It seems like another lazy Sunday.  I was prepared to visit the laundromat to clean the blanket. Thus far, I have managed to feed Sky and have coffee.

I intended to sit outside on the patio, but it was too chilly when I went out.  I returned indoors.  The weather reports indicate it is in the 50s.  The sun is shining. The AC temperature should be consistent because it's also chilly inside.

I considered going grocery shopping; however, I currently do not require any items.  I'll go after the eye appointment on Friday.

I am anxious about Friday’s appointment.  My eyes have been more blurry than usual.  Is it diabetes, lupus, or simply old age?  I didn’t go sooner because I knew the appointment was coming up and so I just adjusted my reading methods.

I did the laundry, folded it, and made the bed.   In addition to having lunch, I watched Season 18 of NCIS on ION TV. I accomplished several more tasks before retiring for the night.

I was hoping or planning on going for a walk this morning but I don’t usually like walking in the rain.  So if there is a break in the rain I will go.  I know I am a wuss.  I sometimes think because I am getting older I don’t want to fall.  I remember I did a walk with my Friend Joan and I stepped in mud and slid and fell.   I didn’t hurt anything but my pride I think.  I got wet and cold.

So the ladies guild meeting went well.  We have our annual kickoff dinner/scholarship presentation and I have to be there to set up with Ann to register people.  I don’t have to have the membership list but I will want to update it.  I made it known to at least Ann that I am taking this on next time.  We have a few things that are coming up in the next few months that should be fun.

I went and got some more k-pods from Big Lots yesterday.  I bought the regular variety pack and then autumn flavors.  The both of them were $50.  96 count each.  I probably will go through them fairly quickly. I think I had two of them and the last one was about 2 hours before going to bed.   It took me a long while to get to sleep.

The rest of the day I will do some more cleaning that I didn’t do earlier this week.  It will leave the weekend to either relax or take in a concert; Then again I am not sure I will do that.

I was watching the Smithsonian marathon of Mighty Trains last night.  It was very interesting but my headache was making it difficult to enjoy it.  It never went away and I still have it this morning.

I didn’t do anything for it until about five minutes before going to bed.  I am hoping the Tylenol will kick in soon.  All I had this afternoon was the steak and vegetables and a few slices of bread.  The back of my neck was hurting too.   It isn’t now.  It was the way I was sitting on the chair.

I did throw out the boxes that I broke down.    I didn’t use some of the cabinet space by the sink.  The dishes that I put in the other cabinet will move there in the next few days.

If you thought I was confused yesterday about the insurance papers I got earlier this week I got another one and it sounds like the coverage for the condo was cancelled but it was for the house.  I hope.  I never did get a call from the agent.  I just have to be sure to bring the documents to work with me tomorrow.

Cortana says its partly sunny right now.  Um I don’t see any sun.  I see clouds.  It is supposed to have snow and rain showers today.   I am not sure when it will start and I am hoping it won’t until I am in for the night.

Liz and I planned on going to Home depot and return the blinds that don’t fit and were damaged.  I know she asked me to get the president or someone here to put the only ones that seem to be okay up for me.  I don’t think they want to come in and do it because of Covid.

I am thrilled I finally got rid of a dirt spot in the Livingroom.  I used carpet cleaner first and then Resolve (I have a feeling I should have used that to begin with).  I think the spot came from the movers.

I am still emptying out boxes in the kitchen and I hope to be done with it soon.  I am still putting the rest of the dishes just anywhere for now.  I don’t want to leave things around and it’s starting to feel like it’s getting messy.

I have been getting alerts from Angie’s list regarding the plumbing problem and none of them have given prices or calls.  Well the Angie’s list rep called and gave me a price I want to discuss with Liz first.  I do have a plumber that I used back at the old house but I need to be sure I can use him per the rules of the association.

 

I have some cards to get out for the Christmas holiday however, that’s all that’s being done.  No presents for anyone-anywhere.

I better get going….

It was nearly 1 in the morning before I fell asleep.  Partly because I had coffee last night thinking I was going to be doing things and instead I ate crap and watched the Twilight saga. 

The other reason I couldn’t sleep is Cheryl informed us the closing date is December 11 for the house and condo.  It’s really happening.  Cheryl had Liz call her (and she should have called me and explained what Liz said to me) to explain to me what is going to happen.  Once I sign over the house I can’t come back.  Liz says I may have to spend the night at her house and leave the cats at the condo. By themselves and lose.  I am going to have to ask her about that again.

Liz asked me to make a list of the utilities and the account numbers and for both the house and the condo.   I did that and then proceeded to change the address on almost everything.  I haven’t done it to the water company yet I have to fill out some form and print it out.  Again have to read it again.  The DMV I Have to print out and mail to the company..  As for the UI and water and I feel I have to do more like tell them to turn it off and when to do it and add another account.

I finally fell asleep for several hours and woke up around 4 or 5 and the next thing I knew it was 5:30. 

I have fed the cats, did the normal routine and answered some emails and read some social media. I have to update the list now that the sun has risen.  I know I have a lot to do.

 I did manage to go grocery shopping for the week.  I hope not to go through it all in two days.

Today will be definitely cleaning the house again.  Getting that damn closet weeded out and hopefully do it before the rain that is expected starts.  I am hoping that I can go to the goodwill and or store to pick up stuff.

Well I am now waiting until 8 to start…..such a procrastinator.  I am getting scared thought it’s like I want to entrench myself on the wall like Tiger did that day under the bed.

I woke up around 5:30 like usual and did the feeding routine and went back to bed and decided to start cleaning after 8.  I started upstairs with the bathroom and bedrooms.  I realize that there isn’t much in the other rooms but I don’t want it to be that dusty. 

It wasn’t long before I took a break and finished a letter to Karyn in Colorado.  I also started laundry and finished coffee.  I did my daily check in with the sibs.  I hadn’t heard from Big Brother until much later.

Before I got back to work I downloaded a journal app to the phone.  I just had read a blog entry about journaling and this person was very interesting.  I like learning about how to blog or journal and the different methods (I am having a hard time with the minimalist journaling part I do find it interesting to see others work it.)

Around two I started losing my energy for the cleaning.  I kept looking around and said well the floors are done.  I didn’t wash them I will probably do that next week.  There isn’t much to do dust either.

So I spent the next couple of hours either relaxing or waiting for the laundry to finish so I could make the bed and fold the clothes.

All day I was thinking about the cousin chat today.  I was nervous about their reaction to the news the house.  What would they say?  Would they be judgmental? That was a possible reaction.  I expected suggestions on types of housing, and some reassurances too.

It was great to hear the stories and memories of each of them from their daily lives.  It’s almost like a video letter of their lives.
