What are you doing today?

[dobielvr]

an update, I started to watch Dateline last night with Andrea Case.The story was about a guy who owned alot of snakes,don't like them. I switched channels 10 min later

That was hard to watch! With all those snakes.

I somehow fell asleep, and missed it.

Happy weekend to all!
Happy that you were pain free this morning Jackie, hope it continues.
Had my hair cut and permed yesterday, look 20 years younger!
It is slowly getting warmer each day, can't wait for Spring so that I
can go out in my wheelchair.
Enjoying a glass of sherry before lunch!

Hi, I am new...and what I am doing this weekend is REALLY boring! I am working on our taxes, a sinful thing I must do every year. I see many of you are having a ton more fun than I. I will be back to life by Monday, Lord and my CPA welling...

Had cataract eye surgery on Thursday and now have a new lens inserted which allows me to watch tv without glasses. Everything went very smoothly and even though you are awake during the process, it was smooth sailing all the way.

I had both of my eyes done over 8 years ago. I still can see better without glasses then I have since I was 8 years old, when I started wearing glasses. I just love and am amazed at this new technology. My late father has both eye cataracts removed when he was 27. So, he had to wear really thick glasses for the rest of his life. He could not play baseball with me or do many things he like to do. But it was better than being blind. We are so lucky...

Welcome Timewise... many people on here in the US are often spending their day doing taxes... not me thankfully...

Holly, I see you just retired, Congrats! I used to work for an international company, and I flew into Heathrow many times making connections. Additionally, one of the people I worked with was English and lived in London. But, with all of this going on, I never was able to go into London or anywhere in England which I really wanted to do. My wife and I are hoping to visit there soon, but still waiting for the Covid mess to go away!

Oh how 24 hours can change how it feels outside. It went from almost 70 degree weather yesterday to now in the 20's and going to snow today. I am doing nothing but relaxing and watching a movie or tow today.

My neighbor just came over to say that he is thinking of moving.....I am thinking of ways to prevent that.

I will bake a cake and tell him no more cake, I don't deliver.

I notice that you have used a photo of me, in your post, Mizmo.
I don't mind, because I look so great in that pic.

But you must be an impressive computer whiz, to have somehow transferred it from my computer photo files, into your post, here.

That sounds very smart of you.
And, it might work!

It would work if it were me; I would reverse my decision and stay put, if you told me that!

Today I RETIRED. woot woot!!

My work access was removed early in the morning before I logged on, which I'd known was possible so I worked until 2 AM last night to get tasks finished up. I was glad to get my last day totally off (though part of the day I spent packing up my laptops etc and taking them to FedEx to ship back), but it was disappointing to not get to send a goodbye email to my teammates (though now that I think of it, I probably would have wasted time stressing over the wording).

I did telephone into the morning meeting to say goodbye that way. My teammates wished me a happy retirement but the manager expressed happiness for me getting to "resign". Although I've worked a long career and gotten old and started Social Security, my manager could not call my leaving "retirement" because I've only worked at this particular company for six years, and the company definition of retirement requires having worked there 10 years. Seems that if a manager were to wish me a happy "retirement" they might cause the company to be legally required to vest me in my pitiful 3 shares of stock that were part of my bonus. The company may keep their $291, I spent the rest of the year's FSA money today so we are even!

It was weird emotionally when I went to bring in the empty trash can (today was trash pickup day) to not feel the usual pressure to hurry back to my office in case anyone needed me. A couple times I've wandered in and out of that room. It is so naked without my work laptops.

....I'm so happy for you!

I had a great time at the roller rink today! The private party, in the morning, didn't need the snack bar to be open, so I got to skate! Yea for me!

After that party, the owners of the rink bought us pizzas.

During the public session in the afternoon, I did my usual thing....worked in the snack bar. I love this because all of the "regulars" come over to visit with me....it's a great bunch of people!

Our neighborhood has Movie Nights outside (since Covid) where we all get together, catch up and watch a movie. The last one we had was in Fall of last year so I've been missing them big time.

We had one tonight. It was in the low 70's outside... an absolutely beautiful evening. There were about 15 of us and we watched Young Frankenstein on the big screen with popcorn and drinks in our folding chairs. I haven't seen this movie since I was a teenager and we were all howling. A good time was had by all and we welcomed a new couple who have recently moved into the neighborhood.

I've said it before. I live in an absolute dream of a neighborhood where we all look out for each other and I feel so lucky.

 

[Geezer Garage]

What a great choice of movie. One of my all-time favorites. Everyone in it was just amazing.

I had forgotten how funny Marty Feldman was as Igor. Just hilarious!

Today being Sunday means the laundry room might not be busy so I will do some laundry. While that is in the machine I want to take some empty boxes out of my storage locker to the dumpster. After that probably some household chores. After that I will probably read or watch a movie. Nothing too big today.

 

[horseless carriage]

I had forgotten how funny Marty Feldman was as Igor. Just hilarious!

Did you know that Marty suffered from thyroid disease and developed Graves' ophthalmopathy, causing his eyes to protrude and become misaligned. A childhood injury, a car crash, a boating accident, and reconstructive eye surgery may also have contributed to his appearance.

One of the funniest quips that he came out with was on a chat show where he said:
"God made me in his own image and likeness." He then added. "Ugly old so & so, is God!"

Going to shred paperwork today. And this will likely take a good chunk out of the day. I am known for procrastination.

The last time I took care of this chore was two years ago, still had the camp trailer, built a campfire and voila! no need to shred....it made quite the blaze.

Maybe I should buy another camper?
