Poor Pop...working too hard these days...there's a lot of that going around. |
I finally made my first batch of dog treats. I almost burnt them. I seriously need better cookie sheets. I have the dark sheets and they cause everything I bake on them to heat too quickly. I can never guage the right time and/or the right temp first time for a new recipe. So..next time I need to shave off 3 minutes. She likes them any way but I am a perfectionist. They are a bit harder than I thought they would be. She is 14...I need something with a softer texture. I am going to try the recipe with applesauce next, hoping it might be softer.

I cleaned my car off in the hopes I can go to work tomorrow
Even ran it up and down the drive to clear a path for said morning trip Scooped litter boxes Fed and watered the cats Made myself breakfast, lunch and dinner Put leftovers away Since it was just me, it was plastic utensils and paper plates |
My wife and I bought new storage for our scrapbooking stamps...Woohoo!...The room is less cluttered and it really feels good in there...Yay!

the sloughing off of emotional shrapnel.....the kind that like a glass sliver slowly makes it way out through your heart and into your soul....i feel kind of shellshocked but im ok no really ok..... i think the dredging of deadwood so to speak has cleared some emotional space in my heart and my head and that is always welcome....
|
What did I accomplish was getting the food for the KIddush lunch on Saturday for my birthday and a friend's. We are going to have a lunch on that day and enjoy some friends for the day..Yay

Now on the couch, feet up, watching Law & Order CI and wishing my sweetie was here to watch it with me. |

Went to work, got out kinda early
Worked out Got a 10 min nap went to pick up Blaze from work cooked.. well...just warmed up left overs. |
I provided comfort for my old dog, enough so that she has begun to walk better and I can tell her pain level is down finally. The many massages and applications of heat and the special large breed coated aspirins help her out alot. Cradling her head in my lap and petting her thru the pain probably was the best therapy of all...

!!!
MY TAXES!!!
|
Built 2 horse stalls this afternoon. Dang it cold outside too!!!
|
Cleverly used the snow to figure out that we DID have a new cat dumped in our woods. Have even found the live trap to catch said new dumped cat.
|
2 loads of laundry
cooked dinner and actually sat at the dinner table , with no tv on. Made alot of chicken broth and freezed them, I think its healthier that way.... not crazy about canned anything. if i can help it. cleaned bathroom made the bed picked up poop outside organized some of my baskets organized some of the pantry went to pick up Blaze's jeep at dealership start on my taxes |
|
cancelled the writers workshop that was to be held here tomorrow
did the laundry and I feel frustrated because I have to leave the full laundry baskets downstairs for someone to bring them up because I am not allowed to lift them let alone carry them upstairs. (grumble grumble grumble) did some energy work on the old dog as well as some muscle work organized my jewelry, specifically my earrings. I had gotten quite sloppy in putting them away |
Very productive day at work today...plus the usual tasks to get the kiddo to and from school with the necessary lunches and breakfasts, etc.
Had a false alarm on the kitty leaflets today...a neighbor thought they'd found Banshee, but it turned out to be the stray I'm feeding outside. Worth a try...and nice to know that people are looking and have kept my phone number. Tiring week....so we've just had snacks, and are going to call it pizza night. Scoote won't be home until late, but we decided it's worth the wait. :eating: Just a few little things other than that...tested and adjusted the pool (it's up to 70 so maybe we can swim again soon)...put Rooster's pirate flag up on the flag pole...fed the outdoor kitty...a short run to WalMart for Frontline and a few miscellaneous things. Looking forward to a sleep in and a quiet day tomorrow. :) |

My sister found a mirror on Craigs List she absolutely wanted..thing is it was in twinsburg...a good hour and a half away. I rode up and back with her, thru rain, then sleet, (real bad sleet and several nasty accidents on the way), then snow to get this mirror.But it was worth it. It was the exact mirror that was hanging in her house before she bought it. How do we know? The picture that was shown, was from her home! She still has the anchors up from it! And it is BEAUTIFUL! My sister is so happy now and she deserves this. SHe helps everyone and doesnt do hardly anything for herself. Today, I helped make my sister really happy....

