What I accomplished today
 

Love this thread...
 

among other things
 

- back to yoga, day 2

- I fixed the toilet, because I'm handy like that

[* Dibley the cat and I decided where the birdfeeder should go because he is an indoor cat and needs to have complete viewing capability....

I promise, 10 second derail!......

COLOR T.V., that and the fish aquarium :koolaid:

Worked my butt off today at work on a HUGE project centered on Quality Control, Improvement and Increasing the Rate of Dental Services that are delivered to children enrolled in Medicaid, plus tried to pick up where someone else was slacking off. :hammer: :readrules: :callme: :seconddoh: :fyi: :wallbreak: :pcthink: :tiredcomputer:

Managed to REFRAIN from "boxing the ears" of the guy they say does our in-house I.T., but has NO I.T. background or logical experience....or ANY critical thinking skills or attention span. :seeingstars:

drove the LONG drive home after a long day... :scooter:

Went to dinner on my Rommie's invite... :sushi:

Oogled and Ahhhhhh-ed at several BEAUTIFUL Modular Homes...Daydreamed about their kitchens :chef: :cookielove: :cooking:

Once home again, shaved/groomed my Willy Bear :buzz cut: :dog: so he's easier to bathe before his holiday trip this weekend and so I can treat his mosquito bites on his little legs. He's such a GOOD doggy! His whole body goes limp as a wet-noodle when he's on the grooming table... it makes the job go a lot easier when he's so relaxed and easy to flip & flop him around.

One load of laundry to dry... :laundryday:

ended it all with NICE, soapy, sudsy shower! :bath:

Oppps, forgot to add:
Talked to Mom about her most recent Oncology Results (not good but better than expected, only slightly disappointing) and tried to coordinate administrative issues with her Medicare.

despite the pain, I was able to put away two laundry baskets of clean clothes I did before the pain started...

I actually found my desk...... under a mountain of paperwork I have been avoiding!

Cleaned off PC desk
Hung up my clothes
Took rolling rack down to basement
Threw in a load of laundry
Scooped litter box
Dr appt for Bard's cast
Ate lunch (at Friendly's - double yum!)
Went to Lowe's and got a deep cleaning carpet cleaner
Sprayed down the carpet
Worked 2-11
Transferred washer laundry to dryer and put another load in washer on lunch
Vacuumed dried carpet foam on lunch
Went back to work
Filled truck with gas
Came home and put second load from washer into dryer
Read for class
Posted my initial response for class
