TIRES FOR OUR 'LIL CRUISER. They don't give tires away, do they? Expensive shoes for our 'lil PETE as we needed to get some new tires for our lil car. 🚙 We chose TOPEKA over MANHATTAN for cheaper taxes on the purchase! Buying tires was on the agenda for the SUMMER, so I feel better about staying on a schedule. How's 'bout that...we did it. This Summer, we had the air conditioning overhauled on Pete and now he has new tires.
DATING. ON A DATE WITH MY HUBBY. We still date and I strongly encourage you to do as well as a married couple. Keeping it real. Keeping a healthy relationship.
📰🗞📨 Our day started out by getting the mail.
Putted off to TOPEKA across the beautiful Flint Hills. The weather was on the verge of being overly hot, but as the day wore on, it cooled down to a very pleasant temp. Oh so refreshing.
🐟🎣 LUNCH. A DATE FOR US. Trying to eat fish twice a week and haven't been doing this so we went to LONG JOHN SILVERS for fish, hush puppies and green beans. Had a very quiet meal and then traveled to the TIRE SHOP.
While our 'lil car was getting new tires, I walked over to KOHLs and looked about. Hubby picked me up and then we took advantage of the SENIOR DISCOUNT DAY at God's Storehouse. Purchased some paper, a checked blouse for me, a framed print, and a pair of old earrings that I will add to my jewelry collection.
🚰🍾 Stopped by NATURAL GROCERS for our special bottled electrolyte water. I know I feel better when I am drinking electrolytes in the water. I can tell.
HY-VEE. Cucumbers and celery. They didn't have the other bottled water that we were wanting so we decided to leave TOPEKA, drive over to MANHATTAN on the interstate to the other HY-VEE that we knew had MOUNTAIN VALLEY WATER and purchase some Cranberry tea that I didn't have any of. Tea.
🥢 Hubby was craving Chinese food so we went to a new Restaurant for Orange Chicken and General Tso's. He gets what he wants most of the time when it comes to FOOD and I think he deserves it after all the hard work he is doing remodeling our fixer upper COTTAGE. I also had Crab 🥠 Rangoon. HOME to unload our spoils. The drive was relaxing as the weather was to where we could roll the windows down. Awesome in the low 70s.
The drive was ever so pleasant. The Sun was going down and by now I was exhausted. Time out. I washed a couple of large MASON JARS to hold the cucumbers and celery. We watched an old movie and drifted off to sleep.
SLEPT SUPER WELL. Woke around 7:30 and decided that since the temps are in the low 70s I'd go for a walk at the track. Made my mile and called it good. It made me feel like I had accomplished something after walking. It was a great feeling. Walking a mile is getting easier for me. I may start adding another lap to my mile. Right now doing two miles is too difficult for me. When the temps get milder in September then I will have to decide if I want to walk a mile in the morning and one in the evening. Truthfully this seems like a better way of doing my walking since I'm 7o.
📞 Phoned my Mom and chatted with her.
🥒🫙Washed and prepped the cucs and celery placing them in the mason jars filled with water placing them in the fridge. Hopefully, this will extend their lives. The celery goes limp so fast and the cucumbers aren't keeping well before I get to them. Great snack foods.
💡🔌🚰 Gotta get the City Bill paid at their office. Getting out of the house this afternoon will be a great thing for me.
👚 A load of laundry put in.
🪑 Got the last coat of furniture polish put on the 4th dining room chair. She's drying. Ran behind on this, but now she's done.
🐔 Will fix left-over chicken for supper with a zucchini bake for vegetables.
🖌 Nothing too exciting as I wait for the linen cabinet doors to get painted. This waiting has been difficult. I 😠 start to lose my temper and have to pull back reminding myself that these things take time. More time than I want to give it. sigh. Patience. Stay busy and time will fly.
🧺 In the front Bedroom is a jumbo size basket that I'll move to the Utility room and place on top of the washing machine. One more thing out of the Bedroom.
🛏 Next week, I think I will pull the mattress and box springs out of there so I can work with more floor space around me. It'll make the working in the room easier. Oh Lord, help me get this done.

Onto a new day. Walked a mile at the track. I heated up, but managed to walk with ease without huffing and puffing. Felt pretty good getting this out of the way. I was alone at the track and felt comfortable crying out loud. A great stress reliever. The messes in the house are eating my lunch as some would say. I am low on energy and can't seem to get things in maintenance mood. Every now and then I need to have a good cry. I did.
Now to go to the City Building and pay that monthly bill. Back at the house, the housework awaits me.
