It’s amazingly warm, dark, and rainy this morning. A quick blast from the past with “spring,” and a high around 60 this afternoon, rather than the cold, brisk mornings in the 20s with a high of 40 we’ve been having lately. The roller coaster ride is amazing and a bit difficult to keep up with. If the rain stops, I’ll try to work in the yard this afternoon.

I’m still feeling a bit groggy and fighting the pull to go back to bed and sleep the day away. :0)

The Organized Mama

I had a great time in my art room yesterday. I cleared the decks a bit, got some orders ready to mail, and then worked on my newest piece, a “parrot in a jungle” wood-burned and painted piece. It’s the most challenging thing I’ve tried yet with the wood burning, and I’m really having fun. I finished the wood-burning part of it last night and hope to start painting today. I still have no idea how it will turn out.

It was a full-circle moment yesterday. My husband is trying to write a computer program and is frustrated with it. I’m absolutely useless in this area, so I just tried to be supportive and stay out of the way with my mouth shut. :0) When he was grousing about it, I finally suggested that he chat with our son about it. (My husband started when our son was very little, teaching him about computers, programming, logic and stuff. Our son is now living across the world from us, happy as a clam, with clients in the U.S. for his computer acumen.)

I looked on our chat program, as I do every morning, to see if our son left any messages. There was a huge, long, back and forth with our son trying to help my husband with the program. Full circle. :0)

My husband ordered some kind of smart bulb recently to add to our home security system. It arrived and my husband tried to install it. It is meant to partner with your phone, and phones are a challenge for my husband these days. After lots of flailing around, asking me to come help, lots of bad words, etc., he has decided to return the bulb. Of COURSE he doesn’t remember when he ordered it, has no email about it, no order number, no paperwork. I managed to find a return address for the company and a returns number to call, but I’ll have to wait until Monday to get the required RMA# – IF – they can figure out the order number from our address…

We’re having leftovers tonight, but I found a low carb recipe for “Keto Cheeseburger Casserole” that sounds good. I’m planning to make it tomorrow night and will share the URL for it with you if it’s good. (My husband says my doing it this way is, “try it on the dog” behavior.) So be it. “Sit. Stay. Eat. WOOF!” :0)

I hope that your weather is nicer than mine and that you’re able to get outside and enjoy the day.
