What are you doing today?

Wound up getting a flu shot yesterday so my arm is a little sore today. Had a not-wonderful evening because that shot always gives me 24 hours of minor misery with slight body aches.

I went ahead and made a huge pot of vegetable-bean soup yesterday. Only cooked it long enough for the veggies to be tender-crisp. So scrumptious. Used up all the remnant this-and-that in the crisper drawer, the leftover fresh tomato sauce from the pizzas I made Saturday, plus the fresh veggies I bought for it while shopping yesterday morning, and threw in some frozen veggies to round it out.

I'll play today by ear based on how I feel post flu shot. So far, so good. Probably just a little housework.
 

Like StarSong says, had flu shot yesterday and had a very restless night. My arm has never been this sore before. Must be using square needles now.
Today, out termite inspector person came and gave us a good report. No signs of termites. We had them bad 15 years ago so we have the inspection once a year now. Later today, nothing planned.
 
Today I photographed a group of runners that has raised money for a tent for children with special needs to use. A new shop that sells short date food cheap to avoid it going to landfill. And the signing of a, Anti-Harmful Gambling Charter by local council senior officers and union reps.

Oh - and I had a nice lunch :)
 

Lovely sunny day but windy in the open... I went to the nearest Aldi and bout a load of bread products to stock up the freezers.. and as often is the case I bought a few things I had no intention of buying from the middle aisles..( aisles of shame) I got a big tub of hand wipes, and some tupperware style boxes..... I brought them home put everything away and then went out to pick some corn from the fields nearby.. and also take some apples for my friends horses... We ( my friends and I ) stopped off at a roadside pub , and had some chocolate brownies .. and coke for me .I'm tee-total 🥤

This afternoon was beautiful went to the bank,then walked over to my friends Marcia&Dave's house.She told me via email ,she wouldn't be home tomorrow morning for our usual weekly Sat chat.I brought her Paul Krugman's column in today's NYT
I knocked on the front door,walked in,she was in the living room.The family dog,Aker aka my 'buddy boy' was upstairs lying on their bed where the afternoon sun comes in.He heard my voice,raced down stairs wagging his tail.I asked if I could take him for a walk we went around the block,he enjoyed himself as did I.Marcia&I took him for a walk in beginning of Aug which feels like months ago
 
Half our basement is workshop/storage. DH has been slowly sorting things & I’m starting too. When I worked, they’d throw away all letterhead that was outdated. I’d save the paper for scratch pads. I know I’d downsized this two or three times already. Today I got tougher. I rarely write anything on paper. Also got rid of the pens & pencils that would have been used on all this paper. Putting together piles of various things for charity.

When looking for a flower vase, I decreased my collection to half. If I really need something, I’ll go to a charity store and buy one. When gifting flowers, I buy a vase there. They charge a fortune for these things when you buy your flowers in a vase.
 
Today doesn't look promising. Went to bed a little after 10:00, woke up a bit after 2:00, got up a bit before 3:00 AM. I hate when this happens - and it happens increasingly often. Glad y'all are here for me 24/7. ♥

@Jules, may I make a recommendation about the pens, pencils and office supplies? Donate them to a school or a local MS or HS teacher. Kids are forever losing pens and pencils.
 
I took my early morning walk at 7:10 since I didn't wake up until 6:50
It was a tad nippy outside 40 as the sun was rising no wind was refreshing. I went to buy local paper&WSJ, watered the plants/flowers in our community then walked up 3 flights of stairs
I really don't have any plans today,laundry this morning,may sit outside this afternoon in garden if it gets warmer
 
For the last week, Working in the front yard, took out the annuals. Putting perennials, irises, in along the fence where the lime green grass was. moved the lime green grasses into the annual bed that I cleared. Also added some blue green grass (fake 😂 oat grass) in front of the lime green grass-looks great! But had to pay full price 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Moved some blue green grass that has pink flowers to be in front of the fake oat grass. They are separated by a line of pinkish small castle rock. For the back I bought a blackberry grows in a large pot bush, a yellow raspberry, and another grape. Took out the garden, rearranged the space to give better access to the back yard but it doubled the veggie garden space.

Also did some other yard work. Husband has been extremely cooperative in this process and somewhat pleasant. So nice from his usual difficult self, I hope his good mood lasts, lots more to do.

I don't know why it happens but it's not pleasant at all and I'm trying to stop doing that but it's very hard. 😭

I do that-especially recounting when I neglected to do something for a stranger that I should have, or gave some random employee a hard time for something that was not their fault. I think it means I am generally a good person, so when I am not, the negative behavior settles into my memory like a rock in a shoe.

God’s reminder that He expects more of me and my end is coming? 😂. Atone now!

It is a sign, Ruthanne, that you are a good person. 😍
 
Today our junk room is almost completely clean. It’s taken over a week to clean but the entire room was filled with stuff. We made another trip to the garbage dump, burnt a lot of garbage and have a truck full of stuff to go to goodwill. By the end of the day it will be completely cleaned out.
 
I actually managed to change my sheets and make my bed properly today! Proud of myself. After breakfast I am cleaning my bunny's cage and then my Monday chores. I even wrote another new blog post which is good since I just did one on Saturday.
 
My plan was to start cleaning outside of the windows......got the ladders out yesterday, to be organized......but.....50/60 mile an hour winds......not climbing any ladders in that wind.

Decided to do shopping, usually do that on Saturdays, didn't feel like shopping.
Sadly, grocery shelves seem to be scarce on things again.......but did come across a nice surprise......the only yogurt i like is, oikos greek yogurt, strawberries on the bottom......were out of that......so i see they had the same kind, but with chocolate/ bananas on the bottom.......the yogurt is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Going to add that one on my favorite list......soooooooooooo good.

Have you ever seen anyone get so excited about yogurt...........now you have.:D:D:D:D:D.

Well, I get awfully excited about frozen yogurt with gummy bears and double almonds 😍
 
I had a very quiet day today after a busy weekend. It was a beautiful sunny day so as always all my windows were open. I washed up, cleaned the kitchen floor, then I emptied the bird bath in the garden , and scrubbed that out and refilled with fresh water.

Took a brush to all the spiders webs that appear on the trellis overnight and even on the high hedges ..I have never seen the amount of spiders webs ever in my life that I've seen this year. I literally have to brush them off every day..even off the wing mirrors on my car..

Tonight I made dinner.. and other than those things I really had a very quiet day
