What the Junk?!

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! 

 

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!

 

Warm and even warmer.

So, tomorrow it is supposed to be a high of 91˚.  Yes, in May!  Wowee, it's going to be fun walking tomorrow. :P  Also, we have a annual festival that is at Ballou Park.  I walk through/past Ballou on my daily walk.  The past few walks, I've had to detour as they were setting up.  The festival started today, so I bypassed and walked on the sidewalk out front.  Luckily, the festival doesn't start on Friday until 4 or so.  I didn't have to fight a bunch of crowds.  Tomorrow will be different.  There will be a lot of people.  Luckily, it should only be bad right on that one block and then I'll be past it.  On the way back, I'll pass the park but on the other side of the road.  That is a shopping center and you can imagine that the parking lot is full during a festival.  Tomorrow's walk will be interesting and probably annoying. :P

Today's wasn't so bad, but it was hot and I wss so ready to get a Coke at my turn around point.  I remembered to carry my change with me, but the machine was totally sold out. Phooey!  I didn't get to drink a nice cold Coke on my way back.  Hopefully they'll fill it soon.  

I finished the current puzzle today!  I have to pick out the next one I plan to do.  I'll start it tomorrow.  I also plan to get my pen pal letters written and sent this weekend.  I hope to get to the post office to pick up any that I have and answer them all and mail them all off.  It will be two weeks before I can check my box and answer letters again as we leave for the beach next Monday.  I am so ready to go!

Almost to the weekend

I haven't been sleeping well lately and I just had to figure out what day it was. lol I was trying to decide if it were Wednesday or Thursday. :P . It's Thursday or at least my MacBookPro says so.  I'm glad it knows! 

I decided to make today and no walk day.  I stayed home and relaxed. I even took a nap.  Hopefully it won't mess me up for sleeping tonight.  I hope I'll sleep like a rock!  I did leave the house today.  It was day seven on a Pokemon streak.  I didn't want to miss today's, so I went to hit a Pokestop.  While I was out, I went to Roses and got some undies and sleepwear.  I needed both.  I hope I like the undies.  They had four pair for $5, not bad!  I always carry more pair of underwear to the beach than I would ever need. LOL . Hey, it's always good to be prepared. Also, I have been needing some sleep shorts for a while.  A lot of mine are starting to wear out.  Maybe I can find some more cheap at the beach.

One more week to go.  Ahhh!  We leave on Monday May 27.  I want to go NOW! :p . In other news, I started another one of my puzzles today.  It's so colorful and pretty.  I got the outline done and several of the plates of candy.  I will probably finish it tomorrow.  

I thought about going to Starbucks today, but then I thought about it.  I should save all the money I have on my card for the beach trip.  I can easily walk to a Starbucks every day if I want to!  I have money on the card and enough for two drinks or a tumbler or coffee.  Cool!  I hope to make it back to that ocean front one I found last trip. 

The place we are staying this time has two piers in close walking distance.  I hope to go out on at least one.  I'll probably go up on both, but I am not sure if i'll pay to go out on both.  We'll see when we get there. 

Puzzles for days!

So, I got in my walk today at my regular time.  I'm glad I did because my friend texted and wanted to go eat.  We were going to go to a place that we've both been wanting to try, but they are closed on Tuesday!  Figures! So, we went to another one of our local favorites.  There was a Family Dollar in the parking lot the last time we went.  It's been converted into a Dollar Tree.  A new Dollar Tree? Yes, please!  We went after eating. It was so clean and nice! I checked out the puzzles.  They had a LOT of good puzzles.  I ended up getting two 1000 pieces puzzles and six, 500 piece puzzles.  Yes, I bought 8 puzzles today. ^_^  Have I already startted on one? Yes!

I didn't do a lot since I got started so late, but I do have the outline done and a few pieces on one side. This is a bottle cap puzzle.  This will be my second bottle cap puzzle.  It's pretty cool. I think it will be fun to work.  It is so far!  The other puzzles are varied.  I took a picture of the collection of puzzles I got, the puzzle with it's present progress, and one extra picture.

When I walked out the backdoor to start my walk today, I saw this friend standing in the yard looking at me!  Please ignore the broken down car.  It belongs to a friend of mine and hopefully he'll tow it away eventually! lol

Oopsie!

I guess you know I waited too late to post anything last night.  I just uploaded the picture of the puzzle in progress!  I finished it today. :P . It was pretty fun.  The only bad thing is I am now out of puzzles.  Phooey!  I hope to get a few tomorrow.  Perhaps I can get to Dollar Tree!  

I walked today and yesterday at my usual time.  I also mowed the front lawn tonight.  I didn't want to, but it needed it, so I went ahead and did it.  I need to get the back part of the lawn that I haven't done yet, but I keep putting it off.  It's not going to be any easier the longer I wait.  lol 

Here is the completed puzzle. It's called Colorful Windows.  It was a fun puzzle.  I liked all the colors and I love the bigger pieces.  

Current progress

Vintage game shows FTW!

I added some channels to my Roku recently and decided to give them a try today.  The first I checked out was Stirr.  I found a channel that is all vintage game shoes.  It's like Game Show Network back in the day before they added a bunch of junk.  I've been watching it all afternoon.  I love the old game shows.  Right now Password Plus is on. :)

I walked later today than I usually do!  It was a bit after 6 when I left.  It was still light out when I got home so it was not a problem.  It was funny, as I was heading back, my friend texted me and said he was running to Cookout and he'd bring me some food if I wanted.  I texted him and told him I was walking back and might not be back by the time he'd be done. He said I should be so I said, ok!  I was actually on my street walking down it when he was driving by.  I had to wave at him as he didn't see me. LOL

I rode the few steps from where I was to my house.  The food was delicious.  I prefer to get home and cool off and relax before eating, but I wasn't going to complain.  I didn't have to worry about fixing dinner.  I tossed my bed linen in the dryer after I ate and now all I need to do is wash and dry my hair.  I  I might let it dry naturally.  It's warm enough now to be able to do that again.  It just depends.  

I didn't start my puzzle today.  I'll probably do that tomorrow.  I doubt I'll start it tonight since it's already past 9.  I think it's going to be a fun one.  It's very colorful and it has a lot of doors on it.  The pieces are nice and large, too.  I need to stock up on puzzles again! This is the last one I have.  Well, I do have a panoramic one that I've had for years that I've never opened.  The only bad thing about that is it won't fit on my whiteboard.  I was thinking it would when I got the whiteboard, but it won't fit.  It's way too long.  If I split it in half, I might be able to do it but that would be weird and confusing. lol
