Hand surgery completed and I can tell I’ll have good mobility during healing. The bandage is not too constrictive and fingers moving just fine. Now I need a nap.

She was probably just waiting for me to take the other stuff out of it so there was room for her.

Could I talk you into spoilering playoffs discussion? We don’t pay for cable and watch the MLB hightlights on Youtube later.

Yes you can! I’m sorry! Didn’t know I had any other big baseball fans on the forum!

Husband is a big fan; I’ve really just gotten into it this season.
Well, maybe last season. I was at a baseball game when I had my heart attack. Which I guess means it’s a wonder I’m still interested!

Finally found a home for the last piece of furniture that doesn’t fit in the new place. Happily, it didn’t go to landfill or someone who would sell it. The taker says they are going to use it!

There was chat here recently about cleaning behind the refrigerator. I’m not sure I’ve ever done it in the 13 years I’ve lived here. 
I’m proud to say that today was the day! And also, there was probably 3 cats worth of hair under it. It doesn’t have exposed coils on the back so that probably helped things. I did take a picture which will not be shared here. Ha. I do clean all of the other house things, that just never occurs to me.
Thanks I guess to whoever was talking about it.

I need a recipe to use up 1/2 can cream/chicken soup. Found a casserole recipe I an adapt, online. Cut/pasted it onto a text doc. Printed it. DELETED the link. I will adapt the printed copy, copy it into my cards and discard the paper. NOTHING extra to keep! 
The TV is that I thought of this. Usually? I don’t and then have swathes of paper printouts to go through and digital files by the 1,000s.

Kinda a victory but really proud ( not of me)- tonight I had 2 aquafit only ladies come do my weight class. They have never done weights, went super light, stood in front of me not hiding in the back row. They were not perfect, did what they could, and finished the class, which is not an easy class, and I am so fucking proud that they did this big scary thing. I told them how proud I am that they did it!
One will come back on Monday morning to do it again, maybe the other will too.

I’ve been getting some exterior house stuff done, it feels really good. I scrubbed my front porch railing really well and painted the wood walls, front door and concrete floor. I also scraped and sanded the floor and filled low spots because I never did much previously other than paint it and it was definitely time for a more thorough job. (It had outdoor carpet on it when I bought the house so there’s glue all over it.) The floor will never be smooth but it’s much better and good enough for my old house. I also bought an adorable orange door mat that says “hello”. I also painted the back door and the wood ceiling overhang there because sap bled through.
I do still need to paint the ceilings on the front porch and the screen porch but that’s going to wait until next spring. I asked a contractor to paint some areas that are too high for me to reach, I hope he gets here this fall yet. So by spring, the outside of the house will be in good shape.

Today I/we:
- Picked up the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
- Hosted 3 people visiting.
- Did laundry/dealt with the clothes and household fabric bits.
- Swept living room, hall, and kitchen.
- Roasted a chicken, made peach gravy, made peach muffins.
- Broke up the food in such a way that there’s enough in the freezer for a later meal, drippings for soup/stock, and the carcasse in the fridge for tomorrow’s meal too. We should get 3 meals from the chicken, easily. I’d like 5 meals, but I’ll take whatever I can get. The chicken was $11.46, so 3 meals would be $3.82 each meal or $1.91 per portion.
I MADE myself write all this down because, as usual, at the end of the day I’m struck with “What did I actually do all day?” And this is my victory. I made myself write it down and give myself credit. I WAS busy, yes, but still I would be inclined to act as if what I did didn’t count…
