Thanks everyone for the good wishes for my mum! She is doing better and should be able to come home today or tomorrow she thinks. Molly is coming over in an hour and we are going to Denny's for breakfast and then we are going to my mum's house to do cat stuff and play with Milo ... he's probably so lonely! Do you have kids with opposite personalities when it comes to helping out? Molly always says yes ... Emma always says no. It drives me nuts! I had Subway for dinner last night and still have half of it left ... if it isn't too soggy it might be dinner tonight!

Well, it's Spring Break but my mum is in the hospital. She is severely dehydrated and has something going on with her kidneys ... ugh! I have no idea how long she will be there ... I have to go and deal with her cat every day until she comes home ... So that's my news! I have no idea what dinner will be ... depends if I feel like cooking!

The best thing about winter here is that our native trees are evergreen, so there is always colour. Our native trees are evergreen as well ... but all of the trees on this property are at the front ... they are huge and beautiful! Here are the trees I had in my back yard at my old house!

Is the med actually helping you sleep leannec? I know how badly you suffer from insomnia and I also know just how much of my own mood is dependent on good sleep. I just hope you can finally rest. I do sleep but I'm not on a regular schedule yet ... leannec is the medication just for a few days? I struggle with insomnia too. It's up to me how long I take it ... I've been taking my previous meds for many years ... I will see if the grogginess goes away and then decide

Hi everyone! I'm having a slow start today ... I'm on a new med for sleep and it is making me groggy in the morning ... It has finally stopped snowing! I shouldn't complain because the farmer's and forests really need it! Here is the (not so) scenic view from my patio this morning I'll just putter around here today ... no specific plans ... Dinner will be rechauffee shrimp fried rice and mixed veggies How are you doing lately tanya2? I have been thinking about you! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

sueg I love the photo of your gorgeous little fairies! My friend and I were reminiscing the other day about when our daughters were young and loved dressing as fairies. I sent her a photo of our girls in their fairy costumes at the park when they were about Sophia's age. Oh I miss those times! I miss the fairy days too! My dd's went to "Fairy Camp" in the summer for a week for years ... it was fun! I see them every time I look at my avatar here so it's all good!

Whelp….I guess I was a little too optimistic about my mammogram yesterday. I called back in for further imaging ( a diagnostic mammo and ultrasound) Luckily they had a spot available Monday morning. Want to know the kicker???….its not the right one that I can feel something and had the biopsy on last year. It’s my left one, the one I wasn’t even thinking about! Ohhh boy!! Well, that just sucks!!! I hope this turns out to be nothing!

Hi everyone! I am about to leave to get my mum and myself a few groceries ... and she needs cat stuff ... she is still feeling under the weather ... Those are my only plans today ... it is STILL snowing I'm so glad that Kate was able to be frank with the public about what is going on with her ... I feel sorry for her that she had to do it though ... life of a public figure! This is what I posted on Facebook today: I will probably order something in for dinner tonight ... no idea what! My heart goes out to you and your family littlemama! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

Positive thoughts going out to tmarschall and Mr. tmarschall! And to you today scrapmaven! My mum is feeling ill today ... there is an outbreak of some sort of gastro-intestinal bug going around in her facility ... maybe she has it If she doesn't feel better by tomorrow, I will have to go shopping for her ... Today, I am doing little to nothing! Spring Break started today ... I'm off until April 2nd For dinner, I might actually make the corn chowder I've been threatening to make for days!

It's been snowing continuously here for two days ... lot's of accumulation ... it's -10 degrees Celsius at the moment ... Winter has not left us yet. I need to go to the post office soon to Express Post even MORE forms to the retirement people! Ugh! I just want to get paid!!! I have been retired since February 1st and still haven't been paid! I had no intention of driving anywhere while the weather is crappy but now I have no choice ... at least I have 4WD! I'll do a bit of laundry and iron my Spring linens to decorate today! Dinner will be something from the Hello Fresh stuff I forgot to cancel this week.

I had a hysterectomy in my early 40's and they said they left my ovaries ... the entire event is a blur so I'm not entirely sure ... I haven't had a single symptom ... I thank my lucky stars! Going for more than ten years without a period is awesome! If I was super symptomatic I would look into HRT ...

It's snowy here again and cold. Nothing like what they were expecting in leannec neck of the woods, but just enough to be annoying here. It definitely snowed here last night and it keeps stopping and starting today ... we have three or four more days of this weather to look forward to and so the snow is going to build up ... great. I'm glad you had safe travels scrapmaven ... hope your doctor visit is productive! Safe travels to you karenlou and sueg! I don't have any plans for today so I have no excuse when it comes to cooking tonight. I am not positive but I might make corn chowder (Hello Fresh) ...

As long as I had access to books I would be fine. I would miss in a big way my phone and laptop ... but I would have TV right? I live alone and will be spending the next few days holed up at home because we are expecting a huge snowstorm ... I probably won't surface until Saturday! But I will have internet ... I don't do "outside" so walking is a non-issue!

She wants to stockpile diapers before the baby gets here. I would strongly recommend not doing this! I found that certain brands fit my dd's well at certain ages and then stopped fitting ... then we switched brands! We had to switch a number of times as they grew ... Just my two cents! lucyg the 15yo got me thinking about how long we have all been on this board. Kait was just a baby when I joined the original 2peas. She is now 24! A lot of life has happened and great friendships have formed. Yes! My dd's were 5 and almost 1 in my avatar ... now they are 25 and almost 21!

I live in a condo so mine is probably smaller than what you are looking for ... and it is fabric because I have no small children or pets ... but I love it ... it's from Ashley ... I've had it more than a year and it still looks good! This is it: Please excuse the crumpled pillows!

I won't be going anywhere because people forget how to drive in this weather My house is clean so I don't feel guilty about just hanging out! Dinner tonight is rechauffee Swiss Steak ... it turned out really well! Positive thoughts going out to scrapmaven!

In that vein, if you are retired or if your DH/SO is retired, was it a easy or hard adjustment? Well, I have been semi-retired for almost two months ... it doesn't feel much different because I was on multiple leaves of absence before I retired What will be weird is actually going back to work some days! I don't bore very easily so just hanging out at home is my idea of a good time ... my laptop, phone and TV are my entertainment ... I hope to start reading again too Oh, and surfing my dating apps is always entertaining!

The commercials are hokey but I really like my GothamSteel pans!
I have them in various sizes and there is no chipping ...

Update: I'm making Swiss Steak for dinner ... my girlfriend is MIA so I still have no idea if she is coming over ... whatever. I make my SS almost like taylortroop except I use a big can (or two) of diced tomatoes, only a bunch of sliced onion for veggie and a splash of Worstershire Sauce ... simmer for a couple of hours in a dutch oven and YUM! . I serve it with rice ... I no longer own a crock pot so that's not an option ...
