Hello Monday, and Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra. It's been a week of rain & storms here in central Kentucky. I've tried to get a few things done and have been consistent with blogging...Let's get with the categories shall we..?
** The Weather **
We might get a few days reprieve from the Rain & Thunderstorms...
** As I look outside my window **
It's Early:ThirtyAM - dawn is barely making an appearance with current temp of 27°
I'm glad I covered up my tender Clematis ladies..I have buds ready to bloom and don't want anything to happen to them. At this point though I may need to build a hut around them with these nighttime temps.
** Right now I am **
Drinking coffee, working on this post..
** OOTD **
Night clothes for now, will be changing into warm leggings and top for my walk/run. I really need to get 3-4 miles in today.
** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **
Feeling excited! my runner girl Vicky surprised me with this map.
1st State pin in my map will be in just a few weeks with Flying Pig 3-way w/Cheese..Eeek!
I don't feel ready, but it'll be what it'll be.

** Goal/To Do List **
First, coffee & trying to work out my weekly schedule when my office assistant decided it was time for a nap...I woke him up early this morning 🤣
** Around The House **
Other than Basic routine, I hope to get the floors refreshed.
With these cats I don't have rugs down, so there are tracks from the Mr and cat paw prints from them being in the basement.
** Project this Week **
Hopefully we can get the basement dried out...
Hopefully we can get the basement dried out...
With all the record-breaking rain fall we've had, it was inevitable the basement would take on water...
** Today's Motivation **
Though a bit conceded, it's the truth on so many levels.
** Something fun to share **
Not sure it's ''fun'' for anyone else but I do enjoy getting these adjustments...and when he does my sinus adjusting OMG! I haven't taken any sinus meds yet! [knock on wood]
** Looking forward to this week **
Mahjongg with the Gal Pals, it's been a few weeks.
Hike tomorrow with the G'Kid,
** From the camera **
Finally able to get some weeding done in one of the flower beds,
Hopefully I'll be able to throw more mulch this week, that is IF the rain holds off...
** Reflection(s) **
Sometimes I feel frazzled, I tend to drive myself to get more & more done. Help me calm my mind, help me focus on your wonderous Truth.
