I am getting some cleaning done. My daughter came home for her 2 week break from PA school and brought so many bags of clothes. I want to get them into donate and put away piles but that girl cannot make a decision to save her life! I am overrun by clothes in this house (not mine) and I want to get a lot of decluttering done!
I got rid of three garbage/goodwill bags of basement stuff yesterday. We don't have a lot of storage in our kitchen, so I am only trying to keep what we use everyday. I am happy to buy/donate when we host for more than the 5 of us.
More cleaning and decluttering tomorrow too. I actually love to do that, so I may use mothers day as an excuse to get the kids to help!

This morning I got a haircut, I was very overdue for one and decided to change my style. I'm so happy that I did! I then poked around Old Navy and picked up a couple of things, same at Nordstrom Rack as we have both in our little outlet mall, then went back home. Now I'm making washi tape samplers and watching the new episodes of The Circle while my laundry washes. This evening my dad's having a small party since his birthday was yesterday so I'll be showing off my new hair, lol.
It's been raining here for two straight days, so ready for it to be over tomorrow!

Swapping out my summer/winter clothes and getting rid of a bunch as I go (3 bags so far!). Going to exercise shortly, and pondering what I want for dinner since my husband is away.

I am in Vancouver with the kids and the dog. The dog adores me. He is the sweetest thing. We are going out for dinner tonight. It’s so peaceful. I love being in the big city!

I am on day 10 of Covid and tested positive again today. I did find the energy to clean my kitchen today. It was beginning to look like an episode of Hoarders.

I took a nap and woke up to find DH had vacuumed and hung my new curtains! They look so much better!
Now we are headed off to the outlet mall for me and pizza for him. We have to drive an hour to get to this pizza place, but they specialize in QC style pizza (which is where we're from) so it's totally worth the drive for us.

Got a Cricut for my birthday/Mother's Day, so I'm figuring out how to use it. Going to take a little snooze, then going out to dinner & to see Brian Regan. Should be a fun night!

My youngest dd is home for the wkend. Hasn't been home since cmas. We are headed to town to have lunch with oldest dd, and then do some shopping. It's a sunny, getting warm out (70s) day here. It's too soon to plant, but I think I might stop and buy some hanging baskets. I usually get a few for Mother's day. Then home and we will go out for dinner tonight. It's my dh's and my 34th wedding anniversary. Tomorrow brunch out at a local resort. So good wkend! suppose to rain tomorrow though. Happy anniversary!!

DD and I had to bring my cat to the Vet for a "viable" checkup. She's had cysitis for years and her infections became constant right when DH passed away. The Vet had bad news and we had to put the cat down. She was almost 13 years old. This is the 3rd cat we've lost since DH passed in November. Seems drastic. We're mourning Fudge's loss, but we know she's finally out of pain. Our other 2 cats (1 is a kidney-patient who has defied the odds thusfar. He's 16. The other is my lovie, black kitty. He's 2) looked for Fudge. The inspected her carrier and looked in every room. They seem sad. At least they have each other & they're the best of friends. I forgot that tomorrow is Mother's Day. Darn!!! I'll have to call my mom. I hope to clear out lots of cat items that were Fudge's. I still have so much to go through of Gary's too. That'll be my weekend. Maybe food shopping too. Im sorry -- that's a hard loss. Thank you, mom. It's been a tough day.

Luckily I’m reading on the couch next to the dog. I took her for a long walk this morning. Dh is at work, 1 dd is studying in her room and the other is at a fair. I don’t have to cook today or tomorrow. The house is full of leftovers and the laundry is done.

I could be doing so much today because I am home by myself but I am watching Flea Market Flip, I had a nap, read a kindle book,and I'm sorting photos.
I went to a few yard sales this morning and bought a bunch of stuff for my granddaughter
What I would like to do before the day is over but I probably won't is hang up all my winter clothes or fold them and put them away, and get my summer clothes out. That would require me getting off the sofa!

I am trapped in an Airbnb somewhere in Pennsylvania with Covid. I flew into NY for a conference on Wed and intended to drive back with my college kid to help get their car back to Texas.
I had a required Covid test on Tuesday to attend the conference and it was neg. Started feeling bad Thurs and tested positive Fri morning. No clue how I got it, and I’m triple vaxxed.
So now I’m patient zero for this conference and the kid and I are isolating because I can’t in good conscience drive across the country with Covid. It’s terrible timing for work, but we’ll just keep taking it one day at a time.
Fortunately the kid seems immune, having had multiple exposures and never testing positive. And at least they were nearby to bust me out of the tiny and expensive NYC hotel and are taking good care of mom!

DH and I drove about 75 minutes to see oldest DGS play in a baseball tournament. Luckily they defeated the #1 seed today (yah!). We will return tomorrow to see his game that begins at 12.

Mostly coughing. Took a home test and it was negative, but I don't know if I trust that. I never stopped masking, etc. Of course, other people masking is at about zero around here so that doesn't help. The weird thing is, I never get sick. It's probably been almost 10 years since I had even a mild cold.

We tried to go to the farmers' market but got caught in a torrential rain/hail storm. We took some flowers to my mom, who is just getting over covid. She and my dad are 80 and both got a mild case, thankfully. We had a distanced outdoor chat! Oh, and DD sent me flowers, which was very sweet of her!.

Called my MIL to wish her a happy birthday and Mother’s Day a day early. Talked for a long time. Then watched a couple of National Scrapbook day workshops. I started the workshops but will need to finish later.

I made my mom's favorite cookie (Cherry Winks). I then put them in individual bags. I added a $5 Starbucks GC in a sandwich bag and then took them downtown to hand out. The weather was crummy though so I didn't see too many people. I did hand out a few though and might try again tomorrow. Otherwise, I will just freeze them and take them to work. It was my way to honor my mom as we lost her in March. She loved her hometown of Pittsburgh even though she had not lived here in many years.
My bf and I watched the Penguins game tonight as well as the 2nd Pirate game of the day. It was relaxing evening. I also talked to my sister on the phone and my daughter twice.

What feels like a never ending yard clean up. Today was filling two large planters with plants, moving rocks, and evening out some space in the back yard. Then there was a lot of swinging. Perfect day to be out until it got to 72 degrees at 9:30 am. High of 86 degrees made it really warm.

It’s midnight and we’re turning in for the night. My husband and I are in Charleston staying with a dear college girlfriend and her husband for the weekend to attend a full weekend of festivities on Isle of Palms for a family wedding.
We attended a family barbecue last night at a beach house, brunch with our hosts this morning, antique shopping for the afternoon with my friend, wedding reception tonight at the Citadel Beach House, and brunch tomorrow with family at another beach house. Such an enjoyable weekend!
