Hey

Lately some of the sentences were incomplete and then visible and so forth and so on.
Decided to try a new thread to see if that fixes it.

To not offend anybody with Triskaidekaphobia I made this phase 14.

See you soon 😉

I love hummingbirds! The coral bells are just about to open, so the hummingbirds should come looking for them soon.

One year we had one accidentally fly into the house and I got it to perch on my finger and carried it outside. It was amazing!

It's raining very hard off and on today. We don't see flat cat when it rains.

I have mixed feelings about the pizza. We are supposed to stay home, but restaurants are allowed to be open for carry out. And we want to keep our restaurant in business. But I also worry about the employees. But they also need jobs.....

Dh put in our grocery order for pick up tonight.

Dh also ordered parts to fix the mower and a new CO detector by mail. We decided that if you take your CO detector outside and reset it and it goes off again, and then you change the battery and reset it, and it still goes off outside, either it is broken or the whole neighborhood is doomed.

I am doing dishes and laundry today. Tomorrow I have to go to school, unload the kiln, And pack up the kids work,. Then I put it out in the parking lot again and they come to collect it and put new work on the cart. I load the work from the cart, Start the kiln again, wash up, and come home. I will probably bring home another load of stuff from my room.

I had my first covid 19 related dream last night. We went back to school, but my boss wouldn't make the students wear masks. We had a big fight about it. I woke up during the fight.

Yesterday, I told my daughter I was sad thinking about possibly not being able to take care of my grandson. Dsil said "that's six months from now. We don't know what is going to happen in six months. We could have a cure. Or anarchy." Dd said if it was anarchy they would move in with us and I could see the baby all the time.

Good Morning Tatoulia 🙂

WAY TO GO! eliminating those items that have bad emotions attached to them!!!
Life is too short to keep around things with bad mojo!

A pillow with beads, sequins, buttons & bows, etc.
is so wrong.
You cannot use it comfortably like a pillow is supposed to be used. ;p
I have also seen quilts decked out that way and think how unwelcoming they are.

GOOD LUCK! with the car.
About every week or 10 days I have been starting up the car to keep the battery charged and it's been working fine.
Just have that nesting yellowjacket problem to keep in check. :O

FANTASTIC progress on the closet project!
Soon, very soon you will be able to access Narnia through there. 😉

But best of all is you letting go of items that remind you of bad times and negative emotions.
That's where Marie Kondo's "spark joy" method of deciding really resonates with me.
If an item sparks happy emotions or indifferent emotions, I can keep it.
If an item makes me feel bad in any way it must leave.

Washed sheets & pillow cases this morning and they are out on the line.
Tonight they will smell so wonderful when I put them on my bed and sleep with them. 😀

Good Sunday Morning
"Clink!

My yard has been swarming with Hummingbirds the last two weeks.
They come every Spring, raise babies, stay all Summer then migrate in Autumn to warmer climates over the Winter.

For this last week there has been this one Hummingbird that has been coming to the back porch.
When I go out to feed little Cowgirl kitty it hovers at face level "screaming" at me.
Then sits on some wires Steven has draped around near the ceiling.
Hovers face level screaming some more then flying off through the carport.

I keep looking to see if it is nesting near there but so far haven't seen any nest.
But their nests are so tiny it could be anywhere.

I used to hang Hummingbird feeders out.
But Steven's hoard gets so many yellowjacket wasps that the Hummingbird feeders were always getting covered with wasps and no Hummingbird or Oriole could get near them to drink.

Anyways...
Having a Hummingbird screaming right at my face doesn't bother me in the least.
I find it to be very cute. 😀

Sometimes when I am out weeding my garden one will come hover over my shoulder watching what I'm doing.
Almost daily one will come hover at the window looking at the cat.

Dear little hummingbird! So sweet. Love hearing about the wildlife including Flat Cat!

I'm working on my closet. Have been through a bunch of bags of paper. Getting through it. Committed.

