What the Junk?!

Sunday fun.

Okay, so not really.  It's going to be a busy day of washing, packing, etc.  I didn't walk today because I want to give myself another day to feel good for the beach.  I still don't feel right, but I'm not too bad.  My power went out for a bit today.  It was out for 30 minutes.  I was a bit worried as it's so hot here and I needed to wash some clothes for packing!  Luckily it came back and I tossed my clothes in the start washing.

I am taking it as easy as I can, but I do have a lot to do.  I thought I would mow my front lawn today so it would be done before I go but it doesn't need it!  That figures. lol . Oh well, one less thing to worry about.  I already stopped my mail to the house for the week.  I really need to go to the post office before I go.  I probably won't make it, though.

I still haven't decided if I want to carry my bullet journal backpack or just my bujo and my pen case.  I guess we'll see when I get packing.  I want to have room for everything without too much extra.  I'd love to have my bag with me.  I did get it to bujo on the go. :P . I'll probably take it as it's not that big. Plus, I am using the old bag that I had for it for my toiletries and it's a lot smaller than the bag I usually carry for that.  I got some little bottles at Dollar Tree and filled them with stuff from bigger bottles to save space.  It's perfect for that.  I also plan to pack several empty bags.  I always come back with more than I go with. lol  The only bad thing about the timing of this trip, is that it's the end of the month and that means I'm pretty broke.  I did save out a little this month so I wouldn't be totally broke.  I also have a few dollars in quarters left over from walking and a five dollar bill. Yay! Lol 

I'm carrying some old pennies with me to make smooshed pennies.  I read that it's best to use ones from 1982 or earlier.  They nice nicer that way.  I picked several of those.  I need quarters to pay to make the smooshed pennies so I'm good!  I'm hoping to get a few more to add to my collection. So far I have four.  One from Carrowinds back when it was a Paramount park and the other three are all from Myrtle Beach. :P

Sick day!

I skipped walking today to try to rest up and get rid of whatever is making me feel off. I don't feel better tonight, but I don't feel worse, so that is progress. I am going to take it easy tomorrow too. I have washing and packing to do tomorrow. I hope to be 100% Monday morning. If I stay like I am now, I will be okay. I just don't want to get any worse. Wish me lots of luck! 

I did finish the puzzle today. Here it is. I won't be able to do any more until I get back. 

Goodness!

It was ridiculously hot today.  I felt like I was dying on my walk.  Luckily, the Coca Cola peeps filled the machine so I was able to get a Coke at my turn around point.  While I was walking, I heard a lot of sirens.  I saw a police car, an ambulance, and another emergency vehicle go past.  I found out later that there had been a homicide.  It was one street behind the one I walk on.  Yikes!  

I got home and had to sit down and cool off.  My clothes were all wet with sweat. Yuck! :( . I got those taken care of too.  I decided that I was in for the rest of the day. I haven't left my room with the air conditioning except for bathroom breaks and to fix lunch and dinner. lol . 

I got a LOT done on the puzzle today.  I'll finish it up tomorrow.  I will probably not start another one before the beach as we are leaving on Monday.  I usually finish them in two days, but these past two, I've taken three.  I think I'll just wait until I come back.  I hope to find some puzzles at the beach to bring back.  We always hit a bunch of thrift stores and there is a Dollar Tree close to where we stay.

After I posted last night, I took the layout down that I changed to and changed to this one.  I like this one quite a lot.  I used my own picture for the banner.  It's one of the many pictures I've taken at the beach.  Look forward to many posts and pictures next week from the beach! ^______^ . I'm ready to leave NOW! lol

I have been feeling 'off' all day.  I don't think I'm coming down with anything as I haven't been near anyone sick.  I think my body is just reacting to the heat.  I have no other symptoms.  I do not want to be sick on a beach trip.  Phooey on that!  I am going to relax tonight and I might try to do my walk later in the day tomorrow to skip the heat.  It couldn't hurt!  We'll see how it goes.  For now, here is the progress I've done on the current puzzle.

Layout change?

Yes, I am trying a new layout for my blog. I don't know how long it will stay, but I like it for the moment.  It is one that actually worked when I tried it.  Typepad still hasn't figured out why some of the layouts display wonky on my end.  Hopefully it will get fixed eventually.

I took my walk at my regular time today.  It was HOT.  I was so glad to get home!  I stopped at CVS and bought a bottle of sunscreen.  I got the CVS brand that is 30 SPF and it's the 'sport' type so it's supposed to help with sweating.  I will use it on my walks for my face and neck.  I also will need it at the beach!

The only bottle of sunscreen that I have it out of date, so I needed more.  I have used the CVS brand in the past and it works well. I usually buy the spray on, but the can felt way too light.  I saw the bottle of lotion and got that instead. It smells SO GOOD. I love the smell of sun lotions!   The smell always make me think of the beach.

