More accomplished. The garage is in order, the yard is partially cleaned up. The patio furniture (nice Surprise) buried under a mountain of leaves is cleaned up and in place. Note, I need new cushions for the chairs. Except for replacing the front door screen, the front porch is done until it's warm enough to add hanging plants.
I put solar lights in the flower beds around the front porch. I then took a decorative flower pot, filled it with river rocks, and inserted five solar lights in it. It's in the center of the table in the backyard, surrounded by deep, comfy chairs. Next, I need to run a clothesline from one of the chairs to the back steps so I can sit out there at night without getting lost.
The landlord came over last night and adjusted the new tub faucet. Now I can enjoy hot baths after a week of lukewarm ones. Wonderful stuff.
Albums and CDs are organized, as are DVDs. A big exercise area is set up in the dining area.
Still need to hook up the new washer and dryer. The hoses that came with the washer are cheap, leaking at both ends, even with the rubber washers inserted. Desperate to do some laundry after being here a week, I may use the new garden hose on it until I can get to the hardware store.
Note, garden hose idea did not pan out. Only one end had the right connection. I need to go get washer hoses tomorrow.
Demeter and I took a walk to the Dari Diner last night for a burger and fries. We cut it close, the sun set while we were waiting on our order. She got me home safely in the dark. Pretty great, considering she'd not been in town in years. Still, she dragged me home, literally dragged me home, as fast as she could get me here. We have to work on that.
I lost seven pounds last week. Thought I was eating enough, apparently not. I've been eating from a family size pan of fettucini and meatballs from Mazzios. Great stuff, now I know I need to eat more. Also, I've been eating bananas and clementines, drinking a lot of grapefruit juice. Vanilla wafers are a daily snack.
No junk food in the house makes a big difference. I had three cabinets in the old house devoted to hubby's snacks and cereals. No such things here, other than fruits and ingredients to make things. It can't tempt me if it's not here.
Worn out, rested most of the afternoon and evening. Soaked in the tub until I became pruny. It's been a busy several weeks, and it's catching up. May take it easy for a couple of days.....
