Part of me really misses the days when I could throw a swimsuit and a spare outfit in the back seat of the car and take off for the beach. But no, I need my creature comforts and all the stuff that keeps me alive, and I really don't want to drive that far any more.

GeorgiaMa'am I hope you're having a wonderful and well deserved vacation!

So far today, I visited my father, then visited a friend recovering from a rough surgery. Now I'm loading up to get in the car and drive a couple of hours to meet a friend for what should be an epic haunted house experience. Mwahahahaha.

I'm tired and haven't been sleeping well but I think this trip will perk me up!

- pick up Brittany from the doggy spa/kennel and love, love, love on her!
- pay a bill
- empty trash cans
- order a new phone
- open packages that came while I was away

- pay bills
- check in with a friend whose mother recently died
- try to sort out the ringtones on my new phone

OOOh exciting! I got a mini hydro grower last year and am learning how to use it too. Last year it was good for indoor growth but not for transplanting outside ... hopefully next year works better!

Reframing a 24"x36" poster that I was going to throw away. Mine is in a silver frame and I'm reframing it in a black frame similar to the one in the photo above.

Before tossing it out I took a look online to see if I could find it. I found it here going for as much as $1,500.

I decided to keep it and reframe it because mine is in very good condition even though I've had it for over 40 years.

I'll see if I can sell it.

I should eat dinner but am not hungry.
I shall now go between panicking about the election tomorrow and telling myself that panicking does nothing to help the situation.

Well. I got through work. It's more rough than usual with everything going on.

I spent some time collecting broken pieces of glass from where we have been smashing things. Our rage space. We will make art of it.

I cooked a healthy dinner for my mom and I.

I stopped over at the house I'm readying to buy. It's a family house so I'm grateful I can do that. Did a little this and that.

But my goodness I'm exhausted. I don't think it's daylight savings, though that isn't helping. This emotional ride and preparing for the fight to come feels like such a weight on my entire body. We needed more than four years to recover from the last time.

I had all kinds of plans and they got changed today. I was going to spend the long day in the garden, but I woke up with a scratchy throat and my ears hurt. So I just decided to stay in the house. I cleaned a little bit and I’m doing a load of linens. Brushed out the dog making a huge pot roast. I’m gonna read a book about the I 70 murderer Herb baumeister. I was gonna put up my tree today too, but when I decide to be lazy, I give myself full approval in regard to everything lol.

• Listen to inspiring music, that's on the agenda e'ryday.
• Read the news from an international perspective.
• Do my taxes. Should be easy peasy as long as I have the right documents.
• Watch some TV.
• Make some gummies.

I should exercise, but I might not get to it. Should do some laundry, but that can wait, too.

Every Sunday I work a bit on my personal project
 

We have an annual staff meeting after work today, but other than going to work and attending our staff meeting, I’ve been working on a project that my therapist and I began a couple years ago. I’ve been creating a journal of events and achievements from my lifetime, and including photographs from each event (etc). I found a small business out in Michigan that specializes in publishing these types of personal endeavors, so I’m publishing my private journal via this small business. I would have chosen a small business locally, but my favorite print shop went out of business during king chaos’s last reign of terror. I feel lucky that I found this fabulous print shop out in Michigan.

Sorry about your hamstring! :(

Shower curtain: what a smart way to get a lot of fabric (presumably) inexpensively! Now that Jo Anne is closing all their stores, are you going to bargain hunt and stock up on supplies?

- Today I have to get my battery jumped off and drive around awhile. My car has been sitting since before Christmas. The few times I have gone anywhere it has been easier to take Lyft or I rode with someone else. But now I need my car back.

- Seriously clean the kitchen.

- Cut up a pork loin into chops and freeze them and some chicken pieces. I got a good sale.

- Call Orkin and the handyman.
