What's on your agenda today?

[homoe]

Tonight: brave the late minute crowds just because I'm a daredevil and thrill seeker.

Tomorrow: half day of work and some craft work.


Oh you rebel you!

We just may have to change your screen name to Evel Knievel..

[Mopsie]

At home with the family. We made some candy cane wreaths sort of like these:

Then we had a football marathon. :cheerleader:

Well, I up and done it. I went back to another store. I lost 1.5 hours in there. And I don't regret it for one minute!

My pocketbook does though.

:blink:

The agenda for the rest of the night is to finish the movie I'm watching and tidy up the place before heading to bed.

My agenda for tomorrow is to sleep late.

Today will be a day filled with research. Chicago, gardening, and a few other topics...

Cleaning house and doing laundry

Cleaning house and doing laundry



Sounds like another day in paradise..........:giggle:

[FireSignFemme]

My son called and invited me to breakfast and who knows where after that. Probably to show me the inside of their house now that they have the keys. The weird thing is J isn't going with us. Which isn't a bad thing, it's just it's unusual since they both have the day off and J really likes going out to breakfast especially at the place we're going. Also we never go out to breakfast this early him and I, not unless we have an out of town medical appointment in which case we just grab some McDonald's before heading out. He sounded worried. Anyhow I'm trying not to read too much into it. Maybe he's just tired. In any case it will be nice to see him and spend a little time together today. Hey maybe the reason he sounds so stressed is they just found out she's pregnant. :)

[girl_dee]

change the water filters
finish some laundry
finish some tidying up
wait for our friend to arrive
hang out with my favorite person
start the week long celebration!

[Oklahomagal]

Reconnect with leigh after many month's
Clean cat box
Finish laundry
Make some pizza

[Orema]

Reading information about my city’s evaution plan, routes, and procedures. Just read an article on the horrendous fire in Paradise, CA (https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-camp-fire-deathtrap-20181230-story.html) and we’re in the midst of fire season. I need to know what to do in an evacuation.

I was evacuated from work a few years ago, but that was a neighborhood that was evacuated and not a city. I was worried, but that fire was nothing compared with others here in Cali.

I have two emergency kits, one in the house and one in the car, that are more 5 years old. So I know the contents need updating or replacing. Will do that soon, but today I’m reading about my city’s plans for disasters.

[easygoingfemme]

This morning was- take my daughter shopping for the clothes and other provisions she needs before going back to school on Wednesday.

Then was grocery shopping.

Now cooking up some food for the week.

Next, gym with my daughter to take a spin class together.

Then probably more chores to be on top of things before work tomorrow morning.

[Leigh]

Today is football day, that is all lol

[Orema]

Burn white sage a couple more times today without setting off the smoke alarm.

[candy_coated_bitch]

I already accomplished a lot of my agenda: wish journaling, new year's resolutions, tarot reading, relaxing.

Time to have wild and crazy times at home with my butch!

[kittygrrl]

working in mixed media, some calligraphy..coffee...no n.y. resolutions..i think i'm good:hangloose:

[JDeere]

Watching my teams bowl game.

Then watching the families team bowl game

Eat food and relax

[homoe]

Take down Christmas decorations, dust, vacuum, purge, run to the grocery store, post office & Starbucks!

[Gemme]

Today's going to be pretty quiet overall.

I slept late, had a lovely breakfast, played with the babies, solved a problem at work and watched a couple shows in the ole DVR already.

Next, I have a couple bank errands to run and I'm toying with running to B&N as they have 75% off holiday stuff. I don't want to deal with the traffic but I'm considering it. I'm also going to call and schedule a chiro appointment and an appointment with my favorite Geek tech as my printer is giving me problems again. It may be time to call it a day as I've had it for many, many years. The scanner still works but I can't print anything, so that's a problem.

:blink:

After I get home, I'll do a couple loads of laundry and some house chores and start to get back into reorganizing this place. Maybe some TV to relax at the end of the day and I'm going to really try to get a full night's sleep.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I have a drag show today... its the one year aniversary of my stepdown as Ms. Gay Olympia... SO... the agenda looks something like this....

Pick up and drop off current Ms. Gay Oly at her hotel

REST....HOT BATH....REST...

[homoe]

..
Today I will pour over the packs of pictures I picked up yesterday from Costco. I had duplicates made so I'll get a bundle together of some that I think my Chicago cohort might enjoy and get them ready to mail out Monday. I also have a couple of thank you notes I need to write out. I'd picked up a few items for my grandniece, who loves Chicago almost as much as I do, so hopefully I'll find a box to fit them and get that ready to mail out as well.

Not sure if I'll watch the Oscars live or just tape them and fast forward thru later.........:movieguy:

[JDeere]

Chatting later.......I love to talk to people! Luckily I am so very blessed with some really great friends...old & new!!

[easygoingfemme]

Work, and there's a jam packed day scheduled which will get more jammed up as the everyday stuff pops up between the cracks.

If I get out of work on time I'll scoot out to a board meeting that is optional for me but it's one I'd like to attend if I can get out of work in time to run home and take care of the animals and then scoot back out in rush hour traffic.... hmmm.

If I don't go to the board meeting I will come home, have a good workout, make some dinner, and maybe do something with my hair.

[homoe]

check online airfare rates, mail out a couple cards, go to the post office for stamps, start a new book, and nibble on a few pieces of See's......:eatinghersheybar:

[kittygrrl]

[Kenna]

Lots of chores for the next 5 days....to include hanging drywall, and several days of cleaning, pulling nails, drying, sanding and running vintage beadboard through a table saw to fix the broken tongue and grove parts that got busted when the previous owner did demo.
This is all depending on if the rain stops!

[homoe]

...
I've got places to go and people to see......bank, post office, grocery store, walmart, etc etc but first before any of that, a stop to meet up with our company for breakfast.....:eating:

[FireSignFemme]

Pay bills
Pick up a few sale items at Fiesta Foods
Hit Walmart - stock up on cleaning essentials
Tackle stack of dishes
Return library books
Run a load of laundry, probably bedding

[Gemme]

On my agenda: eat breakfast, get ready for the world and venture out into it, run some errands, pick up a few groceries, window shop a couple places, go back and forth on a big ticket item I want to purchase, lunch with the fur babies, clean the kitchen counter off, fight with the bathroom curtain rings and cut them off if I have to (need to switch liners and wash the curtain but they won't open), do a load of linens, tidy up in general and continue to work on organizational stuff in between playing with Loki and Gracie because every time I'm on the floor with papers surrounding me, they think it's playtime. :blink:

[clay]

I will do some things around the apartment to tidy up. I have some laundry to do but will do that over the weekend sometime..it isn't much!

