What did you accomplish today?

[Femmewench]

Nope, not crazy just determined to stay independent and active. :)

With your mom spotting for you? That's close to crazy. Glad she didn't need to make that call for help.

Even with 2 new knees you'd never get me up a 20' ladder. Too high :::shudder:::

[kittygrrl]

accomplished?...well waking up is always a good start-i'm not sure what the day will bring but tentatively..coffee w/Sister...making Hibachi Chicken(dinner) for Sister and possibly a movie...and maybe tomorrow exploring Pennsylvania together:|

[homoe]

This weekend I climbed a 20 foot ladder 4 times. This was the first time that I climbed that high since my knee replacement. Yay!

My mom spotted me just in case.

:superman:



In case you were trying to kill yourself, there must be easier methods:giggle:..

[Gayandgray]

Got all my yard work done.:hangloose: Got beans soaking for the bean soup I'm making tomorrow. Cleaned, laundry, tended to spouse and dogs, soaked my feet in Epsom salts, played with the dogs, watched a movie.

[Chad]

So far I mowed 4 acres of land and worked on my gardens.

I am currently working on laundry.

I still need to cook some fried chicken tenders and sides.
I will rest tonight because there is a lot more yard work tomorrow morning.

Yes, I am waiting for her now. :cheesy:

[Gemme]

So far, I've cleaned both cat boxes and consolidated them into one, cleaned both scoopers and put one box and one scooper away (gradually moving Loki into the covered box as he was scared of it initially), swept the floor.....twice....I'm finishing a load of laundry now and have unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher. The kitchen sponge has been nuked, the counters wiped and I'm finishing breakfast. Next up, getting ready for work, folding the clothes and going to work.

[kittygrrl]

o.m.g! My sister and i finally got to our destination hours later!!! We got soooo lost and it was sooooo funny! I have never laughed so much in my entire life!! The journey there was the best when we finally managed to land it was almost anticlimatic...When we were coming back I purchased a little momento. I said, "Sis, I wanted you to remember our trip and xxx county..She looked at me rolling her eyes (she was driving) and said.."o.m.g I will never forget this ever!" and we both had a merry laugh in the middle of nowhere...fun guys :)

[RockOn]

I have been lazy today.

I did clean the outdoor bbq grill. Then I cooked chicken breasts for my babies and about a dozen hamburgers. I took my neighbor a hamburger and chicken breast. Then I tore up one hamburger and one chicken breast into tiny pieces for each dog. Yelled "hamburger chicken picnic" out the back door and all three dashed inside like their butts were on fire. I laughed like all hell. They seemed to enjoy their food. I am eating two burgers with milk right now.

It is a good day to be lazy. May nap a little later. :)

[Kätzchen]

I got up early to verify if my pool therapy appointments were still valid for the week, which they were, so I went to pool therapy.

After I got home, I went to the farmer's market and bought some fresh ears of corn, some big baking potatoes, peaches and some brown sugar.

Then I picked up my mail and got a special letter and card from Santa! Oooooh, I don't know what I'm gonna do! Caramel sauce and ice cream.....wish list items and Christmas delights!

What to do, what to do, what to do! *lol* ❤❤❤

[Gemme]

So far? Well, in the last hour that I've been up, I've visited the restroom twice, put my hair up into my work bun, loved on the kitteh, fed teh kitteh (he insisted), gave kitteh fresh aqua and crunchies, played with teh kitteh again, kissed my Love, made my breakfast, weighed myself, washed teh kitteh's wet food dish, checked email and played online and I am currently nearly done with breakfast.

[Gayandgray]

Today I did my usual morning chores, laundry, and scrubbed half of my spouse's wheelchair ramp. I ran out of deck cleaner and didn't feel like running in town for more since it was already almost 4:30, so I'm going tomorrow. Yesterday when I got off work I took a 3 hour nap and then we went to the beach.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Today I went to the podiatrist, stopped and looked at shoes, went to visit my tarot deck I want, had an iced chai, came home and made some phone calls, cleaned the sink, toilet, and floors in the bathroom, and have been working on some reading I've really been meaning to do and taking notes with incense and candlelight.

[Gayandgray]

I got half the wheelchair ramp railings coated with water sealer, did wash & hung on the line, cooked, cleaned house, helped spouse get her shower, poured her meds for the week, snuggled with my dogs, looked into going to school.:hangloose:

[JDeere]

Slept way late, did a load of laundry and helped with a couple of chores around the house.

Visited more dogs and loved on one sweet girl
Paid a hold fee so no one can adopt her ♡

[Chad]

During the last 2 days I worked 30 hours and drove for 9 hours. I am tired but happy about the accomplishments.

[Gemme]

We sucked over 300 gallons of water from the house last night.

[Gayandgray]

Cooked, cleaned a little, took spouse to her pain doctor appointment, laundry, emailed the SPCA, called a friend, watched tv.:hangloose::hangloose::hangloose:

[Gemme]

I got up. Some days it's as simple as that.

[Gayandgray]

Not much.......

[cinnamongrrl]

I stayed my ass in bed and watched tv. I can't remember the last time I did that. Sometimes it's an accomplishment to do nothing.

[cinnamongrrl]

Finally got up and showered...scrubbed the shower while I was in there.

Went and got the new mattress. Box spring is on back order. Could've told us BEFORE we drove 45 minutes............

Now to make us lunch (leftover soup from yesterday along with fresh bread I bought at my produce place)

Then gonna sand our bedroom floor and clean this kitchen.

Also planning to bring heaps o' boxes to goodwill or Sallys.

Definitely do a load of wash and then relax with a movie. We started watching Wonder Woman finally but never finished it. Ahem.

[TL1]

Being lazy!

Worked a lot of overtime this week and 12 hours yesterday.

I do need to hit the store and do a few chore type things.

[cinnamongrrl]

I made my baby relax. That is an accomplishment.


We also got rid of numerous boxes of stuff that were just left behind in the house. We Have sooo much more room now.

And we have a dining room table now too. Looks homier in here every day. With the exception of the absent walls upstairs lol

[homoe]

Not a darn thing YET, but the day is still young........:hangloose:

[Deborah*]

The highlight of my day was actually this evening when I had a conference call with one of my mentors. I actually came online here tonight to help me come down off of the work done, as it was powerful.

