Been out in the garden which is sunny and warm.. brushing down the spiders webs.. emptying the containers which are water logged after the rains the last few days...changing over the full fly catcher for a new one..

Checked the Barn humidity level and after last nights' rain it had risen significantly to 74 %.. good level is between 40 % and 60 %... so I turned the De-humidifier on.. and within 20 minutes had brought the level down to 57 %.. so that excellent , it means I can keep a good eye on that , because I have a freezer and a food store in there as well as tools etc..
 

Daughter is coming to visit at the weekend... it's a pity that the forecast is for Rain both Saturday and Sunday, because she's got a fairly long drive, and she hasn't been here since Last Christmas day.....

I've got a Zoom meeting at 3.30pm.. today..and my Parcel ETA is not until between 5pm and 9pm.. I don't like opening the door in the dark, and it gets dark soon after 6pm

ETA..just had a further ETA on my Amazon delivery...between 7pm and 10pm... that's just ridiculous!!:oops:

Today is a blessed day of much needed farmer's rain and relaxing. Son & wife have been here from Ohio for the last few days - they are at a couple clients meetings today, back tonight and flying home tomorrow. Chaotic, but mostly enjoyable - now its time to go back to "normal" for a while, hopefully.
Can tell I'm getting older, that's for sure.

Cat sitting here with me on the desk chair, listening to the tinkle of the rain outside.
So appreciate the lovely daily joys.
 
Today I might take a short walk outside since I have to go out to the dumpster anyway. I am waiting for it to warm up a bit before doing that. It is 45 right now, which isn't too bad. I am cooking breakfast right now. So after that. Then have a few projects I am working on besides normal daily household chores. Keeping my feet up as much as I can as they got swelled up more the last couple of days since I did more walking and standing.

yes my husband remodelled our bathroom himself... New Electric shower.. new flooring, whole new bathroom tiles floor to ceiling.. new sink and vanity unit with drawers, he even made the bath panel himself,.. cost a fraction of my daughters' bathroom.. but then she had to pay labour charges to builders, and installers

The end result is that your daughter has a beautiful new bathroom. May she enjoy it in the best of health for many years to come.

@IrisSenior, I sure hope they didn't bring any to your place. :eek:

Two of your brothers plus a sister were living in a one bedroom condo? Those must have been tight quarters.

Other posters have mentioned Canada's generous financial support of seniors who need to go into AL or other assisted housing. I hope you're able to find something quickly.

p.s. You're a good sister and your daughter is a good niece. 💜

Yes we are looking at assisted living, never in a million years did I think I would be the one taking care of them. I am the only sibling left to do this and daughter has always been great!

You have endless caring and a heart that never quits…..you are a blessing to your siblings…..and they in return I’m sure are endlessly great full.
But……please take care of yourself through all this.
 
The extra activity today was…..taking my serger and my oldest sewing machine…..for big checkups and servicing.
Once done, I may not have to do this again for a very long time.
They are all Pfaff, quality was expensive…..but…..you get what you pay for.
My second Pfaff sewing machine didn’t need anything right now.
Very lucky theres someone in town that still does this, has been for many, many years.
Just one of the things I wanted to get down before moving…..I do give them cleaning, and oil them regularly…..it was time for the professional.
Can’t live without my Pfaff machines.😀😃😄.
 
Even though I'm retired, I "have to" do certain things every day. Recently I decided to take Mondays off.

It's interesting to observe what I do on these Mondays. Stay in my pajamas, find questions for the trivia game, and do some puttering that isn't exactly housework. Make frequent trips to the balcony, and lounge in the gravity chair if it's warm enough.

Today is Monday!

Thanks, I've made mistake after mistake after mistake. I just don't know what to do. I'm afraid to move. I have no one in my real life to discuss it with me or go with me. I'm just alone in my mess.

Wish I had some advice for you. Going and looking won’t hurt. If nothing else, it gives you info and something to compare it too later.
If you’re really interested ask for comparable sales, maintenance costs, etc.

Oh, anxiety sucks. I live with it. I understand the paralysis. I have a long list of mistakes also. I can’t speak for what is best for another, but, if it were me, I would check it out. I would also feel very afraid.♥️ Should you decide to move towards this, sf people will offer you support. You have friends here.
