What the Junk?!

This is Saturday, right?

It has been one of those weeks!  I got up today and I was so tired.  I didn't get to sleep last night until way later than my bedtime.  I just didn't have the pep to get up and go for my walk.  I stayed in and relaxed and might even have taken a nap. :P

This afternoon, I thought about going to the trail to walk.  There was a children's festival down there today until 4pm and I didn't want any part of that!  I waited until almost 6 and went down there.  I walked on the trail on the part that is open.  It was covered in dirt from the last big rain we've had. Luckily, none of that part was blocked.  I didn't go to look to see if they had put a bridge back up. I figured they haven't done that yet.  I wish they would! I prefer the walk in that direction.

I got through walking and headed home to relax a bit before dinner.  I was too tired and hot when i got home to think about cooking, so I sat and relaxed a bit before fixing something.  I did that and then sat down to get my blog post in.  I haven't done my French lesson and i plan to do that after I post this.  I didn't start on a puzzle today as it was so late when I got back from my walk.  I'll start one tomorrow!  I finished listening to Cell on today's walk and went to the library and borrowed The Mist to listen to starting tomorrow.  The library has a very limited number of Stephen King audiobooks and they are all usually checked out.  I was glad to be able to grab The Mist.  I own Cell. It was the book I got when I did a free trial of audible.  I really should do the audible thing again as much as I love to listen to books on my walks!

Here are a few pictures I took on the trail this evening;

Hello again!

Sorry about not posting for the last two days.  On Wednesday, I walked, but I got blisters.  This was unusual.  I was not happy about that.  That evening, I fully intended to post to my blog and I got to doing other things I forgot.  I did a puzzle that day and wanted to share it.  I'll share it today.

First though, let's talk about yesterday.  I didn't walk.  I woke up feeling pretty bleah and out of sorts.  I decided I'd walk later in the day.  I took a nap, and relaxed.  I didn't feel like doing much.  My friend texted me and asked if I wanted to try one of the restaurants here in town we've wanted to try but have't yet.  I said, yes!  It's a local Italian restaurant. It was delicious.  I got Fettuccini Alfredo. OMG it was so good.  They serve it with a bread roll and Foccia bread.   Yummy!  I enjoyed it a lot.  Definitely a place to go back to!

When we got back to my house, my friend put some stuff in my car to see if it would help it run a little better. We drove around a bit to see if it helped.  It didn't. lol Oh well! After he left, I got in my mail and saw that I had a sample of dog treats.  I got them to give to my friend's dog.  I went up to their house and treats were passed out all around. lol . I stayed awhile and then headed home.  I didn't start my next puzzle because it was late.  I decided to wait until today.  I worked the whole thing. lol  Here is the one from two days ago and today's:

These were both from the box of 6.  The first was 300 pieces and the second was 500.  I'll probably do the last puzzle in the box tomorrow (or at least start it).  I also decided to put some of my Adventure Time stickers to good use.  I put them on the MacBook Pro.  I laid them out and figured out the design before sticking them on.  I wanted to put on Marcy and PB too, but I didn't have room.  I like the way the ones I put on look.  Here is that:

LSP, Peppermint Butler, Finn & Jake, BMO, Gunter, and Ice King. ^_^  I love it!  Also, as an added bonus, you can see my bujo in this picture. :p Oh! I walked today and everything was okay with my poor feet. :p

Back at it, again!

I got up and got my butt in gear and went for my walk today!  It was nice to get back to it.  It wasn't as horrible as I was expecting since it had been so long.  It didn't hurt that it wasn't as hot as it was the last time I walked here.  I needed a few things at the dollar store, so I stopped at Dollar General and picked those up.  One of the things I needed was paper for my printer.  They have small packs of it for a few dollars.  I couldn't find any. I looked and looked and then spotted some on the top shelf where they put overstock.  I was glad to find it!  

I left there and headed home.  I got here and a cooled off and relaxed a bit and then I mowed the front lawn.  Luckily with me being sick, it hasn't really gotten bad.  It was probably good for a few more days, but I went ahead and did it.  I was glad to get it done.  I worked another puzzle today!  The two yesterday were 200 piece ones from that puzzle six pack.  The one today is a 300 piece one from that same pack.  This one was all similar colors and I thought it would be really hard, but it wan't as bad as I would have thought.  This particular puzzle brand has a link to their site where you can print off a picture of the puzzle.  This is cool because with six puzzles, the pictures on the box are tiny. I went ahead and printed the last three pictures off tonight so I would have them ready to go.  Here is the puzzle I did today:

Two puzzles!

I did two puzzles today. Both were from that box of six. They were both 200 pieces and the pieces were a good size so I did both. 

Sunday Slowness.

Yeah, it's been a very slow day.  I did all my usual Sunday stuff yesterday, so I didn't have any of that to do.  I spent the day relaxing.  I am going to try to get back to walking tomorrow if it doesn't rain.  We'll see how it goes.  

I finished my puzzle.  It was hard to finish!  Pieces were so similarly shaped, that when I got done, I had two pieces left, two holes for pieces, and neither went with the other! lol I finally got the wrong pieces out and in the right places.It's a pretty puzzle.  I'm not sure which one I'll start next.  I only have a stack to choose from. :p

I did my weekly for next week in my bullet journal and I love the color coordination of the Mildliner and the washi.  This layout is my usual weekly.  I love it because I have plenty of room for stuff during the week and the right page is for anything I want to toss in.  Stickers I find, receipts from places I visit, etc.  It works out well.  If I end up not having anything to put on the right page, I'll do a text entry in it.  

