What did you accomplish today?

[Orema]

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.

I retrieved the holiday decorations from my basement yesterday and Today they are out and up including the tree with all her glorious adorun-ments ! Ms Sasha inspected every step of that process

In my travels up and down I noticed light switch plates: Who/what/where/why in the hell did all those go unclean in my 40 yrs living here? Need less to say: they ALL are cleaned and replaced (goodlord am I getting blind)

Put a kroeger discounted ya-woo discounted chuck roast in the crock pot with carrots, celery, onions and red potatoes for dinner. Added a nice bottle and my weekend is complete.

Today I acquired many several things from marketplace for my new place. It was like a scavenger hunt. I found the most perfect cabinet for kitchen storage. And it was free!
Also took the steps necessary to enroll in the one pre req I need for a nursing program I’m applying to for September. It was literally down to the wire. One seat left in the class and I had to prove I had the pre requisite necessary for it. The online process is lengthy so I made the trek to my old college to get it done the old fashioned way.
Yet more organizing left to do. I can’t wait until my days off are actually relaxing….

Golly where to begin:

Moving into a hastily vacated apartment that definitely lacked a woman’s touch.

I had to clean everything. I also had to pack up the remainder of the last tenants belongings to make room for my own things. Not cool. But I’ll have money taken off my rent.

I bought one last stocking stuffer - no, I didn't need it, but I think it will be fun. It is 10 tiny cans of Play-Doh. It will give us something to play with while we sit and watch Christmas movies.

I made a big pot of soup that will keep us fed until Christmas Day.

I looked up "Stollen" so I will know what it is when my friend brings me one she made. I hope it's good; her creations are sometimes hit or miss. No matter what, I will offer her a slice while we drink cafecitos and I will act like it's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Hopefully not much acting will be required.

I had a wee bit too much Jim Beam and ended up spilling some family secrets to the boy. He met more of them at the Christmas dinner a few days ago, so he had context. We laughed and laughed.

Sometime before I go to bed I have to take a shower and wash my hair. Our family Christmas gathering is tomorrow, and if I wait until tomorrow to shower and wash my hair I will then be too tired to go to the party. Almost any kind of effort really wears me out these days. I have already picked out an outfit and accessories. All the presents are wrapped.

I made it to the dinner and had a great time. I did not fall down, I did not break down crying (not even when one of my gifts was a quilt with photos of all our beloved family members on it, including the dead ones). I made it home safely and climbed the stairs (Yay me!).
