What's on your agenda for today?

No, I'm still feeling under the weather, but, whenever I go out, I make a complete mess, clothing everywhere, so I have to rehang, plus I have some items that need putting away from the market that I picked up yesterday, like dividing meat into sections to be frozen that sort of thing. It's times like this it would be nice to be rich, so I could just have someone else do it all.. :D I can't bare to watch the movie in a room with clothing and bags still thrown across the roam. My bigger mirror is between the bedroom and the tv room, so, I'm constantly back and forth when trying on outfits. I need a better system, but then I've been saying that for years. If I had my old walk in closet it wouldn't be an issue, but this place has the one not so large closet, therefore I can't see the lay of the land when it comes to my clothing to make up my mind what I want to wear sometimes, hence the process of throwing items across the room, onto the sofa, shoes all over the place, while trying on different outfits in in disorganized manner onto the sofa. Really not good and used to have a system when I was going to a 9-5, but somehow that system has gone to the wayside now. Sigh. I'm going to work on it, because, this is really a big annoyance having to pick up the pieces after, especially when I'm not exactly feeling my best, but to sit and look at htis mess and try to relax and watch a movie in it just won't happen.
 
Here's Gramma's take: It takes less time to do it once than it does to do it over! Keep telling yourself that. Don't like what you just tried on? Hang it back up before you try the next outfit on (after all, you have to go back to the closet to get the next outfit anyway). Don't want to go back and put the groceries away? Only set them down once to unpack, then put them away...including dividing up the meat for the freezer.

Darned kids. Do I have to tell you EVERYTHING? LOL (And don't slam the screen door!)

LOL! Yes mommy dearest. :playful: Seriously though, I've tried that, my brain just won't let it happen, it go like that for a while and I'm right back at the madness, but, I'll keep working on it, this battle isn't over just yet. I'm just hoping for a bigger closet next move. But really, I can't explain, but, my energy runs too low after going to the supermarket, I can barely get the groceries into the fridge without falling over. Iron deficiencies and all that jazz.

Anyway, like I said pretty much finished the livingroom, have a pot of chicken soup cooking up about to pop Maleficent into the DVD and call it a day. OOPS! Forgot to put the chicken into the pot, hope the water didn't boil out. LOL brb.
 
For heaven's sake, woman! You can't make chicken soup without the chicken.

Dark green leafy veggies, dried apricots, mushrooms, dried beans, broccoli...there have to be some among those that you like...are all iron-rich. We need to build you up and give you some oomph.

As Madonna sings or is Lady GaGa, I was born this way, I love dark green leafy veggies eat plenty, have always had to add supplements to compensate no matter. Sigh. I go through several bags of kale, spinach, collards, broccoli and other greens every week. I have to get my blood tested on a regular bases and used to also have to get b-12 shots, but the body seems to be doing better on the b-12, but still have to take the d and iron supplements and don't even bother talking about getting more sun, I'm a bit of a beach bum at times. Some black people tend to have these deficiencies, sometimes it's just worst than other days and plus all the running around hasn't helped matters, but, not a big deal really, I just have to remember to take the dang pills as instructed on a daily basis, but, somedays, I forget though just the past week I was instructed to not forget. Oh well. Such is life.

Anyway, finished watching Maleficent and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to especially when Maleficent told the king she really enjoys when he begs, that was so fun. Wasn't to keen on the lovely dovey stuff though, but, over all enjoyed the movie. Next up Neighbors and I don't have high hopes for it almost reluctant about watching it, but, we'll maybe I'll end up LOL.

Thank you for the concern, I mean that.
 
Well, okay then. Maybe tattoo "take your meds" backwards on your forehead so that when you use the mirror to put on your makeup or comb your hair, you'll be reminded:)

It's back to the routine today. Thank heaven because the days were all mixed up. No more of that until we have another Monday holiday. Good. I need my routine!
 
I have a list of things to do but it is cold outside baby might just stay in the house should get oil changed in car and truck, need to pick up dry cleaning.....still cold out baby.....need to bring in some wood but it is cold out baby, wait without wood it will be cold inside so if I am out bring in wood might just as well get the oil changed....three days before back to the hardware....am down to two days a week not so bad.....did I mention it was cold outside
 
Yes. I believe you mentioned that it's cold outside, ronaldj! Maybe because it's winter? With a little luck, El Nino will kick in...
 
