What are you doing today?

Got up late. The melatonin increase really helps me sleep but I don't want to stop sleeping! :LOL: Had my coffee, took doggie out, talked to my counselor on the phone. I am now waiting on a delivery of Chinese food. I've had a taste for it for quite awhile but kept putting it off.

So today's the day! I didn't go with my usual place (because it's closed on Mondays) but a place I ordered from once before and it was good before. I hope it still is! I ordered Chicken Egg Food Yong, Crab Rangoon, Spring Rolls, Barbq spareribs, and Wonton Soup. I hope it's good. I bet it will be as they were good last time years ago.

Listening to music as usual. Music soothes the soul of the beast! And I can be a beast at times! :LOL::sneaky:
 

@hollydolly Et tu? Yanno, we could each do a different color (and sunglasses, of course). We definitely get some attention. Hey, maybe even on the evening news;)

Okay, then. I typed and printed my resignation letter. One sentence "...my last day will be Saturday, November 27..." It's dated, addressed to my manager, signed by me, and gonna be dropped off tomorrow.

Almost a paucity of info but I'm not feeling the need to explain myself or mention anything about accepting another job. It's not likely that they'll even ask.

@WheatenLover If there are Sally Beauty Supply stores near you, that's where I get it. The one I use is from BTZ and called Rock On Color Masque. The name of the color is Poppin Purple. If I'd leave it on long enough, it probably would be purple, but I only leave it on about five minutes to get the shade of blue I want.

@mellowyellow I don't think she will mind, when she eventually notices you switched. There are many, many reasons why one might do so, which she knows, and some people do. Perhaps you'd had a friend or relative who wanted you to go to the other for some reason. From my experiences, they rarely mind.
I hope you interact well with the different one, and that you like the switch. If not , they might let you switch back.

You were right Kaila, she was really nice and said I didn't need to feel disloyal. She also said my blood pressure was sky high and I have to monitor it at home for 2 weeks and take the results back to her, I can see those 'old people pills' coming my way in the near future. My other doctor would take it 5 times and wrote down the lowest number so I've escaped them so far.

Blood pressure pills can be for anyone at any age. I take them but not for Regular high blood pressure.
 
Awww @Trila, I'm so sorry. We had chickens when I was a kid, and I'd always have a favorite. When they'd die, I'd be heartbroken and insist on having a funeral for them.

Today? Well. Today is my non-birthday dinner with the family. I'm not particularly pleased because I really don't like "celebrating" a birthday in advance. If we were doing it after my birthday, even that would be acceptable but barely.

What's got my nose out of joint is that the rest of the family birthdays are celebrated on the day of, and this isn't the first time mine is kind of an afterthought. Actually, this time it's kind of a prethought. Their reason is that "nobody" can make it on my actual birthday because of work schedules. DGD's work schedule is pretty flexible and can be worked around; DSIL is the general manager at his job, and he's the one who makes the schedule so he can schedule himself off or schedule his workday around a specified time. DGS is flexible and can be available whenever; DD works from home so her schedule is flexible as well.

Add to the above that all the years I worked for a German company in the US and worked for a German company in Germany, and their superstition that it's bad luck to give birthday wishes/celebrate ahead of the birthday, and it makes me squirrely...although I'm not particularly superstitious otherwise. It's just something that was planted in my head all those years ago.

Silly, I know, and I feel like I'm being petty, but it really annoys me. Maybe I'm just getting thin-skinned in my "eld".

I've been trying to deal with a local government office all morning, talk about bang my head against a brick wall..:cautious:...they want money from me that not only isn't owed but was paid to them over a month ago in advance.. but they're not recognising it because it was paid by my husband ( same surname).. but from his account and not mine.. How BL**55y ridiculous :mad:..still not got it resolved, they were supposed to call me back but it's close to 2pm now, and they all stop working around now.. *sigh*.. It makes me mad because I've never been in arrears with anything, and this is going to make me look technically on paper as in arrears...
 
Not much, will try to get a walk in. Yesterday I tried to do a home workout but it hurt a bit more than I expected. I see the Dr Thursday, new cast, hopefully smaller. Will talk with him about exercising, and what might be safe.

LOL, so far I am lucky my only ones are meloxicam an anti-inflammatory for arthritis. Off them now until hand heals, will be happy to get back on!
 
Today I smell a baking binge coming over me. Next week is Thanksiving and still haven't decided what desserts to have. Any suggestions for something new and unusual?

@moviequeen1 and @Aneeda72 Not so re the flu shot! Some say wait, but it isn't really necessary. I got the booster one day and the flu shot the next. The only reason for not on the same day was that I got the booster from Walgreen's because my Medicare is with Kaiser, and Kaiser didn't yet have the boosters. I got the flu shot next day at Kaiser. According to Kaiser, there's no reason to wait unless you want to be sure that you don't have a reaction to either one. It would make for two sore arms! Since I've never had a reaction to the flu shot, no problem. I had no reaction from the Covid vaccine, either. And had no reaction to either one when I got them one day apart.

I suppose different medical professionals have different opinions. What’s true for one is not true for another. The only thing that matters is you get both vaccines.
