Little treats, and overdoing.....
Jan. 27th, 2025 04:52 pmPutting gold stars in my bullet journal does make me happy when I clear a day of tasks. I've also not been trying to do too much though my weekend would say otherwise.
Friday was our off day. I had to work a bit to make up an hour I had missed due to something or other I don't recall now. I worked, updated my work goals to something more than "I will not kill stoopid coworkers or managers" and then I sat and watched tv and worked on my shawl. I got through the first full chart and had even transitioned through to the next color before I was finished for the day. I also played some star dew. Mel was at the dojo working on the new flooring and then headed off after he came back to do actual martial arts. I had my massage at 5, I thought...but I was wrong and got to do my shopping before my massage. So I hit ulta for an eye cream I missed in my online order, hit ross looking for a new duffle for the boy, got cat food all before my appt. The massage was lovely and after hitting the gym twice and pushing things it felt great. Though my hamstrings were ANGRY AF.
Got home and the boys had hot sammies for dinner. Mel was effing zonked and went to bed early since he had to drive to prescott in the AM. I didn't go to bed too late but was up at 730am due to my brain being on. So I played star dew, attempted a very hard quest and missed it by like a hair. Ugh. But all okay. Then Benton and I got our errands on. We headed to Ross to return the pants I bought him (too tight in the knee for movement, fair complaint). We then had to get lunch so we hit Sonic which was a much better experience than we had in NM the previous weekend. Then it was a home depot trip to get things for boffers and I wanted to check out the Ryobi stuff. I bought myself a battery fan attachment and a box to keep all the Ryobi stuff in, I also got us small tool bags for teh lag bolts for the tents. We then went to At Home to get a lampshade for his dino/volcano lamp. I'm going to reverse it and paint it like the volcano plume. We then hit Dollar Tree for pool noodles and then checked in at the Girls Estate Sale before we got home.
We then got the xmas light off the house and packed up. Then we got the blankets from guest all put into bins and back in the trailers. My family room is nice an clean is now. Then I went and took a box of kids books to bookmans (got $9 in trade for the 10 books they took) and then dropped the leftovers and a trunk of stuff off at Goodwill. Then I decided that I didn't want to cook and grabbed pizza at Papa Murphy's to cook. Their vegan cheese isn't too bad and pizza would be good when Mel got home from prescott. We had dinner, I played video games and just relaxed. Mel got home about 730 and was tired but not too tired since he only fought rapier but he had a good time.
Benton had made a few pretty cool boffers which was also good.
Sunday I slept in and then had coffee and pizza for breakfast. Mel was making waffles later. I got my undercut trimmed up, got my eyebrows done, hit the liquor store, and then costco. Dropped things off from costco and then drove to pick up a few more things for Wander and dropped those off. I also managed to get soem of the embroidery supplies I need for Duchess Cassandra's dress. Which was good cause the fabric and patterns arrived today from her and I have to have them back to her by March 1st. I got home and then Mel and I headed back to the Girls to show him a cool old drafting table..its huge but well made and if we had space...maybe but he did pick up a 1900 rocking chair for 26$ including tax. Its his porch chair now. Then I made dinner of chicken coconut curry. It turned out great. I also made some cocktails and over indulged so I woke up at 5am with a killer hangover. So been dealing with that but why not, its monday.
I did finish my first book of the year #1 is The Gospel of Loki. I liked it but not enough to read the rest of the series. I'm going to have a hard copy and a soft copy going for books so I can read on the treadmill. So I've got "Killer Cocktails" for hardcopy and I think I'm going to read "Golden Enclaves" for my ebook. All good.
But today I managed to sort all of the paperwork on the piano and in my studio into 1) to be filed and 2) to be dealt with tomorrow and 3) tax prep. The rest went into the trash. Woot. I also got the holiday cards ready and will drop them at the post office tonight. Yes, they are late but ya know what? Its still january so meh.
