It was a glorious start, no alarm! That's what vacations are made for!
|
As soon as it warms up tomorrow, bathe and trim 2 dirty dogs.
|
I have been using my interior design skills the past few days. I've re arranged furniture and have hung many (over 35, like the whole new townhome)pictures.
Tomorrow, it's making new door wreaths and visiting the jeweler. |
First, happy to take a day off! I'm in the middle of fashion show chaos and Easter outfits! Oh, wait, Mother's day is around the corner. If I can survive that, I'll have a vacation waiting for me.
Today, new kitty and I went to see a new vet. In my previous vet experiences, those kitties did not like the ride. This kitty was a piece of cake! Next, I have a little straightening up around here, and some errands. I'm looking for a teal/peacock chalk paint color. Going to give my rocking chair a makeover. I have found the perfect piece of floral linen to cover the seat. Looks like rain this afternoon...no car wash in the future. |
Dee the Bot & Spring blooms
I turned on the "Deebot" roomba and went out to do yard work. I attacked the spring garden with the electric hedge trimmer. Geraniums were so leggy they were trying to walk away. Down to the ground again. Relocated one of the fragrant lavender's to the back yard. Lipstick sage that the humming birds love, have been weed whacked back to cleanliness. The 15 year old ficus,( I received when I was in the hospital that long ago) looked all straggly, and has a new haircut. Now, after some tea n honey, back out to fill the yard waste container. :tea:
As the world turns, Dee the Bot just passed by and looks happy. All is well at Casa South. :typewriter: I smell of dirt and flowers, and the cats woke up long enough to see DeeBot and are ignoring us. |
Text with my younger half sisters and talk crap on the older half sisters!
I know it sounds horrible but that's how we roll! I guess with family things are different. |
Today was an absolutely beautiful day. I opened the back door and all the windows.
I started to spring clean, first, with the warm winter clothes out of the closet and under the bed in storage boxes. Pretty new highlights were added to my hair. Planted some pink geraniums out on the balcony. Did the mundane laundry routine..😖 (all with the soundtrack of the 80's, in the background) Next I'm out to the kitchen for Easter dinner for one and to make Asparagus quiche for lunches next week. |
If I'm ambitious, laundry and other chores. If I'm not, napping and procrastinating... Guess we'll see which side wins. :D
|
Return another air fryer I bought. I really don't have the room for it and I can't find one I like.
|
..
Much needed spring cleaning, going thru closet, drawers, cupboards, etc. then on to either filing or shredding TONS of paperwork! |
....
Resting......... |
I'm still working on my painting project but it's not coming out exactly as I'd hoped so I have to go and get a couple things today that will help me finish it up. I also need to go get canned cat food or Loki might eat me for dinner instead. A quick trip to the bank as well and it's back home and to work.
|
OMGoodness.
Tight agenda today that started yesterday.... Bagels cream cheese bananas/strawberries water/oj napkins/plates/table cloth ice for the cooler Today: Donuts fresh ice for the cooler and Final Exam with a side of breakfast for my students! Happy Final |
Packing for our 5 day vacation, in a lovely hotel, in a lovely place!
Since we normally just hitch our house up and go, I forget how long it takes to pack up stuff you MIGHT need while on the road.:byebye: |

It's breakfast and paid work and then more fun work on my project. I'm close to finishing the painting. This is the chance I took with a roadside find but I think it will wind up working out with a little more love.

On my agenda today is another visit to the Orthopaedic surgeon to discuss another revision surgery to my right knee (this time). I need to have the plastic/composite (cartilage substitute) disc replaced and some debridement and radiation done to discourage long term bone growth over the prosthetic appliance.
This will be, in the overall scheme of things, my 8th surgery on my knee(s), since 1987. ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Wake up- check
Feed all of the freeloading animals- check Coffee- check Work out- check Shower/dress/gussy up- check Work and survive the experience- currently working on Tonight- start grief counseling through Hospice Go tuck nephews into bed Go home and tuck myself into bed. |
My agenda got hijacked and re-routed several times in mostly positive ways.
I woke up with a day ahead of me that was mine to decide upon. I woke up with grief heavy on my chest making it hard to breathe right. I drank coffee, I showered, I mowed the lawn, I ate half of a sandwich. I got out on my bike with intentions of a good long ride. But the grief was so heavy on my chest that it was hard to breathe through it so I took the ride I could and told myself I was doing the best I can right now and I cut it short. I came home and wandered around ADD style trying to decide what chore to do but nothing felt right. The sun was out and it's beautiful and my mother and I have been having a really hard time deciding what to do for mother's day five weeks after my brother/her son dying. We are both having a really hard time doing anything that is "normal" around other people who don't know what is going on. I called her to see if she wanted to go to a green house to get some flowers and plant some gardens. She told me that she woke up wanting to do a garden with me. An herb garden that we share. (We live down the road from each other) So we did. I got us a really nice rustic barrel and we got basil and cilantro, lavender, and rosemary and thyme and dill and marigolds to keep the bugs away. We planted together. It was healing. It helped today. I feel a little better now. A few more chores and reading on the porch for me tonight. |
I woke up with long list of stuff to do and by the middle of the day, my agenda had simply been reduced to just getting through the day. Thankfully, that was successful.