Deborah

[JDeere]

Couple loads of laundry

[Chad]

Yesterday, 8 hours of driving and 8 hours on the boat in the Gulf of Mexico. Love my job!!

[clay]

SLEEP! and going for more! (I iz worn out!)

[Kobi]

I have been up for 6 hours now.

I have made and drank 2 pots of coffee.

I also decided York Peppermint Patties can be a breakfast food.

I used to think days like this were a phenomenal waste of precious time.

I now know days like this are just another way we regenerate ourselves

Tomorrow, if I feel like it, I may tackle todays list of things to do.

[cathexis]

Got out of the apartment
Took the bus to thrift store, handling cash, sat on seat, opened store's door without a napkin or paper towel
Searched through clothes having previously belonged to someone else
Tried on used shoes
Bought a book that a library had owned before
Got back on the bus
Paid my fare with cash
Sat on a public seat
Held onto siderail while exiting bus
Opening the outside door to the apartment building exterior


For me, this is an accomplishment. Especially since I did it by myself.

[Gayandgray]

Not a whole heck of a lot because I woke up with a bad headache that wiped me out half the day.:worried::worried::worried::worried:

[JDeere]

Spent 6 hours in the clinic waiting to be seen and getting meds. Came home and have been resting.

[Medusa]

YAY! Finally rehomed 6 pieces of furniture that I got as temp pieces when I first moved in here! So much more space!

Also: washed clothes, cleaned both bathrooms, worked on my side hustle a bit, phone call catch-up with a couple of friends, and washed Bella.

Now for my own beauty treatment and a glass of red.

[FireSignFemme]

Cleaned out my craft area. I don't have a craft room, craft corner, even a craft table. I have a bookcase filled with a bunch of boxes stuffed full of things. Every time I want to work on something I have to move that box, pull this one down, shove these others around... I can't wait to get done setting up a dedicated work space so when I'm finished crafting I can just close the door and not have to worry about Monte getting into things.

[Gemme]

I went to the laundromat, watched a movie with DC, went to work, siphoned the last of the water from the broken washer with DC, ate dinner and watched another movie with him, played with Loki and now I'm getting my online time in.

[easygoingfemme]

Slept in
Made a really good, even if late, breakfast.
Three mile romp in the woods for us and the dog man.
Errands.
Drive into the city to do some Halloween decorating with extended family.
Home to make dinner.
Worked out.
Now, cooking for the next couple days and tidying up the house.

[Blade]

Not one damn thing. Waited on a guy to communicate with me via text. Finally about 6:30 he decided to work with me.

[bright_arrow]

Got up before noon
Took out the pup
Washed said pup after three weeks no wash (due to being spayed and then having glue instead of stitches)
Showered
Ate lunch
Stopped at our local Dunkin Donuts :police:
Went to FILs house to visit
Assembled and put out solar lights in front of house (that I bought like a year ago...)
Assembled 60 treat bags for Halloween while the boy did yard work (spending Halloween at my FILs house)

Once laundry is done drying we are heading home for leftover Swedish meatballs and more of The Walking Dead. I vacuumed the apartment and did the dishes last night before we finished the puzzle sitting out on our coffee table.

Tomorrow is work and no chores! :fastdraq:

[Logicaly]

I did a bunch of yard work at my Dads house. Got the pathway cleared for the kids to feel comfortable coming to the door on Halloween. I also trimmed the massive oak tree that was hanging low over the drive way.

[Gemme]

So far, I am very accomplished at being a bed for the kitteh.

I also took the pup out for a short walk, made a delicious omelette for breakfast!

[WingsOnFire]

I worked half a day and then got out and enjoyed the Sun

[Kobi]

Today, I did not indulge my inner slug.

The house got cleaned. Trash and recyclables are in their respective dumpsters. Papers dropped at the doctors. The car was washed and the interior cleaned. Grocery shopping is done. Prescriptions have been picked up. Library order has been picked up. Voted in the special town election. Treated myself to a lobster roll.

Now relaxing with a coffee coolata and deciding if I have the energy to wash the inner car windows and do the laundry.

[C0LLETTE]

I signed a new lease in a new location. Almost the most stressful thing I ever did. Moving never gets easier.

[WingsOnFire]

Today is my birthday and I accomplished getting out of bed and going to a pumpkin patch

[knight]

well.. I did have a cup of coffee...

[Kenna]

Trip to farmers market.
Gassed up my truck (cheaper in SC than it is in NC!! Yayyy)
Made it home in one piece
Cooked crock-pot Speckle beans -n- ham, Two peach cobblers and two cornbread cakes.
Processed (cleaned and chopped using my new-to-me stainless steel outdoor butcher's table) and cooked four large bundles of collard greens.
Fried up pork tenderloin in a glaze made from apple juice, chopped apples and Mojito Lime spices. (OMG, YUMMMM)
Put up left overs for tomorrow and freezer, and prepared some to share with Mawmaw and deliver to a friend tomorrow.
Cleaned the kitchen until my bones said ENOUGH.
Somewhere in there, I fed all the farm critters and spent time with my furbaby.

[Chad]

After working 8 hours I drove 3 hours round trip to pick up my free dryer. It is a fancy dryer. Haha!

I am always suprised when folks don't believe that I can load, unload, and install appliances by myself. Of course I can, I am handy to have around. Haha!

[Gemme]

So far, I've gotten up, saw DC off to work, moved some stuff around, scrubbed the commode, reset some outside lighting, made the bed, played with the kitteh, played online and am going to eat soon. After that, I'll load the dishwasher, vacuum then apply the mildew treatment and see how that goes as I can still smell a little yuckiness in the carpet that was saturated the longest. DC says it's fine but my schnoz is more delicate than his. Then I'll watch a smidge of TV and then get ready for work.

[C0LLETTE]

I packed moving boxes till I got so tired that I just started throwing things in.

I am the queen of organization when it comes to moving, packing, donating, and tossing stuff!

If you're paying a moving company its a bummer to pay and then reach your final destination only to toss half of the stuff you've just paid to have moved!

[bright_arrow]

A lot, and I mean a lot, of processing enrollments at work for new patients for heart monitors. I don't know if there is a bug but we have had an influx that has four of us working all day trying to clear 500 enrollments and they keep coming, every single day, all day. :|

[bright_arrow]

Unloaded and loaded the dishwasher

[Chad]

I got the new to me dryer installed. Turned out to be more work than I thought but I did it. I had to completely empty out the laundry room, move the old dryer out, take the wiring off the old dryer, install the wiring on the newish dryer, hook everything up, put all the stuff back into the laundry room, and install the other wires to my old dryer.

