Hello flock, very quiet day after being up a lot last night and a bit off today…system is not happy yet, so bean soup, last night was a bad idea. Did not budge until after 12. So DH went to Phx alone for last of Xmas stuff they finally got shipment of and his sunflower seed bread.would you believe a shortage of seeds? So plain rye. Safeway had only three bottles of maple syrup yesterday..,a Canadian shortage this year, and growing up near there we only use pure syrup. I woke up about an hour after he left having finally gone to sleep at 8.
Managed to get out in sunshine to deadhead some flowers and cut the bean pods off the AZ yellow bells shrub, so Micki was happy
dinner Is partly made before I run out of get and go. Did the mushrooms and chard amd seasoning for the sauce so I only need to sauté chicken and add dairy later. www.eatingwell.com/recipe/7933679/creamy-skillet-chicken-with-spinach-mushrooms/
Made the pear bistro little salads with pecans and blue cheese. Cleaned up kitchen..so it should be easy later.
I got a nice hardback cookbooks couple weeks ago called ADvent with all color pictures and recipes for German stuff, mainly cookies and pastry. DH surprised me with another by her (Anja Dunk) called Strudel, Noodles, and Dumplings: The new taste of German cooking, which I am about to finally read. It has all sorts of stuff arranged by different meal ideas, and times of day and comfort food.

Hello everyone
Today I actually drove my car. Have not driven for about 6 weeks. It went just fine. Enjoyed being out and about. Went to the bank and post office. Was shocked the post office only had 2 people and the bank had 3 people in line ahead of me. I sure picked a good day and time to go.
Dustin the robot did all the rooms today. Yay. It’s now mapped out. Not running it again until Thursday. Definitely keeping it. My back is very happy.
Tonight going to bed early and watching tv. Want to catch up on a couple of shows.
Tomorrow is WW weigh in at the studio. Under goal weight so not a problem. Thank goodness.
Lin- ohhhh beans are hard for me to eat. Not sure why but the refried beans at our favorite Mexican restaurant agree with me. Your whole dinner tonight except the chicken would make my tummy mad.

Hello Owls. Finally managed to get some Christmas decorations put up. Not a lot but enough. Had a manicure at noon. Not really needed yet but I was so sick of the color I had. Now my nails are a pretty wine color. Just before I left for my appt. my son sent a message wondering if I could pick him up at a car dealer. Got there a few min late but it was about a half hour away so he was ok. Took me out for lunch after I picked him up. Had a chicken sandwich with different lettuces, tomatoes, avocado, some kind of cheese and a few other things. Very good but hard to eat.
Didn't do much of anything this afternoon. Had an apple for supper. Not hungry after that big lunch.
Mar, glad you're liking your robot vacuum. I've heard good and bad things about them. DD has one and she likes it but my sister in law doesn't care for hers. Nothing else happening here.
Have a good night. bettyj

Betty- that’s nice you did get some Christmas decorating done.
My friends that have the less expensive vacuum robots are not as happy as the people I know that have the one we bought. This one empties its self into a larger container. So no daily emptying by hand. Those with pets that shed obviously need to empty the bigger container more often than those not having a pet. Easy to empty. I have not had to empty it yet. Also has mapping and zones. You can do whole house or pick a rooms you want to do. So a quick kitchen cleaning can be done without whole house. You remotely control it from your cell phone. So when not home can start or stop it. There is no reason to touch it. When finished it returns to it docking station to charge up and stays there until scheduled or needed to clean. It’s amazing.
There is an even more expensive one that mops and vacuums. It’s also made by Shark. It’s around $800.00. Wow! Definitely not springing for that one but tempting. Lol lol
