Once again my day is planned without asking......sigh.
You'd never know i shovelled yesterday.....last nite before i went bed, i cleared the paths for the guys for their jobs.....all filled in through the nite.
Had to do it again before their jobs this morning.
Guess what i'm doing today......shovel...melt down.....shovel....melt down....and so on and on.
Recycle to the curb.....not going to get there.
Hope you all are going to have a good day.
 

Today is sunny...finally., but very cold......and really I should have gone to the recycle centre... but I just couldn't be bothered with it all, being as it would just be for that trip alone. Tomorrow I have appointments and meetings , so I'll drop the stuff off on my way to my first meeting..

This morning I've got the never ending leaves raked and swept up.. .

I got some storage boxes emptied of stuff I've had for years.. and threw them out. mainly stationary items that are of no use to me anymore, and then I rearranged the stuff in all the other storage boxes, and relabelled them.

It's 1.40pm the sun is still shining, I can hear the game shooters in the woods... , and I'm still tempted to go out to the Tip...just to take a drive in the sun for a change .. but I 'll just go and have some lunch instead.. . Incidentally I've lost 1/2 a stone ( 7 pounds) since Christmas day on my diet
 
Yesterday, I pulled a ton of summer clothes from my closet for Goodwill, and a few pairs of heels that were only worn a couple of times. We'll be dropping them off today.

I've got a bag full of laundered bath towels and new rope toys for the Humane Society. I've ordered 4 pet bowls and 6 pet blankets from Amazon for the Humane Society - which will be here in a few days.

Now, if only the library would start accepting books .. I have a few brand new copies to donate.

I'm on a clearing-out jag.

I hope you have better luck than I had.. a few years ago, the local library said they don't accept books from 'patrons,' and later a local thrift shop said all they take are romance novels.

Our library accepts donations of books.... but if yours doesn't can't you donate them to a university or a school.. or even the Charity shop..:giggle:

Not only do our charity shops all take books. but we have specific Charity Book shops.. Oxfam for example which is a huge international charity has book stores, where all book donations are welcome..

I have pretty much cleared out all I can. I would like to clear out one more bookcase, it does not contain books, but I don’t know where I would put the things it contains. 🤔. I want to move that bookcase to Joey’s.

I want to switch to that one bedroom as soon as possible, which is in July. Husband will get the bedroom and I will have my stuff in the living room. All in preparation to move to as small and inexpensive a living space as possible if he should die before me. (Small chance of that, but it could happen).

No way I can afford these high prices so eventually I would probably be in a studio apartment in a senior building. This would mean about 500 sf living space. I also want flooring not a carpet cause Stella, while getting better, will probably never be fully potty trained. Due to her bladder issues and my laziness 😊-potty pads forever.
 
Made an early trip to Walmart for food ,etc.

Bought small slice of ham for lunch.
After lunch walked the dog.
He's got a bad habit forming.

He's wearing a harness with back clip for leash.
Manages to turn harness enough that he can get the clip end of leash in his mouth.

Am thinking I may need to go with a gentle leader/ harness leash type for him.
 
Spent this afternoon, researching legal issues , spent so much time on the phone, my arm is physically aching... :oops:

Trying to keep to my diet, so for dinner tonight I had half a small Pita bread, with tomatoes, one wafer thin slice of Serrano ham, and a ladle full of boiled mushrooms...

DD has just rung, she's been poorly for a week ( stress related because she cant find a new home to buy or even rent before her lease is up, and it's made her really unwell ..).. but she's continued to go to work, and she's exhausted...and tonight she was in tears because it's all just got on top of her.. :(

Oh dear, that is such a sad and difficult situation. :(
Very sorry she's having such a trying time, Holly.

Thanks Kaila, it's hard for me to see her like this.. and know there's nothing I can do. I've joined in the search for the last few weeks for a new home for her, and nothing is available anywhere near where she works... or it's far too expensive...
 
Going for my 3 month Cat Scan of my lungs. It's freezing out there, but the imaging facility is just up the street.
Why are you having the Cat Scans and how did you know something was amiss? I ask because I am debating if I should once again tell my health care provider I am having a breathing problem. He is a young and very positive person and keeps telling me I have arthritis, which he can see with his x-ray vision from across the room. 😂 But I am not sure that is the only problem I have. :ROFLMAO: I may die of embarrassment because I am a paid senior companion and my clients are in better physical condition than I am despite exercising in the pool 5 days a week. My efforts to stay fit make it even harder for me to have faith in the idea don't have another physical problem besides arthritis.
 
Today is another Winter/Stay Indoors day, with freezing temps and gusty winds....thankful for the TV and Computer. More snow forecasted for late tonight, and it may be days before the temperature gets above freezing. Winter? Blaaaah!
Our snowy weather has passed and now we just have rain. Rain means warmer weather and that 10-degree difference feels so much better! The rain is light right now so I enjoyed a short walk. Last week was snow and ice and between last week and this one we had powerful winds and some people lost electricity. Compared to last week, this is a good one, but some people are eager for the sunshine and nice days we probably won't see for a couple of months. I agree, thank goodness for the internet and TV.
 
On my early short morning walk around 6:40 was a tad breezy temp was 38
After breakfast and coming here I walked 3 blocks to local co-op{am a member} to pick up a couple of items. It was getting a bit more breezy, any snow we had on the ground had melted
The winds picked up this afternoon 25-30mph so I didn't venture out,rest of my day reading NYT,local paper,my book
