Am I ever happy?

Well I must admit to being happy with the weather on Wednesday, BUT, it was a little cool first thing in the morning.  I normally sit at the computer eating my breakfast with the window open, but on Wednesday morning, had to close the window as it was getting a bit nippy.

By the way has anyone seen the lady in the image above..........just a hint it's the ironing fairy.  I have no idea where she has disappeared too, but I wish she could come back as I am fed up of having to do all the ironing!!  I wonder if she's a tad fed up as I haven't paid her recently......actually never!!

As I am writing this on Wednesday night the red cardinal is attacking the window again.  This happens multiple times a day and is driving us all crazy.

The smart phone is still a whole lot smarter than me and between me and you the bloody thing is going back on the weekend, as I need one that does things more simply.  Luckily I have a 14 day trial period with this one.

We are trying to sort out some life insurance for when we have paid off our mortgage next month.  We already have some life insurance but we want to top it up.  Its a whole new minefield trying to sort this out.

One piece of advise though get as much permanent life insurance as possible when you are younger, as it's cheaper than when you are older.

I think that's enough whining for one day........now it's your turn!!

Friday........

Finished cutting the grass.

Got about half of the front ditch cut/trimmed and tidied up, in the hopes it will deter people from throwing their garbage in there.  It was hard going and I still have quite a bit to go, but it's a start.

By 2pm it had started to rain, so indoors I went which is just as well as my poor feet were so sore.  So after I had done the ironing I sat myself down trying to rest my feet. 

I input some recipes for the recipe book, have to say all the while saying icky to myself, as they were all for pickles, and I am not a fan of pickles.

I have even made myself an appointment for the doctors for next Tuesday, to see what on earth is going on with my feet.  You don't realize how much you need/rely on your feet until  you have a problem with them.

This is what was on Squirrel tv Friday morning:

Love the way Molly is standing/sitting there.......

Here is my column for the Orangeville Banner; it's more or less the same as the one I did for the Eden Valley Messenger.

Thought today's post has better be a bit more upbeat!!!

Thanks for all your replies yesterday I really appreciated all your comments.

So on Monday, I did manage to get half of the attic vacuumed before I had problems with the shop vac. All in all that took me around an hour. I had a couple of loads of laundry which I hung out and got dried and ironed. It was super windy all day so they were dry in no time. I got the house tidied up and did some tidying up in the kitchen. All which made me happy, as I love to see the house nice and tidy. I actually enjoy just pottering around the house doing bits and bobs.

The allergies aren't too bad in the morning, but as the day progresses it gets worse. I have made an appointment for the doctors on Tuesday morning, so we'll see what this one has to say about my ear. I did manage to get some grass cut on Monday night, and will have to say I was scratching my nose a lot afterwards.

I also noticed I have a pile of raspberries ready, so will have to get them picked sooner rather than later. I did manage to get some weeding done in my veggie patch, not much, but a start. I am not sure where to start first, as the grass needs to be cut, the rasps need to be picked and the veggie garden is more weeds than veggies.......any ideas? Don't panic I am not stressing, just trying to decide which job should be done first?

I have to call into the garage also Tuesday morning, as I need to get this C V Boot thingy fixed, and they need to see the car, so they can order the part, that will be another $300. On a more positive note, dh can mend my headlight for $10.

All in all Monday was a more positive day, helped by the fact that I am feeling a lot better. Thanks for listening to me........