I started another puzzle today, but I had to go back to my friend's house, so I only got the outline done.  It's not much, but it's there.  My friend had an relationship incident yesterday and police were called.  Relationship ended and I was so relieved.  I went back today to find that they are thinking of getting back together. UGH!  That got me upset to begin with, and then the other couple go in a shouting match. Pizza was thrown. ~_~; I left!  I won't be visiting again any time soon!

Finished

I finished the puzzle today despite having to go to a friend's house for several hours. Too tired to talk about it tonight. Here is the completed puzzle! 

 

Tuesday Tales

I got in my walk at my regular time. On the way down, I was thinking, hey! This isn't so bad. As I was coming back. UGH IT'S HOT! lol I made it though! I got home and cooled off and relaxed a bit. I worked on the puzzle some, too. My friend has doing some work on his car getting it ready for the beach trip. He texted and asked if I wanted to ride around for a bit to test out what he did. I agreed so he picked me up. We ended up in Eden NC at the Circle drive in. lol We haven't eaten there in a while. It was delicious!

I came home and did some more on the puzzle. I got quite a bit done, but I'm not finished. I didn't think I would finish it today. Here is what I got accomplished:

Welcome to the week

So, I walked today at my regular time.  I was able to go through the park, so that was good.  They are finishing taking down the rides, so tomorrow, it should be completely empty. Yay!  It was hot out there and the drink machine was sold out, I didn't have enough for a drink at the pharmacy. (They took out the $1.00 drinks.) and the stupid hospital was on security lock down so I couldn't get one there either.  So frustrating!  I just gave up and continued walking and inhaled juice when I got here. lol

Last night, about 11:15, I got the bright idea to move my room around.  It won't take that long! I thought and started. Well, it was after midnight before the furniture was moved, the stuff wasn't[ back on the walls, and I was dripping in sweat.  Usually I won't go to bed until everything is back in it's place.  I just gave up and went to bed! lol . Today, after my walk, I moved the room back the way I had it. LOL!

I do like the changes I made on my walls.  I took some things down that I had up and put up a lot of my completed puzzles.  They looks good!  I have room for more, too!  It is good to move everything around (even if I'm going to move it right back) because I get to dust and sweep under everything.

So, I got all that done and I was very tired.  If I had hot water, I would have soaked in the tub for about three hours. LOL . I didn't have hot water though, so I just relaxed.  I started a new puzzle and I didn't get a lot done because I started pretty late, and it is going to be a hard one.  It's all fruit and there are a lot of similar colors.  It should be interesting to say the least!i . Here is my progress:

That green apple was the only green apple in the puzzle, so that was easy to do. The lemons are going to be hard.  I only got a little of them done.  Also, when I was laying out the pieces on the white board, I grouped them by color to make it easier to look for pieces.  This one may not be finished tomorrow, but three days for a puzzle this size is not bad at all!  I like all the colors.  The puzzles I put up on my walls are six of the ones I've done recently.  The castle, the gardening one, Las Vegas, bowls, candy, and bottle caps.  I put the bottle cap one up next to the older bottle cap one I did some time ago. The puzzles make for some colorful "wallpaper". 

 

Slamacow!

I love my Adventure Time episode tracker! I used some of my Adventure Time stickers. Here is the finished product: 

The Adventure Time logo at the bottom isn't a sticker. It came off some packaging and I just made a color copy. I love my spread. I am going to alternate the blue and yellow pens to mark episodes as I watch them. It's going to be fun! 

My walk was really hot today, but I got it in. Gladly, today is the last day of the festival! I probably won't be able to walk through the park tomorrow, but I should be able to by Wednesday at the latest. When I got home, cooled off, and relaxed, I worked on my puzzle. I finished it! 

 

Goodies

I forgot to shard the two goodies I got in today's mail! My Finn shirt and a cool Fossil messenger bag. 

Adventure Time!

So, I have been wanting to do an episode tracker in my bujo for some time.  I thought I'd do it for Adventure Time!  I printed out a list of all the episodes so I can do a layout in my bujo.  I want to put all the episode names, but that might take up too much room. I haven't decided exactly how I plan to do it.  We'll see!

As for walking, I did just that today.  It was very hot as I expected and it was not easy to convince myself to go, but I did it!  The park wasn't too bad when I went by.  I had to go around people a few times, but it was only on the way down.  On the way back, I avoided it completely. Instead of walking the sidewalk in front of the shopping center, I cut through the sidewalk IN the shopping center.  I didn't have to walk around anyone that way.

I came home and it took a while to cool down.  I was hot, I was sweaty, and most of my clothes were wet from that. Eww!  I finally cooled off, changed and started on my next puzzle.  I got a good portion of it done too.  I decided to stop and go mow.  I got the back park done that I didn't do last time.  I'll have to do the front tomorrow or Monday and again next Sunday before we leave for the beach.  That way, it will be done the day before we leave and hopefully it won't get too bad between then and when we get back that Sunday.

Here is the puzzle so far.  I might do a few more pieces before bed, but I might not.  I was up too late again last night and I'm certainly feeling it today!
