Got up at 6:30 and took the dog out to 10"of fresh snow. Put out sunflower seeds on the feeder, which they decimated in short order. Made lox and cream cheese with basil scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then down to the shop and bead blasted eight pieces of 3" flat stock that I cut yesterday from some rusty stock I had for the door project. Setting up to do some welding on the doors here shortly.

You could spend the day counting all your new money.


Do you find it does a good job.

Jules, I've been using Dryel for years and it really does. I do an extra step though...I spray my clothes with disinfectant spray (does not come with kit) then use the as directed, except I cut the sheet that goes in the bag with the clothes in half. There's a booster spray and a "pen" to remove stains. I have a trench coat with what I call a "finicky" material and it cleaned that wonderfully. I also put a cream colored fancy blouse in there (not together) after using the stain spray and it came out great too. A few months ago, I ordered more sheets so I'll always be ready when something needs to be cleaned. I wound up with two kits so I use the older bag for dark clothes and the new one for lighter clothes.
 
Not got anything planned.. it's Saturday, it's been overcast all day until about an hour ago, now we have sun. .. and aside from the laundry, see to the snail mail, and make myself a bacon and egg sandwich, I've done nothing really..

I had a terrible night's sleep. For the first time in memory I dreamt of my mother and father in the same dream. .. it was horrible.. he was going to attack my mother and I lashed out at him in my dream, and I physically lashed out in my sleep and hit the mattress full force with my arthritic fingers. My screaming with the pain woke me right up... , so today I've had to wear 2 splints on my index and middle fingers..
 

I am calling it a day. I have fallen twice today: once in the shower (I wasn't alone) and I think my foot slipped on the body wash and I was facing the shower curtain with nothing to grab onto: I banged my left forehead on the wooden stool outside the tub. The second time this morning I was leaning over the grocery's I just picked up at the store trying to grab the receipt and my left foot slipped and I fell on top of the groceries.

I am looking forward to the rest of the day (very carefully).
 
This is Saturday. It feels like Sunday.

I was in the garden as soon as it was daylight and planted the rest of the flowers that followed me home during the week. Wanted to do it yesterday but too hot.

Working tomorrow when it's going to be cooler and maybe even rain a little. Maybe off Monday when it's also supposed to rain a bit and be cooler and when the flowers have already all been put in the ground, dammit. Getting more flowers to follow me home would require a trip to the garden centers. I don't wanna go to the garden centers.

Won't know my schedule until I can check tomorrow. It's not posted until after 12 on Fridays, but I leave at 12, and it can't be checked from my laptop. What a pain in the como se llama! I really hope that to make up for working tomorrow, I'll be off Monday and Tuesday and then back to being off on Sundays and Mondays. This ever-changing schedule really plays h*ll with my head!
 
My life is back on track now, the thing in my breast that had more than doubled in size since the previous mammogram turned out to be benign and they said no extra imaging needed, no biopsy needed, it is a type of thing that does not turn cancerous, and I could cancel the other appointments my doctor had set up for me. So all my stress and worry about it was unnecessary (I was convinced it would be stage 4 breast cancer and that I'd have only months to live!). But, at least now I have a bit of perspective about lessor challenges in my life, and also interestingly when I thought I might have a very limited amount of time left I wanted to take a trip to Iceland, I guess I should put that into some mental queue to look into, though right at the moment I have no time to think about it.
I also discovered about myself that apparently I feel competitive about who gets to live the longest, I didn't want to lose the race, ha ha.

I have less than a week to finish clearing out the house, this time next week I'll be a new "Nomad" waking up in a cheap Chicago hotel apartment.

I grew up in Berwyn, just west of Cicero. (FWIW) Happy to hear about your diagnosis. Why Iceland? I don't often hear about people going to Iceland, although it sounds interesting.

OH I'm sorry to hear you fell, what a shock, I know what that's like... but really there might have been more room in the shower if there had been only you in there... :unsure:

Posting a follow up on my trip to the chevy dealer that mailed me about a deal to good to pass up.

The dealer didn't have the vehicle in stock but did have other models that we might like. He expected to get some in but none were equipped with the power features we want. The day wasn't a total waste, stopping at a nursery on the way home my wife found some shrubs she wanted.

Oh @HoneyNut I am SO delighted by this news. Congrats! Now on to your new life and the new adventures that await you.
 
Well, let's just say you never plant anything other than root crops before June 1st. We had 6" of snow once on the 4th of July. All part of living at 7200' above sea level, but I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else. That 10" is mostly gone today, and it will be back in the 70's in a few days.

My thoughts exactly @hollydolly! Yikes @Geezer Garage. Is this typical weather where you are?

It was hot this morning so I started about 7AM and hosed down the front porch which was about covered in robin doodle because I had let her raise her clutch in a transom window over the front door. She's fledged the little fat things now so I got my porch back now.

Once started I hosed down the front brick, then the siding on the rest of the house and back porch. Then cleaned the north wall green fungus off with vinegar, finally washed all the windows, inside and out.

Now it's raining, of course.
