Busy High Energy Day

Yesterday was definitely a busy day.   I can honestly say that I have more energy right now than I did before all this started.  (My feet have been dragging for the last couple of years and never really knew why.)  I think I was feeling the pressure of getting everything done yesterday before I physically go back to work on Tuesday. 

Yesterday:

1)  We hung new curtains in the bedroom
2)  We put in a new towel rack in the laundry room
3)  We hung a new wall hanging over the couch in the living room
4)  I ironed all my clothes for work next week (yuck, I have to start dressing up again...)
5)  I ironed the new wall hanging and the new curtains
6)  I made homemade soup for lunch
7)  I made some yummy homemade brownies using the pan like I got Carol for Christmas that separates each brownie into individual pieces so you don't even have to cut them.  We ate one after supper and I sent the rest with Tom to share with his coworkers.  Too many calories to keep them here.  8-)
7)  I washed my car (Tom helped me set up the hoses since the one by the driveway was all frozen...)
8)  We cooked supper

And then we rested the rest of the day...HA.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful brownies and the new wall hanging in the living room.  At Tom's workplace they have some kind of paper that allows people to sell stuff they don't want anymore.  He found this wall hanging for sale for $25.  It is a woven hanging and the colors went very well with the living room.    And yes...that throne sitting between our seats on the couch belongs to Queen Shadow.  She perches there every evening as we watch TV before bedtime.



OH and to continue the saga of the game Tom was trying to download and play...he got it working yesterday and actually got to play for a while.  8-)  The disk he bought at Walmart actually worked once he uninstalled the downloaded version.  Whew...I was SO GLAD it worked for him.

  1. I LOVE that brownie pan!
    Wall hanging looks great...good job, Tom!
    What I really like is the couch! We're looking for a brown, leather, dual recliner couch. Where did you find yours?

  2. Hmmm...we bought it three and a half years ago when we bought the house. It was a local furniture store...I could look up the name of it if you think it would help you.

  3. Hey, Babe...I love the wall hanging, it looks elegant on your wall behind the couch. What used to hang there? I know there was something there. I'm glad you all got so much done, and that Tom is getting to play his game. He deserves that relaxation. Our low temps tonight is 55 degrees. Isn't that great?
    Loven' youn's forever Mom

  4. Don't worry about it. We'll eventually get around to hunting out what is local. :-) You should see Mom's poor neck...she never does anything half-way! :-( She was perking MUCH better yesterday.

  6. Hi Teresa....First I want to thank you for sharing your blog. I have been reading your blog everyday since Tuesday. I've started at the beginning and reading 1 to 2 weeks of entries at a time (to catch up to the latest). Anyway, I was so stunned at the news and felt so bad for you and mad at myself for not keeping more in touch. Your entries have been such an inspiration...the way you explain everything you are going through; your daily life with Tom; how he has been your rock....we love Tom!! Anyway, your entries have made me laugh because I can actually see you (and your "widdle" head) and your expressions. One of the things I have always loved and admired about you is your ability to keep everything real....meaning you sugarcoat nothing. God put people along our path in life for a reason. From day one, you have always been an inspiration to me. Through your stories, your work ethics, your relationship with Tom (and the cat!!), shoot...everything!! I am glad that this blog is helping you get through this. It sure is helping me in more ways than you can imagine. The Lord's spirit works in such mysterious ways!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
