December 2019... Share Your Day... Merry Christmas All...

Yesterday, Wednesday, the visiting nurse came to the house. They do this every year. Everything checked out good and just a few suggestions on some of the pills we are taking. Mostly what time of day they should be taken. All in all, she was very thorough. Oh, and we both get a $15 Walmart gift card.
 

Well the rain didn't let up, so just after dark we drove over to the hall to cast our vote, we would usually walk but it was just too wet, I can honestly say I've never seen such a large voting electorate turn-out , I'm hoping that it's because people want the right party in and not the ''wrong '' one.. . We'll know by tomorrow morning once the votes have been counted
 
This morning I'm going to the Canopy of Neighbors Annual Christmas party
Its a wonderful way to see other members,volunteers,staff
In June of this yr,I started coming in twice/wk calling a group of members,for a weekly 'Hello'. I hope to meet some of them today who I don't know,and vice versa
 

Dry yesterday so we did some shopping in the morning and went to vote in the afternoon.
It's only a small village so it's lucky we have our own poling station. Virtually sucked in by the vacuum in the hall and the two ladies running the place seemed delighted to us.

Wet and miserable today. Went to the fishmonger's to stock up for over the Christmas break. Going to cook pork chops with spätzles and a mushroom sauce for dinner.
 
Good Morning, Today I am extremely itchy, and they say that is great because they are dying inside me, and that's the body trying to get rid of them... Very very itchy, so is Carl, so maybe we are on our way downhill from these nasty bugs...

Ordered a Service Coat from Amazon so Carl can come into stores with us, and not stay in the truck by himself. There are already a handful of stores he can already go to, and he knows where they all keep the treats...

Not sure where this week went, but she went by quick. Almost too fast. Well, all the snow has melted again, and down to grass...Tonight we are supposed to get rain, and some freezing rain, and rain all day tomorrow...

Well, need to go and do a wipe down on all the plastic-covered furniture with Lysol Wipes, and wash the bedding again... Been doing this all week, and probably another week to go...

Well I've been taking that new drug they gave me for my diabetes, and man oh man, it's a wonder drug, sugar readings have been perfect, no High or Low sugar readings... So very happy with that...

Well, Kids, I hope YOU all have a wonderful day... and God Bless YOU all...

Fitted a new temperature controller into my cooker. It should be easy, but because you have to take the front panel off, you first have to undo loads of screws and lift the hob. Then you can get at the two screws that hold the controller, swap it for a new one (only means swapping a few wires) and then you do everything again, but in reverse.
What should only take a few minutes, takes an hour.

Mrs. L has put up the Christmas tree in the lounge and is decorating it. There will be a smaller one in the kitchen.
 
Finally got my hair cut yesterday! She lopped off several inches into a nice bob with big bangs. (fringe) All the bleached ends are gone and my color is au naturel. I was amazed at my gray... it looks like a champagne blonde color now!

Then went grocery shopping. One of my old friends sent me a $50.00 gift card to one of the supermarkets. I really treated myself!

smoked salmon
container of store made lobster bisque
rare deli sliced roast beef
watercress
multi grain seeded bread
Gorgonzola cheese
sirloin tips
Panettone
and some usual items....

It was a good day.
 
I got all the sets of sheets washed finally, also cleaned the kitchen floor and vacuumed again..I'm forever vacuuming bird feathers :giggle:

Waiting again for my food delivery and hoping they get it right as I've ordered some extra things I have a taste for.

Made out a couple of Christmas cards for my brothers. Hoping it will stop raining so we can take a short walk at least.

My delivery just came and they got it right although they gave me a bigger than usual pkg. of ground beef. Guess I will make 2 different things with it--chili and perhaps meatballs.

Listening to Spotify again. 🎼

Your Whitman's Sampler reminded me of my older sister, she always poked a hole in the bottom of a piece and put it back in the box if the filling wasn't to her liking. Sad to report that not much has changed.
 
My day is going well. Got my new cell phone in the mail yesterday. It's working okay and is better than the last one I had. I find the days go better with music playing.

It hasn't snowed yet except for little snow flakes that haven't amounted to anything...yet. We are supposed to get snow tonight but I won't believe it till I see it! :sneaky:

When we lived in Cleveland many years ago, it was always "west side or east side" ...often the snow came in the snow belt on the east side.
 
just had a good chat with new neighbour ' she has dogs -I have cats and so forth - so pleased to that she is a hairdresser LOL never know how handy it is - got 2 big loads of washing to do 'so quick cuppa then off '
and pappy your mirrors look great -
 
I've been rummaging around in my pantry this morning to see what odds and ends I have on hand for the next two weeks and making a shopping list for things that I need/want between now and the end of the year.

I always start with a long list of things for the holidays and then go back and pare it down to a more reasonable level. Like the old saying, My eyes are bigger than my stomach.

Need to clean the kitchen and bathroom, vacuum, etc...

Just another ho-hum day in paradise!
