What Are You Doing Today?

[Yvonne Smith]

We are supposed to get some rain today, and it has sprinkled a little, so hoping for more, but not a heavy thunderstorm. In any case, I have plenty of things to do inside the house today.
Bobby put some new shelves in the pantry closet, so I am going to work on organizing things on those shelves today.

The only definitive thing on my list is to take my garbage and recyclables to one of the county drop-off centers, and drop some Amazon delivery boxes off to a friend's business (reuse is better than recycle.) Other than that, I might install the tune up parts for my weed eater and do some trimming.

I need to run to the grocery store to pick up a couple of things. Then I'll spend the rest of the afternoon obsessing about what to pack for the weekend at our daughter's. I am so dreading a 6-hour car trip but she has been nagging us to come for months, and she has special plans for Father's Day so away we go.

Marie says seems like y'all are getting things done. Jake

I went to one of the bigger farmers market this morning. I bought a beautiful head of red leaf lettuce, fresh green beans, and sweet carrots. I also bought a package of two turkey legs. Plus, some blueberries and blackberries. I almost bought some beets because they are so sweet and good when cubed and roasted, but I did not purchase any today because I can get carried away buying fresh produce, when it all looked as good as it did today.

I love fresh veggies that still have some snap or crunch to it. The one vender who sells the lettuce, beans, carrots, and beets; etc. always has amazing fresh produce. Now, I can’t decide if I will have a big bowl of steamed green beans to eat for supper or a big delicious salad.

The local farmers market was a total bust. Plain cookies $3+ each, unimpressive cinnamon buns $20 for four. I did not even look at the breads. Mostly junk such as oils, cards, dustables. No vegetables!
Sunshine is painting more rebar for plant stakes and add pieces of hose painted red to the tops to make them safe.

Other than crawling under a renter’s house to fix a water leak, I tried out a new pressure washer Yvonne got from her reviewer’s program from Walmart. Can’t beat “free” for a Father’s Day gift !

The machine is lightweight, has a digital pressure interface on it and 4 snap-on pressure tips and does a derned good job !
Do note that the test surface was “suggested” by Yvonne 2 days before it was delivered so being the gentleman that I am, I took the suggestion to heart and absolutely did pressure wash the back steps within about an hour or so after it was delivered.
And….since I still stink even after a Hot shower after coming out from under that house, I’m temped to get naked in the back yard and have Yvonne stand back about 5 feet and test out the foaming attachment and then pressure wash me.
I digress…
After I was finished, Yvonne took her “proof” pictures of the steps and I wrote a review so she could post the whole shebang on the Walmart site.

Now, as to the rest of the day, I don’t plan on doing much else today except maybe a small workout but to use the axiom developed by mankind a few millennia ago, “I’m old and don’t feel like doing much else”.
I should feel younger by Monday so maybe it’ll be the other axiom: “ today the steps, tomorrow the world”.

Well, as of yesterday afternoon, I have a shiny new 'For Sale" sign in my front yard. Now comes the wait for a buyer.

My lady friend was moved to a different facility yesterday afternoon, at her request. She is officially in rehab for the next 3 weeks, and then a determination will be made as to what level of care is appropriate. I visited her this morning and she is in good spirits.

Now I'm just waiting on the real estate folks to show up so I can put my house on the market, assuming the market value is enough to make it worthwhile.

Where will you go from this house?
Nevermind, I caught up on reading responses.

I will listen to an old friend whine for an hour on the phone. She turned from a trilingual executive assistant on top of things into an old woman with perpetual mystery ailments her body is self curing. It is a crying shame!
Got extensive instructions from a friend on how a neighbor should deal with her daughter’s hair problems. Cheer leader! That will take a while to work through with her.
Experiment with brioche hot dog buns.

I plan on laying low today. I am not a happy camper at all and could tare a person's head off today without remorse! Horrible night until after 3:30 am finally asleep. Up at 7. Sick and tired of family issues, and never hearing info that is needed a whole bunch of things. I am gonna skip all my other rants and just say.. I don't plan on doing more than reclining and going to the bathroom!

Been there/done that. Try to not brood. And if you figure out how to do that, let me in on it.

Small change. Clean up kitchen fire.

Getting ready to go to a Father's Day "seafood boil" at his son's house. I'm really looking forward to it....shrimp, crab, crayfish, corn, potatoes, I made some cole slaw and we're bring beer....very important. Must have beer. Ice tea won't do at a seafood boil.

My older brother came to visit today. His kids live out of state and they all sent gift cards to my brother for Father’s Day to different eateries. Bro and his wife, decide to go cruising today and eat their way through the day; starting with breakfast at IHOP. Afterwards they came to visit us for ahwile.
