Sunday re-Set

Finally Friday

Dinner Prep...

Downtown Business meeting

 

Thursday Thoughts

 

Not much to say today, went to Kiwanis meeting this afternoon, came home and watched movie with the Mr... 

Got email about the re-scheduled Snowball Express 2 miler it's now totally virtual which works out in my favor. 

The Month is Flying By...

Does anyone else realize March will be here in No Time!

*****

BuddyBoy found his warm spot on the bathroom vent...disregard the wall it's because of the PurrBoys we're not priming/painting. 

Whereas JinX commandeered the dining room vent.  [2 more years hardwood floors get refinished]

*****

Took advantage of oven being on to 'bake' my eggshells and used coffee grounds. These will go around plants in the garden later this spring.  

More to do to set up my Friday...catch ya later!

Wednesday in the Word + Eye follow-up Burp!

 

Today is eye surgery follow-up day...

Mr is getting counselled on what the technician's findings are after getting examined...

Doc confirmed Mr has a 'pocket' of fluid [minor thank goodness]

that will need to be Burped...❓👀❓

THAT my friends required Doc taking a needle and do a minuet prick to drain pocket... 

*****

After appointment it was time for Bible Study...

I'm always grateful to be able to attend...Learning 'new' every time I'm with my church family.

*****

Home to get this post finished, I worked on removing more snow/ice in parking areas while Mr napped, then relax & dinner.

Unfortunately, my path/route area for walk/runs is still under a foot of Ice-Snow-Ice and with the drivers out there I really don't want to walk in the street....I know I could do the treadmill but I'll do what I can at my next race and it'll be what it'll be🤷.
