So, this morning I was up and worked in the front yard, which is in horrible shape, but I am taking steps to correct it.
I spent a good 45 minutes yesterday at Ace Hardware picking the brain of one of the best minds in town when it comes to keeping grass alive and weed free (is there such a lawn?) in Lewiston (the desert) Idaho.
Was given a lot of good tips and bought grass seed, topsoil and a good sprinkler.
The weather is changing and although it will get to a high of 96 today it then will start to go down and next week is perfect for me to get new grass planted.
I then went up to Sissies and did three hours of ironing (finished mine on Wednesday) and still did not finish. I do not think she has ironed in two months. It is so hot here that we wear cotton and some linen and I do not care if you pull it from the dryer immediately it still looks somewhat wrinkled. We also grew up on starched sheets and pillowcases as well as cloth napkins so those have to be ironed as well.
I need to go to Costco today and get some things for my Husband that the Doctor recommended for his diabetes. The appointment went very well but he has not been taking care of himself and some of his numbers are not good, but we are on the right track, so He feels better about things as well as I.
It helps having a new Doctor that is also a diabetic as She knows what to get and where for the best price!
They are completely redoing his meds which makes me very happy.
I also have to go to Walmart (which I hate) but they are the only game in town for Placker's ( Sluggy I used your last pack). Yes, Sluggy used to keep me well supplied when the Rite Aides were still going strong!
I will also go to WinCo for fresh vegetables to make a large salad for the husband which he can eat on for days.
Before I head out to run these errands I am heading up to Sissies to take her some goulash I made last night (she eats like crap) and I want to see if she finished the last eleven pieces of ironing and if not I will do them as I can't stand things hanging out there!
Now I am off to conquer the world.
I am going to hit Sissy if she did not finish that ironing.
Hugs.
Kay
Will your world end if ironing is not done? You do you though. I'm sure I have things I do others find odd or a bother, but I barely iron a dress so never would s napkin get ironed.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am asking (maybe dumb) what is Plackers? Never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sam, things won't come to an end if things don't get done and in a certain way.
Have a great weekend.
I'm not Bossy here... just the way I am wired I guess, and plackers are a dental pick with two strands, which my Husband cannot live without! I say, " choose your battles wisely" and buy them for him. I did finish Sissy's ironing this morning and put off my errands and she will run them with me tomorrow! Also, Cheryl I think Sissy and I are both rather VAIN? No wrinkles, crisp and clean...I need deep psychological help...maybe? More on the ironing tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe only napkins I used to iron were the company napkins . . . until I found out how to fold them to look like a rose sitting in the middle of the plate. Now no one knows I didn't bother. For me personally I only iron on demand. I wear cotton all the time. but Downey Wrinkle Release has set me free. Plus I have a high tolerance for wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if whoever invented the fabric release is in line to be canonized
