Being there for someone I love.........

- Showed up at work with forty minutes until shift started, so I took out the trash in the break room that had been filled the day prior on my lunch
- Work stuff - uploading driver license information, answering e-mails, etc
- Washed clothes and bed linen once I got home from work at 8:30 p.m. (loveeee clean, fluffy, high count sheets!)
- Put away clean clothes.. was on a roll! Even sorted closet into work and casual clothing, despite having a casual dress code.
- Made my lunch for tomorrow, packed my bag, picked out my clothes and prepped lunch for smooth sailing!

accomplished feeding mounds and mounds of kitties, and not being attacked by a ginormous bee (possibly crazy african bee)


i however didn't succeed in warding off the evils of the significant other. kisses had to be given.

Nailed down two of my deadlines, last night.

Today, will deliver a 'swift kick up side' the head of what has been a tough little challenge.

Then, take a break and enjoy some special time set aside with my 'sugar bear.'

Can hardly wait : )

trimmed hedges, cleaned front flower bed (daffodils and tulips are blooming), saw my elderly neighbor take a spill on her bike (remind me not to get on a bike when i am 77) i escorted her home, laundry, played with the puppies in the sun....movie date later :)

While I tried hard to do something worthwhile at work, it was just not to be today. However, when I got home my accomplishment was building a tv stand, hooking up my new flat screen for the living room. Then moving the other tv into the bedroom and getting that hooked up. All are up and operational.

Here is hoping tomorrow is better. :koolaid:

Laundry, several errands, animal sitting and cooked dinner

This morning's rain delayed my plans a bit...as I didn't have a rain coat to mess around with while I finished setting up my camp wash tub/fish cleaning station and start my breakfast...

When the sun finally broke thru, I walked dogs, arranged supplies where I wanted them, took a LONG hot shower, had breakfast, trouble shot (as "shooted" isn't a word) some mechanical issues, then drove to town for a few things and to pick up my monthly supply of meds.

Today was my first day on a new program that helps uninsured, disabled individuals pay for meds....I HATE being on meds but am very thankful my care team are doing their best to improve my quality of life.
When I picked up the package with 4 'scripts, I had a sudden pleasurable feeling of accomplishment....because this time last year, I had given up hope of finding a good doctor, getting answers, and setting a care plan...and the thought of insurance or AFFORDABLE care made me have meltdowns as I knew I couldn't afford the new health care insurance. ...
So...since last fall (I think starting in September) I have gathered strength to fight the system (NO, I am not eligible for or on Medicaid)...and have set up an AMAZING care team.

Today's accomplishment was, without insurance or state assistance, I reduced my out of pocket expenses for my care down to $20...(total cost would have been $941.28...and sadly none of the RX are covered on Walmart's $4 plan)

This is a HUGE accomplishment for a person that had nearly lost or given up hope that things would get better.

Finished Laundry, went to an appointment, took care of animals and made lunch.

coffee, made breakfast (chorizo and eggs), did the dishes, swept, took my daughter to work, called AAA, mowed the front yard, made dinner (chicken cheese enchiladas in the fridge for later), started the easter baskets (my daughter will finish them tonite), laundry, removed multi color easter nail polish and chose pastel purple for easter nails :)

So far? I woke up and took a breath, that is always a good start.

Later, I have an eye appt. and then I will be doing some work from home for a few hours.

For quite awhile I have been focusing on my education and taking care of my parents. Yesterday out of the blue I had an idea for starting a non-profit business which will utilize my skills and education. Today I have concretized a plan for making that happen. I think I may be on to something big. I need to do more research though. I am actually very excited because it will enable me to work from home and maybe take on board a few very close friends who have the skills needed to go along on this ride. That is what I have accomplished today. Yes it is in thoughts and pen and paper, but this has the potential to change my life entirely.

Accomplished today
 

I cooked food for the week.
Mowed and trimmed around the house.
Washed and dried the laundry.
Cleaned the house.

And made vacation plans with my sweetheart. :)

I logged in and posted this.
 

I got a lot done today! Gosh, it really pays off when I use my dayplanner. :rolleyes:

• I ran errands,
• paid bills,
• canceled a membership that has been draining $10 from my account monthly that I have just been too lazy to cancel,
• did the grocery shopping,
• did some laundry,
• and followed up on some outstanding accounts receivable.

Yay me!

I have been building on my previous post. I registered for my summer classes. Of course one of these will be a directed study to get this non-profit business launched. Hopefully, by Fall or the beginning of the year I will be on a new venture with my life. The professor I chose to work with has over 40 years in mental health services. I got more research done for my specific region to support that this type of service is needed. The professor is supposed to call me in the next few days. I also spoke with most of those friends who I thought of initially. There is one who still hasn't called me. I don't know what is up with that but hopefully he will be on board soon. I am really excited to be on this venture. Finally, work that I am passionate about doing.

Started my day with yoga

Managed to get through the work day even though I wasn't feeling well.


Emptied my cabinets and cleaned them out really well so I could reorganize them.

Did my recycling.


Helped my neighbor wrangle his wayward dogs...I used treats and my poodle as bait..lol

Learned something new.

A whole lot of work stuff.

Installed software on my laptop to sync my cell to said laptop. Was a success - now able to transfer files, pics, apps..etc..etc..

Worked a bit on my website.

Made dinner then did up the dishes.

Now, just relaxing in the peace and quiet that is the evening.

Converted and re-strung this cool guitar I got. It's a vintage sunburst ltd edition Epiphone acoustic. But it was right handed. I play lefty. So I replaced the bridge, saddle, and nut. The pickguard is upside down when I play. But I figure that'll just freak people out.

Worked a full day, finished an essay, packed for my fishing trip. OH and most importantly, had one glorious cup of coffee.

a older bmw i just bought and was so excited about blew a head gasket on the way home...now i have to go back to the place i bought it tomorrow and get my money back since i dont have funds to repair that and it makes.me worry if it damaged something else and whats next...

. the gentleman i bought it from had it for years and loved the car , he paid to have it towed and a mechanic to check it. and then offered to give me my money back. which was a real honest and standup thing to do since the deal was done and over. ...and then i must begin the hunt for another car....again
