– Get the flu shot and
– Find out if the Covid booster is in my area
– Pick up groceries
– Make a batch of body butter
– Think about creating an online dating profile
– Pull out the winter garb and put away the summer clothes
– Catch up on The Chi

– Pull out some masks

Today’s agenda is to move all furniture out of the home office, remove the old area rug, put in the new rug, move the furniture back into the office.

I think I can manage this with my pink dolly. If not, plan B is to have some movers help me over the weekend or on Monday.

Work and I THOUGHT there was a Gratefull Dead tribute to go to tonight but it’s tomorrow. Meh. So laundry tonight and make dinner. More decorating of the new abode.

– Accompany a friend to PT who cancelled the last appt for the weather
– Shop for groceries
– Make a batch of body butter, maybe
– Update my weight and exercise spreadsheet for 2024
– Count my blessings

Hair salon appt. Looking for a new hairdresser and I’m hoping she’s the one.

Re-up at the dispensary. They have a 25% discount on prepackaged flower (mostly shake). That’s what I use to make canna oil.

Stop at the grocery store for cucumbers and oiives. I also want something sweet but I’m not even going on that side of the store, maybe.

What my plans were: to bring home the new to me refrigerator and get it in my kitchen while donating my old refrigerator to someone in need.

Didn’t happen

It was also complicated and I’m not going to bore you with the details. but the new to me refrigerator is sitting in my garage. And my old refrigerator is still sitting in my kitchen.(the person in need is going to get it next weekend.)

Hopefully, next weekend, this will be taken care of. I’m exhausted. But I’m not complaining that it didn’t happen, because many good things happened. While this was going on!

I also walked around my garden areas, and I am so excited that we’re going to have an early spring! I have so many wonderful plans for this elaborate garden!

– Ride the bike
– Paint my face
– Go grocery shopping
– Fold all those clothes I washed yesterday
– Take some selfies

Years ago a butch, who didn’t like hys looks, told me he took selfies every day and it helped. I’m going to try it to help me adjust to my older-looking self.

Voting. Going to cast my vote for Joe Biden in our Presidential Primary. Biden at his worst (old, possibly confused at times, you name it) is better than Trump at his best (whatever that may be).

Dinner. Going to eat at the “lodge.” In my area many ethinc groups (Poles, Lithuanians, Irish, etc.) have clubs. You don’t have to belong to the ethnic group to join, but you have to be approved by the “membership committee.” You become a member by connections with another member. My membership for one of the lodges was approved yesterday so a couple friends and I are celebrating (we celebrate anything around here) by gong to the lodge tonight for burgers and beer. Should be fun.

I’ll also do the laundry and give myself a mani/pedi.

Leaving work early to get my hip checked. I had hip replacement a few years ago and for some reason it’s causing me problems. Need to find out why

I got everything on my list done today!

- Give Brittany her monthly heartworm and flea/tick meds
- Go to hospital to get labs done
- Order CPAP supplies
- Pay bills
- Fire my housekeeper. I'm really sad about this one. It's purely a financial decision.

- Reschedule Orkin
- Reschedule mammogram
- Refill prescriptions
- Clean out the refrigerator
- Gather up trash

I don’t think Pete even likes bbq sauce.
 

It's been a slow day. I made hair appointments for me and the boy, and I played with the dog. I listened to an audiobook.

But the most fun I had today was making an Easter basket for the boy! I decorated it, filled it up with his favorite snacks, and hid it in his bedroom. If he finds it before Sunday morning, I'll tell him the Easter bunny came by early while he wasn't here. But I don't think he'll find it early, it's pretty well hidden.

Mmm, I can almost smell the wood smoke.

* * *

I'm setting up a tea station in my room. I don't know why I never thought of this before. Prior to now, I only got tea if I asked the boy to make it, and I hate to ask him to do this kind of thing very often. He already does so many chores. But I ordered an electric tea kettle (introduced to me by a Canadian friend - I don't know why, but we don't really use these in the South - we used the kind you put on the stove). Anyway, I've got room for my 3 favorite teas and a tea cup on a shelf, and I'm moving some stuff around so I can have the kettle next to my Brita water pitcher. I can't wait to relax with some Honey Vanilla Chamomile.

It has just occurred to me that I could have used the microwave. Oh, well.

1. Try to get some sleep. It's 4 a.m. and I haven't slept in two days. I'm not sleepy now. But I really need to get some sleep, because

2. At 10:30 a.m. I have a doctor's appointment. I will have to get up by 7:45 a.m. to shower and get dressed. It takes me awhile to do those things these days.

3. Lunch at my favorite burger place as a reward for the doctor's visit. Yes, I deserve a reward. It's one of those really invasive doctor visits.

4. Catch up on texting with some friends.

5. Work on a craft project.

Morning stuff (shower, dress, coffee, pack lunch, check seedlings)
Work (who knows what will happen, never a dull moment)
Home
Grill dinner for self and parents (Salmon and asparagus on the menu)
Take a little hike
Play cards
Read
Sleep

My agenda today is to make an agenda for my house cleaner. Yes, we did "break up", but she just happens to be in town this week and has Friday available. I can't afford her, but I really need her, so this is a one off.

*Shower/dress/makeup/coffee- check
*Check seedlings- check: Sprouts, people. We have sprouts!
*Work. Many meetings scheduled today. Boo.
*Continue search for geriatric practitioner for my father
*Home
*Make dinner- salads with leftover grilled chicken
*Rest depends on weather. If the rain stops, I'll go walk for a while. If not, I have more seeds to get started.

1. Sort and break down recyclables.
2. Take out trash.
3. Laundry, fold clothes and put away.
4. Find the make and model of my HVAC unit so I can get someone to service it.
5. Make bed.
6. Hopefully, I will have time and energy to work on a crafty project.

Actually, this is for tomorrow
1. Order compost to be delivered
2. Set out my bird houses. I got new hummingbird ones this year.
3. Finish up my bird baths. I got two new ones and they were supposed to be fountains, but I cut off the cords. Big bowl is going to be used for water for the birds. And the two smaller bowls will be for pollinators.
4. Finish my spiral strawberry garden

It’s been years
 

It’s been years since I been on this sight. I have seen things have changed. My agenda for the day is just trying to reconnect with old friends and find a since of community that I have listed over time.

Welcome back to the community!!

Here’s to your good health and reconnecting with friends in the community.

:bow:

1. Call the insurance company and correct a letter they sent me. I hope it's not an argument, and that they will simply see the error of their ways.

2. Send notes to some of my medical providers asking for records.

3. Change Brittany's dog beds around the house for new ones.

4. Try to get Brittany to learn to catch a ball or at least chase it. I have purchased multitudes of balls, and she doesn't like any of them. I have high hopes for one that came in the mail yesterday, though; hopefully it is small and light enough for her.

5. Confirm dates and times and carpooling for an event Thursday, and find an outfit to wear.

6. Wash Brittany's toys in the clothes washer.

- Physical therapy exercises
- Fold laundry
- Play with Brittany
- Watch new episodes of Gray's Anatomy
