Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I went to the dentist today. Hoo boy. The dentist is getting his new BMW for sure! Two, maybe three crowns, two filling replacements and a trip to the periodontist and that's gonna be expensive. All this stuff was supposed to be done last spring but first Covid raised it's head and then I had to go away to care for my mother. Trying to catch up.
 

It's always a nice day when you don't have to cook isn't it. I need to cook the ground turkey I took out of the freezer and I'm too tired to do it because I've been up since 4:00 in the afternoon yesterday haven't slept.
It sure is Ruthanne. Gee your schedule seems similar to mine lately. A couple of days ago, I took a nap at 4 p.m., woke up at 11:30 p.m. and hadn't gone back to bed by around 4:30 p.m. the next day. That happened because the night before I was also up by 1:30 a.m. and stayed up until about 5 p.m. I know what you mean about being too tired to do something, even when it's something that's not too strenuous.
 
Yes! Not only didn't I yell at anyone today (one of those days, y'know?) I turned a couple of tense situations around and entertained those involved & myself by making us all laugh uproariously. Could I be growing up? :unsure:
 

Yes I got my scammed money back from the bank ...it wasn’t a great deal of money $300.
I was scammed on Gumtree (free site owned by eBay ) buying a plant that didn’t exist
( a variegated monstera ) Swiss cheese plant

The bank was able to contact the scammer who decided he or she didn’t want to give me back my money .

BUYER BEWARE using Pay Id method ......that the bank claims to be safe

The bank claimed I gave them the money ,I suppose that’s true in a sense , the scammer didn’t take it out of my account I paid it to them .....anyway after much communication back and forth I decided I’d had enough and id change my bank ....OMG right away they offered me the money back as a good will gesture so I achieved something I got my money back .

Meanwhile the scammer got off Scott free, the same plant has been listed on GT again and again by What I believe is the same person using a new name each time.

Ive seen it 3 times under different names and each time I’ve contacted GT who have deleted the accounts / adds at a moments notice

I had no choice I've waited 2 months for this scan, because of Covid-19 the waiting lists are very long, so I had to just wait... it's been a very long wait , and now more waiting for the results..

There was no-one waiting with me for a CT scan, but there was one woman waiting for a different procedure. Poor girl, she was telling me about her own ailments and why she was at the hospital today , but then burst into tears telling me that at 47, her husband has a brain tumour.. and they have 3 small children... :(
How very sad that is 😪. I don’t know who they are, but God will when I pray for then. And fingers crossed that your scan comes back squeaky clean too 💕
 
I think it will be safe posting this.......@Hollydolly....are you sleeping.
There won't be a single corner in my house that hasn't been sorted by spring.
Everyday i do a bit........nothing heavy to move or big lifting.......still paying the price for all the heavy lifting from not to long ago.
I feel good about my sorting accomplishments.
What on earth will i do next winter.......maybe do someone else's house.
 
Walked 3 miles today 😊. So wanted to do 5, but it just wasn’t in me. Guess I will have to build back up to that goal.
Oh, yay, someone else who walks a lot. Do you walk every day? Inside or out? A specific walk pattern or do you change it? Do you use a fitbit?

I am building up to walking 6 miles a day and am mostly successful-over 15,000 steps. But this is my limit. I wish I could do 10 miles, 20,000 steps, but I doubt I can. I walk mostly inside because of winter. I think I am wearing a path in my carpets 😂. I walk 15 minutes every hour and the steps build up. I can not walk 3 miles straight, maybe 1 mile, due to nerve damage in my back, I have to rest a lot.

Course Friday, when Rose comes or Bella, again in name discussions 🤦🏻‍♀️ with husband, I will walk in the carport and outside if no snow or rain. But my body hates the cold. I think maybe double name-Bella Rose 😂.
 
I did custom sewing for many years.........so i know many of the challenges, a lot of patience, no end to the day or hours.
Those were the good old days.
I used to sew. I took sewing in college 😂. (Two year degree) My two most notable pieces-a lovely jacket for a test. Unfortunately as I was finishing up I cut a large hole in the top of the sleeve. Disaster. Fortunately I could embroidery. Slapped a patch on, did embroidery over the patch, got an A plus. 😂

Second piece a pair of green giant patterned pants. I went to college under the GI bill and had little money for fabric or clothes. Once I learned to sew, bought a machine on layaway, and made all our clothes for a few years. We wore some interesting stuff, but it was the sixties, so no problems 😂😂😂.

I had no idea you could take sewing as a course in college. SUPER for YOU.

I am a weather whimp too, so walk daily in our underground garage...and feel lucky to have that. I used to walk 5 miles a day but that was a few years ago. Since then very little walking, but at least I worked and got in steps that way. Now I don’t work, and can’t go anywhere so I have turned into a slug muffin. Gotta build up to that 5 mile thing again...trying to get a little closer each day.

your puppy will keep you hopping...lucky duck. Only 5 more days!!!!! Can’t wait and anxious to see pictures!

LOL! Have sorted and organized our place once and need to do it again. (Husband is a slow learner 😂)

I do not know if you are being sarcastic or not but will give a serious response. It was still the era of “little Susie homemaker” wants a college degree even though things were starting to change. Although, lots of theses types of courses are available at colleges now, and were then.

I was a severely abused child and I did not want to abuse my children. I attended college and majored in Early Childhood Education to get a good foundation in the proper way to raise children without almost beating them to death. This was one of the courses I could take for credit. I never abused my children or foster children.

I minored (?) in English. I was unable to spell not just mistaking p’s for b’s but didn’t understand spelling, still could not tell time on a face clock, and math was a total mystery even though I test high on IQ tests. I think my mother literally knocked my brain loose by hitting me in the head so many times.

In any event, while my AA in Early Childhood Education and level of education is unimpressive to many, it stopped a cycle abuse in my family which, IMO, is impressive. It doesn’t matter what others think.
 
I did my regular chores, took my regular nap, and then took my regular nap. Then I down loaded a few more documents that I will need to do my taxes.

I am astonished by how much I will have to take for my MRD in 2021.
What is MRD?
 
RMD = Required Minimum Distribution

MRD = Minimal residual disease (MRD)
It would be nice if all these companies used the same wording:
RMD Required Minimum Distribution
MRD Minimum Required Distribution

They are both the same and force retirees to spend their savings on the Government's schedule rather than our own.
