Well, the new tub is in but still needs the electrical connection stuff done for the hydrotherapy feature. Toilet is out and handyman says he won’t be able to replace it until next week. Yikes! Thank heavens there is another one downstairs although the trek to get to it in the middle of the night [...]

Thank you for leftovers! As I drove home from the Knitters Guild meeting on Saturday, I gave a passing thought to dinner. Oh, yes! I have leftovers from Friday which will make dinner a quick matter. That was important to me because I wanted to go to the symphony.

Yesterday was a productive day. I started by going to the bank to take care of some financial matters connect to my bathroom renovations. Next stop was at the doctor’s office to get a prescription for the tub so I would be able to take a tax deduction for it on my income tax next [...]

I had some time between finishing tutoring the kids in reading and my appointment to have my car safety inspected. I stopped at the county library which is about half-way between the two places and used their computer to check email. I also wanted to place an order via the web. I found the items [...]

I am a little surprised how quickly the bathroom renovations are coming together. It was just a week ago that I met with the salesman for the Premier bathtub. It is to be delivered next Monday. Installation is to start on Tuesday. The salesman was true to his word and helped me find a handyman [...]

Think I’ve found a cure for grey winter days. If not a cure, at least something to make them more bearable. Knit something in bright colors! Perks me right up. Currently, I’m making a top-down raglan baby sweater for an upcoming arrival’s gift. I’m using an inexpensive cotton in a bright blue/green/yellow colorway. It’s amazing [...]

This morning I was out delivering flowers for a local florist. I was supposed to be at the depot at 7:30 to get my orders written up. Unfortunately, I ran into traffic like I couldn’t believe. I didn’t see any accidents and the weather wasn’t bad this morning but it took me a half hour [...]

Brr … it turned much colder on Sunday with a high only in the low 20s (F). There I was with freshly washed long hair that wasn’t quite dry. I had to leave to go to the Sit ‘n Stitch at Michaels. I wondered if I would catch a bad cold since my hair wasn’t [...]
