record of today just for me, nothing exciting at all......

but once again i am so grateful for chairs......ahhhh, sinking into cushioned comfort after chores is so wonderful!

so far i:

tidied the bathroom (emptied trash, fresh towel, cleaned commode, refreshed bath mat in dryer, dusted......washed cpap equipment, washed crystal coasters)

tidied the bedroom (removed trash container since i never use it, added magazine basket to trash container corner, dusted all the furniture.....tidied the bed, took laundry to washing machine, vaccuumed)

tidied living room (dusted, vacuumed, threw out old scratch mat and gave the cat kids a new one.....voila!, washed all the pretty crystal coasters, grabbed dusty throws to wash, ahhhh, much better.  went back and cleaned cat hair off sofa......not gonna vaccuum the white rug today, even i'm not that crazy.  it has really long fluffy fur which is hard for me to handle.....forgot to dampwipe the wide ledge where the kitties watch the world go by......in a minute maybe.......as in maybe next time)

tidied kitchen, vaccuumed, dusted, washed misc dishes, filled dishwasher, running now......washed all cat items, water and food bowls, cat food mat, wiped counters and table down, washed cat litter mat outside.......moved the planters to catch the fresh falling rain......rinsed off the patio and wind chimes......the kitchen window, my feet.......

tidied laundry room, swept, dusted, emptied vaccuum cleaner dirt & dust into trash, emptied trash and replaced with fresh bag....took all trash to curb for today's p/u......got the mail.

staring at the unopened mail and a couple of bills that need to be paid.......i can do it now or i can save it for tomorrow...or later today.

this is a lot for me to do and i know that when i rise from this chair it will not be good.  this is a hurried light cleaning.....with a swiffer and a broom, catching the dustiest bits and making my space feel good, refreshed.......ahhhhhhh.

i planted a tiny rooted plant into the cutest tiny mint green pot last night......it's pretty adorable!  i got two new ceramic planters yesterday yesterday, i thought they would be a smaller size, but no.....they are of the larger variety......i was so surprised, they are very pretty.  they are white ceramic with a teal avant garde flowery pattern on the sides........so at some point in the near distant future i need to move smaller potted plants into these bigger pots.  getting the wrong size turns out to be very fortuitous, as this will let crowded roots grow in these bigger lovely planters.......and they come with built in saucers which i really like.  both planters came as a set from wal mart for just over $15.......pretty good deal for this bargain shopper.

i also ordered some shampoo & conditioner for curly hair, wonder if it really works??  used it today, so i guess i'll see soon enough......i open the boxes from fed ex......and to my surprise they put one bottle of shampoo in one box all by itself and the conditioner in another box all by itself.......boxes way too big for one item by far..........so completely silly really.......were they out of the small boxes?  it made me giggle and think shame of them all at the same time......so ludicrous.

so last night around 8 the phone rang, it was Mardy......calling to see how i'm doing, ahhh, so sweet!  well we are barely into the conversation when she says something that i can't make heads or tails of.......mardy has a speech impediment.  i can understand her well enough when i can see her speaking, but over the phone my tired self has a much harder time........so anyway she said something and i said yes, then i said wait, i'm not sure what you said can you repeat that?  the phone line didn't sound right so i called out her name a couple of times....and realized she was no longer there.  hmmmm, so i call her back, it goes to voicemail......so confused.  i hope i didn't misunderstand something in a way that might have offended her?????  please Lord let it not be that.....maybe she said she had another call and that's the sentence i didn't understand.......i just don't know. 

i hope everything is ok.......my son in law's birthday was yesterday, i sent him an old school nintendo game he wanted.......hope he has big fun with it, it won't arrive until saturday........but i sent him a happy birthday note and planned for us to all go out to dinner later this month.  why later?  cause this week end the kids are going to Greenville SC for the wedding of their cousin Chelsea and her fiance Dustin.........such a beautiful couple.  so wish i co u ld be there.......

makes me sad that my saved energy went to clean, which will kick me hard in the t ookus........wipe me out, but at least i can rest and be miserable in a relatively cleaner space.....see stella said she would come this week to clean before heading to L.A. on Saturday but then i never heard from her and it never occurred to me to call her to see what is what........so that's why i was doing so much nest tidying. 

got a load in the dryer and a small load in the washer.....feeling pretty doggoned virtuous.  time for a break, maybe some lunch soon......i almost want an old school pb and j sammie......wait a bit and see.  got a lot of those yummy oranges to eat ......that always sounds good!

later me, praying for you daily......for all y'all!
