MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WEDNESDAY

A COUPLE OF QUILTS of mine that I leant for table coverings will be taken to the laundro-mat to be washed in their uber size wash machines in cold water.  The dirty areas that need to be removed will be sprayed with SHOUT first and allowed to soak into the area before tossing into the machines.

This means a special trip to a different community to use the machines at $6.oo a load.  I have great faith that they will wash up nice and be returned HOME clean and fresh before folding them in a special way.  Gosh, I like quilts.  Homebody here.  

A trip to Manhattan is in the works.  I need to take my wedding ring to a jeweler to look at the prong holding the diamond to see if he can repair the broken prong.  Hubby needs a new pair of tennis shoes.  We need to tour the fitness facility that we will be going to for our next phase in this health journey.  I need to go look at glasses frames and make a trip to the post office to mail a package.

Not sure I can get this all done in a day.  May have to break it up into two days.  Which is doable.  My energy level is lower than I like and I tire out faster than I like.  When I am HOME after a busy day out, the chores don't get done.  It's either a day out or a day at HOME.  I have challenges doing both on the same day.

Next thing I will know is it will be the week-end.  Blink.

Tuesday was a full day for us.  Went to the Post Office to mail some bills.
Drove over to TOPEKA for labs to see where our A1C and lipids are.  So glad I know about ordering labs and going to QUEST DIAGNOSTICS for test.  Out of pocket expenses is doable.
Breakfast at FIRST WATCH.  Omelet with turkey.  Had a Kale Tonic for energy.  
Thrifted at GOD'S STOREHOUSE for winter sweaters and depression glass plates.  20% off for Seniors.  Grins.  Every penny helps.  
Iced Tea Break at Hy-Vee. 
MENARDS to purchase a few more plastic storage tubs, a t-shirt, and a bracket for pantry shelf.  While we were there, I wanted to check their prices for cedar fencing pickets for building a backyard fence.  That was interesting.  Overheated and needed to sit down.  I may purchase 50 pickets a month for a year until we have enough for our backyard.  Tadaah.  Where there's a will, there's a way.

When did Long John Silvers partner up with CHEESECAKE FACTORY???  
LUNCH at LONG JOHN SILVERS and it was here that I splurged on CHEESECAKE FACTORY Chocolate Cheesecake.  Oh my.  I took care of my chocolate fix.  This is my splurge of splurges.  Back on the wagon. 

NOTO DILLIONS for vegetable/fruit stash.  Purchased boxed soups for my week long soup marathon.  Prepping for a week long program.
THEN to St. Marys to pick up red popcorn and a special order of 4 packages of Scottish Oatmeal. 
HOMEWARD BOUND in 91 degree weather.  SUMMER IS HERE. 
I was tired.  Rested before tidying the inside of the fridge to house the newly purchased goods.

Movie tonight.  Hoping to sleep better tonight as I need the rest.

Glancing out the kitchen window proved to be a treat as a red cardinal was perched on the neighbor's fence.  The color contrast between the red and the greenery of nature was stunning.  I stared at him for awhile and it was as if he knew I was admiring his beauty. 

MIDDLE OF THE WEEK and busy as ever.  Best enjoy the day as it is where I am at.

GOD bless you,
