Did more bookkeeping. Found a $5000 error from yesterday (typo – misreading number – handwritten 3 vs 8). That’s why I stopped last night and left it for today. Sometimes it just helps to walk away and come back again. When I worked in a CPA frm we would ask the person next to us and they often found the error right away. When it is just me, the walk away method works almost the same way. Then I worked on more bookkeeping. Started getting things ready for Christmas cards to our church’s missionaries. Used the treadmill. Refilled the squirrel… Read more »

I hope you find the error today. I do the walk away too when I can’t solve a problem. It does work.
Nice of you to watch the dogs for your SIL and DIL. I see some walks in your future.

SonI actually found that I had a problem on Friday night, and then Saturday I found the solution. Guess I didn’t word that very well.

Walking away is a good plan; it’s always been my go-to in solving issues 😉

Good evening….DH worked on my mom’s furnace and got it going…we walked the dogs and I took a nice long walk, was in the 50s…DH left for his rentals and i’m doing laundry now…we had the best breakfast sandwiches today…mine was bacon, egg, cheese on a biscuit (a big homemade biscuit, not the fast food kind)..came with these little tater tots..I got a chai tea also. I’m not even hungry now, hours later, might make some tea though, it’s a bit chilly in here.

I love big breakfasts that last all day. However, I probably eat the wrong things when I go out for those.

Good morning Lovely Owl People 💖 Another gloomy day, 3 in a row is a lot for us, more showers, we might get to 50, but i don’t think so. Should make a run to recycle today. Took Chuck to lunch yesterday for his b-day; now on to Thanksgiving 🙄 We’ve had Cornish hens the last couple years, but i really like/missed turkey so i had Chuck get as small a one as possible, i think it’s about 12-lbs. i’ll freeze meal-size packets for later; they won’t eat it, but that’s just more for me 😋 We eat the legs/and… Read more »

I like the wreath idea. 🎄 We don’t like colored lights as much, so glad you didn’t suggest that. 😉 No one else here really likes turkey so we got a Costco turkey breast – about 4 pounds. Not so many leftovers that way. The others would prefer dark meat, but since they wouldn’t really enjoy the leftovers anyway, I get the breast which I prefer. I used to be able to find small turkey white and dark meat formed into a loaf type shape, but not recently. DD found some gluten-free stuffing, so I get stuffing that I am… Read more »

I love the turkey breast white meat.. for sandwiches… I haven’t seen white/dark loaf in a long time….we all like the dishes for Thanksgiving.. my family loves the grn bean casserole.. so always make a big dish of that…but we won’t be together this year until Xmas..

I like the white meat also.
Pam, guess you know I just can’t resist kids, lol…also it’s so nice to actually see kids out looking for jobs…pretty young though but they did ok. I was thinking maybe DS ate some undercooked or raw food? or drank bad water? he’s not that careful, you’d think he would be by now.

Good morning friends ♥ A foggy gloomy start for the day. Showers with a high of 54.
Visiting nurse yesterday….my BP is a little high and gained two pounds this week. Probably from snacking on green grapes daily and a few cheats here and there…..like the chicken pie. 🙄Have to get back on track before the Thanksgiving meal. I hate weighing myself each morning….the worst part of my day…..but gotta do it.
Have a nice day dear friends.🍂 Take care ♥

It must be discouraging to find these things out, but at least then you can do something about it. ((HUGS))🙏

Worked on bookkeeping. Met with an arborist about some alders we want taken down and got a quote. Did a load of sheets and blanket laundry and folded. Went to the post office in the next town and then grocery shopping. Did some more bookkeeping. Then watched Sherriff Country, Fire Country, and Boston Blue. Sorted through 5 more boxes of old tax files. Less to shred now, because we are getting closer to the present and less of these clients have left or passed away. But I am almost done with this part of the task of moving all tax… Read more »

I started shredding some papers but got so tired of doing it..going to wait now until our bank has their next “shredding day” in the spring sometime.

I have my own shredder, but I have shredded about 10 to 15 bankers boxes of tax return files, and I don’t want to wear out my shredder (plus it would be very slow), so I take them to Office Depot and pay for it to be done. I have too much to take to a local free shredding day.

Oh no! Hope he takes it easy – health is more important. International travel and different climates can be hard on the body.

yes, and I’m thinking he’s not always that careful about what he eats and drinks in other countries..