Back to routine, the holidays are officially over. But what does one do when you don't have a set routine :confused:

Guess I go back to doing "come what may"

Might dig out the sewing machine today. Any suggestions for some artsy crafty project?
 
The last two days, the wife and I have been making multiple trips to bathroom and it hasn't been a pleasant experience.:mad:
Today, we seem to be on the mend so will get out of house and do something for sure. I don't think my car has ever set idle for two days in a row like this.
 
No suggestions here Lee..I'm the worlds' worst crafter.

I don't go back to work until Thursday , and tbh with you, altho' I've managed to get quite a lot achieved at home this past 2 weeks , I was just thinking this morning what i would do to fill my time if I had no job..

Of course there's always volunterring, but sometimes you just wanna stay indoors and do stuff to pass the time especially in the winter, and I'm so rubbish and making things...still I might have a long time before I retire yet..
 
Today......laundry and cleaning out my File Storage Box. Putting all 2014 files in another area.

As far as keeping busy during retirement days, I do a good enough job at home and running errands. As far as my wife goes, she can get bored fairly fast at home, depending on the weather. We are much more active (outdoors) during the Spring/Summer months than right now.
 
Just going to take it easy, still not feeling well, so, lots of soup and rest. yesterday I did watch that Neighbors" movie, gosh I'm so glad I hadn't paid to see it at the theater or as a rental. Seth Rogen just needs to come out of the close already instead of living it in his films, it's getting old. Just do it and maybe he will be able to move on to a more mature comedy genre, his films just aren't funny anymore.

Anyhoo, hope you all have a lovely day, I don't know why I keep thinking today is Sunday, it's been like this for the past weeks, I'm sure it's because of the holidays that just passed.
 
Drinking tea trying to get going - need to make some appointments, do some laundry and a few inside chores - it's very cold outside so I hope not to have to go out. Looks like the holidays are over and the reality of everyday life is setting in.

Let me just say... picture Haight-Asbury or Kathmandu in the late '60's, early '70's. It's a hippy circus over there, 21st century. Last night at about 10 p.m., somebody drove in a huge school bus and parked it in front of their house (we live in a small t-shaped court and nobody is supposed to park on the street, never less a school bus. Code Enforcement has been there, the neighborhood management people have been there. The neo-hippies claim they can't move it because "nobody there knows how to drive the bus". WTF? Did it get there on its own? I have a feeling they were planning to move some of what seems like 20 "roommates" into it..... Ah, well....
 
Luv it jujube, cheap entertainment and you don't have to buy a movie ticket. But the noise is probably bad eh?

Here's my story, a new neighbor moved in next to crazy cat buggy lady. He seems ok or as ok as anyone can be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, he's an Afghanistan Vet. He bought a fixer upper and she expects fixing up to come without noise like a skill saw should have a muffler on it or something.

Anyhow, she called the cops on him for various untrue crap such as he was dealing drugs out of the house and people were coming and going every 10 minutes. Not true, I live right across the street and see what goes on being the nosey type. When that resulted in Children's Aid questioning his kids he hit the roof rightfully so and decided to play music his choices leaning toward Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath.

So the cops come again for that several times. Then she decides to call the humane society cause he is abusing his dog. Again untrue but another investigation. For this he retaliates by mooning her, I saw that one, he does have a nice butt. Then she went out to buy a karate uniform and parade in front of his place in it....her means of intimadating a war vet. I can only shake my head.

And on and on it went back and forth till the cops told both that the next unfounded call they had to make would result in someone being charged.

Her next tactic....she can't call the cops anymore so she calls the fire department on him for a small fire. It is allowed here as long as it is contained. Again unfounded.

Winter now so both are indoors.....can't wait till spring and the fun begins again.
 
Gawd Lee as a bystander it must make for an amusing past-time seeing that all going on...but honestly crazy cat lady better watch out if the Vet is suffering from PTSD ..he might just snap...*yikes*
 
Yikes is right Holly, I have talked to him and watched his controlled pace, you can see the training and I know he is trying to avoid conflict. But a person in his position can only be pushed so far....I'm staying on his good side.
 
I'm not supposed to start back to work until Thursday, just had a call from the AM to ask if I'd start back tomorrow instead because the place is falling apart at the seams...told her no. For years I've gone in there on my days off to get those imbeciles out of the pooh and I get no thanks for it...so No it is this time..fist time I've ever refused, and I feel guilty now...jeez what am I like?
