Friday Roundup

Happy Friday to all.  Oh, how I remember how I used to look forward to this day.  However, I also remember that before I retired, this was always the slowest day of the week for me.  It never seemed like it was going to end. Guess it's because I was looking forward to the weekend so much.  Now Friday is just another day because every day is a weekend day for me.

Slowly getting my house back in order.  They finished the three apartments next to me and across the hall so hopefully the dust will let up some, but first the lobby has to be cleaned, and the super doesn't seem to be doing that. That's the main thing now.  The dust.  I keep a towel under the door, but every time you open it, dust comes in.  I did finish the television area because it is furthest from the door, but only doing a little at a time.

Had an awesome workshop on Wednesday.  I really enjoy that group as much as my Thursday group.  We talked about staying motivated, and I opened up about my inability to stay on track now that I reached Lifetime status.  It's been a struggle ever since, and lately it just keeps getting worse.  I am definitely in sabotage mode, and am having a struggle pulling out of it.  That's why attending 2 workshops or more a week will be good for me.  Went to lunch with the girls after my Thursday workshop and enjoyed the good company and conversation.  After a month of hermit-hood due to the construction, it's feeling so good to get out again.

Christmas decorations up already.  Hmmm!  Guess that's kind of late in today's day and age when Christmas comes long before Halloween.

The other day I bought an 18 count carton of Eggland's eggs.  They cost a bit more, but I've been buying them since the egg scare awhile back.  And they do taste better.  We enjoy them.  I checked the carton before putting it in my cart.  All eggs were perfect.  I came home to find that all but 2 eggs were smashed.   16 eggs ruined.  What the heck did I do?  Like I have money to throw away.  Grrr!!!

Bought another 18 count carton yesterday and took great care to get them home safely, and I did. Not one broken egg. The other day was just a fluke, and I think I can pinpoint when it happened. I got off the stop before mine to get some mandarins at an outdoor market. That made the bag quite heavy. When I got home I just plopped the bag down forgetting the eggs for a minute. The result? 16 broken eggs.

Got this beautiful Christmas scarf in the mail yesterday. Can't wait for the opportunity to wear it. Thank you so much, Lady Caer Morganna from http://thewiccalife.blogspot.com/

A big storm heading this way tomorrow so my plans are to just hang out and maybe get some things done around the house.   I almost went out and cleaned the lobby myself, but then I thought I'm not the one getting free rent to take care of the building.  Why should I have to clean it?  So much as I am anxious to get my floors waxed and my rugs laid, I'll just have to be patient and wait. 

Have a wonderful day.
