What are you doing today?

[Teacher Terry]

I got up early so I would have time to exercise and shower before my 11 chiropractor appointment. Then I ran a few errands and am now binge watching the Handmaiden’s Tale. At 4:30 the kids are picking me up to go to my favorite fancy restaurant for dinner.

 

[Bella]

Thank you so much for doing that!! It is hard for me to a lot of computer things that are easy for others.

You're welcome! It was my pleasure.

 

[NorthernLight]

I survived my trip to the pool! (So far, anyway.)

I'm no expert on pools, but that is the nicest one I've ever been to. Some high school students were there, but they were in a different section.

A pool with sections! Imagine that.

I'll do some stretches, as I'm sure I worked a few muscles. Then the trivia game tonight.

Sounds like a perfect day...

Went to the grocery. Bought gas. Cut the grass. What an exciting life!

Yes. Yes, it is. I went to the grocery, but it was to work. Didn't buy gas because I gave my car away long ago. But...and this is very important...I also Cut. The. Grass.

Going to the grocery (even if only to work there) and cutting the grass. Ahhhh. I share your excitement. This is life in the fast lane. Let us savor it Or maybe take up pickle ball?

And eat ice cream.

 

[Capt Lightning]

I'm preparing the filling for another batch of steak & kidney pies. Mrs. L is preparing and painting the dado rails in the hall and stairs.
I'm going to cook a small mutton roast with couscous and roast veges for dinner.

 

[Lee]

In a few minutes I am going to make some muffins, coconut raisin if it matters. Nice for breakfast. A trip for groceries, pick up cat food at the vet, run a few errands and the afternoon is all mine to do whatever I want.

 

[hollydolly]

Today is overcast and cold... . The postman has just delivered a book which I ordered from Amazon....

I'd made a semi plan to go out today....but I think if I do go, I won't do as much as what's on my list, and instead do that tomorrow or Saturday when the weather is better..

 

[Mizmo]

Today I have a shopping trip to Ikea with a friend .
Just love to browse around that store and always manage to find something to buy but right now off back to bed
Been awake since 4am and feel ready to hit the pillow again

Me, too, and it's my day off, dammit. If I'd known you were up, too, I'd have run over and we could have had coffee together.

@CinnamonSugar made blueberry scones yesterday! She probably has some left.

So far I've had two pieces of chocolate while I decide whether I feel like eating real food.

Oh dear no....chocolate not good for you early morning.....but, one is allowed to weaken from time to time.

Those scones sound good too...in fact everything sounds good to me if someone else is making it.
AlI I can handle in the morning is the toaster and kettle.
I really should hire a cook and chief bottle washer. Trouble is you have to pay them money...dang, dang.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@Mizmo As long as you're going to Ikea, have lunch there and get the Swedish meatballs.

Who told you chocolate isn't good for you in the morning? They lied. Actually, I've heard that chocolate cake is good for you for breakfast. Truth!

According to Dr. Google: "Chocolate cake is useful in improving skin and reducing Depression. Chocolate Mug Cake with many other mouthwatering flavours diverts your mind into happiness and joy. It has flavonoids and other necessary minerals and zinc. Chocolate assists the skin with adequate shielding protecting from sunburn."

Heaven knows that at this time of year, we need protection from sunburn... What?

Also, according to Dr. Google: "Another study conducted found that eating chocolate cake for breakfast can also improve your memory, focus and cognitive behaviour throughout the rest of the day!"

>>>Granny rushes to kitchen to bake a chocolate cake<<<

Already have a load of bed linens in the dryer and a load of other stuff in the washer. I'm gathering a gazillion stray bits and bobs of paper that might or might not be worthless snail mail to sort through and either toss into the trash or save.

I need to find enough to do to keep me busy until it's time to brave the elements to forage for food, but by the time DD gets home from work and rests a bit before we do the Aldi and Walmart trips, it will probably already be raining There are times when I wish I still had a car (until I remember how much it costs to support one!) so I could just go do that stuff by myself.

 

[jujube]

Standing in the doorway watching the trees thrash around and watching the damage at the beach on TV and thanking the Powers-that-Be that we dodged the bullet again.

I will not complain about cleaning up the yard again.

 

[Georgiagranny]

I will not complain about cleaning up the yard again.

We're gonna get the tail of it later this afternoon. And I will complain about cleaning up the yard again!

 

[Trila]

I've finished my coffee and my breakfast. Time for me to get moving. I'm seeing my Orthopedic Surgeon today. He is going to assess the mobility of my wrist. If all goes well, he will discharge me from his care!

This is our last nice weather day, so we will probably visit Chelveston while we are in town. After that? Well....I can't give away all of my secrets!!!

 

[jujube]

OK, I will probably complain, but I'm going to feel guilty about it after seeing how bad it is over at the coast.

Today is my daughter's birthday. No partying today.

 

[IKE]

Mama informed me a couple of minutes ago that she wants me to chauffeur her to OKC this morning to the Asian grocery store to do some food shopping which is fine with me......she always treats me to a big bowl of pho.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@hollydolly I started watching season 5 of The Crown on Netfix. So far it's like watching turtles. Is the series even close to anything that went on during Queen Elizabeth's reign?

 

[MickaC]

My sorting of screws, nuts and bolts, bits, screwdrivers, pliers,L wrenchs, and all related stuff, is done and gone to their new home…..other than what I’m keeping, which isn’t much.
Theses were all give aways…..just couldn’t bother listing to sell…..not worth it.
Today……
Going downstairs and fold up my fabric inventory, put them in storage bags……hope to do a fair amount of sewing this winter, so the amount will go down some.
Maybe attack one of the hallway closets……see what I can do there.
Takes some breaks and check out the snow situation……yes……it’s sNOwing..

 

[Aneeda72]

With the wind chill factor, 13 degrees outside. Glad I got some hand warmers yesterday.

I find that tootsie rolls work just as well as chocolate cake and no baking required

Do you have/use a Kindle?