Will go to car in a bit to try to drive it. Yikes. I'll
Also take that bag of donations. A crazy little bunch of stuff. Including that final pillow that the friend brought me two years ago. My sister took one. I just am not a sequins and beads girl. Doesn't fit my vision for my life. Ever. I think it's safe that she won't visit again. It's hard to tell but it seems unlikely. I resent holding it for her.

I put a measuring cup in there too. I remember when I bought it. I hated the store, I hated who I was with and I had an all around miserable day. So why should I bake with it? I also got rid of a fridge magnet that brought up different bad feelings. I've learned so much here.

Love you all so much.

HaHaHa Flat Cat HaHaHa ;D

You're getting pretty close
keep it up and she will soon be drinking her treats herself.

Had one feral kitty boy who trusted me because I promised I would never try to touch him.
And I didn't.
He kept coming closer and closer day after day, week after week.
Then after a time he started rubbing on my ankles.
One night as I was putting the food out he put his head into my hand.
So I petted him and he absolutely loved it and could never get enough pettings after that.

YEA! for a drive and a pizza too!!!
I have been wanting pizza or a hamburger but to get it I would have to leave the house.
There are signs all along the roads saying "STAY HOME".

Little Cowgirl kitty came by for her supper and the fur on her back is lightly singed.
Other than that she looked alright.
Think maybe she went under a hot car???

Today I got within 8 ft of the new kitty. I tried to give it a treat of goat milk, but it ran away, and then mr. kitty ate the treat.

The new kitty has short legs and a wide stocky body and wide flat face. When it sees us, it crouches down very tight to the ground. Today Dh named it "Flat cat".

The weather was nice today, so Dh and i took a drive into town for a takeout pizza.

Today I washed my purple wool blanket so I can store it away until next Winter.
Have it on the clothesline and there is a brisk enough breeze to "fluff" it. 🙂

This ALWAYS happens...

I get all the dishes washed, rinsed, dried and put away.
As I am finishing wiping up the stove top and counter, etc. I turn around and the little beggars are sitting at the edge of the kitchen linoleum staring holes into my head, begging for a bowl of can food.

So before I am ever finished with kitchen clean up
they are dirtying up more dishes.
The dishes are never done...

Tatoulia,

I am so sorry about your friend. I'm afraid we are going to lose a lot of good people before this ends.

Let us know how the trip yo Narnia goes.

CM, good wishes for your roommate's recovery, and for your cousin.

Tillie, I really appreciate you keeping us up on all the news there. I really hope you get your cooler set up soon.

New kitty came by this morning to hang out in the driveway. Mr. kitty went out to join and they stared at each other from a few feet apart for a bit - too close for social distancing! Then new kitty followed Mr. kitty around the yard for a short time until Mr. kitty got annoyed and chased his shadow across the front yard. New kitty stopped at the edge of the woods and Mr. kitty came in for a nap.

Now Mr. kitty is outside pretending to hunt chickens. The chickens are not amused.

Dh has gone to play golf again. I am not sure how I feel about this golf playing. I'm not sure it is entirely safe. But I actually like having him gone for a little while. I generally like having him around, but having him here in the house working is somehow tiring from another person without any of the reward of actually being with dh. When he is here, even if he is out in the woods and I am alone, I don't feel alone. And I need alone time.

It is sunny and not too cold, and I want my garden to be nice and my stalls to be clean. But I don't have any motivation to do anything. I just feel tired. I wanted to sleep late this morning. I did sleep in a little, but Dh came at 6:00 and woke me up and begged and cajoled until I got up and made him breakfast. It would have been less effort for him to just make his own breakfast.

12 more days of video school.

Good Morning Everyone

Hi Subclinical
I had been wondering if the New Kitty was still coming around.
Sounds like the two cats have reached an agreement. ;D

If you had a "Guard" Turkey, Mr. Kitty would learn not to tease the Chickens. LOL

Yes, alone time, real alone time.
So necessary.
Only time I get that is when he's out socializing or his frequent grocery trips so it's not good alone time for me.

At least golfing is outside in the fresh air.
If they keep far enough away from each other and don't touch things and wash their hands, they should be alright.
Safer than a trip to the grocery store.

Sorry you weren't allowed to sleep in this morning.
At least the cats here wait until my eyes are open before they nag me for breakfast.

