Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's a little on the cool side, but at the moment clear and bright. The forecast is for it to cloud up as the day goes on, but a high around 60 will still be "comfortable".
** It's so nice to be home, open doors to fresh air, and enjoy the things starting to green up and bloom in my yard. We came home late Saturday afternoon. Amazing, spring "happened" while we were shut away! LOL! Thank you to all of you for your prayers and well wishes; and for hanging in there during this long time off. Hopefully, now, we can get back on a regular schedule. **
Yesterday: I spent the day trying to get caught up and (more or less) organized. It's a whole new experience to try to fix 3 regular meals, and keep within specified guidelines. Of course, there was a bit of laundry; and the usual - decluttering, dusting, vacuuming. In the late afternoon we had company for awhile (even though we had requested people wait until at least today or later - oh well).
Today: There is so much to do I don't even know where to start! LOL! I need to do more cleaning in the kitchen; and I have to figure out DH's meds for the rest of the week (it's done through today). Sometime today a home health nurse is supposed to come by and do an assesment; it would be nice to have some idea when, but we'll just have to stop whatever is going on when she gets here. Since I had to "company's coming clean" yesterday, a lot of the things that need to be packed are shoved behind a closed door. I need to tackle that stuff too. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for a new routine to become "habit"! :)
Today is "Moth-er Day" ... "Pi Day" ... "Commonwealth Day (UK)".
