Today was my Monday at work and we were very busy.
But I got off work early, so there’s that.

Now, I’m just about to drift off to dreamland….but I am listening to some good stuff (https://youtu.be/TurM4wB4H7o) and will curl up soon with my love….who is my everything.

Here is a thought I saw earlier today and I like it:

“Don’t pray for a miracle. Be a miracle.”

Nite nite

Gemme · 08-13-2023, 02:12 PM

So far, just two loads of laundry and tootling around. I got home very early this morning and slept late, so for me, that's an accomplishment too.

GeorgiaMa'am · 08-13-2023, 10:32 PM

I worked on taxes today.

Orema · 08-21-2023, 02:03 AM

Yesterday I organized my office closet. That’s where my tools, supplies, computer, music and project equipment are kept. I put most items in see-through plastic containers with lids and labels. Tossed out a lot, but kept some things, too.

Completed a couple loads of laundry.

Today I plan on repotting a newly-started lemon basil and a sweet basil plants. Maybe start some inside cannabis plants. I got some seeds from Amsterdam right before I moved here and I just hope they’re still good.

Puchase some fresh-cut flowers for the dining room table.

Get some prices on having a bush removed from my lot since the HOA is taking their damn time removing it. Tsk.

Orema · 09-08-2023, 07:43 AM

I was able to get the HOA to reduce the amount of water used to irrigate my lawn thereby reducing my water bill. My water bill for the 2022 summer months was $450. I almost had a baby when I saw that bill last year.

The HOA board blew me off when I brought it to their attention. Told me about inflation and city requirements for nice lawns. That didn't go over well with me.

I went to the Department of Public Works and spoke with the Superintendent. He also thought it a was an outrageous amount for my size lot and he didn’t like it.

He told me what to do, what to say, what to expect from my HOA board and what to expect from his department. If necessary, he was willing to show me how to turn off the sprinkler system for my lot if I couldn’t get the HOA to turn it off when it rains. He told me to let them know that he was monitoring this situation (even though there was little that he could do since I signed a contract with the HOA when I purchased the condo). Still, he was hoping his name and department would carry some weight. It did.

I went back to the HOA board and got their full attention. I asked for a 50% reduction of water and got a 35% reduction. I asked for the watering schedule and got that, too. Again I asked for a map of the zones and sprinkler heads and this time I received it. They showed me how to turn off the sprinklers when it rains. They also replaced or repaired sprinklers that weren’t working properly. This summer’s bill was $281. The DPW Superintendent and I still think that’s high, but it’s a good start.

I’ll send a letter to the HOA board letting them know I appreciate the changes, the changes made a difference, and that I’d like to know of any future changes in the water schedule, zones, sprinkler heads, etc.

I'll drop off some donuts for the Superintendent and his team.

I've been moanin' and groanin' about the water situation since I moved here. So glad this battle is behind me, at least for now.

Long list, let's just say Ima have to go back to work to get some rest

GeorgiaMa'am · 11-12-2023, 05:16 PM

I got my healthcare.gov application for 2024 healthcare coverage done. And the price they gave me is $180 less than what the State told me it would be! Apparently I qualified for some kind of bonus, and now my premium is less than $100 per month. (Also I live in one of those awful States that handles its own healthcare insurance. Very annoying, does not completely dovetail with the national healthcare insurance. Causes miscommunication.)

GeorgiaMa'am · 11-23-2023, 01:51 AM

I organized my bathroom today. I did one load of laundry. And then I did ART!

Blade · 11-26-2023, 04:29 PM

Not just today because I've actually been lazy today. The past week I have cleaned my entire livingroom, dusted ever figurine shelf or anything else that could be cleaned or dusted. Cleaned off and dusted 4 cabinets/bookcases. Vacuum Vacuum Vacuum. Cleaned the ceiling fan. Loaded my new gun safe and also pit important papers in it. Did I mention dusted pictures. Lord I'm getting tired talking about it. Ima have to go back to work to rest

nhplowboi · 11-28-2023, 04:19 PM

I pulled a Kelce and did a "two things at once" by getting both a flu and RSV shot. Got the shots at Wally so also picked up some groceries. While I was out and about I filled the car's gas tank (ouch) and grabbed some adult beverages for my tank. Oh and I did a load of laundry. I guess it was basically a day of adulting.

cinnamongrrl · 11-30-2023, 06:06 PM

Today I managed to hang a new mini blind and put my daybed together. For both I had only primitive tools (Allen wrench?? Why &#128563

I won’t say cussing didn’t occur….but I feel rather proud and strangely empowered. If I don’t end up on the floor in the middle of the night I’ll chalk this one up as a win!

Orema · 12-10-2023, 09:36 AM

This weekend I replaced the rug in my office. Was able to move everything out (and back in) on my own and didn't need my dolly. I took small trips with small loads (using a laundry basket) and I made sure I could easily get from room to room without breaking my neck. I started on Friday and ended today so it took three days, but I made it happen.

I also got a chance to do a bit of purging.

It looks soooo nice with the new area rug and was worth the effort.
