Good morning LIz and everyone else,
One of these days, the cranes will fly. Do they need that ultraflight plane to start them or can they go on their own if they want?
I am up and going this morning, although later than I would like to be. Slept in till a bit after 7. Had a furry body keeping me company last night and we were all nice and comfty. But the day is calling, so time to get with it.
Yesterday I got going early too, but didn't get on the road to town as early as I wanted to. But I had some bills to pay, namely the property taxes and a medical co pay
Those necessary things in life I guess. So had to write out the checks etc. Paid the taxes on my way to town as the township treasuer has office hours on Tues and Thurs. So that's out of the way till next year.
Then went in and did some shopping, not much but still spent more than I wanted. Doesn't take much with prices they way they are. Had to buy the "furry crew" some dry dog food. Can't have them running out or they might swipe my charge card and go on a buying spree
Lucked out for lunch, in that the Gordon Food Service store here (wholesale restaurant supplier, open to puubic) was having free sample tasting day when I was there yesterday. All kind ofgoodies from baked ham, pototoes, green bean cassarole, sweet corn bake, rolls, pies, cookies, cheescakes. Course it's just little bite sized samples but still makes a plate full. And then one of the local grocery stores had free samples of a new ice cream they were selling. So much for lunch. .
After I came home, it was off to the park with the girls for a walk. Can't walk a lot cause of deep snow, but did give them a little breather from being on leashes. We were probably out an hour at least. They enjoyed it. And so did I.
The temps have moderated into mid 20's here. Comfortable to be outside as very little wind. Just some light LES showers once in awhile. But later on today I will run the shovel over the deck and my neighbors walk and porch. A little dusting one day and some the next does begin to add up eventually down the line. Maybe a quarter inch.
Today I plan to spackle some nail holes in the kitchen wall. Moved a picture and want to cover up the holes. Have a couple of spots that need a touch up that I found the other day. While I have the spackle out, I am going to do the laundry room walls too. Getting ready for the next painting project in there.
I'm also studying this workcamper stuff too. Joined Workamper Dreamers, a new site of Workamper News and have a ton of stuff to read through and videos to watch. Figure a little education can't hurt. It didn't cost any more to do that, then to get a regular subscription to Workamper News. I'm not sure if I really want to do that ,but the interest is there and so are the possiblities. Everybody has to find their own way, and this is mine. Since the tax bill just got passed, that will help by keeping unemployment checks coming, while I have a chance to plot my future course here. I'm also wondering though, if the decrease in SS tax will do anything to my future SS in that I would be earning more, therefore getting more or not. Will see what happens down the line here.
Well, it's time to get this day rolling. Have a good one
