That's great Jamie, on all counts.
I am glad you are recovering from the carpal tunnel surgery. And I am glad you are getting some assistance with cleaning. I hope you have a good one. Take care mate.

Today my day was eventless. I volunteered at a library, and it went well. I worked for about
three hours. It's a low stress job there, for me anyway.

Well, I guess your day wasn't completely eventless if you volunteered at the library. Must of been a quiet day though. LOL...
Thanks for checking in Mike. I hope you have a great rest of the day...

Crummy weather today - Freezing drizzle and fog. I had to go to Denver this morning to get blood drawn and get my hip x-rayed in the afternoon. In between I hit a bunch of thrift stores. Thrifting makes me feel better especially when at home all I have to do is chores and things for my mother in law. I buy too much and I wind up giving half of it back and for some reason I am embarrassed about
doing it.
Jamie, I'm glad you got your surgery over with and are now on the recovery side. Is it hot there?

Today I was a farmworker for a couple of hours. We got a lot done.
And from the farm, I brought home some green and red peppers. I don't know what I'll use them for just yet.

Jamie so glad to hear your surgery was successful!! That is one pain down for the count!
Every time I get on the lap top or phone it is a battle of wills between myself and Doodle, 1yr old mutt.
At this very moment she has relenquished my lap to the computer, although her from paws are on my left leg and she licks my left hand and screen.
lick, stip, lick lick lick, NO lick lick stop NO lick lick lick lick Doodle NO sigh head down, sneaks in one more lick
At least I am now winning in the long run now!
Pitmom, so nice to you posting about
your plants and flowers again. Honestly, I would have to look them up now to see them. Memory loss has taken the pictures out of my head. This is not a bad things. Just think of the things I get to relearn!
Peace and strength

Today I went out for a walk around my neighborhood, vacummed my kitchen floor, swept my front door deck, and ate breakfast and lunch at home.

Good deal Mike,
I am going to a friend's house if my anxiety doesn't get in the way. I haven't been there in a long time. My birthday was yesterday and hers is tomorrow, so we try to celebrate together. It has been over six months since I have seen her and she lives in the same town. I just don't socialize like I use to and I think the anxiety has a lot to do with that. But today I am going to try to push myself because I feel I deserve this.
Mike, Trina, Kathy, Jamie, Pitmom and all others, I hope you all have a good day today and a good weekend, oh shucks, why not a good week. LOL... Take care all.
Hugs, Karen...

Happy Birthday Karen! I hope you had a good day with your friend.
Jamie, how is your wrist? Can you feel your fingers?
Today I took stuff to the transfer station to recycle, stuff to the Goodwill donation site, then bought a bunch of stuff at Walmart. Then I sorted some stuff to go to the Utah house and put other stuff in a box to send to my son. Sometimes I watch episodes of "Hoarders" on youtube which makes me feel better about
my stuff ( but I feel so sorry for those folks - how can they fix OCD in a weekend?)

Thank you Kathy, I know how you feel. I watch hoarders too just to feel better about
my own house. It is small and cluttered. I am kind of a hoarder myself. My husband helps me to part with stuff. I always think I will need something in the future, where the truth is, if I need it, I can't find it anyway. LOL...
I hope you all have a good day.

Very busy day again. I am overwhelmed, very depressed and my back hurts a lot, which is new for me. I am crying when I am alone. Sunny but having a windstorm, which is common here in the winter.

Hoarders, yuck! I had to stop watching. My parents became borders, my brother and I had to clean the house to care for our father the last 3 yrs of his life.
It was even more disgusting when we were doing the rehab to sell the house when he passed. We ended up selling as is. We could not take it.
I baked pumpkin cranberry bread today. husband said he would come over tomorrow and help. So I got it all done today, the are for the neighbors and 1 for his mother. Just texted, don't come bread is all done.
I don't need him. I want a divorce, he won't even talk about
it. I don't want to cut my nose off. So I leave the subject lie. He won't be coming back here.
I am not going to his mothers for thanksgiving. He is upset, but everyone know we are split, so why bother with the charade? I only see him on payday and I never visit his mother anymore. Well hardly ever.
I feel great about
this.
Peace all

Trina,
You are only getting stronger and stronger each day. I am glad you are putting your foot down and doing what is right for you. You are right, why bother with a charade??? For looks??? Naw, do what feels good for you. Kudos on making the bread!!!

