What are you doing today?

qualitygal — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 11:59:50 GMT

It's raining. Spring & Fall. Seasons of the rain. So today, I'm watching only movies I haven't seen before. I'll work on my crochet. I'm doing a blanket of 4 stitches that will cover lap and legs if we lose power this winter.

I'm working on a large one for someone unknown. Hope it will keep someone else warm if they feel cold this winter too.

Running errands, quick trip to Macy's, watching the weather channel to see if Hurricane Florence is going to make landfall on the eastern coast. We had plans to vacation there for ten days beginning Monday.

The usual "to do's", but in a different order (that's exciting now, isn't it?!).

Grocery run (enjoyable - I love my Wegmans trips).

Nature walk. Perhaps some interesting news watching.

Have a wonderful day!

It's raining here also; however, that is not going to stop me from going to The Farmer's Market. I'm planning to pick up some freshly baked bread, Apple Butter, whichever fresh veggies/fruits catch my eye, and some wonderful candy that is made by a group of Amish people. Since it is raining and a little cool, I'm hoping it won't be as crowded as usual so I'll be appropriately dressed to take my time and look at some of the vendors' wares I normally skip.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I'm jealous of all of you, lol! I'm working (and would love to just be home, especially since I didn't sleep at all well last night).

My goodness @vermint you are living my life with me. I slept horrible last night and now I am sitting at work wishing for retirement or just a Saturday. Got two new photos of my grandchildren in an email from my DDL this a.m., so I will scoot back and forth all day to those sweet faces. At least it is Thurs. which is supposed to be the best day of the whole week: the closet to Friday and the furthest from Monday.

@beckyb1012 I'm about 18 months away from retirement...might be partial, I haven't decided yet. I can't wait til I can live my life on my own schedule---been working full-time since 1976, and that's long enough!

18 months!!! How divine, it is at least 6 years for me if not 10. Well you can spend the next 18 months making all those wonderful plans. I remember 1976 myself and days of drill team, high school, and then going to work retail at the mall.

So now that my lawn tractor is dead, the lawn needs mowing. Grateful that we have a push mower even though it stinks for an acre of lawn. It’s cool today, so it won’t be so bad. Also need to paint primer on the outside of the patio (it was put up last year, but untreated lumber can’t be painted right away). Will be a busy girl. Need to get my “painting shirt” ready to go!

@qualitygal

off topic: congratulations on using the word "only" correctly. Too many people don't. This qualifier should go as close as possible to the word it modifies. Drives me crazy when I see it used wrong, but then I'm a grammarphobic.

Cheers!

@qualitygal Really boring, mundane day. House cleaning. I let my housecleaning people go (once a month for heavy cleaning). Asked yesterday for 50% increase....Uh, no! I’m not that feeble...yet...will do it myself and look for someone else when I have time.

Shouldn't you write "used incorrectly"?

They have everything and are competitively priced. Of course, you can spend lots on prepared things, but I don't. Sometimes a fresh bagel for DH on Saturday.

NO SELF CHECKOUTS is a plus. Yes, said with emphasis.

Their website and app make it a snap to do the grocery list.

@Sweetbay magnolia APP for shopping list?

Re: What are you doing today?

Sweetbay magnolia — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 14:48:25 GMT

application, if you use a smart phone. You can also get your purchase history, and a frequently bought product list, amongst other things. The list you create will tell you the aisle the item is in.

@vermint@I retired at 45 and I must say it is wonderful.It took about a year for me to realize that I was on permanent vacation.The only problem is that I get less done now than when I worked as I feel that I have endless time.I think you are going to looove it!

Finally just got cable and internet service to my new place!

New bed and desk being delivered and assembled in about an hour.

Consult for kitchen remodel at 2, then off to a local flooring store for a second quote on replacing the carpet on the stairs and second floor.

I hope to squeeze in a quick trip to Target for a couple of necessary items.

Tomorrow I will be reunited with my furniture, wardrobe, etc after three weeks in storage. Can't wait..
