This has been a busy afternoon. I finally had a very productive day. I cleaned the guest bedroom and bathroom for the guests I have coming in Sunday afternoon. Got the hallway and entry way cleaned too.
Baked a double batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a batch of banana bread. I’m going to made a batch of Snickerdoodles and another batch of banana bread yet this evening.
I sat down to sew up some masks and discovered I had pinned them wrong last night. Pissed myself off! Had to unpin them and start over. I wasted an hour of time last night and an hour today. Jeez, I hate when I do something stupid like that.
Jim cleaned out the garage and washed up the dogs food and water bowls. The food containers were just plain nasty. When I am home I run them through the dishwasher once a month but they hadn’t been cleaned since last December. Yuck!
Had a fun night on the text hot line. I took two calls from young girls that just needed someone to listen to them for a bit. One of them didn’t want me to stop talking to her. We are to limit our calls to under one hour but I went over with her. Sometimes I just want to reach through the screen and wrap my arms around them and let them know everything is going to be OK. They live with such intensity these days. Maybe I did too and just don’t remember it.
Made a batch of ham salad this morning. Jim really likes it and it makes a good quick snack. Grilled hamburgers on our new grill for dinner tonight. They turned out perfectly. We had one ripe tomato from Jim’s garden in Stillwater that was delicious. I had forgotten what a home grown tomato tastes like.
Tomorrow I need to clean the living room, dining room and kitchen. The floors really need done. I have spot cleaned them since I have been home in June but haven’t moved all the furniture and given them a good once over. They desperately need cleaned. I also need to do our bedroom and bathroom floors.
May need to run to town to the grocery store tomorrow. I need to decide what else to fix with the pot roast and potatoes and carrots for Sunday evening and what dessert to fix and then check to see if I have on hand what I need.
Made my annual physical appointment and my mammogram appointment today. They are in mid August. I haven’t had a mammogram for three years and I promised my Endocrinologist I would have an annual physical from my regular doctor. He doesn’t give a very thorough exam so not sure it is worth the time but it checks a box.
We didn’t get out to get the mower fixed today. Still need to get that done so I can get the mowing finished before we leave next Wednesday. I also need to get the chicken coop cleaned out yet. It got too hot to work outside this afternoon.
I forgot to wear my smart watch to bed so don’t know if my heart rate went too low last night or not. My rate has ranged from 40 to 128 today. I am sure anxious to know if the heart monitor reads the same as what my watch shows. I was kinda expecting the doctor’s office would call me today to tell me the results of the Echo but I didn’t hear from anyone.
Felt good to move my body and get some things done today. I have been lazy lately and have not gotten much done. It feels good to have part of the main floor clean. It will feel even better when the other half gets done tomorrow. For some reason I feel better when my house is really clean.
Grateful for the work I got done today, grateful for a fun night on the hot line, and grateful I moved my body today.
