What's on your agenda for today?

Its chilly here too....my thermostat goes from heat to cool..cool to heat, back and forth.

Today is laundry day, I'll try to get in an hour or two outside when it warms up, its close to time to get the plants back on the patio.....thats my exciting day.
 

Sunny here but with some cloud..and quite warm.

I had my dressings taken off this morning..and my back is feeling sore like there's inflammation.. Yesterday I had to take PK's and muscle relaxants but today I'm trying my best not to take any.

I'm debating whether to go shopping or leave it for another day..not heavy lifting but just to gather a few bits and most of all relieve some of the Cabin fever.

Might , might not...it will mean driving and that's a little bit of a concern for me just 4 days after the Procedure.. but honestly I could screeeeam at being trapped in the house all this week.. :(
 
Trying to organize my new project; I've taken up a new hobby, crafting recycling old paper and fabrics. I'm making a mess, but, I'll have it under control soon. My new hobby has been keeping me really busy, though, I'm quite enjoying it for now, till I get bored and need to take up something else. I remember when I took up patio gardening, that took up a pretty penny, I spent way more than reaped as far as growing any veggies, fruit or flora, but it was fun till till I realized the only thing that was going to grow was going to be good at growing was the basil. At least with this new hobby, I have minimal cost, I have plenty of supplies from past sewing projects laying around and all the free paper and fabrics of which I was planning to dispose of at some point anyway. So I'm set on paper for months on end, except I may need some card stock at some point oh and I might pick up a hot glue gun. :D Any suggestions on inexpensive glue guns, I would appreciate any input so please chime in on that. :)

I will post a couple of the projects I'm trying in the home section later.

Hope you all have a great day and weekend.
 
Passed on going out to the other house this weekend.. Snowy and cold here and might as well be at this house... where I can at least go out to shop for a new brown leather coat..

Oh... and I guess the buyers walked. No word on the counter offer.. SO.... on to the next buyer. No way will I walk away with a check for LESS than what I went in with. Thankfully, while I really want to sell, I'm not under a huge pressure to do so.
 
QS, that's a shame it fell through. But if you aren't in any hurry you might as well wait and get the money you want.

Holly, don't overdo it too soon!

April, yes post some photos of your projects.
 
Finish Up Income Taxes-----take daughter to lunch at Antonio's----take a 45 min nap---go for a swim late afternoon ----watch Netflix this evening----lite dinner
 
Just returned home from Charlotte NC late afternoon yesterday. Unpacked, caught up with phone messages. Got up early (for me) and drove to Auburn for a luncheon with some of my high school friends. Am in my recliner for the night.

You are a busy lady April, Don't know what you have in the way of Cheap as Chips stores, I have seen hot glue guns with plenty of extra glue sticks in the C.A.C for half the price of large fabric/ craft shops
I have plenty of jobs that need attending to in the sewing room ( spare bedroom) but it's hard having the house on the market to make mess then having to clean up right after . I'm not a crafty lady but I want to make fabric liners for large wicker type baskets I have on shelfs in walk in robe, the fabric is black suede type fsbric and will leave bits everywhere when I start using the over locker Oh well all too much cleaning
Have a great day

Kadee, thank you for the suggestion on the glue gun, I'll look into it. :)

I was never really all that crafty, at least not sewing and the home domestic things, till later in life, but more so, I had to really get into when I worked with children and had to come up and implement various artsy programs, thought I left that stuff behind, but, I started watching videos on youtube and I just got hooked. Problem now is trying keep organized, so I can understand you not wanting to leave a trail of bits and pieces of your work around only to have to rush to clean it up for a showing or just having to clean it all up period. I'm looking around now and wondering what happened to my little organization plan, I pulled out boxes to put stuff in and now all I did was create more places to misplace items. Well tomorrow is another day to try to better organize it all. So far, all I've done is make a huge mess. LOL! Still it was an enjoyable time while I was working on the crafty projects. :D

Hope you had a lovely day.
 
Tomorrow we're taking the boat back to the lake and put it in the slip so it's ready for summer. Then we'll drop the trailer off at our lake house, and drive down to Woodward Iowa-we have some friends there that we'll spend the night with. There's also a ballroom near Woodward (Lake Robbins Ballroom) and we'll all go dancing tomorrow evening.
 
Foggy, windy, rainy day. Staying inside. Housework. Finishing the thriller I'm reading and deciding on the next book. I've very ready for nice weather and seeing all the sailboats in front of the house, and of course more flowers blooming.

Tonight we put our clocks forward.
 
