I am jumping in! Y'all may think I am crazy, but I have been spending some time with ChatGPT, and last night he/it gave me some suggestions re: how to get my day started a little better, and feel better about myself. I'll share those thoughts later -- I want to type some things up to remember.
DGD woke me up around 9:00 a.m. and we went out for breakfast. Post office... poster is still a no-show.
As soon as we ate, she was ready to go home. She is so excited about going bowling and eating at one of her favorite places today. She told me last night that she couldn't sleep because she was so excited.
I love to see her like this.
Since taking her home I have --
* made out Wmart order (have to pick it up in an hour or so)
* paid a bill (that I will mail when I go to Wmart)
* wrote out a receipt for the renter (will drop that off at his house)
* made out deposit slip (will stop at the bank)
* folded the towels and underwear, put away
* talked to dmom
* took most of the flat stuff off the Christmas tree
(and decided I need to put away the misc that goes in boxes before I really start on the tree, I don't want boxes EVERYWHERE.)
* straightened out the bed (after dgd has slept in it, it looks like a bunch of wild beasts had a fight overnight)
* did my "morning" stretches
* s2s -- still need to put on some make-up
* done Bible reading and prayer time -- I am feeling especially thankful today, for lots of things
(nothing unusual going on, just counting my blessings)
I could use a More Time Old People calendar with more stickers for doctors’ appointments!
That is true, Mystery!!!
(((Twins))) I hope you get some relief soon. I think my friend with that condition finally had surgery. I haven't really heard from her as to how successful and whether she would recommend it or not.
I'm horrible with follow-through also. I even have trouble keeping up with my own checklists! I have a sheet on Excel that covers my day, and I can use it for a month, using different colored ink for each week... and it makes me feel
so good to see a bunch of check marks... and I STILL can't keep up with it!!!
I write in my Grief SHare journal when I'm having a rough day. I should really try to write in it when I'm having a GOOD day.
However, according to ChatGPT, it is no surprise that I'm still having rough days and that I am tired a lot of the time.
I also want to plant some flowers this year -- I've had some seed for a long while, and it may be no good by now, but I'd like to put some flowers in pots on the porch and/or patio. Seed came in the mail, just a variety of flowers -- marigolds, daisies, etc.
WTG, Cathy!
(((Rose)))
Do I have to start plants indoors? Can I just plant them outside when the weather warms up?
Waving good morning to all -- I mean, good afternoon!
OH -- Harriet -- did your ddolder watch the Georgia/Ole Miss game? I'm not too concerned with either team, but the last 30 seconds were
WOW
Really, the last SECOND. Not as exciting as the Kick Six second we had some years ago against Alabama, but still -- WOW.
I must tell my dmom to look for that to be re-broadcast. And I was happy that * spoiler alert * Ole Miss won. They've been through a lot with the coaching situation and everything, plus I'm sure they were the underdogs against Georgia. In fact, I would bet that most of our SEC She's were happy to see Georgia get beat, LOL. They are probably almost as hated as Alabama. (Except IN the state of Alabama, the Crimson Tide is usually cited as the most hated team in the nation, LOL.)
trying to get in my way! (But maybe someone else wants to know this?)
So we're going. As I said I feel coerced but I did agree to go. He and dh always want to continue the evening at their house, which is close, and when I get there I get her chatter nonstop while the two dhs talk.
