When you're done there, com on over to my house with it.Got the lawn mowed. First time using my new (used) riding mower. These things are actually kind of fun. Not as much as riding my motorcycle, but fun never the less. Not as neat and precise as using my push mower, but a lot less work, and for someone that hates yard work, that's what counts.

sad ?... why so sad Gigi...Takes me less than 10 minutes to mow my hankie-sized lawn. With a riding mower, I'd be done before starting.
DD and I are about to head to the garden center. Gotta get the sand to weight the new patio umbrella because the wind is supposed to pick up after about 4 today.
I feel very sad . Not depressed, just sad.

Was there some reason to think you might no be?Well, I'm still alive.....at least I think so.....
It's a question I have to ask myself every morning.....did I wake up dead?Was there some reason to think you might no be?
Is this your home that faces the ocean or another one?Today was a good day. I finally rented a storage locker to start moving stuff from the house in preparation to sell it. The paperwork was a real PITA. I do not think I needed as much to buy a house LOL.
I found a new home for a piano lamp and birdcage also.
This reminds me of a show on TV I saw as a girl. It wasn't the Twilight Zone, but maybe one of the knock-offs....It's a question I have to ask myself every morning.....did I wake up dead?
There was a hilarious short story I read once about a lady who died, but nobody would let her *be* dead. She told her husband she was dead; her husband replied that he was tired, too, but everybody has to keep on working....have some coffee and carry on. She told her teenage daughter and son she was dead, they said they were up late "studying" too but they still needed a shirt ironed and a ride to football practice. Rinse and repeat. She finally just gave up.
Well, you're on the other side of it. Things should go uphill from here. Feel better soon!Saw surgeon yesterday. He told me it might be up to two more weeks to feel better from surgery. He said all post op tests were good. My right thigh is totally black/blue. My left leg swollen, my toes look like sausages. I may need right leg surgery, I will know June 3. Pain is lessening, I no longer feel my left foot is on fire.
Had a long talk with myself. I just want to be happy after many challenging years. Now I must learn how. Willing to give it a shot.
I wish I could have a pile of dogs and some cats again, too. Condo living prevents a menagerie, however. My small Doggie Delight is all I can handle, altho' I think 2 pets are allowed, not sure.Just another grey morning. From now until mid-June, sea fog will typically blow in at night giving us some drizzle, but by noon the sun will usually have burned it off. The morning fog keeps the temperatures moderate. When that stops, we'll see 100+ with the highest temperature being so far 119.9 degrees (about 50 degrees Celsius) in the shade.
After my morning walk with the pups, I drove to the Vet. There was construction work on the road, but I made it on time. The Vet diagnosed the growth on my Big Guy's lower teeth as Epulis, with the possibility of being Gingival Hyperplasia. $750 to remove it. There is a good chance that it would regrow. So, for the time being, "wait and see" whether "Ross" will develop any discomfort. His 95 pound weight has so far not changed.
On the way home, I bought a cup of "freshly brewed coffee" at Starbucks for $3,75. Outrageous. I rather percolate my own coffee at home, but my wife receives at work free Starbucks gift cards, and we don't want to let them go to waste.
It's unusual that my wife doesn't prepare lunch for me before going to work. So, I fixed one of my "bachelor days" favorites: Quinoa with Salsa, and fried "Bratheringe" (fried herrings) imported from Germany. And as desert some sauerkraut because it's a great probiotic food and enhances the gut biome. The pups also received their mid-day treat, a spoonful of canned dog food.
OK, daughter's birthday is coming up. If I can't think of anything else, some money will always be appreciated. At the party, I will ask my son-in-law whether he, my grandson, and I can go and feed some ducks either at the Riverside National Cemetery or at Lake Arrowhead up in the mountains. Alternatively, we could drive to La Jolla to see seals, pelicans, etc. We probably will leave it up to my grandson what he would like to see.
My big Boxer has some excessive growth on his lower teeth. . . I love fried herrings

My daughter is feeding Mallards at Lake Arrowhead . . . . Seals in La Jolla. You can almost touch them though they can bite

My lazy bums. Walking 2 hours a day totally exhaust them. But from time to time, they come, lick me, and want to get petted
