Today I don't have to go anywhere. I am thinking of taking a walk in the park. Getting some items together to put on the free table in the community room too. If I don't use it, I don't need it. I will find some more things in my storage area to get rid of it.

Then just normal housecleaning chores like vacuuming and dusting. These apartments get dusty fast so I try to keep up on it. Still going through the pile of papers here. They are on my printer, which I have not had a chance to work on getting it reconnected to my computer. I need my brain to do that and haven't had a chance to concentrate on it.

Not an exciting day by any means, but that is what is happening today here. I hope you all have a beautiful day wherever you are!

Any of the chores are okay with me, but paper baggage always feels like the big hassle. Once the paper is organized, the rest just seems like repetitive chores.
 
My early walk at 6:30 walked downstairs out to water flowers/ plants in our community garden. I don't water them all I only do 13. Afterwards, walked 2 X around garden circle, was cool 63 degrees,no wind walked back upstairs 3 flights to my apt
This morning, Mary&I are going on our weekly 'road trip',today Target, looking at microwaves. I've had mine since '05,thinking of getting a new one
The rest of the day,read NYT,my book, take another walk before the rain supposedly coming this afternoon
I was 'channel surfing a week ago,found StartTV which has reruns of 2 favorite shows 'The Closer and spin off Major Crimes". The Closer at 6-8pm, Major Crimes 8-10pm , most of cast members continued in 'Crimes' except Kyra Sedgwyck J.K. Simmons

Hope you have a beautiful day too.
 
It was raining all morning, but now the sun is out, and it's drying up now at 2pm ... .🌞🌞

I've cleaned the kitchen , and scrubbed all the cabinet doors.. sorted some files in the office room and got them put away in their relevant boxes which means having to climb ladders to get them filed


Had a snack lunch of 1/2 of a red onion and Fontal Cheese Pantofola

If you don't do anything else today, you've already accomplished a lot.

Today I want to take some boxes and a big board out to the dumpster. Hoping I can figure a way to do it on my walker. I always hate to have to use a grocery cart. Then working on my pile of papers that seem to be getting larger rather than smaller. My portable table came yesterday and I want to fix my computer wires so I can just move from my table to to the portable one easily. It reaches and I already tested it. So need to work on that today.

Then this afternoon I have Bingo downstairs.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Nicely done HD.
@Pecos Did you get a new prescription?
 
DH is at a doctor's appointment so I'm home babysitting two dogs. One is ours the other is our daughter's. When he gets home I'll go to Costco and the grocery store.

As I'd mentioned yesterday, last evening I tried out DD's instant pot to cook a pound of dried garbanzos that I presoaked. Pretty easy - 6 minutes cooking time.

We go through a lot of garbanzos because I make hummus at least weekly. Last time I made hummus I checked the weight of the drained beans - 9.3 oz in a 16 oz can. The drained garbanzos I made in the instant pot yielded a surprising 34 oz. Aldi garbanzos are now 73¢ per can (up from 49¢ two years ago!). I can buy dried garbanzos for 99¢/pound.

Net price of drained beans: canned: 7.8¢/oz, dried: 2.9¢/oz. The price difference really surprised me though it doesn't include electricity costs. Yes, canned beans are very convenient and I'll always keep some in my pantry, but I'm considering making dried beans my default choice.

When you get a chance, maybe give a refresher BINGO COURSE. In the past, long ago, I played bingo at the fishing rodeo. Now I can't remember the details. Yes, the picture reminds me how people felt at the time.

LOL. I think it will come back to you! They will call out a letter and number. Look on your card for that number under whatever letter was called. (Ex: "B5". The number 5 is in the "B" column). If you have the #, then cover it. Winning varies according to which game is being played. Usually, you need to cover all of the #s in one column OR one line OR one diagonal. The person calling the #s will tell you what you need to win.

I hope this helps you. Don't forget to share your winnings with me! 💰
 
Please keep reporting on your IP tests, @StarSong Six minutes of electricity isn’t much. How is the cleanup. Our canned garbanzos are usually $2, on sale, which I hope they are now because I just used the last can.
