I did all sorts of things today... I am pleased withe myself. Laundry is done. I even washed all our little throw rugs from the laundry/mudroom and kitchen. They look new. I fiddled some today. I worked on "Sail Away Ladies", "Cherokee Shuffle" (that was a fun one)and a few more I can't remember. I like my girlspace. It looks out over our long backyard which has lots of nice trees (Maples, Cedars, Virginia Pines and a young little Red Bud tree). I sit in front of the two large windows and fiddle away. This Fall, Ken is talking about putting French Doors in where these windows are and moving them to another wall. There will be a narrow deck that will connect, I think, to the existing deck. This will be very, very neat!
Shooooet! I said I did all sorts of things today... ok... I went on a 30 minute walk with The Poodster (Our Brussles Griffon). She's great to take on walks. She stays right at my side and never pulls. She also doesn't stop to sniff or piddle every three feet. I talk to her most of the way telling her what I nice, small, tiny, miniature little, no good for something puppy she is. She likes this a lot. She looks up to me every now and again like it makes perfect sense to her. Anybody else would probably send me to the looney bin.
Oh yeah, and another thing I did was to take a 2 1/2 hour (or so) nap. I thinks me medications probably keep me feeling drowsy.... either that or my thyroid is tanking again. It's probably the drugs. I'm a walking pharmacy, but this is ok. Better living through chemistry.
I'm now pausing to see what other of the "all sorts of things" I might have done today.... Well, I cleaned out the kitteh litter box, dumped trash, scrubbed toilets and spent time on Facebook putting pictures on somebody's Facebook page. I also watched the movie, Secretariat"on Netflix. I really liked it.
Ken is up in the air about 45 minutes to an hour from home. He is flying back from Houston. It looks like he will be commuting to Houston until October or November, then he will most likely be working/commuting to Aberdeen, Scotland for 6 months to year. I haven't been away from him for that long before. It will be three weeks over there in misty, grey, damp, Scotland and threes back over here. The three weeks back home should be really fun. We can actually go on adventures together, and work on the house, etc.
I've got some chicken baking in the oven right now for my brother when he gets home tonight (at about the same time Ken gets in). It has sliced garlic (the garlic is from our garden last year), rosemary sprigs, a little sherry vinegar, and olive oil. It always smells so good while its baking.
Ok, I'm shutting 'er down for the night....
Wow you were quite a productive person today!
ReplyDeleteI talk to the cats like you talk to your dog. maybe they will lock us both up in a loony bin! LOL!
That kind of stinks that Ken will be gone for such long amounts of time. :(
Ohhhhh, I like to put pictures on someone's facebook page too!! >:)
The ideas for the house sound fun.... my dad built our house as I was growing up. It is kind of fun and exciting to watch... drywall is a real big mess though. My dad built our house in sections starting on both ends at different years and as he got the money working his way towards the middle and it all connected up just fine. I shall have to show you pics one day. He is pretty handy with making/building things. He also draws pretty good - I am sure that is where I got it from.
Rosemary chicken DOES smell good. Jim makes it sometimes here and then sometimes we would get it at this yummy lil eatin place downtown called "The Blue Plate" here in "C-town".
Hope you all get some good adventures in. Jim and I like adventures too!!! He is writing a paper for his online class at the moment. :/
Later!
