After 2 days of procrastination its back to the electric grind (is that a dance?). I need to do laundry, can’t until I finish rewiring the laundry room. Actually have to rewire two rooms, all the lighting and several of the outlets. So far today I’ve only managed to intake some caffeine, need more it seems. :rolleyes:

Last week I needed to patch a small hole in the stairway landing surface. It turned into rebuilding the landing from the floor up. Then I needed to rewire the lighting circuit for the stairway. It’s turned into completely rewiring two rooms and the stairway. I need to stop finding small needed repairs. 🤣
Now we want a video of your dance!!😃😉
 
Today is my birthday. We are going shopping for some items for Thanksgiving dinner. Since our hometown flooded about a week ago, many stores are still closed. Some roads got washed away. Shopping might take all day. My two daughters are coming home for Thanksgiving.
Hope your daughters have safe travels! Hope shopping goes smoothly!
 
Today is my birthday
Happy Birthday! I hope shopping doesn't take up your whole day!

Slept 2 hours and 15 minutes last night. Probably something I ate at Church dinner yesterday had MSG or too much sugar. Ate at 12:30 and still no sleep.
Already walked.
Walked dogs.
Second load of laundry in dryer.
Have some vacuum sealing and items to take to shed. Thaw turkey breast.
Clean out one corner of office that is a catch all. I'm tired of dealing with it!
 
Carried the big LiFePO4 battery outside and jump started the second scooter. Ordered it a new battery, next is put em on the trailer and drive them north.
It got wintery fast, I will pass on riding them up :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!🧁🍰🎂
 
Got up, worked out, cleaned up, went to work, met with a woman who works in a gov't building, handed her an envelope, received some information, performed a few tasks for the woman who directs my employment activities, went to the store, bought a smoke box and some wood chips, came home, did some dishes, started making soup for dinner, placed an online order for gun stuff, came to the forum, and my day continues...
 
I'm now tired, and it's not even 8 yet
took care of animals, then baked the cookies, made lunch, cleaned the house. By that time it was time to put the animals up for the night. Supposed to rain a lot so they all went in the barn.
Talked to dad on the phone. He complains that he is old and decrepid and can't do what he used to be able to do . I told him I can already relate LOL. He complains about the weather and tells me I am crazy to move out of Florida ( he hates winter and cold weather)

Talked to daughter on the phone, granddaughter is sick again. They are still coming, she should be ok by then, some stomach bug. That baby sure gets sick a lot but daughter did too at that age. Strangely enough son did not.

Going to bed soon , have to get up early tomorrow again
 
Woke up and got moving. Decided to not spend the day scrubbing the summer kitchen but did wash all my clothes pins. They are still in the oven (drying). Also washed a few other things 😒. Did about 3 loads of laundry and ironing is complete until I do the last load tomorrow. Stew slow cooking in the crock pot for tomorrow’s lunch- already beginning to smell good. Made a double batch of dough for rolls and a double batch for bread. Will be baking tomorrow. Then I have 4 doz cookies to make for Sunday.

Just a quick tip, take the clothes pins out of the oven before baking cookies!! You're welcome!😉
 
Took my truck to the shop. Decided to have them replace driver front rotor to pair with the new rotor on passenger side. had struts put on and they investigated the source of the weird sounds. They said a bunch of rocks fell out when they took stuff apart but that it was still making noises. They can't seem to find anything rubbing but kept it overnight to look at it again to see if they can determine the problem. I'm hoping whatever it is can be fixed. They are supposed to call in the morning.

Changed mom's cannula out and got her food. Still fatigued and had to nap a lot.
 
Up early, got the fire going, it's just at freezing this morning! Very nice outside when I took Bear out! Going to my regular Tuesday job, they had company and have different company coming tomorrow. A few extra beds to change there. I'm going to run by Walmart for a few things before I come home. Going to be nice today, 60° and sunny!
 
Shopping today, need a few more things for Thanksgiving. Plus dropping off some eggs.
Just looked at the damned weather forecast. Looks like our Chistmas market next week might get cancelled if the weather is this bad ( cold , rain, wind, sleet) . I am certainly not going to set up a tent in that sort of weather
Getting started as soon as it gets light with animal care.
 
I guess I must be a bad housekeeper lol, my clothespins are on the clotheline outside and get washed by the rain...I just take them off and put them on the clothes
I have several that stay on the line in case I have something like wet rags I need to hang up for a bit. Otherwise my clothespins are in a small basket I take out in the laundry basket!

I'm dreading having to stop at the store today, I know it will be extra crowded. But I'd rather go today then after Thanksgiving when all the Christmas shoppers are out!!

my son does his laundry and doesn't use them at all, so I have to always tell him to go pick up his clothes when they fly away LOL
 
Slept well, last night! 8 hours and 15 minutes, yay!
First, going to change sheets and flip topper on bed. That should wake me up. Hah
Then walk.
Taking DH to eye appointment later this morning. It's at Walmart, so I will grab some sweet potatoes to dehydrate for dogs.
May go to local Hardware store later if they are having open house.
Cook up home canned potatoes, bell peppers and onions with a little clearance steak I got a few days ago and froze.

I actually thought about you when I got up at 3:30! I thought, "I bet if I call Snappy she'll be up"!! Glad I didn't 😃😃!!

And @sonya123
Mine were on the clothesline in the summer kitchen so smoked. The water was brown and stinky 🤢. I splurged several years ago and got H Kimball’s American clothes pins. They were $2 each. I’m not about to pitch them.
