Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

Autumn said:
Cleaned the parakeet cage, cleaned the fish tank, cleaned the litter box...went on Chewy.com and bought cat food, fish food, bird seed...I saw another post that asked about the purpose of life, my purpose in life is apparently to be a handmaiden to the Royal Court of Critters...

That's my purpose too Autumn as I have a parakeet and a little dog.
 

I accomplished getting my telephone landline and internet service back on. There was an area outage I found out. A cable was damaged and had to be repaired--took them 2 days. I also got some laundry done-blanket, rugs; vacuumed and cleaned the kitchen floor. Had a couple of good naps under my thick cozy blanket, too!
 
After a crazy week at work, I accomplished several tasks around the house today. Food shopped and cooked ahead... washed 3 loads of clothes and changed my bed linen... finished moving my stuff out of my previous rental and cleaned/vacuumed in prep for handing in the key Monday ... found a couple porch chairs so I can sit in the back yard in the AM and sip my coffee. Now I just needs a small table, some plants and fairy lights for the tree 😊
 

I'm restoring and renovating all the windows in my Gothic Revival brick dating 1850, in the carriage house that's on the property that I use to restore and repair the windows. You'll see the top pane of the cathedral window and the middle sash in the picture. There comes a time when you have to just stop and clean. I cleaned the carriage house today to the point that I can actually work and you can't imagine the number of tools I found that I have been looking for, for weeks! Time well spent!wind.JPG

You sure got a lot done. best wishes in your new place.
 
Huz's dining chair was starting to 'creak' any time it was moved and this had been going on for a few days
The 6 chairs have a high back and are all screwed or allen/hex keyed together....no they are not IKEA 😊
I had to see if I could fix it so I upended the chair and turns out a couple of screws were loose....no not mine....the chair's
Tightened all of the screws just to be sure....and no more 'creaky' sounds
Here is huz feeding our furkid Millie

I have to do the same with one of my chairs every once in awhile. I'm just glad I find it in time before it falls apart and I land on my keister! :ROFLMAO:

So? What type of containers do they come in? I have a spice rack from years ago. Bottles that I refill. I got a huge bottle of pure vanilla from Mexico from a friend so I won't be needing vanilla for awhile. Sometimes I will avoid a recipe that calls for some exotic spice.

They come in jars, mostly. One of 'em came in a tin but I forget what it was.
 
I cleaned the basement today. Its stayed pretty neat form last winters purging. I did notice our 4' Christmas tree standing covered in the corner. We haven't used it in 3 years. We have a tiny one for our sitting room so I'll put the big one up on the Market Place.
I'll go through the lights and ornaments when I get out the Christmas decorations. No sense keeping that if the tree sells.

Must be a good truck to be able to still run!

Only if I feed it money, I think it has had 6 engines in that 38 years since I was not the first owner, I only purchased it 21 years ago. I do know the history since I worked in the shop that had put 3 of those motors in. I have changed motors 3 times in the past 13 years and not because they were bad but they were used and already pretty bad. I had to wait for 3 months to find the last motor and it was a really good one low mileage and recently had a problem but nothing major, the person who stored the engine in his garage for several years before selling it had stuffed a plastic shopping bag into the distributor hole and it somehow got pushed down into the engine. Since I never had the intake off I had no idea it was there and have been driving it for 5 years with that plastic wrapped around the push rods and a couple times I had some valve train problems but it went away and recently came back and stayed, so now it is being freshened up and made to run good again. Without the plastic shopping bag. Glad I never drove it very far with that bag in the engine, I would have found it of course but it would have been a lot of work. I still have to have the brake work done this week and then a new windshield. I feel sure that will last me until I can't drive any longer.

It must have been a very well-built truck to be worth putting all that work into.
 
Yes, I've accomplished re-learning how to make a playlist on Spotify and am now in the process of making one for Jasmine bird--it's of different kinds of birds singing along with some subtle natural noises. I've made playlists before but a long time ago and had forgotten how to do it. So, I accomplished figuring that out!
