What I Do

I started this blog almost two years for myself as a way to track what I do every day. Obviously I haven't done much tracking at all, let alone daily. So for today I am blogging what I have done and what I will do.

Up at 6:30; had coffee; checked email; wrote to a couple of friends; posted to Facebook; played a couple of farm games on Facebook.

Showered, did hair but no make up 'cause it is only Greenville! LOL Dressed; stripped and remade bed; put Em's clothes away in an empty drawer in Ron's dresser.

Fed outdoor cats; played with and petted Penny-the-Cat who is missing Clunker (who is away for the weekend with Tony).

8:45: Got the car out; emptied garbage; got paper from road; went to Dollar General (not open); went to Just a Buck (not open); went to post office (open!); back to Just a Buck and shopped for a few minutes; went to grocery store and spent over $30 on groceries.

9:30: Back home and brought mail and purchases into the house; put car away; filled the two bird feeders; filled the garbage can where I keep the supply of bird seed with 25# of sunflower seeds; tossed empty seed sacks in garbage.

Put groceries away. Ate a bowl of cheerios. Did shoulder exercises/stretches. Started to make an apple cake: peeled apples, pre-heated oven, measured dry ingredients, mixed butter with sugar, added flour and then other dry ingredients and vanilla, added apples and walnuts and filled pan.

While doing the cake watched and listened to a TLC show about house flipping.

Washed dishes dirtied from cake making; took apart stove top and cleaned everything; cleaned Advantium stove exterior; cleaned refrigerator exterior; cleaned dish washer exterior.

Emptied two bottom shelves in the bathroom and then.....

Took a break by: going on line to check bank balances; checked email; checked Facebook; responded to a comment on FB; played FarmTown. Played a couple of games on Pogo.

(And of course, in between I'm blogging 'cause I can't do much without writing it down or I forget.)

Heated up left over mac & cheese for lunch; took apple cake from oven and after cooling, put it on a plate; cleaned bathroom shelves; sorted, tossed and put back all the stuff; cleaned out the medicine cabinet, rearranging items for maximum efficiency.

Cleaned oven -- OOPS.. lol.. cleaning means pressing two buttons on the oven controls.

1:30 to 2:30 PM: Spaced out on the couch with a book, the TV and some napping. I was tired, cranky and missing Ron so much that I got crying.

2:30: Cooked glaze for apple cake and drizzled it on. A time-consuming task 'cause it has to be done slowly. Did more dishes. Then I started wrapping presents. Lord I've got a lot of presents and I'm no where near done.

4:30: Picked up mess from wrapping and called girlfriend for a good chat that lasted an hour.

5:30: Pretty much my day is done. Time to think of something for supper (toast and cereal soudns good), and then relax, if it's possible, for the rest of the evening.
