Happy Tuesday Everyone! sunshine greets us this morning and although it started out cold, we'll warm up by afternoon. Spring is coming!
I have so much I want to do today but my lazy side might win. Or, if Ido a few little things then I won't feel quite as guilty.
I'd much rather read my book Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan and watch the Netflix series Zero Day which I started and have been trying to binge (it's that good).
The ceiling light in the pantry burned out and it's a pain to change especially since it requires climbing on the ladder. The bulbs are fluorescent and of course we don't have any spare ones handy. My son said he would change that light into something different with ordinary bulbs so they would be easier to change when they burn out. The downside to all that is I have to wait for him to have the time to come here and do it. He's so busy with his own job that he has to find time to fit me in. You would think being his mom I would get priority
I took ground beef out of the freezer to defrost and have to decide what I'm going to do with it for dinner. Meatloaf and meatballs both sound good so it's hard to decide right now.
Hope you're enjoying your day today.

I would let my lazy side win on few days. The more I am growing old, the more I realise that how precious they are
. I have ordered one book just now and that I would be reading for few weeks.
I have so many little things waiting around the house to be done, but I want my husband to take care of them. And he is too busy to fit me in despite living under the same roof
Have a wonderful day. Mine is coming to an end. It's past 9:30 PM. I am done with the day and myLot for a while.

You are right about lazy days being precious.
Hope you can get your husband to do those things around the house

Meatball sounds good. I had fried eggplant stuffed with fish paste for dinner last night.

I gave up florescent lights a few years ago and bought those with the bulbs that are supposed to last forever. They are bright and have been working fine

That's probably what I'm going to wind up doing. I really forgot we had those fluorescent lights and what a pain.

Hope your internet doesn't give you any more problems. It's certainly a nuisance when it isn't working

Its been OK, I was just talking with my mom she and my dad went to visit a senior facility in their area. They said it had seven floors and is not very homelike. I am surprised they went there. They are already on the list for another facility that everyone likes. I was there a few years ago for my great aunt;s 100th birthday. She is 103 now I think! Wow! Still good cognitively too, as far as I know. My mom might be having trouble managing my dad. I need to hear more.

IF your parents are considering a senior facility I hope they find one that suits their needs.

Just be thankful he can do it. It's just a long project that won't get done in a couple of minutes.

Your dinner sounds better than mine
I decided on meatloaf (just easier) and we had mashed potatoes.
