The day has been a little overcast at times, but it's 65 degrees so I won't complain. I went to get a few birthday cards at Target, and also dropped by the library where I checked out four books on quilting. Target could have been a disaster. I was parking the shopping cart and ready to carry my purchases out with me when I heard someone calling "Ma'am". It was the cashier running to give me my wallet, which I left on the counter.
I came home to eat a bowl of the soup I made yesterday, and packed about 4 big servings away in the freezer. I'll have to say it's pretty good, but if I continue a daily diet of it I will quickly get tired of it.
I am so frustrated with the state of my house. I clean it up and in two days everything is covered with paper - mail, magazines, things I want to save, etc. The mail is pretty easy to dispose of, but there is always something I save. No, the "neat" contraption that scans and saves copies is not for me, and thinking about it makes my head spin. I would love to have room for a nice file cabinet or two, and place items in manila folders in the old fashioned way.
I had a great system going when I lived in Asheville, and have never duplicated it. When a folder began to get full I would go through it to see if I could throw something out. Worked fine and I could put my hand on anything in a matter of a minute or so. I miss my Asheville house to this day. For some reason it rarely looked messy, crowded, or dusty. I will always miss it.
NOTE: Since I published the blog today I found a plastic tub that I used for filing my important papers when I moved into my 5th wheel. I cleaned it up and will do my best to gather all the paperwork in every room and either figure out a folder to file it in or to shred it!
I'm hoping to go to the gym this evening. I'm walking on the days I don't work out and hope I can keep it up and increase the mileage. My arms and shoulders are looking good (and muscular). (Note: I'm fixin' to challenge Billy Bob to an arm rasslin' contest!)
What I would like to do is walk along the American River and carry a full backpack while I'm walking, just to get in shape - in case the opportunity ever comes up to hit the trail.
- We Finaly Got Rain!
Probably not much rainfall, but what we got is sure welcome. The temps won't get out of the upper 50's today and I'm chilled, but when I go out in a few minutes I will be able to wear a new rain jacket I bought. It is warm even...
- Rain, And More Rain
I don't remember how many straight days of rain we've had, but it looks like it will continue for at least the next 10 days! I can't complain, though, as the rain should greatly ease the worst of the drought conditions. The best...
- The Only Way To Go Is Up!
I started the morning off by bringing my bowl of fruit & nuts along with a BIG mug of coffee into the living room. I am most comfortable in my big recliner, and I keep a portable heater in front of me to stay warm. I don't think I...
- A Case Of The Jitters!
I'm not concentrating very well this morning. I went into the bedroom and dropped something on the floor - when I picked it up I noticed quite a bit of dust, so into the kitchen I went to get my dust mop. While I was there I decided to...
- Call Me Butterfingers Today
I fixed a big bowl of my usual breakfast fruit and carried it into the living room. I was balancing the bowl on my lap and trying to open my laptop when the bowl somehow jumped and tipped most of the fruit on the floor. Not being one to waste,...
