me thinks thats why" tex sis" left for a few days  to stay with friends a  couple hours away from pancake sis

I think she might be leaving sometime this week to back to Tx...about a 20 hour train ride ..

.but

if its Mothers'Day weekend.  coming..might take  her longer if train needs to make a lot of stops

So maybe i'll get to spend 2 or 3 days with them.

But i come back to my house every night...need my own bed  and quietness from pancake butting in.:..a regular know-it-all  and believes everything said on newscasts  and her newspaper!

lubs ya!

I hope you get a chance to visit with your Texas sister alone before she heads back home.  

I'm the same way about needing my own house and my own bed at night, even though I usually don't sleep much.  And you need your peace and quiet after listening to pancake and all her opinions!😵‍💫

@Yahooey : I had been waking up with neck and shoulders stiff and hurting including the other stuff. That didn't happen this morning. I have been moving stuff on my side of the den. I was trying to move the new chair about 2 inches closer to my bookcase that has the square cubes holding my stuff. The chair is heavy and difficult to move. I took a break and will try to do more later.

Your home project sounds wonderful. It is frustrating and difficult waiting for the different craft men to finish their project.Slowly moving toward the finished redo. Then enjoy!

@cowboy sam : This chair is so much more comfortable for sitting, watching tv and sleeping.

Sooooooooooo happy you got your new chair🤗🤗

Comfort is everything! Enjoy your new recliner  and love  the color of chocolate    my couch is that color

Riding in cars " without" the years past cushioned seats is very uncomfortable for me...and need my walking cane to get out of back seat,etc...sigh..but i'm out of my house for a while.

lubs ya!

@geezerette @cowboy sam @Yahooey : Just receiving estimates for house cleaning - Yikes. I always appreciated friend cleaning my house and was giving me a big discount of paying $60 week and tried to give her tips and special items she liked.

Waiting for two more estimates. Praying that I can afford biweekly cleaning.❤🤗

@SouthernBee 

Things are starting to fall in place for you....just a thought  how about asking your s/i/l ?

You said she did a good job helping you before...and maybe she could use the extra money...

plus your dh would be kept happy....and after she was done he could treat her a meal at their favorite eating place

lubs ya!

@cowboy sam : SIL schedule varies with her cleaning houses with her daughter, her prices very expensive. This one daughter , we are friendly to her but she has a superior attitude around us. Plus SIL also baby sits for grand kids. Plus SIL has had periods of avoiding us and not answering her phone or coming to her door.

My new chair. Chair very comfortable sitting in this position in the picture. Comfortable just sitting or watching tv. If I totally recline: fall asleep while watching tv.🤓

Good Morning: Hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am dealing with so much. 

DH recliner is oversized and a rocker recliner and difficult for me and hurts my back more. When purchased could not find recliner cover to fit. DH sweats alot  and to protect it decided to cover it with a sheet but had to remove it every other day to wash . Tried to get DH help to remove sheet and wash. Finally found this but DH didn't like it.Then this week found something else on Amason that was delivered yesterday.Told DH needed his help putting it on.I was shocked when he agreed .I was worn out and hurting and took pain medicine. He liked the better fit and full coverage. Waiting for DH to wake up . I hope he likes this one because much easier on me.

Hi Y'all: I need to vent. DH is a hoarder. The reason I had the family room added in 2017. So if we had company could close the den door and take company to the family room. DH has two other rooms down the hall. His computer room: I clean it every spring or whatever someone comes to work on the computer. The other room is across the hall and this is his tv room and I clean it every spring and fall. I always keep the door to these rooms closed.I never let my friend or SIL clean his areas or my middle room.

His side of the den is bad. I suggested that his area needed to be purged and some items put in his tv room , necessary to make it easier for whom ever to clean. Ok. I am going to post photo because I need help and suggestions. 

DH determined where to place his tv and recliner.  Created another problem. What he wanted next to his recliner within arms reach not near the wall. If the recliner was moved over, not centered to watch tv.🙄😯

I must confess that last fall I put a table behind his stuff to get the surge protectors off the floor and needed a place for the vaporizer. I have been trying to find something smaller and narrow to use. I hope y'all can understand this. I appreciate any suggestions.

Good Afternoon. I forgot to tell Y'all. We have been invaded by them bugs. I can't spell it or pronounce it. Starts with a "C". Ok found it: cicadeas. Very loud , enough to make someone crazy. We live in a cul  d sac with a lot of trees. Noticed it Friday going out and hear it every time DH opens the garage door. Feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone .🙄😯

I took some measurements around DH bipap table.I found this:

Good Morning Y'all. Currently 70 and today's high suppose to be 89 but partly cloudy.

I learned something yesterday. Every end table that I was looking on the Walmart site and liked put in my shopping cart to look more later. Discovered on some options you can pay extra $59 for someone from Angi to contract you to assemble the product. I asked DH if he would assemble it for me and you can imagine the look that I got. Extra money yes but a big help to me. I am trying to purge the den. Plus for more than two years wanting to purge the den.

The house cleaning services are expensive and you pay more for extra stuff. They requested $45 extra for windows or to clean the inside of a refrigerator.Hoping when SIL mentions she is really low on money , she will clean the windows in the living room and family room for me.  They strongly suggest : a tip for the cleaners.

DH took a friend to the hospital for test. When I finish my cup of coffee , will try to purge his corner of the den and move extra stuff to his tv room.My back and legs are hurting but need to do extra stuff and then decide which cleaning service to use.

Hope your day will be more fun and exciting.🤓🤗🤗❤❤🙏🙏
