What are you doing today?

Just finished cleaning up the kitchen taking out the trash. I was going to go up the street to Aldi's grocery store just to get some ice cream cones but decided against it. The store will be packed if there is anything left.

My grandson just called and said he went to Walmart to get some snacks. He said the shelves are almost bare. This is due to the hurricane we are going to have here tomorrow. There is a slight chance of tornado.

We're not on the coast so we don't have to worry about surging water; it's the winds I worry about and loss of power. It's not supposed to be above a cat-1 hurricane which is the lowest.

I don't need the darned ice cream anyway.
 

AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE THAT EVEN VAGUELY RESEMBLES 'WORK'.

With it being my 75th Birthday (which so many are sending birthday wishes that i much appreciate), only a half dozen daily 'musts', most of which already out of the way. Only taking daughter to work at 2 pm and picking her up at 9:30pm will interrupt my being online, watching some shows, starting reading the Birthday gift from daughter. i may go to YouTube Music selections and indulge my once in a Blue Moon bout with nostalgia. Appropriately enough there is an actual 'blue moon' this weekend.

This kind of panic buying always surprises me. Do people not have enough non-perishables to last them a week (at most)?

Wow...75! Happy Birthday 🎂
 
This afternoon, I was clearing out a drawer that doesn't get open from one year to the next except on very occasional winter days. It holds only my scarves on one side and some Lambswool jumpers.. .. and on the other side some tiny baby clothing which belonged to my Daughter when she was just not even old enough to walk...

I decided to make room in the drawer by donating the jumpers ( they're high neck and I hate high neck sweaters)... and lo and behold under all of those things was something valuable that I thought I'd lost and have been hunting for, for about 2 years .. I was very happy to find it.. but why on earth I would have ever put it in that drawer in the first place I'll never know... :unsure:

Sometimes I put things away to keep them safe, especially when going on a vacation. If I’m rushing, the things get an extra long vacation from me.

that's me too..if I've hidden it, it's because I've done it in a rush... but with this particular thing it always had it's own home.. so I haven't a clue how it ended up where I found it.. too big to have dropped in there by accident, so I must have had brain fog when I did it :D

My son picked me up and we went to Costco today. I always love shopping there but only go three times a year now. The rest of the time he picks up items for me. When I got home, I had to rotate stock to be able to put things away which involved bending and lifting (some items were a little heavy). So between the walking around Costco and what I did after I got home, I feel I got my exercise in today. Don't feel like doing much else today except catch up with my social networking, clean up my kitchen and watch a little T.V.

Well.. the insulation sheet inside the roof of one part of the barn has fallen almost completely off onto the tool bench .. It's absolutely pouring of rain, and I'm afraid that things will get damp , although I do have an electric de-humidifier running in there... but I need to try and stick that back up...somehow

decided to wash all my jackets and Down Bodywarmers ( Gilets).., that I've not worn since last autumn.. in readiness for this autumn ..... not that they were dirty , but some have been hung in the hallway all this time and were bound to be a little dusty after a year..

Couldn't sleep.. got about 3 hours, didn't get to sleep until about 4am and then up again just after 7.. so now at just past 1.30pm I'm starting to feel a bit weary... especially with the rain pelting down out there..

Might make some chicken recipes later today to bulk freeze if I get the energy...

And you have to be careful with 'cooties'. :oops: Deb always succeeds in creeping me up with her stories.
 
Computer played up today , needed updating and wouldn't accept my passwords when I tried to get into do the notifications on my Mac.. tried restarting, changing the passwords, and nothing worked,. Eventually I got it to restart, but it's not updated my photos, so all the photos that automatically transfer to my photos on my Mac from my iphone, are , not transferring.. and showing the last pictures having been updated in 2018..nothing of the hundreds after that.. doesn't seem to matter what I do to try and retrieve them, it's not working... :unsure:


Just had a small sunday lunch..Chicken thighs and Asparagus spears...
 
Got up and did some watering in the backyard. It's cooler today, so the water isn't evaporating so quickly.

Came inside and finished cleaning the kitchen...started the dishwasher. Which I only run may be every couple of weeks.

Had some breakfast...might color my hair later.

TV, computer, napping.
