Good morning! Late with getting on my way to Walfarts and Melindochka knows getting there past 7:30 is a crazy idea. But what to do, I overslept.

Happy Sunday. ALready folded all the laundry and completely cleaned the kitchen. Dh is showering and then heading to the store for some stuff for today and the next few days. He took a few days vacation so he's off till Friday. 2 of those days are holidays so he's only using 2 days of leave.

I have to work tomorrow but hopefully it'll be quiet. Then I'm off Tuesday. Then I start on Wed with my big pay cut. Oh well, at least it's something.

Sounds good. We're supposed to get rain and it's 19 degrees. WHT? I guess it's supposed to warm up to the 30s.

Today's meal plan is ham, potatoes, creamed spinach, asparagus, rye bread and blueberry pie for dessert. Dh is picking something up for an appetizer.

[debkeversole]
