Guilt: The Great Motivator

I don't remember what I did on Sunday, besides being on a conference call most of the morning. I talk with my Elliot Lake family every morning and then my Brother and SIL in Smiths Falls always call on Sunday morning. I know the weather was hot and I definitely stayed indoors. I probably just puttered around  (I baked some buns) and napped. I have been distracted and anxious lately. My dad is doing poorly. "Dee" had a nurse come in yesterday and this morning to administer an IV drip.

I do remember that I did absolutely nothing yesterday, because I hardly left this chair. I was well planted in front of this fan watching You Tube videos all day long. Except for making meals, requesting another grocery order on-line  and turning on the dishwasher, I did nothing. Instead of playing on-line crosswords last night, I played Bingo.

This morning I did not want to have a repeat performance. I emptied the dishwasher, took some sausage from the freezer for dinner tonight and made a pitcher of iced tea. I took my garbage and recycling out to the curb and watered my three large front stairs planters. I made a batch of yoghurt, baked a loaf of keto bread, fried a package of bacon for the freezer, and shredded and sauteed a head of cabbage. I wiped down the sinks, the stove and counter tops. I washed up the acrylic stamps I used recently in making cards and then watered the indoor plants. I mowed the front lawn and boulevard, before making lunch at 2 o'clock. This afternoon I am giving myself permission to sit on the computer but I have to first do my blog and write responses to peoples' blogs that I enjoy reading every day. I am also hoping that someone calls me by the end of the day to take down my grocery list.

There is no rain in the forecast, so this afternoon I set up my new sprinkler. It took some time because it is a narrow but long area. I wanted to reach the full length, but don't want it to intrude on my next door neighbour's yard. That is why I paid a little more for a sprinkler where I can limit the field of spray. Now that I have found the right angles and the right spot in the yard to place it, I have asked Alexa to let me know when a half hour is up. I tend to forget things like that. I might go to bed with the water still running. Oops. When the weather cools down a bit, I want to remove those bins from the yard and place them inside the shed. I will bring them out and use them when and if my seed starts get any bigger. Have a great evening. Hope the heat isn't getting to you and that you are staying safe.
