February 2020 ~ Tell Us About Your Day...

It's snowing this AM, after a weekend of temps in the low 70's. It dropped 40 degrees to what it is now. Love watching the snow fall from our front apartment window, but when my wife goes back to work, will have to cope with this kind of weather in the winter. Most likely, I will take her to work. I can drive in snow!

But, for today, will stay in. She will do her job search thing and I will try and finish burning music cd's
 

Doctor's office called me in to go over blood test results .. I'm just over the borderline and am diabetic. She has prescribed Metformin, which apparently can have some unpleasant side effects. I will be going to "classes" to inform me how to change eating habits. Meanwhile, I will visit the Diabetes online site for more info and recipes.

Otherwise - it's a lovely sunny day today. Yesterday, we were out in wet snow, and more is predicted through the week.
 
Didn't sleep very well and felt rotten this morning. I seem to have a persistent low grade cold that just won't go away. I took a couple of paracetamol and that helped quite a bit and I'm feeling a bit better now. Weather was cool and sunny this afternoon, but we managed to get a load of washing dried before it became too windy.

Showery and quite windy this evening. I'm just waiting for Mrs. L to come back from Tai Chi. Che's been doing it for many years, so she must be pretty good by now.
 

Well, Kids, this is a Good Night...

Well I worked more on the kitchen wall I knocked down months ago...Should have the bulkhead done by Friday afternoon, and then a little trim and that area will be done...

Tomorrow is breakfast day with the boys... and Wednesday, have to see my diabetic doctor for my 3 months check-up... Telling YOU all this in case I don't get on the next two mornings...

The other two puppies will be going home tomorrow, and then we have Monty coming on Sunday for two weeks... Monty and Carl are cousins, and they are about the same speed for everything... Monty is a rescued Greyhound from Arizona.

Well, Kids, that is all I have to report for today and tomorrow... So I hope everyone had a very GREAT day tomorrow, and God Bless YOU all...
 
Yesterday I had to be at the private hospital ( not NHS) to see a consultant and have a battery of test.. exhausting ..and expensive, but I hope worth it.. .

Next week I have to go in again and have another endoscopy... :(...

Daughter has flu.... so she's not feeling well, and after the Gota fria storms of last week in Spain she had to have the roof of the house re-sealed where the it had cracked and leaked a little bit , she is lucky she's so protected up in the mountains and didn't suffer the damage that those in the properties on the low ground did ...

Today I'm just resting, no plans for today, just get over yesterday...

Good Morning! I just found this thread. I am having coffee and listed some stuff to sell on FB marketplace. I am going to make some veggie burgers for freezer meals now. Then my bf is coming up to take me to the credit union. There was a mix up when I paid my son's rent and mine. I am my son's rep payee and I pay his rent and mine with money orders. My bf did it for me yesterday at the post office and paid for each money order with the wrong debit card. So I have to get the extra money out of my son's account to put in my account so I can pay my bills. Have a good day!

@moviequeen1 , your Canopy sounds like fun. I wish we had something like that at my condo community. Our local Seniors Center is a snooze.
 
Grocery shopping this morning, potting some "tissue cultures" of an exclusive Nandina our great speaker gave us at the garden club meeting yesterday. Easy dinner, getting ready for the full cardiac workout tomorrow morning. Finally, then...quiet rest of the week where we can get down to the bottom land with the chain saw and finish cutting up that oak tree...lol. Life is good!
 
I had to nap this afternoon, which I do not enjoy doing (I'd prefer to be active!)....but.... my difficulties demand it.
I am thankful to be awake, and able to sit up, having a coffee treat.... gazing outdoors, where the sun is setting behind dark silhouettes of bare-branched trees, snow on their feet, and deep purplish-blue above...

Thankful for being alive, today, and for the Internet!

I looked this plant up, and it looks wonderful. I enjoyed seeing it, so I am glad you mentioned that.(y)
Will you be keeping it in a pot indoors, or will it go outdoors, eventually, assuming it thrives?

(Sorry to have mentioned 'coffee' in my post above. I had forgotten you have your cardio tomorrow, so must take the day off from it, till after that. :rolleyes:;) )
 
Morning all...

Glorious sunny, if a bit chilly this morning.. got the heating off and all the windows open for a while just to make things fresh all the way through.

Street cleaning truck has been around today cleaning all the roads and verges... they do it about 4 times a year.. ..it prevents any leaves or litter building up against the kerbs..


I have a pension which has matured, it's not a huge amount in the great scheme of things, so I have the option to take it in one lump sum, before April so I've decided I will take it and maybe use it for a frippery just for a change, ... (no pun intended) :D

Have a super Wednesday folks, whatever your day brings you... :giggle:
