What are you doing today?

Stella keeps me busy, busy, busy. (My husband does nothing in the apartment, nothing unless nagged to death.) And there are somethings I just can not do, so as usual the care of Stella is left up to me which is fine. The days past usually past quickly and I am kept very busy.

As I was cleaning her litter box last night, excited cause she is finally pooping in it, hmm, seems it takes very little to excite me. 😂. I realized the best thing about having a pet, any pet, is they keep you involved in life.

Ordering her winter jackets, toys, and other things that she needs and does not need, worrying over her eating and not eating, monitoring her peeing and pooping, training her to be a decent dog who won’t embarrass me in public, combing her hair, taking her for walks, playing with her.

OMG, I am not a dog owner, I am a new mom. Now how come I didn’t get a baby shower? 😉

Headed to the hospital for surgery this morning. Otherwise she is healing.

They have to reset the left wrist with screws and a plate. Also will put a pin in her right ring finger...

Turns out her right wrist was not broken, just badly sprained.

I think she will fully recover, it just takes time. Thanks for asking.

Every time something bad happened in my life, what kept me focused was having to care for my critters. No matter what, I could not crawl into bed and cover my head and cry......they needed me.

I think Stella is a very fortunate dog to have you.
 
Laundry done and waiting to be folded, bulbs and seeds planted, lawn watered. Oh, and a whale of a lot of leaves were raked. I'm bushed. It took four hours of hard work to get the garden taken care of.

Now I'm gonna fold and put away the laundry and maybe take a short nap. Or maybe skip the nap and play solitaire on the laptop.

Poor, poor me. I was going to do some yard work too, but the dribble started and now everything is wet. I did go into town for cappuccino and a 4 mile walk in the park this morning. The rain started just as we got home. I guess I'll be forced to stay in and read; play on my tablet; watch tv; etc.

If you run out of fun stuff to do, there's always housework ;)

Housework is like when you spill something on the kitchen floor and throw a rag on top so you can do a foot mop. Or when you drag out the vacuum and only vacuum the paths where you walk in the house. Then there's that thing called dusting. I don't have much experience with that.

Sounds like you know more about this stuff than I do....maybe you should come here and demonstrate.

You are very fortunate and obviously have great taste in men, while I have not. I got my usual from my husband for my birthday, nothing. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My husband has always been a good person; too kind and generous towards everyone. His co-workers miss him and call him all the time. He always worked extra to help others take some time off. I could go on and on.

Well, we decided we would take the plunge today and get me a new cell phone. We were at Best Buy for what seemed to be HOURS. I was getting tired and had had nothing to eat. But, hubby wanted to get me my birthday present.

We succeeded in purchasing a new phone, a Samsung. It took like an hour or so to transfer all of the data from old phone to new phone. I couldn't remember passwords, etc. I was just not in the mood to be surrounded by people; I still don't feel safe ~ even with my mask on. I've become a recluse, folks! I am not kidding you. Hubby wanted to take me out to eat too and I said ~ NO. lol

New phone looks complicated and is asking for passwords for everything. I'll rest up today and do the password thingy tomorrow.

Earlier today, I had a text from one particular nephew; he was 'scolding' us for still living here. I finally told him that what we did was our choice; not his. I was very upset with him for being so insincere with me. It's our life, for crying out loud. We would have to rent if and when we moved; we did check into that last time we were there and it is very costly. The pandemic has not helped matters in looking at towns closer to home either. And finally, I see too many specialists (which my hometown does not have). It would be a little over 100 miles to the closest Oncologist, et al.

Then,................................. I heard from my precious Eddy (the one with the football injuries); he made me cry and smile. Tears of happiness though. He said he loved me a couple of times.

@Aneeda72 , having these nephews, nieces, g-nephews and g-nieces is all I need to make me happy. Remember, I had no children of my own. And I love my family dearly, including my stinking husband.

We picked up some BBQ sandwiches; they were delish or I was half starved.

@Aneeda72 , I will pray for you. I can only hope and pray that things get better for you and your marriage. I don't think any marriage is perfect (JUST MY OPINION); we have to work at it.

HUGS to you, @Aneeda72 🥰

@PamfromTx you can find all your passwords on your computer if you use Chrome--go to Settings and do a search for passwords in the search box. It will bring up your passwords to all the sites you use. That's what I did when I got my new phone last week. But I did access them with my computer and then put them into my sites on my phone.

Wife made it through surgery just fine. Everything took longer than it was supposed to, so a long day, but all worked out in the end.

Now for the recovery. She has, and will for a while have very limited use of her hands. I am learning to take care of her, and keep up the household. Bit of a learning experience, folding clothes, washing dishes, etc. is turning out to be more work than I had imagined...

Happy your wife's surgery went well.
The saying goes......Women's work is never done.
Now you get to know what that may mean.
I'm sure you'll do fine.
