I did complete quite a few things on last week's list. We went on our outing, bought a plant to replace one of the 3 that died this winter and got it in the ground. I went and watched the 3 year old's swim lesson while visiting with my DIL and older granddaughter. I walked or did yard work 5 days and we did a good job on eating leftovers - pretty much the usual.
I also went to a meeting for people supporting the initiative to fund a new library in the city. The vote on that is during the upcoming primary elections on June 2nd.

Carried over to this week
Finish mopping floors - both bedrooms and both bathrooms left.
Shop for a couple of nice lighter weight pants outfits for Spring/Summer.
Decide if I am going to start drawing again. I should take inspiration from the 9 year old grandgirl who carries a notebook with her to write poetry and stories and make pencil drawings. She just crosses out any she doesn't like and keeps going. My perfectionism gets in the way.
Added to the list for this week
Son's birthday celebrated in some way. He's a low key guy about his birthday and only wants family to celebrate.
Decide if I am going to sign up for any recreation center summer programs. Line dancing lessons for seniors perhaps? The completely refurbished lap pool opens at the beginning of May so it just might be time to get a new swimsuit and take water aerobics (and meet some people) or private lessons to get my stamina and technique back a little bit.
Listen to a debate by the top Governor candidates for the primary election.
Get a haircut.
I kinda took last week off...as in accomplished nothing memorable...other than celebrating our 50th anniversary. That was memorable, but makes me feel even older. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary! Hope you had a good time celebrating.
DeleteDefinitely do start drawing again - progress and creativity over perfection!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know lol
DeleteWell done. As today was pretty nice Harvey went out and got the front yard ready for some planting.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Tis the season for yardwork.
DeleteI will say that I have checked out of politics due to utter disillusionment with my fellow citizens. They showed me/us twice now who they are, and finally I believe them. I will continue to vote my morals, but otherwise have elected not to care. Yes, I'm now quite cynical.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, you should definitely draw, as you are very talented,per artwork you've shared here before!
I can understand your cynicism. I'm more in the the despair camp at this time. Thanks for the compliment on my artwork. It's been a long time since I did any.
DeleteBeautiful bush. Looks something like our sages. Hope it thrives. I vote Yes for buying a little journaling sketching notebook and taking it with you on walks with the pup. Or just into the backyard. That's such a pretty space. And I need to follow my own advice..
