I Actually Accomplished a Lot

This morning (Monday) I started filling the shelves of my new large bookcases.  I also cleaned out the bottom of my bedroom cupboard and moved my small filing cabinet and a few other items in there.  I also started cleaning out the corner in my bedroom where my third shelf system will be added.  Ryan said he would be back one day this week to put it together for me.  I may hire him to do a few other things for me; odds and ends that I can’t do and Kevin doesn’t have time for.  We shall see.

Tuesday morning I headed for Tigertown.  My first stop was Books-A-Million.  They did not have any of the books I was looking for.  Guess I’ll try Amazon.  Next stop was Petco for Penny’s food.  Bought a month’s supply.  On to Target.  I wanted to get several baskets for my shelves to put my yarn inside.  Of course, they come in several sizes so I didn’t buy any.  I am now going to measure before I buy.  I did buy one book at Target that was on my list.  I by-passed Hobby Lobby J  Stopped at Great Clips for a haircut.  Finally found someone to cut my hair like I want.  I will remember her.  Drove to Kroger for a few supplies, filled the car with gas, and headed home.  Now I get to put away groceries.  FUN FUN FUN

Started work on a new set of Christmas ornaments.  I am making them in sets of three; each one a different color/thread. 

It was still 100 outside at 7:30 tonight so I didn’t pull any weeds.  Sure will be glad when the temp gets below 90.  I will get some outside work accomplished then.

Okay, it’s Wednesday.  This morning I was up bright and early so I could go to Columbus and have blood drawn.  Dr. Miller ordered quite a few tests.  My appointment with him is next Wednesday, and I sure hope they have some answers!

After I arrived home, and had breakfast, I started working on cleaning out the area where my third set of shelves are going.  I sure have a lot of junk!

Okay.  The corner is cleaned out, and I have made a mess in a few other places.  Some of the items are going to go on my new shelf, some under the bed, some in the Landmark yard sale, and some I don’t know.  Finally got the bed cleaned off where I stacked everything while cleaning out the corner.  I can go to bed tonight now.

I also emptied two plastic totes with all my yarn and have stacked it on the shelves.  I tried to color code it as best I could.

Thursday – finally not in the donut hole.  We have had two quick rain showers this afternoon.  Woo Hoo!  I’ve been working on my family tree and Christmas ornaments.  A really busy day.

Talked to Brian this afternoon.  My computer has been making some strange noises.  I really don’t want to buy a new one.  Hate the thought of changing to Windows 8 or 10. I like Windows 7 and if I change most of my programs won’t transfer over and my printer won’t work.  He gave me a few suggestions.

Tried to watch the debates tonight, but that didn’t work.  We had some really bad storms come through and, of course, the television went out.

It is now Friday, and apparently the storms also knocked out all land line phone and internet service.  Television is working but nothing else.  I don’t know how to act without the internet. Guess I’ll find something else to do.  Maybe work on my family tree book and/or Christmas ornaments – after lunch that is. J

Yep, that’s what I did.  Still no internet or landline.  Worked on my family tree book and Christmas ornaments.  Also did a little reading.  Talked to the people at AT&T.  Told me they were so busy it would be Monday before they could get to my problem.  Isn’t that nice!

Got a little more housecleaning accomplished today (Saturday).  I finished the kitchen and bathroom.  Now it’s just a matter of keeping up until it’s time to houseclean again.  Maybe in 1917 if I have the time J

I received a call on Sunday morning from Luther at AT&T.  He was on his way to check out my phone/internet problems.  He worked for about two hours, and everything is working now.  Seems lightning struck!
