During the last war America sent us food parcels my dad was at the war and my mum was a welder on the docks as were the rest of her family; a food parcel was sent from the U.S.and tea bags were in it no one here in the uk had seen them before so they spent a whole evening cuttin up the bags and emptying them into a tea caddy- (I would send you decaff coffee) but @sarahroo probably wouldnt get to you!

Working my ass off

I slept and I slept and then I slept some more.

Changed out all the cat litter boxes (2) and put fresh stuff in them. Lugged all the bags of the icky stuff down the stairs and outside to the dumpster. Rested from that. vacuumed the floors upstairs and had my shower, and now I'm sitting under the hair dryer (I have super thick hair that takes forever to dry.) perusing the discussion topics on this site. Like you do.

I do washing in my scheme for other residents so did that today - they pay me whatever they feel like, and i just got to my next £100.00 for the charity I support - I did a bit of cleaning up for myself - not much - made lunch for my partner and then went out up the town for a coffee with a friend Ballycastle is a small town but has very many coffee bars cafes pubs ice cream parlours etc. I am only about four minutes walk for the sea -It was awfully windy here today though .earlier in the month when we had the hurricane all the sand on the beach ended up in the bowling green and the old walled harbour which is now a tennis court
It was nice to see its all been returned to its former glory.Met quite a few other residents Ballycastle is small - if you ever look it up on google maps there are two Ballycastles we are facing Rathlin Island - Its pretty beautiful here but can get quite windy.\

Picked up meds for my mom. Changed the beds, did the laundry and listening to Podcasts, Science Salon, Planetary Radio.

I am not an early riser like yourself. I slept in this morning, and got up at 8 am. So far today, I have checked in here, and talked with a couple of friends. I went through all of my movies and purged the ones we haven't watched in forever. The children's movies are going to one of my client's so I made arrangements with my aid to get those to her. I went through my many bookshelves and purged what I no longer want, and then went through all of the catalogs and magazines we have collected, and got them ready for recycling. I talked with my husband, and we made brunch together. My youngest son ate with us and then we talked with him for a while before he went to work. My husband and I are now watching television. I am going to go and clean the kitchen up when this show is over, and then I will be heading to the store for groceries and other essentials. I'm not sure what we will do after that.

Hmm. I woke at approximately the same time. I fought with the pillows for a while, then got up and headed for the computer. Dosed with caffeine and showered and dressed, I went out to face the day at a Democratic committee meeting to try to figure out how to win this next election.
