I finally took back the bag of baby girl clothes that I had bought for my sister. The poor cashier had no idea why I was crying. I'm glad it's done.

I set up my directed study for summer semester. This is my final semester of school right now and the main purpose of this course is to set up a non-profit organization that is needed very much in my area. The second in command of the program is very interested in this project and the faculty member I chose is excited about it as well. I also had a gentleman from my internship contact me and ask to be a part of this venture because he retires in an upcoming month in the not so distant future. Paths are opening and I know this is the right path...the vision is becoming clearer and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Today is Sunday which means that I cook for the week. So on the menu is beef enchiladas, sausage, beans, rice, and potatoes.

Cleaned the kitchen and rest of the house.

Did the laundry.

Now for some yard work.

Accomplished yesterday making sure my father was safe and well taken care of before driving back home because Florida had two huge storms that were very close. Today did my laundry and vacuumed my apartment and played with my dog. Plus made dinner.

Let's see… I went to church, shared an icecream sandwich with a cat, put in a couple hours in my studio and in a few minutes I'm going to endeavor to make hush puppies for the first time.

I cooked dinner and no one complained about any of it.

my garden is almost finished (f)(f)

I woke up. That is a start right? Let us see what happens from here.

gimme a few hrs plllls ...and a java injection to the jugular ... lol

dinner or lunch for a few days...
 

Spent a couple hours making a huge pot of beef veggie soup with fresh veggies...carrots, baby taters, silver queen sweet corn, celery, garlic, little yellow squash and very fresh, crisp curly parsley...in a delicious beef and tomato broth.

This was an accomplishment because I haven't felt much like making huge meals

Today I accomplished quite a bit!

I read the rest of my chapters for school and put up the other discussion board post. I then planned an anniversary party for my parents for tomorrow. Monday they have 69 years together!! I went to Sam's and got a veggie tray, a fruit tray, some lunch meat and cheese to make up a meat and cheese tray, some rolls, chips, and bought them a HUGE hanging basket full of begonias. They both have not been doing well healthwise so I wanted to go all out in case they do not get to see 70 years together. It will be all four kids home with their spouses. I am so excited because for once I didn't let the cat out of the bag and tell them what was in the making. I can't help it!! When I get excited I just cannot contain myself. LOL! But this time it is Shhhhhhhhh!!! *BIG Smiles.

Now to take the pup out for a bit because a big storm is brewing.

Nothing yet! Its amazing!!

Trivial stuff for the most part. I did some laundry, cut my hair, trimmed my beard & showered. Then I did some maintenance and housecleaning on my desktop, and spent some time studying. The rest of the day was spent talking to friends on the phone, and goofing off. ;)

So far...
 

Completed the rest of the 8 chapters for reading for this week and posted my discussion board posts. I also cooked a great dinner and did dishes for the folks and did three loads of laundry today. So glad the reading is done for this week. *Contented sigh

And then, and then, and then kinda day
 

Started at the bank. Grand daughter had to pee. Okay, so I send her down the hall of loan officers and she glides on through, no one said a thing.

Went the the hell on earth here in Abbotsford where parents come to drink coffee and chat with friends while abou,t 100 children scream and play in the various jungle gym stuff.

Then I went to Walmart, sped around in the scooter and enjoyed being out of the scorching weather for a couple of hours.

Finally, two of my grandchildren arrived to spend the evening/overnight and the fun started.

I am one tired, happy, woman tonight. How was your day? lol(f)(f)

Accomplished
 

I cooked food for lunches, did laundry, and mowed the rest of the day. Resting now.

I lost my passport then I found it an hour later... In that hour, I saw my entire life flash before my eyes.

Started the day about 7am had to go get my dads lawn tractor out of the woods. He mistakenly thought it was a bush hog and dropped off the front wheels in an old stump hole.

Then went to pick up a half ton of gravel for Moms driveway. Shoveled it off. Then it was to late to get ready for church.

cooked supper
washed 2 loads of clothes
grocery store

Geez isn't Sunday supposed to be a day of rest?

Donated money to RAINN. Granted, my motivation included spiting a left-wing circular firing squad I walked into last night (they apparently think a charity that fights rape, abuse, and incest is "rape culture"), so it's not entirely benevolent, but I at least like to think I can use my spite for positive ends.

Hand sanded two 8' 2x4s
Changed the bulbs in the outside motion detectors.
Picked up my order from Home Depot
Prepped and planted some blueberry cuttings and Oleifera Moringa cuttings.
Worked some more on cleaning/organizing the garage.
Replaced the spigot & washers on my 2 gallon Igloo water jug, then sanitized it along with the 1 gal. & 1/2 gallon jugs in preparation for camping and/or hurricane season.

Thought about washing and waxing my truck. Haven't made it that far yet, perhaps tomorrow.

I got some of my reading done for class; cooked two large meals today and cleaned the kitchen up after each; took Grace out into the heat to get some energy worn off; went out on an expedition with my sister - we found a picnic spot in the local State Park to take my parents who are 89 and 95 years old (the bathrooms had to be close), searched out the local Amish store for produce, got some ice cream; then came home and took clippings off my herbs (today harvested dill and tarragon tomorrow plan on doing parsley and basil), dried them, and put them into storage jars.

Today has been a busy one! Read 1 chapter more for school and posted discussion board post, made cauliflower salad, homemade marinara sauce, and hardwood smoked turkey sausage. Tonight I will work in the garden. My brother in law finally got it all tilled. It is over 90 degrees so will wait for the sun to drop down in the sky some. Still need to get some more cuttings off of my herbs too and get them dried and put away. Busy busy...no moss growing under my feet.

Finished one more week of work; two more to go before a big ass break!

Some work stuff.
Built a few legos, ate some chocolate chip cookies.
Such is my day spent with a five year old :)

After trying out dozens of mattresses, I succeeded in convincing myself I don't need a new one. This makes me happy as it saves me money, avoids the disruption in my household routine, and lets me know I made a wise choice the last time I bought one. :)

Accomplished
 

Yesterday, after working and commuting for 12 hours I worked on the truck, made dinner and lunch then cleaned the kitchen.

I got thru a sit down with the auditor's at work with nary a scratch. It was a good day.

I did laundry yesterday, loads and loads of it, how two people and two fur kids can have so much I have no idea.
