What are you doing today 2023

Very early in the day I did some financial stuff. After breakfast I began tackling a task I've been dreading, therefore procrastinating about....cleaning out our storage closet. Two things prompted me to do it today. I'm looking for a winter coat that I thought I had put in the dry cleaning bag in there (it's not there) and our cute little Deja has really damaged the hamper I had in the bathroom with her scratching (I'll "talk" about what else Deja did with that hamper in a future [Pets] post). I was going to try make room for the hamper in the closet by putting one of the smaller Rubbermaid ones that's in there in the bathroom. I decided that instead I'll just put the damaged one on the garbage. There were also boxes with items I decided could be discarded. I'm glad my son said he knows where several clothing drop boxes are because I was able to give him two garbage bags full of clothing to donate. I wanted to give them to a women's social program in town that I have donated so many bags to but since they moved to another location their rules and hours to accept donations have become complicated and would be inconvenient for him.

Of course I had to clean the floor in there and I'm in the process of rearranging some boxes to make the most efficient use of space. I have my mother's through the wall AC stored at the very back in case I need to replace the one in the bedroom that I've had for at least 40 -45 years (Emerson Quiet Cool that still works). A friend told me a couple of years ago that I was storing it wrong (on it's side), so I had my son set it upright after he got home from work. Between chasing our devilish kitten off my table and counters (she just discovered she can get on the counters), lifting and moving items ..I got tired and took a nap after eating dinner. This is a job I intend to continue tomorrow.
 
The attempted ride home was so horrible I have chest pain & headache from it. They FINALLY had to call an Uber for me. The uber driver was such a lovely person. My Buffy was so upset about being left alone so long she gave me a gift of a lump of poop on the floor. No accident, deliberate. Bad Buffy, Bad! 😼

My chest really hurts. This drama is getting to be too much for me. I barely feel safe outside the home anymore if I'm not with my son. I'm not having a heart attack, I don't think. The experience just weakens me. Being home is synonymous with being safe for me. I have to do better if I want to visit my grandson and I do.

I am so sorry it sounds like it was a terrible ride. It is a physical problem, right? Maybe listening to soothing music on a mp3 player when you are riding could help relax you during the ride. Getting your mind off the actual ride.
 
@Pepper Sorry for the stress! I don't usually get physical symptoms, for me my mood gets...um...cranky? Nasty? Maybe agitated describes it. Whatever it is, it wears me out.

@hollydolly It's time for a party at your house. We'll all come and help you empty the freezers if you'll do the cooking.

I slept until 6. Holy cow! I only woke up because Maggiecat was staring at me.

Nice and warm and calm right now, but the weatherheads say it'll only last until around noon. After that we're supposed to have storms, including maybe even a tornado.

This place is a mess because I've put off cleaning up, thinking I'll deal with it today. Today is here. Guess it'll get cleaned up.

I am currently thinking about my next trip to Spain. I am reading some travel blogs to see which hidden areas of Spain I can visit, as I am currently living in Malaga.

I'm new enough here that I don't know what you're fighting/dealing with, but I wanted to check in this morning to ask if you're feeling better today? Chest pain eased? I *do* understand about home feeling safe and if I wouldn't have to go anywhere at all, I'd choose that option... especially during these bitter cold winter months. @Pepper

It's not the ride as much as the torture of waiting for them to send someone; then lying about their misinformation

Yesterday…..made good success in opening up the guys paths in the backyard.
Only had about a 1/3 of it open since the big dump at Christmas, and pulled a muscle in my back shovelling Christmas Day.
Was nice temps….was able to get a good 40 feet cleared…..another 20 feet or so to finish…..-18c right now, will try some more later if it warms up.
Yes, my muscle in my back is feeling it……
But……
Watching the guys have a rip around was well worth it to see…..they had a blast.
But……
My corgi, Micki……..forgot to stop where the shovelling ended……plowed into the sNOw…..backed out, shook off, and off she went again.

I need to buckle down and finish my continuing education so I can get my nursing license renewed. I saw a part-time ad for hospice nurse yesterday and sent the application in before I realized it is at one of the Savannah offices. (I keep the mileage filter on the job searches less than 25 miles, so I don't know how Savannah--90 miles away--sneaked in there. But hey, if it's only one or two days a week, I could "do" Savannah!

Connected with a long-time friend this AM and will have coffee with her at local coffee shop tomorrow for a catch-up chat. =)

Also on the agenda today, making bean soup, grocery shopping and some cleaning.

Y'all have a lover-ly day!

You're in the Savannah, Georgia area? Hmmm.... for some reason I thought you were in the northwest.

Lovely area, Savannah! (As is the NW.)
