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

On time today!

I got my walk it at the regular time today.  It was a bit cooler earlier so that was nice.  I forgot to carry any change with me and I couldn't get a drink at my half way point.  I was going to use Google or Samsung pay but I hadn't set up one with the right card, and they one I did set up I needed the number on the back of the card.  I was only off one number. In other words, I didn't get a drink!  Oh well, at least it wasn't as hot as it has been.

After I came home, I did my usual things.  I had lunch and then was relaxing a bit. I remembered that I had planned to go to the recycle center, so I loaded up my car and went.  I got that done and then went over to Food Lion to recycle my bags.  The recycling bins have "no plastic bags" on them, so I save those separately.  Food Lion has bins outside just for those, so I got those recycled too!  I left my car running at both places.  I was able to get down there and back with no issues, so that was good.

I picked up my book again last night and I actually read more on it than I have since I started it. lol It's getting a lot better and there have been some new characters added that I like.  One of them is a pup!  i love dogs, so I love books with dogs in them.  Heck, my Zombie books are full of dogs. LOL . We have... let's see, two grown Corgis, many Corg pups, a Jack Russell, a mini Doxie, a terrier mix, a poodle mix, a lab, a golden mix, lab and golden puppies, and ... I think that is all? Yeah, we have a lot of dogs.  There are three cats, too! :P The dog in this book is a Viszla.  Very cute pooches!  They better not kill the dog.  That will ruin the entire book.

I am going to read some more on that after I post this.  I have all my other chores done for today, so I can spent some time reading.  I would like to finish it tonight, but I don't know if I'll have time.  OH! I forgot to mention that I DID get the Goodreads widget to work!  It's on the blog now so you can check it out. :)

Spring Fling!

Spring Fling, you ask?  That is the name of the design on the blog at the moment.  I always loved this one a lot and was able to get it to show up correctly.  Typepad support was able to get to display when I couldn't.  I went and changed something and then went back to it and it wouldn't display correctly. D'oh! I went in and did some more work and got it to display.  I'm not sure why my blog is giving me so many issues.  Boo on that!  Oh well, it's up.  I didn't realize that when I had the Macaroons, I didn't have my link list.  It is now back.  I might even try again with the GoodNotes widget.  Maybe it will work now? Who knows! :P

So today, when I was supposed to walk, it was raining off and on.  My weather apps all said different things!  I decided to not walk at my usual time and hope it was okay later.  I was able to get a walk in a bit after 5pm. It's a good thing I went when I did!  It rained and stormed off and on after that!  I was glad to have my walk completed.  I was home well before the storms hit. I even stopped off at CVS on my way back and picked up a few essentials that I needed.  One was buy one get one half off but they only had the one. The nice cashier gave me 25% off the item so that worked out well. I also had a $5.00 coupon for $5.00 in Extra bucks and used that.  I had over $10 worth of items and I ended up paying $3.00 and some change.  Nice!

I couldn't wash my hair when I came home because I need to cool down and relax for a moment.  Then, it was lightning, so I had to wait.  I just got that done and I'm sitting here with my hair up in a turby twist thingee.  I did not want to sit under the hair bonnet dryer.  I just hope it dries before bedtime. I don't usually wait this late to wash it!  My bed linen is in the dryer and I just need to get that and put it back on the bed.

I am in serious need of a snack.  Too bad I don't have any snacks in the house.  I do have some popsicles though.  They can be a nice cool snack. :p . I have been working on my packing list for the beach trip as I go along.  I already have a ton of shirts to carry.  I carry more than I need because when I walk during the day, I come back to the room all hot and sweaty and I don't want to wear that shirt if we go out in the evening.  I'm going to pack enough so I'll have at least two shirts a day.  I also figured I could wash some in the sink and toss them on the balcony to dry and re-wear them.  

Speaking of shirts, I was looking on eBay and I came across a really cute Finn one.  It was a Loot Crate exclusive.  It will shock anyone who knows me.  It doesn't have Jake on it anywhere! LOL . It was just too cute to pass up and since it was in a Loot Crate, I wouldn't have been able to get it any other way.  I paid less than $10 for it shipped, so I'm pretty happy about that!  

I wanted to order myself a Dead Dog Saloon shirt from DD at Murrell's Inlet, but they don't have any of their shirts on their site for sale at the moment.  Weird!  I am hoping we'll go to the Dead Dog while we are down there, but there is no guarantee.  If we do, I'm probably going to get a shirt.  

I have filled up my Beach Trip Bingo completely now except for one space!  I still need to figure out what to put in that space.  I made sure to only put things in there that I knew we'd do or things I could get to on my own.  My friend sometimes gets cranky and doesn't want to do certain things, so I only put things on there that I know I can accomplish.  Examples include: Visit the Gay Dolphin, Starbucks, Walk on beach, etc.  It's going to be fun to fill my bingo card. ^_^

Okay, I think I've rambled on enough for one day!  I need to get a few more things done and then I'm going to relax for a bit.  I'm currently reading a zombie book that is pretty boring. LOL . It's not that it's boring, really, I just don't care for the characters.  I'm going to try to finish it so I can get on to something else!  Wish me luck!  I also plan to try the Goodreads widget again. If you don't see a Goodreads widget on my blog by Monday, I failed again. :P

Wednesday

I woke up so out of sorts today.  It took me a while to get myself to get up and out of bed. I made it finally.  I got my walk in at my usual time, too.  It wasn't easy to get up and go after being so tired, but I did it.  I  made the mistake of drinking some apple juice too late last night.  I don't know what it is about apple juice, but it gives me some weird ass dreams!  I know better than to drink it before bed.  I didn't drink it right before bed.  It was too close though.  I'll not make that mistake tonight!

I didn't get to Dollar Tree today to look for puzzles sadly.  I meant to go, but I never got around to it.  It was so hot on my walk, and I have no air in my car.  Plus, when I drive and the car overheats, I have to blast the heat to keep it from completely overheating and I was not in the mood for that today.  In the winter time, it is not a problem, in the hot months, it's unbearable!

It kept clouding up and I swear a few times I felt drops of rain while walking, but it never rained on me. It did rain briefly this afternoon though.  I looked out sometime after I got home from my walk and the street was wet, so it rained at least a little bit.  I'm glad it waited!  I am hoping to get to bed tonight at a decent hour.  Last night it was after 3am and it was like that the night before.  I need some extra sleep!
