It’s been a busy day…. Out running errands, stopped by Ed’s and picked up his metal detector, hoping to locate my glasses in the yard. No dice. I think the Bermuda Triangle made a visit to my house on Christmas 😩.

I once lost some readers I had and like you could not locate . Then one day I decided to wear a sweater which was folded up in my dresser drawer and when I took it out and gave it a shake ehh..there they were. I must have had them on when I pulled sweater over my head and got caught inside so go check all the clothes you had on that day if you haven't already...... yours could be hiding like that too(y)

Or you could be me, lost my distance glasses I have to use to watch TV, drive etc.. I thought I had just dropped them in the car when I was loading groceries. Could not find them anywhere, so pulled out my spare pair...went to Walmart a few days later and parked in my normal spot. Got out of the car, what do I see, my glasses. The sides were broken off but the lenses and the frame that held them was not cracked or broken. I still picked them up and brought them home. Thought in an emergency I could tape or glue them to a stick like opera glasses. I am due for a check up next month and will get another pair then. LOL
 

This morning I am interviewing a woman for the position of being my aide. Hopefully, it works out because I seem to really need one right now. Trouble is they say all the right things to get the job, then when they actually are doing the job, they just want to sit and talk. I don't need someone to talk to me, I need someone who knows how to clean. I told her that on the phone so I shall see.
 
It's raining - not a lot - just drizzling - so I am wondering whether to go out or not. I don't need to go out, I don't need to buy anything but, on the other hand, I quite like walking in the rain and looking around the sales. At the moment, things are still very quiet around here and yesterday the shops were empty and I got some of my favourite toiletries at a bargain price. I am not sure the chap understands my logic but, I think it makes good sense as, of course, in the long run I am actually saving a few bob. Okay! I talked myself into it. I'm going out ;):)

So sorry to hear, IKE…….hopefully this was caught in time, and can be taken care of without anything too evasive.
Take care.

Found this link on ITV regarding Coventry Warehouse
https://www.itv.com/news/2022-12-16...e-over-50p-an-hour-pay-rise-offer-in-uk-first

Another one in MSN speaking of same UK depot and dated the 16 December as well!
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/ukne...-at-a-uk-depot-for-the-first-time/ar-AA15mYBe

If they go ahead with it, more than likely other depots will follow... Everybody's got strikes on their minds just the now. Yuck!
 
Thankfully, joiners came for leaky windows. Fixed, yipee cold winds gone. Hopefully, savings on gas. Doing the dance lol!

Done lunches, did dishes, chilling with a Mexican Connection cocktail (a Piña Colada but replacing White Rum with Golden Tequila). Got to steam floor in kitchen. Check Groceries List for tomorrow and going for showers...

Speaking of "showers" it's pouring rain buckets out there. Missing the snow, yes for winter's sports. However, not missing at all the shovelling. 1995, the nice neighbour who loved burying my car with his driveway snow pile. Our munchkins were very young at the time and as hubby was away on contracts at the time, I needed access to the car for emergencies.

I miss the beauty of a snowy landscape but not the shovelling. I feel bad for the Americans and Canadians and the Brits in England who's got to deal with that Winter seasons over and again. Take care y'all... 😀 Later!
 
My dil has a bad case of the flu. Her parents are in to help her while my son works. It is her busiest time of year at work and she is feeling so guilty about not being able to be there.

I'm starting to feel way better. Have podiatrist appt and must miss Young & Restless!!!!!!!!!!! He is retiring so I really want to see him. He's been a great help for many years helping me figure out various health questions I have and he's a real smart funny guy. He thinks its hilarious about Y&R. I must really care.

Finally well enough to put away laundry I did last week!
 
Taking care Mom. My niece who lives with her went home for the holidays so we moved her here to my house last week. She was supposed to be back yesterday but called and said she’s sick with the Flu or COVID. So it looks like I’ll be taking care of her for the next week or two. She’s 98 & requires full time care now. A while back we thought she was ready to leave us but her body is not done yet!

Part of the problem, @HoneyNut, is it’s such pandemonium when my younger granddaughter comes over and we were in survival mode…. I honestly don’t remember what all I did between them arriving and when we went outside.

But I persevere! They r here SOMEWHERE.

Thanks for posting this gorgeous, cheering picture today!:D
And we're still hoping those glasses of yours, will reappear, as mysteriously as they disappeared, if that's the only way to find them!:geek:;):LOL:

@CinnamonSugar something similar happened to me a few months back. I couldn't find my glasses anywhere for almost a week. I have a back-up pair but I prefer the ones that I had misplaced. I finally found them in the guest bedroom.

I use the closet in that room for storage and I was using a step-stool to reach for something on the upper shelf of the closet. Even though I had my glasses on, I got a speck of dust or something in my eye. I took my glasses off and mindlessly laid them on one of the pillows on the bed. The glasses slid between the pillows and by the time I realized they were missing, I had no idea where I had last seen them. Did I leave them on the shelf in the closet? Or did I have them on when I went into the bathroom to put drops in my eyes? Or did I accidentally thrown them out? So many scenarios ran through my mind for days. I retraced my steps as best I could but it was like some imp or fairy that took them away. I even looked on the bed and moved some of the pillows (but not all of them).

I finally gave up and just accepted that they were gone and I'd have to get a replacement pair. And it was soon thereafter that something compelled me to go back into the guest room and move all of the pillows (because I turned everything else upside down and inside out) and there they were, safely nestled underneath six pillows waiting to be found.

Fingers crossed for you that your glasses are somewhere close waiting to be found!

Gotta be the youngest prettiest 93 year old I've ever seen.. :)
 
Woke up at 5:30 this AM and couldn’t get back to sleep. Decided to just get up. Dog didn’t understand schedule change but followed me to the living room. Had a cup of coffee and took a short nap in the recliner with the dog. Now trying to decide if I want to get out and go to Tractor Supply to get some birdseed for my new bird feeder. It is predicted to be raining tomorrow so if I don’t go today it will have to wait until Friday. Decisions, decisions.
 
Slept soundly last night, couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the clock and it was 11am.. 😲... 11am?....

Anyway after all the running around yesterday and the drive up country and back.. I must have been far more tired than I realised , and further to that it was raining hard , so it's always particularly quiet around here when it's raining, so nothing disturbed my sleep either..

I've done nothing today of any great note , I decided I would do no chores at all, which is kinda weird for me, but anyway I didn't do any... aside from a little bit of vaccing... and just hunkered down out of the heavy rain

Then I saw an article in the media about applying to the Water utility company to enable lower bills if we're pensioners, so I applied online for that.....just having a chill out day thinking, I don't need to be anywhere or see anyone until after new year...so what a shock I got when I got an email reminding me that my cars' MOT is due tomorrow morning . For non Brits , that's a legal Annual inspection of our cars, and it's very comprehensive, and must pass on all points or we cannot legally drive the car on the road.. and if we don't have the MOT done yearly, the car becomes illegal to be on the road... so it's imperative I don't miss having it done. However it all starts off anxiety about what they might find wrong, and how much it will cost to fix if they do.. ( we get one week to fix it and have it retested)..

It's dark and still raining now at 6.20pm