I also voted, bought some groceries, and cooked food.
Now to clean house.

The fridge got repaired, it was still under warranty.
Yeah the dyer was maybe 30 years old it was time for a change.

[Gayandgray]

[JDeere]

Took truck to the shop

Ran errands with mom all day

Laundry

[Teddybear]

It actually took me 2 days to. Tried to do laundry yesterday and it wouldn't work. Diagnosed the problem, bad door lock motor, called around for the part(this is why it took 2 days to fix it had to be order and took until after 330 pm to get here), order said part, took washer apart to replace the switch. 15 minutes tops. Took longer to find the tools then to actually take it apart.

Got home with said part and put it back together took about 45 minutes the dam spring that goes around the tub seal didn't want to go back in place. Finally got it started a load and NO water leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So for $120 I just bought my moms washer and dryer and it isn't a top load washer it is one of those Whirlpool Duet steam washer/dryer combo.

I also accomplished ticking off my baby brother by getting said washer and dryer.:pirate-steer::pirate-steer:

[bright_arrow]

I moved a whole lot of heavy boxes this morning and ate a small breakfast and a big brunch. That's about it so far.

I actually wrote out and mailed holiday cards this week.

That is an accomplishment for me. Haha!

:grinch:

[Kätzchen]

Last night.....I talked with my oldest son by phone. He says he is fine, but I'm his mother and my motherly radar says differently. I'm going to send him a holiday card and put a little something extra in it, to lift his heart and brighten his day.

Today.... I don't have any plans, other than to make a special meal for myself, and keep myself entertained with creating an holiday card for my oldest son. I might go for a short walk, and say a few 'prayers' for my boys and a few close friends.... who feel not quite right..... "we're all just walking each other home (Ram Dass)", right?

:praying: :praying: :praying:

[butchgeek]

a mile in chlorine (and then not freezing on the way to my car 😜)

[RockOn]

I declared today an accomplishment-free day.

I am taking a rest and relax day. :)

[Blade]

Wash dishes, fix breakfast, wash dishes again. Gather garbage and loaded my truck and went to the dump. Then I drove up the road to an auction and they had already sold what I went up there for. Stop by the grocery store then came home and put my groceries up. Went to town and picked up two bales of hay for the goats and came back home again. When I got home I fed and watered the goats and the cats came inside and fed Skippy. All I have left to do now is fix my supper.

[girl_dee]

worked
grocery shopping
gassed up car
oil change
changed wiper blades
cleaned kitchen floor

[Kätzchen]

Met my new primary doctor today (she's super smart and very savvy), picked up new med's, bought a few groceries, and now to snuggle up in bed and continue reading Love In The Time Of Cholera (omg, such an endearing and achingly sad, yet kind of comical too, type of story).

[Kätzchen]

Yesterday I painstakingly colored my hair...... it turned out very nice. Today I trimmed my hair up, just a skosh. Tomorrow, after I get an errand accomplished, I plan to very carefully shape my nails with my new file, then polish my nails.

<<<<<~~ slowly getting my groove back.

:hk20:

[Gemme]

I freakin' survived.

:goodluck:

[Kenna]

Spoke with my rheumatologist and his triage nurse about my fall and what Urgicare told me about my hips; they are referring me to a special Ortho immediately and processing an order for DME. (they were shocked my regular doctor and UrgiCare refused to refer me to Ortho)

Did some household chores.
Got info from insurance company.

Took my meds.

And arranged a very important delivery.

[clay]

Shower this AM, errands done, and enjoying cooler breezes & temps outside in the swing this afternoon.

My energy levels are zapped rather quickly!!! :(.

[JDeere]

Mailed off bill payments.

Went to grocery store.

Picked up rx's for my folks.

[Kätzchen]

I went to the social security office to check on my disability status. After that, I took the bus down to an local business near me, to window shop. I found an awesome area rug, good quality, for $25 . I bought it and they helped me get it out to the bus stop. Luckily riders helped me get it on and off the bus. And when I got home, neighbors helped me by carrying it upstairs to my home.

It's very pretty and I love it.

It was simply beautiful here today.

Getting out in the sunshine did me an world of good.

[Bèsame*]

Staying on the phone for 45 min, with my internet service. My bill was soooo wrong. Your not going to charge me $199 to move my equipment from one apt to another. I know it wasn't me batting my blue eyes. It must have been my sweet, sexy voice...LOL


I now have a credit on my bill!

[Kenna]

Finally going to town to get those solar lights I've been wanting

I now have a credit on my bill!

Windstream Internet service techs and Direct TV "Loyalty Office" have kissed my ass in the past when I had to resolve issues, and/or get credits.

And when I had to contact the Corp office for my new car warranty several years ago...I told them "you're the third person I was transferred to in the last 10 minutes, by the time I get done explaining myself, the ONLY thing you're allowed to say to me is YES Ma'am".

It worked...they agreed to rebuild my engine and transmission under warranty.

[Chad]

Mowing lots of mowing.
I mow a while then get hot and come in the house to clean. After I cool off I go back out and continue to mow. Repeat many times.

:cowboy:

[RockOn]

Not really much. I covered 2 stumps I had been burning almost every weekend for the past couple of months. They were finally burned out low enough to cover with dirt and never be a problem again.

I am taking it easy these days and some physical issues seem to be improving in small increments. :) YAY FOR THAT!

Trip to the farmer's market (bought from several of my favorite, elderly vendors)
Other chores like trip to vets and IGA...
Transplanted 30 veggie plants into larger containers (major effort and exercise while gritting teeth from pain in lumbar and kidney area, but very happy with my work)...
Showered.
Grilled a damn good dinner.

[JDeere]

Today I will accomplish getting the yard sprayed down with bug b gone. Going to go shopping because I need some new shorts.

[Gemme]

I worked on my craft project, played with the kitties, made a great brunch and I'm about to go to work.

[Chad]

So far I mowed a couple of acres with the push mower. Completed some weeding. Cleaned up and went grocery shopping. It is hot outside so the rest of the day will be resting with light indoor chores.

:cowboy:

[Bèsame*]

Staying up into the wee hours and sleeping late this morning. Conversations with honesty are great!

