Thursday thriving

[Harriet]

happy ironing.

I went out and made a deposit, got gasoline, and picked up some groceries from WF.

We get A T T "Giga Power" at end of month. Ds called them and discovered they were finally taking appts, got an appt for 30th, and called me fast, asking for HRH. He was absolutely dead-pan on the phone, which I should have realized could mean something exciting, since he tends to ... c-a-l-m ... d-o-w-n ... at those times. HRH got an appt for 8:00 a.m. the 31st. HRH has been waiting a long time for faster internet. His friends in big city consider it ordinary by now. He's funny - he dropped everything he was doing, some of it literally. He says, "I guess I got a little excited."

Laughing at the ironing comment. Ironing is on my todo list for today as well!

On the treadmill now. Not going fast but my ankle is slowly letting go of the pain.

MF wrote me with an announcement for Sunday so I started the physical document I'll use. Getting the service and sermon finished tonight is also on my todo list.

Not everything on that list is going to get done! I'm too tired to stay up that late!!!

Thursday
I had day confusion, as in , what day is for what, and what day it was. What I thought was not.
After waiting half the day for something which was due today, not yesterday Thursday, I finally went to bed.
My less than 3 hours sleep the prev night plus short changing myself on other nights bed rest had caught up with me.
Woke enough by 6pm to get up and got dinner.
Worked out what day it was and remembered Lenten studies. @7pm. got there.

Friday.

go to panel beater for a quote to see if its an ins job or not. My 19yo car may have a low value, so crossing my fingers. I think I can't think of that today.

LadyM, I used to sometimes pull the car over and start reading if the activity in the back seats warranted. My kids hated it.

Not sure I am thriving, that seems a level above where I am these days. But I am keeping on.

My big accomplishment today was that I darned holes in a huge pile of work socks. I asked DH what was going on that so many of his socks went holey so quickly. He says he was wearing a pair of shoes that had a hole in the toe. I don't know what that had to do with it but apparently it did. There are a few more to go. I will keep an eye on these socks and see how long the darns last. If it isn't long, I won't do it any more.

I've kept up with the desk chores and made dinner and did dishes, folded laundry.

And it's been a long time since I've ironed anything. I used to really enjoy doing that and my clothes looked crisp and nice all the time. Even everyday tees. There are a couple of DH's shirts I have to iron, but that's about it these days. I put my clothes (except underwear, socks, pj's) in the dryer for about 2 minutes and then hang them. The wrinkles all seem to fall out that way.

Guess it's a good thing I don't have little kids any more. I don't think I could keep up, especially with consistent discipline!

Hope everybody has a good night's sleep.

OOOOh, I like that one. I'd pull over but it never occurred to me to do something other than just sit there. I could have been even more intimidating by not paying attention to them. I'd try to ignore them but sometimes I couldn't manage it.

Service is finished. Still have the sermon to finish (it is about 90% done) but I'm not sure my heads there tonight. I might wait until the morning. Water is consumed, the fact that I have to take a bathroom break now confirms that! Step count will be fine if I remember to pace while brushing teeth.

I've been working on email as well. I'm now back waiting for a reply from someone before I can send out an email.
