Day 59: Washing Machines.


My daughter's washing machine has a blockage. So it looks like I will be doing double duty with mine until she gets it sorted out. seeing as she has 3 kids, she doesn't want to let it build up. Especially because Hurricane was sick last night and vomited over everything.

Weirdly washing is one of my favorite chores to do. Everything goes in dirty and comes out smelling and looking so clean.

On the bright side it gives me time to read in between loads. I'm still reading, Sherrilyn Kenyon's: Dark Hunter series. I forgot how much I enjoy these books. Well worth the re read.

I have a mad headache today, and my back is twinging a touch, but nothing to really complain about.

Day 58: More Cleaning


 Why is it on days when you're as tired as all get go... the cleaning chores seem to take freaking forever to do.

1> I cleaned the air fryer again... one of the hardest things to clean. I have one that looks like a mini oven. I got most of it clean, but I'll have to do it again soon. If you all know of something that is an easy hack, feel free to let me know.

2> I also wiped over all my pantry doors. they seem to get grubby handprints on them all the time. annoying as hell.

3> I cleaned out my plasticware and glassware drawers, so everything sits in their just a little bit neater.

4> I also had to buy new frying pans. I'm not saying I forgot to turn off the stove... but I did burn the a*se end out of my big frying pan. Lesson learned always check the stove.

Day 57: Sore Finger and other stuff

 
Don't you just hate it when you hurt yourself and you have no clue at all of how it happened. Today I realized the tip of my right index finger is as sore as hell. And why is it when you have something like that you are always bumping, and or, touching it and making it feel worse than it already is... Yeah, well that's my life today. Well, actually, it started hurting late yesterday afternoon.

I'm going to go and see about new tyres for my car while I'm downtown today... That's my big chore. The ones I have now are wearing out fast.

I also have to Pick up mum's medication from the chemist and fit in a bit of grocery shopping somewhere. Full agenda. I'm trying to get it all done today, because on Friday I have Cyclone sleeping over, and then on Saturday I have Hurricane sleeping over. Monsoon is going to sleep over at her favourite Aunt's (Second cousin) house. Friday I will be either watching Wednesday, or Stranger Things... and on Saturday; it will more than likely be Captain Underpants, or Buzz Lightyear. I'll have to make sure my Kindle is fully charged.

I'm not sure I'll get any writing done on either of those days... But that's okay as it will give me more time to read Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Day 55: Happy Birthday Lacey

 

Happy birthday, Lacey. I may have forgotten how old you are, but at least I remembered your birthday.

In other news I'm still working on Iron Horse MC 1: Just this side of crazy. though at some point I may swap back to Dark Frost 1: Accidentally Yours. I'll see how I'm faring. 

My cold is coming back, and this time around I have the cough to go with it, which in turn makes my ribs as sore as hell; and has brought my headache back.

My big chore for today is to fold up all the laundry and put it away, and wash whatever is in the basket. I'm trying not to let it all build up again. because it's so exhausting when I have to do laundry all day long.

I probably won't get any yardwork done. Not when I'm feeling like crap. My yard is such an odd shape that it makes it so hard to keep tidy; and parts are on so much of a tilt that I have fallen down embankments way more than I should. Pain in the ar*e. in saying that though, I'm slowly getting it down.

Day 54: Sneezing & Other Things

 

A Random picture just because I think it's cute. I have a ton of them; so, I don't have to have the same picture twice on my blog this year.

This morning, I woke up sneezing again. Everything feels so blocked up. and now I have a headache again. I wish I could sneeze quietly, but alas, I'm one of those sneezers that the neighbours can most likely hear.

My big chore for today is to clean the kitchen. except the air fryer, because I will be buying the cleaning products on Wednesday. I'll just give that one a quick wipe out.

I started typing up Iron Horse MC 1: Just This Side of Crazy... It was the bad dream. My Main characters are indeed Mabel Jones & Stone Jacobs... the dream guy being tortured is Pheonix (Nix) Jacobs... Stone's twin brother. Slightly getting changed as I type it up.

Though right now, I'm having a cup of coffee, because I'm freaking freezing again. I'm obviously not quite over my cold. I'll take it as easy as I can today, in the hopes that I don't get any worse. In case I have never told you... I really hate being sick.

On that note, I'll end off... Catch you all tomorrow.

Day 53: Household Chores

 

Today, I finally got the bedding all changed and washed. Once it's dry, I'll fold it up and put it all away. It was my big chore for today. I'm glad I got it done.

I did more whipper snipping and mowing. I'm getting satisfaction out of seeing it all come down. I had a chat with my neighbour while doing along the fence line.

I worked some more on the bad dream MC story. It seems to be getting more in depth. and becoming more interesting for me to write... I'll probably keep it.

I started watching Warehouse 13 again. only because I can. I've always loved that series... funny as hell. I love all the characters. Looks like after this I'll have to watch Eureka (which is a spin off).

Today, we got our internet back. Six very long days. So, I spent the afternoon adding all my handwritten blog post here. At least now I'm all caught up again. 

I need to give myself a haircut. Let's hope that my arm/shoulder feels agreeable to moving the way I need it to while clippering my hair. I get headaches if it grows past a certain length.