Pretty colors were added to my hair.

Crafty yellow things are coming to a finish.

And just staying in, because its soo hot!

[cinnamongrrl]

Yesterday....

It was.a banner day

Also our bedroom mostly cleaned...gotta re vacuum and mop

Did five loads of.wash and hung out four

Stripped the bed

Made.it up all purty with the nice, light summer comforter (finally)

Gave all 4 dogs a bath and applied flea treatment

With the honeys help, brought trash and recycling to the dump.

Started mowing the lawn but the mower kept stalling...honey finished it

Got the new, huge chicken coop put together (!!!)

Cleaned out the fridge

Changed the cat box

Pre organized the upstairs huge closet in anticipation of bins my honey got for that project

Got a workout in somewhere in the midst.of it all...

[dark_crystal]

Today my officemate needed me to explain the moth (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7370267/moth-memes-trending-internet/) meme. This is huge bc she is a millennial and I’m gen-x

[JDeere]

Nothing!

I got a break for once!

[cricket26]

I got my car registration sticker in the mail...its not due til next month...I don't want to put it on my car yet as I don't want to appear too organized! (Its on my fridge under a margaritaville magnet)

[cricket26]

house is decorated for christmas, started christmas cards, some christmas shopping :xmascandle::xmascandle:

[Esme nha Maire]

I finished one assignment ahead of schedule today, and finished the solo part of another that has to be done in pairs, and spotted and caught a nasty little rider in the assignment brief that I don't think my colleague has noticed (I certainly hadn't until I checked whether my efforts met the brief) - we have to finish the thing tomorrow!

[RockOn]

Cleaned up the backyard some. Planted 2 more Autumn Blaze Maple trees. In the next 6 months to a year, I want to plant a dozen or so of those Japanese maples --- quite a variety .... plus sooner than that, plant several of the purple flowered fast growing shade trees in strategic areas.

Taking down all those tall pines around my house is taking the A.C. longer to cool things down to 65 to 68 degrees in warm weather. And some all different shades of wisteria vines down near the road. It will be easy to build very tall lattice - put numerous tall 4x4's in the ground with concrete, secure lattice to the rx4's. A kumquat tree in a large planter on wheels brings big anticipation every time I think of it. I love kumquats!!! :) Muskadine and scuppernong (spelling??) vines too. Few vegetables next summer! Especially tomatoes. Will have to put wire around edibles, even the top. I cannot share with all the wild critters. I would not get any of it!

Will run fence on and off some this afternoon after I drag a couple more logs from the back woods to the front by the road.

I am leisurely accomplishing things but not pushing too hard. Heck, might even fit a 45 minute power nap in there somewhere. I feel good and it is a pleasent day outside ... sunny and perfect. I could not be any happier. :)

[Mel C.]

not a darn thing....and it was wonderful!

[JDeere]

Laundry

Dog bath

Tidying my room

[Chad]

On my vacation day I ran errands, fixed mom's truck, and baked an Angel Food Cake.

Now to get after those strawberries.

:cowboy:

[FireSignFemme]

Well not much worth of note will be happening around here today because I slept past noon. I wasn't really up all that late last night. Maybe it's just because my body needed some deep sleep, which hasn't happened in awhile. In any case not using it as an excuse to lazy out, know how much I can usually get done in a day from lunchtime to nighttime so determined to accomplish at least that. So far tided up the bathroom, ran some laundry, worked a bit on shopping list. Other than that not much else besides fix breakfast. Small dent, nowhere close to being done, and so the beat goes on.

[easygoingfemme]

Took my daughter for her road test and she passed, which is great. (She didn't pass when she tried last week)

Some tidying of the house.

Check in at work (On vacation but still...)

Laundry

Gym for daughter and I both.

Flu shot for daughter

Home to make dinner

more laundry.

[RockOn]

Taking a break ... forgot to take ibuprophren (3 hours late makes a big difference) ... if I don't get rained out, I hope to get four 4"x4"x10' planted two feet in concrete in the ground. I have a new method, no jarring on the body and it is less tiring too. It takes a little longer but you do what you have to do to keep everything in tact. The pups have been out all morning helping me yank bushes with tow ropes out of the ground. I did notice Kevie taking frequent nap breaks but he stays close to the action. Jeffrey, his normal self, grabs pieces of scrubs after they are out of the ground before I have time to get out of the truck and throw them on the bed. Seriously, they are all over the front yard right now. I cannot keep up with his messy traits. I will let him have his fun ... then do one clean-up at the end of the day. Jennifer just wants me to remember to tell her how pretty she is ... needs it verbalized often. LOL!

[Mel C.]

drove dee to meet with a client, looked for alternate wedding locations (thanks Trump for shutting down the government along with out wedding venue), went to the liquor store, went to the grocery store, got a massage, did some housework, now watching a movie with dee.

[homoe]

I got out of the house for a bit & ran a few errands, then came back home and got busy on my research projects!

While doing my Chicago research, I came across a few new places that I hopefully visit my next trip there..:hangloose:

[dark_crystal]

i was just in a customer service chat with a rep named "Leonardo" and i resisted the temptation to sign off with "Thanks Leonardo, you're a pretty good turtle"

it would not have been original, although i would have been amused by imagining his expression when i ended on a joke after having been a gigantic bitch for the entire preceding half hour

[Mel C.]

took down the Christmas decorations, including stuffing that darn tree into bags light enough to get them up in the rafters (I hope).

[homoe]

...
Nothing YET but the day is still young!

[Buckaroo]

filed my taxes today. *blech*

[CherylNYC]

I updated an article that was about to be published with old information(!), I did a bunch of research on legislators we're going to meet, and I finally finished the fact sheet we're using for our lobbying day in Albany. I picked out my clothes, too. Inspired by Nancy Pelosi, I made sure to find just the right pins for my lapel.

Annnnd... every time I felt myself getting too hunched over the keyboard I did a round of phys therapy exercises. Whew!

This will be my first Albany lobbying day and I'm a little nervous.

Everything on my agenda PLUS got rid of Mary for another evening so I have the place all to myself...:hangloose::|..um H...since you have a little extra time come help me...lol

[homoe]

...

It was payday so a trip to the bank, post office, grocery store, etc etc!

PLUS it being such a beautiful warm sunny day here with temps in the 60's and with flowers in bloom just about everywhere I did indeed hand out compliments to every woman I passed..

