Different tasks.

Yesterday and today, physically exhausted and too tired to prepare a meal. All those wonderful salad veggies (purchased on Monday) but no energy!! More outdoor projects await my time (and waning energy) because so many things need attention while the weather is pleasant. Brief break time?! ~~ I’ve emptied another spray can of black paint. Buy more?

.

A sixth cousin contacted me today (via email). It “made my day” because,  otherwise, a “no gratification workday”!! Four hours of sleep last night and six hours outdoors working on projects. It has been an absolutely gorgeous day!! Because perfect weather, I kept pushing myself to get things done. I lost count of the number of items I spray painted black. All morning on one load of laundry because the washing machine wouldn’t finish after “unbalanced load.”  I rearranged the clothes but the old washing machine was temperamental. I had to start over two more times.

Remember? Three years ago, a Christmas “bottle tree” created from one chrome display rack.

The view from my windows–and my computer.

Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard…

The weather is pleasant so “the old lady”  can drive into Livingston for groceries.

.

Well, the cupboard and refrigerator are full!! One-hundred-seventy-one dollars spent on good wholesome food. I love Fritos but “no Fritos.” I love cookies and candy but refrained from purchasing them. GOOD STUFF, fruit and veggies.

Last night I experienced a very vivid dream. Usually we awaken and we forget the details about a dream?? Strangely, my dream was so very vivid I remembered every detail! I saw the sheets of test papers; I saw the questions and I couldn’t answer them. I anguished over the questions and struggled to think of the answers. I failed the test!! Just before I awakened I suddenly believed I had the answers. Awake… I struggled (unsuccessfully) to go back to sleep so I could correct the test. True story!!

.

A perfect afternoon to work on outdoor projects. The “burn pile” was been eliminated since my landlady prohibited me from burning. I’ll pile fallen limbs in the “woodsy” area in the backyard.

“If only” every day could be like this and an invitation to “work” in, and enjoy, the yard.

Currently,we have a maximum number of residents in the RV Park. “We” are hosting individuals enrolled for Escapees “Boot Camp.” People with power do not want visitors to see the sign(s). ~~ Fortunately, warmer weather so I dressed appropriately and ventured outdoors for several projects.  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂

.

Much warmer. “The old lady”  can tackle some indoor projects versus sitting (at the computer) twelve inches from the space heater. Oh boy, oh joy!

.

I lied; I’ve been an icicle all day!! I’m sitting close to the space heater and I’m drinking scalding hot tea.
