Omg... I mean WHERE I want curtains .... geeez. :canadian: :rofl:

drink it like it's hot.
 

holy Hannah there's just too much today to post about!!
 

But my moust proud moment...

I walked FOUR WHOLE MILES up and back Edisto Beach!!! I hiked at a fast pace up to the cove where the best shells are carrying a large, backpack style camera case and a shell bucket WITHOUT PAIN...by the time I made it to the curve of the cove, my bucket was FILLED with incredible spiral shaped shells, about TEN POUNDS....I took a break to sit and sort my favorites and take pictures.... felt so rejuvenated and refreshed!! Soooo peaceful and happy!!....

With my extra heavy bucket, I didn't hike so fast back, but I made good time only stopping long enough to switch my bucket to a different side (it started to feel like 40 pounds)...still without pain in my back, legs or SI joints!! ...only a little winded and arms a bit tired from gear...got back to my friends with a HUGE smile on my face, and sooooo tickled with the special treasure trove I found!!

Had a late lunch...hiked back out to the pier to take three videos of the crashing surf fora sweet friend...loved walking in the soothing, crystal clear waves as I took a video of my sandy sexy femme feet as the wind whipped my skirt around my ankles....sooo very content that I could do this without assistance walking or losing my balance and NO FEAR of the water!! Only intense pleasure and contentment!

Now we're driving back to the Angel Tree to get pictures of the snow white squirrel for my favorite buddy. ...still no pain, only slightly tired muscles.

Anyone reading this may go BIG DEAL...that's ok... In more than two years, I haven't been able to walk more than a few yards without great difficulty or pain or assistance ...and doing steps ir uneven ground has been misery....

Today was like a new beginning for me!!!

Exactly zero. And it was terrific. :)

friday i went to work, took my car to the shop at lunch, came home when my car was fixed, mowed the grass and went to the grocery store

today i babysat a 3 and 5 year old, did laundry, fixed the garage door opener and took a nap...

tomorrow...i am doing nothing :)

Sorry for my typos in my big post above... I was trying to type as Blade was driving the truck over bumpy Edisto roads on our way with several other friends to the Angel Tree...as soon as we got there, I was requested to climb over the tailgate to stand in the back with the camera as we drove down a dirt road with all of us on "look out" for the snow white squirrel. ...we found it!! Everyone so excited, but at nearly sunset, it jumped thu the trees and over the road so fast, I couldn't focus the camera fast enough....by the time I got back to my post...it was too late to edit.

What else did I accomplish today?? Riding Shotgun and climbing over tall tailgates in a FULL LENGTH SKIRT without showing my ass!! ...lol...

My GF and I made major strides today in cleaning out my garage to ready my house for sale.

We took two truckloads of furniture, clothing, etc., over to Goodwill and one load to Out of The Closet.

I am embarrassed to say that I found some things in my garage that 1) I forgot that I had and 2) that I thought I lost during my move when I bought my house almost 15 years ago.

Since I did not even know that I still had them: they were donated.

I finally feel that we are making progress!

I accomplished the directions my Dr. gave me on Thursday when I was told that more than likely, I had the flu. I rested and sipped water all day long.

Accomplished today
 

I am taking it easy and enjoying some football.
Also, made the bed, 3 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and starting the Sunday cooking marathon for the meals next week.

Okie doki .... posted photo of my repainted sign ... so much cuter. Painted water to look like Emerald Coast.... blue sky instead of white .... teal woodie... orange welcome and border.

I noticed the trim around woodie windows don't stand out..... will rethink that.

calder dairy.
 

I went into the big city and purchased Valomilk candy. It was about a twenty minute drive but worth it.. I hope lol.

I also ate dinner while I was out there.

Early morning chores...fed chickens and guinea birds...fed furry critters...
Collected eggs (17 pretty ones made me proud of my little flock)...
Managed to test my sugar, feed myself, put a few things away, walked dogs, get meds then crash again from damn sinus infection...
At around 1pm, I broke my fever...at 2:20 I made a pb&j sandwich with my homemade strawberry jam...more meds.. lots of tea...walked dogs cleaned up after one sick one...looked for my inhaler.... washed my face with hot cloth and peppermint eucalyptus soap....crashed again ...

Accomplished today
 

I drove 6 hours round trip to count oysters and take water samples in a marsh adjacent to the beach. Not a bad day.

Now make breakfast and lunch for tomorrow.

Since 7 am I've cleaned all the Crap off the front porch. Cleaned the porch.. tossed a giant trash can full of garbage off said porch..... hung plant chandelier ... put all my stuff by Grace ... moved all my painting supplies ...projects moved. .... chased goober twice, she fled the scene of chaos. S coaxed her into her car, hee hee.

Took shower. Bought painter's tape for cheep at Restore.... treated me to sundae and Route 44 diet cherry limeade at SONIC...mmmmmmm.

Am freeking exhausted. Two loads of laundry.... someone of the Kitty species has the runs... geezus... still finding it in secret spaces. If I have any energy later I will put up tape to finish touch up work on cabinets.

7 am to 4 pm... 9 f*****g hours of cleaning lifting tossing ..... she better notice or she's getting mine.

After being a couch tater with my box of tissues, and meds making me sleep half the day...I made an awesome yummy dinner and a trip to get groceries.

