What are you doing today?

[hollydolly]

Y'know what I have done today? I sat on my backside and done bugga all! Watched YT videos, read the news, sent emails...went out with the dog into the garden. I ate fruit followed by chocolate, followed by a glass of wine. I haven't even been out on my walk (raining all day). There is a bum shaped dent in the sofa. I am not ashamed.

that's what Sundays are made for...

It sounds like a good day to me!

You have brought back such great memories!!!! I used to love watching my birds take a bath!! I haven't had a bird in a long, long time.....I sure do miss them!

Aww I love that you love birds too! I'll try and get a photo of him....he is buried in his feed dish at the moment. He picks out certain seeds that he likes and chucks out the rest He doesn't like fruit but loves his veggies. Currently throwing around a broccoli floret....busy little bird

When did Peacock become subscription only ($5 mo.)? Was looking forward to watching new Jurassic Park (2.5 hrs) today complete with popcorn! Had Peacock since the beginning and it was always free.

We have a free Peacock on our ROKU.....and there is a "premium" option. Right now, I'm watching a free show that has 5 seasons. I'm on season 3, and there is a little tiny notification that says it is moving to "premium" one week from today. No way that I'll be able to finish in time, but I refuse to be pressured into upgrading!!!!

More memories....more laughs!!!! Thank you! Oh, and I would love to see his (her?) picture!

By the way, I have never lost my love of birds, that is why I spoil my chickens like I do!

P.S. I just went back to look at the bath pix again....it really is a good pix!

Since I've broken my wrist, a woman named Maisie has been filling in for me, in the snack bar at the roller rink.

Fri night Maisie fell (twice!) and hurt her wrist. Yesterday she went to get it X-rayed. Guess what. Yep...it's broke!!! Fortunately for her, it's only a hairline fracture, but still!!! She is only 19 (?) years old I feel bad for her.

Welp, today I'm continuing my attempt at destroying paperwork from file cab....it has been 3 days I think since I
put a big batch of it in a 5gal bucket with water and bleach...now I have just now punched holes in the lid (forgot to do that ahead of time), and I've turned the bucket over to
drain all that water/bleach...after a few more days will dump
the junk in the trash barrel...then will have one more load to
do...however I've decided it is too much work for my crooked
back and this will be the last time....ah well...lessons learned
the hard way when u have a bad back......

 

[Sassycakes]

Today I am worried sick about my husband. We found out he has Covid19. We both were fully vaccinated, but I guess this strain is new. Please say prayers for my husband.

I just got tested and I have the Covid 19 also.

 

[Sliverfox]

Washed & dried our bedding today.
Laundry is done for awhile.

Muggy with occasional rain today.

 

[Sliverfox]

@ Trila & Hollow ,,my mother had canaries when I was growing up.
Than when I was teen, she had parakeets.

We had chickens & turkeys when the boys were growing up.
Plus parakeets, cockatiels.

Its no wonder that our oldest son now has a cockatoo.

 

[Chet]

Light rain and overcast. Just trying to stay awake.

..and I am jealous as h*ll.
I have this little food cupboard ( Ikea specialty) in kitchen which I mainly keep for tinned , boxed stock up.
Couple of weeks ago on top shelf I saw this teeny weeny black thing scuttling around so immediately emptied everything out and did a thorough soap and bleach job on it. Well this morning...there was another little monster and now I am wondering where they are coming from.
It is not close to my main cupboard area.
Tins and boxes all sealed and couple of jars with lids crewed tight.
So I have spent past few hours off and on as my body permits, doin clean up again.

anyone tell me how to get rid of these little bggrs forever ...

please and thank you

Wandered around an art festival and then had lunch at a brewery, sitting by a mountain stream sipping on a craft beer (grapefruit undertones with a hint of berries).

A gray and rainy day here but that's okay. The first hint of Autumn is in the air. Temperatures are dropping just a bit and the rain has restored the once-yellow lawns back to lush green. In a few days when the rain has moved on, I'll need to pull some weeds that have popped up.

I've done some cooking today to freeze for future dinners. S/O and I are thinking of a vacation next year so I did some research on that, too. I mentioned in earlier posts that I had officially retired a while back but then I took on some scientific editing work. That is finished now as of last Friday so I think I really am retired now. My focus is going to be on selling things and the dreaded decluttering. I've been working on both but need to step up my game. No more excuses.

