I went for my early walk at 6:40,once again doing my 'singing in the rain'
This morning's 'road trip' with Mary going to Target,need a couple of items
My next door neighbor,Pat's aide,Amy who comes Mon/Thurs is recovering from kidney stones won't be back for another week
This afternoon I'll take her,{she uses a walker} downstairs to laundry room to assist her.I've helped her out with other things over the yrs when her daughters{both work full time} can't be there. I have a key to her apt,so I look in on her every day to make sure she is behaving,we have a wonderful friendship,think the world of her
 

The Wife and I jumped on the bike and ran almost 200 miles in the Mountains of NC enjoying the weather and colors...

Today read the paper go on mid morn walk
The rest of my day family zoom meeting at 4,tonight watch theWorld Series,hopefully Dodgers can come back from the last night's loss
 
Today I'm meeting up with my daughter to do a grocery swap. I went to Costco and she went to Aldi. ;)
This afternoon's meet-up will be quick, masked and socially distanced.

We pierced the two family bubble a couple of weeks ago for both families to take care of appointments. We restarted the isolation period about 10 days ago, so we'll be able to be in each other's houses and have unmasked visits by next weekend.
 
Well I haven't done anything yet except have coffee and fixed my computer. Now going to start breakfast. After that I am changing the sheets on my bed and doing laundry. It is a sunny day but I don't think I will make out to the park today. I want to start working on my storage room downstairs and I can go through things there while I am doing laundry. Just a box or two at a time. Then it will be time to do my bunny's cage.
 
I've done very little today.. I'm kinda thrown because the clocks went back this morning...

It's been a sunny day, and I could have gone out to take some Autumn photos but I've felt tired all day so I went for an afternoon nap.. and hubs went to the supermarket to pick up some beer, and he brought me back a box of chocolates... awwww... :love:
 
Brought in my houseplants that had been summering out in the backyard. Temps at night will be down in the mid to low 30sF now. Snow was even mentioned on this morning weather forecast for Halloween! Don't mind doing this twice a year, but the date palm tree and cactus are getting cumbersome. That cactus is almost as tall as I am and probably weights 50 pounds in the pot with 2 inch long needles. I can never move it without getting "inoculated" by it. OUCH!

What a day ... the weatherman forecast that today would be sunny and the only dry day of a wet week, so I thought I must go and do all the shopping , and banking etc..
When I left the house it was chilly, but sunny... so I didn't take a coat... 30 minutes later as I arrived at the next town where I had to be.. the skies darkened to almost black , the heavens opened and it pelted down. :eek:🌧☔..There's no parking near the bank on pain of a parking fine.. so I had to walk up the high street.. getting soaked, only to find the bank is closed for all of Wednesday.. :mad:..this is all a new situation since the first lockdown.. now instead of being open 5 and a half days a week 9 till 5.. .. they're only open from 10 till 3pm.. Mon-Tues-Thurs-Fri... god alone knows what people who work on Saturdays do now ( bear in mind we're no longer under lockdown) ...

Then to the hardware store to pick up some stuff.. cashier put half my stuff through before realising she'd missed another load... as she started to put it through, a woman further back in the queue pushed in and demanded her stuff get put through first.. What ??? I told her no.. the cashier is dealing with me, and she was really abusive.. .. some people are nuts I tell you...

Drove further to Aldi's and Iceland.. ( frozen food store for those who don't know) .. and the locusts had been into Aldi.. so I had to get less than I would usually.. then got soaked again walking along to Iceland *sigh*...

Got home, only to find someone's van blocking our drive.. so I couldn't get close to the house to get the shopping in... and so I got soaked AGAIN!!:(

If that is sunny tomorrow I swear I will scream...

What a day you have had! I love your term "the locusts" because those are the days I avoid shopping.
 
Today I am trying to fix my entrance way to look less cluttered and more pleasant. Taking everything out of it and seeing what I can do. Working on a new recipe for my acorn squash that I got at the farmer's market. Soaking Rabbit's sheets that got soiled with his unmentionables.. I will clean his cage and go out to the dumpster and take some boxes I had in my storage area downstairs (oh boy, I cannot understand why I buy stuff and then save the box). That's enough for today, not counting meals and dishes.

You save boxes in case something breaks before the time you have to return it expires. Then, like me, you only go through the boxes every now and then, and dispose of the ones you can not ever use.

I am trying to track down the reason why the TV in the living room is unable to get some of our favorite channels. I am arriving at the conclusion that the signal strength coming off of that port of the cable signal splitter has been reduced because of a recent nearby lightning strike. This TV works fine if I haul it to another room and hook it up. It also gets a fairly large number of other channels when it is hooked up in the living room.

Oh, I absolutely hate crawling under the house on my belly to get to that splitter, but it sure looks like that is what I am going to have to do. If it is not the splitter, then that particular cable will need to be replaced and I will hire someone to do that.
 
I guess we are lucky since the whole time it hasn't seemed like we were locked down. Have to social distance and wear mask but seems like life went on as before. In my building, we can't do community things and social events in town were canceled. So far, the health department says my county is at a low risk. I hope you can get what you need before that lockdown.
