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!

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...

Laundry and sleep!

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.

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 :)

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.

Let's see...

Errands
Movie later
Then sleep

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!

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.

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:

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.

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

Hoorah, hoorah the ebt is in!

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.

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

Agenda
 

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!

Get out of work as early as possible.

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!

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

Get a bit of sleep

Go to my sisters house

– 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

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.

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.

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.

Taking a huge risk

Driving out of state further than normal this time

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
