Weekly Flylady Thread 13th December 2021

Narc0lepsy

Exhausted. Well, nearly. I'm getting good at just focusing on what I am doing now and what 1 thing comes next - if I think beyond that I'd get overwhelmed.
- up and sprayed last night's flower arrangements.
- last 'live' student at uni, a lovely girl, really finished this term off well.
- was texted while I was at uni by workplace 'student' whose last session I have tomorrow. Apologised profusely but she needed my final invoice and lesson plan asap instead of tomorrow (pretend I'm writing this on Thursday) as her laptop was being taken away tomorrow so she had to get everything sent to the manager today.   So, got home luckily early from uni, had a quick coffee and lunch then did invoice before my drum lesson.
- drum tutor loved his flower arrangement, as did neighbour who had kindly let us park on her drive for a week while the builder was doing our patio.
- went to Mr T on way home from drumming (great lesson drumming to Christmas songs!)
- booked 3 zoom meetings
- finished and emailed a report.
- did as much as I could of another; am having zoom with manager tomorrow as it's a tricky one.
- organised 'stuff' for tomorrow: 1st decorate church 2nd workplace student session 3rd do more of the tricky report in time for 4th zoom meeting.     HOPE after the meeting I can finalise the 2 tricky reports and get them ready for sendoff.
Mr N is now my permanent cook and cleaner.  I retire defeated.

For the love of chickens.. I now have a stonking migraine.. I think my body hates me. As if the normal every day pain isn't enough.. I am so fed up. I really wish there was a magic wand to fix this.

2x wm done.. but now it needs hanging up.

Dot is back to school for the last day tomorrow.. I wouldn't bother but I need the break.. Twinkle is much better but her class are going to the pantomime and I don't like them being on trips when they are so little so while she is possibly well enough to be back I am keeping her home. She is getting tired very quickly still and not back to eating properly, but she has pink lips again, they were grey up until a few days ago.

Neighbours drug stench reported to the police again.. either the police will get fed up and do something or the neighbour will get fed up of me sending the police round and move out.

Pigpen Glad to hear Twinkle is on the mend, I was worried about her (see I could make worrying into an Olympic sport).  Hope you are feeling a bit better this morning too.

Work meeting last night went better than expected.  IBD nurse emailed and said that they have made DS an appointment with a gastroenterologist  on 29th December which is such a relief.  He is refusing to take the antibiotics for his chest but I am working on it.

And DH has found a car for sale at a garage near the big city that is exactly what we want, although knowing our luck it will probably be sold by the time we get to look at it.

So things are a little more positive this morning.  And only 4 days left at the paid stuff - although I am winding down already.

Workout next, then shower and on with the paid stuff.  Working from home today, there is washing to go over the airer but otherwise the house is fairly clean and tidy.

Morning xx 

Yesterday was a better day thank you GI - there was a brief tantrum outside my office door. Those two are heading towards a mega fall out. But, on the whole the cockwombles stayed away and peace was restored. It's been such a long week, I think it might be next Friday not this Friday 🙃 But it's definitely Friday yayyyy. 

I will feed the birds and put out the recycling before I go to work. Stemming the overwhelm at weekends is definitely making life easier the rest of the week 😊

Yesterday I paid the rent and withdrew cash for Christmas presents and to pay the hairdresser tomorrow. I've ordered the eau de watsit for DB, and birthday presents for DS (29 years old on 30th Dec).  

This weekend's top priorities:
Mega wrapping session 
Shopping list 
Spend my divi at Mr C00p- it feels like a free shop 😊

I can feel green tick list brewing - sorry ladies.

Love to all. One day at a time. One thing at a time. And breathe....

Hugs

Mademoiselle

Good morning.  I treated myself to a lie in this morning as OH is away and I don't have anything time critical until 10.

It's been officially announced that OH will be pursuing other interests from the end of April, I guess that means they can't back down and I seriously need to get on with selling this place.  Nothing like a deadline to give me a kick up the ****.  OH has sold his toy car and it's being collected next week, so that is another step in the right direction.  Now we really need an ACTION PLAN.  It's something we both want but still a bit nerve wracking.  

Bed made, clothes picked up
DW & kitchen sorted
Pellets brought in
More emails filed than received, I will gradually get them sorted
Banking and spending spreadsheet done

Next coffee, bring more pellets in, book 3 estate agents for 1st week of January and then video lesson (really  easy fun conversation with an up and coming motorcross rider, who has been invited to train abroad next year)

Put your best SMILES on, it's Friday

I'm far from a worrier and I was concerned for a few minutes there. She is coughing horrendously this morning but her temp is ok so I think she is just clearing the gunk which is a good sign.

Trust him.. If he is anything like me in the stubborn mule dept he will know when medication is necessary he is just trying out that immune system and hoping it will do its job.. He isn't daft just being a bit stubborn and resistant.

Migraine pills and pain meds washed down with 2 other lots of medication and a cuppa.. Love my morning jingle sesh.. (rattle like a pill bottle)

Dot dumped in school.. nasty lurgied child.. sent her back to share the germs from whence they came.
Squeak skiving.. she is supposed to be sorting prep for her science lesson at 10!
Twinkle playing on the xbox, sat wrapped in a blanket on the sofa.

Lots of washing to hang up..

kazwookie

Daily stuff done

Cats sorted

Ironing done and away, 2 empty baskets

Bin got back in

It is grey and foggy this morning.

Have a good day

pigpen

Twinkle napping again already.. school would not have been the right idea!!

Squeak in her lesson, OH in the shower..

I may have to go wrap things..

I want to nip myself to Dunelm at some point and grab a cushion pad for my sisters present..

I also need to pay swimming and Dance/drama classes.. I do not have enough digits in my bank balance!! lol

Sorry I have been quiet! I have caught up the thread - hugs/sticks/spoons offered as needed. GWS wishes to all the poorlies. Brilliant news Mr & Mrs kaz 🙂 

I have been busy this weekend, tidying & getting ready for Christmas. The tree is up. Crazy cat has been showing interest, but I have a water spray handy to 'discourage' any naughtiness! He is asleep upstairs atm. 

Natty Have you received my cards? They were posted on Friday 

Hi Hon. I've just double checked and your cards haven't arrived here yet 🙁 Not sure what has happened but I do know mail is taking a bit longer. Hopefully they'll arrive today. If not I'll post them on separately when they do get here, don't worry.

So glad your DS is ok, as others have said the car can be replaced the main thing is that he is ok. Just keep an eye on him as he could get delayed shock ❤️❤️