When Hope decides to get out of bed...lazy butted thing...lol...take her out, feed her, then putz around more online.

This afternoon/evening some of my closest friends are treating me to Golden Corral. Look out fish, here I come & a baked tater.

Sunday my new BFF is coming down for a few hours before she goes to a party at her parents' house near me. She is so cool & has some interesting stories about life to share. I like hanging out with her! She has 2 CD players, that hold 300 CD's, has a keyboard attachment with it (But I can not play it) & some other attachments she is gifting me with 1 of them. I can load all my CD's & get rid of the shelf unit they are in now...:)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Attend a meeting where I will do my best to stay awake, buy an airline ticket, compile some notes, return three phone calls, buy groceries, take a nap, practice some Zentangle, play with the puppy and the kitty.

[RebelDyke]

Pete keeps crying for me to come back to bed, but today...I do have to get some adulting done.

I have been work avoidant the past few days trying to catch up on sleep missed thru the semester.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Art, Etsy, some light chores. Oh, the dreaded social media. Gotta get my word out there!

[Bèsame*]

I've been sewing belt loops on my pants, they be falling down!
Had lunch with a friend.

Now I'm enjoying the early evening with the sun still out. Some benefits of daylight saving time are worth it.

[Kenna]

Installing a transom window tomorrow
Finish sheetrock on 3 walls (halfway there)
Make a wooden platform (to seat a slab of granite, about the height of a coffee table) for my wood stove to prop on by cutting down solid oak Newell posts for the legs. (Got the posts for CHEAP. they should make perfect heavy duty legs for holding a wood stove)
Get the space ready for my hired help to hang sheetrock on ceiling
Take a muscle relaxer!

[candy_coated_bitch]

Art, Etsy, some light chores. Oh, the dreaded social media. Gotta get my word out there!

My agenda went real south today and also the art I created was garbage. Back to the drawing board tomorrow, literally.

[Gemme]

Work. House chores. Sleep.

Rinse, lather, repeat this weekend.

[easygoingfemme]

Work this morning/early afternoon. If all goes as planned I'm leaving early. It's supposed to be in the 60s this afternoon. I just want to go home and get my dog and go for a long long long walk in the sun.

[RockOn]

I am working lunch to help make up hours for doctor visits this week.

Then make it to five o'clock. I intend to sleep all weekend! Last night I slept through a tornado dancing in my County. Woke up this morning to several texts inquiring if the babies and I were okay. I think pain makes me extra tired. A lady at work received damage to her home last night but thank goodness everyone was safe.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Art--done.
Tarot--done.
Fill dishwasher.
Pen pal writing.
Binge watch Shrill.
Call doctor(s)--done.

What I need to do: continue to work on decluttering and reorganizing the entire house.

What I want to do: continue to sit in front of the computer, playing Solitaire and Mahjong.

Knowing how busy you are at work and all the massive exercise you get during inclement winter weather, I say it's an easy decision: Play your card games and Mahjong and fire up some movies (in the background) and get some R & R, while you can. You deserve it, Gemme.

<<<<<<<<---- relaxing tonight in the arcade (gotta see if I can win a better score while playing my favorite arcade games).

[easygoingfemme]

I'm dealing with a check engine light on/inspection due by end of month situation. I drove 100 miles this morning trying to re-set all the sensors but the light stayed on. (I only drive an average of 8 miles a day so every time I have to get my car inspected I have to do a long drive to cycle everything through) Stopped at Autozone to check the code and it's the Catalytic Converter. Went to my mechanic to get a quote. They said they would call me with it. On my way out, one of my regular mechanics was like pssst c'mere. He whispered at me to go get some Cataclean and drive 20 miles, re-fuel, empty my tank driving and come back. He seemed to think that would fix my problem. I really hope it does because the quote was $1,400 and that's not funny. So I've spent a lot of time today driving.

I have now hung up my driving hat. Had a quick workout to get out some angst. It is now time for weekend cooking and cleaning and then time with my spouse tonight.

I hope that works, easy. Every now and then, my tranny starts feeling wonky and I put Lucas' Stops Slips Transmission Fix in and she's good as new. My car's a 2003 and I've driven cross country 3 times, so she's been places and done things.

I'm not sure what year your car is, but if it's more seasoned like mine, keep in mind the catalytic converters can be made with precious metals and are worth something. My coworker replaced hers and found out 2 months later that her car was worth more broke down with the original catalytic converter in it than running with a brand new one it.

To be thread compliant, my agenda is to watch some TV, play online and basically waste time until I get tired and go to bed. Eventually, the cat boxes will be cleaned as well.

Thank you! So far, the engine light is still out. Have to empty the tank, re-fill, drive some more, and test it with the mechanic. Fingers crossed.

[easygoingfemme]

I've been up cooking since early this morning. We're having a big Irish lunch with a friend, paired with an afternoon of playing board games. I made a big batch of Boxty with two toppings. One of smoked fish, and another of sauteed mushrooms and a whiskey gravy.

After that, we're coming home to take care of animals and then heading out to see the Indigo Girls.

Happy day!

[Gemme]

My main agenda is to stay awake until bed time.

I got about a third of my bermuda grass sprayed with my mixture of vinagar, salt and Dawn dish washing lotion. The Dawn makes it stick to the grass. I mowed it short yesterday late. I am killing all my bermuda grass in my yards. It will come back next year. Takes forever to mow the lawns having to sit down every 8 minutes and prop up my legs for a few.

Washed my back brace.

Sat in a chair in the front yard and used my shot gun to do a liitle practice ... shot towards the ground at piles of pinestraw mulch that I raked up over a year ago. I was busy pulling logs out of the woods and would have already been rid of the mulch a little later ... but got the harsh awakening to quit logging. I believe I will be able to go on bag it and haul it to garbage this fall.

My neighbor sent me a photo of a snake she killed today in her front yard. I was hoping to stir up one out of the piles of pine straw mulch with my shots today. I am begging for excitment. Do you hear me? She got her excitment today ... why not me??? LOL!

[homoe]

....
My sleep schedule always gets a bit wonky after flying and spending several days in a different time zone.....it's 3 a.m. and here I sit wide awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed.......which is a shame because it's WAY to early to do any of the things on my agenda today......

Drop off film at Costco, run to the bank, and stop at the post office. I guess while I'm waiting for those places to open I could unpack, throw in a load or two of laundry, and play online!

[easygoingfemme]

Run to work early to grab signed eviction papers and drop them to the eviction center.
Grab co-worker and head to city for a homelessness support services symposium.
Back to the office to see what all has gone down in my absence and get ready for house meeting.
Facilitate said house meeting.
Go out for drink with my case manager because We. Have. Had.A.Week.
Home
Possibly work out after getting home. We shall see.

