Got dressed 2 bare-feet.
Happy with my progress yesterday. I still have one wheel burrow to find a parking spot for at some point today.
Sheets are in the wash & then to the dryer and are done I suspect.
Mixed up dog treats like edible cookie dough but not sweet corn it's the base this time.

Bs was great this morning.
I'm feeling better yea.
It's nice to have more peace in the neighborhood now.

Journaling happened
moved wheel burrow to see if I needed a coat or a sweater before walk sweater today.
dd called and I think she will take the patio chairs that I do not use if so I'll count that for decluttering progress.
I did a round in the paint room today.
Dumped the trash.
Dishes are done and put away counter spiff happened.

Part of me doesn't want to go to mom's for her meds but will.
I will order her lunch but I would rather she come here and be busy instead of sitting at her house. I shall see what she feels like.

home again.
Mom has had her meds - I opened her shades to half way so that she gets up. She is cheerful - lol it's like having a teenager wanting to sleep in; at least she is awake.
Her breakfast is on the counter for her to heat up - I hope she heats it up. I had hoped I could get her out of bed but I couldn't wait any longer.

One change we have to make is that we make sure she puts her night gown on when we bring her back home for her meds. She woke up with her sweater and top on. I am figuring on 2 hours a day; one for morning/one for night time prep for mom. It will have to part of my routine.

We were going to go apple picking but dd younger is having problems with her discs again.

Well, it's time to get going - it is a new day!
almost a new afternoon!

-----------------------------------------
I have decided to do dailies but I will make dinner earlier. I was exhausted by 4 pm and ordered dinner instead of making it $$ expensive for all of us.

What's the next right thing: put away round robin!!!

Blessed - Thank you for the start today.

I am in the 6th hour of my day, and it has progressed smoothly. I have finished 57% of my daily to-do's.

We couldn't get our new battery powered chainsaw to work right so we took it to back to Ace. They have Stihl trained person to do repairs and give instructions. We could have read the manual, but it seems quicker and easier to get hands-on information and instructions. We appreciate the kind and through explanations. DH is trimming tree limbs and cutting them up to be burned in my garden fire-pit (after the burn ban is lifted).

While in town I noticed a local walk-in hair salon was not busy. With no planning I walked in and got about a foot of hair cut off. Maybe not a foot of hair. It was midway down my back and now it is shoulder length. It will take some getting used to but I think I like this length.

[blessedw2]

I love to hear about your day d lady - especially when it has gone smoothly for you!
Hope the battery operated chainsaw works!
how wonderful that you were able to get a nice trim this morning - your hair looks lovely!
It took my older daughter a bit to get used to a little shorter length. She has beautiful and thick long dark brown hair.

ok I ordered groceries - I would rather not but d mom needs food-fruit, cheese, bread in her fridge, (apples especially). problem is that I never know if she will not notice that it is there.

dd younger will get me the few things are local store doesn't offer on line.
dd is playing with dogs - thank goodness!!! They have lots of energy

I saw my neighbor walking her grand dog and wished her a happy Rosh Hashanah! Such a lovely person - good soul!
Her family will be over tonight.

okay back to reality!!!

You will laugh with me I messed up the before dr. visits from so had to put to draw arrows.
They had no spot for step count I put that on there any way! And my steps count weekly goals and days in a row.
I put a sticker on that too! LOL!

Okay I have been thinking about moving the patio chairs next but have not done that.
Also thinking about getting a used wood chipper for all these branches LOL! JK.
I did clean off the work station on the patio.
It's lunch time not hungry no clue for what that is cottages cheese & v-8 . Could skip it and reduce calories.

Dd called and was in 'a mood' I helped her get a plan for her day a very short Convo.
the 3 worst things first and clean up bag up leaves to go bye bye.

I looked for a fence pipe unsuccessfully.
I thought I tucked it some where not obvious.

Just getting here...

LadyM...a couple of weeks ago I did the same thing. Cut 5 inches off my hair and it is now just a tad past my shoulders. As long as I can still pull it back in a low pony tail or a bun, I am good.

Been busy most of the day. Laundry day here.. bed stripped, changed and sheets in the washer. Darks done and put away. Whites in the dryer and towels are in the washer.

Einstein is working. He's on his second round. His battery only allows him to do half my house so when he gets tired he tells me he's going home! once there he empties himself out and recharges. Once that is done...takes about 1.5 hours...he's on his merry way.

Took care of the mold in Sweeties shower. Later I will clean all the counters and commode, although I do this most days. Kitchen is done. It had a smell to it and I discovered I had never turned on my dishwasher two nights ago. Its at work as well.

Next up is to pay my bills and then head to Walgreens and the grocery store. Sweeties prescriptions are ready and I need to pick up a few other things from the grocery store.

Thankfully I've heard from two other of my friends who live in NC. One had to drive an hour to Charlotte to pick up basic supplies for herself and a few friends. My other friend is safe. She knows I lived and spent time in and around her area and all she could say to me is...You don't want to be here!

Waving to y'all.

[blessedw2]
