Sometimes you go shopping and don't get anything and that was the case today. Went to buy a hand vacuum and decided my old one was better, just bigger. Bigger is not always better space wise.

Then went to buy a houseplant at another store, their ad in the flyer lied, they did not have the plants, delayed delivery.

So one final try for a new door mat, all browns and blues, no grey.

Gave up on shopping today. Going to read a book.
 

@Lee,, don't have any fabric softener.
Trying dishwasher soap, vinegar & baking soda.

May be using wrong vinegar?

Water needs replaced,, will use white vinegar.

Going to have to putty all the gorges I'm making in drywall material.

Have plenty of time thinking about what color to use.
Have some almond left over,, trying to think if I have another color to change it.
 
Unfortunately, more shop work.

Today I had the singular pleasure of visiting the periodontist for a "deep cleaning".

What is a deep cleaning, you might ask? Well, first of all it consists of many shots of a numbing agent into the gum (fun, fun) followed by a cleaning that resembles an ordinary dental cleaning like after-school detention resembles the Spanish Inquisition. After Dr. Mengel got finished with me, Torquemada the dental technician took over with his mining equipment. I would have lost less blood from a vampire attack.

The rest of the afternoon, I went around trying to talk with numb lips and a tongue that was dead. THEN, it all wore off and that was even worse.

Oh, they also cleaned my bank account......
 
Fun times here - will move boxes of stuff that are in the garage on to the moving trailer, then haul up the stuff in the basement to the garage, and then to the moving trailer. The crew to load furniture will be here tomorrow.

And in the middle of all this fun, the furnace quit working yesterday. Service man came out, had to order parts which will not be here until Monday, so no heat until then. It was 21F here today and supposed to be 19F tonight. Using the gas fireplace to keep part of the house warm, and made a Walmart run this morning to get a couple of small space heaters.
 
I am going to go get my second vaccine shot, so excited to get this done. Then a couple hours later my usual three month appointment with my doctor, in her office, face to face. Probably lunch out, in between, eating in the car of course.

Hope there is enough time to go to the Jewish sandwich restaurant. Got to get the shot, run home to feed and potty Bella then, out the door again. Already did a little walking, going to be hard to get my six miles in today but got to do it.

Dealing with Soc. Sec. Office. I am executor for a buddy that passed away and I need to file his taxes but I need his Soc. Sec 1099 first so I can del with the IRS next. Meanwhile I am dealing with Veterans Affairs regarding his military burial stuff and the plaque they are supposed to pay for. Social Security, IRS, and the V.A. oh boy!
Then I have to go into the non-profit agency and help with some kind of technical equip. installation. Not that I will be of help tech wise but I can "Supervise" LOL. Hopefully I will get a walk in.
 
'Tis a touch of Spring our way and I am pulled in all directions...have these urges to begin my Spring cleaning list but then as I pop out the sun is shining, the snow is melting, then, I see 'all' the mares sashaying about with definite flirtatious moves, then I watch all the geldings hoping! A lot of racing around going on! Spring is definitely in the air! They should charge admission!

we haven't had the forms sent to us yet..although we've had a leaflet telling us about their imminent arrival....

I always fill them in, I don't know why some people don't want to..(except illegals) I think aside from the obviosu they're also a fascinating piece of history..I was amazed when I found my granparents census of 1911 to see my granny has about 7 more brothers & sisters than I knew of..all who had been older children than her at the time of the census..and 10 of them living in a one bedroom flat , and to see my great grandfather & grt grandmothers' occupations..

Where were able to view these docs hollydolly?
I'd love to see my past loved ones too..
 
Drove my girlfriend to the eye doctor for her regular check up. Had the car washed while she was there. Got some Asian takeaway on the way home - drive through. Both just come in from getting some "fresh air" and about to get the wine and some cheese and biscuits out of the fridge. Later on a film and snuggle up on the couch.

You can go on ancestry which charges but usually has a free for a month option, or the LDS which is the Family search site which I think is still free. You can also see which of your dead relatives the LDS researchers have converted from their religious beliefs when alive to LDS as dead. I found this very funny.

What type of Asian food? Chinese? I am so dying to eat at the Chinese buffet, and will risk it once my second shot has taken effect. It really is the same as take out. They make a fresh fish that I love and it’s all you can eat for 20 dollars for the both of us.

Husband eats a lot 😂. I was so desperate that son’s other, who is Chinese, has been making us food and bringing it over. 😍. I don’t drink though so while cheese and biscuits sound wonderful, I’ll take a diet cream soda please. Oh, what time did you want me over? 🤣

It's not specifically Chinese. You order the usual stuff like rice, fried rice or noodles as a base then you choose the main dish Yakiniku, spicy lime chicken, bamboo beef and so on.

Can you be here in half an hour? :)
