What are you doing today?

Our dishwasher door was flopping open, instead of lowering slowly....the friction pads were worn out. So I ordered 4 a few days ago on EBAY....$1.50 each. I replaced both, and now have a spare set if that happens again. Another example of how a few minutes watching a UTube video can save me a bunch of money by Not having to call a repairman....a quick and easy 15 minute job.
 
Went for bike ride with my wife. Hit golf balls and practiced short game. Buying wine and snacks, cleaning up backyard for drinks with friends. Absolutely beautiful day here.

I've took advantage of the unseasonable warm weather today by taking a couple of walks
On my mid morning walk,I went a couple of blocks near where my close friends,Marcia&Dave live.As I was turning the corner,there they were walking family dog 'Aker'. I yelled 'Hey buddy boy',his ears perked up,as I came towards him he started wagging his tail. We walked to the house,Marcia sat on a chair on their porch as Dave started raking up leaves,'buddy boy' was lying down on porch in the sunshine,content
This afternoon,I walked around our apt building complex 3 times,saw/talked with couple residents who were sitting in the back garden.We social distanced,wore our masks
 
Oh yes, I forgot. One of the first things I did was dump my birthday watch — a Citizen no-wind version — into a glass of water! I fished it out, dried the leather wrist strap as best I could, and luckily for me, the leather dried perfectly (no stiffness) and surprisingly the watch works perfectly! (It's not a diving watch, or whatever you call those.)

So, if you ever have problems with a watch, just dump it in water! 🤣

Well... I haven't seen my only daughter for well over a year due to Covid-19 restrictions on flying... Today I'm very excited to report that in a couple of hours I'm going to fetch her from the airport, where she's landing after flying in from Spain. 🥰.. she's only going to be here for a day and a half..I have to take her back early hours of Wednesday morning... she can't spend any more time here, because this trip is only permitted under lockdown rules as a ''work trip''...but never have we been apart for so long so I'm just stoked to have her here even only for a short time..

We're going to look at property today for her because she's selling up and coming home before Christmas this year, after being away for 11 years....

Went to the dentist this morning. On the way back I thought I pick up my wristwatch I had dropped off yesterday to be repaired. The jeweler said to come back today, but when I walked in he said "You're early!" This was almost 11 am. He indicated that the watch wasn't ready and to come back tomorrow. I pointed out, needlessly, that he said to come back today and then added, "I'm here now." He reiterated that it wasn't ready and to come back tomorrow. We went around a few times on this carousel, but I guess if it isn't ready, it isn't ready. If he'd get off the phone, maybe he could do some work. He was on the phone yesterday and today when I walked in, and from what I heard, it wasn't business-related.

I went back and the watch still wasn't ready. He couldn't even remember my bringing it in. He asked if he had given me a claim check, which he hadn't. He looked around his shop for about 20 minutes and couldn't find it (this is a shop smaller than my bedroom). I was getting more miffed by the second. I finally said that I had brought it in in a small gold-colored box. Then all of a sudden he remembered it. Then he fussed around with it about 15 more minutes. All told, three trips to the jewelry shop, about an hour of my time and $5. I wonder how he stays in business.

I'm so excited for you. Have a wonderful time, Hols. I hope the property is perfect for your daughter's needs.
 
I went for my early walk this morning around 6:45,already was 60,no wind,refreshing
As usual,this morning I called Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are,if they are using the calendar of events that was sent out.The programs we offer are either by phone or zoom
The rest of my day,mid morning long walk in the unseasonable warm sunny day temps, in low 70's.This afternoon sat out in the community garden with couple of residents.I think tomorrow will be the last day of sunshine/warmth,then back to reality when temps by end of the week will be in the 50's,which is our avg temp this time of yr
 
I've been busy rearranging the den/library/spare bedroom in my apartment with an eye towards eventually moving to smaller quarters. When I'm finished the approx. 12'x12' space should approximate the space I would have as a living room in a small senior apartment.

One more day of actual work moving furniture and then it becomes more of a mental tug of war on deciding what small items to keep and what to dispose of.

That's wonderful! I am happy for you all!
Does she have an offer on her property yet @hollydolly ?
 
Share the warmth is happening in the town where I work. Yesterday 5 residents received winter clothing donations distributed by Catholic Charities. Today I drive residents to Walmart and the Dollar Store to shop and pick up supplies. Friday, I drive another group of 5 residents to Catholic Charities for coats, boots, gloves etc.
