My aide is coming today, she had to cancel yesterday because her little girl coughed at school so had to get a covid test. I think I might have another job for her in my building so she will be happy. Bingo today downstairs so as soon as she gets done it will be time for that. This morning I will just do little chores till she gets here. Updating posts on my blog at the moment. Somehow the font goes crazy and I have to go through older posts constantly and change it back. Frustrating! Thank you, blogger, I needed the extra work.
 

Wednesday for me is laundry day and the day to tidy up because I work on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings and don't feel like doing anything when I get home.

There are a few things I want to get done in the garden, too. We have an unexpected fog this morning. As soon as it burns off, I'll get outside and get 'er done.

So @timoc, did you get lunch from your neighbor?

Certainly did, fried chicken and mushrooms, then rice pudding for afters, followed by a second bowl of rice pudding and three cups of tea. I told her that with the weather being still warm I'll likely have to come back next week and mow the grass again. :)
 

The laundry is laundering as we speak. The gardening chore that I've been putting off has been done. Poop scooping after DD's dog has been done. Annnnd...I even vacuumed and spot cleaned a couple of small areas on the carpet.

All that and it's not even 10 am.

@timoc, with a lunch like that, it's shame that she doesn't need you to mow every day😋
 
@Pappy
I was very glad to see your update post, here today.
If you aren't feeling significant improvements, then perhaps consider having another covid test, of the longer type which might be more accurate than the same-day results one you had??
I would think you might want to be aware of it, just in case.
Either way, we hope you will be feeling better soon!

Kalia. I think that’s very good advice. Cold seems to be breaking up some today and getting rid of a lot of mucus. Thank you.
 
Had to go see a periodontal and implant dentist to discuss the strength of my tooth/foundation for a crown.
Of course he suggested an implant for the long term.

But, my finances don't allow me to that at this time. I told him I'd be back after I won the lotto.
Got a chuckle out of him.......

Then to Costco where they had little small ramekins of creme brulee. I had to buy them.
I'm having one later.

It was a long nice sunny day.
 
This morning went on early walk around 6:30,didn't go far. The walk was around our apt complex once after I watered the plants/flowers in our community garden
My friend,Mary&I are going on our weekly'road trip', around 10 going to small plaza where she is returning items to Marshalls.Then we'll go to the Dollar Tree Store where I need to find birthday/anniv cards, wall calendars for 2022
I got an email early this morning from my close friend,Marcia asking if I could come over early this afternoon,take my 'buddy boy' Aker{pharoh hound} for a walk..I told her 'absolutely' it'll be the highlight of my week,a nice day to do it as well
 
Going to do some firewood splitting today. I have a gas splitter, but still it ends up being a lot of work moving large pieces around. My shoulder gave out using the splitting maul years ago! I like to get the wood done before November if possible. Some years we can have knee-deep snow by mid-November so I would rather not wait for that!
 
It was raining yesterday so I didn't attempt the tennis exercise. Last night I decided that instead of trying to do that I would relearn juggling three tennis balls. I tried with balled up socks and i definitely need some practice. Doing it on a soft lawn will give my leg a better chance to heal i am thinking. Of course I used to love it, so I am hoping to regain some of that coordination and fun back.
 
Yesterday was a full one. Made a pot of Carrot Cashew soup in the morning. DT with DH for miscellaneous supplies and stopped at a different grocery store. Found some things I don’t usually buy. Afternoon walk, out to dinner (that’s very rare) and walked home. Today I’ll be tidying up the fridge & maybe the freezer. I do a full sorting during in the semi-annual defrost when it’s below freezing and things can be set in the garage for a couple of hours. Taking the car to get the winter tires on today.
 
Staying home today. Currently watering the front yard, then will head to the back when I'm done here.
Have some clothes to fold on the couch waiting for me. It's only been 3 days lol.

May do some re-potting of some of the houseplants I just bought.
And, trying to decide what I want for dinner...I have to take it out of the freezer.
 
I also was at the Dentist today @dobielvr ..fortunately I was able to afford my treatment altho' it was much more than I was anticipating.. :rolleyes:

Had a very busy morning and early afternoon , literally driving from one venue ( meeting) to the dentist chair, then to yet another venue for another meeting...very surreal at times to be doing those completely different things all on top of each other literally one minute sitting in a chair at a serious meeting of minds, and then lying back literally a few minutes later in the dentist chair while she said.. this will just hurt for a second.. :oops:😆..then driving home with 30 mins to spare to change clothes and then out for a yet a different meeting.. and reams of paperwork to bring home, and transfer to PDF on my computer ...

Couldn't be bothered to cook much tonight ... just had Battered cod fillets..nothing more.. no veggies.. or chips.. 😃
 
We had a little bit of excitement today. Aidan started barking his fool head off. I always check when he does that. He was in front of the door to the basement. I stayed in the kitchen, and could hear a few slight sounds from the basement. I wasn't scared, but I was contemplating calling the police. I fixed Aidan and me some meatloaf (had to pick the onions out of his), and suddenly there was a very loud bang. Aidan went straight up in the air, and when he landed, he continued eating his dog food. I had already looked out all the windows to see if there was a car parked anywhere. No cars.

So I called Joe (my landlord and close *platonic* friend), and he right away said, "I was in the basement". He was checking the drains and to see if there was any water on the floor. He didn't call me because he didn't want to wake me up. We talked for about an hour.

Then I actually did some of what I'd been putting off: Ordered home heating oil for my husband, and paid a few of his bills for him. Last week, the oil was $2.60/gal, this week $2.85. I remember a time when it was over $4, so I'm glad it's still a low price.
 
I am back-tired. Got my Covid booster. Got Stella who pooped everywhere on the way home; cleaned it up; and she pooped again. The breeder lied-she said she would throw up in the car 🤦🏻‍♀️😳😂, and have a vet appointment in couple hours

Spend the afternoon wrestling with a hosta that is crowding the other plants.

About ready to get hubby & his backhoe to dig it ALL up......but septic tank is too close to it.

I did get one chunk out ,, haven't replanted it ,, yet.
Looking at all the fine roots,, better rake them up & toss over the bank.
If they grow the deer can have them.
