Off work today! 
Even a day off work with house cleaning chores is better than a day at work.
  • Breakfast routine, followed by the treadmill and litter boxes
  • Work on some laundry; I may change the bed sheets this morning
  • Vacuum, dust, wipe down kitchen and bathroom (I didn't vacuum last night, since I realized I was not going to work this morning)
  • Appliance guru coming in this afternoon to look at the oven
  • Rick is taking The Beast to the vet this afternoon
  • Depending on when the appliance guru leaves this afternoon, I may go outside and start mowing the yard (more I do today, less I have to mow tomorrow)

  • Cleaned out the litterboxes (Rick cleaned out the dishwasher this morning so I could hit the treadmill)
  • Working outside today as the weather is to be gorgeous
And that will be it

  • Did one load of laundry this morning; it's in the dryer
  • We've been working on burning down the garden and will continue that today. We were so busy with other stuff that the garden is completely neglected. We have a huge pile of brush and we're pulling weeds and burning the whole thing. After that's done, we'll go ahead and till, although I don't think we're going to plant anything at this late date....other than some rye grass.

I'm on my second day with the Headache from Hades again. Last week or whenever that was, it was on my right side at my eye. This time, it's on my left side at my eye. I would kill for two Advil tablets....just two! Better yet, two Execdrin for Migraine tablets would work.
  • Normal breakfast routine with the furkids: fed the kids, Rick emptied the dishwasher so I could hit the treadmill for 1.5 miles, then I came back up to scoop the litter boxes, make the bed, pack my lunch, grab a shower and come into work.
  • I have physical therapy this morning
  • Grab a few groceries tonight
  • Tonight is an exercise night and I think I'll head to the Bowflex in the basement instead of using the dumbbells in the bedroom. Cooler in the basement and maybe I can get Rick to join me.

Headache seems to be better this morning.
  • Normal breakfast routine, with 1.75 miles on the treadmill, scooped the boxes (geez, Tabby dug to China this morning in one of the boxes and there was litter all over the computer room floor), made the bed, etc.
  • I have a planning commission meeting after work today. Going to be a long one as I have some plans to discuss and problems for both of them.
  • Must do my PT stretches tonight
  • Pool needs to be vacuumed, so I'll get that done as soon as I get home. I may spend some time in the pool tonight as it's really hot around here.

not much to do here today -- i spent 3-4 more hours on my budget yesterday, along with placing some cat food/items orders. the budget is re-organized the way i want it to be now. so for today...

already done:   our jaspurr took his antibiotic pill, we've all had our breakfasts, washed the dishes, moved a couple jars of raw cat food to the fridge to thaw, got a bill ready to be paid, called our vet's and left an update on how jaspurr is doing after his dental work for our primary vet, moved a container of chili to the fridge to thaw, also got a call from wegmans that the freezer safe pint canning jars they ordered for me are at the store/ready for pick up

still to do:  scoop the litter boxes -- will do later this afternoon, and give our jaspurr his evening antibiotic pill

  • Run down to Target to pick up Rick's med prescription
  • Might hit the mall, but I'm not sure. A store has underwear on sale and I'd like to look around.
  • Trash night, so clean out the litter boxes
  • Two small loads of laundry (if I really get lazy, I could probably throw both loads together as there's nothing really really dark in the colored load)
  • It's an exercise night tonight and I need to do my stretches (didn't get them done this morning)

Today is an 'off' day from the gym, so I "plan" on dong some stuff..

I really have to dust and vacuum. 

A couple loads of laundry. 

Choice of either: completely camp and clean litter boxes or just tidy up the extra bathroom they are in. 

I also have some shopping to do..Target and another store for underwear...and of course, to the bank...

Rationalizing, I can do some things today, some things Friday...Saturday and Sunday are out.. busy days for me. 

I am finding out that I am getting really sleepy very early at night. Probably because I am so busy during the day; running around..

  • Normal morning stuff: breakfast for the kids, 2 miles on the treadmill, litter box scooping, make the bed, grab a shower, come to work.
  • I have PT at 8:30 this morning....they're thinking this might be my last session
  • Quick vacuum about the house tonight
  • Depending on the weather, maybe some outside work tonight; the weather-weenies are calling for showers pretty much throughout the day and it was pouring when I drove into work this morning.

Artie vomited a bit of clear foamy stuff after I put the stuff away...


He was following me around earlier and talking to me. I thought he missed me, and wanted fresher food. poor baby..

  • Normal breakfast routine. Rick and I are back in our (treadmill) routine now. I feed the cats while he takes Jackie out. When they come back in, he unloads the dishwasher, so I can go down to the basement and hit the treadmill. He also scooped the boxes this morning. He took a vacation day to get some things done around the house today.
  • Some outside work tonight....I may try to mow grass
  • It's an exercise night

Our basement looks so different! Rick took a truck load of stuff to the landfill yesterday. It's hard for us to hit the landfill because we work during the week, but he was off yesterday. We're going to load up my car with more cookbooks to take to the library on Monday....I have three more containers of cookbooks that I can get rid of. We'd like to get the basement completely cleaned out and then (maybe!) we can start working down there again. We've been side-tracked now for a good year or so with doing the basement over. Rick says he needs to start exercising again, so we cleaned off the cookbooks off the weight bench. He does weights, I do the Bowflex.
  • Breakfast stuff with the cats and dog this morning. I still need to scoop boxes and make the bed.
  • Quick vacuum, dust, wipe down the kitchen and bathroom
  • Errands: banking, Target, etc.
  • Didn't get the yard mowed last night, so that's on my list for this afternoon

  • Three loads of laundry this morning, including bed sheets
  • Scoop the boxes
  • Work on the grocery list (actually, it's pretty much done, just a few add-ons)
  • Work outside this afternoon for a while
  • Manicure tonight. I have a nail that has a pretty good snag and I'm not sure I can save it.

Went to early Mass at Church

Regular morning things...

sitting on butt reading and then on web. 

Got trash together, to dump out later.

I will be leaving in a couple of hours to set up for the Childrens Recital.

Serving and then helping to break down the Hall...

Home to collapse...

I made a large salad for supper yesterday. I have leftovers. I just have to add some more tomatoes, feta, and croutons to it.

  • Did my stretches this morning, then got out of bed. Fed the cats, hit the treadmill, then came back up and scooped the boxes and made the bed. Grabbed a quick shower and came to work. I managed to bring some bills that I was supposed to throw into the local mail box in town, but I didn't remember to do that until I hit the parking lot at work. I'll either run into town over lunch or hope that I can remember to mail them out tomorrow on my way to work. 
  • Groceries tonight
  • It's an exercise night

Made a salad for supper

Went to the gym--not into exercising today, but did it.

Went up to Trader Joes

home....

just had an apple. About to jump in the shower. 

Extremely tired today. Perhaps, because I set up, help serve, and cleaned up the hall yesterday?

I could take a nap..