I've also been working, perhaps too much, on my personal budget looking at a number of "what if" scenarios. Honestly, it's driving me a bit nuts. Trying to predict the future is impossible....what interest rates will be, how future administrations will impact taxes and the stock market, what house maintenance will cost, how my health will be and so much more. So I've put it away for now.

DD and I went Walmarting this morning. This afternoon we waltzed off to And That! (Christmas Tree Shop in other parts of the country). I bought her a new autumn decoration for her front door and bought two new kitchen towels for me.

Now I have to go to the "What Have You Bought..." thread and fess up

 

[Georgiagranny]

What I didn't do today...I didn't breathe air conditioned air! Or yesterday or the day before, either. On Thursday afternoon it was sort of cool-ish so I turned off the a/c and opened the windows and lowered the glass on the screen door. At bedtime, though, it was a bit warm for sleeping so turned it back on. Turned it off again on Friday, and it hasn't been on since. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. If there's anything I can appreciate, it's "real" air.

Our temps for the next week or so are forecast in the low 80s during the day and...blessed be!...in the upper 50s at night. If the lord's willing and the creeks don't rise (as we used to say in Texas), I won't have to turn the a/c back on again this season. That would be heavenly.

That reminds me: the a/c cover that I had for years gave up the ghost when I took it off in the spring, and I need to buy a new cover. I'll get right on it...

I have been buying either Cheesy Cauliflower Grits with Shrimp from Sprouts or Shrimp Paella from Snap Kitchen. I love them as snacks, mostly at night. I add more shrimp that I buy from Central Market.
0 minutes?
We just had a new restaurant called Piada (Italian Street Food) open near us. We ate there on Wednesday. I had the Pasta Carbonara with chicken.

I was thinking what a shame it was that they didn't offer shrimp. So, today I bought herb grilled shrimp at Central Market, then picked up the Diavolo Pasta at Piada and mixed them together. I'm in heaven!

Then I had a 90-minute massage. First time in a couple of months. We went through power outages early in the week, so this was therapy.

90 minutes??????
Was that a misprint?
If it wasn't, then how did you get yourself up afterwards?

I would also be curious.... is 90 minutes at one session, better, worse, or the same, as 3 appointments, for 30 minutes each, let's say about 2 weeks apart???

 

[Kaila]

@Sassycakes
I am very sorry to hear that your husband has Covid, and that you also then, have it. Try to take the best care of yourselves as possible, and let us know how you are both doing!
We will be thinking of you!

Yeah, we are both full blown gear heads. That Pontiac though...... what a brutal fast machine, and as racers, I don't make that comment lightly. Our yard was always kinda interesting.

I have a membership to Massage Envy and I keep racking up credits. I needed to use them. I canceled the membership when I was first let go in 2020, then decided it was one of the best things I could do for myself. Now I have the time as well.

In a 90-minute massage, my therapist does shoulders, back, legs and arms... first laying on my back, then laying on my stomach. It's worth it!

Husband & I walked in the park this morning. Weather has cooled off and we needed to wear jeans and sweaters. I’ve been washing up summer clothes and storing them in another closet for the winter. We may be involved in a garage sale so headed to the basement to sort through things. The better items I’ll attempt to sell online. Some will have to wait until we can determine prices. He’s had these thing sitting on top of the shelves since we moved here almost 18 years ago. I listed three items on FB. All sold immediately but two haven’t been picked up. I’m sure the one will be; the other fellow wanted me to deliver it. We’ll see. PITA for $15.

 

[Pappy]

Took a 30 minute walk this morning. Made a coffee for me and the misses. This afternoon I’m having a electrocardiograph at the VA to see how the old ticker is holding up. Later, who knows.

 

[Trila]

We are having our first cool morning of the season (52°F/11.1C), it looks like it will be a nice day....with fall just around the corner.

I'm not really sure what I'll be doing today....probably the same 'ol, same 'ol. Read, workout, etc. If there is no dew on the grass, I would like to get in some walking.

Since today is our anniversary, we are thinking of going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. It's very close by....so we don't need to drive all of the way into town. It's a newer place, and we have been there for Dio's b-day and one other time. The place is not fancy (not even close to being fancy!!!! ), but it's clean, the food is good, the portions are big, and it's not expensive. Plus, they have "Gringo Food" for Dio . He will probably get a hamburger , I'll have a Quesadilla.

 

[MickaC]

I just got tested and I have the Covid 19 also.

So sorry Sassycakes…..just when we thought things have eased up…..but not.
Take care, both of you….do what ever you need to do to get over it.
