As I am starting this it is -6 degrees out there.
I am wearing leggings under sweat pants, an undershirt, a long sleeve t-shirt and a sweatshirt. Thick socks and winter house shoes.
The sun is shining, that seems to make it feel warmer in here...blinds and drapes are open, but the door remains shut, it's not very weather proof.
It looks like I am going to venture out tomorrow...I need some groceries and I may do some laundry. Might have some goodies in the mailbox, too. I send off for freebies all the time.
My workout plan for 2024 is to bend over and pick up all the cat toys that get strewn around here twice a day.
Wednesday...it was actually in the double digits, and above freezing for about an hour this afternoon. I ran to town to pick up some groceries and mail a package. After the groceries were put away I treated myself to a cuppa coffee, then gathered my laundry and walked up to the laundry room.
And...I am done, in and staying put, hopefully until next Wednesday. And...I am tired. I was going to make myself a good dinner of cube steak, mashed potato and green beans, but decided to save that for tomorrow. I had a pot pie for dinner.
Thursday - It feels so good to not have to go anywhere. Food in the house, laundry done. I feel secure. My fingers are struggling, though. I have worked them to the bone almost. I'd like to give them a couple days off, even typing hurts a little bit.
Today I am going to tackle my storage closet. It is a walk in, maybe 6' x 6'.
Friday
I did not tackle the storage closet, but I am today. I've lost a ball of denim that I have been building to make a rug on my loom. It's gotta be in there somewhere. .
Saturday
I did tackle the storage closet, and I did find my ball of denim. I have a lot of fabric. I also found some hand embroidery that my mom had done, in a bag I hadn't looked in for 20 years. Looks like I will be getting my sewing machine out here pretty soon. I gotta make those treasures into something for everyone to treasure. A quilt, a few lap blankets, pillows...I got a bit overwhelmed after finding them, I put them back in the box to think about for a bit...I don't even know how many there are, but there are a lot!
I also found a shelf in the area behind the closet, where the hot water heater is. I stashed the Christmas decor back there, and the Halloween / Fall decor as well.
I am hoping that my payday is this week. I'm getting a cat tree for my roomies.
Sunday
I was awakened at almost 6 am this morning...I put food in their bowls, turned on the coffee pot and got back in bed hoping I could catch at least a half hour more...7 minutes later my space was invaded again. Ok, I'm up.
We did our morning things a little earlier than normal, now they are napping. I do not nap.
And here we are it's already Thursday! I got tied up in knots this week waiting to see if my check was coming this week...hoping, and thankfully it was this week! Already placed a few orders.
Picking up a Walmart order tomorrow, hit a couple shops, see my son, then have coffee with my sister. I'm gonna fill my gas tank while I'm out, while I have moola and prices are "low."
I'll go ahead and publish this now, then get up and do something with this day.
Play Nice!
