Thursday Thread

[blessedw2]

the chimes are ringing outside.
my home: TRUTH Needs a put away, a morning routine, laundry routine, finish the paper routine from yesterday, garden routine
I did errands yesterday and this morning. and my body is working slowly..... turtle slow

Slow and steady wins the race,
so don’t you worry about your pace.
Don’t you fret if they rush past
because it’s all a blur when you run that fast.
It doesn’t matter if you’re behind,
step by step, just enjoy the ride.
After all, who said the winner had to be the one that finished first.
So be immersed
in all the scenery and views along the way.
Take your time, I promise you, it will all turn out okay

shaking my brain out - shaking the body out
not wanting to shake the sillies out
grab the timer.

Okay I can see I am overthinking -
take one thing and one thing only and do it.
kitchen first.
I need to
1 - turn on dw
2 -empty utensil thingy
3. counters
4. stove top
5. put away

I have 2 old camping propane 1 lb. tanks and I know there is gas left in them. Is there a safe way of emptying the tank. no one in 50 miles will take them.

I would think they would be treated similar to aerosol cans. We would just throw them into the trash. I suspect different parts of the world deal differently with these type things.

[blessedw2]

The sanitary company said that they are considered dangerous waste for them as they will blow up in the truck???
they still have gas in them.

thank you d lady!

[Harmony]

Blessed, did the sanitary company have any idea for you what to do with them? There are several times a year ours picks up hazardous waste and we have to put a red tag on them and set by the road.

Booksaver, so glad to hear your roof is getting fixed. Yay for that company coming through for you.

Well it's raining. Figured it would rain, as I just washed the car and the dump truck. Took lots of scrubbing and then washing / rinsing. I used a rainx product that is supposed to leave a wax finish on it. I would have pulled it into the garage after I finished, but guy from church came by with long van and parked directly in the back of the driveway so I couldn't get out. He brought a folding chair rack for DH to fix.

I don't suppose the rain will hurt the car much, but it is being covered again in love bugs sitting outside. Maybe since they're not smashing onto them like when we drive they'll just slide off? I can hope....

Need to S2S I am very wet and dirty. Going to a function at church tonight with 2 girlfriends. It's a dessert only thing with a speaker for Mother's Day. They're using it for a fundraiser for unwed mothers organization in town. I have to stop and get a small gift to give also.

Rain should start here soon, too. But I knew that before sending dh through the car wash. He's on his way home now.

I'm struggling but there is progress. I have been able to check off payroll entry but nothing else. I ended up spending an hour trying to register the software to get the payroll option, only to learn I don't have it. Now I'm really not sure why I upgraded for over $500. I don't need the payroll system, I had a total of 9 entries this year in the payroll system!

In the meantime, I had to take time off this task to put in the order to the carpet. So I'm waiting now for a phone call from the salesman to get my final total and my credit card number. We've ordered 2 new area rugs. In blue (base colour) so now my antique hand needlepoint dining chairs will match the carpet (the old carpet was bought when I owned the table, but had not yet inherited its chairs, so I picked green to match my china.)

Ds was here and never once commented on the carpet being in the living room right now. I'm hoping I can have dd over tomorrow because I'm curious if she'll notice! It does work well. I'm not sure if dh will let me toss the old carpet. There's certainly room for it in our bedroom. And the colour would work but the point of getting a new carpet is I'm tired of this pattern after 25 years!

It's also raining here! Started about an hour ago maybe? It's coming down pretty good and also breezy.

bw2, I had a genealogy spark! I've been working most of the afternoon on it, but need to break and finish a.m. routine and my "top five." Plan is to work 45 min at :30 after the hour, and then break. I think I planned for 30 min total of garage decluttering and paper taming, so I probably won't get that done, but perhaps getting my genealogy mojo going is worth it.

From this a.m.:

-body work (BTW, I feel much better than I did last week, not as achy!)
-zinnia seeds into the ground Done, just in time for the rain!
-stretch, 7K steps, ck BP - I have 4800 steps so I'm on my for the step count, need to do the other two
-Document work for portfolio - 1 hr Done, I worked on something else but that's fine...
-15 min in garage, 15 min paper taming

[CathyS]

Pouring rain here. So glad I got all my errands done for the week! Grass hasn't gotten cut, but that can be done tomorrow or Sat. or Sun.

We had a bucket of wings and a rotisserie chicken from C ostco for supper. I went to the smaller one today. There was a line up to get into the line ups. Of course there was also a double line up to get out of the store and then another one to get out of the parking lot. They are going to build another huge one down near the outlet mall sometime in the next couple of years.

I will be back - just wanted to say hi.
hi d harmony d cathy, d twins, d kathryn, d lady, d everyone!

I am slowing down even further... I will take the spark you had for the genealogy work d twins (if you are sharing )
d harmony - no, the company didn't have a solution. I just can't toss it in the trash - so this will be interesting.
