Another rainy day in So Cal. This storm is supposed to hang around through late tomorrow afternoon. More expected Sunday, and next Tues and Weds.

Today is a lazy day for me. Baby was here yesterday (an oddity) then again tomorrow through Friday.

@hollydolly, if the power goes out, @Kaila's router can't power up. She could turn on her laptop but won't get an internet signal. Cellphones pick up roaming signals so they're a different story.

My thanks to all of you. I will review all the ideas, and do any of them, if I can, before going back to bed. Thank you.

Kaila, you're always thinking of other people. Always concerned about others... you rarely talk about yourself at all... but you know if you need to..you must if it helps you feel better, and perhaps others can make suggestions which would be of use to you too, without being obtrusive of course.. 🥰
 
Got my blood taken this morning……but……it took some time…..my veins were less than cooperative.
This isn’t unusual for me…..my veins take a hike when they see a needle…..after being a pin cushion for 30 minutes….they went for a main line……burn…..burn…..burn…..but they got blood !!!!!!!
Had the rest of my tests, got a cappuccino for a reward, then home…..lots of bruising on both arms.

Found my sNOw Angel that blew my driveway out on Sunday. 😊.

Broke down some stuff for recycling pick up tomorrow.

Enjoyed some bright blue sky.

You must be a very patient, patient. I allow 2 sticks, if they can't do it with 2 chances they do not need to employ that person. I will say, I have learned to drink a lot of water anytime I am scheduled for a blood draw. I have learned the best arm, visible vein for the lab to use. Most want to do my right arm, I am left handed. That arm stays in better shape because I use it for most everything, the right arm, there is nothing to find, it is like a needle in the haystack (no pun intended),

My veins have a mind of their own.
On both knee replacement surgeries, my veins kept pushing out the needle for the intravenous line.
Sadly, having stubborn veins, have never been able to donate blood. 😕.

Thank you, for this post, Holly.
And again, thanks to each one of you.
It definitely made me feel better, to have shared more than usual, with others here today.
I was then more able to look at the suggestions and to figure out a few small steps that I could manage to take; I calmed down, and felt far less alone, and was therefore more able to get a nap. Then, was able to cope a little better, too.

I still have power, and it's evening here, now; though there are many nearby power outages, and there are more overnight outages likely, they are saying.

I am feeling less stressed over it, thanks to support from here, though.

I access internet, only from my laptop, which must have both, the laptop battery charged up, which is easy to do, AND, the cable modem must have electricity from an outlet. There's no battery in that small box, that is possibly called a router/cable modem.

I don't have any other way to use this site, or anything else on the internet, such as other websites for information about outages or weather, and including e-mail. None, except for thru this laptop, which needs that box, which needs constant electricity.
 
Robert Louis Stevenson said this about me years before I was even born

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

but you know what... you get the best of both worlds.. go to work earn money... come home sleep when the stores are open...keep your money...:LOL:🤑🤑
 
Today there will probably be major snow removal going on. It will make up for the quiet of yesterday. I don't know if we got anymore snow or not. Not unblocking my windows to look. When it snows like this, I am thankful I chose not to have a vehicle. People have to move their cars and wait for the plow to clean the parking lot. Some people go to the store while it is being done.

I am hoping the mail comes through today since I am waiting for a delivery of coffee. I have enough for a couple of days but not enough if I wanted to make an extra pot.
 
Think it's gonna be pretty much the same as yesterday... My fruit and veg smoothie, then off to the gym we go... Go down to the river, enjoy a coffee with Lorie, and watch people out walking. Run around to get Lorie's last few things before her trip to Florida for 10 days to see her Aunt and her cousin who have been down there since the beginning of the month... Was hoping Spring was coming, but we got another dump of snow, but suppose to warm up till the end of the week... Hope your Wednesday is a GREAT day...

it's Wednesday isn't it D Day..or should I say ''A'' Day... isn't the new Aide supposed to be coming today...presuming she's not got Lhasa fever or the Plague...
 
Today I'm staying home after yesterday's running around. Gotta rest my knee. I noticed that my right leg yesterday was hurting when I was driving.. all down my shin from my knee.. That's the first time that's happened and is of course being the accelerator leg it was very uncomfortable and painful....

Today it's sunny ...ish ..

Got a delivery coming this afternoon of more Vitamins.. . Paid the bill online for the next year for our Garden waste removal..

Called our local Pharmacy to point out a glaring Spelling mistake on a leaflet they have which I picked up yesterday, promoting a medication for IBS..

I pointed out to them that most of us have warning bells if we are to buy something online which has spelling mistakes in the description, so to see something in real life that the Pharmacy are promoting, is a genuine concern.

The pharmacist at first denied having the leaflets (despite them being in a prominent place ) , and then blustered about it being the company who supplies the drug who are at fault.. and not them.. I understand that.. ..and that he would contact them... but hmmm.. take ownership at least of not noticing ..Mr Pharmacist and team .. it's not tiny writing which can barely be noticed.. it's big lettering spelling mistake on the front of the leaflet promoting an important drug !

Today is going to be busy once I get started. I am leaving for Florida tomorrow morning. I will be driving straight through, which will be about a 15 hour drive with just stopping for gas and coffee. Lunch with a friend at noon today. This afternoon, going to the office to pick up my mail and go over some bills to give to my secret to pay.
 
Morning gang....37deg here, up around 60f I guess...got some bills to pay today, and watch the lawn maint man do his thing,
rake leaves on this big lot, sticks and such as that, also he will
haul off one small rubbermaid shed...so that will take care of
major cleanup for this year....
