Today my new chair will be delivered between 11 and 2 so I am getting the space ready for it. Other than that I am finally doing laundry and I have a large load this time. Plus taking the bunny cage all apart and doing a deep cleaning of it. That is it for today. Now coffee.....
 

It's sunny..🌞 just been in the garden and despite it being just 48 degrees it feels warm in the sun.

Got a few usual chores done this morning, and now I'm just having a cuppa tea before leaving for a podiatrist appointment.

I may get my car washed while I'm out...just washed it last week at the jet wash but now it's got pigeon poop on it.. again... so it needs washing again

Thanks Diva. Today is operation day plus two and I am progressing well.
In another 2 days I will be transferred to a lovely rehab hospital for 2 weeks of physio in the heated pool and the small gymnasium.

I'm glad to read that you are doing well my friend. Being in that heated pool should be real nice! Best of blessings for speedy healing and ultimate proof that the surgery was successful.

Actually, except for my normal everyday headache, I had a good day. My daughter and Granddaughter came over for dinner. My daughter brought her favorite movie over and we watched it after dinner. She loved the movie Grease from the first time she saw it. When she got married I bought her all her favorite movies DVDs . So we watched it together. She remembered when her Dad took her out to lunch and surprised her that he had arranged for Frankie Avalon to meet them there and have lunch with them. My Husband knew one of his managers. She played this part over and over again.

"She remembered when her Dad took her out to lunch and surprised her that he had arranged for Frankie Avalon to meet them there and have lunch with them." Wow..that was a great surprise gift! I bet she was over the moon. I hope your headaches will subside. I used to get them (though not daily) when I was young. When I was in my 20s, one was so bad it felt like someone was stabbing me in the head and it went on for days until my mother got a doctor to do a home visit. He gave me a shot and it finally went away. I wouldn't wish chronic headaches on anyone.
 
On my early walk around 6:30 temp was 40 went to buy USA Today
I plan to take a mid morning walk, hopefully another one in afternoon,read NYT/local paper
At 5pm my church friend,Ardrey is picking me up ,we're stopping at local grocery store to pick up our pre ordered 'fish dinners' for 9 other people. Then we are going to another church member,Earl's house for dinner.He's invited his next door neighbor to join us,should be a fun evening
 
YESTERDAY:

I ran around like a chicken without its' head looking for birthday gifts, donating more to Goodwill, picking up birthday cake and the list goes on and on. I got home after a few hours and just couldn't do more as I was exhausted.

Ooops, forgot to mention that I went to a neighboring city that has a famous company that makes tamales of all kinds. I bought a dozen of them. We both decided not to go out to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday.

Cake hasn't been touched... yet! o_O

And while out shopping, I bought myself two pairs of pants and a blouse. I did the, 'One for you. One for me. Two for you. Two for me stunt. LOL :ROFLMAO: 😯😧:oops:

Thank you. There is an upside, though. I get to help myself to the give-away table at the senior center where I pick up the meals. This week I got a loaf of Italian bread, 2 packages of thin spaghetti, lots of yogurt, a can of whole kernel corn, a can of spaghetti sauce, a package of rice cakes, 2 boxes of rice-a-roni, lots of apples and oranges, 2 bags of lettuce /salad greens, a wad of pizza dough and several packages of pre-made sandwiches.

I had a spinal tap when I was 15ys old. I had to lay flat for hours and I did but since then I get constant headaches. I was 15yrs old many many many years ago
 
It's a beautiful sunny day, a bit windy. Went out to pick up some stuff; will watch The View and then Young & Restless and then I am taking a book to the neighborhood park, find a spot directly in the sun & read.

Must rest up for tomorrow; my son & grandson coming over :love:
 
I think I've recovered from my jet lag. So today has started out a bit better than the previous two days. I was up at 7:00a, out the door by 8:00a and on my way to the grocery store, the farmers market for produce, the pharmacy and then the gasoline station. And I walked the dog (actually, she walks me 😄). In a short while, I'll change the bed linens, fold the clothes that are in the dryer, do some general tidying up and pay some bills. This evening, my S/O will be over for dinner (he usually cooks but tonight I'll do it) and then we'll relax by either playing cards, sitting outside looking for shooting stars or, if it's too chilly, stay indoors and watch something on TV.

Thank you all for your kind words. I don't think that place would work. OK inside but needed work and probably too big.

This is another place for sale in the same park. Smaller, newer but expensive. My agent is out of town and had another agent show me this last place. The young woman was very nice. I want to see if my agent is back Monday or if that woman can show me this other place if it's still available. I'd have to make an offer under asking.
 
I'm so tired that I don't even know where to put myself. Or...as my daddy used to crudely say, I don't know whether to sh!t or go blind. Yeah. That tired.

I work hard five days a week, but for some reason today's work seemed harder than usual. Not to mention that our supervisor came in at 11:30, although as early as 7:00am he started saying he'd be in "in a few minutes." He said it every time somebody texted or called him. I didn't do either because I know better. If he says he'll be in in a few minutes, I know not to expect him anytime soon! And he came in, as they say, armed for bear. What?

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's a generational thing, but is checking your attitude at the door no longer the thing to do?

oh jeez this has stopped being fun now for you ... working like a dog, and having supervisor who works part-time and then dares to come in with an attitude while an 80 year old 🦸‍♀️ is working her tail off...... how much longer do you need to stay to achieve your financial goal ?..
 
Well what a gloriously unexpected sunny and warm day it turned out to be and it wasn't even forecast to be so....

Went to the Podiatrist..I should take that up as a living .. £45 for 10 minutes...:oops: I could have done what she did myself.. and do... what a waste of 10 minutes and £45 quid, and the petrol to get there..

Anyway .. I took myself off in the blazing sun to the park and lake and had a stroll around.. and took some pics.. then to the Mall, and to TK Maxx and bought myself some birthday gifts..for next week.... Gorgeous lambs leather shoulder bag, and 2 pairs of trainers.. all in the Easter sale.. the whole lot came to just over £70..(y). I'll be good and not use them until it's my birthday.. :LOL:


past 7pm now and the sun is just starting to go in.... forecast is for showers over the weekend so I didn't bother with the jet wash..

Sounds like a wonderful day for you. And I love that you treated yourself to some birthday gifts. I do the same, for my birthday and for Christmas. I love handbags, especially soft lambs leather ones. You scored a wonderful deal on your shoulder bag and 2 prs of trainers! I was in TK Maxx a few times last week when I was in Dublin. I should have looked at the handbags....what was wrong with me :oops:? I had found some nice jewelry to give my nieces for Christmas (yes, I'm that person who is always on the lookout for holiday gifts) so I was focused on that.

Wear all of your gifts in good health. And early Happy Birthday.

Prolly til I die! I was so steamed when I left at noon that I didn't even say "Bye." Just clocked out and waltzed out the door. Tomorrow he'll be all apologetic and contrite. Pfffft :mad:

BTW, it's okay to use your birthday gifts before your birthday as long as you're in your birthday month! 🎂🎁🎁

well no, this is the first year I've not had my husband to buy gifts for me, so it's a bit of a sober moment for me... just trying to come to terms with things, so I thought I'd cheer myself up
