Yesterday…..went through the chest freezer, if I couldn’t remember when items were bought, they’ve been there too long.
I don’t like throwing food out….was a job that had to be done.
Another waste….when through some bottom kitchen cupboards, to find several small bags of flour and sugar that have been there too long as well.
Need to check cupboards better before shopping…..I usually do, but apparently I missed these things.
Garbage to the curb this morning with all the extra clean out.

Now, that is what I need to do, again. It seems unavoidable that I have too much waste ever since I’ve been living alone. Tonight starts another stretch of snow, wind and cold so it will be a good time to clean the pantry, read, maybe catch up on TV, etc.

First, I have some pre-storm errands to run, post office, lunch, etc. I need salad ingredients so a quick trip for that. Then I can settle in for a long winter’s nap. ❄️❄️
 
I took down the closet door in my bedroom and hung curtains to match the ones on my window. Visually it looks better and much easier to get in the closet. The doors were heavy so I used a screwdriver and took them apart so I had 4 pieces. I had to carry each one separately to the garbage. If I lived in a house versus a condo I would have kept them.
 
Debedon, I allowed myself to gain 50lbs after retiring. It made my neck/back problems much worse and I had to go on 2 HBP meds instead of one. Finally got motivated in 2020 because old fat people were dying from Covid. I lost all the weight and have a normal BMI. I am back to one HBP medication and my orthopedic issues aren’t nearly as bad.

From trial and error I found out I can eat 1600/calories a day to maintain. My sister on the other hand has done nothing and each year her pain is worse because of the weight. It was definitely worth the effort.
 
Baby grandson should be here any minute. :love: It'll be a busy day chasing him, no doubt.

I gained a couple of pounds over the holiday - too much good food and way too many cookies. I'm motivated to evict them before they invite some friends to keep them company, which is what seems to happen with weight gains...
 
Today it's been - 3 deg.. ice everywhere.. I have auto defrost on my car and it still took a good 10 mins to defrost the screens.. and then it was all wet inside , and I had to dry it all off..

Everywhere I went today was packed.. Couldn't figure it out until the penny dropped that it's the first pay day since before Christmas..

Drove to 3 towns, and 2 counties..

Annoyingly went to collect a parcel from the Royal Mail sorting office.. checked their opening times, which said open until 7pm.. when I got there at 1pm they were closed..

2 Posties going home from their shift were less than complementary about the sorting office staff, and said they close at 10am.. and ultimately want it closed completely..
I was irritated, it makes no sense.. . Anyway it means I had to go online and rearrange a new delivery which can;t be done for another 2 days..

Hubby & I made a run to Walmart for a 'few' things.

We did escape from there, spending little under $100 :eek:

I didn't buy any cut flowers today,, hope to limit myself to one bunch a month.
The last 2 bunches lasted about a week or so.

I'm looking at the wall above my desk,, the pictures need dusted & wall wiped down.
Need the step ladder .

Before you all tell me be careful,,, hubby is here to pick me up .
I'm thinking of changing out the photos I have up there.
 
A simple day. TAi Chi class at 10am then lunch at a cvafe in Lancaster (soup and a roll for me). Spent 40min on Lancaster station to photograph a frieght loco I haven't seen before (why is there no Nerd emoji?) :) Cooked chilli burgers for tea (dinner if yer posh) and that's about it.

Likkle Grandson is here tomorrow so today was the calm before the storm. Bring it on! :love:
 
Well..I became the recepient of good news. I have one of those powered lift recliner chairs. BUT, the remote that controls the lift stopped working. Store had to order a new part. So, I have been a week unable to recline in my chair. The store called and the part is in, and they will bring it and attach it for me tomorrow. I am pleased and will start reclining my butt off again
 
Had a good day. Video chatted with a friend of mine for over 60 years again today. He's been sick with Covid, so we had a lot to catch up on, chatted 2 hours! Time gets away from us. We have so much fun teasing each other.
Goofed off all afternoon, and now am invited to dinner with three friends to an Italian restaurant. Can't complain about today. It's all about enjoying what you like doing best.:)
 
Hubby and I went to his Doctor appt then went to lunch. We sat next to 2 couples about our age. They were talking so loud we could hear everything they were saying. They were asking each other if when people get married should they never have sex before with anyone or should they be virgins when they get married. The guys said men should have sex with many women but women should be virgins. I laughed out loud and then we left.
 
It was pretty exciting around here today. The weather this morning started off beautiful and I worked out the details for having the house pressure washed tomorrow, including the glass sunroom which is tricky. Then I got to wash sheets, pay bills, and then get a haircut. I did work in a short nap this afternoon which was the highlight of the day.
