I was busy yesterday. Fairly early on I went out for a walk across the fields and was able to go quite a way without problem as the weather was good and the fields, by and large, have now dried out. I have not walked such a distance for some time so I was tired when I got home. After luch I did a bit of cleaning then made good progress on the reorginasation of mmy watercolour paints. I seem to have accumlated lots of different colours and needed to organise them in palettes such that I can readily find / compare them. It too a lot of work cleaning and labelling etc. During the afternoon I also tended / watered my plants, made up some more nutrient solutions (including making up stock solutions) and mowed the lawn.
I needed a LOT. I ended up going to three separate shops. This saved me some money.
I also had a MacDonald's for lunch with my dad. I spent time with the cats at my dad's house and ate there, too. We had tuna bake for dinner: it was delicious.
I checked over the car this morning. It's not something I do every week now that I don't use it as much so I pushed myself while I had time. After checking over my plants I reverted to my usual Saturday routine of pampering an afternoon relaxing. I do notice the washing basket is full though so probably into action this evening

I ate for lunch with my sister today. We also wandered around various shops. I helped my sister cook dinner and was driven home by my dad later. I played a Sade album - "Diamond Life" from 1984 - and am browsing online.

I've had my daily shower and have put on a load of laundry. I am also airing out my apartment and keep on top of the washing up. I have the windows open, too.
Yesterday I did the weekly grocery shop then relaxed a bit for the rest of the day. I felt strange and under the weather. Today I am somewhat better but will relax a bit.

I've given my apartment a thorough clean. This includes my bathroom and kitchen. Mopping the floors and wiping down surfaces free of dust. I also took out the recycling and have the windows open.

I still have the sniffles a bit, getting over a cold. It was pretty bad one day last week and that was also when the youngest was sick. I thought a stomach bug was here for all of us because his day started out bad and I was so low on energy. Because of that, I rescheduled a trip out of town that we were meant to start today. (I made the new arrangements with some relief to be around home for my birthday, actually. I'm not usually the type to want to be on the go everywhere!) The youngest bounced back quickly and just has the sniffles too, so we appear to be "good to go" for enjoying the beginning of summer break!
Today has been about cleaning up so there's little to do tomorrow and we can just relax. So far, I baked, cleaned the kitchen, got in a neighbourhood walk, and have directed kids through the laundry process. I also did my budget tracking, so I feel on top of things.
Next up, besides indulging in sweets a day early, is getting birthday cards ready for a friend in town and a nephew who lives farther away. One of us can walk the cards to the mailbox later, or in the morning.
I didn't do a great deal yesterday although did get one of my paintings framed. It was a watercolour on paper so I put it into a photo frame. Today I have far more to do and my brother is probably coming over later so it will be somewhat busier today but I do feel more up to it today.