Saturday status

Well, I am feeling a bit better today.  Still not 100% though.  I got a few more things done today.  I have put away the load of clothes I washed yesterday after finally getting the clothes from Sunday out and I have my bed linen in the dryer as I type this.  I thought having clean bed linen would be nice. I usually do it every week on Sunday, as you know, but I didn't last week because I felt so bad, and I didn't do it before the trip so it's been a while   It will be so nice to have fresh clean bed linen tonight!

I took a picture of all the puzzles I got on the trip to show you and I started one! Since I had to get out of bed to wash my linens, I thought I'd work on a puzzle today.  I got a lot of it done and I'll finish it tomorrow.  I also ran out and went to the post office to check my box.  With the letters I got right before the trip and the ones I got today, I have 10.  One is from an entirely new pen pal. Yay!  That is always good.  From her letter, I think we will be great pals, too!

I am currently under the hair bonnet dryer with my hair.  I figured fresh bed linen deserved fresh hair too.  I washed it last at the beach, so you can imagine how funky it was! lol . I am glad I was able to get more things done today.  I'm taking tomorrow off from walking too.  I just want to make sure I'm ready to go again.  I think I will be on Monday. I hope!  In any case, enjoy the pictures.  First one is of allllll the puzzles I got at Myrtle Beach and the second is the current one ini progress. It is one I got at the beach.  With a beach scene, it seemed fitting as my first one back. ^_^

 

Friday, again!

What a difference a week makes.  Last Friday I was at beautiful Myrtle Beach.  I would probably be typing this blog post out on the balcony.  Sadly, I'm home and posting from my bedroom.  I've seen a lot of it this week since I've been sick.  I'm feeling a LOT better today.  I'm not well yet, and I'm not going to overdo it, but I can tell I'll feel normal again soon.

I finally got those poor clothes out of the dryer from Sunday and started another load of stuff.  I also did something interesting. I adulted. lol . My toilet seat cracked before the beach trip.  It's probably been on that toilet since it was installed many, many years ago.  It was just starting to look worn.  It cracked where I could still use it but I had to be careful!  I have another bathroom that cannot be used so I just swapped out the seats on Sunday for the time being.  I went for a search on Amazon and found a nice seat for less than$18 on Amazon.  The one I had in the other bathroom was plastic and it didn't feel solid to me.  I wanted one like I had so I went looking.  This one was nice and it was a great price so I ordered it.  Prime shipping and it was here today.  I was able to clean the toilet and while I was doing it, I got an alert on my phone.  The seat was delivered. LOL!  Good timing all around.  

I put the new seat on and it's nice. It's sturdy and a lot like my old one, but it's so new and nice looking.  I love it.  Good old Amazon!  I remember when I got that plastic one, it was expensive so I was happy to see this one for so cheap on Amazon!

Okay so I mentioned this in the post that disappeared yesterday before I could posted it.  I mentioned how many puzzles I got at the beach.  How many did I get?  Twenty one!  Fifteen were individual ones and there was that one that had six in it.  All but three were brand new and still sealed and three are vintage.  Hopefully I can start one this weekend.  I'm going to wait until Monday to try to walk again.

One, because I want to make sure I am ready, and two it's supposed to be rainy and bad weather all weekend.  Sounds like a good weekend for coffee, puzzles, and reading!  Speaking of reading, I've gotten back into the book I'm reading.  I'm still not loving it, but it's getting more interesting and I hate to give up on a book.  I hope to get a lot more done on it or finish it this weekend.

Okay, I guess that is good for today.  I am copying this just in case I have another error.  I want this post to show.  I am not typing it up again! LOL!

UGH

I just finished a post and it disappeared.  I'll will try again tomorrow.  I wasn't going to post a lot today anyway. 

Hopefully on the mend.

I have felt a little better today, but I'm not where near back to normal.  I mainly stayed around the house and didn't do a lot.  I did some work on organizing my Starbucks cards.  I got some new ones at the beach so I wanted to get those all sorted and put in my binder.  I also went through and found that I had some ones with pin intact.  I changed all the ones that I had in my collection that weren't like that.  I also had some 'special' cards and I put them in the other binder.  I was glad to get one task done today! 

I finished one of the books I was reading too.  I just have to finish the one I started on the Kindle waaay back in May.  It's sort of meh, so it's been slow going.  I might skip it and start something else. I haven't decided yet.  I'm just not getting into the story.  I'll give it a few more pages tonight and see if it picks up.

I do have a picture to share.  On the night of the storm at the beach, I walked to the SkyWheel/Pavilion area on the beach like I had been doing and went up on the boardwalk to the Gay Dolphin. I'm pretty sure I already mentioned that, but just in case. :P . When I left the boardwalk and got back on the beach, I took this picture of the Skywheel.  I think it's my favorite picture I took of it while there:

 

Alive

Yes, I am alive. I have been sick since getting home. I hope to make a legit post tomorrow! Here is a picture in the meantime. Hopefully I didn't share it before. Lol
