Felt every one of my years and a few more

As I am writing this on Wednesday night I am feeling every one of my years, plus a few more.

I hadn't planned on having a busy day, but that's exactly how it turned out.

I managed to accomplish a lot so that was good BUT my body is not happy with me.

  • I washed the rugs on the main floor
  • Wrote two books reviews, here and here.
  • Applied two coats of paint to the outside frame of the front door.  The weather we have been having is making it a perfect time to paint.
  • Went to the north of the city to pick up my monthly produce bag:
In this months were the usual carrots, onions and potatoes.  Along with cherry tomatoes, 2 regular tomatoes, a bunch of spring onions, a bunch of celery, which I donated to the food bank as we hate celery.  A bunch of bananas, Fuji apples and 5 oranges.  The oranges are past their best and will no doubt have to throw most of them out.

  • Called in at Homesense to pick up a couple of things.  The store in the north of the city is so much better than the one in the south.
  • Called in at Fabricland to pick up some fabric, as I want to recover the seat cushions from the chairs on the front porch.  That's a job for next week.
  • Made potato salad, as the bunch of spring onions looked iffy.  I add hard boiled eggs, spring onions, potatoes, mayonnaise and seasoning to my salad, very straight forward.

  • Put the living room back together.
  • Finished off my cross stitch; it looks great and will share photos on Friday.
  • Made supper, salad, potato salad and deli meat, with fruit, jello and yogurt for pudding.
  • Sat myself down for the night!!
Here's hoping Thursday isn't as busy!!

That was a lot to do in one day. I couldn't do all that in a month. Now, I am going to get a snack of my potato salad. Well, it is the rest of my dinner I did not eat.

Jobs done and dusted, you were busy. Made me tired reading about what you did.

Look forward to seeing the cross stitch.

I just made potato salad for dinner and never thought to add spring onions. I like celery in mine.

Did you put the green onions into a glass of water? It keeps them hydrated and propogates new growth for trimming.

Gee, if I did all that I'd probably be comatose. No wonder!
