What are you doing today?

Since I won't be leaving town and will have forever to see the museums, plus I need to conserve my pennies to furnish my future home, I waited for the weekend (free parking, $1 train fare) to resume my exploration of the "modern art" portion of the Art Museum.
Modern art is practically not art at all! There was a quilt a woman had made from her deceased husbands work clothes (and not a cute inspired design type of quilt, it was what they apparently call a 'lazy quilt' with large irregular sections) in his memory and so she could sleep comforted by his clothes. It was a terrific idea, and very touching, but, NOT art! LOL - I'm no doubt displaying a terrible lack of culture.

Here is a picture of one of the art pieces that was especially unique in what I felt was a 'HOW IS THIS ART?' category, the artist had literally chiseled off a strip of wall plaster and left the pieces on the floor:

Think Modern art as we know it today started with Tracey Emin, and her unmade bed... Jeez.. genius I suppose for thinking it would look like art.. and it made her world famous.. but purleease.. how is this art ?.. I can look at an unmade bed all day long in my own home if I wished.. but I don't.. and thank goodness I don't have that garbage on my floor...

Money For Old Rope Art.. is what it should be called..

Wow! -23 is a bit chilly🥶

I've given a lot of thought about what to do on my day off tomorrow. The fridge is probably going to get cleaned. Yup. It's looking, well, ugh! That should make room for make-ahead stuff for Thursday.

And maybe I'll even dust and vacuum. That's still up for consideration...

No it's just 23 not minus. I put that minus sign just to separate my sentence. Thank God it's not below zero!
 
I've been up all night surfing the web, playing games on my phone, drinking coffee. I got on Amazon and bought a Christmas 🎄 tree. The picture of it looks nice and it already has tons of lights on it. It's 6 feet tall. I will get it Wednesday. I want to see it and then decide if I'll get a tree topper. Thinking of an angel.

Just washed the kitchen floor and soon I will cook some green beans and carrots for my dog. I mix it with her food. The Vet said those veggies are good for her.

Holly, Tracey Emin is a slob! That’s not art. I won’t use the adjectives I have in my mind to describe that mess.

yes well I thought so at the time, still do... but Tracey has gone through terrible medical problems now.. she's had almost all of her insides taken away..including her private parts due to cancer .. I won't go into detail... but she's even taken pictures of herself post OP .. and called it art.. I won't post the pics here, but if you want to see.. then it's on this link..

It's another bright sunny day! :D

Maybe I can shoehorn Mrs Oy out of the house and away frm her Christmas knitting duties again!

There's a Christmas Market at the local football stadium so that may do it!

there's a Christmas Market and Christmas fair in a nearby town.. but it's a very difficult town to drive in and out of, and to park, and litererally hundreds of thousands go to the christmas market. I would like to have gone but it's just to stressful to drive in..and try and find a parking space.... and it's forecast to rain this afternoon

@hollydolly

She is one hell of a gutsy woman! Thanks for posting the article.
 
Another lovely day in paradise,when I woke up at 5:30am looked out my bedrm window noticed we had more snow. I think it was more wind blown because last night it was a bit gusty
I got dressed, bundled up around 6:30,temp was a 'balmy' 21 went outside from our back door entrance. The sidewalks in our community garden had been salted/ shoveled ,so I walked back/forth a couple of times just to get some fresh air/exercise.
There is a travel ban in parts of the city, travel is not encouraged,there are idiots who feel the need to go anyways. The local paper{Bflo News} won't be delivered today,I have the digital copy,can read it on my laptop As I type this its beautiful,sunny, but cold. I'll probably go out again mid morning,go out the front door,sidewalks are shoveled. The rest of my day read my book,magazines
 
Not trying to be a complainer…..
Was all ready for a good nites’ sleep, settled in, then the restless leg syndrome started….and lasted…..and lasted.
Gave up, walked around, did some jigsaw puzzle, walked around more…..then tried to go to sleep, just after 4am.
Haven’t had it that bad for quite some time.
Will be dragging my butt today.
But….
There is more shovelling to do……sigh 😟😟😟. It’s only November 20……shovel….shovel.
I’m going to cave, and get the driveway cleared tomorrow…..yes, the wind blew everything back.
There is an advantage to having it cleared…..is that….they pull it all back to the street and pushes it in a pile on my yard far enough from the driveway, where it doesn’t cause sNOW banks.
When I shovel, obviously, when the wind blows the build upon each side of the driveway, causes the sNOw to build up and cause sNOw banks.

Mother Nature is going to make my last winter of shovelling a memorable one. 🙁🙁🙁.

My usual cleaning of course will get done…..couple loads of laundry…..and hopefully a POWER NAP. 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Just keep in your mind that next year you will not be doing this. You will be in your new place and can watch someone else take care of all those outside chores.

We went - it was rubbish. In and out in 15min lol.
 
It is 23 degrees here presently and snowing pretty hard. I was thinking I would have to walk out to the dumpster today but will probably not. Just tie up my garbage bag tightly until tomorrow. So working on filing my last pile of papers till the next one accumulates. After that I will see what I feel like doing. Coffee right now.

so often they are... when it's just a Chritmas market.. the one in St Albans that I was going to go to, takes up the whole town centre because it has side-shows etc but the parking is awful.. so really not worth the stress. if they took it an put it in a much more open area then it would make a big difference
