Good morning, and happy Wednesday!

[mrs.jacinthe]

What's going on with you? Anything exciting planned for the upcoming weekend?

Not much going on here. Still working like crazy. We're planning on going to a yarn (knitting, mostly, but R wants to learn to dye) convention. That's right, my engineer spouse deliberately chose to attend a yarn convention. :eek:

And in further news, I've got a gala coming up next month that may require red carpet attire (whatever that means) and I have to figure out how to hide a cardiac event monitor under a formal dress. Ugh.

I'm currently in Fort Myers beach where it is 70 and raining, meanwhile in Detroit it is 65 and sunny. WTF

Good thing is we are getting our hardwood floors refinished while we are gone. Just downstairs and my DD2's bedroom. Going to do rest of upstairs in June. I'm so excited to see them. I've regretted not refinishing them since the day we moved in.

Friday is the opening party for the record pressing plant and I have no idea what I'm going to wear OR if I'm even going to be able to get upstairs to get shoes and a dress because of the floor work. Hoping they are done by then. mrs.jacinthe , I get you on the red carpet attire stress. The store opening party was "formal" and it was hard to decide what to wear without having the think of a monitor. I ended up dropping $$$ on a dress that I LOVE, but wonder if I ever have an occasion to wear again. Think you could hide the monitor on your lowerback? How are you feeling BTW?

We are going to disney world tomorrow. Ugh. The kids are going to love it, but I'd so much rather just be on the beach!

I'm getting OK at the moment. No major events in the last week or so, so that's good.

As far as hiding it goes, I'm thinking of getting a dress with a blousy top and taping it thoroughly somewhere, but that's disappointing, because I look best in fitted formal wear, generally speaking. I think, as soon as I know more details about where the leads go and how many there will be and how big the box is, I will call RTR and talk to a stylist. My other option is to make an appointment at the SF RTR store and just go try things on until I find something. Sigh.

This weekend we enter the realm of TWO children with extra curricular routines.

It's been in the 50s/60s since Saturday. I fluctuate between enjoying the weather and despair that our planet is doomed. I have DAFFODILS coming up. In FEBRUARY. IN WISCONSIN.

Going to try to get some painting started this weekend. The finish work on the bathroom won't be finished until next Monday eve, so I'm disappointed about that. I really want to take a bath, but I can't if there is not caulking between the tub and the floor. The floor glue is water soluble according to the handyman, so I'm not taking chances with splashes.

The weather is AMAZING this week/weekend.

We spent all weekend outside and have been outside as much as possible. It's going to be so sad when it gets cold again this weekend.

I think we are going to finish putting our courtyard fence back up. We had to remove part of it when we had the office built last summer and getting it back up just hasn't been a priority. I think DH wants to get it closed up before we go away next week. We are going to AZ to visit my mom for a few days. She isn't doing well, and they are moving her to a different assisted living place. Hopefully that will happen before we get there, although we might be able to help more if it happens while we are in town.

Other than that, we are probably just going to feel guilty about having to put the dogs in the kennel at the vet's office while we are gone, and DH will spend the weekend spoiling them while I try to figure out what clothes to pack for myself. He is on his own in the packing department. ;p

mrs.jacinthe, I have seen where women with different types of medical devices disguise them by carrying them in a pretty evening bag with a shoulder strap, in pockets, or even taped to their body (maybe their thigh?) them under a full skirt. Maybe something like that would work for you.

Nothing much going on here by me. I just put up bookshelves in my home office so now can go get the books from my house. And I'm baking bread (sourdough) today. A few guys are here working on the exterior of the house as well as the garage (interior).
