Today was laundry day. I stayed dressed after I got upstairs with the intention of going to the supermarket. As I was putting on my sneakers, something told me to check the weather. I usually do that beforehand. I looked out and saw a couple of drops, then checked the weather app which said rain was to start in 4 minutes. I decided that since I was already dressed, I may as well take the garbage to the dumpster area. First I took a bag full of the kind of boxes that don't get recycled here. I came back in and cleaned the litter box (again) and took the rest of the garbage out. By then I needed an umbrella, so I was glad I hadn't gone to the supermarket.

I talked with my BFF this morning and made a couple of business calls this afternoon. I'm in the process of watching two movies and got back to one of them this afternoon. Tonight I will play WWF and probably start watching the latest episode of 9-1-1 Lone Star.
 

Its sunny and windy , so ive stripped my bed and got the washer going , I think its a good drying day ,

I spilt a cuppa Tea on my mattress a few months back , I hate seeing the Stain , I think its time for a new Mattress , I can also feel the Springs , the prices have gone up like everything else since my last one ..

My dog just been barking at some strange noise by the GH , I dont know what it is , had a look inside , , Im wondering if its a Hedgehog come out of Hibernation maybe its trapped behind the fence . I shall go check again soon .
Have a good day .
 

Good Morning all! Listening to some videos on YouTube while I write this. Last night I had to get my legs up and hadn't washed dishes from supper. So washing them right now, almost done. Next I will be taking my shower. Today I have a hair appointment at noon. Sonny will be picking me up and he gets his hair cut while I wait with the color to take. Probably take a ride to Walmart and pick up more spring mix for my bunny boy.

I need to vent a bit. Just after the guy came to fix my freezer, the lady who comes to help me clean came over. As she came in I was setting up my crockpot to make chicken soup. She watched me doing it. When she was wiping down my counters she UNPLUGGED the crockpot!!!
She used to have a habit of unplugging my toaster and can opener until I told her not to. She has weird things she often does that I have had to tell her no to. I had gone into the kitchen to get a drink and saw it off......asked her why as she knew I was cooking. She just got all blonde and said..OH, I did not notice the plug was the crock pot...thought it was your toaster. I reminded her again to not unplug things..ever, SIGH. If it were not for the fact she does a good job on her routine tasks she would be out the door. I have no idea how long it was off. So I had to start it again.

We unplug the unused appliances. Microwave, toaster oven, charging cords for cell phones, lamps,window A/C units, etc, until we use them. Even turned off, many appliances keep drawing energy. It saves on electricity. Appliances draw phantom energy even though you are not using the appliance if left plugged in. It is best to unplug, especially with the cost of electricity these days. It also prevents surges of electricity from damaging the appliance.

I get that...but my actual vent is that she unplugged my crock pot while it was IN USE....I was cooking something in it. I am not sure how long it was unplugged,,,,,,if I had not looked at it, it would have gone all day not cooking
 
I'm decorating for Easter & probably will still be doing it for the next several days. Holiday decorating is my favorite thing (everyone has their thing!). We had one of the grandsons bring in the totes for us - I have a lot for Easter. I started on the mantle yesterday. I'm behind since St. Patrick's was fairly close but not as close as some years. I must stay focused these next couple days! LOL!!!
 
I didn't go far on my early walk at 6:30,just 1 time around apt complex, temp was 32
In about an hr, will be taking bus to drop off my tax info to my accountant,too far for me to walk Afterwards, will walk 3 blocks to Walgreens need couple of items
When I get home, hope to visit my friend, Thora who is now in care of hospice,she lives 1 floor above me. I'll need to call her son Mark to see if its a good time When Covid 1st started, she graciously offered to take me grocery shopping with her Fridays to local store we like Tops. I'll be forever thankful she did, got to know her better,very nice lady
After lunch, plan to take my afternoon walk maybe around the block, rest of my day read NYT,play some games on my phone, tonight see what's on Dateline at 9pm

Time for me to get back in the groove and visit with you all here once again. Today is my friend's birthday so taking her out to lunch. Maybe a little shopping, we both like a specialty grocery store and I just may sneak in the purchase of a small cake for her.

have a lovely day Lee... :D I'm still waiting for my visitor to arrive.. no ETA except ''afternoon''... tomorrow I'm driving 2 hours north to have lunch for Mothers day with my DD
 
My winter blahs are on a lag. Winter starts in October, but the blahs don't really start until January. Now it's warmer and the days are longer, but I'm feeling worse instead of better. I remember last year I was really bad in April. My neighbor came to invite me to Easter dinner, but there is no way I could have gone.

So I guess I need to be realistic and take it easy for the next few weeks. I don't really know where I can cut back though. Things still need to get done.

Ironically, I'm waking up earlier because the days are getting longer. So I'm awake, but I don't want to do anything. 🤷‍♀️
 
I’ve been out in the yard. This year the deer (so far 🤞) are giving my plants a break and not eating everything down to the nubbins. However, the squirrels apparently have decided my yard was the main burial ground for unwanted pine nuts…. I have plucked dozens and dozens of tiny pine sprouts. One section had a mini-forest growing— like they buried a whole pine cone

oh well, it’s easier to pull sprouts than to put leaves/flowers back after the deer have come through !
 
My thumb/bandaid only had a tiny drop of blood this morning. So,

for that.

Dio's temp is down to around 100° and holding. He says that he is feeling better, but......I'm not so sure about that. He never complains!

I'm all congested, but no fever.

for that, too.

It's a rain day. Andy just settled in for a nap. I think he has the right idea.

Yesterday, I made simmered chicken with slices of fresh garlic, for dinner. No fingers were added to this recipe.
