Stopped for lunch...and that was quite some time ago! I'll never get that room done at this rate. So, back at it til dinner..aka 6p news. If news is on...if not, Back to the 'new addition'.
I have now gone thru 2 boxes, and a plastic crate of files...and those 3 have become one! So, time to empty the bin on the shredder, and empty the recycle bin cus they're gonna be over flowing if i don't.
I appears to have been a beautiful day here. I'm sorry to say I wasn't out to enjoy it. I know it was sunny...maybe breezy at times? Tomorrow, Monday and Tues are going to be rainy so they say. Combined total rainfall for the 3 days is forecasted to be 2-4 inches. That will be great for the lawns, flowers, trees, etc. So its welcomed rain.
Catch you tomorrow...
It constantly amazes me how quickly I can fill the bin on the shredder and the one I am using is a large one too. The newest one is a beast with how many sheets it can shred at a time and how long it can run without stopping for an overheat. It also chews through DVD or CD disks easily whereas the older one that does still work struggled with them. I do need to shred them as I do use them to hold backups off of the computer. My one complaint with it is that the feed slot is to close to one side so I do occasionally have to vacuum it out.
FWIW I use Shredder bags that I can just pull out and use the twist ties that came with them to close them to go to the curb for the recycle pickup. I Do Paper separately from the Disks so I can discard the shredded disks and recycle the shredded paper.
The news has been so full of redundancy that I DVR it and then I can skip through the Bumf
Stay Dry

Didn't do much today, though it appeared to have been a lovely day out. I was feeling kind of dragged out and the cats have been getting me up too early, so I went back to bed early after lunch and just got up a few minutes ago.
Finished off the pizza and cheese bread from Murray's, so may just make cheese dip and tortilla chips for a finisher after I wake up a bit more. No videos today.
Hi Ed
I was feeling OK Saturday until after the yard work was done. Some of which was shifting things around in the shed to create a place for the wood from the boxes that were placed around the Fig Trees last fall.
Cheese Bread, I'm curious is the Cheese baked into the bread or is it more like an Italian Loaf sliced lengthwise, buttered and cheese spread on top before heating it ?
I think I shall have my brother pick up a jar of pizza sauce to go with the Shredded Mozzarella in the Refrigerator and the English Muffins I froze while I decided what to do with them.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday. 53 with an expected high of 69 and 90% chance of precipitation.
Could stand to get out to the store but that is probably not happening.
I've been up for a while, had breakfast, fed the cats and dabbled on the internet. I think I'm already about ready for a nap. I have to do something about these early morning cat calls...

No nap yet, but I did get the garbage and recycles to the curb. LOTS of cardboard as we had a couple of stacks of boxes that had built up. Not so much any more. One whole bin is nothing but cardboard and there is more wedged between the bins. Normally J has so many Mt. Dew cans in there that we can only put a little bit of cardboard. Between all the junk he's been ordering lately and my occasional BIG wine boxes, we were getting way behind. But I feel pretty well caught up on that now. J is back in KY visiting family.

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The temperature this morning was 39 degrees. Yesterday was a busy day doing the yard. The walking was not to bad today as there was no wind. The Sky is a cloudless sky and the day should warm up nicely.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »OK, thats it!!...I"m going to Ed's house. Mind you we live in the same county...and my expected High, is 62 degrees....and his is 69??? Thats a gain of 7 degrees from here to there! LOL!!
Its my turn to day I could probably stand a trip to the grocery...and it may, or may not actually happen. I will not starve here, that is for sure. But, I'd 'like' to have a couple ears of corn, some kind of salad greens, (as of last night I discarded my two containers of organic salad greens. Not willing to take the chance of getting e coli.) and if I don't find suitable greens, I may invest in a bagged cole slaw, and make my own dressing. Kinda hard to eat a large green salad before each meal if you don't have green leafies!
It is currently raining outside. Comes and goes..and will continue for all 3 upcoming days. Not the kind of weather that encourages me to go outside. Though a nap does sound good. I may just do that.
Later...
FWIW the Local cable News Channel was showing 47 degrees vs the 39 degrees on the front porch. That temperature is from a nearby location.
I'm guessing that the Salad Greens had Romaine Lettuce in them ?
I Guess I'm lucky that I have no problem eating Iceberg Lettuce with or without Salad Dressing or other Vegetables in the salad.
I thought I saw a prediction that the Atalanta area would get 3 inches of rain for Monday.
After doing the yard work Sunday I was tired and tried for a nap, unfortunately I had a crop failure in the nap field.
I have never had much luck with most crossword puzzles, likely some mental quirk ?GardenKatGardens wrote: »Napper here too Ed! It was just a perfect day for a nice nap!!!

I have a lot of cardboard to cut up so they fit into the large cardboard box I plan to stack them in. My brother was at the hardware store looking to get a key copied and picked up Utility Knife blades that are serrated and I suspect they will make short work of even the thickest cardboard.
I plan to look at the Nutrislicer which has been advertised heavily lately and Cast Iron Videos in a little while, Thanks.
Have a Good Day.

