What are you doing today?

I went to the dentist this morning to have what was left of a broken tooth extracted. So far, so good. I was considering an implant to replace it but after reading about the procedure, I decided not to. It will be a bridge if anything, but the gap is far enough in the back not to be noticeable and I can still eat normally.

This morning I walked to the UPS drop off store to ship a package. Then stopped in the corner park and took some pictures. Now fixing breakfast. My neighbor's (who passed away recently) family is cleaning out her apartment now. Other than that it appears to be a quiet day here. When it is hot most people stay inside and quiet. It is 73 and to me that is hot but after seeing the temps others are living with I am not complaining. After I eat I will be making more keto chow shakes for ice cream for the next few days. Need ice cream when it is hot!

How soon will you get a new neighbour, Kat ? is it a fast turn over ?
 
I'd say good morning boys and girls, but it's already 2:30 in the afternoon! I worked an extra hour today because I had a silly notion that I'd be caught up and ready to start from the beginning tomorrow. Pfffft. As if!

I swear that there are people in the corporate office who stay up nights thinking of more things that we "need" to do every day. It sure does slow us up. Today? Put a little sticker on every box of croissants that says "Heat Me Up" with instructions on how to do that. What?:ROFLMAO:

It's supposed to start raining here in an hour or two so I'm not gonna turn on the sprinkler. If the weathernerds are lying (again), I'll turn it on around 5ish so the flowers don't die of thirst (water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink!).

Not fast. They have to redo both apartments. One apartment in next to mine and he is working on that one right now. The other one is across the hall and the family has to get her things out by the end of this month. Then there will be an empty one downstairs but don't think the tenant has moved completely out yet. It takes awhile. They completely clean, paint, fix everything and most of the time re-carpet.
 
Monday I spilled a little coffee onto my keyboard. :eek: I quickly mopped it up and immediately turned the keyboard upside down and tapped on the back of it for all the good that did. I checked to see if I could type, but no go, nada. Then I had the bright idea to put a small fan I had face down on the keyboard and turned it on high, hoping to dry it out. I left it there for a couple of hours, but it didn't help. 🥴

Yesterday morning I took it into the shop and left it there, hoping it could be repaired. After checking it out, the tech said I need a new keyboard. Whew. I'm relieved that it's only going to cost $140.00 for the new keyboard. He also said that he had to order the new keyboard and that it'd take a week to be delivered.

A week without my computer didn't make me happy, so I asked if he had a loaner I could use because I have some business I need to take care of. He said he didn't have a computer to lend, but he offered to lend me a keyboard! :)

This morning I watered the azaleas and my gardens because the forecasted thunderstorm and torrential rain they called for last night never happened. Then I weeded my herb garden, had breakfast, picked up my loaner keyboard, and stopped by the pharmacy. I rarely buy candy, but I treated myself to two Intense Dark Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars. They'll last awhile because I only eat a square or two at a time. When I got home, I whipped up a batch of soaked oatmeal that needed to sit overnight. I'll add baking powder and eggs to it tomorrow morning, then bake it, and I'll have a very yummy breakfast! 😊 When it cools, the rest will be cut into squares and quickly frozen on a cookie sheet. Then they're stored in containers for future breakfasts. It's nice to have it on hand for a quick heat and eat breakfast.

Now I'm thinking about the endless question, "What's for dinner?" I really don't feel like cooking, it's too freaking hot. Thankfully, I have already prepared a salad. It's about 4:30 pm, so I have time to make up my mind about what else to have with it. :unsure:

Tonight I'll probably watch a movie or catch up on a couple of TV series. 📺

When I need a new computer I'm not going to buy another HP. I think I'm going with Apple. Everyone I know who has one likes it. 😉

I think you would really like Apple Mac.
My desk one is Apple, same as Holly’s……I think it’s about 12 years old…..have only had an issue a couple of times, Apple took care of it on line, talk about amazing.
Also have a Mac Air book…..Mac Pro lap top…..Apple Pro IPad, 12.9”…….BUT……my phone is a Samsung, i HATE iPhones.
Apple does all updates, free, no hassles with me trying to do the impossible.
HAPPY CAMPER with my Apple stuff.
 
Today I helped my farmer neighbor get his bailing machine ready for action. Actually, what I really did was stand around drinking a beer and handing him tools when he needed them.

He just bought a brand new John Deere tractor with an enclosed cab, air ride seat, air condx and entertainment system. He's like a kid with a new toy. Going to start mowing hay later today and it will likely take him three days to finish. Then the grass has to dry and then comes the bailing and hauling it all into the barn.

Makes me really glad that I never caught the farming bug. Summers working on my Grandparents dairy farm taught me some good lessons....including don't be a farmer.
 
went for a bike ride today.it was hot but nice,stopped at the country club and begged for water (actually just asked) the lady running the snack bar gave me a cup of water with ice .she was so nice.i was sweaty had shorts and t shirt and an old baseball cap.not one bad look from anyone.

I totally agree about Apple... My desktop Mac is only 2 years old.. and it has a 27 inch screen. It was one of the last to roll off the conveyor belt of it's model, before Apple stopped making this screen size.. ..I do have an Iphone.. ever since my last Blackberry years ago.. I've had Iphones, simply because my husband has everything apple, and he gets a new IPhone every 2 years..so it was easier for me to have an IPhone , so if it went wrong he would fix it easily, being the more techy minded one.. .
 
Unplanned .....living in a new state, new home, new car, new everything.......still unpacking, still adjusting, still in shock, still everything.

Meeting "myself" where I'm at every morning I wake up.....this must be where I'm supposed to be right now.

Pulling out all my "strength" reserves.....keep on keepin' on.🏞️
 
@Kaila It did rain! It rained buckets! Yay. I was just about to turn the sprinkler on when the heavens opened up. After about an hour, the sun came out while it was still raining. I know that means a rainbow follows, but by then I was too tired to get off my dead center and go out to have a look. I'm sure it was there, though.
 
Our daughter-in-law tested negative today so she picked up the baby from us. We loved having him to ourselves for a week, but are also happy to have a break. I did some grocery shopping and house cleaning, then we picked up our niece and her BFF from the airport. We're onto the adventure of hosting two teenage girls this week. I can hear them laughing and playing in the pool as I write this.

Ah, youth! Such a sweet time of life.
 
I went to the dentist today and had 6 lower front teeth ground down to nubs and temporary veneers put on. The permanent ones should arrive in 3 weeks, but I'm happy even with the temporaries vs. my original teeth. The procedure took over 1 1/2 hours, but I listened to music through my Airpods throughout the whole procedure.
