little bit of writing time.

my goal? to be uncrashed.


since my TH journal i put the dvd shelves on the floor in a small space in the living room and put treasures on it.....for now.  the overall plan is to take the dvds off the smaller packed shelves and transfer them to the newly painted shelves.  but i have the folding craft table sitting in the middle of the small kitchen.....so there isn't room for the newly painted shelves just yet.


i went ahead and taped off the glass in the table top curio cabinet and give all the pieces a first coat of paint.  it's been sitting there waiting on me since then.  friday i guess.......i did manage to go outside and do a little bit.  not much---moved the hanging pots under a tree......brought two of those pots to the backyard to hang on a metal pole planter hanger........i found a cool piece of wood outside and decided to paint it with a clear acrylic coat.  still not sure if it's arty or meh.........lol, time will tell.  it was part of a tree stump that broke off and tumbled down a hill by the front road......i like arty random things. 


the laundry is sitting here looking up at me with a hopeful face........it's just towels and undies, so nothing hard to handle.......i've been planning to make something with a chicken breast and a pound of ground beef since Friday, that never happened.  i fell back under the spell of inability and exhaustion.  not happy bout it....


need to cook up the meat tomorrow.  just plan to gently boil the chicken and saute the beef.  use the beef for tacos probably......the chicken will be put under the broiler for a bit of heat......add a bit of favorite bbq sauce for some zing......i ate questionable leftovers for dinner.  leftover casserole, a spoonful of potato salad......some peach jello.  my tummy went from rumbly hungry to slightly sick.  probably should have made some oatmeal?  something blander......i had leftover soup and jello for breakfast and well i have had tummy troubles all day long.  maybe i should live on jello til further notice?  i think i need to start dating my frig food so i am certain it is safe to eat. 


can i remember to do that?  do i really need to do that?  maybe.......tomorrow is my son in law's birthday.  i just wrote him a birthday e-mail and sent sara a text letting her know i was thinking in care of his birthday and making plans.......a dinner, a movie..........not sure what, but something fun!


i really thought i would be organized enough to get him a card......but i never went anywhere ........i should have mailed him a note card at the very least......yes, i feel bad, a level of guilt and remorse, he is a good man and loves my daughter very much.........and it is his                    30th birthday......a mile marker day for sure!


he will forgive me i know, but well it's never easy to not have it together concerning loved ones and special events.


i slept most of the day with golden girls running in the background........time to fold laundry and lay down in the quiet space of my bedroom.  .......hope you are doing alright.  praying for you!  sending you HUGS RIGHT NOW>>>>>>>FEEL THE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, love. Yeah, it is hard to remember how old stuff is the fridge. Around this house, I am the only one who eats leftovers. It's frustrating. Rest up. You got a lot done. Love.

Sounds like you are doing some fun home improvement projects. You always do your best to keep Sparrow Cottage looking its best! I wonder if younger people even expect greeting cards like we did. Emails and texts, and Facebook birthday greetings seem to be the thing these days. I'm glad your daughter has a loving spouse, and I hope you get to celebrate with them in a fun way.

I enjoy visiting your home and hearing about your day,thoughts,plans. Do you,Rio & Annie ever play together? Mine sometimes plays,but mostly sleeps and eats. I boil chicken breasts for the week. Then shred it and mix it with whatever meal its going to be for the day. Your painted shelves sound nice. The artsy wood does as well.. a treasure in the rough maybe. ♥ you Serce and Rio and Annie too.♥
