Morning all....I woke up at 4:30 this morning too....I've had my coffee and breakfast and cleaned out several cabinet shelves in the laundry room, threw away old meds, over the counter and prescriptions, freed up a lot of space...now if I can keep the momentum going.
 

not taking any notice of this extra bank holiday , i need to get out ...somewhere !! Anywhere !

so my monday drive to waitrose , which is an hour roundtrip, for extra bits

nothing is local here

hubby likes the drive as he sees all the sheep, horses, goats etc , along the way

he stays in the car and listens to music and eats all my sweets LOL while i shop

home for lunch , now online business and housework ....

Saturday morning we got a massive snowstorm and lost tv, internet and half the power. I don’t have heat but do have a space heater. The entire building has partial power so must be on 2 different transformers.

I won’t be going anywhere until the parking lot is plowed. So my plans for yesterday and today didn’t happen. Glad that I have data on my phone and that all our power isn’t out or I would have had to h

Already had my early morning coffee, and at about 9 am I started on the outside Christmas lights. Had them all down by 9:45. As you can guess, they were minimal and did not need a ladder to put up or take down.

Brought the empty boxes in from the garage to attack the Christmas tree either later today or tomorrow or... In the mean time, I need to make a trip to Publix for a few essentials, just in case we feel the need to eat today.

Happy 2023!!

Today was financial reconciliation day. I recorded the last dividends and capital gains that came in on my Divs-Caps spreadsheet. I also tallied the value of each investment and liquid asset on the spreadsheets I created. I do this quarterly and am always anxious to see how I fare at the end of each year. Now that I have these figures, I know how much more is due on my 2022 Zakat (obligatory charity). I complete a comprehensive form that establishes how much Zakat should be paid. Paying Zakat, which is donated to the poor, is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, so I take getting it right seriously. I also tallied up the rest of what my son owes for his charges on my (our) cards for this statement period. I calculated what cash back rewards he's due for the last quarter, then transferred that amount to his account.

This afternoon, we watched (well, I rewatched) two episodes of Reacher. I fell asleep during part of the second one. I also had phone conversations with my BFF and online BFF, did more napping and watched a little more of Criminal Minds. Since I finished the finale of the original, I'm watching the reboot and also starting to watch the seasons I missed. Of course I played WWF and am spending time on SF and FB.

Here is one of the pages of the Zakat form:

Whoa!!! That's waaaay too much work for me, GF. I keep monthly track of my overall balances and get statements at the end of the year. DH & I support numerous charities throughout the year - mostly through monthly donations.

I suspect your percentage of support is far greater than ours. ❤️

I babysat the Littles last night and right now I am attempting to make Buzz Lightyear waffles with a mold.

They bear more resemblance to Muzz Nighmare than to Buzz Lightyear.

Why anyone would produce Buzz Lightyear pancake molds is beyond me, but the fool is soon parted from his money.......

Well, the pancakes are edible.

I have a very old Mickey Mouse waffle maker, and it turns out waffles that actually do look like MM. Newer versions aren't nearly as good.

Most press-in-the-design waffle, pancake and cookie makers don't work worth beans. It's not you, Jujube, it's them.
 
I planned on walking at four different times today around my hallway for 15 minutes each time. I was only able to do it for 7 minutes the first time. So I am not limiting myself to 15 minutes but will see how long I can go each time. I am using my walker because I have to. But not holding onto it very hard. Keeping my hands loose and look straight ahead (Never down!).
 
Today…..
Garbage pick up tomorrow…..have a full bin, missed last week, due to my drive blocked with snow.
Been sorting through stuff, so there’s some extra.
Doing my 1st of the year check through my journal of sites, passwords, etc……have added 4, and deleted several that I don’t use anymore.
I’m getting closer to my sewing machines……have to get all the other stuff done so I can enjoy my time at my machines……long list of sewing I want to do.
I will start a lot of extra cleaning soon……kinda like spring cleaning, only in the winter.
 
This everyone-taking-Monday-off-b/c-NewYear–was-Sunday is really messing me up =(. Can’t go to the optometrist to pick out new eye glasses, can’t make appt to talk with folks at the Learning Disabilities center in town (so I can hopefully get a better grasp of granddaughter’s autism for when I babysit)…. Went to Lowe’s to get a small chest freezer; first there were no sales people in the appliance department, then after a turn around the store to try to find something else, there are sales people but also about 6 clients waiting to be served. eye yay yay. So we’ll save that for another day.

Working on getting my knitted head band (to cover my ears) done so I can take it along with me to Darien later this week. The weather is supposed to be in the high fifties and on the coast it will certainly be windy/cooler, so I want to be prepared. Looking forward to my little vacation.

On the whole, though, nothing to complain about and much for which to be grateful. Have a lovely day wherever you are. :giggle:

That’s one of the things about apartment living I forgot about.

Looks like we've got a scammer........big time.

I just reported him on one of the ads. Don't know what else I should do but I don't want to go to every single one.

I wondered about reporting one. It had been there for 30 minutes so I figured someone had reported him already. Does it overload @Matrix if we’re all reporting the same things.
