My Tireless Retirement - Week 241

 

Can I just tell you how amazing and wonderful I think you all are?  I spent the better part of last Saturday morning reading and replying to the comments you left on my Thursday post and the overwhelming kindness touched me in ways I’m sure my replies couldn’t possibly have conveyed.  At one point I was in tears.  Good tears.  I went through a few tissues, but I’m so grateful to each and every one of you.  Thank you for taking your time to read my blog, leave your comments and share your own experiences with me.  I was also impressed with all the thoughtful comments left on another post regarding my pantry.  So many great ideas!

 


Friday was cloudy and we got some rain that evening, but the weekend was warm and sunny. I made a really good dinner on Friday and I’ll be sharing the recipe here soon.  Creamy Parmesan Chicken, oh my goodness!  It was delicious!  Over the weekend I got my laundry done, changed the sheets on my bed, cleaned the kitchen and dusted the living room.  Monday I raked more leaves, the trees are really cutting loose now.  I also cleaned the bathroom and mopped the floor.

 


Tuesday I checked the new weekly store ads for good deals and made a list.  Wednesday morning while I sipped my coffee I went through, selected and downloaded digital grocery coupons.  I also vacuumed and mopped the bare floors.  As I’ve settled in here I find myself beginning to start settling into new routines and if feels good.  I love the quiet normalcy of it all.

 


Thursday is becoming my day to kick back and relax.  It was never planned, it has simply just become a part of my routine and I do it with pleasure.  I can catch up on paperwork, update my spreadsheets, do some short term planning, meal plan and do some research on anything I might be interested in at the moment, all while I watch TV.  I love my crime shows.  Recently I started to watch Cold Case again.  It has been long enough that I have forgotten most of the episodes.  This will be my third time through.  Have any of you watched Cold Case?

 

I got Jack a new toy.  Initially he wasn't very impressed. 😹

"I'm not that easy."

What have you been up to?  Is getting cold where you live?  We are enjoying warm, sunny days and cooler nights now.  It is crazy to go out and rake leaves in a t-shirt and flip flops, but I rather enjoy it.
