Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

After two months and a week, got a haircut. Had my mask on as well as the cutter did. She is a terrific 69 year old lady! A young guy I use to go to, has a sign on his door to his shop "Mask required to enter", yet, he doesn't wear one when he cuts. I didn't have him cut my hair.

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 am getting one next week, oh joy.

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.

I know I would be looking forward to getting off a Treatment like that too and I really hope things get better for you.

Other than make lunch for hubby & I ,, haven't done anything but look for another Boston Terrier, online.

Would settle for an adult dog 1 or 2 years old.
Not saying no to a puppy.

Yes a two-year-old dog is anice age I believe. I got mine when she was about 2 years old.

Harvested and cut back the tomato plants and brought in the tubs.

Will see what happens. This has been an experiment in horticulture from the getgo. At least I got several crops of cherry and plum tomatoes this summer. This is what was left on the plants before I gave them a crew cut:

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.

awww %$**...that Hip, Micka... I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain... :(:(..hope you feel a little better soon
 
I have a winter jacket that I like. As usual with jackets, the zippers get jammed or won't work right.

I looked for new jackets but didn't like any. They are expensive. I will get one later when they go on sale.

So I decided to buy a zipper and take the old one out. I didn't realize what I was letting myself into.
I must have spent five or six hours. But eventually I did get it installed. An exercise in patience. And don't try to do it all at one time. A bit at the time and then take a rest. I do have a sewing machine but it can't handle the thick parts. That's a hand sewing job.

This particular jacket suits me because it buttons up tight around the neck. Others I try are loose.

Sometimes all you need is a new slider on a zipper so before you go through replacing the whole zipper check to see if the slider is faulty. If the zipper is metal that's usually all you need. The plastic zippers get damaged and wont mesh properly. The sliders are sold at places that sell the zippers.

I replaced a zipper on a summer jacket. That was really easy because there isn't layers of insulation. It's easy sewing.
 
Well my rewiring has all been done, and my new router installed.. I've also got a new remote control for the TV where you just tell it what channel you want rather than tediously scrolling through zillions to get to a favourite..

Just can't quite get the google home hub or Amazon echo to reset, but my o/h will manage that when he gets home this evening
 
Not working today so my to-do list is long! I’ve already run several loads of laundry, reorganized the spare room to make room for all the plants I had to bring in from outside, hung several pictures including a large original canvas Ron’s sister gave us as a wedding present. I’ve browned the turkey Italian sausages in preparation for big pot of soup I’m making for a Halloween get together for the kids and grands. We’ll toast marshmallows over the fire pit and make s’mores for dessert. Watered the plants. Answered a bunch of emails.

I’m planning to devote the rest of the day to a bunch of computer stuff for work which I’ve been putting off for a month. 😖
 
Got up early and saw our very disabled son. Third try is the charm. Apparently he is so bored he naps in the afternoon lol. Wanted me to buy him some new movies. Sorry, they are not making them right now. Watch tv, I’ve seen everything. You and me both.

Then the early morning call from my other son in a group home. Mom, I need chocolate milk and frosting. Are you bringing it? Are you on the way? Buying it now. Had to make two stops as 7/11 did not have frosting. What’s up with that? Delivery made.

Then I ask husband, while we are out is there anything you want? Yes, of course there is. Go to Win Co. Score a couple of wipes. Husband gets juice. I get ice cream. I know, diabetic, but if I get the mammogram I’m going to need ice cream. That’s my deal with myself. You can have ice cream if you get the mammogram. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I appreciate the encouragement everyone is giving me.

Back home now. Hot dogs for lunch. It’s too freaking cold outside.

I wholeheartedly agree. Good ice cream is the solution for so many things including unpleasant medical procedures.
Good luck.
 
I just got back from Tops. It wasn't really that cold but I wore a coat and a hat just in case. I keep thinking today is Sunday and was surprised to so many cars in the parking lot.

The rest of the day, I am not planning on doing much. Maybe watch videos and color.
