CAN IT BE FRIDAY ALREADY??? This week flew right on by. Maybe we'll watch a movie tonight with popcorn.
Just got back from a very busy day. Hubby edged the lawn this morning and spent time sweeping the sidewalk. Just a little more to do tomorrow. The temps were too HOT at 102. He came inside as I was sorting through papers. Hallelujah. I made huge progress on this paper thing.
The large yellow envelopes I had planned on using to help itemize subjects turned out to have rusty clasp. Not wanting to use these, we'll need to make a special trip to Manhattan to get some at Staples. Also need sheet protectors. Then I can continue creating more order.
We went to the COTTAGE to work today. I had planned on painting the pantry, but didn't have the energy to be so physical so I sat and shredded papers as Hubby worked at gutting the bathroom. He managed to get the old jacuzzi tub out of the bathroom. I managed to shred papers and more papers. After he got the tub outside, he was resting and I went to the closet to look to see if there was anything in there that I could gather to donate.

A large box up on a tall shelf got away from me and fell on my head. I tried to stop it from falling, but down it went and landed on the floor behind me. It hurt some, but I managed to go through it as I sat in the TV room. I suppose my back, neck and head will feel some discomfort tomorrow. Ouch. It didn't knock any sense into me.
It was early enough to go to Manhattan to Staples because I wanted to get large envelopes and sheet protectors. As we walked up to the door at Staples, the clerk said they were closed. His help quit on him and he couldn't keep the store open. Oops. Off to Walmart to find out that their envelopes and sheet protectors were not a bargain. Their prices made my jaw drop.
Soooooo, off we drove to Topeka. First we grabbed Raising Cain Chicken to eat as I drove across the prairie. It was HOT outside, but other than that we had a nice trip to Topeka. I guess this isn't my day to find envelopes and sheet protectors as we walked into Sams we were told the store was closing in 6 minutes. I asked the clerk when did they start closing at 8pm and she said since Co vid. I had it in my head we had until 8:30. So very quickly we shopped finding yellow envelopes, but no sheet protectors.
Fueled the car.
Next was OFFICE MAX and they had the protectors. Felt like we finally had a busy and successful day with Hubby edging the lawn, me shredding more papers, getting the old tub out of the COTTAGE and purchasing envelopes and sheet protectors all in one day.
When arriving HOME, I washed a Mason jar and filled it with sweet cherries. There was room in the fridge for the jar. No plastic for storing the cherries. I filled a glass jar with a honeybee on it from Dollar General with organic raw honey. Getting these little details taken care of makes me smile. Finally my little Kitchen is taking on a different look with the use of glass jars.