[homoe]

..

Off to the post office to mail out a "care package" to my grandniece as well as a card with photos to a friend in Chicago. A quick trip into Walmart. A stop at Central Market in Poulsbo for Mary's meds. Pick up meats at Albertson for supper. There may or may not be a stop included at Starbucks....

[chai~]

I took a quickie metal smith class in February and have been making lovely sterling silver rings. At first the torch scared the shit out of me, but I love watching the solder rise up into the join space. Very satisfying and I love the look of the stacking rings. So today, I am in the mood to make a bunch of toe rings, summer is coming quickly and I want some new bling!

[Bèsame*]

It was a glorious start, no alarm! That's what vacations are made for!

[Kenna]

As soon as it warms up tomorrow, bathe and trim 2 dirty dogs.

[Bèsame*]

I have been using my interior design skills the past few days. I've re arranged furniture and have hung many (over 35, like the whole new townhome)pictures.

Tomorrow, it's making new door wreaths and visiting the jeweler.

[Bèsame*]

First, happy to take a day off! I'm in the middle of fashion show chaos and Easter outfits! Oh, wait, Mother's day is around the corner. If I can survive that, I'll have a vacation waiting for me.

Today, new kitty and I went to see a new vet. In my previous vet experiences, those kitties did not like the ride. This kitty was a piece of cake!

Next, I have a little straightening up around here, and some errands. I'm looking for a teal/peacock chalk paint color. Going to give my rocking chair a makeover. I have found the perfect piece of floral linen to cover the seat.

Looks like rain this afternoon...no car wash in the future.

[Tommi]

I turned on the "Deebot" roomba and went out to do yard work. I attacked the spring garden with the electric hedge trimmer. Geraniums were so leggy they were trying to walk away. Down to the ground again. Relocated one of the fragrant lavender's to the back yard. Lipstick sage that the humming birds love, have been weed whacked back to cleanliness. The 15 year old ficus,( I received when I was in the hospital that long ago) looked all straggly, and has a new haircut. Now, after some tea n honey, back out to fill the yard waste container. :tea:

As the world turns, Dee the Bot just passed by and looks happy. All is well at Casa South. :typewriter: I smell of dirt and flowers, and the cats woke up long enough to see DeeBot and are ignoring us.

[JDeere]

Text with my younger half sisters and talk crap on the older half sisters!

I know it sounds horrible but that's how we roll! I guess with family things are different.

[Bèsame*]

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. I opened the back door and all the windows.

I started to spring clean, first, with the warm winter clothes out of the closet and under the bed in storage boxes.

Pretty new highlights were added to my hair.

Planted some pink geraniums out on the balcony.

Did the mundane laundry routine..😖
(all with the soundtrack of the 80's, in the background)

Next I'm out to the kitchen for Easter dinner for one and to make Asparagus quiche for lunches next week.

[Plaidandroses]

If I'm ambitious, laundry and other chores. If I'm not, napping and procrastinating... Guess we'll see which side wins. :D

[Orema]

Return another air fryer I bought. I really don't have the room for it and I can't find one I like.

[homoe]

Much needed spring cleaning, going thru closet, drawers, cupboards, etc. then on to either filing or shredding TONS of paperwork!

Resting.........

[Gemme]

I'm still working on my painting project but it's not coming out exactly as I'd hoped so I have to go and get a couple things today that will help me finish it up. I also need to go get canned cat food or Loki might eat me for dinner instead. A quick trip to the bank as well and it's back home and to work.

It's breakfast and paid work and then more fun work on my project. I'm close to finishing the painting. This is the chance I took with a roadside find but I think it will wind up working out with a little more love.

[theoddz]

On my agenda today is another visit to the Orthopaedic surgeon to discuss another revision surgery to my right knee (this time). I need to have the plastic/composite (cartilage substitute) disc replaced and some debridement and radiation done to discourage long term bone growth over the prosthetic appliance.

This will be, in the overall scheme of things, my 8th surgery on my knee(s), since 1987.

Wake up- check
Feed all of the freeloading animals- check
Coffee- check
Work out- check
Shower/dress/gussy up- check
Work and survive the experience- currently working on
Tonight- start grief counseling through Hospice
Go tuck nephews into bed
Go home and tuck myself into bed.

[easygoingfemme]

My agenda got hijacked and re-routed several times in mostly positive ways.

I woke up with a day ahead of me that was mine to decide upon.

I woke up with grief heavy on my chest making it hard to breathe right.

I drank coffee, I showered, I mowed the lawn, I ate half of a sandwich.

I got out on my bike with intentions of a good long ride. But the grief was so heavy on my chest that it was hard to breathe through it so I took the ride I could and told myself I was doing the best I can right now and I cut it short.

I came home and wandered around ADD style trying to decide what chore to do but nothing felt right.

The sun was out and it's beautiful and my mother and I have been having a really hard time deciding what to do for mother's day five weeks after my brother/her son dying. We are both having a really hard time doing anything that is "normal" around other people who don't know what is going on. I called her to see if she wanted to go to a green house to get some flowers and plant some gardens. She told me that she woke up wanting to do a garden with me. An herb garden that we share. (We live down the road from each other) So we did. I got us a really nice rustic barrel and we got basil and cilantro, lavender, and rosemary and thyme and dill and marigolds to keep the bugs away. We planted together. It was healing. It helped today.

I feel a little better now. A few more chores and reading on the porch for me tonight.

[Gemme]

I woke up with long list of stuff to do and by the middle of the day, my agenda had simply been reduced to just getting through the day. Thankfully, that was successful.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Drink my coffee
Shower
Grocery pick-up
Go to the movies

Trying for a restful day.:sunglass:

[homoe]

...

Laundry, ironing, firming up an itinerary, the list goes on and on......

[Gemme]

It's back to the painting project. I'm kind of leery about it because I messed it up before and don't want to make it worse but I've got to do something about it because I can't work on the other stuff until this part is done. Onward and upward!

[MsTinkerbelly]

Get up
Remember my heart is broken
Curl up into a ball and cry

[JDeere]

Laundry
My pooch is stinky so bath time
Then take her to get her nails cut

[Blade]

Maybe take the trash off. That's probably all I will have the energy for.

[Blade]

Vet to pick up pup meds
Take a trash bag off
Wash dishes I destroyed the kitchen last night
Rest some I didnt rest much yesterday as directed to at my check up

[homoe]

..
It's payday so.......

Trip to my bank for some green backs, run into the post office for a couple of their shipping boxes & check to see who's all sent me fan letters, time to get a INR reading so a visit to the Anticoagulation Clinic, grab the few things at the grocery store still needed, then return home to rest up for a day trip tomorrow to Tacoma!

