A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Brightened my day considerably - I was about to start waving the fifty dollar bill myself, except I didn't have one to wave! Gotta love living on a shoestring, but somehow it all works out, most of the time. Received a payment from a client today that arrived just in time to pay my cell phone bill, which was an urgent matter, since that's the only way Mom and the NH can reach me. Trying to keep my chin up - little blessings like that sure help!
Do the gardeners in your area do snow?
Today, planting is on the schedule/non-schedule because I am taking it easy, having coffee first.
It's Saturday, and whatever you all do on Saturday is okay!
SPRING.
It seems to have arrived as quickly as winter did this time. We had a weird, warm winter, thanks to El Nino, with only about 6" of snow until about 3 weeks ago, when we had 20" in the space of 10 days! Then the temps quickly rose into the 50's and 60's, and it all melted in a matter of 2 days.
So I've been getting out in the yard to clean up the winter debris off and on throughout the day - when I take a break from my work, I go out and pick up branches and shingles (darn it), then clear the dog poo from a section of the yard. Then I go back in to work for a while and then go out and do it again. :-)
The warmer temps and lack of snow is inspiring me to do some deep cleaning in the house too. Have been using 1 or 2 of my "breaks" during the day to venture into the basement to try and clean that up too.
I can't wait to work on the yard some more - it really needs help after 30+ years of simply being mowed every week. No rolling, de-thatching, patching of dead spots...it's a lumpy, bumpy, muddy mess. Needs weed n' feed, rolling and some TLC.
Rest? Rest?!? What's that? No rest for the wicked, right? I must be pretty darn wicked.
Woke up about 7, unheard of, time change helped. Hopefully I will wake up at my usual 5 yesterday, 6 today, to get to work on time.
It is getting so its not that funny anymore, but yesterday was stressful.
Favorite thing today: Allergy medicine and Aleve. 'nuff said.
It is a lazy, rainy day again, hubs wants to bbq. (California style) hamburgers today. Easy dinner, no work for me while I cuddle with a blanket.
Sorry, I know this is supposed to be favorite things thread but glad's story just reminded me of that.
