Needless to say, I’m no more organized than ever. I’m just mentally meandering here. I have been trying to get more done. If my doctor could keep up with my Adderall Rx, that would be a big help. This week was lost because I had to do things I hadn’t planned and had no Adderall to help me refocus. I requested it in time, but he never seems to realize a controlled substance needs preauthorization every month. I don’t like…
Not much. A lot. I don’t know. At least that’s what it feels like. I was frustrated all summer because insurance wouldn’t pay for my Adderall. I guess they still aren’t, but finally my husband got it anyway. I think I got a tenth accomplished of what I had hoped. Pretty normal for me without medication. I received a notice that my wood chips had arrived, but there were no wood chips. Turns out the big trucks the tree trimmers…
I just finished reading “4 Colors You Should Never Paint Your Living Room.” I’m so happy that I don’t care what designers think. I LOVE my yellow living room. It’s bright yellow, but not neon. It’s absolutely the most cheerful living room, especially in the morning sunlight. But for me it’s really necessary because after about ten in the morning there is no sunlight. There’s nearly a whole wall of windows, but they face east with a covered balcony and…
That’s what kind of day it is. Mostly clear blue skies and not too hot. I haven’t been doing anything much interesting. Mostly garden chores and cleaning. I’m really bad at cleaning. It’s a combination of ADD and boredom. I get totally overwhelmed with big cleaning jobs like my sewing and art rooms. I have no ability to prioritize. But I’m learning. Or, at least, progressing. I have learned quite a bit from Cas at Clutterbug. I was cleaning off…
I can’t believe I haven’t posted since January 2!! Here’s a quick summary of what I remember at the moment. I was all set to get walking again when I ended up with plantar fasciitis. Besides walking, redoing the art room, cleaning the sewing room, and any garden/yard work was put on hold. After a month of not doing anything I couldn’t do while seated with my feet up, I got moving again. Still slowly. My foot is not 100%…
I’m still feeling minor effects of our year-end-bug. Moreso yesterday than today. Our holidays were dulled by this bug. Alex arrived with it, but we had probably already been exposed. It wasn’t covid or the flu. Just a dang annoyingly strong cold. There was no fancy cooking, and no kitchen makeover We watched a couple of movies and lots of tv shows. The movies were Gone Girl and The Fabelmans . . . and part 1 of an Indian move…
When I logged in, I had three updates. Apparently I can do more on here, now. Not that I understood what with the quick scan I did. No time to play with it now. This week was actually productive for me. Unfortunately, not in the way I had hoped. Fortunately, in a way that was needed. Monday was errand day. Not exciting. Among more routine errands, we got a new toilet. Hopefully, we won’t have clogs and backups any more….
Don’t know where I’ve been. I’m just not here. The thing is, I haven’t actually gone anywhere physically. Some of it is cyberspace that I’ve been away from. I started to post on August 26, but that fell away and is still sitting in drafts not much more than a sentence or two. I haven’t read any blogs since early/mid September. I check my email, maybe once a day. And I have about a dozen sites where I collect free…
Grace has happy light! No, really! She does! She caught it in a photo of her sunflower. This is an un-retouched, slightly enlarged, section of her photo. This is the sunlight coming through the treetops. Go to her post of 8/6 and click on and enlarge the beautiful sunflower photo. So many of those little orbs of sunlight through the treetops at the top of the photo have smiley faces! I know that sunlight makes me happy, but I never…
Tuesday 8/15 As I type, it’s 101° outside. If I could simply sit quietly in the shade, it wouldn’t bother me. It’s very dry heat. However, I had to water some pots. They were the ones in the shade. (Those in the sun will get water after dinner.) That helped, but still, just walking around dragging the hose was a sweaty experience. it was nice to be outside despite the sweaty heat. Sunday was hot outside, too, but I wore…
