SLOWER DAY AS I NEEDED TIME AT HOME ALONE. Twas nice to have some alone time as busy and on the go as we have been. Hubby had some errands to run so I stayed HOME in my housecoat. Boy, it felt good. I blogged, did laundry, washed some dishes, tweaked some things in the house, wrote out a bunch of bills, took a short nap, got dressed, ate some potato salad, read some mail, sat, watched a movie, ate a light lunch, studied up on blood work I just had done, and my favorite thing today was to spritz the fern plant that hangs from a chain hanging on a porch hook.
A day or so ago, hubby put a chain on the hook and moved the plant from a table to the hook. It looks so nice there. I think it will do better hanging from the porch hook than sitting on the table.
My porch plants are lovely to look at. I sure like them. Our poor 'ole porch is falling apart. It'll be later in the year or possibly next Spring before it gets rebuilt. I have to think about other things while waiting for the rebuild. Prettying up the run down porch helps my mood. Lord, Thank you for this HOME even with all her problems. It's ours.
I had every intention to go walking today, but my feet and body told me to take a day off due to being so sore. I'll listen to my body and try again tomorrow. My feet are retaining fluid and are so swollen. I decided I would massage them to see if the fluid would disappear. I've noticed since I had a hysterectomy about a year ago that my feet have been retaining fluid. I'll need to say something to my doc about this. Who wants swollen feet? Not I.
Yesterday, I wondered through the plant section of MENARDS. It was so peaceful to stroll through the area. When I go through, I visualize in my head how a lovely yard would look with so many different plants and flowers. Their prices are still so high. If they lower the prices, I might purchase a few houseplants.
I'm ready to stay HOME for a few days and putz about tending to the details of making our COTTAGE a better fit. A THRIFT pile is starting again. Hubby will return to grouting the Bathroom tile on the wall. The grout makes a difference in how I like it. It's coming together. Our ceiling tile came in the mail. It's a little busier than I thought, but believe it will be just fine after it is installed.
I shuffled some cardboard packing boxes of dishes and plan on placing the Blue Garland dishes in the bottom of Grandma's hutch. That will remove 6 cardboard boxes out of the Dining room. Looking forward to them disappearing. I'll take each piece out of the boxes and unwrap the paper that has enveloped them for over 8 months. I can't remember when I wrapped them at the big house. It'll be an accomplishment to have them back in the bottom of Grandma's hutch which is actually a sideboard. Counting the number of pieces I have will refresh my mind.
Laundry will be worked on some more. Paperwork. I need to shuffled some large storage boxes that are high up in our closet. I want to place my neatly folded quilts on a top shelf as soon as possible. They have been in the pink bedroom on the Victorian sofa. I wish I had the space to have them displayed in a nice piece of furniture, but that's not the case for now. This move will continue to be a morphing procedure as we go. Keeping it interesting like playing a game.
As for movies, I have seen a few good ones lately.
Blink and start again.
