We cleaned our home til it shined.... so, no, there aren't any accomplishments to be done today. It will be a relaxing day for us.

Well, I'd say you are accomplishing relaxing today and you cleaned your home, too! That's a good thing~ ;) (y)
 

So far today I have accomplished getting up, taking a good shower (it's so humid now and this really helped!), eating my breakfast and lunch, feeding the pets, taking the dog out, taking the dog to the groomer where she is right now and I'll be picking her up in about 35 minutes.

Oh boy, cleaning an oven can be very hard sometimes with all the wiping and rinsing and sometimes scrubbing baked on stuff. How did you clean it or was it self cleaning?

Indeed, it can be a lot of work to get one clean. We had rental houses when I was a kid, and cleaning up after some people is a whole lot of work. Dirty ovens and toilets that had never been scrubbed. ..... frightening!

That's something I need to use too; Murphy's! I bet you feel good about it! I dusted everything the other day.

I sure did, Ruth.
I got one of those electric gadgets with the little grinding wheels and set to on the hard skin on my size 10 feet.
I was grinding away for about half an hour, there was a right heap of skin dust, and guess what, I'm a size 9 now. 😊

Ooooh! Ooooh! Great idea:). I just ordered bigger shoes; it seemed easier, somehow;).
 
Today, I fretted over an issue with a nasty neighbor and I picked my blueberries and tomatoes - the peas are done and I don't feel like doing a second planting. I also put up a cage around the tomato plant - it's 'indeterminant.' That means that it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger still! I waited all day for a little canopy contraption that I ordered to cover my kiddy pool - Fed Ex has had it in Pennsylvania, then OHIO (where I actually LIVE!), and now it's in Michigan!!! The latest update has changed the projected arrival to tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath! Oh, I also dismantled a solar light that stopped working two years ago - DUH, and I finally read the instructions, which say that the battery is only good for a year! It probably costs more than the light! AND - I converted a Tiki "table-top fire bowl" to use up cans of Sterno that have been in my shed for years... It's now after 7 PM and I realize that all that I've eaten today was a handful of blueberries and two small tomatoes - going to force some food down my throat very soon!

Have a good dinner, you've done so much today and probably worked up an appetite!
 
I took the doggy and myself to BK where we had a fish sandwich, fries, Hershey pie slice and diet cherry coke--yum! Had such a taste for their fish and Suzy liked it too! Then we drove around the park looking for a parking spot close to the walking path--it was so crowded so we just sat in the car and ate then left. We'll go back at another time when it's not so crowded and there is a good parking space.

It was a commercial oven at work. I had to clean it. We don't possess self cleaning at work. I have another one to clean but I doubt I'll get to it. Our other backup cook got canned today. I have to work 12 days straight so they'll get what I can manage & like it. They're trying to contact the FT cook whose on vacation to see if she can at least relieve me 2 days. I doubt she will.

I've come in off vacation twice to help out in yrs past. But that's ok. What comes around goes around.

I get where you're coming from Ruthanne, I find that since so many people are still ''working from home'' everywhere I go which is usually quiet during the working week is packed!! Yesterday for example at the retail parks , it was like a Saturday or Sunday morning at Christmas, just solid with cars and people.. ...still poor things they can't go back to work because they fear catching the virus... :unsure:
