So far today,,I've got up & had breakfast & coffee.

Its humid & over cast so far today.
Should pull weeds in flower beds,, think about moving lilies.

Is it too early to move lilies?
Their flowers are done.

I would only transplant lillies in September ..or even as late as early October as long as there's no frost
 

It rained yesterday so didn’t have to water this morning, went for a walk instead after breakfast. Then watch tv, husband got up, set him to work, watch tv, made goulash for lunch, and now ready for my afternoon nap. 😂

In my defense my back is acting up a lot so I am very limited in what it can do right now. But I have to walk or things will shut down fast. I could go to the pain doc and get my very overdue spinal shot, but, with the virus, it’s very risky to stay indoors with others that long. Trying to rest a lot and see if the nerve calms down.

I know it's hard to do things when were in pain. I sympathize with you. I still have a painful sprained wrist and have to be very, very careful with what I do because I have reinjured it several times--it's the main hand I use. I've been using my left hand much more now.

The pain isn't going away though and it's been this way for over 4 mos. I have a dr. appointment late next month for xrays and to see the dr. Maybe I'll get some relief then. I hope you will be feeling better. I know how those shots can really help, I've had them, too, and what a relief they are.

I do understand your fear of going to the pain doctor with this virus still out there. I can relate on that, too. That's the very reason I haven't sought treatment for anything in a long time. All the best to you!

I get where you're coming from Ruthanne, I find that since so many people are still ''working from home'' everywhere I go which is usually quiet during the working week is packed!! Yesterday for example at the retail parks , it was like a Saturday or Sunday morning at Christmas, just solid with cars and people.. ...still poor things they can't go back to work because they fear catching the virus... :unsure:

Yes, the parks are packed. I may go there early in the morning one day. I know Suzy dog will love that. A year ago the park was not crowded early morning but who knows now.
 
Today I took the stroller and walked just over 4 hours. Cleaned the bathroom and kitchen floor and did laundry. Now I’m about to play my saxophone for an hour or so.

We had so much fun on our walk today. We went to a new place with paved paths which was perfect for the stroller. 4 hours is too long for the Yorkie but perfect for the bigger one, plus it’s great for stashing all our stuff; water, leash, cell phone, umbrella etc.

Washed the sheets, made the bed, did my regular chores for a Thru, and ordered a new rice cooker for my wife.

I was up at 2:30 in the morning changing batteries in a smoke detector that decided that was the ideal time to wake the household up. Why are these things programmed to fail at such obnoxious hours? Why not 3 in the afternoon or some other civilized time?
 
I had breakfast....Then I went to the store to order food for my Husband's Birthday, Sunday....Then my daughter in law was next door from her
office and I visited her...Just a bit...Didn't want to stay to long....She was working...Even though she is the greatest daughter In law anyone would love....
Drove home, it was only a couple of blocks....Husband didn't want to go out in the backyard, very hot today....So I put my bathing suit on and
only put my feet in the pool, and it was warm....So I took the hose and put water in the pool....I then went in the Gazebo with the fan on....
I had ice coffee and read my book....Then I was bored...
Now I'm in the cool house....And I'm staying here, still with my bathing suit on....But I have a But!!!! I forgot to take the hose out of the pool...
So it's a little bit almost over the 3 steps.....My kids don't want to swim....It's too Hot....
Anyone want to go in the pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes, those batteries can be most annoying. Luckily I have lithium batteries in mine here and they have never gone bad in 8 years.
 
Another great day here, first a long walk before most people got up in this area. Couple of hours of yard work including removing the remains of a deck shelter. That last major storm here took it out and 3 trees. After lunch took a break, a two hour paddle just looking around. My fist time in a canoe this year. Back home, stir fry dinner. I keep it simple, now 8:20 , sitting in my chair looking out over the lake and the loons doing some fishing. Earl Grey of course.
I could get used to days like this....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::devilish:
 
I did some exterior painting around the windows of the south facing sun room. I cleared a section of guttering that was clogged with leaf debris. I mowed about 2 acres or so. I baked a batch of snickerdoodle cookies and four loaves of cinnamon raisin bread....for the Saturday market. While the bread was rising I read a bit of "Buddhism for Beginners".

Started on a batch of peach and pepper jelly. Peaches peeled and smashed, key limes juiced and both are mixed with a little sugar to macerate overnight. Dunno if the load of laundry that just finished drying is going to get folded and put away tonight or not ....probably or not.

Oh yum. That sounds sooo good. I love jam and key limes. I’d bake fresh bread just for some good tasting jams and preserves. My laundry got left in the dryer. There’s always tomorrow.

I think a sprained wrist is not only extremely painful but very inconvenient especially since it is your main hand. Do you try and keep your arm in a sling? I would have to do that to avoid using that side.

Yes, I often think I’ll like my shot. Then I think I have to wait in the waiting room, then walk through the building and wait in the exam room, then walk to the procedure room and have the procedure, then to the procedure waiting room where I have to stay for 10 minutes or more. Then walk through the building to get out.

It is major exposure in an HVAC building. I don’t think I’m so much afraid as trying to be sensible. Plus I think it might be my SI joint and not my spine. Made an appointment with ortho. But eventually I will get my shot. I will have to be in less pain. Just want to make sure the shot is done in the right place.

Sorry, this is off the subject, kind of. 😂 But making the Appointment to go to the ortho is an accomplishment.

Yes, I accomplished a bunch of household chores already. On to some more.

Impressive!
I went to Costco yesterday and did about an hour's worth of chores around the house. When we use our RV, an hour's worth of chores makes the entire interior clean and organized. In my house an hour's worth of chores barely registers on the housework Richter scale.

Yes being sensible is important.

The first thing I thought of after injuring my wrist was a sling but that is an impossibility for me with living alone in caring for 3 pets. So I have learned how to maneuver with my hand where I can not hurt it any further and I'm doing a few things to relieve the pain.

Good luck with dealing with your pain.
 
Today I accomplished the best laugh I’ve had in ages !

Saying goodbye to my daughter after lunch, she threw her arm round my neck to hug me, unfortunately she was holding her keys which got caught in the open weave top I was wearing, she couldn’t free her arm and had me in a headlock !

The more we struggled the harder we shrieked with laughter, while her boyfriend sat in his car wondering what was keeping her, I was actually crying with laughter, did me the world of good !
