- Boiled the coffee percolator dry. (I still haven't peeked inside. I guess we'll know the status when I make coffee in the morning.)
- Felt my new meds kick in (better living through pharmaceuticals)!
- Cut and fed raw venison to the dogs twice.
- Did $90 worth of work for Chicken Mama's Graphic & Web Design.
- Checked 5 of my broody hen's discarded eggs to see which weren't fertilized and which had wee babes in them. (Five was all I could handle for today.)
- Vacuumed every nook and cranny of the stairway and repaired the places where the rug was coming up.
- Put a dead duck (Miss Black Duck with the White Bib) on top of the car so that the dogs wouldn't get to her until I could drive out tomorrow and dump the carcass. (Found her dead in the poultry yard this AM.)
- Battled with the washing machine which decided to stop draining water. (While the king-sized down comforter was in it.)
- Took down one load of wash and hung another on the line.
- Got the down comforter dried and fluff, fluff, fluffed.
- Stripped the bed and put on line-dried sheets. (Aaaah, can you smell 'em?) Oh, and the newly clean down comforter.
- Vacuumed up many flies in the bedroom.
- Cleaned the monster tub upstairs, that toilet, and vacuumed that bathroom's floor. What's the only bad thing about that monster-sized tub we had to have? Yup, scrubbing it.
- Transplanted two big clumps of lupines and one large clump of Sweet William from the new field garden that my dad plowed up a couple of days ago (Thanks, Daddy!).
- Wore my headnet during all of the above-mentioned outside tasks.
- Got disappointed that Tom's 1:00 interview went extremely well but that they have to wait for June's profits / losses to come in before they can decide whether or not they can fill this position.
- Picked ticks off both Maisy & Tucker.
- Annnnnnd . . . well, that's enough, right?!

Gee, sorry you didn't have anything to do today. I guess it must have been a really boring day. Anyway, hopefully tomorrow will bring more challenges!
ReplyDeleteLove to you guys!
Marty & Debi
Hope to see you soon! And we'll send pictures of Cathy & Lee's wedding this weekend.
So . . . what are these new meds you're on? And can I have some?
ReplyDeleteUncle M,
ReplyDeleteHey, you're going to their wedding? Yayy! It's in Vegas, right? Is her son gonna give her away? DO send pictures!!
Mama,
I think it's also a combination of my body FINALLY getting healthy and returning to where it should be (instead of feeling like the 80-year old body it's felt like for so long)!
I didn't realize some healthcare providers are still prescribing cocaine! Settle down, woman!
ReplyDeleteThere aren't enough meds in the WORLD to make 41 degrees and a wind chill of 27 on June 8 acceptable in any way, shape or form.
ReplyDeleteI can't BELIEVE that none of the famous depressives throughout history lived in Duluth.
This town will break your heart.
