Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

This morning I finally got started on the article I'm writing for an e-zine about my favorite entertainer, a seven time Emmy winner who's also a good friend. I called him in the afternoon to wrap up the interview process and discuss which photos, video and album cover to use. Had a conversation with the e-zines creator and publisher. She's also a good friend. During both conversations, wound up having some great belly laughs. Then loaded and ran the dishwasher, talked with my DIL on the phone, ate an early dinner (for me anyway) and took a nap.
 
I've had a very easy day today... hubs who is off work now for several weeks holiday, did all the chores without being asked, and then made me tea and egg on toast for brunch.. then tonight I accidentally dropped a new plate onto our tiled kitchen floor and it smashed to smithereens, and he actually came out of another room and told me to go sit down and he would clean it up...🤪 ..I'm very grateful to whatever Alien has taken over my husbands body today... :ROFLMAO:
 
Major shopping day yesterday. Went to several stores, came home and ate lunch, took short nap, went shopping again. Really worn out. Got to go to Lowe’s tomorrow. I have filled my duty as an America citizen. I’ve spent all my stimulus check and stimulated several stores. 😂
 
Let's see........did the usual daily cleaning chores..........from there accomplishments were wasted 😜🤪🙃😏😜.
Getting the sewing bug, went online looking for a few new patterns.
Seemed like every pattern i picked out was out of stock......just my luck.
That was a waste of a couple of hours, still looking.
Checked out some sites for jigsaw puzzles........came across one where you can download pictures to make puzzles, and or use other pictures others have posted.
Started trying to figure out how to........killed a couple hours on that........
So not a real productive day.
................ohhhhhhhhhhh........it's Sunday........well that explains my wasted day.
 
Took down the outside Christmas lights on Saturday, took down the Christmas tree on Sunday. Will finish putting away all the other misc Christmas stuff today. It is currently 36F here and the high is going to be 37F, overcast, etc. Have I mentioned that I absolutely detest Ohio winters?
 
Haven't accomplished much today...yet!!

Delivered my car to the garage for it's annual MOT

Took delivery of my new wellies for dog walking.. and some new leggings.. chatted with the postman and gave him his overdue Christmas gift because we didn't see him before Xmas day

Shocked that the children who are supposed to be back at school today after 2 weeks off have been told literally at the 11th hour by the teachers union not to return despite the govt advice that the primary schools are safe...

Later today I'll be having a CT scan at a hospital in the next county .. hubs will drive me in his car... and we'll collect my car on the way back

Hope your CT goes well......i guess what i mean is i hope there isn't anything serious.
 
Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you Holly.

Yesterday I started going through some old recipes that are in a big box, some from a newspaper printed in 1950 and what am eye opener. Our grandma's made use of whatever they had on hand.

I'm home now Pinks, thanks for asking... everything went well with the scan (had to wait an hour past my appointment but no biggie)... gotta wait for the results to reach my doctor , which could be anything up to 2 weeks... :oops::cry:

..anyway that aside.... my car passed it's MOT , which is great news, but I've decided to have a new cambelt fitted this week because I have more than 100,000 miles on the clock, and it;s cheaper to get a new Cam-belt than a new car if the current CB were to break...

Couldn't believe our eyes on the way back from the hospital. We had to drive through an extremely busy industrial ,and commuter town, which has nose to tail traffic always and particularly at rush hour , and in the dark which is when we were returning , there was almost no cars on the roads at all... I've never seen that ever in that area, it's always a traffic nightmare .. , then we stopped to pick up some shopping, and the superstore had just 2 other people in it... that's all.. absolutely empty,:eek: but the click and collect staff working outside the store were working like beavers...

Today the whole of England has gone into tier 5 lockdown... No schools or colleges open, all hospitality closed, ( although most of the latter has been closed for weeks anyway)... can't understand why they've closed all the schools yet permitted all the public playgrounds to remain open... :unsure:

@hollydolly .. It must have felt somewhat eerie to have such an absence of traffic on your way home.

Waiting an hour for your scan .. you are very patient! Were there a lot of people waiting with you?

Who knows how or why the govt. makes these questionable decision (re: schools/playgrounds). It's no less confusing, this side of the pond.

I had no choice I've waited 2 months for this scan, because of Covid-19 the waiting lists are very long, so I had to just wait... it's been a very long wait , and now more waiting for the results..

There was no-one waiting with me for a CT scan, but there was one woman waiting for a different procedure. Poor girl, she was telling me about her own ailments and why she was at the hospital today , but then burst into tears telling me that at 47, her husband has a brain tumour.. and they have 3 small children... :(

Poor woman .. makes one grateful they have minimal issues in comparison. This is when you wish you could hug, even a stranger.
