What did you accomplish today?

Ginger · 07-10-2020, 06:25 PM

Nervously watched the high wind and rain whip around the tree canopy a few yards from my windows — the squirrel nest hung in there!

Looked online for bird boxes and read about them — the kind you put out in the winter not for nesting but for roosting in cold weather.

A bunch of birds at one time, even different species, will sit on the little ladder inside.

The entrance hole is at the bottom of the front panel, so their body heat will rise and stay inside.

In the spring, you switch the front panel so the hole is at the top, letting the hot air out, and they use it for nesting. When I order one, I'll affix it somehow to the wall of the balcony.

Everything else I did today pales next to my self-tutorial on bird boxes and storm watching.

When I post a one line response " about what I accomplished today " I'm not being falsely modest . There are so many days when I accomplish nothing or next to. And I've no intention of apologizing for it.

Cleared out space around my recumbent bike with some help. And cleaned out a box 😆 and I took a shower, that is a major project with my healing knee. I put together a sprayer and filled it up for use. That's about it. I really didn't do much but it felt good to feel like doing something

Yesterday's accomplishments:

Made really good omelettes with broccoli from our garden in them.
Harvested a bunch of our greens that were on their second round so I pulled them and re-seeded for the next round.
Built up a fence to go around our beans and cantaloupe because a groundhog discovered them and went to town.
Cooked ahead for the week: Baked haddock, chicken covered in rosemary and thyme from the garden, veggie loaded quiche, and shrimp curry.
Took out the trash.

Today is going to be over 90 degrees and I work in a swamp so I'm glad I got all of that done yesterday because today will be about staying upright until I don't have to anymore.

I accomplished not getting any kind of heat sickness, which is great. I'm very happy with that accomplishment today.

With all this handwashing and sanitizing, my nails are definitely taking a beating! Brittle. Peeling. I've tried nail hardeners, that starts to peel off within 36 hours. Short, filed..nope still peeling.

Today I got my manicuring skills out. It's been about 20 years since I dabbled in acrylics. Well, let's just say left hand, very well executed! The right hand, I'll have to hone in on more practice. Lol. Let's see if this is the solution I need.

Psst...the polish makes them look much better.

* Slept in and had a lazy late morning breakfast and yummy cup of herbal tea.

* Trimmed and colored my hair.

* Later on today, catch up on some household chores, wash and dry some laundry, maybe go for a late afternoon drive.

* Mostly, I have taken good care of me. Best plan ever, if you ask me.

Hi, Someone asked me for the link to my research. It was just Amazon. If you search for "bird roost box," all this stuff will come up and you can web-hop around the different makers. Good luck bird lovers! Ginger

nothing so far...making pancakes to oldie

but goodie

Gemme · 07-12-2020, 11:21 AM

I rolled out of bed--eventually after 2 false starts--and took care of the fur babies. Then I made myself some food and perused stuff online. I also played some Spider Solitaire and was mostly successful in finishing each game under 4 minutes, which is my personal marker as to whether it was 'successful' or not. I weighed myself and put my hair up in a ponytail.

Currently, I'm working through my email notifications here and am contemplating having dessert after brunch. Eventually, I'll make my way to actual work and house chores but for the time being, I'm happy doing a whole lot of not much.

Orema · 07-19-2020, 04:18 AM

Accomplished last week ....

Finished purging-reorganizing my office. It looks nice and feels even better. The only thing left to do is remove the clothes rack for the closet she was going to extend when I was partnered.

Got the carbon monoxide detector hooked up.

Unpacked all my boxes from work.

Gemme · 07-19-2020, 03:06 PM

Not a darn thing, other than getting a boatload of sleep. I woke a little after 8 and decided to go back to bed. Big mistake. I woke with my neck, upper back and shoulder blade area out of whack so now I can't do much of anything without it hurting.

Bèsame* · 07-19-2020, 03:32 PM

After today I can say I accomplished 22 days of continuous work. Whew. I survived. Actually, I'm impressed with that. So many steps. I also noticed some guns abuilding in my arms!

I think mind over matter today got to me though. My eyes were so heavy. Decisions...carry on with the list of things I have to do or take a nap??

Iced coffee. That will do it everytime. Accomplished 4 out of the 7 on my list. Tomorrow is another day. Besides those last 3 things will be quite enjoyable.

I'm sure saving the $$ though. A change in venue is in the works. I'm going to vacation land to live. Noooo, not Margaritaville, lol.
