Beautifying Without and Within

Hmm. Katie Ledecky supposedly wrote an autobiography, which I’d like to read, but I don’t see it on Amazon. Apparently she wrote it a while ago, and I found it on Thrift Books. I also got Simone Biles’ autobiography for the Kindle.

Do I want to decorate the house for Halloween this year? The Lakeside Collection has some interesting decorations.

It’s a nice, peaceful morning. Fed the girls and had breakfast. Now it’s time for my nap. Zara is rubbing against the decluttering library books that I checked out. I liked them, so I ordered used copies of them.

Overslept my nap. I shut off my alarm and closed my eyes “just for a few minutes,” and woke up an hour and a half later. Oh well. I won’t have time to walk on the treadmill now, but I’ll set up the Chillwell for later.

I registered for the “Walker’s Book Club”. Yoga for the fall isn’t up yet.

The toolbox is now coming by Tuesday. I guess that I’ll clean the rest of the kitchen and get the counter space under the tools on Tuesday.

Ow. Zara jumped on my lap, lost her balance, and dug her claws in my leg.

Showered. Ordered my Ester Lauder face wash and moisturizers.

I’m trying to decide whether to grow clematis on the front fence. I might replace the fence eventually. Hmm, it just occurred to me that the season for getting big discounts on patio furniture is coming soon. I’ll have to keep an eye out for bargains. I found a set that I like and isn’t too expensive, but it would arrive while I’m in Michigan. I’ll have to order it when I’m up there. I looked on eBay for patio sets and found one cheaper.

I just bought a cordless electric tiller. There’s a small corner patch of grass between the sidewalks in which I want to plant tulips. I also want to expand the flower beds and plant peonies. And I want to put in a vegetable garden next year. I'm also going to seed the ugly lawn this fall.

I opened up the cut from yesterday while I was mowing and it’s gushing blood. Sigh. I guess that’s the end of my mowing for today. I might be able to mow some tomorrow after the car is done. I also got blood on my jeans so I ordered some stain remover for blood.

The charging station in the basement for the mower batteries is working.

I’m getting a little dizzy. I’m drinking some water.

I bought a prescription cream to help with brown spots on my face. I have sun damage. Another step in the “make Adrienne beautiful” project. Oh, and I also got some posture exercises. And I got a toenail fungus kit.

Napped for about 20 minutes. I’m feeling dehydrated, so I’m swilling the carbonated water that I like. Heck, it's gotten late, so I should study Italian.

Studied Italian. Now I'll wend my way towards bed.
