SLEPT IN. Was exhausted. Tired all day.
After I got up and going, I managed to move one of the old oak Morris Chairs into the Living room. These are heavy pieces of furniture. This took some doing for me to pick it up and carry it to the Living room through the maze of boxes scattered about so when I managed to get it moved, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
We have two of these old chairs. The other one is a little bigger than this one. A female chair and a male chair. Hopefully we will haul these chairs to the storage unit today and have them out of the COTTAGE for now.
With being so cramped in here, it makes the settling in more laborious than I ever imagined. Having a small fit concerning the items in this cottage.
It is a slow process getting settled in, but I feel like I got something done by moving the Morris chair before heading out the door for the day.
We got around to go thrifting in TOPEKA. LUNCH, thrifting, some groceries and back HOME. Quick trip if you can call it that. Disappointed that I did not get a Iced Green Tea from STARBUCKS. Three attempts were made to get one, but the shoppes were closed. Seems like they are in some kind of dispute about Unions.
That's not good. Any who, I will miss them.
At God's Storehouse I purchased a bright red out doors quilted vest for $5.20. Looks BRAND NEW and so very soft. On bitter cold days like today, it came in very handy. My winter coat is too heavy to wear while shopping indoors. I was wearing a sweatshirt so the vest slipped right on and I was comfortable.
I picked up a large white bowl made from ITALY. Not sure what I will do with it, but in time I will figure this out.
A couple of cook books.
Quaint illustrations in the book.
Should be entertaining to thumb through this one.
I may fill this bag with plasticware, napkins, salt/pepper, paper plates and cups then place the bag inside one of my Longaberger Picnic Baskets. CUTE.
Quick trip to Natural Grocers for sugar-free ketch-up, eggs, extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil. When checking out, the clerk gave us a free shopping bag and a can of tuna.
Off to SAMS for coffee pods, coffee creamer, grass fed ground beef and cottage cheese. Not a whole lot to buy, but thought we'd best get this done before another round of SNOW blows in.
The TOPEKA roads were still snow packed making the ride rough.
SHORT SHOPPING TRIP. Back HOME to get the mail. Magazine in the box. COUNTRY SAMPLER FARMHOUSE STYLE. Will be fun to look through it tonight.
Tis the middle of the week and I am not where I thought I would be with the BLUE WILLOW CHINA placed back into the china cabinet. Boxes are full of the pieces. Good thing about this is I know where they are now grouped together.
I should be emptying the boxes by Thursday. Crack a whip and get this done.
THE MESSES AROUND HERE ARE GETTING TO ME. Take a deep breath and count to ten. Everyday we get SOMETHING DONE, but the overall process is eating my lunch.
It doesn't help that it is bitter cold outside.
I believe that saying FAILURE TO PLAN IS A PLAN TO FAIL.
Think things through. Pray and go from there.
