Day 31
We're off to a great start to the year 2017.
2017. 2017. If I say it enough or write it enough times on checks perhaps the year will soak into my bean and I will KNOW it is a new year.At my age, time flies faster than ever. February is knocking at my door. Reds and pinks, hearts and candy. Maybe some roses and lots of cards.
The 'i luv u' month is near.
So on this last day of the month of January I'll attempt to write out a to do list for February.
1) HELP Mom sort through her closets and thin out her clothing. Mother is a clothes horse. She will be moving in the near future and is working at thinning out her belongings as she will not have the space she has now. She'll go from having 4 closets to having 2. My Dad's clothing will be let go of and hers will be thinned down.
2) Inventory my personal effects.
3) Celebrate 3 grandsons birthdays.
4) Work on organizing RETIREMENT COTTAGE.
5) Celebrate VALENTINES DAY WITH MY SWEETHEART.
6) Send Valentines cards and candy to Loved ones.
7) Furniture shopping for Living room furniture...possibly purchase. Will do LOTS OF LOOKING.
8) Do stretching exercises on the floor.
9) Located my one pounder weights and have them sitting beside my TV chair waiting for me to use them during commercials.
10) Clean chandelier crystals that will be used next year on Christmas decorations and trees. Put away for next Christmas Seasons.
11) AND then some.
12) THINK THAT's ENOUGH FOR THE MONTH.
If I think of anything else will note that.
Is February a special month for you? I always think of childhood valentines. Making a Valentines container to put cards in then take home to read. I really liked the ones that had candy attached. haha. Imagine that CANDY.
I still love the Conversational Hearts to this day.
Holidays and Seasonal Celebrations help ease the dread of really cold weather for me. Looking out the window to see the bare trees has required a labor of love on my part. I love the spring greens. The colder months take some doing appreciating their lack of warmth.
My right foot is healing nicely. Four weeks has passed since I stubbed the toes. I am able to walk. Yesterday a stack of miniature metal pots 'n pans fell on my left foot causing injury and more pain then the right foot. My left big toe and the toe next to it ached so badly last night I could have cried. Pain reliever wasn't working. I woke with less pain, but good grief if grief is good I am in pain. How do I explain?
The toes that were not injured on my right foot were injured on my left foot. I am a mess.
As the essential oils become more and more popular here in my neck of the woods, I can look at the feet chart and see what area of the body I affected by injuring my toes. 'Lord have mercy.'
Also reflexology charts are available.
Gives a whole new meaning to the childhood nursery rhyme, This Little Piggy.
I use to tell my children and grandchildren this as I wiggled their toes one at a time....
"This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef and this little piggy had none.
AND this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home."
I will work at being healthier the older I get. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
All the best,