Howdy y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 58 with an expected high of 67 and 90%...er make that 100% chance of precipitation at my house, with a good possibility of thundershowers.
Never did get a nap yesterday, but did get to bed a bit earlier than usual of late.
Not much of anything on the agenda today and I think that it's a good day for that. Maybe I'll get a nap today. Of course they're calling for the likely thunderstorms about the same time as I would normally nap, this afternoon. Maybe a morning nap?

I think the 3 inches of rain may be the total for our 3 day rain.? They said 3 to 4 inches...on the other hand...my Weather Channel app is showing rain from now thru 3 a.m. on Tuesday..( or about another 15 or more hours of rain....I already have my 3 inches in the rain gauge...hmmm.
Ed, the counter top veg slicer/grater/shredder was interesting. I have a metal one that I bought some time ago...its great on carrots, walnuts, etc. Not made for almonds! Got myself in a real pickle trying to grate those almonds!
Dishwasher emptied, load of 'light' laundry needs to be moved to the dryer, 2 bags of kitchen and bathroom trash to take out to 'herbie curbie', I did take out the recycles. Actually everywhere I look I see some usually small thing that needs to attended to...Never ends does it?
Tom E came in, ate, begged for treats, and then quite willingly wanted outside. That surprised me. Considering the rain!
Tomorrow after my Chiro appt I will be heading to Whole Foods, hope to find green stuff! I think 'head lettuce' is something you like....or not. I'm in the not camp. For decades I thought I hated salad...nope, just Iceberg lettuce!!LOL. Also of course I'll be looking for fried tofu.
Need to also check the calendar, for when I need to present myself to donate tubes of blood. I know its soon that I do that.
I've looked under my car for various reasons, but never thought to look for penguins!
Later...
Hi Valerie and Ed
The sign warning about looking under the car for Penguins was interesting, what I did not see was what to do if there are any under there

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 59 out there now with an expected high of 69 and 20% chance of precipitation. Maybe I'll actually get out to the store today. We'll see.
Sink is cleared and I've eaten. Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats. Then maybe shower and think about getting out to the store once rush hour is past.

Hi
I'm back from walking and 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 54 degrees. Yesterday was a semi busy day spreading fertilizer on the lawn. The walking was OK today as there was a bit of a breeze to help keep me comfortable. The forecast rain arrived overnight into Wednesday, It is lighter than forecast OTOH, It is a steady rain.

Yesterday's chore(s) got done, Fertilizer spread on the lawn, It had to be spread by hand as the sealed bag managed to to pick up moisture and clumped up and would not go through the spreader
My optional chore, Laundry is done and folded, Whee
Today's temperatures are forecast to be in the 60s and wet. Next week they are forecasting highs in the 70s. I ended up running the AC yesterday as the Living Room got uncomfortably warm.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi. Quite a day...all good Got 'reassembled' at my chiro appointment, drove to Whole Foods, and the lot was not much more than half full???? Odd. Walked towards the doors to Whole Foods only to be told that Whole Foods was closed???? WHA???? Atlanta, the city of Trees...and rain soaked ground and big gusts of wind. Tree down, took down power lines on Ponce. Pretty quickly they were saying only another 10 minutes or so, they had to 'bring up the cash registers' It was a little more than 10 minutes, but soon enough we could go in and shop. They had my chicken Fried Tofu, and I got a box of greens, and soon enough on my way home. Didn't have time for a nap before Jack's driving home call...and now I'm sitting here yawning my face off!
So its off to sleep soon as I feed Tom E. I think I'm having birthday dinner with Jack and family tomorrow evening. Tomorrow is Jack's birthday, and for a change he will be in town for his day.
Tom's eating, I think I"ll get into my pj's, and call it a night.
Later...
Reassembled, I did not know You had fallen apart.
Whole Foods, I'm guessing that the Chicken Fried Tofu was in the hot section ? Was it still hot ?
I was in Whole Foods the other Day and Picked up a pound of the 365 salted butter. Decent price and the butter was really good. OTOH I did buy some hot foods that I should not have bought.
Their Pizza slices were what I consider pricey, and not all that good to boot
Enjoy the Birthday Dinner with Jack.

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 56 with an expected high of 70 and 0% chance of precipitation. Sounds like my kind of day!
I've been up for some time now, since Lilo started trying to get me up at about 5:30 this morning. I resisted until about 6:30 but finally gave up. Distracted by breakfast, internet, and working on a little re-seasoning for the 10.25 inch skillet I use the most. It's not quite up to slick enough for scrambled eggs yet, but it's getting there. I probably should have sanded down the cooking surface when I first bought it to make it even smoother but then I'd have had to worry about making sure I cleaned out every bit of the iron filings, then re-season from entirely from scratch on the cooking surface. I must say that I was impressed with the job that Emmy did on hers in that video, but I don't have one of those scraper thingies anyway. I'm sure I'll eventually get it as glossy as I like, through use and occasional refreshing of the seasoning.
I believe I'll actually get out to the store today. Maybe just Aldi, but it's a store!
