Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I don't know exactly why but I wasn't feeling like doing a thing today and then I did some laundry and it was sheets and mattress covers. I felt I'd accomplished something at least...And I have a fresh bed to climb into tonight :giggle: ❣

I found a small laundry basket, put a small pillow in it and got a small cheap blanket and made it into a carseat for my chihuahua! His buddy died yesterday, so to change things up a bit and bring some light on the day ahead, I put him in the basket, strapped him in and he was pretty happy to go for a ride with me. I saw the idea on Pinterest for a DIY car seat. I put him in the seat up front and the basket worked great. I just don't want to pay those high prices for those seats or covers.

I'm sorry to hear about his buddy but happy that he has a nice little bed to sleep in.
 
Well I managed to accomplish doing some grocery shopping this morning and when I got back to park in my favorite parking spot someone had taken it and boy was I mad. I got over it pretty fast though because there was another parking spot that I could take and I was glad at least that the lady who got the other spot was the person that I thought she was. I know that she too has a hard time of it.

Yesterday, I went in to the medical company I do sort term contracts for every year since I retired, and helped them get a new project off the ground. This morning, I signed up for a year of guitar lessons focusing on arranging for solo instrumental guitar - pop tunes, standards, etc. I am always seeking to improve in this area. So now, moving forward, I will have the incentive to get arrangements done and a coach to critique these in a positive and productive manner.

Every day, I accomplish something, which may be as simple as getting my wife through the day and to appointments, or getting an engineering project off the ground, or writing another arrangement for the guitar. I am always doing something.

I keep my husband busy, busy, busy. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it. Otherwise, he would, well, just sit in a recliner and watch tv. 🙄 😂

I can do that for a while, but then I get too antsy and want to do something productive. In a sense, I envy those who can just sit all day and relax. 😉

Why, yes I did!

I successfully resisted bopping the Spousal Equivalent over the head with something not-so-soft as we went into the second consecutive day of him moaning from dawn to dusk about something he can't get to go into place on his Harley. I'm honestly sorry he can't get it to fit in, I really am, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, so for the love of Pete, SHUT UP ABOUT IT! Or if you can't shut up about it, keep the whining in the garage.

Sorry to hear you lost a little loved one....... You're chihuahua most certainly will be missing his buddy.
Good for you for making the extras to ease him through the loss.......they know things too.
You're a great pet parent.

Went for hot dogs and ice cream for lunch. That’s about my exciting day...

There is a high end hot dog and hamburger restaurant that has been opening around town lately, called Portillo's:

https://www.portillos.com/menu/restaurant/

I didn't see prices but since it is a really nice building and not a hot dog truck, I imagine it is expensive. :)

Checking the ratings, it seems to get so-so ratings rather than good reviews, generally based on the service rather than food quality. What my wife and I like to do is go to a decent sub shop and get ideas for making more interesting sandwiches. Maybe we will try this place sometime. Places around here seem to being well with social distancing, enforcing masks, cleaning tables and other things that get touched, etc. so I don't feel at high risk going out once in a while. For us right now, that might mean once or twice a month.

Winding up my sorting frenzy.
It's a good feeling, things i know will never make use of, got donated, give away, and some was just garbage, and that's where that stuff went.
The heavy part of this task is done.......which is a good thing......was waiting for help moving some heavy containers, sadly, that help never came, didn't even get a reply, thought i waited long enough, so i lifted and moved.
Now i'm paying the price......my left hip joint was the better of the two.....not any more.
Have been wanting to move my microwave from a built in spot to on the counter.........why.......i'm short, and it's too high......is a tight fit, can't clean around, top or under it.......every time i go to open it, it slides back, the spot it to deep.
Have mentioned this several times in the last couple of years......my last attempt for help was a no go.....no reply.
So.
I did it myself......wasn't easy......pulling it out enough and hanging on to it while i pulled the power cord.........sigh.
That didn't add anything good to my hip joints.

Was always taught.......try an be helpful whenever possible.......certainly to the older ones.

Oh well.......got those tasks done, makes me happy.

On the other note........how long do you think it will take me to get used to the microwave in a different spot.........still working on that.🙃🤪😜😝🙃😉
 
No shower for me tonight. I guess some construction crew bore a hole in the water line by accident. They fixed it and it's been a couple hours. I'm done wastin all the water I'm goin to waste for one day. If it ain't better by mornin they're goin to hear some hollerin. I'm not showerin in somethin the color of piss.
