In spite of feeling like death warmed up. we had to go shopping this morning. Not only have Mrs. and I literally caught a cold, but our ancient dishwasher packed up. Off to the electrical appliance shop where we discovered that reasonably priced machines were in fact, "cheap and cheerful", while decent looking machines were eye-wateringly expensive.
A new machine is being delivered on Thursday so till then it's wash the dishes by hand.

No dishwasher here either.. however my DD who also lives alone like her Mama.. and creates very little washing up, would never be without a dishwasher.. she would go without food first... :ROFLMAO:

There's no time. The treatment is sugar, and FAST. I always keep Coke & apple juice on hand. Liquids work the best, not food.

Do you keep a can/bottle of coke right beside your bed. In an emergency like that, I could swallow warm coke.

Remember, you must never make that shrew downstairs happy. Stay well, please.

As we speak there's a tuna casserole in the oven. Comfort food because it's a really yucky, rainy, foggy, dreary day. I even put crushed potato chips on top just like Mom used to do. She also put sliced hard-boiled eggs in it...🤮...but I didn't. Ew. DGD doesn't like peas.

Now I want tuna casserole. I’d forgotten about the hard-boiled eggs addition; my mother did that too. She also did the potato chip topping. Very exotic. No peas in my casserole either, if I ever get it made.
 
Well, it has been a rough few days of not feeling well. Just the normal migraine thing. I had groceries delivered last night but I am still not able to focus on cooking a proper meal. Think I will go down to the local chicken place and get a veggie plate.

I did finally manage a shower, I still have a shower chair from when my Mom was here. I put it in the shower just in case, did just sit awhile letting the hot water rain down on my head. It really helped with the muscle tension. Why did I not think of this before beats me.

I hope your migraine problems get better. Muscle 💪 tension is something I have a lot of too, in my neck and upper back. I sure would love to get a good massage. There is a place near me that used to do healing massages but I lost their phone number. It costs more than I can afford on a regular basis. I would like to find a place that does massage and takes my insurance. Sometimes Chiropractors have that service too. I'll look into that next year.
 
Took my car in for repairs. Ends up it needs several things. They told me the repairs would make the car safe and last maybe a few more years.

I only agreed to the repairs because I can't afford to buy a better car at this point . The repairs are higher than I imagined but if the car will do what they say I figure it's okay and worth it.

Shopped early this morning and got lots of good produce. I'm going to get back to eating healthier with veggies and a little fruit 🍑 and some soups.

Took doggie outside in her red sweater and we walked a bit. My hip started bothering me so we came back in. I have to start again doing some stretching.

I have had professional massage and accupuncture. They do offer some relief but it doesn't last long. Like you say, it is expensive!! I do have a hand held massage thing my friend got me years ago. It helps and I can use it anytime I want. Just another tip, sometimes I wet a hand towel in the microwave, heat it up, then place it across my shoulders. If you try it just be careful, don't get it to hot, you don't want to get a burn.
 
Finished up all the maintenance on the backhoe, and installed five new LED work lights. Three up front, and two in the rear. Got to use them tonight clearing the neighbors driveway, so I could get the big trailer out. It hadn't been plowed this year at all, and the county did a great job totally burying the big metal gate. Moved what I could with the machine and had to dig out all the paced in snow I couldn't reach by hand. It got dark before I got to plow the main part of the drive, so switched on the new lights, and it looked like the mother ship had landed. We got 10"'s yesterday, and more coming the next two days, but no complaints here, as more water is always a good thing.

Did they find what made the car lock up while turning in reverse?
 
Wound up doing light cleaning Tuesday, we took Deja to the vet for her last distemper shot, finally got all caught up with The Rookie episodes. I used Chase's online meeting scheduler to set up an appointment for my son and me on the 17th and spoke with someone in the timeshare maintenance fee department about my 2024 payment schedule (I pre-pay and just finished paying for 2023). I was intending to call because they owe me a credit but she called me, which probably saved me some wait time. I had conversations with my BFF and another good friend. Literally fell asleep at the computer while I was intending to post Tuesday's activities late Tuesday evening. 😴😴 It's a little after midnight now.
