What I Accomplished Today

Cakers3 — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 19:18:55 GMT

So..........I have an iPod Nano 2GB DS and DDIL bought for me about 15 years ago. Still works great, amazing.

But transferring iTunes from old computer to this one-something isn't going so well. I can still move music in the Library back and forth to the iPod but I cannot load new music.

So DH bought a new MP3 player for me and I set it up all by myself.

Don't laugh because the iPod is the only device I ever learned alone.

If I the universe depended upon me to be techno-savvy, we'd all be dead.

2nd accomplishment: Short-changing the roofer today.

By $100. Thank goodness he is a good friend of DS. Poor guy had to turn around and come back.

3rd accomplishment: Squirting myself in the face with my liquid hand soap. Thank goodness I had on my eyeglasses.

4th accomplishment: Made coffee while forgetting to put coffee in the filter.

5th accomplishment: Resisting eating the whole pint of Pistachio gelato. I hear it, I hear my name, I peek at it in the freezer, but I behave. At least for another hour.

There is a pattern here. LOL

What have you done today besides hang around here? LOL

@Cakers3

First impression: Yes , there is a pattern there. Dh ridicules you too readily. Find something constructive for him to do.

@Cakers3

I apologize I thought I read /you asked us "what we accomplished today"....

Would have been a good day for you to do like I did...😉

It can only get better I've had days like yours alot lately🤷‍♀️

~~~~~

Not one thing🙂🙂🙂

It was storming this morning, dark and dreary. I didn't feel well so I snuggled up in a blanket and didn't get up until 11--a first in a long time for me!!!

I'm usually up by 6-7 and raring to go and accomplish a lot.

Not today in fact, just told spouse he's on his own for dinner. I'm taking a day off🙂

@Cakers3 You have had a busy day! My day was working in the yard for a couple hours... blowing off the driveway...watering...and I pruned back the new growth on two big hedges in the backyard.

Here in another month it will be getting to be leave fall time...I spend hours raking🙁. My husband never helps me in the yard..... never even offers. But that is par for the course.....

I kept reading your post and thinking "so proud!" on repeat! Until the ice cream. Go for it. You owe it to yourself, nobody else need comment.

I started the day doing something but I got lost somewhere. I have to retrace my steps.

@Kachina624 Nah. The pattern is about my "accomplishments".

DH is a good person and I do enjoy making him laugh.

@Free2be And I see his Heath bars in the back of the freezer under the frozen peas. I think I'll hide them on him.

My money is on that that DH is so DEAR he would cook you dinner tonight so you would not have to add that accomplishment to your list. He is a keeper, he laughs at your mishaps. So many would do something else.

Edit: My DH is really a good guy and I didn't want anybody to think unkindly. My wording wasn't the best.

Poor guy has Parkinson's so our humor keeps us in a better place.

I actually got something accomplished today. I took all the pants out of my closet and tried them all on. I donated about 30 pairs of shorts, jeans and sweatpants. Then I moved on to my purses. Donated 11 of them. Might as well clean out the closet since it's going to be another 115 degree day. Then I took a nap.

@cowboy sam Yes, dear Preds would say that!

DIxie cups with the little wooden spoon?? Like this?

We grew up with Hoodsie cups with the little wooden spoons.

Ice cream is my downfall.

@Cakers3

laughter they say is the best medicine! I find we've been "humoring" each other a lot lately since my spouse has been ill.

We kinda know now how to laugh at the "dumb" things I've (we've)done throughout the day!!

Enjoy those moments🌹

After 2 lazy days, I decided to make the dreaded grocery run today.

Mom has been craving salad, so I bought lots of fresh veggies and made a huge one in my Tupperware 20 cup bowl. Filled a big bowl for mom, along with some containers of leftovers, and the bag of things I bought for her at the store. She was happy with the salad, the chili macaroni, and garlic bread.
