A Day in my Life

Happy October!  Hope the month started well for all of you.  Here's how I spent my day.

Tuesday was my day off.  One of the things I enjoy on a day off is sleeping a little later and being able to have a slow start.  That didn't happen on this day.  On Monday my car wouldn't start when I was ready to leave work.  I had to call Bob to pick me up and have the car towed away.  So, Tuesday morning I had to get up and bring Bob to work at 7 am so I could use his car during the day.

When I got home I had my quiet time, then watched Pioneer Woman which I had DVR'd earlier.

Then it was time to get some things done.

The laundry needed to be done.

 I mixed up some refrigerator oatmeal - my go to breakfast when it's not winter.  It doesn't look great here, but after a night in the frig and with some fruit it looks good and makes a quick and yummy breakfast.

I boiled some eggs. I like to have some in the refrigerator to put in lunches or for breakfast.

 Ground beef was on sale so I bought 6 pounds of it and browned it.  I like to brown it in my large saucepan.  I did 3# at a time.  Once it's browned, I drain the grease and rinse it in a colander.

Then it goes into zip-lock bags.  I usually do 1# to a bag and toss it into the freezer. It makes it so easy to throw together sloppy joes, chili...

I did dishes, cleaned the kitchen and the sink.  Don't you feel better when everything is cleaned and the sink is shiny?  :)

 Bob spent the day yesterday putting in this new entry door from our garage.  He needs to finish the trim yet, but yesterdays work meant the whole area was dusty and dirty so I did some cleaning here along with vacuuming the living room.

 The bathrooms needed cleaning too.  I took a picture of this cleaner because it's something we recently started using which makes cleaning easier.  You just spray down the shower or tub when you are done and it keeps it clean.  We have hard water and before using this we would get deposits on the tile.  I haven't had to scrub it nearly as often.

It was cloudy and warm all day, didn't feel like it should be October.  Here's how it looked in the afternoon when I left the house.

I had an appointment in the afternoon to have my hair cut and colored.  I forgot to take a picture while I was inside, so here's one from the parking lot.  :)    My hair was overdue for some work and it felt good to have it done!

 When I left, it was sprinkling.  I had to go pick Bob up from work.

 While I was waiting for him, it got darker and started to really rain.  I also got a call from the station where my car was, telling me that it had started without issue and had no problems all day, so as of that time they couldn't figure out what caused the problem. So frustrating!  It's spending the night and they will try again tomorrow.

And when we got home, it was pouring!

 After supper the sun came out!

Bob was doing some work clearing the rain gutters and the front walk.

Then we had a relaxing evening, a candle burning and watching The Voice!


It was another good day!
