An update from my morning post,at my primary dr's office, saw his nurse practioner,Diane as usual,like her everything was fine. His office is located across the street from the hospital where I worked for 27 yrs,the area has really changed since I've been retired,new buildings/a children's hospital.If I didn't know my way around there,I would surely get lost. I walked home from there ,7 blocks beautiful morning for a long stroll
I had a'senior moment' this afternoon,luckily my close friend, Marcia called to tell me. The art work display I mentioned is next Fri,don't know why I thought it was today,oh,well.

At least you had Friday in mind, that you confused with a different Friday....:)
Instead of a Friday confused with a Monday or a Wednesday.:giggle:

More important, I'm glad you didn't miss it!
(If you'd thought it was next Friday, and it had been this Friday. 🤓🤩😆)

It could have been worse, for a Senior Moment, is what I am trying to say. 😀
 

After he INSISTED, several times, that he put the red cup with the shelf holders in a black container with shed stuff in it; I went with him to storage. He went through 3/4 of the containers before he happened to glance down into a basket, filled with framed pictures, and there was the red cup. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So was able to get back to unpacking and putting stuff away. Our IKEA bookcases have held up well for three moves now, amd several years, with only one being broken. He put a hole in the back of a couple of them, but I bought white contact paper and used it to cover those holes. You can not tell they were there.

UPS my daughter a bunch of DVD’s that my son refused to take. I had a large collection and he took a lot as did she when she came out. Going to UPS her some more later. And that gets rid of, hmm, 20 years of dvds.

Threw all the yard stuff away that neighbor didn’t want. Going through kitchen stuff and getting rid of a lot as I put it away. I continue to unpack. He’s gone to do the laundry at the laundry mat. Did not buy machines yesterday as sales clerk was rude.

I am barely sleeping as hip still hurts too much.
 
I am going to paint our old wooden picnic table today. We bought it when we first got married around 1972. It was outside for only a year or two and then we put it on our screened in porch when we moved.
I've painted it many times through the years and it is in great condition, being under cover helps and I think it is redwood.

I don't have to do the benches anymore. A few years back I replaced them with plastic chairs to match. They don't look as nice but when we were young we could sit all evening on the benches with no problem.

Old age has caught up and we appreciate a back rest now and soft cushions.
 
We went town for our morning walk at the Municipal Park in Cloumbia. There was an inter-mural soccer game so we split up, I watched and walked near the soccer match. It was great, there age was about 12. Within 20 mintute each team had scored a goal. When my friend got back she told me she took a picture I need to see. I didn't know why it was so important until she pointed out that it had been vandalized. A friendly soccer match, and a deadly propaganda war side by side. We need help.

I couldn't agree more. We ( well me, hubs will still do it )... but there's many pub gardens I won't go to now because they have benches like this...

...and sitting for 2 or 3 hours with no rest for my lower back is painful, so now we only go where there's a choice of seating with backs and arm rests

Home after a 5 day camping trip in San Diego. Have some laundry ahead and some business items to manage.

Before packing up the RV I went through all the canned and packaged goods. Pulled a bunch out for stock rotation and will put them in the house pantry. The RV will be replenished with fresher stock before we go out next time. I took a full inventory of what remains.

Also pulled out 12 gallons of bottled water that have been in the RV for 18 months. Today I'll pour them on the plants and in the pool. Then I'll refill them with filtered water and put them back into the RV.

Hope you enjoyed your 5 days away...SS.
 
I don’t think my feet touched the ground today I was so busy at work.

One funny/silly thing that happened: I had to get to the hospital pharmacy before it closed to get some meds and so I took a “back road” to get there quicker. Two turkeys came out of the woods and almost broad-sided my car. Fortunately they got up enough height just in time they didn’t hit me but I found myself ducking inside the car in a knee-jerk reaction. Then I had to laugh at myself—like *that* really helped, haha 😂😂😂
 
I decided to prune the tree that's been growing out of one of the drain holes on my patio. I call it God's tree. I've lived here for 50 years and that tree only started growing 3 or 4 years ago. They will be putting something to kill the roots and cutting it down soon so it doesn't damage the patio structure. I had no intention of cleaning the patio but once I got out there, it felt nice...wasn't too hot so I decided to just get that out of the way. I had my son take the patio chairs to the garbage house with the bag of leaves and trash. When he left to run errands and go to lunch, I took time to watch T.V. and relax a bit because I knew we'd be busy this evening.

After he came back from lunch we were ready to work on music projects in our studio. We declared today as the official start date for working on my next album. He had already put in several hours on the preliminary mix of the tracks he loaded onto his digital music program from my instrument. We spent an additional three and a half hours this evening collaborating on the levels, EQ suggestions and effects but we still have a lot more to do. Ya better love the song(s) you're working on because they have to be listened to countless times, including separate tracks, parts of tracks and everything together. Here he is hard at work; he's in his element. @Pecos

I have heard his work and he really knows what he is doing. Add in the fact that he is working on your wonderful music and the outcome is guaranteed to be superb.
 
I didn't think I would be watering the flowers/plants in our community garden this morning,considering the so called local'weather experts' kept saying thunderstorm in morning which never materialized.It was around 6:45am,sun was out,temp was 73 when I finished, walked 2 times around garden circle
My long walk of the day will be 6 blocks when I stroll to/from church for our 10:30 service
The rest of my day,read local paper our 'family zoom' afternoon meeting which is now every other Sun look forward to that
 
Humid as heck out today so limiting time outside for the puppy and keeping him cooler inside. Out at 5:50 am for a long walk and run for an hour . Playing and running with the treibball for half an hour. This afternoon won't be out too much in this stuff !