Morning all...started off a bit dreich this morning..but it's trying it's best to be sunny now, although it's not supposed to last we're due to get gale force winds and torrential rain by tomorrow.

I decided ultimately to go out yesterday it was so sunny I couldn't stay in another minute, so I drove to the next town and did a little bit of ''gentle' shopping, walking carefully around with the trolley in the supermarket giving everyone a wide berth in case they bumped into me... I was only out for 2 hours, and much as I detest grocery shopping it was just lovely to be driving back in the sun.

Won't be going anywhere at all today, just got to rest up again..

Yes good reminder Annie, must remember about the clocks I totally forgot last Autumn


April, I have never ever been a crafty type of person, it's just not how my brain works . I've tried several projects over the years and apart from my total lack of imagination, and ability, my enemy is patience, I just don't have any..but I would love to be able to get out a sewing machine and make beautiful things..but I can't. I was clearly just put on this earth to leave everything creative to other people and live my life as a fairy princess... :lol1:
 
Fairy Princess, anything you were late for last autumn, like work?

I'm not a crafty person either. Hate sewing. The only thing I liked along those lines is I used to do crewel embroidery.

Going to be a very early morning for me on Monday. Leaving the house 40 minutes earlier than normal - 7:20 - so DH can catch the ferry and I'll go to the gym, plus the clock going forward. Hmm.... do I really want to do this?
 
LOL @ fairy princess Annie... :D..no fortunately I wasn't late for anything last Autumn...and this morning not only did I have your reminder but my daughter whatsapped to remind me too.. ;)

With regards crafts ..the closest I ever came to it was restoring furniture. we were soo broke when I was first married to my ex , and couldn't afford to buy anything for the house, so way back in the late 70's early 80's I'd get hold of something from the village second hand store..and strip the whole thing down and revarnish or paint it..I am the daughter of a chippy, so I absolutely know my way around a hammer, nails and a paint brush...but when it came to making the soft furnishings even the cushions for the renovated chairs...arrggggh...useless!! :crying:

It's not changed all these years later..I still have to look on youtube to find how to make my curtains hang beautifully, and I still don't get it quite right...LOL

BTW offset your early Monday morning by getting up an hour early on Sunday, then going to be an hour early on Sunday night.. :D
 
Good morning. I slept the sleep of the innocent last night and didn't even wake up when the coffee started. Tucker, my perfectly good cat, must have decided that I needed to sleep because he didn't wake me up, either. Or maybe I just didn't hear him howling for his breakfast.

Nothing at all on my agenda today, although it's probably well past time to clean up around here.
 
Agree on Whole Foods. I always go to one when we visit family in Michigan. $$$$ We have one now in a posh area of Glasgow but I don't go as it's not a convenient location for us.
 
My canyon is filled with fog this morning. It will probably burn off soon as they've predicted a very hot weekend. But it's nice to wake up to. Today I'm going with my S.O. to help select flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, etc. for his new condo. I hope he will accept my "guidance". Wish me luck!
 
I picked up some sushi grade Tuna and black and white sesame seeds to make sesame seered tuna steaks..soy/ginger dipping sauce. Some cheese, some salmon spread. whole wheat wafers to spread it on... and two bottles of wine that we have never tried.. $90

We ate lunch out.. a dozen oysters each and some lobster bisque soup. yumm.
 
Having a fish-y spell, QS? LOL

AprilT, what happened to the pictures that you said you'd post in the Home section? I wanna see what you're doing with fabric scraps and paper.

Yeah righto, I said I was going to post some videos of projects I was attempting. I have to make all the pieces of at least one of the half a dozen projects I've started and stopped before I have enough together of one project to post a pic. I'll go over and start a thread and show what I'm working on in the video form and if I ever complete any of them, I'll show the work, I could show one of the giant flowers, I made an attempt at, but, I wouldn't want you all to break a side stitch. :) :D I get a kick out of looking at that thing for sure, looks like some of my past gardening projects.

I'll get on it. I might post a pic of that flower if you promise not to laugh. BRB, going to start that thread. :eek:nthego:
 
I have been a little slow getting up and going this morning, out dancing in Adelaide last night ( 300 km return trip from home) crawled into bed at 12.30 Am after traveling home.Plan on going into our small town 4 km away to buy Sunday paper, and may drop into library to update my iPad operating system, which takes forever on my prepaid system I use at home.
Planning on only making a a easy tea ( dinner) making pizza using pitta bread,will consist mainly of roasted veg with a little ham/ bacon for taste I use my home made tomato chutney for the sauce to spread on base before adding toppings..