[homoe]

A day trip over to Port Townsend WA......:carride:

Take pup to groomer
Post offer job paperwork
Pick up pup from groomer
Return an item to Burlington

Today is pretty much over for me so all I have to do is prep myself, the babies and the house for bed and to go to sleep.

Tomorrow I plan on hitting the gym, doing some shopping in a few stores, having a big ole burger with fries for lunch to counterbalance the gym thing, stopping at the bank and UPS and trying a new painting project. I also expect to work on organizational stuff but I'm not sure how far I'll get.

[homoe]

...
Not much of anything!

[FireSignFemme]

Sewing poorly again, I was better at this when I was nine. Argue back and forth with myself, some more, about whether or not I should attempt to bathe Monte myself to save some money. Research carpet cleaners. When I went to hire it out they wanted 70 bucks for just the front room and the hall and this place is dinky. It's only about ½ hours work if even that. And since they'll be ripping out the carpet anyway as part of the remodeling project going on that quote wasn't even for the whole living room, just the main walkways. Budget steam cleaner models are under 130 dollars and Walmart even has one on sale right now for 99 bucks that isn't rated too bad. Or J has a friend I could borrow one from. However then she'll want to do it and I don't want to argue with her about how she's all tough and only pregnant, not disabled. I have to put up berries today before they go bad which will make me think about buying a freezer I can't afford right now. Which will leave me day dreaming and lead to me killing some time researching them online so when the time comes I'll be ready for someday.

Today is pretty much over for me so all I have to do is prep myself, the babies and the house for bed and to go to sleep.

Tomorrow I plan on hitting the gym, doing some shopping in a few stores, having a big ole burger with fries for lunch to counterbalance the gym thing, stopping at the bank and UPS and trying a new painting project. I also expect to work on organizational stuff but I'm not sure how far I'll get.

Well, I never made it to the gym but I did lug furniture around so that's something. I did get the shopping done and even wound up not spending a penny at Michael's. Thank goodness for gift cards! I had the burger and fries for breakfast and got new paint (but didn't start that project yet) and started working on the organizational stuff. The place is starting get back in shape!

[cinnamongrrl]

This morning: gym and breakfast with my honey

Later: we’re going to our first ever Renaissance fair!!

[tantalizingfemme]

Going to the store later and buying some cotton balls to go with the 100% acetone I bought yesterday. I am going to soak off my gel manicure. I realized I have been getting manicures for over 10 years without ever giving my nails a break. Today's the day! I am looking forward to wearing natural nails but kind of scared to see the damage under the gel.

[JDeere]

Time with family for dads day.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

All the stuff I've been ignoring for over a week while I worked on a big project. After I get some sleep, which I haven't been able to achieve yet.

[Lecheloco]

Nothing for the most part, just laundry and waiting for my new bed to arrive
Mainly enjoying my day off

[JDeere]

Trying to acclimate myself to my job hours.

Later is laundry
Then cleaning my room and bathroom

[RebelDyke]

testing a client

then off to a service call. (leaky sink supply line)

haha two extremely different tasks... nothing like a little diversity in my life i suppose

[Glenn]

My yearly medical exam and blood-work is the main thing on my agenda today. I know the drill-
Doc:"You stink. You are still smoking cigars!"
Me: "Is that so?" :blink:

My doc is locally re-known as a teacher/professor at the university, and as the author of some 666 creepy medical thrillers, I enjoyed reading. The books are about the ramifications of isolating a gene that causes violent behavior. Otherwise, I'll do my best to avoid him like the plague for another year.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

So far today, I have scanned and emailed stacks of documents and helped our new president fill out her expense reports. For the rest of today, I will order office supplies, get my paycheck from last week fixed (because it was wrong), and fill out our old president's expense reports (the new one hasn't figured out yet that she could just ask me to do it).

[JDeere]

Finish paperwork for my job and then go to orientation.

[Gemme]

I've done most of what I wanted to today but still have some laundry to do, clearing out the dishwasher, some chores and more painting before I'm done. I also need to figure out what I'm having for lunch.

Seriously, it's hard to resist. It's so much fun to poke people just to see what they'll do.

[easygoingfemme]

Right now I'm listening to the rain and Paul Simon Graceland album while I drink coffee and get ready for work.

My morning will be busy with Section 8 inspections and a new move in. Then it's a lot of paperwork and quarterly reports that are due.

After work I'm making dinner for my parents. We usually go to my Sister in law's house on Friday for dinner with her and my nephews but my nephews have a birthday party tonight. I don't want to leave my parents alone. They aren't doing so well. So I'll go there and cook and stay to play cards for a while.

Happy Friday

Today I was showing off my pie making skills..
I made a chocolate cream🍫 and a coconut cream pie🥥

[easygoingfemme]

So far have accomplished:

Up, worked out, shower, dressed, breakfast, coiled up the hose left out last night for campfire night, catch up on emails.

Next- bike riding lesson for my friend's daughter.
followed by
Movie date with my nephew
followed by
Stream tonights Dead and company show while enjoying the beauty of my back yard with a glass of wine.

Hope you all have a good day!

[homoe]

Going to check out Bainbridge's Pride....:LGBTQFlag:

[theoddz]

Today, we're going on base (Ft. Hood) to pick up some things we need at the PX and Commissary. We'll probably grab a bite to eat while there. They have some pretty good Chinese/Thai short order spots in their food court.

The rest of the day, we're going to be catching up on some chores and yard work that we need to get done before my 9th knee surgery (revison on right knee) on Tuesday. They'll be resurfacing my knee cap, checking the stability of the prosthetic and replacing the plastic disc that's between the two metal prosthetic "ends". This should have been done about 3-5 years ago, but I've been lucky and have gotten some extra long wear out of the original piece. I'll be glad to get that behind me. It *should* be an "easier" surgery than the original total knee replacements I had done in 2007 and 2008. I also weigh significantly less now than I did then, so that should help. :winky:

~Theo~ :bouquet:

[Gemme]

Good luck with the surgery, Theo!

Today is half over with me not having done much at all. I'm a little sad about that but I really needed the sleep so it was worth it.

Left to do is some color washing. Several coats throughout the day. I think I can start the top coat on this piece Tuesday if everything goes well today. I finally found the perfect combination and the top of the dresser looks like a stormy sky. It wasn't what I imagined initially but it's far more interesting than my original vision.

Trying to stay awake to acclimate my body to my new work hours.

This is gonna be tough.

[easygoingfemme]

We have been under HUD inspection all week. Today is my day in the hot seat all day. I know I run a solid program but it's still stressful.

