Slice of Life - What are you up to today?

[invaderhorizongreen]

I got my goodie bags ready for Halloween night and i will be dressing up, now to just get the porch decor done.

[BlackCurtains]

Thanks!

I told my parents I just wanted money so I could buy art supplies and a DVD player for the bedroom.

I was upset for a while, because my dad didn't say happy birthday to me. He did later when I was going to leave their house.

The bathroom is mostly finished. I just need to mop the floor. I cleaned the litter boxes and put them out for my new kitty Hopefully, I can go to the shelter on Tuesday. I still need to call and make an appointment. I hope the cat I was interested in is still there.

I'm so glad it's Sunday. I will paint the bath panel I suppose. I'm still gradually getting through doors. I opened the Anthropologie wallpaper I bought on Ebay and now I wish I had enough to do a wall instead of just decoupage projects. But that will have to wait for a time when we have a bit more money.

Good going Invaderhorizon & BC!!!
Artie, slow but sure wins the race & doesn't overtax you xxx

The upstairs hall needed vacuumed, so I got that done & another quick go in the living room (I'm there all the time so I vacuum the section I use most every time the vacuum cleaner is out, just easier that way). Got a bit more done on the spreadsheet. Next up: the bigger Ponies!!! I also have to sort the rubbish for tomorrow. Hope I get that done...

Ugh. I couldn't sleep last night. I'm in a lot of pain

It's cold this morning but it gets into the mid 70s during the day, which is nice.

Today, if I don't crash into bed, I want to start on the shelves again. I also need to pack some boxes for shipping this week.

Speaking of shelves, I found the perfect ones at Home Depot for my ponies They will work for both Hasbro ponies and customs. I haven't bought them yet because I need to measure for the length. I'm also going to get LED light strips to go around them so my ponies can live inside a rainbow

I feel better today, despite the interrupted sleep constantly. Getting some chores done, I don't think I'll be able to make it to see family and I learned I left a card at work Spending some quality time with birbs, I need to go get cold meat for sandwiches

[Heart Of Midnight]

On Sunday during the day, me and mom moved the firewood into the shed. It was a nice thing to do. At the same time, we got good exercise for our legs and arms.

Today I am spending time with my new kitty

The shelves will be put on hold until she gets more comfortable, I don't want to noise to spook her.

I have a big order from Amazon arriving today (well it's supposed to anyway) so I am excited for that.

I have veggie fried rice leftover from my birthday meal that I'm going to heat up in a minute.

[Artemesia's Garden]

Mmm, leftovers! I like takeaway leftovers a lot. I did working and coming home, then washing some tomatoes, improving the cat's hidey hole with an old T shirt. I'm edging some calico to support an embroidery of my Mum's. I'm using blanket stitch so that the edge is flatter for framing, then I'll wash the calico, iron it and stitch the embroidery onto it. I haven't decided how to frame it yet, box-frames seem more affordable these days so I'll have a look into that. Previously it was just open to the air. Unfortunately it has gone very brown because it was glued to an old piece of cardboard, I think the acid in the cardboard reacted with the fabric. But it's in a very retro 1970s style, I like it a lot.

Well I got the Sisters done, & failed YET AGAIN at knitting projects. Fortunately one was easy to rectify, so got that done yaiy!!! The other is that scarf I keep dropping stitches on...
Coffee today, so went to that. Under £40 in my meter so thought I'd best get hold of people again but see Trivial Complaints... I NEED to add credit to my meter!!!

BC saw your cat, & since noise seems to scare her it's no surprise you're postponing shelf-building xxx
Artie that sounds a fascinating project
HOM glad you enjoyed your chore with your mum xxx
Frostbite good one on the chores, & hope you can get that card. So many things are cards these days...

[BlackCurtains]

Today is my last free day, I'm busy the rest of the week with Dr. appointments. Tomorrow I see my eye doctor. I really need new glasses and my prescription has changed. I was watching Hulu the other night and there was something on the screen I had to squint to see... WITH my glasses on! Then I see my therapist and my psychiatrist the next days. Plus I need to get to the PO, I have a bunch of stuff to send.

Things continue to go well with Aster (I've settled on that name). She ate more breakfast today and finally used the litter box.

I'll be making chicken quesadillas later. I've never made them before, but my mom would make them once in a while. I had a craving, so I bought the stuff.

Awh! Congratulations on your new kitty. I'm happy for you.

@PBW cheers, and sorry you're having probs with your meter. I know how irritating it can be, I'm lucky to have a normal meter again now. Hope you get some help to get it sorted out.

i went and ate at ikea today pretty much haha! but it was nice!

That is nice! I haven't done that since sometime around 2006. I haven't lived near one since I lived in Bristol but I used to love it. So calm and well designed environment, very immersive for a few hours and just a nice place to be.

I tried to work form home today but I'm not feeling too great. We found some more old stuff of Steve's from the cottage that has grown this terrifying mold on it. Milton fluid, vinegar and bleach are the only things that kill it, so Steve had to spend all evening in the back yard soaking stuff. I think it's a curse from his late wife. I cooked him some nice food when he came in but I didn't feel like eating. Tomorrow is another day.

[Ponybookworm]

I figured out the issue: there's more on the key than I thought & the meter won't take it until there's enough room for that credit. Given up on the scarf (that yarn is a PEST) but did get some other knitting done so that's good. Baked a pie for dinner & will have to do some more baking soon. Also need to get dishes done. Oh & I bought a butternut squash, but a small one this time. I hope it fits a tealight when hollowed out...

Artie yeuch yeuch yeuch!!! Mould is the WORST!!!
Bearly did you see the plushies there??? So cute!!! And glad you managed to have a meal out too xxx
BC I've never had quesedillas before, like ever!!! I know the feeling about eye appointments!!! I'm dreading having to make one for me, but I know I'll need to soon...
