Does anyone else have this problem? It is an aggravation I tell you.
I was able to finish my quota yesterday. Took about 1.5 hours longer than I thought. I always think I can do a whole list in a shorter time frame than is possible. Have been that way my whole life. But the list is done!
Today I have two dresses to finish, and they are both started. I am supposed to have three dresses picked up but so far no one has come in to pick up. Just work has been dropped off.
The Elders and boys came last night and got the hill cleared. It took 4 large garbage cans full to clear the acreage. Luckily a neighbor lent me her can and one of the men brought two from his neighborhood. Now I just have to get out and spray the tiny weeds. Hope to get that done later today.
Sissie came over with the last of the bricks from her place. I will not start on the blueberry bed until later this summer. Too hot, and just not enough time. I will plant new bushes in the fall. But at least the supplies are here for when I want to start.
Now I am just praying that the fencing Dan and I out up will deter whatever is eating the cucumbers down. At this point I am ready to give up. But I just can't.
I need to make an appointment to get my nails done some time before the weekend. They are a wreck. Better put that on my list of to do's. Kelsa called me last night from Twin Falls where she is staying and wanted me to come over and see her. It was so cute. Like I can just hop in the car and be there in a few minutes. It is 8 hours away. She is having fun at dance camp and getting thoroughly spoiled by Auntie Jessie.
Well, I had better get busy, those dresses are not going to do themselves. Will report back tomorrow, so I can be accountable. See what y'all do for me. I just know you will know if I just sit on the back deck and enjoy the sunshine.
Have a great and productive day
God is good

Hey, my friend, I am not holding you accountable for anything! LOL But trust me, I get jobs that need to get done. Hugs, Kim.
ReplyDeleteThanks April, I hope you are feeling better.
DeleteDo what you can do - that is all any of us can do. The rest waits for another day.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, if I heaven forbid don't get something done it is always there staring at me the next morning. I need shoemaker elves.
DeleteI am finding myself unable to finish my monthly list of projects the last while. I am getting slower and older, so I need to begin to take that into account. You, my dear, do so much in a day. I really do not know how you manage.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I just wish I could get more done, but my back and age stop me also!
DeleteI bought a laptop all by myself. It almost killed me. The stress was unbearable. Friend who looked it up afterwards said I got a Hell of a deal. You won't drive 8 hours to see Kelsa?
ReplyDeletePP above
DeleteWell, I would if I could, but I think she will be here tonight!
DeleteI've no doubt you'll finish your list but I'm sorry it's so long. I caused another problem yesterday trying to change a lightbulb and the whole wiring popped down. Now to find an electrician to sort it for me. I seem to wreck more things than I fix so I'm the culprit to my house list growing.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all do that. It makes me swear *&^%%$
DeleteThere is nothing wrong with taking a few breaks to sit outside in the sunshine. Everything will get done.
ReplyDeleteYou are right and I am going to do that today!
DeleteI love that Kelsa called you to "swing by" and visit her. What a cutie. Glad she's having fun with her aunt & dance camp. I cut out all of Nick's shirts (24) for his Tshirt quilt, and got a blister on my hand, because I'm the least crafty person ever. I also made a huge mess. Today is measuring the shirts to make sure I don't need to "upgrade" the quilt square size (you have to, if some of the decorative text or whatever falls outside the smaller quilt square size). Anyway, that's on my list of things to do, but I was pleased that I made some progress. - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteUse iron on interfacing to stabilize the squares, this will make sewing them together much easier!
