Positive things I’ve done today

Called up my credit card companies and arranged for a later due date this month, as I won't have money until my new tenant moves in. What a relief!

Read a great book

Saw my Mental Health Aide. Went for lunch. Rented a movie.

Caught up on my bills and banking

Made bread for my Mom.

Did my exercises, took all my meds & vitamins, defurred the couch & washed the cat blankets.

I cooked a whole pot of soup, almost from scratch (I did use some precut veggies I bought at the store). I ate some and poured the rest into my special plastic (no BPA - safe for foods) container that is a square in cross section and very tall in height. It is so convenient for the fridge - in the past, I would pot the pot itself, but it was not tall enough so it did not use fridge space efficiently, and its being round also wasted a lot of space.

I also boiled eggs - I eat hard-boiled eggs and boil a bunch a time and then eat them for several days.

I started preparing the place for my new tenant. All in all, it is has been a good quiet Saturday.

Oh, and I had a good phone conversation with my childhood friend.

What do you use to defur the couch?

I use a small brush with plastic bristles. Here is a bigger version of same:

I have also tried rolling those rollers with sticky sheets, but prefer the brush. I wonder what you use - you seem to know exactly what you are doing and must have been doing it for awhile; I only get a couch earlier this year so I am new to cleaning it.

Made pasta Alfredo for dinner.
To me, this is comfort food

We bought a Eureka Pet express vacuum about 2 years ago-it comes with a power paw gadget & a hair raiser for pets which is what I use the most-its one of those double sided padded brushes that you brush in one direction to pick up the furry fur-on the side is a compartment where you stick it in & it sucks away all the fur-it is totally awesome. Our couch is corduroy & it collects cat fur like a magnet. The brush is great cause you can just take that out & give everything a quick once over without having to drag out the vacuum. Since my hubby & I both have some back & shoulder issues it has been a lifesaver.

I walked a mile in the Race for the Cure.

Yay! Way to go!

Made chicken noodle soup from scratch, and went on two walks

Go me!!

I take and pick up my girls from school everyday, this has been going on for awhile now. Earlier this week I fixed the bathroom sink faucet and it actually worked, most of the time I'm not sucessful, but this time I was. I went to my daugthers basketball game today.

Made breakfast, cleaned the bathroom, took a hot shower & played some board games with my hubby-I kicked his butt.

Made and ate farmers' cheese (yes, I make my own now). Spent some time on PC with my virtual friends. Did a load of laundry and put it away.

Oh, and this!

I used to lug Tide into the laundry room - down the stairs and around the corner.

Then I got an OXO measuring cup and would carry 1/4 cup of detergent (we have HE washers and only 1/4 cup is needed). Still, it was not convenient.

So... today I found a large empty med. bottle with a screw cap, which I did not recycle thinking that a big, clear bottle might come in handy.

Using a funnel, I poured 1/4 of Tide into the bottle, screwed on the cap tightly and threw the bottle into the laundry hamper, on top of dirty towels. In the laundry room, I emptied the bottle into the detergent receptacle. Then, at home, I closed the empty bottle and threw it into the box with Tide, so that next time it will be there for me.

I always get happy when I can think of little things that make life's chores less tedious. So that's my major feat for today!

I taught a co-worker how to do something on the
computer system at work

I have a migrane so I called in sick
I usually try to go into work, and end up crying for the rest of the day
So, I am treating myself better today

Haircut, oil change, and appt for tire with a nail in it.

Got up early, called my Mom this morning & had a really nice talk, washed the dishes.

Hopefully the oil change was on the car and nothing to do with the haircut?

I had lunch with my former coworker.

Bought a friend an ice cream waffle cone

I thought about doing "things" but I didnt. So there you go. My positive deed for the day.

Don't mind me.

Swear I've just gone nuts.

Weirdo.

Ignore me.

Roll your eyes at me.
