February 7, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Again, we're on the upswing of the "see-saw" weather. Today will be mostly sunny and low 60s. There's a lot of February to go yet; and we've been know to get snow in March. Still, we have to wonder if there will be a "real" winter this year!
Yesterday: It was a gray day, not so good for going out, but we did and at least it wasn't raining. DH got his glasses adjusted (for now - sometimes it takes several times to get it "right"), and then we joined another couple for lunch in town. I didn't get a lot done; but I did get one storage closet straightened out - many things to be taken to their appropriate homes! LOL!
Today: I have an ever-growing list of "odd jobs" to tackle. I might have my gardener for a few hours, but I don't think I'll be helping with that. I have chocolate business to organize, parties to plan, and a trip to get ready for. Oh yeah, and I still have to do maintenance here! :)

February 6, 2012

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still gray and a bit drippy, and probably will be most of the day. It'll also only be in the low 50s; but since it IS still February, I can hardly complain! LOL! I did have to bring some plants back in though.
Yesterday: I did not have a particularly productive day, but I didn't particularly plan to either! LOL! I did keep up with general decluttering, and "routine" stuff. I *allowed* myself some reading time for a change. I tried to watch SuperBowl; but I confess, I'm just not a sports fan. I got so bored I couldn't even wait to see the famous commercials. They'll show up again anyway.
Today: I don't have a lot planned for today beyond general weekly cleaning. The dialysis supply order is due, but they changed the time ... so I guess he'll get here when he gets here. :) It's looking like, despite my trying to plan otherwise, today and Thursday will be my "at home" days, so even though it's chilly and dark, I'll try to make the best of it. Maybe I'll find time to try out a recipe with some of my new chocolate supplies - you know - just to make sure I know how to do it before I show someone else! Sounds like a good plan, right? LOL!

February 5, 2012

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's cloudy and damp, but will be mid to upper 50s today. I woke up early to rain, so decided it made good sense to go back to sleep! LOL! Now the rain is stopped, but it might be drippy off and on today. This is good!
Yesterday: I finally managed to have a whole day at home. I did, as usual, spend too much time of the computer; but a good part of it was at least business related - I designed my new business cards! LOL! And I did get a major cleaning project accomplished, some laundry done, and cook a nice dinner. All in all, it was a reasonably productive day.
Today: This week's project will be easy - because I won't try to do any major cabinet or closet cleaning in the back part of the house until spring. There's only one clinic appointment this week, so I *think* it should be an easier week without much running around. So, I'm having a day with less "to do" and more reading time. At least, that's the plan. :)

February 4, 2012

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Right now it's partly clear but with "milky" looking clouds moving in. Soon it will be completely cloudy, and with a slight chance of rain. Since we're in a drought now, rain would be good; but I think it might be mostly north of here. It's still very mild though, with a high today around 60.
Yesterday: For some reason I had a hard time getting going in the morning; although at least partly because I was working on **my business** (LOL, love that!). Once we got going it was a pretty good day. Two of the stops we made were unsuccessful, but those can be done next week. Most of the chocolate orders were delivered. Bonus was a lovely visit with my niece and the-most-adorable-baby-in-the-world; bonus #2 getting a nice visit with my sister (much too rare these days); bonus #3 eating dinner on the way home - no dishes! LOL!
Today: At least once this week I do not intend to leave the house at all!! My "cleaning project of the week" was supposed to be to give the bathroom a good scrub. I did get closets worked on - but today I need to buckle down to serious cleaning. Unless I can find a good excuse for something more fun! LOL!

February 3, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's brilliantly sunny out right now, though they say clouds will move in later. Today will be "only" upper 50s. That's pretty normal, and not bad at all! :)
Yesterday: It didn't turn out like I thought it would - what else is new, right? LOL! But it was still a good day. My chocolate order came, and it was SO much fun opening up everything. I still have a lot of organizing to do. We also didn't want to waste the warm day, so worked on the garden. It's almost completely cleaned and weeded, and ready to start planting. Even though it's tempting, we will wait for March to get started! LOL!
Today: This will be an errand day. I have to go pay the rent; dropping off yet more boxes of donations (because I keep cleaning out closets and drawers! LOL!); and then I'll be delivering chocolate orders, and an information packet to my first hostess. It'll most likely be early afternoon before I get started, so hopefully the "routine" house stuff will get done first. :)

February 2, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It was overcast when I first woke up, but it's already clearing and looks like turning into a mostly clear sunny day. According to the news, "Puxatawney Phil" saw his shadow and thus predicted 6 more weeks of winter. Well, at around 70 today - we won't mind keeping this kind of winter!
Yesterday: I butstled around in the morning to get things done, so that I could leave and come home later to a neat house. DH had his clinic appointment, which actually didn't take very long. Then we went by a shop so he could check on the progress of his project. I took a book! LOL! By early afternoon, though, we headed on home. For some reason I couldn't get myself shifted into work-mode, so nothing much got done.
Today: Even though this whole winter so far has been ridiculously mild, we can't assume it will stay. So today while it's so nice, it's time to put the garden "to bed" - so that in another month we can start prepping it for another season! We learned a lot last year - this year we'll plant more tomatoes and fewer peppers! LOL!

February 1, 2012

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast is for partly cloudy, although at the moment it's clear and sunny. But .. it's February ... and today's high will be (in my area) in the low 70s!!!!!
Yesterday: It's a good thing I got the day off to a good start, because I fizzled! LOL! Once I finally finished doing "this and that" around the house, I went to the grocery store. By the time I got things put away, the nurse got here to make adjustments to the dialysis machine settings. And after she left - I did nothing! :) What can I say, I'm a morning person. LOL
Today: I'm trying again to get myself up and moving in the morning, and accomplish more. DH has his regular (weekly) check in with the nurse. Then we'll probably go by a shop where he has a business transaction going on, to check on progress. I believe I'll take a book today! LOL! I hope to get back home in time - and find some motivation - to finish a cleaning job. But I'm not counting on it. :)