My after work treat on my agenda, hopefully, is driving about an hour to get to the bike shop where I am receiving my new bike. They said it "should be ready" today, if not, tomorrow. I'm riding Tour de Pink in the fall to raise money for the young cancer survivor coalition. Because I'm a survivor I was able to apply for one of the bikes they were giving away and I was selected. I'm so excited. My road bike is about 16 years old and, I take good care of it, but it has seen a lot of road...

[Gemme]

Today is going to be busy because I've dragged my hiney the past two days I had off. I have errands to run early this morning and then I need to get a bunch of stuff done at home. I'll also do some grocery shopping and send a gift to a friend. Sometime today, I should get my latest Amazon purchase. Between account credits and my percentage back credit, it only cost me $3 and change!

[Bèsame*]

Well, it's a day off, with no alarm. And I've been lounging around for awhile.
However....

There is a dental re-do appt in about an hour. Not happy about that, grrrr. Perhaps I can get a credit for my time? It's worth a try..lol

And then after that, I've been invited to happy hour. That's about time I'll be full fledged novocaine. Oh drool! Not cute. Lol. I'll master the straw with a cool creamy summer drink:)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I had a pile of stuff on my agenda today, and although I did not quite get it all done, I did enough that I am pretty proud of myself:
- work stuff, enough that I only have one thing to do tomorrow
- changed litterboxes
- dug up rhizomes to take to my mom for her garden
- washed towels and clothes
- watched the Braves game
- washed dishes and loaded the dishwasher
- took the trash out
- cleaned off the kitchen table

Tomorrow, I have to:
- pack to go to my mom's this weekend
- dry clothes
- wrap some birthday gifts
- go to work and do that one thing I have left
- attend a "so sorry you're leaving us for another job and don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out" luncheon
- grocery shop on the way to my mom's

WHENAFTER, I can sleep and visit with my mom all weekend!

[easygoingfemme]

That is awesome! YOU are so deserving of this new bike! This makes my heart smile!! YOU>ARE>AMAZING!

Thank you! I picked it up yesterday. It's so beautiful. I was afraid it was going to be pink because it's a breast cancer thing but it's not. It's white and teal. I just need to get pedals on it today. The pedals on my old bike are on so tight I can't get them off. After wishing I had a rent-a-butch to help last night I borrowed my next door neighbor teen boy basketball player and he couldn't get them off either. One way or another I'm riding my new bike this weekend...

[JDeere]

Laundry and sleep!

[easygoingfemme]

Bike ride out to my favorite historic Dutch farm. Check.
Mow lawn- Check
Next up- miniature golf with a friend.
Then home- possibly a night of playing cards with my parents.

YVW! I meant every word.

I wondered too if it would be pink..etc. BUT teal & white are amazing colors...

Get some Liquid Wrench & spray a tiny bit on the pedals...should come right off....let set for a hot minute after spraying though..:)

LOL@ Rent A Butch...I could help get them off if I were there...alas I am here...lol

Have a wonderful ride. I LOVE that grit & determination & resolve you have. YOU! GOT! THIS! my friend!!

I forgot to update! I took my bike to work with me- the one I needed the pedals off of, and handed it to my work husband. He got them off for me :)

[C0LLETTE]

I'm watching Women's World Cup Soccer... the best, most exciting, high skill sport out there...bar none...no padding, no time outs to drink the sponsor's "high energy sports drinks" for the camera, no useless time-outs for "Dodge Ram" truck ads , no-one carried off the field with a fake injuries...just incredible skill and pure adrenaline.

All those women are just amazing athletes and I don't care what country they represent, I just love that sport and all who play it so well...this really is WOW stuff.
BTW, I can't be bothered to watch the men play....lol. Well at least until they pay those incredible women as much as those men.

[JDeere]

Let's see...

Errands
Movie later
Then sleep

[easygoingfemme]

Bike ride in the morning.

Then... I have a day that is mine to do with what I want! I'm caught up on chores. I need to return some books to the library and will likely pick up a fresh stack. I missed watching the sun set last night because I went over to visit my parents so I will be sure to catch it tonight. I hadn't realized how much of a ritual that had become until I was realizing I was going to miss it last night and it tugged at me hard.

That and some general- get ready for the work week stuff.

Happy Sunday!

[Gemme]

I put the first layer of sealant on my dresser this morning. It's super textured so it'll take several layers to make sure it's properly covered. I'll be done with that by tomorrow night plus cure time.

So, I have a half day at work and a movie to watch tonight but other than that, it'll be a fairly relaxed day.

[easygoingfemme]

Okay game changer. I've been waiting since 6am for the rain to stop so I can go ride my bike. It's not just rain, I'd ride in that. But this is thunder and lightning downpour. So I've been puttering around the house. Every time I check the weather report more rain is reported every hour. I'm considering today a literal wash in the bike riding world.

So I'm headed out soon to errands and the library and then hope to have a good book to snuggle up with on my back porch for the rest of the day.

[Kätzchen]

I am still unpacking boxes from moving my entire household and came across my boxes of crafting supplies. So, i thought since the winter holidays will be here soon (ish), that i would get a few ideas for certain projects formulated, then spend the month of July working on them.

Entertaining, fun stuff to get started on today. :balloon:

[tantalizingfemme]

Already ran out and got my vehicle washed inside and out, stopped at Staples, Harvest Market, and Acme and am home finishing laundry, and homework. Need to make plant-based mozzarella, Italian sausage and tomato sauce for mini pizzas for dinner and am later seeing Roseanne Cash with some friends at Longwood Gardens tonight. Very excited.

[Bèsame*]

The dental saga continues, but with some really amazing customer service today.

Last night my temp bridge came out and I immediately thought of work today. How could the SM look like a hill billy?? I called the emergency hot line and my sweet dentist texted me back with in 10 min. We set up an appointment at the office before work and I was in and out in 15 min. Amazing for a Sunday morning!

Then alas, I went to work and made great sales $$ with my pretty smile !

[cathexis]

Food shopping. Finally getting some tasty food in the cupboards and fridge.

Hoorah, hoorah the ebt is in!

[easygoingfemme]

Work- and survive the experience.
Go shopping for ingredients to cook my father a birthday dinner tomorrow night.
Home- either a bike ride- depending on when I get home- or work out at home.
Watch the sunset.
Sleep.

[JDeere]

Sleep some more
Shower
Eat dinner
Go to work on the night shift

[Chad]

I worked 5 hours
Now at the Orthopedic Surgeon
Doc will determine the rest of my day.

I got a steroid shot in my shoulder and a prescription for physical therapy. Exactly what I wanted. Yay!

[Orema]

Get out of work as early as possible.

[Princess]

On my agenda, work for a few hours while spamming the threads here with my non sense. After this, I'll be hanging out with Harlow. Food prep to make tomorrow a little easier and then a trip to the fireworks stand.

