Busy, Busy Day

Posted on November 27, 2024 by pauldelancey

Woke up. Fell out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head. Then I left the Beatles’ song to have a much need massage. It went for an hour and my muscles must have been super tight as the masseuse worked hard on me. I almost said, “Stop.” I’ve said that maybe once in my many years of physical therapy. Then I helped my friend got her prescription. I then did about 90 minutes of latch hooking, which is part of my eye therapy. Did about 90 minutes of driving.

Back home I did finances, ground spices, cleaned some in the kitchen. I am now making two pumpkin pies.

Gosh my back hurts.

In case I get too busy tomorrow:

Life Tips – What to do on a Rainy Day

Posted on July 18, 2024 by pauldelancey

1)  Stay inside.

2) Or go outside, if you prefer. I’m not going to be dogmatic or controlling.

3) If you opt for option 2), please use an umbrella or drive with the windows up.

4) Look out the window to see if it’s still raining.

5) If it is, say, “Look, it’s raining.”

6) Wait for people in the room to say, “Yes, sure is.”

7) Binge watch TV.

8) Play Risk(tm).

9) Learn quantum physics. It’s difficult, but it can be done.

10) Take up painting.

11) Take up latch hooking.

12) Contemplate the turning points in Carl La Fong’s life.

13) Conjugate your Portuguese verbs. Don’t let this slide. You’ll never know when you’ll end up in Brazil.

14) Make whopee with your partner.

15) Nap. Catch up on your sleep debt.

16) Look at pictures of kittens and puppies on the internet.

17) Avoid surgery.

18) Stay inside. It’s still raining.

19) Contemplate the infinite while looking at the ceiling.

20) Call Carl La Fong. It’s been such a long time and he’d love to hear from you.

21) Call home. This is especially easy when you’re home.

22) Read a book while taking a bath.

23) Pretend to book a flight to Madagascar.

24) Make a machine that says, “Repeat,” over and over to any automated online menus.

25) Before going to bed, look out the window and say, “If wonder if it’ll rain tomorrow.”

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 5

Posted on February 17, 2024 by pauldelancey

Yesterday was a horrible day as I hurt so much and couldn’t do anything. I am happy to say that I was able to take up latch hooking again today. I am about 42% done and am doing about 1.5 squares a minute. I am up to Charlie Brown’s belly button.

Here’s what it looks life:

What I Did Today

Posted on January 16, 2024 by pauldelancey

 

Metaphor Mel removes financial weeds

Busy, busy day. I’m exhausted.

1) Woke up.

2) Got up. Right away, Go me!

3) Had a glazed doughnut for breakfast.

4) Finances are like flower gardens. They can be beautiful and reassuring. Then if you neglect them, even take your eyes off them for a bit, evil hardy weeds overrun them. So today, I engaged in hours of weed pulling. If that isn’t a metaphor, I don’t know what is.

4) Brokered a cease fire between two peacefully coexisting neighboring nations. It was easier than you might think.

5) Paused and reflected.

6) Went to the bank to turn my CD into a new one paying 4.5%. If left to their own devices banks will roll over your CD into a new one that pays you $3 for every $10,000 you invest with them. How do ever stay in business

7) The woman at the bank got me the CD I wanted with NO hassle AT ALL. She ever told me how to do the next rollover on line.  She is a financial goddess!

8) Wondered if any mollusks have pages on Facebook.

9) Looked up recipes for bread pizzas. What a clever way to use up lots of idle bread slices.

10) Made my first and only proper meal of the day: ham and cheese sandwich.

11) Did Wordle in four tries.

12) Watched an episode about Saturn’s moons, part of a travelog on India, and episode about prehistoric Britain.

13) Worked on this blog.

14) Ready for more adventures. Latch hooking is on the horizon.

3b) Oops! I forgot to say that I got dressed. I most certainly did not go into the world undressed. Goodness!

Behave yourselves.
