Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I have a nearly 30 year old word processor which I can't get recycled because they won't take anything with a CRT in PA, so I finished taking it apart and will stick it in the trash a few pieces at a time till it's gone. It must weigh over 50 lbs. when whole.

Terrible service with Bark box, got billed four times, took forever to get it straightened out and forever to inscribe would not recommend it, I think it’s a rip off company.

Lately, the online service has been terrible and not working properly.
However, we've used it many times to order a box for daughter's corgi. They seem to like it.

I had no problem with the box which by the way I have not received but my daughter who ordered the same day has received, I did have a problem with being billed for one box four times. Supposedly they are removing three charges. But would not remove the charge for the box that I have not received.

That high voltage connection at the CRT can hold a hefty static charge, so be cautious.

"Spoken as one who inadvertently found out the hard way when some idiot slipped up behind me in my shop and deliberately startled me while I had test probes in hand. A 3000 volt electrostatic charge is unlikely to kill a person, but it isn't fun either. I ran him out of the building."
 
I baked muffins......usual morning chores.
Had to make twice as many potty trips, like yesterday........so cold none of my guys couldn't do both jobs in one outing.....back in for a bit, get warmed, the another try.......so that took extra time.

I had made a bench/storage piece, many, many years ago.
Don't know why i didn't take it when i moved to my house in town.
Was collecting a whole lot of dust in my ex's basement.......he didn't want it......so got him to bring it over last night.
I made this piece, right from the wood base to the upholstering, and did the cushion on top......there's a lid on it so it has storage.

So, today i gave it a good cleaning.
The color on it doesn't match my furniture, so i'll make a cover for it to match better.

Went to the post office to get my pension check and take it to the bank before the next blizzard sets in. The lobby is closed and they are only conducting transactions at the drive-thru. Three cars ahead of me and when I left there were 3 cars behind me. It was a wait, too. The car right in front of me must have taken 10 minutes - seems long time when the temp is 12F. Probably busy because it's the first of the month.

Oh that's beautiful...you're so talented. I'm a sucker for Ottomans... I have leather... but I would love to have that one of yours... :love:
 
Today I had a day off ( it's 7.15 pm) ..... Hubs went back to work after his long holiday since before Christmas ,... and I only washed up, and made his dinner..vegan sausages, mixed peppers, red onions, chilli gravy and new potatoes... ( he's not home yet tho').... otherwise I just caught up up with mails , forums, and paid some bills.. played about with my recent photos uploading them to files.. watched a bit of recorded tv this afternoon, and snoozed on the sofa for an hour....bliss!! :giggle:
 
I vacuumed, am washing husband blanket, played a little of my computer game, trained Bella and everything else she needs, almost finished my walking, and binge watching STARZ as I only am doing the 3 month subscription.

Balanced my checkbook 🙄, paid my credit card. And decided to have my husband return my oxygen thingy to home health cause I am sick of dealing with it. The tube fills up with water and I either drown or have to take it off and drain it most of the day. Tried of the hassle and it doesn’t make me feel less tired anyway.

Turns out we finally own the machine, lol, so sent him to get a shorter tube and see if that makes a difference.
 
Fed the birds and critters in the woods out back, refurbished some really old photographs, including one posted in the photography thread, and made a fresh pot of French onion soup to go with the Beef Burgandy (leftovers) I made the other night.

Could not get some tubing for it that I needed cause it was creased and they have any of the tubing that goes from the machine to the, hmm, I will call it the intake, outgo humidifier. So I taped it, then stuck a popsicle stick next to it, then taped it, so the bend (crease) was less. This allows the oxygen to flow through better cause the tube was completely folded over.

I got a five foot cord, instead of the 15 foot, and it still fills with water 🤦🏻‍♀️, but much easier to hang and drain the water out of. Apparently there is no way to keep the water, from the small humidifier, collecting in the tube. But now I can simply drain it every day.

Also I don’t get all caught up at night in the long tube which is nice. Got a new filter which I needed. At least I am getting more oxygen at night and should be less tired in the morning. We will see.
 
I have been working on the photos in my computer all morning. I will go back and do more. Worked on my website for a little bit too.

Cleaned Rabbit's cage. Had to go down to the storage area for more newspapers and pads before I could clean it.

Working on removing my gel nails. My nail salon had a fire in their building so no telling when he will back up and running. So decided to take a break from them for awhile.

Now getting started on making supper, chicken in the Nuwave oven and spaghetti squash in the Instant Pot.
 
Took a pain pill and then went for a walk, trying to keep my steps done despite my back killing me. Have an appointment for a shot in three weeks, but if I don’t get the vaccine Friday, then not getting the shot. Vaccine first, everything else has to wait.