And then the 3rd season of stranger Things, I'll be binging on that all night!

[candy_coated_bitch]

Relax with Jedi and my parents and spend time in the river. Agenda achieved!

[JDeere]

Get a bit of sleep

Go to my sisters house

[Orema]

– Get the femme cave ready for the carpet cleaners coming tomorrow
– Shop for a quilting kit
– Do an hour or so of some office work
– Binge watch season 4 of Queen Sugar
– Read another chapter from my granddaughter
– Count my lucky stars

[kittygrrl]

having coffee..then yoga

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Alas, no celebrating - but will be binge watching Aggretsuko on Netflix, followed by laundry, and a nice long nap. Will probably make a stir fry for dinner, so lots of vegetable chopping.

[easygoingfemme]

Morning bike ride- check. It was a hot one!
Toodle around the house- check.
Now off to grocery shop and then take my parents to the movies. We are going to see Yesterday.

[candy_coated_bitch]

More family time, more river time, more Jedi time, a cookout with the best veggie burgers I've ever had, and hitting up a family fire with s'mores tonight.

[JDeere]

Taking a huge risk

Driving out of state further than normal this time

[easygoingfemme]

If I can get my stuff together:
Workout before going to work.
Make a salad to go with dinner.
Followed by:
Work- which could end being everything and anything.
Drink lots of water (It's so hot at work)
Home- take care of animals
Go to Sister in Law's house for dinner with her and Nephews. They were away last week and I missed them like crazy.

[Princess]

Well, I woke up. That was number one.

After work I have a few errands to run. Head to the bank and pay some bills. Then maybe some shopping. My little asked for a new dress and she's been pretty good this week.

Later, making dinner and more stranger things.

[cathexis]

Walking the patio, up one flight and down the other several times daily. Legs building back, bit by bit.
Also, a little historical geology discordance research for this area. Canadian Shield- granite probably won't be too fruitful.
Take an auto tour of nearby areas of the Adirondacks.

If all goes as planned, it'll be an educating and fun time.

[kittygrrl]

partyZO_YmLbHTc8tonight..wanna come?

[FireSignFemme]

Continue researching bathroom storage and front room window treatment options.

Empty/load dishwasher, been dragging my feet on that one.

Push fluids.

Watch the news.

One more round of laser tag for Monte.

And to think growing up my mother threatened one day I'd have too much fun, get myself in trouble with the law and wind up in prison. Yeah mi vida loca mom, mi vida loca.

[clay]

I picked up a very heavy "object" a couple days ago, my right shoulder/arm has been very painful, with muscle spasms...saw PCP yesterday, got xrays, & ortho referral, and an IM pain injection.

Icing shoulder today, resting in sling the weekend.....

FUN! FUN! FUN! doing everything LEFT handed...NOT!

I need help...lol

[RockOn]

detailed the interior of my truck and windexed all windows ... want to wash it today or tomorrow

will be digging fencepost holes on and off ... that is slow work when I have to sit on the ground and use a small hand shovel and go 2 feet deep ... and it is hot as fuck ... oh, can I say that here? LOL!

also want to throw away some things on the back patio, clean it and make the dogs a soft place to lie on ... putting a large powerful fan out there too for them ... they want to be outside with me while I am working but all 3 abort the idea and want to go in when they have only been outside 15 minutes ... it is brutal and I have to really watch Kevie Daniel ... he has that short snoot and could die in this heat ... haul some little logs down the the front to the pile ... plus I cut down an enormous shrub yesterday ... put it on the pile too, else Jeffrey will have it strewn all over the backyard

[easygoingfemme]

I woke up at 5:30 to take a bike ride before it was too hot but even at that hour it was already a swamp. So I did a little bit of quiet yard work instead.

Next, went to my credit union for some financial planning and that went very well.

Next ran around in the 100 degree weather - with no air conditioning in my car- going to a few shelters to pick up cots that I took to my work to set up a cooling/sleeping room in our yoga studio, one of the few rooms that has air conditioning. Ran around collecting the most elderly/compromised of the residents and shuffled them down to cool off.

Then was errands to get things to send my daughter a fun package for her birthday, including supplies to bake and decorate a cake and rainbow party napkins and plates.

Now I have a couple more errands and then will hopefully be home for the rest of the day trying to cool off.

[Princess]

Helping my sister move. Then I remembered Harlow and i were invited to a bbq tonight. Not sure if were gonna make it.
My nap was not on the agenda today but it wiggled in there.

[Gemme]

Food, check
Laundry, load in dryer and load in washer, almost check
Sweep kitchen and bathroom, check
Vacuum, TBD
Work on craft room, TBD
Go through more clothes for donation, TBD

[homoe]

Making a H U G E list of stuff to buy Monday...

[cathexis]

1) Order the post SSDI check household dry goods, food, and some luxuries from e-bay, vitacost, and Amazon online for Prime delivery. Oh, can't forget the cat food, probably from Chewy's. Lots of price comparing. I am the child of Jewish parents who grew up in the Depression. Learned to squeeze a penny until it bleeds. lol

2) 45 min.tidy. Apt needs more, but we're building up to that. lol again

3) Order ethnobotanical herbs and roots online

4) Then go to old fogey Bingo at the Senior Center with Partner's mom who is moving out of state soon to live near rich daughter. Yeah! Hope the nosy mom likes this large city. Worried, mom has never lived in a city or even left. wee village for anything other than a nearby doctor's appt.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Pack up my stuff, go home. Love on the kitty. Have a nice takeout dinner with Jedi. Relax and enjoy being home.

[Princess]

After work I have to move a few things to storage and pick up groceries.

Thennnn make something for dinner and take care of the kidlet.

Maybe some Netflix before bed.

Sequim and Port Angeles WA

[Princess]

Meetings and meetings and meetings.

Going to stop by Kohls to make a few returns

[GeorgiaMa'am]

[kittygrrl]

[GeorgiaMa'am]

My agenda is blown for the day. Came into the office and the internet and phones are down. Guess I will straighten up my office a little bit and then putter around. The IT guy has gone to a store that is 15 miles away through Atlanta traffic for a part that will supposedly fix things.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Walk the dog
Feed the dog
Make coffee
Drink coffee outside in the forest

I know there will be adulting I can’t avoid later, but isn’t that a lovely start to a beautiful day? :tea:

[Amulette]

I'm waiting on UPS, they will be here "by the end of the day". Sigh. So I'm :
Cleaning this
Playing
Cleaning that
Playing

and on and on..... I have to admit that I do love it when they bring it right to my door though!