Trina,
My husband and I are still married for financial reasons only. He lives the majority of the year on the farm 3 hours away. He's a fun guy to get a beer with but a terrible partner.

Today, for lunch, I ate a clam cake burger at a local general store, along with a can of Mountain Dew soda. It really hit the spot for me.

I just watched something on television about
natives digging for clams after the tide went out. Using deer antlers. I don't know where it was but I think it was in Alaska. It was interesting but I only saw a couple of minutes. And interesting Mike that I would watch that and then read you had clam cake burger. LOL...
Sounds like you enjoyed your day.
Hugs to all...

I did enjoy my day, Karen.
I will not be eating any clam cake burgers tomorrow, however, as I'll be eating turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving.

Checking in. HT, happy to hear you had the surgery!
I'm not cooking for the family today. Daughter was going to stop by, but is having car trouble. Have not heard from my son. Baked an apple pie, will make myself a turkey breast and the trimmings later, doing laundry now.
I've moved my bed now that there's room to do so, and put up new drapes in the bedroom. So nice to be able to walk all the way around the bed now for making it...and I have each day!
Got all of the furniture into the office/dressing room. Very snug...thank goodness I'm tiny! New rugs for the floor in there and a new pillow to go onto the chair.
Changed the placement of the wire shelving unit in the kitchen. Now it's no longer blocking off between it and the living room. Still able to use the hook rack, now on the end, for my jacket at the front door. New, white microwave that will NEVER have garlic crust hot pockets heated in it!!!
Picked up a small, round, drop leaf table and chairs at the Goodwill to serve me for now. Hoping to get over to the 'Antiques & Salvage' place, hoping they still have the other drop leaf table I have my eye on!
My home is really coming together nicely. I've repainted the wall in the living room and now the buffet holds the t.v. there. Wanting to put up a long shelf for the decor stuff soon.
Peace to all of you!

Hi Mike, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving Day... I hope you had your turkey and all the trimmings. We had chicken. It was real good. I get them from a friend who raises free roaming chickens. They are huge and juicy. So we had that instead of turkey. But I may have turkey for Christmas, I still like it.
Pitmom, sounds like things are going good and you now have your house back to yourself. I am sure it is relaxing for you now. Sounds like you are getting things done too that you may have been wanting to do for awhile. I am happy for you.
I hope you all had a good day. A happy Thanksgiving and a good night for some of you. Jamie you should be getting up around now.
Take care all!
Hugs, Karen...

Roller coaster day. Was having happy memories of my Mom as I was making my apple pie, watching the parade on the t.v. this morning. Got a few loads of laundry done. Daughter called, upset her car wasn't running right and she wouldn't be down after all. Made my turkey breast and the trimmings for myself. Son called to wish me a happy day. Leftovers all put away, here comes the sadness. Jammies on, take an Aleve in hopes of a more comfortable wake up...tossing and turning in bed, too much pain and I can't find my t.e.n.s. unit due to all of the rearranging. Ugh! Hoping everyone had a peaceful day.

Thank you Pitmom. My day was quiet with good food. Speaking of apple pie, I am going to make my husband one next month for his birthday. They are good but so much work. Take a lot of space that I don't have to roll out a crust. It usually takes me awhile to make one. Often I mix the crust up a day ahead and keep it in the refrigerator over night so it is easier to work with the next day. I got the apples in the freezer all cut up anyway, that helps.
I hope you find your t.e.n.s. soon so you don't suffer with pain too long. Sometimes our cleaning projects hide the stuff we usually keep on hand.
It took me three hours to fall asleep last night. I finally gave in and took a Xanax. Then I got up early to catch a black Friday sale on the internet. That is a whole another story. I am just glad I am done and it was better than having to battle people trying to shop.
Take care Pitmom. Glad to see you posting.
Hugs, Karen...

I always eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day. But sometimes I'll eat a lot of it, and other Thanksgivings I only consume a little bit.
