The days are really running together badly. Have I eaten today? Have I showered? Have I taken care of the cats? Was that yesterday? My bedroom looks messy and I don’t really know why. There’s not really anything extra in it. It needs to be swept and the sheets changed and there are a few things that were once useful, but are now clutter and could go somewhere else. Two of those, though, are a kitchen chair (moved in here when I was still walking and having something to grab onto seemed like a good idea) and a walker, both of which should go to the basement, and guess where I can’t go.
Still, I should probably have someone come over and help me tidy up the parts of my own space I can’t get myself. It might dust a little of the depression away.
I would kill for some decent Chinese food. Veggie egg rolls are one of those things I look for pretty much every time I get a grocery order and they’re never available. None of the Chinese places in the area deliver.
I have the eye drops! Hooray! I got an email saying they were at Walgreen’s. But…but…they’re $160 unless mailed! I walked the 1.0 mile to Walgreen’s. “$19.95, please.” Mine is not to do or die. Mine is to say, “How lucky am I?”
I also walked to the mall for the first time in four months. I got a couple of things at Penney’s, which is still there despite bankruptcy, and a bottle of hooch at Total Wines, which, I’m pleased to announce, has an employee at the entrance who makes sure customers are masked. A liquor store is more health-conscious than a pharmacy. Who’d a thunk it?
Woo-hoo, Sunny!
Flyboy, that’s the first time I’ve seen architecture porn since I first learned of flying buttresses.
Swampy, the last thing I ever associated with you was lizard porn.
Heavy, heavy rain - like a cow peeing on a flat rock!
Sunny - huzzah!! And we have been hearing from Butters - I think right now she’s just dealing with the frazzlement of getting her hubby healthier, waiting for the next (final?) surgery. For some reason, Spidey has been avoiding us, tho I saw he’d posted in a few other threads. No clue what his deal is.
My bladder woke me at 1, and I went back to bed wondering if I could fall back to sleep. Next time I looked at the clock, it was after 5, so the answer was YES! At that point, I just got up, tended to the critters, and had some breakfast. I shall enjoy the quiet for a while. No clue what the day holds.
The Calvert Marine Museum is reopening for members only with reserved entry times. If Roxy would wear a mask, I’d take her, but she won’t, so I can’t. And she doesn’t seem to mind not going - I think she’s a little too young, and we can keep her occupied hereabouts. Plus she’s been able to go to a couple of playgrounds. I won’t go there alone, and FCD still can’t walk very far or for very long. Life will continue to be weird for a while longer.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 71 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 95 and N.O.S. for the day. The big plan of the day is to virtually deheathenate, followed by N.O.L. which shall consist of turkey boob, cornbread dressin’, green beans, squish casserole, and peach cobbler. There will, of course, be cranberry sauce and giblet gravy. I took the turkey boob outta da freezer on Thursday and got it all ready to bake last night. The dressin’ is a small pan I had made up and froze, so easy enough to thaw and bake. Sounds like hours and hours of cookin’ but the boob needs three hours to bake and the dressin’ about an hour, so not too bad. Just decided we needed a big Sunday N.O.L. today. There may also be some quality cee-mint pond time.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Wow, there are a lot of emojis on this site. But no Smacky the Facepalm Guy. I miss Smacky the Facepalm Guy. There are so many uses for him.
Went to the World of Wally this morning as soon as they opened because the cat litter situation is getting desperate. It was the emptiest it’s ever been. Well worth getting there at 7 a.m. not to have to fight the crowds.
Now I’m going to catch up on the chores I didn’t do yesterday because I was zombied. Is there a zombie emoji? There is!
Yay for SLEEEEEEP doesn’t it feel so good? Sundays we open later so I can sleep in a bit, too, and am enjoying some sloth time now before firing up for another day.
Somehow my tired ass got laundry done last night, and it stayed outside all night on the drying rack so it’s already half-dry. Sub optimal timing, but ce la vie. I didn’t want to take a chance that I’d sleep in SO late this morning that I wouldn’t have a chance to get it done at all.
Forget being out of underwear or socks … I was out of clean masks!
Beautiful morning out at the park. Lots of doggie friends showed up as well, so everybody got a good romp. My little green eyed pup was there, he is so sweet, and really starting to come out of his shell. He is usually a little quiet, but today he ran and played with the pack.
Both of mine are wiped out.
I’m taking the morning off again today. I am going to go over my taxes again, and probably go over them a few more times.
Doggio, that is what the website says but it isn’t necessarily true. Lots of different mortgages out there, you don’t always have to put 20% down, and there are programs out there for first time home buyers that can help you out. Like the county where my cousin lives gave her and her husband 10% to put down on their house. It was a grant, not a loan, never has to be paid back. The only requirement was that they had to live in the house for at least 7 years. And if you wanted to move up here, there are houses a lot less expensive than that one.
Yum, Thanksgiving Dinner in July, Swampy.
Besides going over and over and over my taxes again today. I may do some yard irk since it’s supposed to stay pretty nice outside. I have some rebudgeting to do, since the Infernal Revenue Service is going to take a huge chunk of my cash. There goes a few things I wanted to have done around the house. I’ll still get the deck steps repaired, the pavers placed under the trash can, and the front gate replaced. Then I’ll reassess my options from there. I’ll probably head out to the dog park again this afternoon. I need to put in a grocery order too, I think we can hold out until Toosday to pick them up.
Yesterday I made the pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce to go with Swampy’s turkey. Anything in the freezer which has a date of 2019 or earlier has got to get eaten and yesterday was a good day for pie. I also put 2 lumps of pie dough in the freezer, plus 2 more egg whites. Next weekend is Angel food cake, but in a loaf pan. Hope it comes out well.
This morning I opened up a box of manila folders and found a missing picture. However the wooden frame is moldy, so it’s currently sitting in the sun in the hope that might help.
The box for the manila folders has gone in the trash, but the manila folders themselves seem to be stink free, so I kept them.
Have to buy some ring binders to put papers in, and then I can finish the rearrangement of my office. I’ve been working from home since March and just now rearranged it so I can use ⅔ of desk, instead of ⅓.
And after almost 20 years of living here, we learned that the door bell has two settings, LOUD and not-so-loud. It is now set to not-so-loud, so I don’t jump every time the post rings twice.
I was going to Wally World to buy some new boots yesterday, but I decided that since it was 3pm on Saturday afternoon and I was sober, I should postpone the trip till Monday.
Flyboy, , you should see a Doctor for that.
Huzzah sunny!
“Do not ask or whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.”
Also curling and hockey emojis!
Morning all. Went out and got a triple-scoop Butter Pecan Waffle Cone last evening and that made me so mellow I haven’t felt like posting before this. of course, since Murphy is always about, there are thunderstorms above my head right now and the lawn did not get mowed as planned. Still planning to eat out (either Lonestar or Texas Roadhouse) but will need to find the umbrella…
Sunny, good news!!
nellie, hope the eye drops work.
All y’all take care, have a good Sunday, and eat more ice cream (it does help).
, you should see a Doctor for that.
