Rare morning posting because I got things done

I keep my to-do list in my mind. Sometimes I augment that with a note on Keep or add an event to my calendar. And sometimes it's a visual cue. This morning it was all of the above.

Visual cue: two boxes in the front room on the side table by the aquarium viewing recliner: one from the laundry rack, with a lot of stray plastic, the other from the Amazon delivery of aquarium pump and assorted filter packs. Took those to the livingroom, broke them down, poured random pieces into the recycle holding container. Took both the container and the boxes out back and stuffed them into the almost full bin out back.

Next visual cue was the two trash bags on the washer. Put those one the walker, walked them out to the back landing. Put them on top of the closed recycle bin, which is next to the trash bin.  ( TMI )

 Used the railing to walk down the 4 steps to the carport, and the el cheapo walker to get to the trash bin, open it, and roll the trash bags into the bin, then close it.

Next visual was the car charger (Car was at 80%). Unhooked the charger, walked the cable to the car,  used the remote to pop open the charging door, plugged in the car. It won't take long to charge to 100%. Later need to go outside again, unplug the car and return the cable to the charging station.

Calendar reminder to buy Year of the Tiger stamps from USPS. Logged into my account, bought a sheet of those, plus Yogi Berra, Star Wars droids and the latest Love stamp. Passed up Ursula K. Le Guin because it was an expensive express mail stamp, and ditto the Palace of Fine Arts stamps.

Watched another episode of Divorce Court. Once again it's an unmarried couple with an insanely controlling, jealous woman with the man asking to be freed from this toxic relationship. They rarely get married couples anymore. And People's Court was yet another case of girlfriends moving in together, ending up hating each other, and one kicks the other out and sues for back rent.

Looking forward to Graham Norton.

The rest of the story

After getting disgusted with the sole referee at the Olympics consistently penalizing the skater who was pushed instead of the Chinese skater who pushed him/her, and wading through way too much back story on the athletes, especially the Americans, I nuked all my Tivo One Passes. Also bored with endless luge & skeleton coverage. The snowboard races were amusing, except for the commentators who never STFU. There were glimpses of gorgeous scenery, but they never found time to show it at length.

Sat out on the porch as the sun was going down, the solar panel continues to charge the ring cam.

Been walking more. Hook the catheter bag to my waistband, so I'm not tied to the walker. I still use the seat of the walker as a tray, to carry food & drink around. Ran out of CO2 on my 2nd to last SodaStream cartridge. Need to mail back the two which have been sitting on the dryer for a month. It will have to wait till I can drive to the PO. Meanwhile I charged three bottles and have soda water. I'm mostly drinking Gatorade Zero, but soda water is a nice change. I also have bottles color coded for diet ginger ale and diet cola, but will wait on those till I run out of Gatorade and diet 7-up. It will be a while.

Took some photos of Jade and posted re-homing requests on Facebook, https://rehome.adoptapet.com, and https://rehomeyourpets.com/posting-a-pet/. The other sites suggested in the Animal Foundation's doc - Wageroo is only for dogs and petbond.com is local to Seattle.

Somehow the best face photo I took of Jade is not on my phone. Hmmm.

Been watching courtroom shows, and The Incredible Doctor Pol, a vet somewhere in big animal country. His staff keeps growing. Graham Norton was pretty good this week, Courteney Cox, Taron Egerton, Minnie Driver, Uma Thurman (remote)  and Ariana DeBose.

Ordered delivery from Albertson's in time for the Superbowl tomorrow. Some of it food for the game, some restocking of my latest staples (berries, shrimp, etc.).

Note to self: Starbucks Frappuccinos do not refrigerate well. Maybe I need to freeze them. Maybe I should wait till I can use the drive-thru.

Found my Kardia mini EKG, it says I am not currently experiencing afib. Yay.

Put some clarifier in the aquarium and it clouded the water. Boo, hiss.

Sat with Jade a couple of times today, it stops her crying for the time I'm with her. She seems to have a problem with her butt. I want to get her to the vet, but don't know how. Catching her is the first challenge.

The car is charged and the charging cable is back on the charger. The car is very dirty.

Tomorrow:
Probably sleep in
Put away the groceries
There may be flag football before the Big Game.
The game is set to start recording at 3:30, I'll wait an hour to  start watching it. I'll skip the 30 seconds between the end of a play and the start of the next one, but will probably watch the commercials. So far, though, I have not been impressed with the teasers I have seen.