Beautiful cool morning here.

Scooter found where I hid Mousie last afternoon this morning.
I've been hiding his snacks around too.
This hunting for treasures seems to be making him happy.

The yellow Roses are lovely but my allergies from them are horrid.
At least the Lilacs only make me sneeze when I stick my face into their fragrant blooms.

Looking for some motivation to do something creative.
But have a bad case of "why bother?".

Will get outside and get some vitamin D before it gets hot today. 😉

I will watch some hoarders too! That's what started me out in the first place! Yes I'm going back in! I got some done last weekend and I want more done this weekend!!!! Keep moving forward!!!

I had Brigham's chocolate ice cream. My friend has vanilla to which she added tiny chocolate chips. She also had a very good, fascinating story to tell and I was riveted!!

Mom continues in a good mood. She's so great. She's loving my daily postcards, which I've upped to two a day. Other friends are also writing to her.

On Monday of this week I did every bit of laundry in my home. Imagine how great I felt!!! I will need to do more soon, but I don't think I'll make it anywhere near the washer this weekend. Although, people don't do laundry the way I do. They mix sheets with towels with shirts and I'm all about "like fabrics" in addition to sorting by color. So when I do five loads, they would've done two. They must think I'm nuts.

Tillie I hope Steven continues to work on the cooler. I don't want you overheating.

CM you've had a long day of worry. I am grateful your cousin is getting the medical care she needs and I am grateful your roommate is back home. How nice that she has a lovely family. Must make it much easier on you.

Okay back to bed. I've been laying down for a few hours. Just because.

My depression continues to be lifted and I am surprised and pleased.

Good Night
9:30ish here

That's very good news CriticalMass.
Roommate is home and doing well.
Van had maintenance and won't eat all the money to fix.
Still sending good thoughts to your Cousin.
Hopefully that MRA will help the doctors know how to fix her.
Sweet dreams and restful sleep to you and Roommate (((HUG)))

Hi Tatoulia
I ran out of chocolate ice cream the other week.
It was so good and I miss it.

So happy you are motivated to get back into that closet! 😀

It is one less worry that your Mom is content and receiving daily mail.
Still able to be connected to the world outside.

The one thing that helps lift the depression is acceptance.
Accepting that this is the way things are for now and we can do nothing to hurry it up.
At least the stores are better able to restock so we all can get what we need and want, just like before.

I always sort fabrics like with like.
Sheets & pillow cases, towels and wash cloths, etc.
And do dark things together and light things together.
Cold water wash loads and hot water wash loads.
That's how I was taught to do it.

Have had a bag of frozen raspberries in the freezer for a while, saving them.
Decided that tomorrow I will make a cobbler with them.
Just throwing caution to the wind and eating up all the food I have here on hand too.
I already ate all the cookies and candy in the house.

Today the write in ballots came in the mail.
I am happy to vote this way.
Steven threw an ugly fit, says it's a conspiracy to manipulate the outcome.
"heavy sigh"

Yay Tatoulia for decluttering mojo!

Tillie, fingers crossed the cooler gets completely up and running.

My roommate returned about 1:30 looking really pale. They hadn't given her pain meds to go home on. After her sister and hubby got the pills picked up and she took one, she felt better and had some color. She's been up and about more later in the day here.

I finally got word on my cousin. They got it worked out today to transport her to Kansas City where there is an MRA machine. Like an MRI only it can image the insides and linings of blood vessels.

My van got the oil changed, the AC is okay, but it needs a new valve cover gasket. I had wondered when it might because there had been some leakage. My stimulus money did come on Wednesday, and I think it will take a chunk but not the whole thing. And I think it's a good investment to prevent bigger problems. So that is set to happen on Tuesday.

We are all pretty tired from this day that started at Zero Dark Thirty. I feel confident I will sleep well. Hoping my roommate does too, and her family.

You so CAN do it Tatoulia!
It all begins with the thought and mood mojo.
That's really the hard part, the thinking about it and then wanting to get it done. 🙂

That diningroom closet?
YEA! you're going back into Narnia! 😉

Let the music play!!!