I took on my email in-box today, and read, moved and tossed throughout the day. It is now empty, and hopefully I can keep up with it now. It can be daunting, if I ignore it for several days. Yay me!

I was worried that I wouldn't get much done today because yesterday we had severe winds that knocked out power and left a lot of people stranded. It took me longer to get home (I walked home), but strangely my feet felt okay today. I managed to be at work and I managed to get a few things done tonight at home. Of course, right now, my feet and legs are propped up, properly. : )

I worked 7 hours of OT, showered, went to dinner with a friend, and now I'm just relaxing.

The online training from hell is now complete.:grindevil:

large oak tree in the front yard is being trimmed, plumber appointment made for after 4pm (earliest i could get if i dont want to wait til monday) rough draft on a surprise project is done, now i just need pay bills, order a b day present for mom and get some halloween candy!

Did a final once over then transmitted Medicare 68% Settlement Requests for 5 of my hospital clients. I am SO glad that bit of joy is finished.

I did not accomplish anything yesterday. I hope to change that today. :byebye:

It's still early .. fed goober's.... cleaned litter boxes ... made breakfast .... did dishes .. tidyed kitchen ....cleaned up hairball ... let Sophie out then in ... bitched about the trash still being in the kitchen ... I did ask nicely .... oh well.... ssdd....

I got stuff done yesterday. Sanded bamboo table ... the holder for the mirror on my antique dresser... why don't peeps take care of nice things? Do they feel unworthy of nice things? Not good enough? I have those thoughts sometimes ... do you? Funny how they creep into your inner monologue. Where do they come from? Why do we believe them? They have no authority. No validity.

Today is beautiful again. Think I will spend most of it outside. :rrose:

just a little sore from yesterday... I put railing around the front deck.. what a pian in the but, but it sure looks better.
today is going to be just my reg. house work and chores

i created custom cd labels for my moms b- day cd, trimmed the shrubs in the front yard and winterized the outdoor plumbing (i have an injury to prove it) i have some housework and laundry to do then a snuggle date tonite :)

Cleaned the barn, then ran errands to pay bills and washed my truck.

Paid bills, gassed up the pickup, had lunch and a power juice with a friend, and then conducted two, hour long private training sessions back to back. The dogs were both cute and attentive... the humans, not so much.
Stopped on my way home and bought groceries for the week.
Cleaned out the fridge, took trash to the curb for tonight's pick-up. Re-potted my oregano, rosemary and chives. :weightlifter:

Let's see.. usual feeding frenzy... opening closing ceremonies, third coat of paint, touch up on cabinet doors for Grace.

Finally decided on quote.

Love me tender, Love me sweet, Never let me go.

I voted.

And as always, I tip my hat and say thanks to those who fought the fight.

managed to wake up on time despite forgetting to set my alarm (correctly)

got through a hellish 8 hour shift...with only a 30 minute break

got home and FINALLY cleaned the upper cabinets in the kitchen...and I also scrubbed the ceiling and backsplash and part of the walls.. I just can't help myself...

remembered to go out for kitten food...and me food

resisted the urge to get out of my car and tell off some dude who kept flashing his brights on me....that burns my ass...

got back and fed the animals, and me

put some stuff up in the now clean cabinets...

picked damn near a peck of peppers and threw them in the dehydrator (best.gift.ever!) the house smells sooo good...

showered and took the kitty in to get some steam...she has a bad cold but is improving by the day :)

read while cuddling with the furkids...

Finished packing and loaded the truck up.

Went to town to finish some business and got lunch!

I fixed my truck today. That's enough for one day.

A bunch
Washed and dried 2 loads of clothes

cleaned up a few wood items for my buddy's shop
researched a few items to price
returned 2 items one at the hardware store and one at Wally World

what I didn't get to do was stop by a former coworkers house and pick up his chickens, maybe tomorrow

Humm...
cleaned /sanded /painted 6 kitchen drawers (4 turquoise 2 white)
Scrubbed hardware so they will be clean and shiney again
Cooked lunch
Usual critter routine
4 loads laundry
cleaned fridge

Still gotta find perfect contact paper liner. Found fabulous black and white print... but as usual can't remember what store I was at... I know I know... lol

Going to do something artsy to the drawers .... will try to remember to photograph my finished project. So fun!!!

The white drawers are painted with a oil based enamel. Because I'm doing the fronts. They are behind a cabinet door, but i want the fronts to be like the white top cabinets. Bright clean and washable.

The turquoise drawers are painted with acrylic flat water based paint. I'm just doing the sides in /outside. I will finish them with poly acrylic gloss so they will be washable. Plus to protect my artwork.

:artist:

I vacuumed, wiped down and painted the bottom shelves of my cabinets...

As I cleaned I also scrubbed the floor and baseboard under it

Cleaned some of the wall in the kitchen too; it's not coming very clean and will require painting..

Went to the Laundromat to do up my work clothes etal

Perused the thrift store while my wash was going; found the perfect toothbrush holder for the bathroom...plus two books...ahem

Got my groceries for the week...

Remembered to gas up my car so that I don't have to do it in the morning

Put the rest of the picked peppers in the dehydrator. I have FOUR MORE TRAYS!! (I did two already..)

Best of all...I got my library card today :)

Worked my eight hour shift, played with the pups, took mom to dinner and then picked up the dog presents in the yard.
