Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

Sorry to hear you lost a little loved one....... You're chihuahua most certainly will be missing his buddy.
Good for you for making the extras to ease him through the loss.......they know things too.
You're a great pet parent.
Thank you. It is very hard, but diverting my Baby's attention to somethings I know he would love not only helps him but making new memories (ongoing) also. I look forward to each new day and how I can do little things for him.
 

There is a high end hot dog and hamburger restaurant that has been opening around town lately, called Portillo's:

I didn't see prices but since it is a really nice building and not a hot dog truck, I imagine it is expensive. :)

Checking the ratings, it seems to get so-so ratings rather than good reviews, generally based on the service rather than food quality. What my wife and I like to do is go to a decent sub shop and get ideas for making more interesting sandwiches. Maybe we will try this place sometime. Places around here seem to being well with social distancing, enforcing masks, cleaning tables and other things that get touched, etc. so I don't feel at high risk going out once in a while. For us right now, that might mean once or twice a month.

I don't see any prices but that stuff looks delicious!
 
OMGosh if only I could make the comment I want to make, but no political comments allowed. 🤦🏻‍♀️
One time, at a card playing group I was new at, I mentioned something about church. A person at another table said emphatically, "we don't talk about politics or religion", and with that, later I apologized, but said, "but, I do believe I have a freedom of speech and can talk about whatever I want to. But, I apologize." And with that said, I have had no other interruptions and I do talk about whatever I want to talk about with others.
 
I couldn't find prices, so I suppose my wife and I should check it out ourselves. However, it may be a case of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" - Home of the $1,000 Hot Dog - Get Yours Today!!!". :)

My uncle said he bought their 3 bedroom 2 bath, one story home for $13,000 back in the 50's probably. I remember when I could not drive yet, about 1966, the price of gasoline was under 50 cents! And the man would come out and check your oil, pump the gas, wash the windows!

Yes, definitely. I posted something about the gasoline service back then in another post today too. My Mom said that our 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Los Angeles cost $14,000 in the mid-60s. These days, it sold for over a million dollars. Isn't that just weird?

It is nice to be able to share these memories with those who remember instead of getting blank looks that make us feel old. o_O

So funny! But, so true. I go to a senior center and most of them are 15-20 years older than me and we get along great. Some are old and bitter, and then there are the ones that are sweet, really good gentlemen, and some are very understanding.

There is a saying that we become more like ourselves the older we get. I suppose that means the things inside we used to be able to hide from the world, come to the surface (ever wonder what somebody smiling all the time is hiding - wait 'til they get old). Uh oh! :)

I think we understand more about the world and people. Just being yourself, while still respecting others. We also seem more understanding, and can see in between lines of speech of what is actually being said. And for those that are always right, you just let them talk and agree even when they are wrong. There are times I just refrain from talking to certain types of seniors. They are bitter, or arguementative, or just hard to get along with.

Great advice! :)

Had a mammogram today. They are very backed up and are booking new appointments into April. If there’s an obvious issue they accommodate you earlier. So even though I didn’t get my afternoon walk, I feel I accomplished something.

I hope the mammogram turns out to be okay.
 
Nothing much so far.. it's not yet 10am...it's pouring of rain. and I'm waiting home for 2 separate deliveries today .

I've spoken to my daughter, her area of Spain have just escaped a second lockdown while the rest of Spain has now gone back into strict lockdown. ..how long that will last for her is anyone's guess, but hopefully they'll escape it.

France has gone into full lockdown again.. and it's only a matter of time the before the whole of England goes back the same way. I'm dreading it happening.. but they say that we're back up to the levels of infection that we had back in March, and talk is of closing England until next March... . which would be a disaster for the UK given the terrible damage the last lockdown did to this small country... :(..even now they're expecting another million to be unemployed by next month after furlough comes to an end

You're a lucky guy! Portillo's originated in the Chicago area (where I live) and has expanded nationwide like crazy. Everything is just delicious and is worth every penny.

Service is very fast and they have the drive-thru process down to a science. Enjoy a real hot dog and more!

p.s. i am 71 soon to be 72 and i don't now how to post photos. having had no children ihave no one to show me. besides all that i have to admite that sideof my brain does not work. smiling
 
have patince with me please i keep getting a notice i must wait 10 seconds and of course i did but stil got themessage. heavy sigh.
 
I had an annual visit to the ENT Doctor to check my hearing and allergy issues.

My hearing is fine for a man my age, but has dropped off at the higher frequencies just like any one else who is 77. He told me that I may find it hard to understand people inside a noisy restaurant. I told him that I was "Good to Go" on this one since going out to eat is off the table for the foreseeable future. He did remove some ear wax and commented that wax tends to build up more as we get older.

My allergy issues are doing fine, but he told me that the Lupron hormone treatment that I get for prostrate cancer does contribute to congestion. I will be so, so happy when I am able to get off that stuff and stop having hot flashes and afternoon fatigue. It keeps my testosterone level at zero, so I have been losing muscle and going through menopause for the last 20 months.

I go back to see him in a year.

Now I have sheets to wash along with a few other routine chores.
 
Didn't set out to accomplish anything in particular, other than my morning cleaning chores.
Feeling a bit useless from my stupid stubbornness.
I may have gotten my sorting pretty much done.
But.
Now i'm paying the price for all the heavy lifting, pushing, moving stuff.
Major pain with my left hip......only pain when i walk, do stairs and lift.
Back on my high dose of tylenol 3.
Decided to go downtown for a couple of things, picked up a parcel at the post office......didn't get very far, had to set it down......a very nice man offered his help and put it in my vehicle......was so grateful.....thanking him very much.
I could have had both hips done a couple years ago.....but i chose not to at that time.....guess i'll have to smarten up.
The rest of the day nothing too hard.
