Went shopping, went to the dinosaur park, baby loved it. Daughter leaves for Texas in the morning. ☹️ We had a great time together.

Texted granddaughter and offered to take the 10 year old for the summer, as did my daughter. Granddaughter seemed to be a bit over stressed with the two sisters who currently hate each other. (Thanks Covid). Just waiting for a decision on where the kid wants to go.

Bella got fixed. She is very unhappy, refuses to eat but drank some. She will get over it. She has slept most of the day. I’m going to bed soon.

Well, so far today I already have my headache. My Husband is at the doctor's after having prostate surgery 2 weeks ago. When he goes to the bathroom he has been passing blood clots. My Daughter who is an RN took him. She took me to my doctor yesterday. I don't know what I would do without her help. To keep myself busy I went in FaceBook and my nephew who moved to Georgia many years ago is in surgery. His wife put it on facebook. He has been battling the covid since November. He has been in the Hospital since November. He had a double lung transplant and been on and off ventilators. I called his older brother who also lives in Georgia and he didn't even know about the surgery, because his brother's wife doesn't bother with him or his sister. Now I'll just have to wait to hear what is going on. I told my older sister that she should have taught me to be an alcoholic when we were young and then maybe we would not worry so much. She said maybe it isn't too late to start drinking now.

I'm sorry to hear this Sassy. I hope he recovers quickly....it's been since Nov. Maybe the worst is over.

I hope your hubby will soon be ok!

Sorry for all you're having to go through.......hope things ease up for you soon.
Take care.
 
I had to go and have an US scan this morning.I really didn't want to go, I felt so tired this morning, but I went anyway.. results are supposed to be in a weeks' time..

Then after that I went over to the far side of the county to do some shopping because one store in particular had some thing advertised that I wanted.. waste of time really, because they only had one out of the 3 things I wanted.

Anyway, quite a mild day, no rain, but people seemed to have been dressed up for a wet or cold day.. you'd have thought it was November instead of May by looking at them

I managed to buy a whole load of junk necessary items... and then stopped and had a coffee at Starbucks, and watched the buskers singing on the market square.. but there was a woman a table away vaping and the vapour was blowing right into my face so I had to leave my seat and cross over to the other side of the market square to get away from it

It's quite a long walk from the high street stores to the car parks in that particular town and especially so when you have heavy bags so I had the presence of mind to take a shopping trolley we have stored at the back of the shed, and I didn't care if it made me look like an old lady ..:ROFLMAO: it saved my back from going out with all the stuff I bought.. ( no supermarket shopping)... just a whole load of different types of stores..
 
Just learned that our Porch Pirate plead guilty ( couldn't very well not with the evidence against him).. but as I expected he got a slap on the wrist ( 12 months suspended sentence and to pay the cost of the wine back to us as well as court costs ).. I won't be holding my breath for any costs to us :rolleyes: .. but that was just info in a text from the police.. a follow up letter will explain more apparently...
 
Went to VA for a bladder scan. Have a appointment with a urologist coming up and he ask for this test. Had to drink a quart of water before I went. I forgot not to take my water pill, so by the time I got in for my test, I darn near left a trail of urine to the exam room. The gal was very quick and knew I had to get to bathroom. Everything came out okay….pun intended.
 
Spent the day working in the shop, editing photos and mapping out a possible route back to the flatlands I grew up in to see my sister. Will probably have to go solo so am trying to decide between a motorcycle route or one for the old Miata. The old body doesn't do 600 mile days on the bike like I used to when I was younger so the old Miata is looking better and better, especially from a time standpoint. In case anyone is interested, I use Garmin Basecamp on the desktop to plot routes and them transfer them to the nav unit on the motorcycle or car.
 
^^^ If it were me, I'd take the bike. How many more years do you have to experience a great motorcycle adventure. That's the way I look at it now. I did a 10 day tour last summer on mine, which I store at my brother's place in New Brunswick. It was a blast!! Great memories :love:

At least your burglar got caught. I've had my debit card burgled twice and someone some stole my phone number and I had no service. Ended up having to buy a new phone and get a new number.

Well, not likely for you to catch someone who stole your phone number on a video doorbell as we did with our Porch pirate.....

My husband has his Debit card compromised some years ago...and he didn't know until he got a call from the Police Fraud dept.

Fortunately they'd discovered his card had been 'skimmed' the same day it had been done, so he was able to get all of it back..

It was in the days where you gave your card over to pay and a waiter could walk away with your card and the reader.. or shops could take the reader behind the counter along with your card..( today your card and the reader stays right in front of you).. but it was our local petrol garage ..can you believe it ?

They had a big scam going.. a gang of immigrants working in several branches over a large area , of a chain of petrol garages (gas stations)..

..and the counter was high (still is in that petrol garage).. but back then you gave the card over to the assistant and thay would put it in the reader behind the counter where we couldn't see, but in this case they had a second card reader where they were skimming off all the card numbers..

That is the reason why I always pay with cash, as in, the filthy folding stuff. Cash can't be profiled either.

Holly, you can buy anti-skimming sleeves to protect you from the nefarious experience that befell your husband.
