Quiet normal day ... NOW
After my early morning time on the computer, I did a few chores.

Came back later to get on the Internet, and got a very strange message:
YOUR INTERNET SERVICE HAS BEEN ATTACKED OR HAS BEEN RECONFIGURED - UNSAFE FOR USE

Well, dear lordy be! .. Never saw anything like that before .
... I figured from the get- go it wouldn't be a quick fix. Called AT&T, talked to three different people, and an hour later got set up for an appointment with a technician.

Lucky it's Friday, and they want to get home early for the weekend. 😁 ...he came proto! He checked their equipment in my apartment twice! / and then went to look at their outside and phone room equipment.

Seems someone in one of these buildings moved, and put in a stop service order for today .... So they came out, and pulled the plug on ME!
That is all that strange message meant. Weird.
 
Don't bother me. It looks like the bluebird of happiness🐦 crapped :poop: on my birthday cake🎂 and I'm busily engaged in wallowing in self pity, dammit. It's not really my birthday because, yanno, I was coerced into "celebrating" on Tuesday. Why? Well. It wasn't convenient for anybody in the family. Guess what? DSIL who "had" to work tonight? He's off today. DGD only works until 7:30 tonight. DGS is available to present himself whenever. DD works from home except on Friday mornings.

And DS? He said he had a feeling all day that he was forgetting something🤔 although he'd been reminding himself all week.

If this is what it's like to get a year older...pfffft.

After work this morning I had to go to the new job for half of the orientation. Two hours, for which I get paid. The other half, plus some training is on Tuesday morning. If the lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, as we used to say in Texas, they won't have scheduled me to work until Dec 1 because I still have to work at the biscuit store until the 27th and have doctor's appointments on the 29th and 30th. They know my last day at the biscuit store is the 27th and that I have appointments on the 29th and 30th. Surely they won't schedule me to work for them, too.

I'm tired and depressed and sad😥 and I'm gonna toss the birthday cake 🎂 because that darned bird🐦 pooped:poop: on it.
 
Took my sweet 16 year old Maltese Sophie to the cardiologist today. She's in congestive heart failure and was coughing two nights ago and I was worried about worsening heart disease. The result? Whatever was causing her coughing, it wasn't her heart. The heart size is stable and her lungs are clear. Best news ever!

Did Sophie just have the episode of coughing that one night?
Has she stopped doing it?
Thinking of both you and her.
 
I spent 3 hours as a Room Angel at the DeGolyer House, which is a historic estate at the Dallas Arboretum. It is now completely decorated for Christmas.

It utilized the best skills of my previous career. Learning and memorizing facts and presenting. It was not only socially gratifying, it felt like I was working again. Very fulfilling.

 
Today I am still working on going through photos. I have a lot of them.

Have to transfer some hay to the dumpster because it came from a local farm and has molded. So not giving it to Rabbit. Instead I ordered from Pet Select on Amazon and got that yesterday so we are set.

Other than that, don't know what else I will be doing. Nothing planned really.
 
After yesterdays' busy day, I was going to return a blouse I bought but decided to stay home and get some food prep and batch cooking done instead... it was a grey day anyway.

Managed to freeze 4 pounds of chicken thighs in single portions... and 3 pounds of gammon and bacon pieces again in separate portions..


Used some of the gammon and bacon to make a big pot of Bacon & lentil soup. Added, Cabbage, Carrots, Sugar snap peas, Lentils, Chickpeas, Carrots.. and shredded the cooked gammon and added that.

I've frozen half that amount of soup.. and will use the rest for dinner tonight and tomorrow..

Did some reorganising of the food store in the Barn...

Managed to get the local council issue sorted to my satisfaction finally, that I'd been having a problem with..thank the lord for that.. (y)
I had to google gammon because I had never heard of it before.
 
For anyone else who doesn't know the difference between Bacon/Gammon and Ham

The OED defines ham as:


The thigh of a slaughtered animal, used for food; spec. that of a hog salted and dried in smoke or otherwise; also, the meat so prepared.


It defines gammon as:


The bottom piece of a side or flitch of bacon, including the hind leg. In later use also: a smoked or cured ham.


It defines bacon as:


The back and sides of the pig, ‘cured’ by salting, drying, etc. Formerly also the fresh flesh now called pork.


In Britain there is a street-wisdom about when to describe meat as ham, as bacon or gammon. Ham is usually bought ready-cooked. Gammon usually comes as a joint, bacon in slices.
 
I used to work in a "smoke house" where we smoked hams and bacon over hickory logs...loved that job....sitting here today trying to figure out if I've been a bad boy, cause so many "things" are bothering me today....tiniitus is driving my ears nuts....arthritis of course is starting it winter time wake up, and I
suddenly developed an "itch" across my chest which creams
seem not to stop....crazy day....ah well....:confused:

for the itch you might want to try an OTC allergy pill ( antihistamine) like Piriton..
 
I got up around 1:45 a.m. and sorted my laundry. I went down to the laundry room at 2:30. Once again I had to remove someone's clothes from the double loader (only one I use) because they just left them there...second Saturday a.m. in a row. I had a snack and did a couple of financial things. I have to split the clothes into two loads in my dryer after which I will try to be good and actually put them all away today.

I plan to do some dusting, straightening up, catching up on T.V. shows, catching up with posts here and on FB, as well as working on a couple of songs today. I'm sure at some point I'm going to have to take a nap. I'm hoping my grandson or a good friend will take me to see my dear friend Hunter perform tonight at a restaurant/supper club venue.
 
My daughter made a delicious pot roast last night. My goal at the moment is to not eat all the leftovers for breakfast.

Other than that, I am reading Janet Evanovich's latest book, and still spring cleaning the kitchen and my bedroom, and doing some laundry. I hope to finish one of those rooms today. Tomorrow I am finally getting my flu and Covid booster shots. I couldn't sign up for them without my insurance cards (even though the booster is free) because my purse disappeared. I finally found it where the dog had hidden it.

I am hoping I don't procrastinate about some of this stuff.
 
Today I'm wondering what I did wrong. My daughter was yelling at me because I don't want to go to her MIL's for Thanksgiving dinner. We usually share all the holidays together. This year I am having some medical issues and would just prefer to stay home. Plus the fact that some of them haven't gotten the vaccination. They always loved the Wedding soup I would make and I am still sending it to them. His mother never sent leftovers to her kids she would just throw the food away in the garbage except for the soup. I guess I am a B^^^ch.

No you're not a B**tch.

You have every right to stay away from people who haven't been vaccinated especially if you've been unwell... your daughter is being selfish to think otherwise, don't be upset by it, it sounds like there might be some other reason behind her anger..
 
They sent a referral to cardiology, and my primary care doctor, of course. I refused pain meds, don’t like them. I am hoping the chest pain today just goes away. I am not interested in a bunch more tests, or hospitalization. I am not a person who wants to live into her 90’s or even 80’s. Doctors often can’t pen down what causes angina. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The d-dimer finding and extreme pain is just another mystery in my medical history.

I am wondering how you are doing. 💐

I know her husband is complaining about us not wanting to go. He told her it was because we didn't like his Mom and sister. If I didn't like them then why would we have spent every Holiday together since my daughter married him? People are crazy.

This sounds very unfair to you!

No one should be upset with you for avoiding un-vaccinated people during a pandemic, all trapped inside and at close quarters. Not to mention you're feeling unwell.

It'll blow over.
