Tonight there is a frost warning so today we figured we'd better bring in items we had in the garage like, extra soda, bottle water, etc etc! It took us a good chunk of the day with figuring out where to put it all once we got it into the house! All I can say is we must of hit one hell of a sale on soda, it's lined up like cord wood! Same with bottled water, but I know the sale price is always the same 2/$5.

While Mary stored the stuff in the house, I stayed in the garage, cut up boxes, swept, hauled cardboard out to the recycle bin.Then I re-arranged and took inventory of paper toweling, t-paper, etc etc. That garage resembles a mini Costco...LOL

Purged my bedroom closet. Putting those things aside till I purge other closet, cedar chest, and dresser drawers.

I decided that enough time had passed today that I should sign up for notification when my ballot is accepted. Surprisingly, I was told that it was already accepted on the 28th! Pretty quick turnaround, glad to know that this one’s in the bank.

I didn't eat any bread and I stuck to small portions, which sometimes is really hard for me to do because I'm an emotional eater.

On Sunday's, I generally set aside time to investigate places to visit while on vacation. Rico and I plan on taking a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to a Mediterranean destination, in the near future. Today, like most always, I daydream about us visiting Santorini. :stillheart:

Today
 

Went grocery shopping after I worked for 1/2 hr. to brush off my van. Stood in line for another 1/2 hr to get in the store (Walmart). Bought some treats for my wonderful neighbors just cause. Watched a lot of tv and chatted a bit.

Food prep for the week
 

I put together pint jars of refrigerator oatmeal for the week. I also made a big pot of vegetarian jambalaya for dinners for the week, and prepped homemade lentil burgers for lunches. I'm not vegetarian, but I'm trying to incorporate more vegetable meals into my routine. I also chopped and prepped veggies to eat with these meals.
Then I folded laundry, so all my laundry is clean. Now the house is clean, the food is prepped, the dishes are done, and I get to relax. I did all that work while playing music and dancing and singing along, so I had some fun, too.
Also, I have a job interview this week. I don't know if I want the new job, but it's nice for them to be interested in me.

I booked 4 day weekends through out most of this coming summer. It will be nice to have extended time off to relax with Rico or get a few days too for myself.

:hk20:

I found time to get my weekly household chores done; then I went on a 13 mile bicycle ride; then I made a big batch of coconut milk-mixed berry protein shake drinks (for the work week); and made an appt with our CPA to file an amended tax return, since the new stimulus package allows for tax credit on last years unemployment and stimulus funds. It is a bummer that I have to dish out another C-note for CPA fees, but at least I will get a better tax refund once our CPA files my amended return.

I got a bunch of things I am going to work on today, including a months-long crafting project I start working on before summer gets underway, because it is an art project I make for each person in my life that I interact with at work or in my private life. It takes months to get it done, so it's ready by the time the late fall holiday season comes around.

I will most likely go for a bicycle ride today too, because the weather will be warmer than it has been, since last year.

And, then sometime late today, I will go pick up my Honey from his chemo appt and ferry us to his house for some R&R time together.

Today I completed the patchwork in the upstairs bathroom from the remodel I did last weekend. I also removed the downstairs vanity and sink so I could patch behind it before installing the new one. I washed the exterior of the house. And I went on a 3-mile hike before getting dinner and watching a movie with a friend.

Accomplished today
 

Went shopping for groceries. Scrubbed the devil out of the bathroom and kitchen, vaccumed the apt.. I will cook soon and do up the dishes and I am done.

I just finished washing and waxing my car. Ohhh, its beautiful! And..btw.....I've never named any of my cars!

I love having a yard to play in the water with. Little on my toes, a little watering the grass.

In my office at work right now reviewing the business intelligence reports and Tableau data.

When I get home take my silky out for a ride in the car. He loves riding in the car.

Then make steak and salad for dinner.

Behaved myself in Costco – In and out of there quick with no side trips, only what I came for and without trying any of the freebie samples either.

At work reviewing census reports and huddle boards.

Then when I get home take Milo out for a ride in the car and make dinner.

Drove home from Chicago. Created and gave a presentation at work (totally procrastinated that one). Had a few other meetings. And now just relaxing.