[FireSignFemme]

-General housework
-Clean/organize fridge/freezer
-Portion control foods for freezer
-Quick trip to Fred Meyer
-Finish cleaning bathroom
-Brush and lint roll Monte
-Cross fingers, hope, then bid on Ebay stuff
-Walk to get mail in this cursed heat
-Bake something
-Make ahead/freeze some burritos
-Laundry
-Watch a movie, read, do crossword puzzles, play Yahtzee against myself, sew or – just force myself to get up and do something, anything, other than sit here staring at the computer for hours and hours. It feels like I'm developing what, if left unchecked, could easily become a bad habit and I don't want to have to need to implement a 12 step program around this anytime soon. That's for sure.

[Apocalipstic]

Work, then maybe a nap

[Kätzchen]

Hurry up, tonight, and finish a homemade birthday card for my new elderly butch friend, so I can give it to her, tomorrow.


Traffic was so effing horrible today, it took over 3 hours to get home, after being on the 'go' since 4:30 am; and that was by train and bus. I plan to fall into bed and sleep until … whenever I feel like getting up, tomorrow.

Then after I get up, tomorrow, it's a manicure, then get the tires rotated on my car and get an alignment for the car too.

Sunday, I plan on staying in bed.... sleeping. I'm so exhausted I need to get some rest..... even if it's staying in bed, all day long.

[easygoingfemme]

Bike ride

Dinner and movie with my parents

[Amulette]

I pulled EVERYTHING out of my kitchen cupboards and am cleaning. Actually, I am refocusing what I want to do cooking wise. I'm trying to make my kitchen space more conducive to dietary changes I want to make. I found some really fun turquoise colored glass canning jars and bought what my budget allowed.

I've let go of many items that I have not used in awhile and the rest are sitting in my dinning room. Sigh. I have started collecting stoneware clay pots for cooking. I have a wonderful tangine and now am looking for some smaller clay pieces to cook on the stove-top with. I found some Korean clay pots can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees. I thought that was impressive.

So far this is my goal:

* more space for making all things herbal
* only ingredients that support my health needs (chocolate stays)
* only cooking pots, machines, gadgets and utensils that I use
* grouping and organizing things for ease of use
* It has to be pretty

SO there we have it, and I notice I am writing involved posts rather that beginning the put it back together phase. Sigh, more coffee, coffee stays.

SO there we have it, and I notice I am writing involved posts rather that beginning the put it back together phase. Sigh, more coffee, coffee stays.

I agree, chocolate is a must......:eatinghersheybar:

[easygoingfemme]

I pulled EVERYTHING out of my kitchen cupboards and am cleaning. Actually, I am refocusing what I want to do cooking wise. I'm trying to make my kitchen space more conducive to dietary changes I want to make. I found some really fun turquoise colored glass canning jars and bought what my budget allowed.

I've let go of many items that I have not used in awhile and the rest are sitting in my dinning room. Sigh. I have started collecting stoneware clay pots for cooking. I have a wonderful tangine and now am looking for some smaller clay pieces to cook on the stove-top with. I found some Korean clay pots can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees. I thought that was impressive.

So far this is my goal:

* more space for making all things herbal
* only ingredients that support my health needs (chocolate stays)
* only cooking pots, machines, gadgets and utensils that I use
* grouping and organizing things for ease of use
* It has to be pretty

SO there we have it, and I notice I am writing involved posts rather that beginning the put it back together phase. Sigh, more coffee, coffee stays.

Projects like this are so good for the spirit. Enjoy!

It is rain and thunderstorms all day, and while normally i would absolutely LOVE this kind of a day... it is going to make me wanna take naps.... all day.

So, I guess there goes:
syllabus, syllabus checks, ice breaker, letter of reference for a student, homework, and unpacking.

[Bèsame*]

Trying to find something to wear to survive this heat advisory day!

I already decided on lunch, left over egg foo young.

Psst...I did contemplate some sweet and sour, but opted for shrimp rolls😉

My boss is in a meeting elsewhere on campus, so . . . my first task is to eat a lovely chocolate-chocolate chip muffin, at my leisure.

Then, get down to work:
- deposit checks
- type minutes from last week
- arrange some travel to Lexington, VA; Bethlehem, PA; Conway, AR; and Danville, KY.
- edit a document
- then, to grocery store (before I eat lunch - dangerous, I know)
- and, home for a late lunch and a nap
- play with the doggy
- make dinner
- laundry
- take doggy out
- sleep!

I have nothing substantial planned although I did empty and fill the dishwasher.

[FireSignFemme]

1. See shrink for 3 month supply of medication refill slip - Done
2. Take happy pill in front of watching me like a hawk to ensure compliance, over zealous because this is her first home care license ever, DIL to be - Done
3. Do dishes I hid in oven so I didn't have to unload the clean dishes from the dishwasher and load it with the dirty ones before Ms. Worrying Too Much About Contamination, things you can't even catch from dirty dishes, arrives to smile about me having played house beautiful and washing them all up in a timely fashion - Done
4. Rejoice and thank the Universe for, happy surprise, nurse supervisor calling to apologize for receptionist screwing up and booking me for exam when insurer will now only pay for gynecology check every two years instead of one - Work still in progress. This joy might last awhile
5. Celebrate being able to get out of these stuffy clothes and into bum around more comfortable ones much sooner than expected due to no longer having to go in and get infiltrated.
6. Re-pack moving boxes in the front room. I was going to re-pack one by one all the stuff in my crummy boxes into the regulation size nice ones they've provided free of charge/are demanding. However it just occurred to me – why. All I have to do is take the already packed full crummy ones, stick them into the much nicer regulation sized ones, tape them closed and voilà! Much, much easier.
7. Have some drunch. This comes when it's too early for dinner, yet way past the time you'd normally have lunch. I've missed breakfast and lunch both and my morning snack plus I haven't had all of my four cups of coffee with half and half yet, just two it's been that busy. I'm famished.
8. Make dessert - lightly sweetened with Truvia whipped cream with mashed up canned fruit, pineapple and mandarin orange segements, folded in.
9. And last but not least, window shop online for nice, affordable things I'll be needing for myself and the grandkids in the new place.

Which food trucks did y'all try?

[Mopsie]

It's Saturday... so... anything I want! :cheesy:

Update:

Anything I wanted turned out to be a very long nap (I did not sleep very well at the group home), watching movies, doing laundry, and looking at recipes on Pinterest.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Which food trucks did y'all try?

I had a falaffel sandwich from Holyoke Hummus Co., three pierogies from I forget the name, and a salted caramel whoopie pie from a local pub. Jedi had a lobster roll and pierogies. We had a glass of wine and a beer respectively. It was really good but I wish our stomachs were bigger! So much I wanted to try.

