What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
We normally have a large family (overnight) gathering at our house for New Years holiday.
ReplyDeleteI got ready for it last year and then other extended family cancelled it (last minute, I had already cooked and cleaned, beds ready) because of work/health issues, precovid.
That was annoying and sad.
However, this year, I am okay with no one extra coming. It is like last year softened the blow.
We now have six of us here. My adult kids (after testing, quarantining, retesting) are all here. So that is plenty. Three are staying until at least spring. One may be going back to college in a few weeks.
Having filets on the grill and playing board games at my bestie's house. She and my kids are the only ones in my bubble. So look forward to a change of scenery. I have been doing my errands 1 a day just to get out of the house. Yay. Going to mail some letters at the drive up today. Bet you guys have some fun planned!
ReplyDeleteI have a mammogram scheduled at 7:30am and the hubs has to work, so I'll spend the day doing laundry and cleaning the house a bit. I have some sparkling grape juice a friend gave me that I might open. Neither one of us will make it to midnight, and an ice storm is predicted for New Year's Day, so we'll be holed up inside. If I'm smart, I'll make some soup!
