Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I do not know if you are being sarcastic or not but will give a serious response. It was still the era of “little Susie homemaker” wants a college degree even though things were starting to change. Although, lots of theses types of courses are available at colleges now, and were then.

I was a severely abused child and I did not want to abuse my children. I attended college and majored in Early Childhood Education to get a good foundation in the proper way to raise children without almost beating them to death. This was one of the courses I could take for credit. I never abused my children or foster children.

I minored (?) in English. I was unable to spell not just mistaking p’s for b’s but didn’t understand spelling, still could not tell time on a face clock, and math was a total mystery even though I test high on IQ tests. I think my mother literally knocked my brain loose by hitting me in the head so many times.

In any event, while my AA in Early Childhood Education and level of education is unimpressive to many, it stopped a cycle abuse in my family which, IMO, is impressive. It doesn’t matter what others think.

That sounds like a lot of fun! It doesn't take a lot to amuse me either, I should try that! :geek: o_O
 
Yesterday I accomplished going grocery shopping and spending less than I thought I would--I took a list! I was tempted to get some more expensive items but didn't. It was good to get out and the store wasn't crowded. I've almost become agoraphobic with staying in--it sometimes is a major hurdle to go out there.

Today I got some regular light bulbs that change to 12 different lights--easy to use and there are 4 that came with 2 remotes. They make nice mood lighting. Got them on Amazon of course.

Set my bedroom tv back up. I had unplugged it because I had something else plugged in that blocked one of the outlets. I used an extension strip for the tv. Found that I now have 56 channels on broadcast tv. That's better than I get in the living room. And I usually get the ones I like the best in the bedroom--channels that is!:LOL:
 
Yesterday my car had a new cam-belt fitted, apparently according to the mechanics there was nothing wrong with the one they took out, but I felt it was better to be safe than sorry since my car has done way over 100,000 miles.. and they agreed

Despite getting a small grocery delivery in the morning, I stopped off at the Large supermarket on the way back from collecting my car.. kind of anxious because the media have been hysterical the last few days about shortages, packed stores, very long queues to get inside and people not wearing masks... so actually when I went in to the store, I couldn't have been more surprised.. almost totally empty of customers, and full shelves of stock.. *phew* so I bought a shallow trolley full to stock up so I don't have to go again for a few weeks..

So aside from fitted new white wooden shutter blinds to an upstairs bedroom... I didn't do anything much...

I glad you were not being sarcastic, I’ve had a few dings about my lack of education on the forum and elsewhere. I still can’t spell, lol, daughter bought me an Alexa to help and it’s wonderful, but “she” is constantly correcting my pronunciation as well. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It‘s a hard world.

I appreciate your words but little about me is impressive except I did manage to be a good mother and for that I am grateful. The abuse in my family line ended with me-my one claim to fame. 🤓

You should be " very proud of yourself ".
You've accomplished many hurdles.
I'm not by any means, educated in many ways.
You're right.......it is a hard world.

That is a wonderful accomplishment Aneeda...sure to advance you spiritually. What a great life...to meet a challenge like that and grab it by the horns. Only we and determine our life's mission (job) and have the courage to conquer it. As for spelling...my husband is a brilliant engineer and he can't spell, either!
 
Not done anything but chores this morning.

I was supposed to be going over to my DD's before noon, but I wasn't feeling up to it, plus it's raining hard, so instead.. she's coming here tomorrow morning..

O/h is measuring up for whole new power shower.. we've not had the one we have very long, maybe 2 or 3 years but he doesn't feel the pressure is good enough so while he has time off work for another few weeks he's getting on with doing major jobs like this...

It's just after 1.30pm here, so I'm about to have a little snack for lunch of potato fritters and eggs..
 
@Aneeda72 @Liberty .......
I use Google Nest and Google nest hub all the time for spelling.
I especially like the Google nest hub for the screen.....i'm a slow typer, so seeing the spelling is better for me.

Wasn't planning on going to the vet for dog food and treats till tomorrow or friday.
But......
An Alberta clipper is forecasted to come in starting tonight, rain, freezing rain, snow.....may not be very nice out for a couple days.
 
I am sitting in my recliner watching another vote on CNN, seems I am destined to keep watching, watching, watching voting, voting, voting. It never ending-the voting. Good thing I am couch potato, 😂, otherwise I might feel the need to do something other than watch voting, but, I am not. So, I am watching the voting, again. 😂😂😂

I am an engineer with an MS, and spelling is one of my downfall. For what it is worth, formal education should be taken with a big grain of salt when someone steps out of their area of expertise. What we learn from life ranks higher in my book.
