Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

[Pecos]

When the various children sang at the beginning yesterday-it was so touching-filled my heart with joy and hope.

Ours too.

Today I accomplished getting a delivery from Aldi's. I couldn't face going to the grocery store this week with how some don't wear masks or have them pulled down and employees coughing and sneezing in the store. I was satisfied with the delivery.

I also got a load of laundry done--my clothes. It's good to have that done at least.

 

[Ruthanne]

The first thing in the morning, I have my coffee...I then started the washing machine to load the week's clothes....Then the dryer....I just folded
the clothes....I went outside with hubby, he was fixing the robot for the pool....He just bought a new part....I did some things outside in the yard..
We are going to cut the lawn in a while....Not going anywhere....We did get food at the supermarket last Saturday....Will last for a while...
In the freezer and the Fridge....Be Well, everyone....♥

Oh, it would be so nice to have a pool. I haven't been swimming in years. Can I come over and take a dip?

This morning,I walked 7 blocks to grocery store,'PriceRite' hadn't been there in a couple of weeks.There prices are a bit cheaper than the other grocery store I go to.I just needed a couple of items.I was thinking of walking home but saw the bus coming,took that home instead This was my long walk of the day

Wow, you walked 7 blocks! Fantastic, and I bet you are in good shape (muscle-wise).

Got the hydraulic pump out of the neighbors tractor today. No easy task, as that bugger is heavy.
Not looking forward to the re-install.

Planted the rest of the plants, there were 55, ugh. Front yard needs some tune ups but it is done, thank heaven. Went to Costco they were out of paper plates yesterday, but had them today. Towels all dried on the dog run . while at Costco go eye test and ordered reading glasses.

The regular eye surgeon i see, does not do glasses. TV time, YAY.

Today it's 74 degrees and sunny. I had a new freezer delivered this morning at 8am , and the guys unwrapped it, and placed it in position in the shed for me, and then took the old chest freezer away and packaging away .

I've not been able to do anything aside from ''painfully'' stand and wash the dishes , due to my lower back pain, I can barely walk.. ... so I sit a while here by the window, with the sun beating through, with a heat pad on my back then get up and walk very gingerly up the garden to try and keep my back from locking completely..

Hope you're all having a better day.. thoughts and prayers to those in the way of the Wild fires..

Do you take a muscle relaxant, or does that not help? This happens to me occasionally .. not fun at all.

I honestly have no idea what Muscle relaxant I can buy OTC, Pinky.. The Doctor used to prescribe Diazepam, but now they're not allowed to prescribe for very long, and apparently I ran out of time about a year ago. Naproxen, does nothing for me at all, which is what they tend to prescribe . I wish I new what I could take as a muscle relaxant, honestly

You most likely don't have the same brands as we do here. Have you consulted with your chemist? I know of one called Robaxacet (Methocarbamol and Acetaminophen). I take it very infrequently, but when I do, it works.

Today I already brushed Rabbit and cleaned his cage. Before that I did my normal morning chores and now making breakfast.

I'll have a look at that Pinks, thanks

So far I haven't done a whole heck of a lot.
Put dogs blankets in the washer,, went to check how much longer.

Darn washer has stopped!

Didn't think load was out of balance.
Punched start ,, back to start of its cycle. grrr

Try ice instead of heat. If something is swollen, heat is not helping. After I get spinal shots it’s ice rights away, every 15 minutes, up to two days. Then you can do heat after. If you have a recliner get in it and try and fine the position that takes the pressure off the sore spot in your back.

Hope it get better soon, backs are so painful.

Not yet but it's early.

Watering, watering watering. Moved a bunch of daisies to the other garden. Then notice the little flowers it bought in spring are finally blooming-they are annuals. I am clearing this garden, in the front, to put in the grass i bought. Now, I have to move these cute little pink flowers.

After moving 250 creepers, ugh, but then what else do I have to do, but watch tv. So, yup, moving them. Watering front and back. Spread 6 bags of black mulch on the back garden path. The blacks looks great against the pink castle rock and I have white and blue pots of flowers sitting against the bricks.

In the garden above the pathway, pink and red roses sit. I arrange all the pots to sit on the path, in front of the raised rose garden, in between the roses. Looks great. A neighbor walks by, I unload a bunch of squash on him.

I have about a half hour left before it’s too hot. I need to get the rest of the annuals that are dying out and thrown away. But right now, I am taking a break. The roofer who repairs roofs is coming at 1.

Got in a row with the bank. Issue still not resolved, but I gave them their final warning before I escalate to the governing body, so I accomplished that much. Oh and a French lesson.

Now off to the dentist. If I don't chicken out that will be my crowning achievement for the entire week.

I got in a fast walk this morning while the temperature was still reasonable (barely).

Did my regular morning chores and then assembled a new higher kitchen gate for our Olympic High Jumping Bichon puppy who managed to jump over the original one, and then jumped over the original one with an additional five inches added to the height. None of the other four Bichons ever did this. The new gate is 14 inches taller, but I am not going to bet that Daisy can't clear this one as well.

This afternoon, it is time for a nap and then it is my turn to wash the sheets and make the bed.

I agree with the cold therapy, for swelling issues.

Made a batch of my favorite muffins......starting to panic.....no more left in the freezer, will make another batch tomorrow, thankful for A/C, i wouldn't be baking.....then i would be getting very owly.

Did some time outside, moving, rearranging stuff, think i'm happy now.....you know,i never rearrange furniture or cupboard, closets, except last fall i graduated from a single bed to a king size, had to move stuff a bit, but that's it, everything stays the same forever......maybe i make up for it outside.

Will go out and do some things after supper, when it cools a bit.

Makes me a happy camper, to accomplish something daily, big or small.

 

[peppermint]

I put the pool on this morning....A little cold to swim....It's a very different August....It started out very hot, now it cooled down...
I went in the gazebo to read my book....I didn't know part of one of the screens were off....I was wondering why I was getting
mosquito bites....Hubby has to put a new screen on....Then I went in the house to make dinner....
We were supposed to go to the Ocean, but traffic wasn't good today. We'll see how tomorrow brings us....

Yes

I enjoyed it

From dawn to dusk

Told my husband about this thread. I said the women say they did a load of laundry and the men say they got the gravely* out and cleared three acres. He said that sounded like fun. Of course it's not really true because there are women like Aneeda with her six bags of mulch, but women or men it cheers me up to hear about all the activity seniors can get up to.

* actually I said "got the bushmaster out" but it turns out that's a gun, sounded like a gravely to me.

Below is Kayelle's take on toad in the hole. I thought I made it, but checked the metadata and found out it 3 years after we were married.
As far as accomplishing anything, I assembled 2 Manager's chairs to use with our computers. The old chairs' armrests wore out, and these are much more comfortable, also. The trick was how to get rid of the old ones. I disassembled them and put them in 2 dumpsters.

...and further to that, I'll have you know I am out doing the gardening most days... as well as the laundry and the cleaning, and the shopping...
