We should have a kitchen again in about six weeks.

Riiiight. Suuuuuuuure you will. If they told you two weeks, sure, maybe six. If they told you six, plan on 12 or 16.

Hitch’s comment matches my brother’s experience a year ago. Just keep on being patient, and you’ll enjoy the results, whenever they finish!

Playing another round of "I'm sure it's acid reflux, but let's do a Covid test to be sure".

Considering how bad my acid reflux is I'm not surprised I have a sore throat, it's the worst in a long while. So I'll need to be better with what I eat and drink (try to avoid greasy things and carbonated drinks for now). And I'll need to get out the stronger antacid meds again. I've also ordered some fresh mint and ginger (for making tea), it helps calm things down.

Looks like the test is negative again. No surprise because it's a sore throat no throat medicine works on. But it also means chances are that tomorrow the sore throat will be (mostly) gone.

I've just added a couple of things to the vacation pile.

Before I pack properly a pile of things I'm afraid I'll forget to pack appears somewhere in my room. Today's additions are tablets for the dishwasher and a jar of pesto. Other things are; birdfeed, my necklight for cross stitching (lighting in those vacation cottages is usually not good) and a soap tray.

I just got back from my first after-dinner walk of 2023. It’s 50° out there! When it hit -15° only 11 days ago! I know it’s going to get cold again, but how I’m enjoying the temperatures this week. (And I know this isn’t a good thing.)

here - it was 69 F and daylight - the lizards are out sunning themselves - and we are having pollen alerts - in February

It was dark here, being both east and north. But I could see some stars, which is unusual given all the light pollution in this university town. It was good. 69° though, I can’t even imagine. I’d have to break out my shorts.

Trying to get myself to start my Sunday chores of cleaning and laundry. After two weeks of not having to do that (my father did it when I was on vacation two weeks ago and at my sister's last week) it's difficult to motivate myself. OTOH, the sooner I start, the sooner I'm done.

Contemplating which route to take for this mornings 'long walk' which Ipull in whenever I can manage. Have more or less decided on a riverside walk today!

Have fun!
After chores this morning I'll also take a walk. My back has been acting up these last couple of days and walking usually helps.

Same here - the slight rotation from swinging my arms seems to help my spine get back into proper alignment.

Getting ready to go to B&N for my stitch group. Then a grocery run.

Last week I got a new 8TB external HDD, since my 2TB was both getting full and is now over 5 years old.

So I'm now copying everything. I'm doing a little bit every day, reorganizing as I'm going, since some folders have become a bit of a mess.
