Slice of Life - What are you up to today?

[BlackCurtains]

Ooh, orange! Can't wait to see them

Chores today. Kitchen needs cleaned and dishes washed. Bathroom and bedroom need the garbage taken. I want to shower and change the sheets on the bed too. Changing my sheets is very difficult and I've felt so bad emotionally and physically I didn't put them on the last time I showered. My bed is against the wall, so I have to get on it to reach the corners that face that way. Also I need to use sheet straps otherwise I pull them off the corners. Putting them on is always a battle.

Needed more hair & my fave was out of the colour I need most. Ordered some new colours from another seller who is also local...
Did some more dishes & finished the cake. Have Easter snacks to hack through now. Going to do the yellow dye today...
Also sorted out my Phonies. With the ones who can become Ponies relocated, I had room for the rest. One problem: the positions I had to get in to sort that shelf (it's so low down!!!). Was a struggle to get down & a struggle to get up...

Go easy with the sheets BC!!!

I know how that is! The last time I had to sit on the floor for something, I didn't know if I'd be able to get back up.


My plans for today are on hold because of rain. I wanted to go out today and run some errands and go see my mom. I might still be able to do that later, but it rained all day yesterday too, so who knows. Instead I'm going to make more phone calls. I need to call the bank and see what's required for me to be a signer on my mom's account. Need to call the imaging place and make sure they have an oversized or open MRI before I go all they way there. Call the police back and ask some more questions about the property my niece has of ours. Have to call and set up my lab appointment before I see my doctor. And I'm waiting for a call from someone about housing options for my mom and I.

I think that's all. That's a lot

ETA: And I'm done That wasn't so bad. Now I can play my game.

Had enough of the red I need to do a partial root, so did that & another one first ie: Baby Sky Rocket & Baby Sweetie. They are both done now & their bodies are a close match to their mothers. I'm quite pleased with them. I have a couple more to root today while I wait for the hair order & that red...
The yellow dye worked well enough on the Ponies I wanted yellow, but the orange is a bit too dark (probably because of how bright the pink was) for my liking. So will have to make that Pony a unique one too... I was hoping for a Baby Party time but oh well...
Went to Coffee morning & got food bits & electric. Quiet, but saw my Easter pal & her fellow.
Didn't knit all yesterday, but did a little basic crochet.
Going to have to bake again soon...

BC the weather has been good to me so far when I've been out, but that could change... Here's hoping with everything xxx

Just looking for the perfect wig and pair of eyes for a bjd I've told myself I'm definitely NOT buying..

(And also getting ready to go to the pharmacy to pick up my dogs medicin).

[BlackCurtains]

This morning I have a lab appointment to get bloodwork done. When I come home I need to do some serious chores. I've let the house get messy.

I've decided to sell all the rat stuff I bought. Hopefully I can make back what I spent since it's all brand new and never used. I'll use Facebook Marketplace.

Got another one done & dusted with hair. Need to hair another today & start painting the next one I have hair for & know who she is.
Knitted a little, crocheted a bit, & updated files a LOT!!! I mean a LOT!!! As in stayed up till 3am at least a lot!!! All the Customs I've done over the last couple of weeks AND the newest HQG1Cs needed to go in. And I STILL have another file to do!!!
Need to sort card in the kitchen again...
Side note: I love the mods of my fave server!!! They get problems gone so quickly!!!

BC hope the appointment goes well. Eat well after the bloodwork, & do what you can on chores without overstraining xxx
Destiny lol I think you are getting it & why not??? Treat yourself xxx (Treat your dog too)

[BlackCurtains]

Thanks I had some yogurt when I got home and it made my stomach achy. Like really?? Yogurt?? Having gastroparesis is not fun.

Yeah, I didn't get all the chores done. I've been so tired lately. Even if I can get some sleep, I'm still tired. I have a lot of things that cause fatigue but man, this is ridiculous.

