Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

We are doing ok, Holly. Contending with this virus thing and now wildfire smoke smell from a wildfire northwest of us. Want to take our boat again, but can't with this smoke smell.
Funny, we moved back here to Colorado for things we did in the summer when we lived here before, but that sure hasn't happened!

Yes it's been a terrible year for everyone hasn't it . in one way or another?.. sorry you have wildfires there at the moment, my daughter has had them this week on her mountain, so close she could see the flames, which was very scary...
We're desperate to get out to see our Daughter, and to get to our home in Spain but of course we can't currently because there's a blanket 2 week quarantine on anyone visiting Spain or returning ...we can only hope that this time next year we'll be singing from a much better and healthier hymn sheet

Wow, you did it all didn't you? I'd like to have a day like that! ;)

Yes but sleep almost 12 hours last night which is so unlike me. I’ve decided to give our house a complete overhaul. We have most of our new kitchen cabinets in now which is very exciting. It’s taking a while but it’s getting done at least

Didn't accomplish much today; it was a blur of a day. Did some cleaning and rearranging cabinets. Slept this afternoon for about 2 hours. Now, I'm wide awake. Received a call from a cousin back home.

The biggest surprise was receiving a huge flower arrangement from another cousin in Austin, Texas. It was quite a surprise. View attachment 118553

See! You are loved . Much more important than being sexy. IMO
 
I did all my morning chores and then modified the gate we had set up to keep puppy Daisy in the kitchen. She had learned that she could jump over it which is something that none of our other Bichons did, and we have had five of them over the last 25 years. Even our English Setter never jumped over it.

I added six inches to the height.

That solution lasted about 45 seconds.

It is back to the Drawing Board for me. Daisy is the most energetic, entertaining, and mischievous puppy we have ever had, she likes to run free, and she does not believe in going to jail in the kitchen when she is naughty. She is also way too smart for her own good.
 
Accomplished getting my car battery jumped by the roadside assistance co. I am with. Now I'm really glad I signed up for a year with them for 26.00 Through an auto care garage that would have probably cost me at least $150.00 I'm guessing. Took a short ride and then to the drug store to pick up a prescription.
 
@hollydolly I have bookmarked that paint website with the link your provided. Not sure if they have that particular paint here in the states but when I can afford to buy it or something comparable I will. I also still have an injured hand and wrist. I'm seeing a doctor on Friday about it. I couldn't paint now with my hand and wrist the way they are but if it ever gets better I have the bookmarked link--thanks, again!:giggle:🤓
 
Dryer quit last night, called to have the repair guy. It’s still under warrant. LG is off my like list. Got more little plants moved and replanted so only 40 to go. Doing the watering which takes forever. Removed some annals that apparently done blooming. Making progress with the front yard for sure.

Off to Costco for groceries and Home Depot to buy a clothes line, 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Got all but 2 cart full of stones moved to my project in the back.....that was yesterday......used 4 yards of stones, the area was bigger than i thought.
Today, doing some leveling with the stones......set up my 3 raised garden frames.....next task.....is to set the frames in place and level them.
In the hot weather days, only work outside in mornings and after supper......yesterday was 31, today is 33.
Broke down the cartons the frames were in, for recycle.
Now.......the big job next is......filling them up with soil......i know i will need a tarp to unload the dirt on......need 3 yards......but where will i have it dumped......thinking on the other side of my east fence in the back......but.......have a spread of smaller stones to keep things cleaner.....will be some hard pushing with my cart.
Will have to do some thinking on where to dump the dirt.
Very pleased how my project has turned out.

Always start my day with some daily cleaning chores....very seldom miss a day.

I'll do some snaps, when the raised garden gets more presentable.

Lots of things are being accomplished in this house in the name of renovation, and a very capable O/H... currently he's fitting new skirting boards in the new office room .

I've put my back out, it's very painful, caused by helping with the renovations, and lifting things that are far too heavy..., screamed trying to get out of bed this morning.. :cry: so I'm getting around slowly using canes.. but I've still managed albeit very carefully and deliberately to get the laundry done this morning.. and have a shower.. That's a huge achievement at the moment (y)

@hollydolly . I just wanted to say I hope your back is improving. Take care now. 🤗
 
The first thing in the morning, I have my coffee...I then started the washing machine to load the week's clothes....Then the dryer....I just folded
the clothes....I went outside with hubby, he was fixing the robot for the pool....He just bought a new part....I did some things outside in the yard..
We are going to cut the lawn in a while....Not going anywhere....We did get food at the supermarket last Saturday....Will last for a while...
In the freezer and the Fridge....Be Well, everyone....♥

I think a sprained wrist is not only extremely painful but very inconvenient especially since it is your main hand. Do you try and keep your arm in a sling? I would have to do that to avoid using that side.

Yes, I often think I’ll like my shot. Then I think I have to wait in the waiting room, then walk through the building and wait in the exam room, then walk to the procedure room and have the procedure, then to the procedure waiting room where I have to stay for 10 minutes or more. Then walk through the building to get out.

It is major exposure in an HVAC building. I don’t think I’m so much afraid as trying to be sensible. Plus I think it might be my SI joint and not my spine. Made an appointment with ortho. But eventually I will get my shot. I will have to be in less pain. Just want to make sure the shot is done in the right place.

Sorry, this is off the subject, kind of. 😂 But making the Appointment to go to the ortho is an accomplishment.

You are speaking my language with your SI joint and spine...
When I had the shots they did it with an ultrasound type of machine so they see that it’s going exactly where it’s needed.
There is a name for it but it escapes me at the moment.
 
This morning,I walked 7 blocks to grocery store,'PriceRite' hadn't been there in a couple of weeks.There prices are a bit cheaper than the other grocery store I go to.I just needed a couple of items.I was thinking of walking home but saw the bus coming,took that home instead This was my long walk of the day
 
Went grocery shopping this morning, which I do every 2 weeks. I've got it down to a system. You really don't have to go more often than that, if you live alone.

This afternoon, did some minor chores and watched one episode of The Detectorists, which I love. (It's on Prime.) But my one real accomplishment is that I wrote a few more of those postcards we're sending out, encouraging people to vote, and vote as early as possible. I do a few postcards every day, before my poor old arm gets tired. I figure it's worthwhile.

This evening, family zoom session at 7:00, and then convention time at 9:00!

NO! Medicare does NOT require a physical once a year. Some of the advantage plans try to convince people that Medicare requires this, but Medicare does NOT.

I don’t have an advantage plan, I have original Medicare, and it does require a physical every year.

Neither do I have the Medicare Advantage plan.
Going in tomorrow morning for the Wellness check.
Doctor's office is in the hospital.

Husband and I have different doctors in different buildings and each requires a yearly Medicare physical. I wonder why yours does not?
 
I spent about 6 hours mowing the yard and meadow today. We had perfect weather....high of 80 with little humidity. It was almost like mowing hay since it has been so hot here that I didn't mow for almost 2 weeks. Tomorrow is supposed to be equally nice, so I will get out the trimmer and go around the dozens of trees, etc. Then, the heat and humidity can return.
 
I am almost finished watering, and have settled down to watch the convention, although I already know whose going to be nominated 🤣. (This was not a political statement just saying what I am accomplishing.)

We will be watching it as well. We do like the format they are using a lot. We noticed last night that there is very little wasted time: people moving back and forth across a stage, lots of waiting, lots of clapping, and entertainment that one can actually enjoy because of better sound quality than you find in a convention center.

When the various children sang at the beginning yesterday-it was so touching-filled my heart with joy and hope.
