11.25

I did a ton of things on my to-do list. I had typed up the first 30 things so I didn't have to flip 4 pages in my notebook and it helped.  I went to Goodwill Donation Center, Babies R Us, Target, Goodwill (to donate the weight bench since it's too big for the donation center), and then to Sprouts. That was a busy couple hours.

I did some laundry. I cropped some pictures. I added some pictures to my CA album. I finally sewed the hem on my one running shirt. I've had that on my to-do list for 5 or so months. I sewed the fabric on 2 onesies that needed to be sewn in black.  I forget what else I did but there was actually more. The only TV I watched was a half hour show while I ate lunch. I didn't clean the kitchen or dining room though.

Dave and I cooked dinner. Then we weren't productive and watched Suits from back in September. Now we are caught up.  Poly sure favors me. She is restless when she's on Dave and she was only on Dave twice because he snatched her from me so I could have a break from her.  She would lie on him but she would stare at me and look slightly uneasy on him. It was funny. She'd just hop right on over to cuddle with me.

I haven't done a collage of pictures of my day in many months so decided to do a few. I included too many but I also have many I did not include.

7.2 - Sewing, Pantry, Cleaning

I forgot to take my daily picture until I was half changed into my pajamas.
Polo shirt: JCP in 2005
Necklace: Sears
I wore jeans. I think they were from VS. I wore my black gladiator sandals.

I wasn't that productive early in the day. Then I started altering my skirt. I don't like that it goes to the calves. I want it to go to the knee.  Dave wanted to leave to go somewhere so I dropped everything and went with him. I also wanted to buy some elastic. It would make my job easier.

We ended up going to a diner and then to the frozen yogurt place on Freedom Road.

After I got home, I finished sewing.  Sewing straight lines is hard work. Also it isn't the best idea to guess how to use your sewing machine. I should have practiced on scrap fabric. I didn't know how to work the settings and ended up winging it.    I ended up staying up too late and then get a second wind. So after Dave went to sleep I ended up cleaning the pantry and laundry room.

We had a lot of expired food. We had a lot of food in general.  The pictures are how I left it when I went to sleep. I threw away 3 little garbage bags worth of food (expired crackers, chips, etc.)

Look how neat the washer and dryer look. Usually there's a box or 2 of junk on the dryer and then a ton of stuff on top of that.  The sofa table is clean too.

Then at 1am I started reading another book by Dean Karnazes. Jessie got me hooked.  I started reading his second book first. Second I went on to read his first book.  They are so good. They motivate me to run. But the bad part is I really want to keep reading so then I spend time reading instead of running.
