Stressful day

Well, there is no new haircut to discuss. I got a call that my hairdresser had to cancel for tonight. Hopefully I will still be able to get it done this week. We'll see.

Tomorrow I am going for a stress test at my Cardiologist office. Apparently he was a little concerned at my appt last week that I have been unable to exercise without getting short of breath and having some chest discomfort. The last one I had 3 yrs ago was a challenge in itself. I'm sure tomorrow will prove to be the same. Some of the challenges are the fact that I do not own a pair of regular tennis shoes. All of my shoes are slip on with no backs, so trying to run while holding your shoes on your feet tends to present some issues. The other part that is a bit uncomfortable is the paper vest they give you to wear over all those leads.. Might as well be naked. So I'll have that to talk about tomorrow.

The rest of my night consisted of helping Tinkerbell with her school project. She called me on my way home from work to tell me it was not a choice of doing it and it had to be done and turned in tomorrow. So after dinner, she had to read a book, create a project on poster board and write a summary about the book. She did get it all done with some help from Mickey and me. And in case you are wondering the crock pot chicken turned out okay. It was kinda like a pot pie with out the crust.

Sorry I don't have too much today, but I am tired and need to rest before my stress test at 8am.

Getting started

My plans are to track my thoughts and activities daily. While I find my life to be boring mostly, there are some shining moments. By writing them all down, I'm hoping to create some great memories to share. My family consists of me, Minnie, my husband Mickey, my oldest daughter Cinderella, and my youngest daughter, TinkerBell. We also have many pets, we will call them Bruno, Lucifer, Pluto, Marie, and Duchess.

Today has been like any other ordinary Sunday, besides this new endeavor. I have been home alone cleaning and doing laundry. I also did a little grocery shopping too. I plan on making some chicken in the crock-pot tomorrow. I've never done this while not home before, so we will see how it goes. Because you see, around here Mickey does most of the cooking. He gets home from work an hour or more before me so he has humbly taken over this duty. While I enjoy having dinner ready when I get home, the mess he creates while cooking is overwhelming sometimes. While he cooks, he doesn't do dishes, so I get the clean-up after dinner is done.

I still have laundry to fold yet today. I have the 3rd load in the wash now, 3 more loads to go. When I say "fold" laundry, I really mean put on hangers. When we remodeled the house, we all got walk in closets. When I say all, I mean we each got our own, including Mickey and me. So you would think doing laundry would be easy, right? Well, it is much easier now. I would get so frustrated when I would spend so much time folding laundry and putting it away neatly in every one's drawers/shelves only to find it the next day a mixed up heap of clothes. So I really shouldn't complain now, but laundry is still laundry. Also when we remodeled, Mickey wanted to move the washer and dryer up to the top floor, I didn't want too. I told him I didn't have a problem carrying the clothes to the basement, and besides I didn't want to have to listen to them while they were running at night either. But I have to admit, it would have been nice (don't tell Mickey I said that). But not for the reason you are thinking, but because of Lucifer, Duchess, and Marie. They live in the basement most of the time and their litter box is in the laundry room. If anyone knows of a great litter box that doesn't smell and works wonderfully, please let me know.

Well back to cleaning. I hope to post more tomorrow. And hopefully I will have a new haircut to discuss.
