In and Out in a Day

I vacuumed. 1100 sf house and filled the canister 3 times. This is after sweeping the carpet yesterday!

We are also cleaning the fridge. The freezer contents were still cold but the fridge contents needed to be tossed. It smelled so we have been bleaching it and washing the bins and shelves.

Any idea what "raisins, osmotic" means? I know what raisins are but not quite sure about the osmotic part. It was in my MRE dinner last night.
 
Kat's power is out and she heard it could be a week from now before it's back on. I know some of the substations are flooded.

I know of at least a few friends and coworkers who are homeless after flooding destroyed their homes. For one friend, this is 3rd time home has been destroyed in 7 years: 2 storms and 1 fire. :(
 

Nancy - Thanks. Yes, I need rest. Been trying to see where I can schedule in some time off without any luck yet. Hope you got your cleaning done and that the steam iron thing keeps going for a bit.

Bethany - Stay safe. Hope things dry up for everyone.

Janice - Hope Mr A is better.



Today is Father's Day DownUnder. We celebrate it on the 1st Sunday in September which is different to the US date. DH didn't want any presents but I got him a gift where he can make a cardboard container to put pens/pencils etc in it. I'd already picked this up before he told me no presents. He seemed happy with it and the card. We headed out for breakfast this morning and tried a different cafe. Nothing wrong with the food; but I don't think we'll be rushing back there in a hurry.
It's starting to feel a lot like spring here. Been a long, cold and wet winter and I'm looking forward to a little warmth. I suspect I'll be complaining about the heat at the end of November...but right now, I just need to feel some warm and sunshine soak through to my bones.

Have a great day, everyone.
 
PIO- Happy Father's day to your Hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

The cleaning went okay. I am appalled at the dust and yuck that accumulated since the Spring/Summer. I steamed all my wood just before school let out. This morning I finished, got the floor washed and all of my Fall decorations for the LR/DR placed.

I clean, I really do, so I have to wonder what homes that are not regularly cleaned look like :scared1:

I started my homework and I have a headache. It has been years since I have to use my math............I am taking a beginner algebra class, and :faint: and let us not discuss spreadsheet applications :badpc:

Bethany- WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry about your coworker. I cannot imagine losing my home, never mind three times. :worried:
 
We have Kady today. Marisa and Jeff went to Mohegan Sun to see American Idol. Buddy took her to see Timothy Green while I did homework and now he and I are having a cocktail before dinner. I am having X-Rated on teh rocks and he is having a glass of wine.

:lmao::lmao::rotfl: Oh how I needed this laugh. Thanks for the warning. I remember I had to do some research a while back for my job. Some now I got directed to some S&M website I don't think my hand every found that mouse so quick. I am still blushing a it has been more than a few years.:eek:

:woohoo::hug:

We are having a nice quiet and relaxing day here.
 
Monique – Thanks so much for thinking of us. Stick around and post, please!!!

Glynis – I am so sorry for your family’s loss. How sad for Marci, my prayers are with all of you.

PIO – Please stay and post, you’ve been missed!

Nan – Good luck with your surgery. I will keep you in my prayers.

I kept in touch with Lauri during the storm and the horrible tragedy she and her family endured. I admire her strength, she is incredible.

Seems like Johnny had a mild heat stroke yesterday. I told him it was too damn hot to start clearing the gutters, but he doesn’t listen. He should be ok by tomorrow.

Years ago I was a QA Analyst and I was having issues with the software i needed to use. We did live monitoring and my system was not working. Out IT specialist was in CO and I was in CT so everything was remote. He had my screen in his view and asked me to go to a certain website...................OOPS! Wrong site! Like you I never moved so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance3: Bad enough to go there, all our sites were monitored! But with the IT guy watching my screen! :eek:

It never rains but it pours! How is Johnny today?

i m in awe of Lauri! Her strength is inspiring.

Nancy - I am going to be strong and TRY to stick by your warning. But my first instinct is to open up google and head straight there!! :rotfl2:


I note that you're going for surgery????? Keep well. :hug:

Kat - I've been missing you and your news. Hope things are well with you and I'm glad that you've gotten power back.

I seem to have missed out on a fair bit of news. What's up with Lauri????

Lauri - I hope you're okay.

So am I. I headed to work.....my work colleagues lasted all of 30 minutes. My incessant coughing drove them C-R-A-Z-Y. So I'm home again and in bed. :sick:
 
PIO- I am sorry that you are not well but glad you went home. REST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having carpal tunnel surgery. I know it is not a big deal but I am a bit OCD about how things are at home so I am driving my DH crazy. The poor guy got out of Dodge for a while this weekend so that I could scrub anything that was not nailed down............:woohoo:

Anyway, I am heading back to class today and hopefully have my work done. Financial Accounting may be easy for some folks but Holy Smokes! It is a foreign language to me! Now I know why my own accounting and records are such a train-wreck!
 
Good morning, everyone!

Kathy - I'm so glad you got your power back!!! I don't know what I'd do without power for that long! Tell Johnny that, no matter what he thinks, he's not Superman, and we don't want him to be! We just want him to be well! Take care! Heat stroke can be really serious!

Nancy - Good luck with the carpal tunnel surgery. Let me know how it goes. I'm thinking I'll be needing it at some point. My hands go numb if I type for too long. Congratulations on the house cleaning! My house is clean, but I really need to "deep clean" it by Thursday, as I'm hosting book club. I don't envy you your math homework! I am the world's biggest math idiot! I can't even help Katie and Jacob with theirs! Bad mommy!

PIO - Welcome! I'm so sorry that you aren't feeling well! Take it easy and rest, Rest, REST!!! A belated Happy Father's Day to your hubby, as well! I can relate to you on the change of seasons! We woke up this morning to a mountain full of Fall colored leaves, and a definite chill in the air. Of course, now it's hot and I had to turn the A/C back on, but there's the promise of Fall in the air.

Janice - Katie's meal went quite well! She roasted a turkey breast with sweet potatoes, so the juice from the potatoes helped to season the turkey. It was weird for us, as her "audience" to eat it, and not be able to use pepper, butter or other seasoning. However, I have to say, her cornmeal pancakes with honey were really yummy! I really hope she gets an A on this assignment, because I don't think we could take a "do over."

It's 10:35 here, and I really need to get things in gear! I need to make a menu plan for this week, do the shopping, attend a Drama booster meeting, and go to a city council meeting tonight. We just found out that a drug rehab center has purchased a home a block away from us where they intend to house up to 24 men recovering from drug and alcohol dependency. Now, I'm not against that, but this is a very residential neighborhood, and I just don't think it's a good idea to have this where there are, at last count, over 70 children in elementary school! Alan and I are planning on going to the meeting to lend support to those who want to see the rehab center moved into the center of town, instead of a residential neighborhood. This same company tried to do the same thing a few years ago, but were voted down. This time, they are using the tack that drug and alcohol dependency are recognized disabilities, now, so the ADA works in their favor. We'll see what happens.

No idea what we'll do for dinner. Maybe tuna casserole. I need to get to the store!!!
 
Wanted to stop and say I'm glad you all weathered the hurricane.
Can't imagine not having power for so many days in the heat.
