Ta-das and To-dos Tuesday

[CathyS]

Oh, the to-do's and ta-da's...

Had the mammo. Feeling bruised and abused. Happy it's done. Had SHEs on my mind while I was in there. I thought I knew who I was thinking about, but it tuned out to be someone else, which is more than ok (OKay?) with me.

Also made sure all the money is in the bank to cover what needs covering until Dec. 10.

Dropped off 3 bags to Bible store. My trunk is now empty.

Went to W alm art and picked up a few things.

Dentist office called and they have a cancellation for tomorrow, so I have another filling to get looked after.

Cathy: You can virtually bring us along whenever you need company while doing something unpleasant! I'm constantly 'traveling' with the SHEs and thinking about what I'm going to tell y'all about when I get back to my keyboard. It makes life less lonely.

Back from dinner. We ate with the other attendees (except one) and had a nice time chatting. One of the attendees annoys dh and is why he didn't want to come to this meeting. I can see why. But another is our good friend from Australia who we've traveled with for years so I love every minute I spend with him. He's on our flight to Washington on Saturday (coincidentally) and so he's coming with us on Friday and we'll have an adventure because we always have adventures when we are with him. We are thinking of driving to Taos which is in exactly the wrong direction (and farther into the mountains so higher elevation.)

Poor dh isn't feeling well tonight so we'll hopefully have an early night. He is finding the meetings really difficult. My lunch hadn't settled too well so I only had a salad with chicken and even then, only ate half and the rest is in the fridge. Dh was saying as he carried it home that it feels like a full serving and it looks like one too but I scraped it from my plate myself so know it isn't. Apparently

I've walked over 12K steps today. Will do a fair bit tomorrow as well.

The laundry isn't dry yet so I can't put it away until morning. Fortunately, it isn't in the way.

Our room was never made up today so I had to call down for more towels. I don't mind the sheets being changed only every 3 or 4 days but I do want fresh towels each day. It is a luxury that makes travel special. When we stay in apartments I really miss the daily towel changes. On the ship it is twice daily, which feels excessive, but once a day is lovely.

Doing a quick CUOP tonight on this Ta-Da & To-Do Tuesday!

TA-DA:
- s2s, dressed, fixed hair/earrings/ring, moisturizer and EYEBROWS!
- Stripped the bed, put the sheets into the washer on a 2-minute timer to begin washing just as we came back in the door.
- Let a light and TV on with security system, for safety and no worrying needs while out.
- Read devos, prayed, wrote in journals
- Had a great therapy appt. and learned on Medicaid, I'll possibly be able to still see her once I pick out a carrier to oversee my Medicaid. Therapist bills the carrier and I'll pay $0. I hope it works out that way.
- I helped put away groceries.
- I sang a Josh Groban song on the car radio.
- I complimented 2 people on their outfits today, which both happened to be wearing silver necklaces, black and silver clothes. So attractive on both of them!
- I saw a sport show after lunch w/DH.
- Had supplements with lunch, then coffee.
- Wrote a website down to look up later. (Probably tomorrow.)
- Got diet cranberry juice and 2 iced tea Snapples out of the garage fridge for the kitchen.
- Decided to do only 1 more story by Friday, rather than 3. Thinking quality, not quantity.
- Logged my deposit from work.
- Rewrote my day runner to do's up through Thanksgiving.
- Decided with DH that we're running low on postage stamps, my pen pals don't "need" immediate weekly replies, so they'll get notes inside their Christmas cards, which I'll work on nearer to and after Thanksgiving to go out Dec. 2. The slower I respond to pen pals, the more money we'll save, the more time I'll have for Christmas crochet, catching up on my reading, cleaning, and exercise.
- I did more journal-writing and worked on my calendar, too.
- I put in an order for meds from 2 doctors.
- I took the pharmacy envelopes, rubber-banded them together, took order forms and banded them, too, and did the same with pharmacy receipts. I got rid of receipts, drug info, etc.. from drugs I've stopped taking because of allergies, etc...
- I read on "When Bad Things Happen to Good People," too.
- I fed my kitty cat some treats.
- I emptied my tote from today and packed my purse.
- I confirmed another appt. for later this week.
- I sorted mail and made a donation to a charity.
- We made the bed fresh together.
WHEW!

TO DO:
- Bedtime meds after flossing, gown, set dawn simulator
- Write a to do list for tomorrow, to keep on track with other routine things to do, such as exercise, etc..
- Crochet on grson-2.5's afghan.
- Work on my calendar.
- Check my day runner again.
- Work on a list for a doctor later this week.
- Read, stretching, and some yoga moves before bed.

I almost didn't post my ta-da list because there were so many and they made me ta-tired.

Good Luck, (((OKay))). Will cross my fingers and pray for you and your dfamily, too.

MT, That's a GR8 idea you had for (((Dee))) to tell invading smokers, too.
