What are you doing today 2023

Sorted clothes with the intention of doing a load today but decided to go down "in the middle of the night"...aka Thursday morning. I walked to the supermarket and picked up a few items. I didn't go for my power walk at the time I had planned, which worked out well because the new Verizon router that was supposed to come tomorrow, came today during the time I would have been gone. The UPS drivers just leave stuff at the door; it seems some of them don't take packages back and try redelivery like they used to. I took a longer nap than planned (again) and wound up taking my walk at 4:30.

For the past several days, I've been searching the house (every time I think of a possible spot) for one of my credit cards. I can't find it anywhere and I'm pretty sure it's in the house. I'm going to report it lost so we can get new ones. I watched the last aired episodes of Will Trent (I am so hooked) and 9-1-1: Lone Star and made a couple of calls.
 
Dull today, dry but forecast is for rain and strong winds moving east across the country by this evening.
No real plans for today, but there's plenty to be done. I must go and chop some more logs and kindling. I really should clean out the wood store - there are bags and bags of twigs, small branches, bark etc.. that could be used on the stove. Just need to find the "get up and go".
 

Good morning, boys and girls. I slept so wie ein Baby last night because, as we all know, I am pure and innocent:rolleyes:

Those peeps on TV who tell us all about the weather lied again. They said rain all day. Pffft. Overcast but no rain until much later, like suppertime later. Geez. I swear that in my next life I'm coming back as a meteorologist so I can be wrong most of the time and get paid big bucks.

It could be that today I trim all the dead stuff off the camellia and the gardenias that froze in December.

It could also be that I have a discussion with the squirrels about raiding the bird feeder. A serious discussion. Darned rodents:mad:

Or...it could be that I sit around on my dead center and just think about trimming those shrubs and giving the squirrels a tongue lashing.
 
Dear me, sled dog races in my native stomping ground in the UP this weekend have been cancelled "due to the weather." That is, instead of sNOwing, it rained so much that the trails became too dangerous to use. It's the first time ever that the races have been cancelled...and cancelled because the weather has been too warm? Too warm? Up there? That really is a first!

The UP200 and Jack Pine 30 are qualifying races for the Iditarod, and the news article makes no mention of what mushers/dogs need to do now to qualify. Hm.
 
Afternoon my dear friends... really dull day here, it rained this morning, but now it's grey and cloudy.

I've been clearing out my closet of clothing which I've kept in the hope of fitting into them, but I'm never going to be that skinny again, so they have to go... not sure whether to sell them..some are very new.. or just donate the whole lot.. .
 
Recuperating from a glorious day of fun with my grandson! Also catching up with an old friend, by phone, this afternoon. Have a lot to say to each other, we haven't talked in two whole weeks!

It's in the fifties out there, and in here, no heat & I'm freezing! Heat, I want heat! Maybe I'll bang on the 'pipes' like they used to do in the 'old days!'

Okay. I had breakfast. Time to do my housekeeping chores and take my bony butt out to the garden and get stuff done.

@hollydolly I can't advise. Every time I ever decided to donate all the clothes that didn't fit, I either lost a whole lot of weight or gained a whole lot of weight almost as soon as the clothes were gone.

see that's exactly why I've held onto them GeeGee, because that same thing happens to me. ..but of course every time I buy something , I'm getting less and less space for the new stuff. It's not that I don't regularly donate , I do.. but I've held onto the load of clothes because they're almost all new, and never worn... , and I felt that as always happens, I'll donate or sell, and I'll lose weight and have to run to the expense of repurchasing.. and probably not be able to get my favourites again.

The simple..perhaps not so simple would be to lose the weight.. but then all my new clothes wouldn't fit either.. so Rock and a Hard place.. and I've decided enough is enough, they've gotta go.. . Gonna spend some time sorting and deciding whether to sell online or not.. there's quite a substantial amount of money to be made, but I also don't like the hassle of uploading, selling, packing, posting..and all that palaver..

Another morning to smile about. I'm keeping my clothes from 8 years ago when I was still working as they all fit! I do weed out whatever I am tired of, or replacing with a newer style.

As for Will Trent, I really do enjoy this new series. Quirky for sure, but it's put together differently. Now, @OneEyedDiva , when I'm watching I'll know you are, too!

Today I am getting that macular eye jab.
It bluddy well hurts so not looking forward to that even though the Doc is young tall dark and handsome.:love:
Another excuse not defrost that small freezer.
So depending on how well he jabs ( now, now ladies , pure thoughts) I may be missing in action for day or two.

Meanwhile you all

everyone!

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, I think I was too tired! I laid there listening to the rain. ☔ This morning, I feel like Wyle E Coyote....right after he gets hit by the Acme truck!!!

Everything is wet outside, and that is all of the excuse that I need! Today I'm not going to do anything, but lay around, sewing, reading, etc.

Just tried my new AF out..baked a Sausage roll... Incredibly it took 3 minutes less than my current AF.. and a massive 10 minutes less than it takes in the Oven... 25 mins in the oven.. 18 mins in my tower AF.. and 15 in the new AF

I have a closet full of new things that I purchased on clearance. A couple of different sizes. I never have to worry if I get invited somewhere. I just go to the closet and pull out a new outfit. I have shoes and handbags in there as well. I do not like to shop, this makes it easy for me to feel more relaxed when something social comes up. No pressure!

well yes there is that to it as well. I pretty much have everything anyone could want ..like you.. including bags shoes and outerwear, but in truth, it's wayyyy too much, and I really have to be honest with myself that some of the styles are now beginning to look a little young for me too..
