After myloting today I got busy cleaning house and doing laundry. I got all the laundry done and put away.
I worked a little on Sunshine` homestead creations stuff, I know I do not talk much about the store but its still kickin! Besides the online portion I`m working on content for the physical store as well, no sense getting a store and it be empty!
I got Tony in the truck and off to town, I stopped and got his medication at the old stomping grounds, everyone was asking how Tony is doing. I stopped at home depot for the posts for the gate, they are so heavy! But I used the cart to slide them into and the back of the truck to slide them into it.
Back at home I worked online to get coupons for new weekly sale, that was not going well and just got the digital ones loaded.
I went out with plans to walk, dig post holes and make the sign, and I seen them. Figs. Figs needed to be picked. Big sigh.
I walked 7 laps = 28 city blocks, running on one. I went and picked the figs.
Finally right before dark I cut the board with the power saw, nailed the two pieces and tacked the pre-made, by me, sign. Then I walked half way out tthe driveway and pounded it into the ground.
I put the dogs back up and gathered my saw and extension cord, went inside just at dark.
Inside I cleaned the figs, from the ripe and set the ones needing another day on the table.
Tony just wanted a sandwich for dinner so I made that.
Now how was my calories?
Breakfast - smart one meal = 330
Snack - banana - 85
Lunch - Ham and tomato sandwich = 276
Snack - Ice cream = 200
Dinner - smart one meal and salad = 310
Total is ..... drum roll .... 1200 calories
That was not planned eating I just winged it today.
How was your day?

You did a lot today, you made me tired, just reading all that.
My day busy, but not quite like yours, cleaned out a spare closet, and tried to reorganize everything in it. Took care of the stray cats in the yard , fed them, changed all water bowls, and the two bowls on front porch. I did walk my dog a short bit. Had ice cream, and tacos for dinner.

In my calorie counting book a small banana is 85 calories, mine goes by the size and if its a large one then the calories goes up.

3 hours driving (what a waste) downtown DC, then back.
But, I did manage to finish up two critical projects at home! Oh yeah, and stayed out of the way of the wedding wrecking crew.
