About to lose my mind....

 I got to thinking yesterday.  Yep.  I thought I would gather supplies and finally get around to making my lip balm.  Then I got to thinking about where I put them, and went to look.  I completely forgot I used all my tubes with the last batch.  

I just ordered the lip balm tubes, and then realized that I can't even make them until I can get into the office (where the recipe is at on a buried bookshelf).

I took photos of the living room, for insurance purposes, since there is no crawl space.  Then I realized my thumb drives are all in the office.  I need to load the photos, get them printed and put into our Home Owner's Journal.

Same issue making homemade face lotion - recipe book buried in the daggum office.

I really need to make a day out for myself, just because, even after getting to town the other day (it was late and no time to do anything but get wood).

Now the truck is loaded with wood.  Again.  I could just drag it around with me, but then that will be when the Handy Man needs it.  I'm not sure why it's not unloaded really.  

I plan to put all important recipes on the computer and on a thumb drive when I do have access to them again.  I will then have them when I need them, just in case for future purposes.

Is the subfloor down yet?  Nope!  And I didn't find out until last night he won't be back for a few days now.  So...no rolls for the Thanksgiving gathering this weekend.  A monkey couldn't get that recipe binder out of the office right now.

I am so sorry! It sounds as though this remodel is a real pain in the tush. I wish you could get to your office.

Geez, that's pretty frustrating. Brings to mind how it is that often when I start to do a chore, there are about five other things that have to be done before I can do that chore. This is why I often don't get to eat breakfast until 9 o'clock.

Please give yourself a break. I sure that you are very overloaded with work. You make me tired to even think about all that.
Carol, thank you!

chipmunk, you are right about that. Seems like forever to get this done.

Sharon, I am taking Thanksgiving day to do absolutely nothing.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
