I hope you’re feeling great this morning. I started to turn over in the bed and then looked at the clock, startled to find it was already time to get up. I’m trying to wake up fully now with my coffee beside me.

My husband finished putting the computer hardware together yesterday and Windows 11 is installed. We’ve run into a snag in that the computer isn’t recognizing it is connected to our Internet. I’m emphasizing that we are NOT in a hurry and for my husband not to feel that he’s in the middle of a “death struggle” trying to get it to work. He reminded me he’s ALWAYS been like that…

I finished this in my art room last night and will list it on HandmadeHavenbyLinda this morning under “Hand Wood-Burned Gifts.” I also started a raccoon. :0)

The “closet/bureau/guest-room-closet clean-out” project is finished! I ended up filling twelve 13-gallon bags full of clothes and shoes that we’ll donate to the Veterans Thrift Shop Monday morning. I feel good that (1) I will pass on a lot of things someone else might be able to wear and enjoy, (2) that I found so many things that are now too large for me to wear! :0), and (3) that, although I really hate to try on clothes, particularly when they turn out to be STILL too small (these were limited to the next size down in jeans), I got the project done, doing a session each day, not giving up until I finished – a character-building exercise for sure.

I hate this time of year because I’m the one who gets us ready to take our tax stuff to our CPA for processing. I used to really stress out. Now it’s just a big annoyance. I converted to spreadsheets that I keep on my computer. I make myself process our tax stuff at the end of each month now, so that I can finish up the spreadsheets quickly at the end of the year and gather the supporting documents.

Our CPA sends us an organizing booklet each January. I groan when I see it, because it still means a lot of hassle required. I’ll get started on the booklet today. Sigh. :0/

I hope you don’t have to go to work today and that you make this an enjoyable day, with at least a smile or two.

I hope your Saturday is off to a good start.

It’s supposed to get to 105 F. actual temperature here this afternoon, so we’re planning to stay inside for the most part.

I made spaghetti last night, using Rao’s for the sauce base. My husband won’t even consider eating ‘zoodles’ (zucchini spiralized), so I sneakily used Banza Spaghetti (made from chickpeas -shhhhh!) It’s better for us in several ways. My husband complimented the spaghetti, even asking if there was enough for leftovers. :0)

Today is

  • laundry day,
  • change the sheets day,
  • pay the bills day,
  • play in the art room day,
  • yoga practice day,
  • listen to music for awhile day,
  • read part of a book day,
  • maybe take a nap day,
  • vacuum the equivalent of another dog from the tiles and carpet day,
  • enjoy life day.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Thoughts on a Saturday 10-26-2019

Cheap Trip

Our weather is 53 degrees F. and raining, so it’s a great day to stay inside, feeling grateful for a warm, dry home. I put together a keto crock pot chili recipe (thanks to Suzanne Ryan, Simply Keto)  so we can look forward to a nice comfort meal this evening.

I’m finishing the last plaque in the 5 plaque series using my new Unicorn Spit Stain/Glaze kit sent to me by my wonderful sister-in-law and FRIEND, MaryLou. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving. I’m going to also try it on some glass Christmas ornaments I have, plus some flat wooden ornaments next. :0)

 

Since my body told me quite clearly Tuesday morning that it really NOTICED that I hadn’t exercised Monday, I’m actually finding it easier to work in my elliptical session and my yoga session daily. I don’t HAVE to do them at some particular time ( a SURE recipe for failure, since things always come up -giving me an excuse to skip it).  I do rest in-between the two sessions, but that’s the only limitation.

I’m doing 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer

and 35-45 minutes on my yoga stretching

I’m enjoying book #38 “Concealed in Death” (of the 50 in the series so far) of J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) “In Death Series.” I make myself wait until the books come out in paperback and then read the whole series again before I give myself permission to read the newest one I’ve bought for my collection. Even though the main character, Eve Dallas, is a homicide cop, I find her, and all the people in her world, fascinating.  I feel extremely lucky to have found several favorite authors who allow me to dive into the worlds they create and live there awhile each day. :0)

 

I’m enjoying bouncing from exercise – to cooking – to playing in my art room – to reading – to taking dogs out – and back again today. I hope your Saturday is a satisfying one, too.