Had a really wonderful day today...
Made a pot of coffee, baked a loaf of pumpkin bread... Went out to breakfast...just me and Scoote Stopped at an antique/secondhand shop we've been meaning to go to...and found a beautiful bone china cup and saucer with butterflies on it, a cut glass tray, fireplace tools and sterling candlestick holders....and Scoote found some great Elvis memorabilia... Back home, collected kids and dog....and off to the dog beach for shell-hunting, fresh air, sunshine and a walk...complete with spinning sharks just off shore... Flat tire on the way home...and a good Samaritan who stopped to help and wouldn't even take any cash for helping... A nice hot shower for two :lips: And Taco Bell/KFC in front of the TV to finish the day. Oh....and yes, we did clean the kitchen and the cat box...as well as feed the critters. :) |
I got my oil changed
my tires rotated my brakes inspected and got a cat for the Wee One :) |
Watched it rain
Took Bear to the Paw Wash to get his nails clipped. Drove in the rain. :rainsing: De-thatched Bear. Did I mentioned it was raining? :phonegab: Finally got him bathed and conditioned...this has been on my Jesse Do list for a couple of days now. More rain Did a load of laundry Damn rain! Went to Radio Shack and bought an MP3 player and some headphones:listening: Would have preferred to go :fishing: |
I am still in the midst of cleaning (I tend to do it late at night as opposed to early in the day, anyone else do this?) but I am taking a break :) So, so far...
I worked 6-1 and helped train a new cashier (and swept, mopped x 3, dusted, and cleaned all the counters and underneath) Came home and napped Ate brown rice and soy-marinated chicken that Bard made Caught up with a long-time friend Found this thread and got motivated to clean Put up the new shower liner Gathered the trash, cleaned the fridge out and wiped down counters Cleaned off the kitchen table of random items Vacuumed the foyer, living room and couch Sprayed febreeze fabric on the couch because I love the smell :) Tidied up the living room Cleaned the litter box Put the trash out (a day early) Next is putting away dishes and washing the few in the sink Then either putting away the last load of laundry before I start anymore... or working on organizing the bookcases a bit more so I can fit some more books on there. Or maybe just catch up on more episode of Dr. Who :) I have tomorrow off and want to be able to spend it relaxing, alas late-night cleaning and going to sleep shortly before Bard gets off work |
Over breakfast, I had my daughter, my brother and I do an exercise in goal setting...we did short term and long term. They really liked it and started brainstorming and pretty soon they were really going!
Next, we will work on executing each goal and the steps it takes to build upon each to reach the long term ones. I am soooo happy! I truly feel a cohesiveness in our family again. Amen amen! |
Another good day...
...managed to sleep in until about 8:45 ...browbeat Scoote into taking some yogurt, fruit and crackers to work...hopefully she'll get a few minutes to eat something ...traded cars, and took hers in to get new tires and an oil change ...while waiting for the car, walked over to Lowe's and got a new hose for the back yard ...once home, set up hose (with the help of the Prince), so I can get the backyard hibiscus flowering :) ...spot cleaned the pool, checked chemicals...almost warm enough to swim :cheer: ...stripped beds, got sheets and blankets washing ...also laundered the cats blankets and kitchen and bathroom rugs ...fed outdoor kitty, while Rooster took care of the indoor ones ...took the Prince to Best Buy, and stopped at the bookstore on the way back...picked up the sequel to a book I very much enjoyed...and he got one too (the electronic stuff was his money....but the book was on me...I'm always happy to buy the kids a book :) ) ...home again and relaxing before I make dinner, empty the dishwasher, handwash the goodies I got at the antique/secondhand store yesterday and remake the beds....OH...and make jello for Scoote (she's out!) |
Not Much...of anything.
|
Went to the gym
Stopped by the organic market Fixed food Vegged the rest of the day. :cigar2: |
my old dog has had several accidents upstairs last night. I shampooed all the rugs up there. A small feat...
She has always wanted to join me wherever I am but lately she is staying on the enclosed front porch. Today, all day. I am going to let her stay out there tonight instead of having her join me upstairs. It hurts my heart not to have her with me but she seems to be picking it. There is a tile area I can leave paper down so she can potty on. She isnt telling me she needs to go out. This is part of the dementia.... |
