@hawkdon Multivitamins. I read just yesterday and also saw it on the news...a years' long study showed that 60% of people who took a daily multivitamin showed improved cognition and brain function. Yup. That's what "they" said. Um. Aren't improved cognition and brain function the same thing?

so when they visit your home to check for trip hazards, they'll tell you not to have rugs which are easily tripped over , tell you to ensure your indoor shoes /slippers are in good condition and not have slippery soles, tell you to ensure you have good lighting around your home, tell you to have an extra step up to your back or front door.. and all those things which are common sense.. What they won't address is why you trip over nothing at all.. why you just fall forward or backwards for no reason at all.. for that your doctor should be sending you to see a specialist 🤗

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.

Thanks for popping in, I've missed you. Hugs to you and your family! 💗
 
I went to see The Woman King. It was epic!

Afterwards, I went to the dry cleaners to pick up/drop off. There was a homeless woman sitting right outside. The woman at the dry cleaners told me she is constantly there and she feels so sorry for her. As I was leaving, I handed her a $10 bill and told her that even though she hadn't asked for anything I wanted to help her. Her voice was so sweet when she thanked me. I guessed her for maybe being in her 40's but looking so much older. I am so fortunate, and there are so many others who are not.
 
Participating in a local garage sale with a friend tomorrow. Spent a good part of the day with DH going through boxes. Tossed lots of stuff, especially the stuff that we didn’t even recognize. Workshops things seem to reproduce. There’s a ton more but we don’t have a very big table. I’m not looking forward to getting up really early. It’s predicted to be cold. Hope it doesn’t rain.
 
Today we are having a late breakfast, then we are off to an afternoon charity bbq come garden party. It starts at two, I have no idea when it ends. It is being held at the home of one of our dance friend's neighbours. Our friends have pressed ganged as many of our other dance friends as possible to make up the numbers and raise as much as possible for good causes. Looks like good weather too.

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.

For most all my windows, mirrors, I use water with vinegar……unless I’m doing quick jobs, will use windex.

Not long back from Costco... first drove to a town about 25 miles north to see if I could get a few Autumn ornaments for the house.. nothing.. tried several places.. Nope...only kids Halloween stuff.. but if I;d wanted Christmas things I could have filled my boots.. and everyone elses boots.. because the stores.. more than 3 months before Christmas are jam packed . Absolutely ridiculous!! 😫

Then to Costco .. absolutely jam packed.. It's usually busy on a Saturday of course, but I'd forgotten everywhere is closing ( including Hospital procedures cancelled.. ).. for the Queen's funeral on Monday.. so whenever there's a holiday Monday people go mad shopping as tho' we're going to shut for a month..

First thing I see when I walk in .. Christmas Stuff.. ....

The sun is shining.. it's September.. still 6 weeks until Halloween.. yet no Halloween stuff, no autumn stuff.. Just Christmas..
 
Welp...no day off tomorrow or the next day or the next or the next or the next or the next or....

Supervisor's dad is in at-home hospice care. Schedule says he'll be off all week, and he'd told me that he'd be gone on very short or no notice. Looks like his dad must have either died or is close to death. I don't know for sure because nobody tells me anything.

When the schedule was made, I was supposed to be off tomorrow and Thursday. The newbie who works from 2-6 in the bakery is scheduled off tomorrow, Monday and Thursday. Wut wo.

So...I'm it for tomorrow 6-12, working Monday and Thursday just three hours 6-9, and the crazy schedule is altogether crazy with me there 6-12 Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and apparently for the rest of my natural life because next weekend is inventory weekend when I'm always scheduled to work. Might as well just take a cot over there and spend the nights. Sigh.

Monday and Thursday I'm only going in to make croissants and fill the shelves. You know, those shelves that have to be stocked by 9 am. Those shelves. After 9 am, I guess the bakery will just be closed for the rest of the day.

And...DD's dryer died. DGD got home last night after a week's travel for work and is off again tomorrow morning for another week's travel, just long enough to get her laundry done except that the dryer died this morning. She took it to a laundry that will do the washing/drying/folding, and they were nice. Imagine. When she said she needed it today, they said it wouldn't be a problem and would call her in about two hours. There really are people who work in unskilled jobs who don't get mad when asked for special favors.

DD ordered a new dryer that's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. That's what they said. Tomorrow.
