February 9th 2017

What an icky nights sleep!
I woke up sore all over.

Up and dressed by 9am,
I headed downstairs
determined to accomplish
at least some of my to do list.

Gave Mom a call to check in,

drank my tea

and I was off in the truck.

First stop,

Spicers (bakery) for some treats,

a cinnamon bun for Dad

and whip cream donuts for me.

Second stop,

off to Valleyview to see Dad.

Found him watching tv in his room,

so I dragged him down

to the lobby to have coffee

with the guys (he forgot).

We had a couple donuts,

and he was off for lunch.

Third stop,

the recreation director

to arrange the use of the front foyer

for Dad's birthday party.

All arranged meant

I could make the invites.

Fourth stop,

TD (love the drive thru)

to do some banking.

Fifth stop,

Staples for ink cartridges,

where I almost had a coronary

when they told me the total!

Lets just say our car loan

weekly is almost the same.

Sixth stop,

Dollar Tree for a few pick ups

on my to do list.

Seventh stop,

back home again,

I had lunch with hubby

and then sent him off to have

an afternoon nap before work.

Eighth stop,

the laptop to make birthday inserts,

return address labels

and a couple oversize

bulletin board invites.

A bit of trimming

and Mom would be able

to finish the invitations tonight.

Judy came home

just as John got up.

She went for a nap

(reserves night after an 8am shift)

and he left for work....

Ninth stop,

the sofa was where I placed myself

so I could finally finish

the chapter for book club tonight!

Tenth stop,

back in the truck,

I was off tot he book store

to pick up my copy of

"the Happiness Project".

Eleventh stop,

off to Timmies to say hi

to the girls at SMASH book night,

and drop off Mom's stuff.

I was showing her the labels

when we all realized
I PRINTED THEM ON THE

WRONG SIDE OF THE SHEET.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH

Twelth stop,

late again but I made it to Pam's

for our monthly book club meeting.

This is a perfect group fit for me,

I feel safe to talk about things,

and we all seem to enjoy

working out the problems

the book is presenting.

Thirteenth stop,

home again I headed to the kitchen,

and whipped up a pasta dinner

for John to find in the microwave

when he finally gets home

around 6 in the am.

Fourteenth stop,

laundry room to get the load of whites

folded an put away,

along with a couple pieces

that got missed yesterday.

Fifteenth stop,

boooooo!

John did not make the bed

after he had a nap.

I sleep so much better

in a neat bed....

so 11:45pm and I am making my bed.

Sixteenth stop,

pharmaceutical drawer to find gravol

as my stomach is tossing

and I want it to stop and get some sleep.

Seventeenth stop,

this laptop to update my blog.....

Eighteenth stop,

SLEEP!

so,

good night from John Street.