[homoe]

Left the house early afternoon to do a few errands and some grocery shopping for the stuff I forgot to get the other day. Stopped at Five Guys to grab some grub to eat on the run and then a final stop at Walmart.

By the time we got home it was going on 8 p.m. Sat in my comfy chair and went thru the day's mail while Mary unpacked and put away all the stuff. At some point I fell asleep and now here I sit at 3 a.m Sunday morning bright eyed and bushy tailed.....

[homoe]

I had an appointment in Tacoma. Lets just say the "doctor" I saw was less than professional and me and Mary came away scratching our heads..:seeingstars:

[homoe]

Today I combed through tons of information, including an AAA Tour Book, on Eau Claire Wisconsin!

[homoe]

..

Everything on my agenda and then some.....:hangloose:

[cinnamongrrl]

Quite a bit...

I did wash and hung it out to dry,

Started sanding down the stairs so I can paint them next week

Since I had the sander out, sanded down a longggg standing project (2 years long) so I can hopefully get it stained and painted this week.

Cleaned out a kitchen cabinet that had the leavings of our recent reno. Now I can give my instant pot and food processor a home.

Emptied dishwasher and started filling it t again.

Sanded the newly dry walled wall in the kitchen so I can HOPEFULLY finish painting the kitchen this week as well.

Made myself a good, nutritious lunch.

Got the dogs out for a really long time in the yard.

Cleaned counters and etc

[Gemme]

I found it! I bought a unique bookcase and I went back to the store a while back to see if they had another one but they didn't. An employee told me they have that style of bookcase often and to just keep coming back as the one I wanted would eventually make its way back into the store and today it did! So now I have twin bookcases. I also bought a small dresser that I'd been eyeing for a couple of weeks now since I likely won't go back to that store for a while as I finally got what I was looking for.

The list of things that I haven't accomplished is much longer than what I did but I did hit the bank up, go to the furniture store twice and I got groceries and shopped for work as well.

Before bed, I'll do a load of laundry and take out the trash. Honestly, that's probably going to be it. I'm not feeling very motivated today.

[Kätzchen]

Yesterday, I took the day off from work - so I could go by DMV, see my insurance agent, pick up a few more tall boxes, bought some new curtain rods to go with beautiful curtains that were given to me, and picked up the keys to the studio, then marveled at the beautiful sunset (late last night).

Today, I'm up early, waiting for the mover's to arrive, they should be here soon. Then my next task, with the help of my friends here in town, is to put my studio together and then watch another sunset tonight. We have pearly skies right now, but the clouds should burn off soon, by noon, and the weather should be fairly warm. Cool by late evening (hopefully).

[Kätzchen]

I rose early so I could get a head-start on helping my sister-in-law get some of their family's household chores caught up, while they're on vacation. I've got their laundry caught up, monkey'd around with the auto-presets for watering and managed to solve the timer issue - so the property gets rounds of watering sets late in the evening, and the kitchen is sparkling clean.

Before too long, I plan to take a long shower and get dolled up for an afternoon drive to go shopping and visit with family friends who are in town.

Right now tho, I'm taking a break and listening to CBS Sunday morning news stories on TV, and sipping on a cup of herbal tea, while Petunia sits by my side purring. :balloon:

[clay]

I got so many boxes/totes emptied out yesterday. Last October I emptied my storage building, so have had several (used loosely..:)..) boxes stacked between my LR/DR. I emptied about 20 last night.

Today I got the old CD shelf unit removed (thanks to my friend C. upstairs!) so I am restacking remaining boxes...biggest on bottom to smaller on top. I will be done in a couple hours. I will do rest after I recoup from my surgery!

Got my haircut today for upcoming surgery...:) (want to look handsome in case I snag any nurse's eye...:)

[JDeere]

Nothing!

Lol if you knew whats going on in my life you would know, doing nothing is a good thing.

[Tuff Stuff]

We're talking...still living outside in a tent (traveling, actually) but talking is good.

[RebelDyke]

Much needed list for around the house
paid rent
laundry
grocery shopping
and lunch....

yanno...lots of adulting!

and now... a much needed nap

[Kätzchen]

It was yesterday: I zeroed in on an opportunity to be of service to an VIP visiting our work campus; I bought delicious cupcakes at a specialty bakery to give to my office work team and took them to work today for breakfast; I remembered to put more oil in the motor, just in the nick of time; and because I want a better type of work environment and better pay, I applied for a job I once applied for, back a few years ago (maybe I will find myself working there soon).

Today, I just found ways to smile, smile, smile …. They say that they 'universe conspires on our behalf to give us what we want or need', so I basked in that type of mindset today, manifesting what I want for life by smiling.

<<<<<<<~~ Contentment is the prevailing wind tonight. :balloon:

[FireSignFemme]

Met with temporary relocation specialist. The new owners have received a 19, close to 20 million dollar grant to upgrade the property. Work on our building is going to begin on the 19th of September and we won't be able to get back in until late on the 27th, providing all goes well which with construction work you just never know.

Since my unit hasn't had any serious repairs/upgrades in the 10+ years I've been here it's getting a major overhaul. Not all units are so I'm pretty happy about mine being one of those selected. However my sons, concerned about the area want me to move away from here and closer to them where things are safer. Which makes sense.

My lease is up in October, so I'm looking, so far no luck finding a place accepting vouchers but I have managed to get on one wait list and have a bunch of others to call on and maybe some to take a look at next week. Also J is going to speak to someone she knows who has two rentals and see if either are available or will be shortly.

I spent a lot of time apartment hunting and packing today because wether I wind up staying here or moving elsewhere I still have to have things ready for the movers so they can haul it off to storage in order to be able to do the work. All sorts of people are moving, even if it means breaking leases, things are a mess here and likely will be for awhile.

[FireSignFemme]

Last night I did some more research concerning the apartments I'm on wait lists for. One has a much longer wait list than we were told. The other has some bad reviews I wasn't aware of. However I've been here a lot longer than I cared to and it hasn't killed me yet. Also, the place I'm in now had bad reviews before I moved in and other than some smashed in pumpkins and missing decorations a couple of Halloweens it's nowhere near as bad as people said it was.

