Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hooray for best days, and for Getting Stuff Done--that was a mighty task, JZ. Impressive!
I'm glad Ltc is feeling better.
Lugg.
This delights me. You know Lugg was Campion's manservant. Sounds sort of appropriate, other than the obvious lugging. I wonder if there's a similar company called "Schlep."
Hugs and loving thoughts to all. May you have best days!
Another big packing day. SIL and MIL coming to help. Stuff we have put off like the utility room and under the sink, both having all the toxic crap. Also another dreaded closet and the worst ever, junk drawer. I swear I am going to toss each and every key in there. I hate the number of keys I have held on to just in case! Also, random tiny parts that surely belong to something that I will regret tossing. Friend coming to take the cats tomorrow to visit with her until we find a permanent berth. BIL coming tomorrow to take everything but our bed to storage. Tuesday morning bball son coming to help DH take bed to storage.
I'll pack all my clothes and general stuff except putting aside in suitcases what I would bring on a 10 day vaca. I hope to find a boat next week, but there will have to be inspections and such so not sure on timing. In the meantime an extended stay type hotel. Still up in the air on that stuff.
Laura, so exciting and a lot of work! Go you, and I know all the pieces will be placed just as they needed to be for your marina life to start. Love following along!
We had a nice dinner date last night. Today I'm going to excavate the other three or four boxes of clothes in the closet and try to donate as much as possible. Not just DP'S stuff; I have some that can go, too.
Want to take a walk and also go to the gym for the first time in months, but I'll set how the rest goes first. Baby steps. Really, I should reverse the order of my plans, but I don't wanna.
I had a productive day yesterday and would like to get cleaning things done today.
empty dishwasher
roomba downstairs
wash dishes
change and wash bed linens
wash dog beds- in process
move some things to basement
vacuum stairs or 2nd floor
clean bathrooms - did all but sweep the floor upstairs
non-cleaning things:
knit- in process
watch at least 1 movie
lay out clothes for the week
listen to audiobook - in process
walk dogs x2 - walk #1 done
I should be able to combine things (if I get things off the floor upstairs I can roomba up there while showering, washing linens and dog beds can be happening while I am knitting and watching a movie and/or listening to audiobook) and get most of it done if I do not waste too much time online.
added things:
go to pet store
refill dog food container
I think DP has more clothes than I do now.
This morning I put away clean clothes, gathered up dirty clothes or suspected dirty clothes. Pulled out about 6 things to get rid of. Tidied up around my computer desk. Did my yoga routine
Need to take a rest because the bending over and standing up was making me light headed/dizzy. When I'm feeling better I'm going to sit on the floor and resume the Organizing of Craft Stuff. Sitting on the floor minimizes the chances of dizzy spells and I have room to spread out stuff.
Then later I'm going to work on a collage and find some recipes/make grocery list of some healthy meals/snacks for my Reduction of Sugar and Processed Foods plan. I also need to meditate and I'm currently working on sitting with good posture as part of the neuro's instructions.
Timelies all!
Other than washing sweaters, I've done nothing today. Fell asleep a few times in front of the computer. Ah, well...
Put on outside pants.
Fed and walked dogs.
Thought about doing some errands.
Yep, that’s about it.
Did nothing besides a long walk yesterday, but today took the dog to the park next to the soccer fields friends were playing at, and said hi to them, then to the grocery store, and then used my new pots and pants (thanks -t!) to make chili and cookie dough. Am waiting for cookie dough to cool before I cook some and bring it and the chili to a friend who just had a baby
I did the clothes excavation, but I did not gym. I had a full on physical fatigue episode, which is not surprising, all conditions considered. I think I've been mistaking physical fatigue for sleepy tired for the last couple of weeks. Not the same. Bit of denial, probably.
Of course, exercise will help with that, too. I get blood work on Monday to make sure my magnesium levels are OK. That is one supplement that I can't do without and have to triple dose, because I can't absorb it well enough anymore.
