Started out the day by watching international rugby on youtube, am now making brunch (sausage sandwich), will soon start making pineapple pie (my ice hockey hero was legendary Gump Worsley and this was his fave pie), and plan on going out to watch youth basketball at our community center (just down the block from where I live) and possibly some hockey in the neighborhood ice arena (4 blocks from where I live). Some times there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do all that I want. :)


Oh by the way, Happy World Kindess Day to all.

an update, i finished my shredding,when I looked outside ,the dreaded S {snow} was falling,mixed with rain. I've just come back from a short walk wearing my winter boots,temp is 37,brrr!
 

Just got up at noon. And this time it was for a reason. I messed around with my ebook libraries on Calibre. Now there are no duplicates in any library. Then I took my endless lists of books I've read since 2011, by genre, at least one copy of each from who knows when, and made sure the master lists had all the books on them, and deleted the extras. I probably also was here for a spell or two, plus played a few games of Mahjong.

When I finished it was 5.30 a.m. At least some things are clean and tidy, even if they reside on my computer. I get on a roll, and hyper-focus on what I'm doing, so I didn't realize so much time had passed. This is sometimes associated with ADHD, and sometimes it is just normal behavior for people. I don't have ADHD. I have procrastination "disease" in spades, though. I never hyper-focus on chores ... it's always mental work like studying, doing taxes, making sure my Calibre libraries are perfect, playing Mahjong, and writing.

It would be nice to do chores while in the zone, totally concentrated on what needs to be done, with no other thoughts intruding. When I do chores, I have to reward myself. I set a goal for how much time I will spend before I get to read my book again, or do something with the dog. Boy, my world has diminished! Sometimes I don't want to read, which is a first. I might watch episodes 3 & 4 of Maid today, just to celebrate not being one (ha!).

When one of my boys was three, he said, "Mommy, I figured it out! Eve was the first woman, and she was also the first maid!" Grrrr. When I had a maid service business, it was easier to be a maid. Clean and go, didn't have to watch the cleaning being undone, and I had a reputation to uphold.

Today, I feel energized, compared to all of the last week, so I will accomplish something. There is no shortage of things to do. I wish I wanted to do some of them. Sometimes it makes me tired just thinking of the journey from what is, to what I'd like it to be.
 
My daughter made Zuppa Toscana for dinner. It was delicious. Recipe called for a cup of cream and she substituted 2% milk for half of it.

I had 2 45-minute housework sessions today. I did not nap. I am getting a bit tired now, so I think I'll go to bed around 10.

I told my daughter that maybe I have low blood sugar from not eating regularly, since I often forget to eat. She brought me a DQ peanut buster bar and a small stollen. I love both of those. I wasn't thinking of sweets when I mentioned low blood sugar, but I'm not complaining.
 
Went for a couple of walks, made a huge pot of red bean soup for DH, a couple of stores to check out a small side table.

Realized when nearly home that my right glove was missing. Nothing new. I’ve been losing mitts and gloves and even pricey leather gloves since I was a wee one. Luckily I found the single glove when I returned to the logical ‘dropping‘ point. Think it’s long past time for me to put a string on my gloves and thread them through my coat.