Today I'm going to see my mom and pick up my new glasses. I need to go to the bank again too but I think I'll do that later.

[Ponybookworm]

Sleep went wonky again...
But I got stuff done at least!!! I couldn't find the veg burgers I liked so I ground my flax & then got a batch made up. Ate two & froze four. I think they're my best so far, partly due to flax, partly due to flour mixed shortcrust style with butter added to the rest, partly due to air-frying the veg before adding. I also gave it time to do, & if it felt like it needed more, it got.
Also rooted the next Pony, & my Carnival red & other hair arrived yaiy!!! Thank heavens for UK hair suppliers!!! The basic crocheting has mostly been aran rugs so far, trimming them with eyelash yarns. I've sorted a bunch of them into their buildings, as well as all the knitted blankets I made to use up yarn scraps. I still have three rugs to trim & two more to make (started on one of them).
I also want tortillas, & going to get the ingredients I like prompted a spice cupboard sort-out. I had two unidentified jars in there & cleaned out their contents. One smelt like aniseed, so that went, like why do I want that??? Others were integrated into one jar instead of two where possible, so I have a good few empty jars ready to take to the glass bays. I need my chilli powder in ONE jar, my mixed spice in ONE jar, etc...
Also got dishes done, so pretty productive while awake. The knitting needs sewn together before I go further there.
Oh & I ordered more yarn... (all multicoloured)

BC oh no!!! And you fell!!! And the yoghurt made you ill!!! Hope the new glasses cheer you up at least & don't feel too uncomfy xxx

I actually skipped picking up my glasses I was feeling so wore out and in pain from the fall that when I was done visiting my mom I just wanted to go home. I regret it now, I should have picked them up, it would have been a short drive. Now I have to go all the way back to Port Charlotte to get them.

I was in a lot of pain when I woke up, I could barely sit up to get out of bed. And when I stood up? Oh man. Pain was intense. But it's gotten better throughout the day. I've been taking ibuprofen and using an ice pack on my back, trying to sit up straight and not twist or bend. I've been playing a game all day. I still have lots of chores to do, but I can get to them tomorrow. It's no rush, I can take my time.

I made nachos for lunch

I went walking at the park today after work.  A really nice, sunny, breezy 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Saw some butterflies, turtles, birds, and a new flower I’d never seen before, eastern sweet shrub.

[BlackCurtains]

My back feels better. I got most of the chores done yesterday. Today I think I'll work on ponies.

[Ponybookworm]

Did ZERO work on the knitting projects, but that will change soon.
Sleep unwonked by an extra step in the crochet projects which I thought would be "quick" as they were small. Heck nope!!! Did five of them, added embroidery, & trimmed the things, but they're done now!!! One more project to complete in that lot & I can move on to other crochet things (I have a ton in the queue).
Still to add hair to Baby Skippity Doo, Baby Diamond Dreams, & Baby Cascade, but can do that soon, & Baby Diamond Dreams has had paint added to make her blanket colours closer to her mother's. Hmmm, should I crochet MGR blankets??? And embroider them after??? Hmmm...
Aside from that, just quiet really. At least I have stuff to do today...

Glad you're better & got stuff done BC xxx
Gator, sounds like a delightful walk!!!

Today I’ve bleached my bird feeders, they were getting a little moldy.  I’ve transplanted some salvia.  We used to have the biggest patch of salvia, and the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds loved it!  But for a construction project it was in the way, so to save it we tried transplanting it to several places around the yard.  None of them have done well, so I transplanted them yet again to a new spot.  I hope the plants like it and grow into the huge mass they once were!

Got up at 4am for no good reason. I'm thinking about going out today, to the bank and to pick up my glasses and visit my mom. I'm trying to work out the best way to go about it. Uber lets you add stops to your trip but I can't figure out how to do that? Unless it's something you can do after you book your trip? I'll have to try later and see. Maybe. I might save this for tomorrow depending on how I feel.