An ice cream social sounds like a lot of fun!.
But you neglected to tell us what flavor ice cream you had.
Bored lonely people really want to know. LOL

From the news on my internet homepage, your state is still very infectious.
Nevada is a tourist destination. With all resorts and casinos and everything all shut down
Nevada is a very quiet place without all the tourists. Lots of small rural communities and Indian Colonies, Airforce/Navy/coast Guard bases and bombing ranges, lots of BLM and deserted desert.

You have high humidity, because the air is so dry here I have a lot of static electricity.

ANNOUNCEMENT
A&E put up more episodes of "HOARDERS" on Youtube.

So, lots of free episodes to watch to help motivate. 😀

Tomorrow Netflix will have episodes of "HOARDERS" again too.

He has done a little bit more toward setting up the cooler.

Ate the last 2 eggs for brunch today.
Scrambled with a bit of cheddar cheese melted in and 2 pieces of buttered rye toast.

Have no plans to make any recipes that require eggs, so I'm good. 🙂

Tillie! I'm so pleased about the virus news in your county! Boston continues to have a lot of people exhibiting truly unsafe behavior. Very upsetting.

Good for you to get your water! That will taste so yummy. Nothing beats a cool glass of water.

I missed my yoga class tonight. I thought it was 5:30. It was 4:30. Oh well. I'll go back to Tuesday nights because I know when those start.

I had an "ice cream social" with a friend via FaceTime today. I've gotten good at this. It feels like an absolute visit!

It got sunny and humid here today. I ran up to see BF for two seconds then ran to grocery store quickly for ice cream. So humid and I hopped in shower the second I got back.

I'm going to lay down a bit. I'm really, really happy with my decluttering thoughts right now. I'm ready to let go. So I'll be back in my dining room closet later tonight or early tomorrow.

I am so pleased with how I'm thinking. If I put on music, I can do it!!

Iced chai masala "Clink!"

Hoping with you CriticalMass that no news means good news about your Cousin.

Happy Roommate's family are with her today.
They sound like wonderful people and will help put her mind at ease.

Fingers still crossed the van costs nothing more than new oil and oil filter, XXX

Keep up that good feeling about cleaning and decluttering momentum!
Don't stop doing all the precautions to keep yourself healthy, no matter what the idiots are doing (((HUG)))

Hi Subclinical 🙂

Hi Tatoulia
That cake sounds delicious. Happy you felt like cake making again 🙂

YEA! for the pretty paper plates and napkins and at a super discount too!
Little Sister Kitty will be so happy to have someone take care of her litter box.
You take such good care of the Cleaning Fairies (((HUG)))

Honestly, we are never "done" decluttering.
But there is no backlog of decisions to make.
Seasons change, new items are brought in, our moods shift.
Tiny decluttering sessions need to happen at least once every year.
Otherwise we all end up with just too much stuff.
LOL 😉

OK, need to do cat things and get dressed.
Plan to be at the bank about 10am. then fill the water bottles.
Will come right back home without any people contact.

My county is still only 3 infected one death and about 150 people tested negative.
They only test sickly people.
Today all the county officials will get together and make plans and decide how to proceed with the shut down and if/when some places can open.
No matter what they say I will continue to self isolate and take precautions at the grocery store, the only place I ever need to go.
Thinking I will cancel/reschedule my dental appointment that's in June to sometime in the Autumn, just to be safe.

Happy May
or not, whatever...
It is May 1st.

Left home at 9:45am and returned at 10:30am.

At the bank I very briefly spoke with the teller through the intercom.
The water depot has 4 filling stations with more than ample room between them.
Spoke to no one there as I filled my bottles.

The water depot machines take 1s and 5s, quarters, dimes and nickels.
Since I have not been out buying anything other than water I was out of everything but 20 dollar bills.
That's why I had to go to the bank and get 50 dollars in 5 dollar bills. That or go into a business and see if they would give me change, exposing myself to virus.
Now I have all my water bottles filled and have plenty of small bills for future refills.

Steven is still in bed.
Beautiful morning where he could be setting up the cooler.
