What did you accomplish today?

Bèsame* · 08-25-2013, 12:05 PM

whew....

I washed my car. And I'm happy to report I can reach the top if I stand on my toes.

Did a little gardening. Clipped back the garlic Lillie's. I can still smell the scent on my fingers. Then I played a little with the garden hose. It's one of my favorite pastimes. Bare feet and a water hose, I can entertain myself for awhile.

Folded the sheets and towels, and another load in.

Staying in the office and turning on the sewing machine. Some quilting is going to get done today!

What have you accomplished today?

Besides all the usual, everyday stuff, I finally got to work on the shrubs on my back deck that were in pots damaged by Hurricane Sandy. It was a low priority considering my gutted first floor, but now that it's mostly back together on the inside, I don't feel quite as guilty about re-beautifying the outside.

There was 5'-6' of salt water in my backyard, and the deck was submerged. Salt water impregnated the the bottom 8" of those giant clay pots which disintegrated over the subsequent months. I now have beautiful and healthy rosemary, evergreen and blueberry bushes. Most importantly, my precious miniature lavender rose bush given to me by my late partner a dozen years ago, which has seen more than it's share of travails, is very happy in it's new and beautiful home.

Absolutely nada, and I have no intention of accomplishing anything today, other than picking up a new bag of dog food for Chessie...AND...I am not ashamed.

My son Lucas (my wifes oldest boy) ended up with appendicitis, so I figured he might not be going to work for a few days til the stitches heal up, hence ordering him a new book delivered to his kindle. And....yeah, that's all I got done.

cinnamongrrl · 08-26-2013, 08:39 AM

Got up early,

Took the dogs out

Started a load of wash

Hung out another

Went to the gym and humanely killed 300 calories

Came home

Did my only 1 day late timesheet (yay! I should get paid)

Soon to start cleaning...

Maybe a bike ride later...

I got out of bed.

I went to work and stood my ground in our meeting.

I inadvertently got a good friend from high school to actually bring me a coffee and a mountain dew. I only said one or the other and that he didn't have to bring it. But five minutes later he was in front of my office. He's a good guy. And I am fully caffeinated.

I finished the 5th unit in my course...and officially achieved an A average!

cinnamongrrl · 09-09-2013, 07:01 PM

Started fall cleaning the house...

Pulling furniture out and vacuuming/mopping behind everything

Wiped down the wood furniture in the living room with Murphy's oil (love that smelllll)

Trying my best to purge my books....really I am....

Getting stuff together to contribute to my mom's tag sale endeavor

Organized much of what we are keeping

Back pedaled by succumbing to free book temptation...and free pampered chef temptation...and free pretty scarf temptation....

Doubled my scrub's inventory with a mere 20 dollar purchase....woot!

Finally got a new phone...haven't switched over to it yet...baby steps...

Did heaps of wash (some of which is going to tag sale)

Cleaned the fridge....ever my Achilles heel....blech

Did dishes till the cows came home...and left again...and came home again...

Cleaned the kitchen x4ish...good cooks are never tidy cooks....like ever (see above)

Spent nearly 12 hours cleaning someone else's house. At least I get paid to clean there.....

Muddling through some seriously redundant law/ethics stuff...I took that in college...wth...

Kept my real job...yay me!

Achieved an A average in school....

Mended a fence....figuratively, not literally

Took time to look up at the stars and admire a gorgeous sunset....<3
