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

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.

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

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

Meetings and meetings and meetings.

Going to stop by Kohls to make a few returns

Later, gonna stroll through our garden and make some dinner with my kiddo.

Finish up my book and start a new one:)

- Get back to lots of people
- Type minutes
- Meeting
- Pay bills
- Go home
- nap
- play with cat and dog
- make dinner
- a friend is coming over, so Netflix and chill

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.

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:

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!

-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.

Work, then maybe a nap

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.

Bike ride
House chores
Dinner and movie with my parents
Sunset

– work from home for a couple hours
– gather my soap making supplies and tools for Trudy
– gather lotion making supplies for someone or to go in the garage
– drink lots of water

I should do some chores and errands, but I'm already tired and haven't even started. That's what I get for staying up so late.

:poc-cool:

- cleaning
- playing with the boy
- a little planning for our Disney World trip
- watching Captain Marvel
- maybe watching the Braves game, if I can manage to stay awake through the whole thing

Lots and lots of things are on my list, but . . .

I forgot to take my meds this morning, and my brain is mush. Just got out of a meeting where words were flying back and forth and I was trying to look involved and part of the conversation and not lost.

Time for some covert internal leave.

Kitchen reorganization
 

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.

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

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

With 3 boys:

-McDonald's
-Bowling
-Swimming

- have a nervous breakdown due to temp worker who wrecked my files while I was out yesterday
- edit a document
- proofread a flowchart
- answer emails
- home for lunch, and nap!

I can't think past the nap . . .

Pay the bills

Sleep in my own bed

Work and survive the experience- check- though it was rough.
Buy a new to me car- check

Sunset- foiled by super cloudy sky
Wind down time
Bed

I am doomed........

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.

– do some work from home (in progress)
– get the car washed (done)
– give myself a mani/pedi (on the horizon)
– watch Animal Kingdom again (did that really happen?!?)
– think about a butch who asked for my number at the car wash

Bike ride- check
House chores- in progress
Vacuum out car after letting my nephews play bouncy house in there with their muddy shoes on.
Errands
Dinner and playing cards with my parents
Hopefully sunset watching
Bed

Hauled all my stuff back up to my studio (Check).
Fed and petted Miss Petunia, before I left my sil's house (Check).
Turned the A/C on (Check).

Sitting in my big ole comfy chair, legs stretched out, grazing on veggies and fruit, and being purrfectly chill. (Lazy, Check).
