Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I accomplished complaining to my pet supply place about the delivery mishap they did. Today I got an email from them telling me they are sorry and they are giving me a $30.00 refund for my troubles. They also gave me a link to help with delivery issues. I think I DID accomplish something!
 

10 1/2 hours in the car today as I drove to the Atlanta area, picked up my mom, and returned her to her house. Add that to the 7 hours on tuesday and i have terminal autobuttitis.

Though the purpose in coming home was to start looking at assisted living facilities, she immediately announced on arriving home that she wants to continue living in her home.

I'm going to jump off the first bridge I come to......
 
It is "Field Day Friday" around our house and I have finished my chores in the kitchen, dusting, running the vacuum over the carpeted areas and cleaning the patio and the front porch. It is time for a bite to eat.

You done good! :geek: :ROFLMAO: :giggle: (y)
 
On Saturday, I did my normal chores, paid the bills, refilled all the birdfeeders, and then finally sat down and wrote 12 checks for various charities. I have no excuse for putting it off, but the news provided a stark reminder that people need help and the food banks are having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

Today I have not accomplished very much at all. With a heat index of 104F it was too hot to work outside and the Sunday edition of the New York Times was delivered in addition to our local rag. Reading was the "order of the day."

My wife cooked a fabulous baked salmon dish with maple syrup sauce, asparagus and baked sweet potato. That woman spoils me, and I am smart enough to know it.

I will probably ride the recumbent bike later this evening just to get a little more physical activity than the puppy has provided.
 
Yep got quite a lot done today despite the 95 degree heat and high humidity. Finally after being closed for months due to Covid-19 the local waste recycle centres are open fully , so at long last we were able to take the junk that's been sitting behind the barn.. I'm so relieved to get that gone to the waste site, particularly as it was almost all rigid plastics.

Then to the stores to buy paint, and rollers, and coving and associated stuff for the redecoration of my office room this week...

Couldn't resist a small KFC while were passing a Take -out restaurant that's just opened. We don't have KFC anywhere near us, so I don't get it often..just 2 drumsticks and that was enough..and took it to sit out in the pub garden while we had ice cold drinks...

it's past midnight now, too hot to sleep at 70 deg f even with the oscillating floor fans .. wish it would storm and get rid of this stickiness

A 2 mile walk with the dogs this morning, then a 20 mile bicycle ride with the wife before she had to go to work. I've dried and hung the laundry she started and then washed and dried the sheets. I have yet to put them on the bed. I'm finishing up cooking some chicken right now. I also added 80 songs to iTunes and updated them with ratings, groupings and comments.
 
I accomplished a lot Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Sunday I re-potted several plants. Moved some plants in the yard from one place to another, watered both yards which are large, picked squash out of my garden for a neighbor. Shopped for groceries. Shopped for mulch, while we used mostly black we bought some red for a bit of contrast.

Washed my towels and when I went to dry them, dryer quit. 🤦🏻‍♀️ After fiddling with it several times throughout the day, it finally started. It’s only 10 months old stupid thing. Talked to my husband, always a chore I try to avoid. 😂

Anyway, I did more than I can mention and feel I should not have to do another thing for at least a year, if only that were possible.

Are you sure it was your mom you picked up and not mine? 🤣. She has done the same thing to my brother several times. Thank heaven she prefers him. Wait, you aren’t my brother, are you? 🤪
 
It's 2.30pm.... 96 deg f.. Hot! Hot! ☀☀☀... I've been out in the back garden trimming back Ivy on the brick shed wall, and trimming back the Bay tree, and choisya ... Pruned the roses out front 🌹 and swept the front doorstep and brushed down the very heavy rubber matting ..

Took delivery of a new Window Blind this afternoon for the office to replace the ones there already

Cleared out the kitchen cupboard that hold the rolls of cling film /foil etc.. and cleaned those shelves down before replacing everything neatly into fitted baskets.. hung 2 pictures on the kitchen wall

Uploaded a few photos to the photo thread here.. and now I'm having a rest with a cold drink before we get started filling screw holes in the office and prepping the walls and ceiling for painting
 
Yesterday, it was gloomy and rainy all day. I got out my candle making supplies and made 17 candles. They are scented as "snow evergreen"... and they will be Christmas gifts to my friends..... along with the real vanilla concoction sitting on the utility shelf that needs to infuse for six months.
Today.... I'm getting my flu shot. Yeah, it is early, but who wants to get the flu and covid at the same time? I got my second shingles vaccine last week.... I spent a day in bed, but I read that this was normal. I'm hoping the flu vaccine doesn't do the same thing.... but then, I don't every have to get another shingle shot.... and hopefully I won't have the flu this winter.
