Had my hair cut this morning. I shower and wash it before I go and then come home and shower again. I hate being itchy all day.

Talked to my daughter who’s in Scotland for a wedding. She’s with her SO and his parent. All three have Covid. Don’t think she can get back into Canada without quarantining for ten days. She needs to be back at work because she has a firm deadline. At least at home, she would have been able to work from her house. She said Covid is running rampant there. It’s bad enough being ill, let alone in someone else’s home. What a nightmare.
 

Still doing nothing. Loading, unloading & placing the 50 blocks that weigh about 25 lbs. each plus the two bales of top soil that were 3 cubic feet each & weigh a lot, best guess around 100lbs. each bale. I'm thinking that work out must have been more than this old body wanted to deal with. Still need 18 more cubic feet of top soil.:( Going to need a few more days of nothing but the 3 miles walks in the park before finishing that planter project. The good news is my wife is pampering me :D

OMG what a nightmare indeed. Poor daughter .... I had no idea Covid had raised it's ugly head again so high in Scotland... what will she do, can she afford to stay somewhere until she gets the all clear to travel.. ? ..or did you say the whole 3 of them are ill in someone else's home ? :eek:
 
The past few days I was stressing about money, inflation, politics, but the sun has come out this afternoon and I'm feeling more positive. Also helped that I looked at condo costs in a very small city in Nebraska and they are affordable enough that even with real estate prices and inflation I would be able to live there (tho would much rather not, pretty crummy looking really, but my main goal was to calm my fears about becoming homeless in the future so I could look forward to selling my house and traveling).

I am continuing to chip away at cleaning out my house full of stuff. I had already mixed my first cat's ashes into the flower garden and today I threw away her favorite little toy and shook her locks of fur out in the wind to return to the earth somewhere. Can't believe how sad it made me since she died 24 years ago and many other beloved cats (house and barn) have come and gone in those decades. Probably made more poignant because I'm still working my way through photo albums getting the pictures uploaded, and there were pics of her and of the apartment I was living in when I was in my mid-twenties and she, as a young stray cat, followed me home (took a while before she would stay, originally she was more fond of the water dish than me, due to the arid environment).
 
Good heavens! I slept until 6:30. Today's going to be visit-the-garden-centers day. Um. visit-the-garden-centers morning. If some flowers follow me home, they'll get planted. If not? I'll just sit on my como se llama and admire the ones that are blooming in the garden.

First of all, I've gotta jump in the shower and get dressed and tidy up The Hovel.

awwww Mizmo.. I wish I knew what to say, but just know we're here for you and thinking of what you're going through and wishing you everything you wish for yourself . 💐🌺
 
I drove over to the next county this morning to go to the dedicated frozen food store, because I couldn't get any frozen veggies from the regular supermarket the other day..the freezers were completely empty.... .. Fortunately the freezer shop was well stocked with veggies.. so I bought enough to stock up my freezer..

I also wanted to look at a new lamp which is on the website of another store nearby but I prefered to to see it in situ and up close, cuz I couldn't really make my mind up.. but when I saw it, I just thought it looked far too big & Blingy to go into my livingroom, so I'm pleased I didn't order it online.

I did buy a Jasmine Climber ..and once I'd put the shopping away I went straight out and planted it into a medium size pot in the garden, close to where I have the established Clematis...

It's another gloriously sunny & warm day today.🌼🌞. but rain is expected tomorrow, so I wanted to get the jasmine in before then..

8:32am PDT now so about 2 hours away from blood tests getting poked filling tubes while much more dreaded is 3 hours away from doctors sticking a large needle into the back of my pelvis bone for a bone marrow biopsy. Supposedly just using a local anesthetic that have read can still be painfully unpleasant. Last diagnostic tests for my polycythemia vera condition. Wahhhhhhh!
