I made a tiny snowman, nothing fancy, no face items, just three balls of snow about a foot and a half tall. But it is the only thing I've gotten done on my 4 day holiday weekend, so I'm trying to convince myself he's an accomplishment. I hope I am not such a lazy do-nothing after I retire (just 7 more weeks!).
 
This was the first time my neighbor wasn't around to do our driveway and get rid of the snow. He and his family were away, so I had called a snow removal company to get rid of the snow. They said they'll come by Monday. I called them three times between Friday and today to make sure. Meanwhile, this afternoon, I had gone out and shoveled the steps and path, and the snow had become icy, so much so, that my legs were trembling because it weighed so much! I also went to the front of the driveway to get rid of the mountain of snow that is piled up there from the passing snow removal trucks. Hard as ice. They were literarily ice rocks. I threw several to the side. I got out of breath fast. My other neighbor saw me and came out to see if I needed assistance. He's in his 60s and I didn't want to bother him. God forbid something happened to him while he tried clearing my driveway!

I told him,"I'm expecting the snow removal company, but they haven't come yet."

He shook his head and left.

I called the company again, and now they told me they'll be coming soon. I told them it's really icy.
He said "no problem" but my legs are still shaking from being out there, and that reminds me of my limitations. I used to be able to shovel our driveway in the past (although it does take time).

Without my son and neighbor to help this year, it has been quite a revelation. This will be my new normal.
 
Very funny Quote for today from the Jay Leno Show.jpeg Didn't get the garbage together last nite, because forecast was for a big dump of snow and high winds......lucky or what......didn't happen, yet .....just got an inch and no winds.....so, quickly got garbage together and out to the curb for 7:00....already picked up, bin back in the garage.
Now, what do i do today 🤪😜😏. Will clear the snow fluff......wait for more snow, or, find something pleasant to do beside shoveling......which would be nice.
 
Today I've spent some time talking to the bank and trying to get several accounts changed... there was a glitch online with their website which meant a protracted phone call to customer services.. and being transferred from one dept to another..

Also made some Cheese and tomato bread by hand ... it's in the oven now, baking.. and I can smell it all the way up here in the office room...yummmmmm😀🍞

Got some Prints I ordered from Etsy delivered this morning, just waiting now for an Amazon delivery to arrive...
 
As it’s sunny and cold 6, but not wIndy, I took hubby for a push along the seafront ….
I couldn’t park in the 3 disabled bays (yes 3) disgraceful……….but parked alongside a low kerb to ge5 him into his chair ……
but it was nice , we sat at the bench and felt the sun on our faces, it made us happy …..

and now hanging around for a delivery……..

I am going to finally send my photos to Walmart to be printed out. I try to keep up with this and still enjoy having printed copies of my photos. I need to update a collage I have on the wall.
I hate the job. I wish they would make a collage where each photo has its own door instead of removing the whole back. I tape them in place but more often than not when I get the back on and turn it over one ends up crocked, then I have to repeat the whole cycle.

yep that happens to me too Ruth, it's very frustrating...
 
All our Christmas stuff is put away and the house is beginning to resemble normalcy.

I'm just about to leave the house for groceries during Costco's special Tuesday/Thursday 9-10 AM senior hours. Much less people-y, which is a big enticement during this omicron spike...

After shopping I plan to continue dejunking my house... ridding it of things we no longer use and I'm tired of dusting.
 
I'm bored!

I've been surfing the net reading articles about using the same ten ingredients to create seven different meals for the week.

Here is one example.

I'm sure that we all have some version of this that we do without giving it much thought.

I'm trying to decide what my list of 10 ingredients might look like and how I would choose to use them.

Like I said, I'm bored! :giggle:
 
Busy day at the office, seeing patients, collaborating with boss lady to trouble shooting computer program so it fits our needs, referrals coming in left and right …. AND right in the middle of it all, maintenance staff comes over to totally rearrange our furniture (moving desks from one room to another) so we are OSHA compliant as to distancing … oh, and we’re supposed to have our team meeting today and there’s furniture surrounding the conference table… so basically, total chaos 🙄

That sounds like a good, bored-activity, to go to! :LOL::love:

It seems like a combination of a game, together with a recipe-hunt.:LOL::geek::ROFLMAO:
And, I'd consider you a winner, 😁🥇🏆
if you figure out even one new way to cook your at-hand ingredients!(y)🤩
 
Took my morning walk, which is two miles now. 😊. Plan to watch tv, color in my book while I do so, as usual. Then play my computer game while I watch tv. 😊. Then tonight read my book some, without watching tv. 😊. Usual stuff I do every day.

It’s not boring, but it is pretty much the same day in and day; except for doctor appointments.

Tomorrow I have the test on my liver. 😳. The next day take Joey for his Covid booster shot. 😊 Friday take Stella to be fixed. 🥳.

Exactly, it’s just a puzzle!

I have to say that my list will not be nearly as healthy as the one in the link.

Ice cream, rotisserie chicken, frozen cauliflower rice, … 🤔😊😉