Anyhow we went to see about getting my name on a wait list for some still being built. It turned out I didn't have to go on a wait list because they had a one bedroom left. Just one still up for rent. Very surprising because they had an open house about a week ago for people to sign up which I didn't know about. Usually there are far more people applying than there are apartments to rent. I was sure they'd be gone by now and the wait list a mile long. I'm still having a hard time believing this is really happening!

[Kätzchen]

A whole lot of work got done today, plus I got a few paper cuts (ouch, they still sting and hurt), and I got a whole lot of walking in at work. My legs feel like they're gonna stage a coup and not walk anymore, lol.

Other than lots of work, I plan to do a whole lotta laying around this weekend, right after work tomorrow. :jester: :tease:

:hk20:

[Kätzchen]

Paid down a big bill; put some $$$ on my transit pass; made a homemade thank you card for an executive at work who treated me to a slice of her homemade cheesecake that she brought to work (OMG it was yummy); went to counseling tonight, only to learn that I had to day wrong (it's tomorrow night -- guess what I'm doing tomorrow, *lol*); and currently planning a holiday menu for Thanksgiving (gosh, it's only 11 weeks from now, right?); and making plans for New Years Eve (I love to kick the winter blues away by visiting the coast and hanging out with long time friends).

[RebelDyke]

Today I accomplished just being present. I probably should have taken time off of work, but I understand the burden it puts on others (and myself with having to make up an online class)......but I got through it

Of course, I won't remember the week. But I know people had a good laugh... haha I think i sang to a group of women too. lmao. i am sure they will remind me of it too.

[Kätzchen]

Today marks 3 months and 23 days since I moved to my new home and although I still have boxes yet to unpack (I had a lot of stuff !! :cheesy: :| ), I am feeling a sense of accomplishment that I managed to leave a really bad neighborhood behind, when I didn't think I'd have the nerve to do it.

Sometimes, as one nears an elderly type age, it's not easy to pick up and start over. I used to do it all the time, move to new places, just to enjoy new surroundings. Moving last June was the best thing I've done in years, so I feel a big sense of accomplishment over doing just that (moving to a safer neighborhood).

Depending on what happens next year, I may move yet again.

:blueheels:

[Kätzchen]

I gave my two week notice at work today, right after I was on-boarded to my new work placement. October is such a nice month to begin a new chapter in my life. :stillheart:

[MrSunshine]

I survived the brick challenge. That’s where I get to load and unload the decorative brick and hump them thru the yard to the back end of it in 95 degree heat while my sister watches. Her stupid bricks pfft!
To be fair she only weighs 93lbs. lol (lightweight)

[SnackTime]

Accepted a job offer
Lunch with co-worker and her friend
Met with a personal trainer
NOT enough sleep

Nothing YET but the day is still young...............

[MrSunshine]

The palm tree challenge. Major fail! I chainsawed the damn thing down, my sister was on belay and didn’t bother to pull the rope so down it came onto my head. I have a headache.

[Bèsame*]

Accomplished!

I sold every piece of merchandise. I sold every piece of fixtures, including tables, vacuum, steamer, sign holders and the safe!

Not many stores can say they did all that!

Tomorrow I go in for an hour to deposit registerfunds and pull harddrive. There is some miscellaneous things to finish as well. Then I have a Chinese food lunch date🍜🍣🍤🥢

[Gemme]

Not much. I slept late, had brunch, took care of the babies' breakfast and lunch and I've washed my face and brushed my teeth. Other than watching some TV, that's it. I do feel better so something will get done today but that's it so far.

[Kätzchen]

Drove over to my fav washeteria, to do laundry and visit with my elderly butch friend. She is a hoot, for sure.

Then after that, I dropped by the beauty supply for licensed professionals, and picked up a bunch of my favorite hair products and some Redken highlighting powder and 40v developer (so I could color my hair with fresh highlights).

Came home, made lunch, put the laundry away.

Sat for a spell. :)

Then... I went to the craft store, since I had 40% off coupons. I found a couple of Pumpkin ceramic pie dishes to give to my sil-bestie and her mom for all the sweet things they've done for me and two fall autumn leaf laurels, then took them over to my sil's house.

Then, I dropped by my favorite grocery store and bought some fresh strawberries and breakfast cereal's and a few Caesar salad packs for salads to take with me to work, this coming week.

Came home, put it all away.

Then made one last trip to the gas station to fill up the gas tank and get a car wash and wax, so my car looks better and is clean and shiny.

Got all my Saturday household chores done too (vacuumed, mopped the hardwood floors, cleaned the bathroom etc).

What a bizzy day. *LOL* (or not).

:moonstars:


<<<<<<~~ waiting for the full moon to rise, so I can wander outside and gaze at the moon.

[FireSignFemme]

Tidied up kitchen, did some dishes, made the bed, organized the pantry, cleaned fridge, did a little laundry but mostly just lazed around, lounged around petting Monte and watching television. I'm feeling under the weather and Monte seems down, in need of extra attention and reassurance on account of the move. It was a low key day.

[homoe]

It's barely 7 a.m. but so far, in an early morning phone call, I've firmed up my Thanksgiving's Day plans....:turkeyday:

[JDeere]

Got up. Got dressed properly for job interview.

Went to interview. Went to store to get some things.

[Kätzchen]

Shopping for cute winter boots, stopped by the salon for manicure and arm massage, then went grocery shopping, put the groceries away after I got home, vacuumed the carpets and polished the wood floor, cleaned the bathroom, made my bed, and now... I am watching that old TV game show that used to come on tv in the afternoons, years ago: *P A S S W O R D* :balloon:

Spent 4-5 hours cleaning and organizing kitchen and pantry closet yesterday and then ran errands so today has been a lazier day :)

[Gemme]

I worked, went to the vet's (twice) and still didn't walk away with food (they ordered the wrong type...doh), ran work errands, broke a glass pane and cleaned it up, swept up my storage room and reorganized it, got some stuff posted online, tried to teach Loki to be quiet (limited success), played with Gracie and I did some household stuff too.

[RebelDyke]

installing duct work for a microwave. It was the second day of installation in an attic that was waaay to tall to install in one day. Glad the homeowner was there to help.

now on to course work

[homoe]

~~
Unfortunately not much today!

Watched some of the Seahawks game but spent most of the day, off and on the phone, comparing notes with my traveling companion in the Windy City about the current issue of Chicago Magazine's article 25 Best Spots In Town for pizza. Of course now we're both craving pizza!

