Busy day today: errands, pedicure, lunch with Ed, time with older granddaughter this afternoon and then church ladies meeting tonight.

I just came from the grocery store… it had begun to rain steadily when I was preparing to leave with three bags of groceries One of the young male employees offered to carry the bags to the car. He put the where I asked, then walked around to the driver’s side and opened the door for me. I ‘bout fell over. Tried to get a glimpse of his name tag so I could compliment him to the manager. (This store does not allow tipping but I will make sure I put in a good word for him)
 

Absolutely persisting down with rain, so I am very happy to stay home today, and do nothing much. My house is very clean, no need for chores... I took delivery of a parcel...cleared out over 2,000 emails from my computer going back to 2014....I kid you not....:oops: . Searching websites looking for idea of new areas to potentially move to when the time is right.. listening to great music via google home nest...
 
Further to my whinge about the estranged O/H's text last night.. I stayed up really late in the hope I would be so tired I'd not have it all playing on my mind. It worked for the first 3 hours.. and I was woken up by the most excruciating Charlie Horse in my Thigh.. 😣😣😣 OMG.. I just couldn't get it to go.. I've never had a cramp in my thigh before.. my calf yes..but my thigh jeezus, I couldn't even get relief by standing on the cold tiles in the bathroom. I tell you it's a wonder I didn't die of heart failure getting woken in a deep sleep by such agony....

Finally when I did get back to sleep it was then the o/h was all in my brain.. no escaping him that time.. ..

Has anyone else ever have a Charlie Horse in their Thigh ?

I tried to do that for my husband once, clean out his email. But I don't understand Outlook well and ended up making a mess of it, really. He doesn't let me "spring clean" his email anymore. 🙃 :/
 
At home today with potent Pacific storm moving in. Yesterday had plenty of exercise outdoors carrying about maybe 12 pounds of photo gear including 5 pounds of tripod/head up and down oak savanna grassland hills. Will spend hours today on an old Windows desktop post processing the maybe half dozen images I worked yesterday that sometimes requires hours of tedious manual work.

I usually Google that sort of thing as it can be so confusing on the site itself. I had to Google how to cancel a channel subscription on Amazon Prime because I couldn't find it on the site. Very clear directions on Google got me right where I needed, though. :)

He will have a can of tuna later, for a special b-day dinner!!)

Yesterday was not a good day. Dio ended up going back to the APN. He's on antibiotics and steroids, now, so I'm hopeful that the worst is behind us. Today, Dio started the day feeling better than he has been. His temp is just a little bit over normal, but (so far) not getting any worse. I'm feeling less run down, too! It's a beautiful day, sun is shining & birds are singing!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Aching and creaking after yesterday's log stacking marathon.
Went up to friends' house for coffee. Talked about "Cabbages and kings". Spent afternoon looking on-line for a coffee filter machine to replace the one I bought 2 weeks ago. It's useless - coffee comes out lukewarm and has to be heated in the microwave. Shopping tomorrow, so I'll return it for a refund.

thanks *M* sorry you get that too.. First time I've ever had it in my thigh. I did get up and walk into the bathroom for the cold floor.. but I'll try your method if there's ever another time.. I hope there isn't
 
Had a great overnight and day with the grands yesterday. They'll be here again today, but just for a few hours. Then tomorrow & Thursday baby grandson will be here. Set myself a reminder to put all the baby-proof cabinet locks back on early in the AM.

He's a sweetie, but his walking has improved to a swift pace and he gets into everything. Even though most of the house is blocked off when he's here, DH or I have to have eyes on him at all times, and can't be more than a few steps away.

I have my phone set so no calls, except for my Favourites, come in after 10 PM. Not sure if there’s a workaround for messages, If there isn’t, Apple should create one. Maybe one of those help forums has a suggestion.

Come to think of it, I don’t get a sound notification in the DND times.

My phone is set the same way. Calls will come through from numbers I designated as favorites, but there are no audible alerts for texts, emails or other notifications.
 
My ringer is turned off all the time. 🙂

I had been procrastinating on changing the humidifier filter, as I wasn't sure how much longer humidifier season would last. This morning I decided to change it, which is a rigmarole (but not as much rigmarole as cleaning between filter changes). So that's done.

I have so much to do. Reading for book club. Figure out how to put the telescope together. All the laundry and cleaning I've been putting off. Taxes. Exercise??? How much I actually will do, I don't know.

Then tomorrow is monthly paperwork.

I'm supposed to do a training course for the board I'm on, but I don't think I will. It seems redundant, and all the courses/workshops are video or Zoom based, ugh. I don't have good enough Internet for that.
