What's on your agenda for today?

Wooo hoooo.... Tonight is my FINAL (hopefully) prosthodontic appointment! Pickin' up me new choppers... GAWD.... what a long haul. I've been running back and forth since September. Tonight is the unveiling of the finished product.!! Can't wait.
 

QS - Congrats on your new teeth! I agree that it seems to take such a long time to get dental work done but that seems to be the norm. It took about ten months or so for me to get one implant done but part of that was scheduling difficulties due to my spouse's ill health. Anyway, I hope I won't need any more implants!

AS - I believe you're right that in the US the term mostly used is "knock on wood" while actually knocking on something wooden. The different definitions of things between UK and USA is really so fun and interesting, like I remember my Brit Grampy talking about his car's bonnet.

Bonnet is one of the few words I will never say. I do say boot, petrol, etc. But bonnets are for babies!

QS congrats on your new teeth!
 

LOL AS well Bonnets are also an old fashioned name for babies hats here too, but the Bonnet of a car is the name for the front of the car ( as you so rightly said Kath) :)...a Hood is what people wear on their jackets to protect them from the rain.. :D I love the diversity of the English Language between different English speaking countries..

Thanks Annie for your thoughts about my back..it's playing up like heck tonight and it's quite uncomfortable to even sit..so I'm having to move verrry slowly...gotta go and do another 10 hours tomorrow at work so I just gotta keep fingers crossed that it won't go into spasm tonight....once I've had the OP I may come back to you and get some tips on the lower body strengthening techniques that you use..

Your bathroom sounds like it'll be really nice when it's finished...I do exactly the same thing with some of my photos..frame them in white wooden frames and hang them on the wall...some in colour some in Black and white..but not in the same room..

Georgia hope you had a good day and nothing too strenuous ..

Good luck QS...hope all goes well for you and everything is as good as you expect...:)

Hope your back behaves tomorrow. How long till surgery?
 
QS, by the time your dentist is done with you, you'll almost literally have a million-dollar smile:)

Hollydolly, from time to time I get a muscle spasm in my back, and no matter how hard I try not to, I find myself "favoring" (as we say in the South) my back. The harder I try not to, the worse it gets. But, dang! it's hard to just carry on. Anyway, I hope you'll take it easy tonight and be okay to work in the morning. I'll bet that as far as you're concerned, the next 11 days can't go by fast enough.

My day was okay, but I'm really just not feeling it anymore. I want to give up a couple of clients sooooo badly. Maybe after I've got the new tires and alignment and the a/c fixed, I'll be more comfortable with the loss of income. The ones I want to quit amount to about $600/month, and that's a lotta lettuce:) I'd keep the clients who live in our subdivision and the three clients who live just down the road a mile so I'd still have some walking-around money. Is "extra" money ever extra? LOL Giving up the ones I'm thinking of would mean I'd get a couple of days off each week, not so much time that I'd be bored, but enough that I could play in the garden or whatever all else kind of mischief I can think of to get into.
 
Up very early this morning. Hubby offered to drive our friends to the airport to catch their flight to Florida. So I told him I'd get up with him. He set the alarm for 5:30 but was up at 5:15. So I'll just catch an earlier bus to town for the gym since I'm up. It's been unusually crowded in the mornings and not just with pensioners. So it should be quieter at this time.

Finished painting the bathroom yesterday so I'll do the 'after' photos as soon as hubby hangs the pictures. He's much better at hanging several pictures evenly.
 
Good morning, kids, and happy Friday.

The weather isn't going to be very pleasant today, but Friday is a good day no matter what the weather:) Raining again but the sun should return on Sunday and the temps finally spring-like all next week. Into the 70s and sunny. Yay!

I'm off to clean *my* favorite dog's house today. Her people are nice, too.
 
Evening all..I'm literally on my last legs it's almost 9.45 here and I've only been back from work about an hour and a half, so it's been a verry long and very eventful tiring day and my back is killing me, I had to have the ice pack on at work for 15 minutes today and loads of PK's to get me through.. I am shattered, ..so bedtime is beckoning very soon..Hope you've all had a better day
 
Sorry it was a trying day for you, Hollydolly. Do you have to work tomorrow? I hope not!

I might have yet another dog sitting gig April 5/6/7/8, then home for one night and dog sitting again April 10/11. Whew! Yanno? I really, really need to get a life doing something besides making money. I mean, what good is it going to do me if I'm too tired to spend it anyway?
 
We finally got our half bathroom finished. Hard to get good pics as it's so small. Sorry we didn't get that window replaced when we got all the others done! Curtains may be a good idea.

Very pretty color AS, Nice redo. :) I used to do most everything around my place in blue, my daughter got to a point of rolling her eyes about it. This is the first time I only the bath and bedroom have mostly blue accessories. Blues are some of my favorite home color.
 
We are in Perth WA about 2700 Km from home on a bucket list trip. Planning on taking a train trip today down to Mandurah which is down the bottom of W.A
On our way home tomorrow, Two nights on the train ,don't arrive back in SA until Tuesday morning
 
Good morning. Warm and rainy again. Yesterday was a tad chilly, but we're back to warm now. The sun might, just might, come out tomorrow. This morning I'm going to make a trip to the garden center to get mulch while it's cheap and maybe some early spring bedding plants that can tolerate another frost or two.

What's everybody else up to? Hollydolly, I really, really hope you have a day off to nurse your aching back.

I really like the dark blue commode and sink AS. Very nice job. That bathroom is what we here call a 'powder room'.

Thanks but the blue toilet and sink is the old bathroom. We replaced it with white. I did love the colour but the toilet didn't work right any more and we couldn't just replace the toilet. The old sink also had separate hot and cold taps and the new one has mixer taps.
