Monday Morning and I am Motivated

It seems of late that I have been more procrastinating then actually doing the things that I need to do and that I keep telling myself I am going to do. I get waylaid more easily. I have so many things I want to do for my business and yet it seems I go off on a tangent, I walk into a room and find 100 things to do that are not what I went in there to do. I know old people joke about this all the time but it's true.

Mark took off work last Wednesday and Thursday for our wedding anniversary on Wednesday. 37 years and we are probably just as amazed as everybody else that we haven't killed each other yet. On Wednesday we had lunch at Clayton's Deli and grabbed our pre-ordered pound cake from The Pound Cake Man. Then we kind of had a lazy rest of the day, we played with Rover outside as he was still here at that point (we had to take him home to his mummy on Friday), we caught the Australian Masterchef on the telly, and decided we like that as much as the American one if not more and that we really don't like the Canadian one very much.

We did have to take Precious to the vet as he was dehydrated and unfortunately it seems like his 19 years are finally catching hold. He had some fluids while he was there and I now have a bag have fluids so that when he needs them at home I can do them sub Q for him.

Over the next few days we caught up on a lot of things. Hubby replaced the pump in his window washer on the truck as somehow it had died. After I got my car back on Friday, he changed the oil for me, so that when I give it back to my granddaughter on Sunday, it is good to go. It does need a tune up but that's gonna have to wait for a few weeks as Mark has looked at it and unfortunately it looks like a bigger job to get to two of the spark plugs, than what he can do easily in the driveway so it looks like we're going to need a mechanic to do it for us.

He moved the chicken's day pen back where we had originally had it. We have left the grass to grow so it is a good 6 to 8 inches high and gives them plenty of greenery to scratch about in. They were quite happy to have it in another new place. I didn't move them today as the hawk was out and sometimes they don't go exactly where I want them to go, and I don't need to be chasing them around trying to catch them with the hawk hovering overhead looking for lunch.

I've just finished reading a book, Looking for Peyton Place, and it made me look on YouTube to see the original TV programs that I watched as a child without fully understanding what it was all about. I've now ordered the original book from the library. I still love to read, and when I am pedaling on my elliptical cycle it whiles away the time real quickly. I just escape into the story, into another world.

I made a sun dried tomato and basil cheese bread and it came out pretty good. Next time though, I will omit the parmesan as it came out too Italian for my liking.  I also batch cooked a brilliant beef curry. You all know how much I LOVE my curry. I did spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen but it was all good.

This afternoon I'm hoping to catch up more on my AVON. i have some blogs to write for that.

I hope you all have a productive day.
