McMansion day
 

It started out well enough...

In my first hour at work today I:

stripped two beds

remade one

started two loads of wash

Vacuumed the guest room

emptied 15 trashcans and 2 recycling bins

dusted a vast library and the great room

(also greeted a visiting mother-in-law and petted two dogs as well as had a nice talk with the gardener...)

After that it all went to shit...

BUT...I did the stairs at LEAST a dozen times...so I got paid to workout today :)

Accomplished today
 

This adventure started at sunrise yesterday and just ended.

I drove four hours to the coast to attend a four hour meeting. Then we got on a boat for another three hours to conduct a site visit and collect data. Then I drove to another project on the beach to collected data. It was a thirteen hour day.

Today, my morning meeting was canceled so I cruised the beach for a while before the long drive back.

All and all it was a great trip!

I actually completed my readings for this week (Wednesday start of school week), posted my discussion board posts, chatted with a friend, got three loads of wash done, and shampooed the carpet in the living room. Just ordered dinner and will work on a paper that is due in 5 days about why people change. Very productive day. Oh and the place I ordered dinner from is owned by a lesbian couple who have 13 years together and who are getting married Saturday. I had them add extra money to the bill as a wedding present from me. Lol! When I told her to add the delivery tip she refused and told me not to push it. Haahaa!!

I helped a co-worker who walked into a disaster of a house...

Then did my own work.

Got restocked for next week early

Finally cashed my check

Paid bills

Nailed down a side job finally..

Remembered to call my agency about working this weekend. (maybe)

I helped my Mom paint her front deck. I did not get scorched to awful much.
Just finished taking some pictures that I need to take a look at.

Pretty quiet day all in all.

I can honestly say that I got nothing done today...nothing, nada, zip,

I came home from work and took a long nap. It was 84 degrees inside and I just passed out. I'm just waking up, feeling well rested and like I accomplished something.

So far I got the dishes done, grocery shopped and got everything put away.

Today is not far from my last post....I'm in a rut!

Today:

I did dishes before I left the house...because I was naughty and left them overnight...

Made breakfast

Watered the garden

Hit a tag sale before my first client (this IS an accomplishment for me; I've been missing out on tag sales due to my former weekend schedule) Oh I scored a little wooden ladder. I've wanted one for a towel holder for ages!

Went to my first client. Spent a little over 2 hours there

Managed to NOT go to Krispy Kreme for my usual every other Monday raspberry filled glazed donut...

Made it to the bank. Only 3 days after getting my paycheck. Not bad. :hangloose:

Gave my paycheck to utilities.

Went to my second client's house. Spent 3.5 hours cleaning there.

Got home and let the dog out to pee and the cat out of the cupboard (the landlord came to put in my new bedroom light finally...she is scared of strangers and hides in the cupboard. She can get in...but she cannot get out...bless her heart)

Once it cools off a bit:

fixin' to head to the store for some provisions

And/or I may just get some take out

and I MAY get a hairs cut...I'm thinking swoopy bangs...wish me luck...

went to work, came home, ate dinner, mowed the yard, did day 11 of yoga, watched a little tv, watered the yard, showered, relaxing now....

I had a to-do list for myself today...

the only thing I managed was to get a new haircut and get dog food...

Grocery shopping didn't happen and I forgot to get flea shampoo for my poodle. For whatever reason, the fleas are not responding to his flea treatment.......

However....I LOVE my new haircut! I have bangs! My heir is so now!

I have being doing a huge purge of personal Frick a fracks and it feels fantastic!
My local thrift store is enjoying my bounty!

I have nervous energy to expend... So far I got the dishes done, floor swept, garden watered and scrubbed the outside of the house where the siding likes to collect moss. There is more housework to follow later...

Very busy day: took folks on an outing to Sam's Club, renewed my membership, got groceries (saved $95), unloaded car, put stuff away, made lunch while cleaning produce, made 18 pints of jam (7=strawberry & 11=cherry), contacted directed study professor and got direction for our next discussion in 2 weeks, & spent time with family.

I will add bad news today hearing my brother-in-law is now starting kidney failure on top of his bad liver. More testing will determine how many points he has which will determine priority on donor list for his liver. It doesn't look or sound good. He is filling with fluid and throwing up daily.

Not enough. I couldn't concentrate today.

Accomplished
 

I drove to the coast to oversee the construction phase of my project then had a lunch time business meeting and drove back. Now making meals for tomarrow. Next kitty time.

Lastly, spend time with my lady. :)
