HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 11 of 2017

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend and remembered to adjust your clocks so you weren’t late this morning. We seem to have quite a few clocks so I adjusted them all late Saturday and changed all the batteries too. Ironically our atomic clock is no longer changing itself so I think it’s on its last legs. I’m just getting used to this new time and someone from a research firm called to do a survey going on 11PM last night and woke me up.  So, last night’s sleep was much less than stellar.

Life has been chaotic at best with my health concerns and appointments. I had to reschedule two specialty appointments and find a new primary care manager when mine up and closed up his office with no forward or warning and without following through with ANYTHING!  Fortunately my insurance was able to get me a new PCM with no wait due to the circumstances. BUT, now I have to see the new PCM before she will do referrals which is postponing appoinments already scheduled – ALL the technical loopholes are a PAIN in the butt, especially all the time spent on the phone dealing with it.  Unfortunately, this has left me a bit lacking on my blogging.  I am really going to try and get my groove back and post more often.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

We had a rainy weekend so everything is a bit wet still, but the temperatures dropped quite a bit too making it more enjoyable around here.  Looks like it will be a really nice week.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE

A little blueberry yogurt and coffee.

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE

I’m fairly happy with the house.  There is still some sorting to do in the studio, but all and all it looks great, at least until I do the laundry.

WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS

  • LAUNDRY
  • SHOWER the dog
  • EBAY – we have quite a few totes full after all our sorting so really want to get moving on listing these items and moving everything out!  What doesn’t sell will get donated to lighten the load.
  • STUDIO – sorting and paperwork
  • BACKYARD – we are waiting on a couple contractor projects (Garage siding and fencing) to be finished before we can complete the backyard so this will stay on the list until the rain lets up and we can actually finish it!

CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR

Trying to get into a few new shows, but just don’t seem to have any interest in TV right now.  I did start a new book though, The Lost Girls of Johnson’s Bayou by Jana DeLeon.

CRAFTS & PROJECTS

Nothing new this week. Hubby is still working on some of my parts for assembly, but his old grinder broke and we’re waiting on the replacement.

I love the quote beside your banner! That is perfect! This time change has just absolutely killed me I’m still not used to it! I think it leaves a lot of extra stress on all of us! LOL

Carrie@northwoods scrapbook

Well that was pretty crummy of your health care person to just drop like that! Gggrr! Folks dealing with health issues definitely don’t need anymore stress! Prayers that it all resolves and works out soon Sweetie.

Hope all goes well with the last of the sorting and selling things. It will be so nice when you can move on from there and all of that stress too!

Great tips as always Tamy. 😉 Blessings on the rest of your week. xoxo

I have to get busy on Ebay too. I packed several totes when we moved of things to list, just haven’t had time to work on it. Have a great week!

Rowana

Oh no so sorry to hear about your doctor-who does that? I hope you are able to ease into the new doctor and referrals go smooth. Have a peaceful week

Jean

Sorry for all the extra stress you have on your plate right now. Hope it all gets straightened out and things improve soon. I can’t believe a researcher called you at 11p.m. That’s way too late! I’d have been pretty annoyed. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead full of great things.
