What's on your agenda today?

Getting wood. I thought I was ready to skate on this chore but we have a storm headed our way. I run wood in my "big room" (20x30?) to cut back on my monthly winter oil bill of $1500.
The weather is great today and a sweat will actually be broke bringing the wood into the house. I have a nearby business where I can get two skid-steer bucket loads of kiln dried wood for basically $160 and that usually lasts me two weeks in real winter weather. Hoping this load will get me through the rest of this winter/spring and into summer front yard campfires.

Well, there was work.
Then I applied a loose ruffle to the skirt of my dress. It was too short. I had to make a plan. I used the scraps I had and made a 4 inch loose flowing ruffle. Looks better than too short. I must say, this has been a labor of love.


My bike (her name is Roxy) got her tires filled yesterday. I'm going to go take a spin a little later.

Let me tell you, the bodice part is not working. It's a wrap around, but there is just too much gap coming across my chest. Sooo, I've tried all my secrets. Nothing is working. I've headed back to the drawing board. I picked a simple sheath dress with a fancy tie sleeve. Then it was the time to pick a new fabric. Perused for a for a few days and finally found it! Ordered it and it has arrived! Yay!

Vertical lines, figure flattering! And in my colors!

1. Try to get some sleep. It's 4 a.m. and I haven't slept in two days. I'm not sleepy now. But I really need to get some sleep, because

2. At 10:30 a.m. I have a doctor's appointment. I will have to get up by 7:45 a.m. to shower and get dressed. It takes me awhile to do those things these days.

3. Lunch at my favorite burger place as a reward for the doctor's visit. Yes, I deserve a reward. It's one of those really invasive doctor visits.

4. Catch up on texting with some friends.

5. Work on a craft project.

My agenda today is to make an agenda for my house cleaner. Yes, we did "break up", but she just happens to be in town this week and has Friday available. I can't afford her, but I really need her, so this is a one off.

[easygoingfemme]

*Shower/dress/makeup/coffee- check
*Check seedlings- check: Sprouts, people. We have sprouts!
*Work. Many meetings scheduled today. Boo.
*Continue search for geriatric practitioner for my father
*Home
*Make dinner- salads with leftover grilled chicken
*Rest depends on weather. If the rain stops, I'll go walk for a while. If not, I have more seeds to get started.

Mmm, I can almost smell the wood smoke.

I'm setting up a tea station in my room. I don't know why I never thought of this before. Prior to now, I only got tea if I asked the boy to make it, and I hate to ask him to do this kind of thing very often. He already does so many chores. But I ordered an electric tea kettle (introduced to me by a Canadian friend - I don't know why, but we don't really use these in the South - we used the kind you put on the stove). Anyway, I've got room for my 3 favorite teas and a tea cup on a shelf, and I'm moving some stuff around so I can have the kettle next to my Brita water pitcher. I can't wait to relax with some Honey Vanilla Chamomile.

It has just occurred to me that I could have used the microwave. Oh, well.
