It's been different today, I tried on purpose to change the way I do things, and put off somethings, and accomplished what I usually let slide.
It's kind of nice to see some of the paintings and pictures up on the walls now, and I put away some clutter so as not to distact from the beauty of the pictures.
I cleaned up the bathroom a few days earlier than usual, and decided to mix my whole milk with powdred milk to make it stretch further. I also have got the makings for a lovely garden salad ready to be tossed, and will take the time to do that along with making some hotdish I haven't made for ages.
The job that is daunting is the filing cabinet, I have new folders, new files, and it all needs to be put together and organized. I don't enjoy that very much, however love having organization in my record keeping, soooooooo guess tomorrow is the day for that, along with two small loads of laundry and maybe some baking.
I've gotten myself ( yesterday) a new microwave. It's a "high-end" one, and is so neat! No more having only half of the popcorn popped, no more needing the water hot before I put it in the microwave! The door closes quietly and it has quiet beeping when the food is done, versus the loud whine the old one had. The reason it's higher priced is that it's a microwave with grilling and browning capabilities. That'll be nice for cooking food on these hot days, without using my oven!
Having two fans now is really helping with keeping the apt. cool. The air-conditioner is about 15-30 years old, so just one fan couldn't circulate the air enough to get the bedroom cool too. Now I can get to sleep at night, before it was so hot that I felt like a sponge that was leaking it's water!
I have yet to read enough of the booklet about my new camera, so haven't been able to get pix posted that I've taken with the digital beast. I really love the clarity of the pictures, even though one can really see how old I"ve gotten these last few years!
I took a few last night, of the sunset. Have some of Chanel, and a couple of me. Guess that's it for now.
It's been taxing these past 6-7 months. More so than I anticipated. Next week the foot doctor is making a special brace for my left foot. Since I lose my balance so often I'm going to ask him for a cane too. I've come soooo close to falling again, numerous close calls. Two falls in two weeks is a lot!
The neighbor lady continues to bring me up fresh vegies from my garden, and they sure taste better than store bought!
HOpefully next week i can get back out there again and partake of the work involved, I sure miss that.
Friday is going to be my special day. There's oldies but goodies on Turner Classic Movie channel, Vincent Price movies from the late 50's to the mid 60's. It's going to be a day of no housework, no errands, just enjoyment. I'm unplugging the phone, and am gonna do as I darn well please all day!
Well I've rambled on long enough, time to start supper, watch the local evening news, and maybe accomplish one more chore today.
Later :)