[JDeere]

Nothing but a very hot shower and eating food.

Today I finished making this place caseworker inspection worthy. I already had my yearly review but anytime you move it triggers a new assessment. Anyhow I spent yesterday and today boxing up everything I'd unpacked and couldn't find a home for (almost everything) then used those boxes to get an idea of what furniture I'm going to put where in the bedroom. So many stacked together for a tall dresser, so many grouped together for a low, long dresser, this many to represent a chair – like that. Now I have a really good idea of what pieces of furniture will fit where, how to arrange/group things together in order to make the most of the space I've got. I told my son not to tell J so I can surprise her. She's coming over tomorrow thinking she's going to help me with the huge ass mess it was. Instead I'm going to reluctantly agree to get started on it telling her okay but only if we go out to breakfast afterwards. After she agrees, when she opens the door expecting to see a mess and instead sees it's all done, I'm going to say – I'm hungry now!!! Feed me!!!!!!

[Kätzchen]

I had an very challenging day and feel accomplished that I could hold my emotions in check, and think clearly while dealing with a situation that could have easily spiraled out of control.

So that was my big accomplishment today.

I credit my therapist and the work I have been doing with her, as helping me to meet challenging situations with clear thinking and positive action.

[Gemme]

Not much so far, but I've run some errands, picked up some groceries and am about to have a small brunch since breakfast didn't hold.

[Blade]

Not nearly enough but getting there.
Maybe I'll be back when I can actually tell I've done something productive

[Blade]

Made my breakfast and cleaned up the dishes

A whole lotta eating, drinking and yelling at the tv.

[Stone-Butch]

Today I went shopping for groceries.

Bought a few things for my brother for xmas.

Shopped for a new computer and printer for ME. (Merry Xmas to me).

Got a long awaited hair cut.

Had lunch and a nap.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Got ALL of my Mom's Christmas shopping done!

Unfortunately, I got none of my own done, but now that hers is out of the way, it's a huge relief.

I also had a very satisfying nap.

[Chad]

I got up early and cleaned the house.
Mopped - mopping one handed is not fun.
Dust furniture
Vacuum
Bleach surfaces
Take out the trash
Organize paperwork and stuff
Grocery shopping - I treated us with a cheese cake.

Just light work left.

Tomorrow I plan to grill steaks.

:cowboy:

[JDeere]

Drilled holes in the brick outside so mom can hang garland over the door...

Couple loads of laundry...wash dry and fold

Washed dishes by hand... Ran the rest in dishwasher

[Bèsame*]

Was on the Santa Crew for a few hours.
Read a book that's due back to the bookshelf on Monday.
Made Turtle Brownies.
Bingeing on Holiday Baking Challenges.
Clipping the sweetest quilt that has teapots and tea cups on it.

Oh, and it's been super windy, I had a slight catastrophe on the balcony that I quickly cleaned up.

[Gemme]

I brought a cabinet into the house and moved stuff around in the garage to make room for the car since there's snow tonight. My baby is safe and sound and was only moderately snowy when I put her in the garage. I worked and have done my house chores for now so I'm watching my back episodes of The Rookie.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I managed to wash my hair this evening. That's the only really useful thing I did today. Even so, I was too tired to blow it out, so I'll have to flat iron it in the morning.

[charley]

all done, yeah me!

I must say that the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker with Tendercrisp was kinda heavy! It will replace my Crock Pot, and I will be able to BBQ a chicken in it! What fun!

Will have the rest of the week to open boxes, get the other stuff packed and ready to donate, and make new space on my counter, and elsewhere.

Also, treated myself to a Greek feast platter to celebrate - absolutely delicious. I always celebrate spending money and buying things by going out and feasting.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I got _all_ my Christmas shopping done! Yay!

[RockOn]

GeorgiaMa'am, that is an enormous accomplishment!


Lots! Kept 2 burn barrels going. I am cutting logs into thin slices. Also, dumped some used motor oil on a stump ... I was working this stump in April 2018 ... then my back went out (several ruptured discs) ... so I had to quit. I am doing great now. No surgery. Pain is not worth mentioning anymore. I can do anything I want but I am super careful about lifting heavy objects. I make sure I make my core is rock hard before the lift. Magic!! LOL! Actually lots more core building P.T. at home regularly has helped a lot.

By tomorrow evening, I expect that stump will be ready to cover with dirt and forget! YAY! :) I only have two more in the backyard to get rid of ... all the ones in the woods can rot. Stumps are a burden. The work is too hard if you don't have a stump grinder.

Happy tonight! Much progress this weekend!
:)

I got my craft project finished and mailed, picked up some food at the vet's, picked up a package at the office, got my first holiday card of the season in the mail and I may still have a couple house chores to do before I crash.

[Kätzchen]

I went shopping: bought a few groceries, bought a couple of silk scarves and a beautiful pair of earrings; and then I stopped to get a manicure/pedicure at the spa. I decided to just go with a natural manicure, instead of doing the gel overlays on my real nails. My nails feel better now, thank heavens.

Oh, and I bought a beautiful ring for myself today too. It's handmade, and it's Italian enameled artwork (in Ivory or Aqua) depicting a turtle swimming among the coral reef (it has crystals, too, it's very sparkly and pretty). It is a Sterling Silver ring. I got it for my middle finger on my left hand. I had to get it sized to fit, though. It should be back by NYE.

Here's what the proceeds from Sea Turtle Ring goes toward: "At Belle Étoile, we are constantly inspired by the beauty of nature and we are committed to helping protect this beauty for generations to come. Through the sale of the Sea Turtle Collection, Belle Étoile is supporting the work of the Sea Turtle Conservancy, helping sea turtles all over the world. Thank you for your support." Here is what it looks like: Belle Etoile Jewelry (https://belleetoilejewelry.com/products/sea-turtle-ring?_pos=1&_sid=9b0f7bb86&_ss=r)

And...., I had my therapy visit today, somewhere in between all that shopping. I'm so glad my therapist can see me on Saturday's now.

[Bèsame*]

Yesterday I worked the Santa Crew and later I went to Town Square to watch, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, under the stars !

I'm making my own Holiday happiness, no matter what!

Good for you! Me too!

