What's on your agenda for today?

On my agenda today is to get some sleep; I've been awake now for 24 hours. I thought I would get in a nap yesterday afternoon, no luck then, no luck last night, so far no luck this morning. Thursday was the first and last time I get the knee injection, at least with the drug this new orthopedic doc used I want my other doctor back. I'm pretty ticked off at this point.

Well, I'm going to give it another try.
 

Driving out to Northwestern Illinois to pick up my poor car.... It's been fixed after the Deer accident.. Then back to Chicago to return my rental... and hopefully that episode is in the rear view mirror.
 
Gym day so I did my workout this morning. Did serious housework yesterday, so I'm just relaxing the rest of the day.
 

They're doing very noisy repair work outside my building, so I'm going out for a long walk in the gorgeous autumn weather.
 
This evening I will be going out to watch the annual Guy Carnival Procession in my town, this event first took place approx. 160 years ago.

The weather is perfect for the event.:)
 
Maybe AprilT finally got some sleep?

Don't know what I'll do today...just recuperate, I hope. Every time I think I'm feeling better, I start feeling worse. I hate being sick.
 
Driving 2 1/2 hours to attend a close friend`s 50th bday party. She was my kids` babysitter when they were little. She and my oldest daughter are still like sisters. We had just moved to a new house back in 1977 and she lived right behind us. Came over the day we moved in and said "Hi! I`m Sara and I`m 12 and I babysit. Do you have kids?" Boy,we used her to death over the years LOL. After the party,we`re going to drive halfway home,take a little detour,and meet my sister and her boyfriend/husband (they were married for 25 years,been divorced for ten but been dating for 5) for dinner cuz it`s been too darn long since we`ve seen them. Gonna be a long day-and supposed to rain like crazy-ugh.
 
Now I know why painters drink. Spent a couple of days washing my house down(exterior wood trim), scraping and doing some caulking. Today started painting, mainly just giving the bare wood a primer coat. Will do a complete coat over the next couple of days. But going up and down a ladder is wearing me out. Will be good to get this behind me. Next time, I'm hiring this done.

Time for a drink. :)
 
Packing; I leave the Northern Hemisphere tomorrow, for a wedding in NZ.

You deserve a medal! Youremind me of the story about the painter, who always kept thinning the paint to make it go further. In later life he became a preacher, and his favorite sermon was "Re-paint! Re-paint, and thin no more"!:)
 
Working on the last details of my Halloween get up. I've gone through so many face designs, finally settled on one. I just have to practice the face paint design one more time to make sure I have a good grip on the pattern.
 
Vivjen, eine gute Reise! How long are you going to stay in NZ?

I had coupons for $1 off pumpkin spice latte at Barnes & Nobles' Starbucks today so DD and I went over there. DGD had friends over, and they came along. I don't have a B&N membership, but DS does so I used his number and got enough discount between the coupons and the membership number that we all had coffee treats for less than $15. That was a cheap date!

And I finally potted the mums and violets that DD got for me a couple of weeks ago and pruned the orchid and peace lily and sprayed them with insecticidal soap so that they can be brought inside for the winter. It's time for them to start getting used to being indoors for a few months during the cooler winter weather.

That's my day so far. That's probably my day altogether, considering that it's already 4 pm and I go downhill after about 3. I'm gonna rest up now because I have a five-day work week coming up

Hope y'all had a nice, relaxing Sunday.
 
I am going to do housework as long as energy allows and then I am going to do a little cleaning at the church. And all the time wishing I had something that would hold my interest 15 minutes besides this forum. This forum seems to be my lifeline to the outside world, for now. So post often I don't care for the "boob tube" (TV). And don't ask me where that expressions comes from. Always has been used around here.Oh I enjoy Facebook, friends and family and also solitare Euchre.
 
Been to the gym already and having my lunch now. I'll do my dumbbells after my lunch is digested. Then I'm going to start getting my stuff sorted for our trip to Thailand. I'm prepared for my husband to make fun of me because it's just over 4 weeks before we go! I'm not a last minute person! ;)

Enjoy your trip Vivjen!
 
Just finished triming our Palm trees. Guy came to measure things to see what he needs to install A/C unit. Cut up a bunch of cardboard boxes to put out for recycling tonight.many things to do yet but will do a little each day.
 
Morning again. It's shaping up to be one of those weeks with five Mondays. Today's house is so big that sometimes I feel like I should leave a trail of cookie crumbs so that I can find my way out when I'm done!
