Time to let us all know how your day was...
Rainy, feeling fallish, and a good day for movies, books and comfort foods, or is summer still hanging around your neighborhood?
Anybody cooking today?

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Here in central Georgia, it was still summertime.

After my afternoon post I sat and finished my book and then down to the basement to clean out the small room that houses our gas and water meter and a whole lot of "stuff". One word to describe it-disgusting. As with a lot of LI houses there is a lot of moisture in the basement. The concrete has this stuff flaking off and with all the temperature changes and humdity in the summer I pulled out cardboard boxes that were full of this nasty stuff and beginning signs of mold. Those boxes went immediately into black trash bags and out the back door. The hamster cage went, an old lighting fixture from the bathroom we redid-not sure why that was in there-but then again I don't have a lot of explanations for any of what's laying around here. An old fish tank with the gravel still in it-out of there. My original luggage-the outside full of some funky looking white stuff, out in the yard for Wednesday pick up. There were a few salvagable Fisher Price toys that I cleaned up and I'll give those to my coworker. I started trying to move things around and finally unearthed the treadmill. Not looking too good either. I have to ask DS if he thinks it's time to get rid of it. It's not calibrated right anymore and the deck is just looking really shabby. I bought it used and it really doesn't owe me a dime. I'm going to feel really bad if I decide to get rid of it since I know I don't have the $ to replace it. I'll wait to talk to DS and get his opinion. I guess first I just better see if it still runs. There are still a ton of boxes that DD needs to go through and bins that I'm afraid to open and looks like I didn't accomplish a thing. Just better organized piles. But several more boxes and stuff to throw out and a few more things for my coworker's fundraising sale. I was frustrated, filthy and tired by the time I was done. Several loads of laundry done but still sitting in laundry baskets waiting for homes.
By 4:45 I still had no clue what to cook so I ended up making a Lumberman's Hash which is made with frozen shredded potatoes and some leftover ham I had in the refrigerator.
It was raining lightly after dinner but Otto and I headed out for a walk. Not very pleasant walking conditions but we both needed it!
Definitely time for a shower after the walk and I've been hanging out planning menus for next week and watching some HGTV.
Hope you've all had a great day.
