The day started out sunny, bright and comfortable. It did not get over 71* so very conducive to outside tasks. I worked both stores, then went to my chiropractor appointment. I really needed it. My neck and back were really out of whack. The office had their window draped in a floral garland that brightened up the waiting area.
From there, I stopped and got gas in the Mazda, then came home to grab something that belonged to Diane, and dropped it off her her. She had some Preen, canning jars, and articles from the Trib for me. We sat on her front porch and had iced tea and cookies that her sister had made yesterday. That was lunch for me!
I was happy to be outside, even for a little while. The sky and clouds were amazing! I wanted to just lay on a blanket and keep looking at the clouds. Dr. Allie suggested that I spend the afternoon resting and drinking lots of water. The water I did manage; sorry to say I didn’t rest much….
My first task at home was to rearrange the shed. I had a bunch of totes that didn’t have lids, and lids without totes (sort of like traditional Tupperware!). I organized everything that matched up and tucked it away, and everything else is outta here. It looks much better just doing that. Even the reindeer are happier.
Some flower pictures:
I took down all the holiday decorations, organized them, and put them on their appropriate shelves. I also cleaned off the craft shelves and the baggies shelf. I was just going outside to bring the car in the garage when it started to pour down rain. I just waited a bit and before long the rain quit.
When I was getting ready for work this morning I went to put my cross necklace on and the clasp was broken. Then I put my Williamsburg bracelet on and it was in two parts. So once I finished all my afternoon tasks I got the plyers out — and THEY fell apart. First I fixed the plyers, then the necklace (I didn’t put the clasp back on – I just fastened both ends together permanently – it slips right over my head). I was able to connect the two separated ends of the bracelet back together. It seems sturdy but I’ll keep my eye on it. I’ll maybe take it to a jeweler to check it. The bracelet is older, and a discontinued item, and was fairly expensive. I can’t believe I actually managed those little tasks by myself!
My blessing today was – and is! – being home all afternoon. I love being home!
