Work for the afternoon - walked there and back.

Load of laundry (again).  Still have to go get it out of the machine and hang it up to dry. 

Play with Mouse.  Found a mouse toy he likes this morning (it had been hiding somewhere for a week or two) and he's been hunting it down since I got home.  It's got an elastic tail with a pom pom on the end which he loves because it tends to pull away from him when he catches it.

I don't know. I really don't know. I'd like to try to keep busy today.
  • I scooped this morning after giving the kids their breakfast.
  • It's supposed to start showering this morning, followed by a steady rain most of the afternoon. I guess I should get off my duff and walk up to the garden to see about peppers and lima beans before the rain starts in.
  • The basement needs some cleaning, but I was going to wait til dear Richard leaves next week for that. We'll see how things go.
ETA: Got the garden picked, but got caught in the rain getting the limas. No, I didn't melt. But it's cold outside, even with sweats on. Damp and chilly. Got the beans and the peppers in the freezer and am drinking my second cup of coffee.

Petsmart.  Nice and early before the dog adoptions.

Do cat rooms.

Go out later to grab coffee.  If it thunders this plan will change as dog can not be left crated while thundering(well can be...but not a good outcome)

  • got the wood stove going again -- chilly enough here that i've had it going since late last night, just using small/thin pieces of wood one at a time
  • gave snick her breakfast and pills, then made mine
  • washed the dishes, scooped the litter boxes, bundled up the trash (it's raining here, so will wait until it stops to run out the trash)
  • recuperate from yesterdays busy day...maybe a nap later this afternoon

  • Getting ready to take my second load of laundry to the basement
  • Changed the bed sheets this morning and put flannel sheets on the bed. I'm debating if I want to put the electric blanket on the bed, too. It was 46 degrees here this morning and that's way too cold for me without something.
  • A quick vacuum and dust throughout the house. Clean the bathroom, scoop the boxes, all that good stuff.
Yesterday, after getting the beans and peppers into the freezer, I did nothing else! All day long. I lounged. In fact, in the afternoon, I went to bed with my Nook and the cats and I fell asleep and took a 2-hour nap while watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan on SyFy. It was rainy and damp and chilly and a good day to lounge. I don't lounge very often and it felt good. Even with my nap in the afternoon, I was still in bed and sound asleep last night by 11:30. Slept straight thru until 5:00 this morning when Boo started yelling for breakfast.

1. Doing laundry right now.

2. Finish "Gravesly" the English butler life-sized Halloween prop, which I started building yesterday.  The cats will be grateful, as he freaks them out! when they come downstairs!

3. Make a Crock-Pot of beef-vegetable soup, as the weather has turned Autumnal here. I think it would be great for dinner tonight, with crusty rolls.

Rick got home around 1:30 this morning, so we're both a little pooped (I tried to stay awake for him, but couldn't). He was still in bed when I left. He's going to take a 1/ 2-day today and go into work at lunch time. He leaves again this coming Saturday morning, this time for Portland.
  • Must grab some cat supplies; we're down to 7 cans of cat food in the pantry and we can't let the kibblekrunchers starve now, can we? 
  • A couple loads of laundry tonight, pretty much whatever Rick brought home from Vegas
  • Scoop the litter boxes

Re-organised my sitting room after finally getting rid of my old sofa and a spare arm chair that wasn't very comfy.  2 weeks with furniture over load was way too long or me.

A load of laundry done and hung up to dry.

Went out to meet a friend at a local ice cream parlour and got treated to a mint chocolate ice cream sundae. 
   It was gooooood.

Up and out early to meet another friend for 'morning coffee' which was actually a couple of pots of tea at a mall close to her mum's house.

Had a roof top aerial fitted for my TV as the last stage in the redecoration of my sitting room. 


Found out I didn't have an aerial cable to connect my new roof top aerial to the TV 
  Went out and bought new aerial cable and now watching TV...

  • Over lunch today, walk out to the natural foods store for cashews for Dear Richard. If I have time, I'd like to stop at the farmers market for some garlic, too, but I don't know if I can swing both of them in an hour. The store is about a mile away and the market is right on my way back to work.
  • Bake snickerdoodles tonight for Dear Richard (when he saw me making the cookie dough last night, he gave me a hug; that man loves his snickerdoodles)
  • Trash night
