What are you doing today?

Other than my morning cleaning chores…..since it was not the nicest day out, cold, misty rain, windy, I passed on doing outside stuff.
So…..I got all the sold items checked, and loaded in my vehicle for the delivery tomorrow, 40 minutes away……packed full, no room for anything else…..cleaned three more storage bins for the this order as well……did you hear what I said !!!!!……I sound like I’m running a business……starting to feel that way.
 
I thought I’d pop in and say “hi”. I am still alive, barely. Am going to post an explanation in medical.

Stella is fine and has become my husband’s dog.

My oldest son has Covid, again. Worst this time unfortunately. He got it while on a business trip. His SO just got over her second Covid infection, worst than before as well, and he only saw her one weekend, in 3 weeks, before his trip due to her illness. It is really sad as she was so careful not to expose him. Now he is very ill. He is on medication; and cannot see her again, till he is well.

In between these two infections, my middle son also got Covid for the second time, but his infection remained mild. As before, a staff member in the group home brought the infection in and all the clients got sick.

So what I did earlier today? Got my fifth Covid shot. Very sore arm as usual, otherwise no ill effects.

You know, @hollydolly, I had to mull over what you said but I realized fall decorations haven’t been a big thing in most places I’ve lived (S California, Uostate New York). I guess we southerners are so happy to see the cooler, non-humid weather arrive we feel like celebrating.

I think I might go out and find some Autumn decorations, and pretty up the house for a few weeks..:D

We are doing just that, we have been putting a few shekels away for a while to finance having the house painted, it has a rendered surface, the roof tiles will be steam cleaned, the drive tidied and the interior decorated and we will replace the curtains too.

Can you tell that we are preparing to sell? This is a big property, five bedrooms, two with en-suite, the entrance hall is bigger than the dining room in our previous house, we have a galleried landing, a massive loft, it was wonderful when we moved in twenty-five years ago, but now climbing the stairs is like the conquest of Everest, we are getting old, time to admit it, time for a single storey bungalow, sad though, I love this house.

Yes your house sounds beautiful.. but as you say that's all very well when you have your health and strength.. A bungalow all on one floor .. will be so much easier and faster to clean and to get around .. .

My daughter recently bought a Bungalow. She's fit enough and could manage stairs herself without any problems , but she'd rather not, she's used to all one floor in her Mountain Casa in Spain, and her dogs are elderly so she doesn't want stairs for them.. and because she works full time, she finds it so much quicker to clean the house than if it had more than one floor..
 
Must be medical day today... :unsure: just had a call from my Consultants' office at the hospital.. they've given me an appoitnment for the 29 of November .. then I had an email from the NHS reminding me that the Covid Vaccination is now due for this winter.. so I've just booked that because th nearest walk in centre is now in the next county.. whereas last time.. we had many to choose from locally.. so I was able to book one with my local pharmacy who don't do walk ins..

Just changed the bed.. and got the washing machine on now... . Put my new coverless duvet on the bed...

So HAPPY to hear from you……miss you very much.
So sorry your family members have taken I’ll with Covid. Hope they get well soon.
Your road is a rough one.

Well I've just been cleaning the top of the kitchen cupboards. I don't know why they get greasy when I have an extractor hood.. but they do ...

I've just discovered to my absolute astonishment that if I use multi purpose Pledge on my mirrors and on the windows and glass items, it doesn't streak..OMG!!😃 I have spent years trying every window and glass cleaner on the market and never found anything that doesn't leave some kind of streaks or haze.. and here it was in my cupboard all the time, masquerading as Furniture Polish..:eek:

all my mirrors now are streak free.. yeaaah.. means I can go around everywhere now with just one Can of spray.. use it on furniture and glass

..so excited... it's sad..lol.

Good morning!

I had a "bad shoulder" day, yesterday...it happens. I finally got the pain to stop -well, mostly stop -around 4 pm. Other than that, my day was ok. I watched some tv, read my book, did very little PT (too painful), and in the evening I even went for a walk.

We have been watching a tv show called Eureka, streaming for free. There are 5 seasons, and we just started the 4th one. On Sun, it will no longer be free. 😠. We don't usually binge watch tv, but in this case we are trying to see as many as possible, before Sunday. I refuse to be pressured into upgrading my streaming channel! Tomorrow we will be at the rink all day, so most likely today will be our last chance to squeeze in a few more episodes.

My internet seams to be kicking in & out more often than usual lately, I'm guessing that they are upgrading somewhere. As long as I get it for a while each day, I'm ok with that. I just don't like when it's out all day and into the next! Hey! I just had a thought....maybe whatever they are working on will improve my service!

That's all I have for now. Hopefully, I'll be back later to catch up with everyone...have a good day!

Good luck, I hope you get all the answers
 

What are you doing today?​


Consoling a neighbour who spent 7 hours in a queue in London to see our Queens coffin, only for her to pass out and have to be brought back home.
She is now watching it on TV and swigging the multi cups of tea I'm providing.
I reckon we see more on TV than the crowds in London do, and we do it from the comfort of our own homes.

Do you think I'd be spoiling her by giving her a bowl of ice cream. 😊
 
I hate this answer: 'I don't know.'
I can't be in more than one place at a time, but I have time-consuming errands I need to do, but also various reasons I should be here.

I'd prefer to do the errands today, as it's the last day the city buses are running on one of their free promotions. But I also need to be alert to incoming work projects (on PC), expecting important mail, and not knowing when maintenance guys will show up.
When I don't have a basic plan for a day, I feel like I'm spinning around in circles.

So lovely to hear from you .. hope you stay around, as, have missed you! Sorry to hear about Covid affecting your family :(

I hope Stella is happy with being your husband's dog .. and, vice-versa.

She is happy. He spoils her rotten whereas I make her behave 😂. Of course, when I speak she minds, when he gives her a command she looks for a treat. But I believe the relationship is good for my husband which makes it good for me.

My son is on Paxlovid for Covid because of his heart issues. His SO was not given medication and neither was my middle son even though he is so disabled, but his case was very mild.
 
Did a lot of jobs on my list this morning. Cleaned my coffeemaker, did laundry, threw out empty boxes that were in my storage locker, took trash out to the dumpster and now getting ready to clean my bunny's cage. Oh yeah, made breakfast and even squeezed in a shower. My friend dropped by earlier to tell me her bathtub is now officially a shower! So happy about that it took a lot to get this done.
