What Have You Been Doing So Far This Week?

13 years ago

I have mostly been running around with family. Monday I went to Marion with husband,and Cheryl and Kevin. We ate at Ryan's and then shopped at Big Lot's. Used the 20% off everything coupon. Tuesday I went with Amber to Anderson and I got to go to Joann's, Hobby Lobby and Big Lots again with another coupon. We ate at KFC. Today I went with Amber to do our weekly grocery shopping in Noblesville and we had lunch from Wendy's. I brought half of mine home for supper. I think I will be home the rest of the week:). I did find some great deals today on little tiny girl clothes so of course I had to buy some. Tell us about your week so far?

Cleaning, cooking, baking, laundry. I'm on a high dose of steroids for my lung condition, and bouncing off the walls with energy.

I saw a tooth implant specialist yesterday, he told me to come back in a month. Talked to a gal about getting a city easement moved off my property and down to an empty lot a block away. There was a hearing to settle my FIL's estate. He died 2 years ago. Stopped at the grocery store to pick up snacks to take on our get away; we rented a ski condo with the intent of walking ALL over photographing a snow sculpture competition. I injured my foot yesterday. It's turned black, blue and swelled up. :0)

Hope everyones week is going better than mine!

So what have you killed so far this year?
Q

Did we have a worse winter than usual for zone 5? My 1 yr sweet autumn clematis hasn't returned. Another established clematis, type 3, didn't return. If it's Venosa Violacea I'm going to be upset, I have to check my garden "map". My container spruce, which I wrap well each year and made sure to water during warmer temps is really brown. My 2 year Fothergilla Major Mt. Airy died. My 1st year Willow Hakuro Nishiki looks completely dead. My 3rd year Golden Spirit died back to the snow line, but this didn't happen in prior years. My "Grace" came back a real winner, no dieback at all. My Sombreuil Rose bush, which I usually bury the crown, wrap in burlap and cover each winter, though the only thing I did this past winter was cover the crown and nothing more, returned with very little dieback to my amazement. Better than any other year. Go figure. Some hostas, which I was warned last year after purchasing that they aren't hardy, never to be seen again. Some groundcover sedum which probably never had a chance to establish -- nothing. Also lost a Weigela My Monet, thankfully still under warranty. Very Bad year!!!! Oh, and don't fret about the Asters. I had several varieties and they've all disappeared. I suspect it's the rabbits.

So how many flats do you have on the go so far?
Q
Comments (5)
I have about 6 or 7 flats started and mostly doing well. I have 28 tomato plants just put into separate pots (3 varieties: Black Krim, Iidi and Padova). Also, there are 3 flats of coleus, one flat with cuttings from last year's favourites and the other 2 with new seedlings. I'm trying for ones with a lot of yellow in the leaves but not having much luck. But I do have one rather small and weak one with almost completely black leaves. Probably the colour is why it's not growing very fast (not enough chlorophyl),but it seems healthy. I also have lots of baby primulas of 3 kinds. Two sets are in the cold frame as they are from last year, and the others are auriculas from this year. I got the seeds from France and had quite poor germination so I'm watching the plants I did get really closely. For unusuals, I have seedlings of things I collected in parks and nurseries locally. They didn't care if I collected seeds, so I went wild! Now I have red yuccas, pineapple lilies, phormiums, pearly whites (a local wildflower) and eryngium agavafolium.I also have 3 different kinds of penstemons, but while growing, they're very slow and tiny. Let's hope at least some of them survive!

I started a two week consulting job last Monday morning so have not been online much this week. Monday evening I attended a photo class. I now volunteer for the state of California monitoring the endangered Least Tern nesting grounds at Huntington Beach so I did that last Tuesday morning. My new client was kind enough to let me honor that commitment. Last night I attended a high school tennis team awards banquet for the boys my husband coaches. Today I took a photo class and tomorrow we are celebrating Mother's Day since my daughter couldn't make it to town last weekend. Monday is her 28th birthday so we are celebrating that as well. Jodi-

I could use some of those steroids, Monica. I did do all the laundry, cleaned a little, paid all the bills, went to Gainesville with Harry for his doctor appointments, got a haircut, grocery shopped and fixed meals. Every day I straighten the house, make the bed, etc. Other than that, nada, nothing!

Monday--appt. with my urologist (he released me, tests were all good and he doesn't want to see me unless I have more kidney stones); ran to the bank, laundry, then DH and I had our regular check-ups that night.

Yesterday--had to run to the nursing home for yet another loose end to tie up, puttering around here. Then DH and I went out to grab a quick dinner and make a Home Depot run to get paint chips for the living room (finally picked out furniture, need to paint now, before it arrives).

Today? Mostly spent the day clearing the driveway and sidewalks. And another foot to come tonight--YUCK! Did call the Surrogate's Office to postpone my appt. from tomorrow to next week--that will will wait. Hope DH filled the snowblower with gas when he got home. I like to get it done while he's at work so he doesn't have to worry about it when he comes home.

Making up for being sick last week...travel part of the office is swamped because of the super bowl. (Sometimes servicing the high end clientele is tough.) And my real job is busy as well...a couple of weeks ago my computer decided to start to die so I ordered a new one, it came in and we installed it last night. I hate Windows 7 and absolutely detest live mail! So I went and bought Outlook, installing that in the morning!

Hauling mom to radiation treatments. It snowed the night before yesterday and I am a wuss about driving in snow. I put on my big girl panties and went anyway. Made it very early and did a little thrift store shopping. Still was an hour early for her treatment and we went in thinking they would have a lot of cancellations - and their machine was down. So instead of running an hour early - it all ran an hour late. Then we came back to our town and I took her to the local hosp for her blood work.
I am praying the radiation takes away the hip pain she has had for a while.
