tuesday

I was extra tired this morning when I woke up. I stayed in bed a while trying to go back to sleep. I finally got up around 7:15AM after MonsterMustDie had gone to work. I walked down to put a last bit of trash in the bin for pickup this morning and saw that he had put dead holiday lights in it. I've been struggling to convince him not to put electronics in the regular trash, where he wants to put everything. He also put the styrofoam I had in a separate bag in the recycle bin, which I did take back out so I can run it to the foam recycling location at the library later.

I did get my hair cut this afternoon. I finally decided it was too much to have to wear a hat or hairband constantly and the bangs were too long down my face not to pull my hair back. I figured that I'd rather not wear a hat everywhere.

monday

This is turning out to be another exceptionally boring day, too cold to walk or work outside and no one around.
Once again, the only time I got outside the house all day was to go to Harris Teeter for a few extra things.

sunday

Very this morning. MonsterMustDie slept until 9:00 AM. I got up at 8:00 AM.
This is turning out to be an exceptionally boring day, too cold to walk or work outside and no one around.
I ended the day driving to Harris Teeter to pick up my prescription shampoo. While I was there, I also bought some kefir and spice tea that looked good to me. That was the only time I got out of the house today.

We invited Karen and Bob here for a simple dinner. I made a frozen pasta dish and pan-roasted chicken breasts. Karen made a green salad for everyone. We spent a long time talking at the dining room table.

friday

MonsterMustDie's "holiday party" at work is this afternoon. He left the house wearing my red knit cap and carrying the mandatory red holiday sweatshirt with him. I plan to take the sweatshirt after he's done with it - I only have one ragged pink sweatshirt at home and I really need more in my warm loungewear.

Thursday

It was a sunny, clear day. Quite windy.

Really enjoyed Zoom with Women's Night this evening. We got to catch up with each other and asked what everyone was or was not doing this year for the holidays. Some good suggestions were made. I always learn things from these discussions. Loved seeing and hearing everyone.

Wednesday

This should be a good day for me, as I am a social creature who craves company and the stimulation of other people.
We are planning to meet up with friends from Black Mountain this afternoon.
Then, we have a Zoom with a couple friends in Atlanta tonight.

No walk today.
Did a snort of Nasacort for the first time in a very long time just to try to stop having to attempt to blow my nose constantly. I have some sort of irritation just inside my left nostril. The spray seemed to work.

tuesday

It's recycling pick-up day here in my town.
Outside, it's cold and wet but still no snow or ice... well, there might be some black ice on the street that I don't know about.
Ben Anderson's crew came by this afternoon and cleaned out our gutters for the winter, post-fall season. The roof here should be fine until the next gutter-clearing Spring, when remaining leaves and pollen drop, now.

Foggy Morning

Really impressive fog this morning.
Today was the USS Bonaventure Trekmas party with Dirty Ferangi game. We all brought bags of food for the local pantry this year as well. The favorite thing I brought home this year was a cube of MM's from the guess-how-many game. The most stealable gifts were chocolates or tree ornaments.
Later on, I think I finished what little gift shopping I have to do. Now, I just need to gift wrap it, box it, and mail it.

friday

I woke up kinda sluggish with the vague sense of a headache but my head was fine after the first cup of morning coffee.
I went online with Medicare and had another Zoom chat with A about my Medicare Plan. We all seem to agree that my option is to choose passive enrollment because I am out of the six-month initial enrollment period and any attempted changes could throw off a system that is currently working for me without giving me any new benefits whatsoever because I am now subject to underwriting by all providers, including BCBS.

Thursday

Yesterday, MonsterMustDie noticed my passenger-side brake light was out so replacing that was my task for today. I took it into Firestone, where they told me that I needed to buy four new tires for $917.53. I took a print of the quote for tires and just had the light replaced for $18.66. *sigh*

I pulled a steak out of the freezer to cook tonight with the small potatoes MonsterMustDie brought home this week. Around 1:00pm, I was considering what to have for lunch. We have a few frozen entrees - most are his - and various bits in the refridgerator. MonsterMustDie looked at me and said it was a bad idea to eat lunch just 4 or five hours before I plan to eat dinner, like two whole meals a day is too much. This is an old man who survives entirely on low-alcohol beer and "protein bars". I pulled out an Orgain shake for lunch and closed the refridgerator door. I am between a rock and a hard place trying to eat healthier at home.

Another problem I have is that, probably just because I am easily distracted, I can not seem to accomplish anything after lunch these days. Looking back over my unproductive week, I can have one task a day to complete in the morning. Today is finished.
