7 Things

 1--A small economy--In the past when I wanted pimiento and cheese but did not want to make much, I used about a third of the tiny size of pimiento.  A month later, I would discover fuzzy pimiento in the refrigerator. So, this time I popped the tiny jar into the freezer door. I have not tested the pimiento to determine if this is all working out for me. I have full confidence I will have saved the leftover pimiento in a usable form. I know there is a chance the jar could break, but it is extremely thick glass and the jar is not full. If this did not work, I will let you know. 

2--Missing nightgowns--I had put the hamper with my dirty clothes in the kitchen for Tommy to take out and wash. When he brought the clothes back in, there were no nightgowns like I knew were in there. I took two at one time and dropped them in. I made him go out and get the towels and washcloths out of the dryer so I could see he made a mistake. Nope, no nightgowns. 

So, now I have a mystery. Two and possibly three missing nightgowns are a mystery since they are not in my bedroom or anywhere in the house.  ???

3--Floor lamp--There is now enough light for me to read. However, I cannot turn off the topmost light. So, I tip it towards Tommy and he turns if off and I tip it back up. It is not ideal, but I am happy with my $11 purchase. The light, lower of the two, that bends any direction, is the perfect lamp,especially with the upper light bouncing off the ceiling. The picture is the best I could find. It is six feet tall. 

4--Dollar Tree visit--so easy to spend money there! I will tell you about it later. It is a good thing I did not feel like walking! Only two things were on my list. 

5)--Nightgown mystery partially solved--Tommy went out to the trash can at my insistence and found one nightgown, the old threadbare one, in the trash along with a washcloth and two pair of panties. What is wrong with me? Tomorrow, he going to get the bottom bag out of the can. I will go out and help him! Really, I had the laundry ready and put it next to kitchen trash and just dropped dirty clothing into the wrong container. Last week, I put two pieces of trash into my laundry and Tommy came in laughing. 

6)--Why Tommy washes my clothes--I do not want to fall off the side of the carport, about 18 inches or more. Sometimes, it is dark and scary. I willingly carry his dinner or snacks to his chair everyday and multiple times a day, so I am not burdening him...lol. Believe me, I put in more steps for him than he does for laundry, and laundry is not an everyday thing.

7--New style mask--I am going to make one to securely cover only my nose when I have my teeth cleaned. It will be lined and have ear elastic. Covid19 enters mouth and nose, but more readily the nose--what I read. Maybe I will wear swim goggles on my eyes. I have my gloves and always carry a small throw to cover my feet. 

A List

Wednesday at the doctor 70 miles away was a round trip of 140 miles. I knew I would be exhausted. We had the soup tonight and salad, remainders of the Tuesday pickup lunch. I think both were better today than yesterday.

I have things to do. However, I have felt so horrid for months. It is not that I expect to have time on my hands during this covid19 time. However, I have high expectations that I will feel better soon with my meds filled. That may be wishful thinking, but that is just how hopeful I am.

List:

*Repair earrings and convert others to clip on
*File taxes online with Tommy's help
*strip bed, put on full cover with zipper
*put fitted pad on bed along with sheets
*wash and dry pink comforter for bed
*restring bracelet with elastic line for braacelets
*put my machine in its cabinet
*make new bra
*convert jumpsuit to pants
*put pockets in two pair of pants
* cut my hair
* cut Tommy's hair

That is my list for the week, until next Wednesday. Most likely, all this will not be done by next Wednesday.

Some earrings I bought last summer still have not been converted. Others have broken clips.  I finally have needle nose pliers and all the findings to do the job. One lobster clip on a necklace is broken.

I am paralyzed by the idea of filing taxes myself. Tommy will do it on my computer. It only will take the 1040EZ, but I am still frightened.

Because of my allergies, I need a mattress cover that covers the mattress and has a zipper. Then, it needs a soft, fitted cover. Sheets go on over all this. But, I cannot put a fitted sheet on a bed, much less pull a full cover that zips on. Tommy will help me.

The comforter will have to go in a machine at the laundry. Since I don't know the laundries around here, we will take it to Cullman where I do not have to search for a clean laundry.

My yellow bracelet broke. It is a long chain with jewels, stones attached.  Then, an elastic thread is run through the chain, making a chunky bracelet. I love my yellow bracelet.

My black Singer head needs to be lifted and put into my sewing cabinet so I can sew. Tommy will help with this, too.

I only made one bra after losing all. It is red and when the strap shows, it is not the right color...lol.

Last Monday, I bought  a jumpsuit from Belk's. It was originally $62 but was marked down to $7. That is a great price for pants.  I will use the skimpy top to make pockets. It is really pretty and made of rayon, so it is flowy, too.

One of the three nice outfits I bought last year when I returned the clothes my neighbor bought me, one  needs pockets, too.

All of this will not be completed in a week, but this is a list to look at when I have time or energy.

I am so optimistic I will feel better to help me get this stuff done. I need an improvement!

Today, I went in search of a thermometer and Dial pump soap. Tommy is not too clean after washing hands.

I wear a mask and continually wipe down carts and my palms. At Walgreen's we tried to pick up prescriptions at the drive up window. There were seven cars in line, and the line was not moving. I went inside and found a line of six people. My things were not ready, so another dozen people passed me by. I had to sit as I could not stand in line at all.

Publix--got bogo crackers, Wheat Thins Lightly Salted,  hair color, 2 lb. bag of blackeyed peas. Tommy eats all my crackers! Now, I am putting his name one and mine on the other. He can have some of my crackers, but we will know who eats them all!!! My color was out, so I got a slightly different color because it may be out soon. I only have navy beans, so I might need these for NYE. All the beans were gone on the shelves except two packages of BEP.

Dollar Tree. No thermometers. However, I did pass these little bins that I am going to use in the refrigerator because everything is stacked and all over so that nothing can be found and stuff falls on the floor. He just tumbles things!

Are you home and planning to do things that need doing? Remember, I am always home. I just feel like my health will improve since seeing my endocrinologist  and I might just accomplish something.
