What are you doing today?

Trying to, as my daddy used to say, hatch a plot for something to do tomorrow.

Cleaning the fridge should be the first order of business. As it stands so far, it's the only order of business. That'll use up 30 minutes. Maybe I'll throw caution to the winds and move the fridge and clean under and behind it, too. Another 10 minutes.

After sort of decorating this morning and purging the tote containing stuff that'll never be used again, I vacuumed so no need for that tomorrow.

The laundry got done this morning.

What the heck do people do who are really retired? My job is what saves what's left of my sanity.
 

I managed to get my laundry done. This time I dried most of it since it was new pants and I did not want them wrinkled. In the process of cleaning the refrigerator. Almost all done. I do a part and then come here and sit down. Then go back. Not doing the freezer. That is pretty clean anyway because I am always in it.

Still haven't started the cards yet. Maybe tomorrow.

You are amazing! I guess I fill my time with Internet and exercise. Plus a bit of housework and errands.
 
I tell you what amused me today. I put my big light grey puffer coat on this morning, my pale blue bobble hat.. Thick woolly jumper and my dark brown leopard print indoor trousers on.. and went out to bring the wheelie bins in... I caught sight of myself in the mirror.. and thought how hugely fat I looked..and I need to lose some weight after Christmas..

1/2 hour later, getting ready to go out I was completely changed, into Blue jeans.. ..the jumper was off and replaced with a long sleeve T-shirt.. then a Black puffer jacket with white fur collar ... and my white bobble hat ...and I thought I was looking at a different person , it was as if I;d lost 2 stones ( 14 pounds)

I don't know. It's been going on at least since Saturday, I don't remember before then.
Fatigue that's way beyond horrible.. cough (pesky but not extreme).. and slight runny nose.
I'm one of those people who never gets sick, so it's really confusing.

My DD has had exactly the same thing since exactly the same day. .. I just spoke to her this evening after she left work, and she's calling it Man flu... but she's really suffering.. she doesn't get paid for being off sick so she goes into her office and works all day and has been collapsing almost as soon as she gets home. I told her to take a couple of days off and I would pay her wages.. but she's too much of a hard worker.. but she does feel pretty awful. I've heard there's quite a virulent flu bug going around.. I wonder if because we've all got vaccinated that the Covid bug has now manifested itself into a really Bad flu...

I hope you feel better soon Janice.. at least you can stay home and rest.. 🤗🤗

I do have work to do, but don't want to risk making mistakes.

I hope your daughter will be feeling better soon, too!!!
 
It’s cold outside so hung-out here while installing Windows over Linux on my laptop. When I bought my laptop it came with Windows 10 but because I had limited Internet data I installed Linux on it. Now that I finally have good Internet service I reinstalled Windows. Nothing wrong with Linux and I use it in many other applications but I prefer Windows for general purpose use.

Been grocery shopping and hunting down jelly doughnuts that are only sold at the Jewish bakeries around
Hannukah. Purchased 2, as they cost an arm and a leg.

Bought tinned fruit, vegs, etc. at Costco, for the Food Bank.

Today was a good day to do all that, as tomorrow's weather forecast isn't good .. ice pellets, and a fair bit
of snow over top of that. Oh well, it is winter!

showered and dressed. Grandson was supposed to come tonight. His folks called to cancel. He has gotten in some kind of trouble, maybe at school, I did not ask. They have decided they will not go to a Christmas party but do some extra parenting duty instead!

Think I will run out and pick up some sale items for the freezer, then go to Aldi's to see about christmas treats.
 
I actually slept late and didn't get up until 5:15. Well, late for me.

Clean-the-fridge day here. After that? I dunno. The rain has moved out, and it's supposed to be sort of sunny but cold. Maybe I'll haul my bony butt out to the garden to do a little tidying up. It's been a while since I even did a walk-around.
 
Going grocery shopping today. Mainly stuff for Rabbit. Might get my son some stuff too. Supposed to have a major snowstorm starting this afternoon so I told Sonny to be on his way here as soon as his aide leaves at noon. I have a short list so shouldn't take long. Going to get some cold food just in case my power goes off.

This morning I am working on those Christmas cards and finish filing the pile of papers (more than half done now).
 
Not been a great week but, feeling better today and will be taking a walk and popping into the supermarket later when it's quiet. There is still some snow on the grass outside but the pavements are clear and the sky is blue, it's cold but almost sunny. Feels like quite an adventure :)
 
What am I doing today ????
The same thing I’ve been doing since Tuesday.
SHOVELLING sNOw !!!!!!!!!
Colorado low, invited itself Monday nite, still here, staying till late Friday……we’re getting dumped on !!!!!
Pushed the snow back from my garage doors, ready to have the drive cleared……I used a measure tape……17 inches of wet heavy snow.
High NW winds and more snow today and tomorrow…..will have to have the drive cleared again after that.
Keeping the deck and paths cleared for the guys to do their jobs, been doing that every couple of hours. 🧐🥵😫😖😤.
HO HO HO…….MERRY CHRISTMAS. 5919B949-6E51-4DB9-82B4-8B2B2A782996.gif
