What are you doing today?

I just do not understand how they can go days without elevator access, when there are many there of limited mobility. I would think the city would put a stop to that. If there is an emergency how is everyone supposed to be evacuated? Has anyone filed a complaint with the city or county, all the residents need to have access to a working elevator.
It is not owned by the city. In an emergency you are not allowed to use the elevator anyway. Have to go to the stairwell and the firemen will assist us. That is what they tell us when we move in. But like I said before, if they replace the elevator it would take weeks of work and construction. So we would have to go that long with no elevator. It is a HUD building and there may be a regulation in their paperwork somewhere about the elevator.
 

I'm awake.

"Warm" this morning. It's 31 and with the help of the sunshine the temp is gonna soar up to 45.

Laundry today. While it's swishing, I'm gonna make scones so that they'll be ready when @Mizmo and @hollydolly get here✈️🛷🚙🐎

Yesterday afternoon's plans were to go to Barnes & Noble so DGD could buy books with her gift card and so that I could buy a particular calendar that I want, but she decided she'd rather get another tattoo. She goes back to the office today, so B&N has been put off until maybe the weekend 😡 when it's more to her liking. Dammit. It's not more to my liking, but it's not like I can walk over there, and the calendar that I want isn't available on Amazon.

Sometimes I resent the fact that she can't (won't) drive so that when there's something I want/need to do is limited by what she wants to do. I'm just gonna pout.

Is it spring yet?
 
Had to make a difficult choice. Had to tell my grandson's parents I couldn't guarantee whether I could watch my grandson today due to how sick I felt yesterday.. I'm feeling real sad, indecisive and guilty. I've always felt responsible for being sick, like it's my fault somehow and I'm letting myself and others down, and maybe I'm only imagining I'm sick........playing that card once almost cost me my life.

So......I'm depressed. Also jealous, a terrible thing. I'm jealous the other grandparents now have him an extra day, all due to my fault of being an irresponsible grandparent. I hang my head in shame, I really do. Why can't I learn from all my mistakes. It's too late? I'll never learn, I fear.

I'll have Emmenthaler with my whine, thank you.

Don't fret over it, think back to when we were young and our minds would change in a blink of an eye. She is not doing it on purpose to hurt, she does know how much it means to you. Maybe after she gets done with the tatoo (which by the way I hate) try to find some way to tell her how disappointed you were about the outing that was planned. If we do not tell them the truth they will not learn to think about other's feelings.
 
I didn't mop the floors like I swore I would yesterday...ergo why I prefer to post what I did at the end of the day. Usually I only wind up doing half of what I intend to do. Anyway, I cleaned the litter box, made my prayers, Swiffered and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors before sunrise. I found better places to store merchandise we bought in bulk. I'm going to attempt to clean Deja's ears today. It's amazing..when she's at the vet she doesn't squirm or make a sound no matter what they're doing to her, even when she got her shots. At home, it's a different story. 😸 Don't know if I'll do anything else taxing but I do have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. I'll take an Uber (or Lyft) there and back. I may walk to the UPS store to send an Amazon order back if I change into my street clothes in time.
 
@Mizmo Scones are done. Next time I'll use frozen blueberries instead of fresh, but they're fine... Where are you?
Ohh I can smell them all the way over here even through Niagara Falls and on to Burlington.
Geez I could eat one right now slathered in butter.

You really are making me frantic for scones. We cannot buy scones! I have a British shop nearby who sell potato scones to fry up with bacon and egg but never blueberry or even plain.

If I didn't have the missing thumb that is still there annoying me I would have a go at making myself with your recipe of course.
Sooo..please do send warm drooly delicious thoughts my way when you have one with your coffee

As, @Pepper, plz don’t beat yourself up! Take care of yourself and look forward to other fun times with your grandson. Blessings on you and…

Home to dine on leftovers,, didn't make much of a 'dent ' in them.
We've got a fridge full of leftovers, too. Should have sent some home with the kids on Christmas night...

@Pepper, I'm glad it worked out that you didn't lose an opportunity to watch your DGS. Please try to not feel guilty about getting sick. It's not your fault that others go out while ill, spreading their germs hither and yon.

I agree with StarSong, Pepper, our children and grandchildren need to realize our limited abilities even if we have to tell them ourselves from time to time.

You did the right thing @Pepper ! You were feeling sick, and it wouldn't have been fair to you and your grandson if you had him over while you were under the weather. Be happy that your grandson was able to go to his other grandparents house. Maybe once you get well, you could invite him over and enjoy his company. 🤗
 
Walked the dog twice.

Son's bird decided to walk around on the floor.
I held onto Mac's harness while they tried to make friends.
That consisted of her trying to peak him & him trying to give her a pat.

She would bounce away go to son ,, then come back.
Of course she was going for Mac's nose,, who would back away.
That's an enchanting moment to have witnessed, @Silverfox! Next time, share photos. I/we would love to see them!
 
I'm spending too much money, boo hoo. That part of the brain that is supposed to help us control ourselves is not doing its job at all! Yesterday I ordered a TV, and then last night my kindle-fire wouldn't un-sleep or respond in any way to anything, so this morning after chatting with Amazon Kindle support (who also couldn't get the device to respond), I ordered not one but TWO kindles (so I have a backup!). The littler one was on a good sale so if I'd stuck to that one I'd be unhappy with the size but happy with the cost, but since the support person was giving me a 15% discount my control completely disappeared and I got the 10 inch size that I wanted even though the price was stupidly high.

Worse, the discount will be applied as a future credit, and I know from experience my brain sees a credit and thinks it is free money and then I buy things I could have lived without (at least for a while longer).

Maybe the vet has a secret technique. Have you learned to "squish that cat"?




There are videos about cleaning cats' ears too. Good luck!
 
I caught a cold on Friday. I have no idea how, since I hadn't had any human contact for a week!

I thought it would be a one-day thing, and I tried to power through. But it's hanging on. Yesterday (Monday) I admitted defeat, and just read and napped.

I'm doing as little as possible today. I should at least get cleaned up. That means no possibility of a nap until my hair dries (that takes several hours).

Conversation with language partner tonight.
