What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post.

We normally have a large family (overnight) gathering at our house for New Years holiday.

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!
