Just A Quiet Day Here Today

February 24, 2026 10:49am CST
Happy Tuesday Everyone! the sun is shining and we can only hope it melts some of that white stuff covering the ground. I'm just hoping that March doesn't take a page from the February playbook and continue this miserable winter. Today feels like Monday because my daughter was off yesterday. Today she's back to work and we're back in our routine. I got some things done this morning that needed doing so I can relax this afternoon and work on my crocheting project. I also took pictures of a few random skeins of yarn that I don't need and want to sell. Sometimes I have a project in mind and over buy the yarn I think I'll need. So, if I can sell these random ones I can buy new ones Today is my granddaughters birthday so I'll call her shortly when she takes her lunch break. I'm sure we'll laugh again how I wished her a happy birthday last week when I was confused about the date. Tonight we're having meatloaf and mashed potatoes with a veggie. I'm going to make enough so we have leftovers for sandwiches. Can't say there's anything exciting going on here. I'm happy for a quiet day

I hope your granddaughter has a fantastic birthday. It must have been nice to have your daughter to yourself yesterday. Not much is going on here today. I’m trying to figure out what is for lunch, but I hate to have soup again.

@Marilynda1225 Oh great, a girl’s night! That will be a lot of fun. I love meatloaf. My sister makes a really good one.

@AmbiePam my mom made the best meatloaf in our family and even though I have her recipe I can never get it as good. Mine is okay but I can't help but compare it to hers every time I make it, If you lived closer you could be part of our Tues night girls club

@Marilynda1225 It was sunny this morning, but cloudy and drab by about 1 PM, and a bit cooler than they said it would be so not very nice. I got cold doing my steps.

Doesn't look like the sun will last long but it was nice seeing it today.

@snowy22315 at least you were able to get out and do your steps. Tomorrow looks like we might wake up to a coating or an inch of snow

Happy birthday to your granddaughter. I couldn't see to drive a few days ago on Pretty's birthday so, if I can see later today, we'll go out and buy some cake for her. (I can't see well enough right now to drive. *shrug* That's okay since she's asleep anyway.) If we can, we also have a couple of errands to run later, too. Nothing else happening here today.

Happy Birthday to Pretty (a little late) Does she have a favorite cake? Hope you can see better and was able to get out and run those errands.

@Marilynda1225 Thank you. I'll tell her you said so. She prefers cheesecake. Nope. We didn't get the errands done today.

Good luck selling your yarn. Where do you sell them? And another happy birthday to your granddaughter from you Your dinner sounds delicious and nothing, except chili, tastes better the next day.

Happy Birthday to your granddaughter. Days without drama are OK in my book.

Happy birthday to your granddaughter. Hope she has a great day. Not much going on here either. Working from home and then spending some time with my kids. I am definitely looking forward to winter being over though.

I think the majority of us have had "enough" winter. Fingers crossed we get to enjoy spring and won't be complaining about it being too hot and humid right off the bat. Being able to work from home certainly is a big advantage. Hope you day went well

Yarn is so expensive nowadays but you can't afford to run out halfway either.

Something we both had today Mashed Potatoes. How great is that. You thought it was your grand daughters birthday last week, I remembered that. Tuesday did indeed feel like Monday here too. But hey it's Wednesday here now, almost the weekend