Quite a few years ago, I realized that my family was not ever going to create the kind of MGM-Hollywood Christmas I wanted. So I started my own traditions, and some of them have lasted* and some have not**. But I have plenty of Christmasy-ness - and my family of choice - to spend them with now. Today, for example, I am hanging up Christmas cards and wrapping gifts with elaborate trimmings (no bags here - unless of course someone doesn't deserve extra fancy wrapping).

(*Examples of traditions that have lasted: baking cookies; giving randomly to some person who needs it; giving to charities; sending Holiday cards.

** Examples of traditions that have not lasted (and good riddance!): baking a huge, multi-course traditional meal for my biological family who will plow through the whole thing in 20 minutes and not appreciate it; and giving everyone in my biological family "extra", funny white elephant gifts, trying to jolly them into the Spirit of Christmas.

A three hour nap! Boy, doing nothing really wore me out!

Today I got my bedroom in order!

Now IF only I was having some company to appreciate it.......:giggle:

[JDeere]

Ummmm ive only done 2 things on my list so the rest to go.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I gave a friend some really hard news that I've been avoiding for three months. He actually took it pretty well - but we'll see how he holds up after the news sinks in. He's the nervous sort.

[Bèsame*]

today 2 loaves of zucchini bread were made, pretty tasty

Did someone say bread.......:awww:

[Blade]

LOL not much
I cleaned off the top of the dead microwave

I finished mowing the yard

I am about to fold laundry and finish another load.

I've been awake since 4 a.m. so you can see I haven't done much today

[Gemme]

Other than charging my phone, washing my hair, making some burgers and finishing season 2 of The Order, not a damn thing. Days off rock.

[Orema]

Nervously watched the high wind and rain whip around the tree canopy a few yards from my windows — the squirrel nest hung in there!

Looked online for bird boxes and read about them — the kind you put out in the winter not for nesting but for roosting in cold weather.

A bunch of birds at one time, even different species, will sit on the little ladder inside.

The entrance hole is at the bottom of the front panel, so their body heat will rise and stay inside.

In the spring, you switch the front panel so the hole is at the top, letting the hot air out, and they use it for nesting. When I order one, I'll affix it somehow to the wall of the balcony.

Everything else I did today pales next to my self-tutorial on bird boxes and storm watching.

[C0LLETTE]

When I post a one line response " about what I accomplished today " I'm not being falsely modest . There are so many days when I accomplish nothing or next to. And I've no intention of apologizing for it.

Hi, Someone asked me for the link to my research. It was just Amazon. If you search for "bird roost box," all this stuff will come up and you can web-hop around the different makers. Good luck bird lovers! Ginger

[kittygrrl]

nothing so far...making pancakes to oldie Dz24kKWGlT8but goodie

[Gemme]

I rolled out of bed--eventually after 2 false starts--and took care of the fur babies. Then I made myself some food and perused stuff online. I also played some Spider Solitaire and was mostly successful in finishing each game under 4 minutes, which is my personal marker as to whether it was 'successful' or not. I weighed myself and put my hair up in a ponytail.

Currently, I'm working through my email notifications here and am contemplating having dessert after brunch. Eventually, I'll make my way to actual work and house chores but for the time being, I'm happy doing a whole lot of not much.

[Orema]

Accomplished last week ....

Finished purging-reorganizing my office. It looks nice and feels even better. The only thing left to do is remove the clothes rack for the closet she was going to extend when I was partnered.

Got the carbon monoxide detector hooked up.

Unpacked all my boxes from work.

[Gemme]

Not a darn thing, other than getting a boatload of sleep. I woke a little after 8 and decided to go back to bed. Big mistake. I woke with my neck, upper back and shoulder blade area out of whack so now I can't do much of anything without it hurting.

[Bèsame*]

After today I can say I accomplished 22 days of continuous work. Whew. I survived. Actually, I'm impressed with that. So many steps. I also noticed some guns abuilding in my arms!

I think mind over matter today got to me though. My eyes were so heavy. Decisions...carry on with the list of things I have to do or take a nap??

Iced coffee. That will do it everytime. Accomplished 4 out of the 7 on my list. Tomorrow is another day. Besides those last 3 things will be quite enjoyable.

I'm sure saving the $$ though. A change in venue is in the works. I'm going to vacation land to live. Noooo, not Margaritaville, lol.

[FireSignFemme]

Fixed computer, phone, internet! I did need my son's help via text but it's getting better. I'm now familiar enough with all its parts and pieces/various components that he didn't need to come over and do it for me, or even come over and via show and tell guide me through it. Sometimes it ticks me off him making me learn this stuff through trial and error but he's right I do need to learn to troubleshoot better, so I can then practice, practice, practice.

[RockOn]

slept in until 6:30, fed pups, filled their water bowls with lots of ice and let them play outside while I watched youtube baby monkey videos (their videos make me laugh a lot - they are so cute) ... then I mowed lawns, pulled up a huge bush roots and all with tow strap tied to truck, used chainsaw to cut a 40 ft log into 3 ft pieces (burn it later) the pups were sleeping in the shade watching me work ... we came in, I had to cool off... that is when I discovered my new 2 week old 15k btu window a.c. for the bedroom was not putting out the normal 65 degrees. I think it foolish to run the central a.c. and cool the whole house that cold. Anyway, I was irritably hot, ended up with skin torn off 3 knuckles when I gave it a good smack ... this caused it to almost fall out the window ... I was inside when I hit it and was fortunate to catch it .... very heavy, brought on a lot of swearing, grunting and farting to pull it back to safety.... it is fine now, freezing us like usual, Jennifer and Jeffrey are covered up with a blanket ... it was just a funky setting I was unaware of ... they hid that info from me in the owner's manual ... duhhh

[GeorgiaMa'am]

After work, I made appointments with the doctor and with the DMV. Seems everyone requires an appointment these days . . .

[Kenna]

A lot. But I'm too tired to list it all.
Main thing was driving my roomie to the Dr for his follow up.
2nd thing was to find a Publix to buy goat milk yogurt for my old furbaby.
After letting my Tundra idle at each location I needed to stop at, it needed a special cool down under the shade with the hood up for a while.

[Gemme]

After work, I made appointments with the doctor and with the DMV. Seems everyone requires an appointment these days . . .

But with an appointment, it will probably be the fastest you'll ever be in the DMV.

As for myself, I've accomplished barely anything at all other than cooking up 4 delicious burgers and washing some dishes. I made myself house presentable as well. Nothing as fancy as public presentable but good enough to walk in front of the open window blinds.
