Today was sunny and warm 14 deg .. so as it's been dry for several days now, and it's forecast to rain tomorrow and over the weekend, I chose today to mow the lawns front and back.
I don't usually have to mow as early as March, but we've had a lot of rain this last month and the grass was too long...and I hate that, I like it to look neat and healthy... so I set the mower on number 6, so it didn't cause the lawn to get too flat...

I bought a little handheld edge trimmer from Amazon at the end of last summer, and I've only used it once. Went to use it today and it won't take a charge, I'm really annoyed, because obviously I've had it too long to return it..



Later today , I took the giant bag of pork sausages I bought at Costco yesterday , and separated them into individual bags of 4 or 5, and froze them so it would be much easier than dealing with a catering bag ...

Got the dentist early tomorrow morning, I dislike early appointments, I always try and get them for the PM, not because I get up late but because I am not a morning person.. I need the morning to take my time to get my brain in gear ... and to make matters worse I also have an early appointment on Sunday to get my new specs fitted ... can't believe I have 2 earlies in the space of 2 days and especially as it's forecast to rain both days, and both of them are in different towns than my own .. :rolleyes::p
 
(I wrote this on Tue morning...and forgot to hit the "send" button!!!! Good grief sometimes I'm so ditsy that I even surprise myself!!!! Better late, I guess.)

We had tornadoes in the area last night. Very windy, but I think that is all.

I'm just finishing up with breakfast, then later, I will be off to spend the day with my Mom. She wants a new washing machine....and she needs someone to go with her to pick it out. This way, later when she decides that the new machine is "no good", she can blame me. (sigh) Other than that, I'm expecting to enjoy our day together! 💖
 

Yesterday, I got a text to let me know that my friend was put in hospice, under comfort care. 😢 It was expected. Last January she was given 6-8 weeks to live. She hung on for much longer than her doctor's thought she would.

I went to see her today. She is on so much pain med (morphine?) that all she does is sleep. I was told that if/when she wakes up, she is confused and doesn't know anyone. I was glad to see that she was comfortable...and hope that the end is peaceful for her. 😢

Neither do I. Had one at 8:15 this morning, the fourth in a series of early ones. When the receptionist gave me the next series in six months, they were even earlier. I asked her to change them and she begrudgingly did. It seems now in so many places you are assigned an appointment, no discussion if it works for you.
Did some shopping afterwards. The only things open were grocery stores and coffee shops. I would like to have shopped but it was too early to wait for them to open. I did buy a 10 kg bag of flour. It gets stored in my late MIL’s flour bin that must have been designed for 100 lbs.
Will walk this afternoon. Now it’s time to divide a large package of ground beef and plan dinner.

That's nice that you got to do some outdoor work today, I imagine.:)
That's challenging having the 2 early appointments, and one as soon after the other, I agree with that!

Sorry to hear about your friend, Trila.
I pray her passing is peaceful.
 
I had an appointment today with my new opthalmologist to discuss cataract surgery. He said it’s time so the first one was scheduled in about two weeks. Just before I left for the appointment my dog, a Pomeranian, hurt herself getting down from my chair. She whined and cried and didn’t want me to touch her so I was afraid she might have a fracture but she is somewhat of a diva when she gets even a tiny hurt. She seemed better when I got back home and wanted to eat so I feel maybe it was a sprain. I will take her to the vet in the morning just to be sure.
 
Well, it is only 12:30 AM, on Friday and already had an adventure. My niece lives about an hour away, but owns rental property here in Batavia...a mile or so from me.
So, she had to evict the tenant..for various reasons, including hoarding (like the TV show), not letting her in the house for yearly inspection. Etc. (with 48 hour notice) . The tenant was due out, officially 30 minutes ago. SO, Julie asked a HUGE favor of me...would I do a drive by after midnight to make sure they were gone.
I am often up anyway, so what the heck. ***cue Mission Impossible theme*** Drove by, no cars, no window treatments. Hallway lights on, but rooms I saw appeared empty. So, texted Julie to that effect,

My work here is done. LOL
 
On my short early walk this morning around 6:30,I heard a robin singing always a good sign that spring is coming soon,temp was 30
My weekly 'road trip' with friend,Mary today we're going to Office Depot/Max, I'm looking for a new desk chair. My old one which is leather, had since 2011, I can no longer sit in it
The rest of my day take another walk before the rain/snow mix arrives this afternoon,read NYT/local paper,tonight watch 'Dateline' at 9pm on NBC

It's 10 am on a Friday... just like yesterday or the day before or the day before that... but wait!
TODAY some excitement! I am having a gas insert placed into my wood burning fireplace. I'm sure "we" have many opinions here about what is better to burn but I am soooooo looking forward to not having to storing wood, chopping my own kindling, tracking wood chips, dirt and critters into my living room! With the cost of $150-250 per cord of wood here I am bowing down to the convenience of clicking a button and presto... clean fire and warmth for the damp winter here on the NW Pacific coast!

😅😃😂
 
I've been to the dentist this morning....hour in the chair and £200 from my purse.. ..:oops:.. then because my dentist is in a different town, they're within a 3 minute driving distance from the Nail salon , so I had my nails done while I was over there.. £30... :oops:.... went to the pub to have coffee, but it was absolutely packed out at 1pm on a Friday... no idea why it was so full today, so I gave it a miss . The rain had started by this time, so I popped into the supermarket just to pick up some little extras for the store cupboard.. another £42.... ...and I didn't even get milk...

I think I'll stay home until next week... my purse is sobbing...:ROFLMAO:

But you have accomplished so much!!!! I'm proud of you! I've been up for almost 4 hours, and so far I've had my coffee, made breakfast, and read a few posts.....I'm soooo lazy!
 
I'm running away from home today!
These dogs (2) I've been watching are raising my blood pressure.

The older one keeps urinating in my home, even after I've left the door open. And, the younger ones eats so fast, then she spits it up afterwards. I'm constantly walking around looking at my floors to make sure I haven't missed anything.

Cleaning up w/vinegar. Thank goodness I have laminate floors, and not carpet. But, I'm still worried about the odor.
I put them outside to sleep last night. I don't think I'll be doing this dog sitting thing anymore....

It's going to be a beautiful day today, so that should brighten my mood.:D
