Oh that's so sad, I'm sorry Trila...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.![]()
Ty....but it's ok. Like I said, I've been expecting this for over almost a year.Oh that's so sad, I'm sorry Trila...![]()
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.I dislike early appointments, I always try and get them for the PM
That's nice that you got to do some outdoor work today, I imagine.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 ..![]()
Sorry to hear about your friend, Trila.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.

Thank you!Sorry to hear about your friend, Trila.
I pray her passing is peaceful.
Good for you!!! The way I see it, you've reached a stage in your life where you have earned the luxury of a little continuance!!! Enjoy!!!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!
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
....snow just started by me.I ran around yesterday and accomplished little, so today I will do a little loafing. It's snowing, perfect excuse.
Move south with me! I do get snow (like right now), but I don't ever have to shovel it!!!! We can go out and make snow angels!DREAMING for SPRING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till then.
SHOVELLING SNOW......did that yesterday to keep things cleared all day......did that just before i turned in last nite.
Getting caught up today.......to get ready for more snow tomorrow.
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've been to the dentist this morning....hour in the chair and £200 from my purse.. .... 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...
.... 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...![]()
