A couple days of accomplishment!

Tuesday started out as a Happy Homemaker Day as I just piddled around the house getting little things around here done. I even did the few dishes that were sitting there, using the largest pan as my sink instead of running a whole sinkful of dishwater.
A little after 5, Ron texted that he was up in Hillsboro and was going to be late, so I let him know that I would be leaving at 6 to go uptown, and would not be walking.

I did leave right on time at 6:00, so I could go do my civic duty and vote in the primary before going to the library to do my weigh-in for TOPS this week - no meeting because of voting (they take our building). I was very pleased to find out that I have lost FOUR (4) pounds since my last weigh-in two weeks ago!! Four!! <happy, happy dance>
After that, I went to Gold Star and got supper for me and Ron - I knew he was too tired to cook - and went on home.
NCIS, NCIS:NO, and dead guys rounded out the night.

Wednesday was pretty much a Happy Homemaker Day, but there were no dirty dishes. I did, however, change my bathroom over to its Spring/Summer 'outfiit' (shower curtain, rug, towels, soap dispenser) with an ivy theme - okay, the shower curtain is just green - so don't be surprised surprised if it gets cold and/or snows again.
I did jump the gun by a couple of days - I usually do this between St.Patrick's Day and the first day of Spring - but I was restless, and this filled in almost an hour. I sure don't move the way I used to!
After I got this project done, I did a load of laundry - towels and flat things (rugs, shower curtain) - so my Happy Homemaker Day wasn't totally wasted.
I also cooked our supper in the Dutch oven skillet, since I thought of it too late to put in the crockpot. When Ron texted me about quarter til 6, I was ready and walked out to meet him.

We KNEW he'd be late tonight because we had to be somewhere at 7, and that's what happened. He got home about five after 6. Since I had supper done, though, he got his shower while I dished it up. We both ate quickly and we got on the road a little after 6:30 - and we made it to church (in New Richmond) on time! Ron even managed to stay awake during the Penance Service, too, and I was proud of him for that.
We got back home and he didn't last long after that, let me tell you!! He did wake up while Criminal Minds was on long enough to tell me out was weird. (Isn't it always?)
I did have a popcorn and milk snack tonight - during Criminal Minds - and I do believe I have NO kernels stuck in my teeth. That is an accomplishment right there! The last time I had popcorn, I had a kernel stuck for about a week.....