[candy_coated_bitch]

All that's left on my agenda--wait for a baby to arrive!!!

I got my lobster roll. We tried some fabulous pierogies. CCB had a falafel and salted caramel whoopie pie as well. We also had a drink at the beer and wine tent. I did see fist sized meatballs but didn't try them. We met a lot of dogs too. The festival was great and we wore ourselves out. I can't wait til next year.

Our HR/Business Manager is back from maternity leave, and suddenly I have TWICE as much to do, not HALF as I expected. I have:
- my regular work
- other people's regular work
- special projects for my boss
- projects I got "volunteered" for at yesterday's staff meeting.

After all that (or four hours, whichever comes first), I will:
- go home and eat leftover Chinese
- take the doggie out
- get in a nap
- have some dinner
- read a book (well, listen on audio)

[kassykit]

Today

I have work to do. I have to do a lecture and get some work done on my dissertation.

I also have a doctors appointment to learn to use my new CGM. which WITH copays cost me over 300 bucks so i Really do NOT wanna fuck it up!

[easygoingfemme]

Grocery shopping- check
Work- halfway through
Therapy
Home to feed animals

Cook dinner for family dinner tomorrow
Cook a couple of extra soups to bring to my sister in law for backup since she goes back to work next week.
Sunset- will likely overlap with cooking time so I'll run in and out.

Prepping for the next 4 days off work!

Before I leave work today I have to hit Costco and the gas station and then I'm heading home early to start knocking down my list <3

[RebelDyke]

Well...for now prepping for class.... this miscellaneous things that popped up along the day so far...

-telling everyone happy Friday! (hehe. the Rebel in me)
-impromptu psychology meeting for the undergraduate students
-being asked for a letter of reference from a student
-being asked to help another student with their research project
-some interoffice reimbursement form issues

three guesses who is truly being work avoidant today!! (the first two guesses do not count!)

Later
NAP TIME! HAPPY FRIDAY YA'LL! :sunglass:

Working on Oracle Cards.

[Gemme]

I'm about done! I still have laundry to do and to start the dishwasher but it's already locked and loaded so that's nothing, really. I got up and showered and went to the salon and got a bangin' slightly new do, went to the bank, went to Walmart and then finished up at Stop & Shop and was sorely disappointed that the very same litter that I got at Walmart half an hour earlier was on sale at Stop & Shop and cheaper. Doh!

Neither store had one of my items so I'll be doing a tiny Amazon order before bed as well. I've played with the kitties and have filled their bellies so I'll need to wash their dishes and clean their box and add in the new litter before bed as well as taking out the recycling and maybe the trash too. It's close but not 100% full. We'll see. I've watched some telly and played online (including a new version of Spider Solitaire that's interesting).

I didn't get much sleep last night because I stayed up late watching NCIS reruns (I never get bored with that show) so once that stuff is done, it'll be just the things I normally do before bed and maybe a quick game of laser tag with the kitties and then it will be lights out.

Oh with that dimension no wonder I needed a shoe horn to guide me in! After a few salty snacks and sugary sodas during the flight I practically needed the "Jaws of Life" to pry me out...

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I get to leave work early today! My agenda:
- process checks
- reconcile Visa statement
- stop playing on bfp, right after this post
Go home, and:
- have Chinese food on the way
- feed and love on the dog and monitor her closely for any signs of tummy upset
- reclean some spots on the carpet that didn't quite get clean enough yesterday
- watch "The Good Place" on Netflix

I'm fascinated - how do you make body butter??

[Orema]

I'm fascinated - how do you make body butter??

Here’s a link to a website with a recipe and method that got me started on this.

https://wellnessmama.com/6544/whipped-body-butter/

And here’s what I do...

I weigh and combine the following in a large Pyrex measuring cup:


4 oz raw shea butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
4 oz raw cocoa butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
4 oz coconut oil (found at most grocery stores)
4 oz olive oil (found at most grocery stores)

Next I put the Pyrex measuring cup in a large pot of hot water to slowly melt the butters with the oils (the shea and cocoa butters are hard). Once or twice I’ll add hot water to the pot and will stir occasionally until everything is melted.

I let it cool on the counter for 15 minutes once everything is melted, then I put the Pryrex cup in the freezer for about an hour or two till it starts to harden on the perimeter.

After it hardens a bit, I pull it out of the freezer and whip it with an emulsion blender for a few minutes until it’s mixed well. And I put it in plastic containers I bought at Amazon.

I learned how to make soap and lotion but you damn near have to be a chemist to make soap and lotion includes water (which can turn to mold if you don’t use the right ingredients). Body butters are easy-peasy to make.

You can add scented essence oils but I don’t.

The older I get the more dry my skin gets and my skin loves this body butter combination. I use it daily after showering.

I hope you didn’t think I used a body :)

Well this is more involved than I thought but I still might try it. And I'm particularly glad that it doesn't involve any bodies ;)

Thank you so much for writing it all out!!
You are awesome Orema!

Tons of errands that I don't feel the slightest bit like doing.....:seeingstars:

[Gemme]

I've got the most important thing done, which was to spend some quality time with a Geeky friend and look over ole Bessie to make sure she's okay. She passed inspection!

Now, I'm simmering some veggies I got from the reduced produce section of the grocery store and once that cools, I'll put it in the fridge for this week's work lunches.

I've done some dusting...*cough, cough*...but will need to do some more before the day is done. I'll need to vacuum again by day's end with all the little bits of Loki that are flying about.

I'll also need to continue with more household re-organization. That got put on hold but really needs some attending to.

[easygoingfemme]

Breakfast
Morning bike ride
Shower
Run final errands for camping supplies
Make my packing pile
Take my nephews to movie night at their school

SO, what's on the agenda is a nap!

[JDeere]

Being as lazy as possible.

[RebelDyke]

Being as lazy as possible.

I think i need to take a page out of your book. I tend to over book. And get exhausted

[Gemme]

I did it all!

I went to work and accomplished all the things I wanted to there, then I came home and played with the babies, paid a couple of bills, watched a couple of movies and am going to go to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour. Okay, so there's one thing to go but I'm already on the downswing so success is inevitable.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I don't know! I woke up late it's Monday I haven't even thought about what I have to do this week but I know as long as my boss is talking on the phone she won't come in here and talk to me!!!!!!!

(Deep breath)

Okay. One. thing. at. a. time.

[Gemme]

Some dumb-ass from NY woke me up before 8 so my plan of sleeping late shit the bed. I don't feel well so I won't be doing cartwheels and jumping jacks today either so my new plan for the day is to relax until my uterus decides to stop waging war against me and then continue with the slow going process of culling through the home for things to trash or donate or sell. I already played some online games so after I finish up here, I'll get started on that.
