Life...
First, the food processor died and wouldn't spin the blade. Hubby messed with it too.
Then I went to use the blender to replace it (making garlic butter, so it's pureed together.) Couldn't get that to work either, so knew that was something stupid (didn't have it locked into place).
Pain makes thought processes hard.

Today's dinner is courtesy of Dinnerly. We used their meal kit yesterday for chicken fajitas.
I hope their gyros are better than their fajitas were. I'm a good cook, so simplified recipes minus many of the traditional ingredients are a hard sell for me.

Day 3-got the plug in drill. Drilled 1 hole in base plate to attach it properly.
Day 4-Will he actually get the new fixture mounted??

I thought the last half of the day, that part that ends at midnight, went too fast before.
Post DST?
It's ridiculous how fast it gets here. Ugh, it's going to take me a month to adjust!

On Sunday, we met up with some friends, along with our granddaughters, for a few hours of park & fishing. It was real nice, except for the no-see-ums & the fact I forgot the bug repellent.
I now look worse than I did with measles or chicken pox & the itching is right up there with the chicken pox. I'm miserable & taking benadryl to help. I haven't had to use it much in the last few years, so it leaves me sleepy.
Misery is my name.

Well, my body is telling me that the witching hour is nearly upon me. I actually used an alarm this morning to ensure I was up early after a not-so-good-night. Pain & night sweats together conspired to keep waking me up.
Tonight, I intend to sleep...with no alarm going off in the morning, if I can help it.

Today's dinner is an easy one. Zucchini sautéed w/peppers. Instant mashed potatoes, and a frozen pack of salsbury steaks in gravy. Cheap meal as well.

Hmm my plans for the day may not happen. My mother is lollygagging with a cat in her lap watching a movie, still not showered or dressed. Another hour, and it's going to be too late to be bothered with plans.

Quiet afternoon. mom's napping, hubby's on a taxi marathon, I'm alternating between games I play, Duolingo, & here while sipping a mocha coffee & munching on my banana cake.
Peace is nice.

It's a chilly day, so I finally resorted to fleece pj pants to warm up aching knees. We'll see how long before I'm overheating though!
I did sleep with my "cooling" blanket last night for the first time. I *think* I like it, but I'll like it better when it's warm all night.

Hubby is TRYING to drive me crazy. He puts on the radio...loudly...in the room I'm in, then leaves to go to the bedroom & continue his endless Star Trek marathon...leaving ME with the radio blasting away.
Does he not think that I'm capable of turning on a radio or tv on my own? Or am incapable of choosing what to listen to?

I had a bad night last night, up every hour to run to the bathroom...again. I do take my diuretics in the evening & I WAS late taking them, but still...
I do take them in the evening because they are more efficient then, but normally, they've done their initial thing long before I go to bed. Last night was out of the ordinary!
So today kind of sucks. Low energy from interrupted sleep. A newborn baby doesn't wake up as often as I did last night!

Okay, turns out that there was perspiration dampening my socks, hence the cold feet thing. The socks started irritating nerves & causing pain, so I abandoned them to the hamper. Slid my shoes back on...and the insoles were damp. That tells me so were the socks.
So, I have my feet tucked into some micro fleece with the shoes kicked off. Toasty warm.
Nice Christmas Eve way to read.

And once again, I'm late taking my medications. So, I have a drink, my pill bag, and took off shoes & socks to tuck them into fleece to warm up. Much cozier!
