Just finishing up 4 batches of keto meal replacement shakes for future ice cream in the next few days. When it is hot it helps me plus it is replacement meal with nutrients and no bad ingredients. I have my air conditioner on a low setting so that when it gets hotter I will turn it up more. Just trying to stay cool today.
 

Life has been an ongoing roller coaster ride of late.
A year ago I had a spinal X-ray at a chiropractor's suggestion, the spine was pretty good but the radiologist saw a few things that resulted in further examination. This resulted in an early diagnosis and further tests, today the cardiologist told me that I'm 'rough enough' for my age and mileage and that he would write to my GP saying that nothing further need be done for now. 😁🎉🎊

EDIT Only the good die young.😜🤣😂

I went out this morning and when I returned my right foot was so sore because that shoe pinches.
The ridiculas thing is, I've got another pair of shoes, but it's the left shoe that pinches.
A certain lady who lives over the road suggested wearing a shoe from each pair (the shoes that don't pinch.
OK, the shoes are both the same colour but one pair has laces and the other has velcro fastening.
I have to go out again tomorrow, so I'll experiment by wearing the comfortable shoe from each pair.
People may notice and laugh behind their hands, but I don't care, I'm going to do it.

Hi folks... 4.20pm the sun is shining.. It was hot but cool enough to wear long sleeves outside..
I went out with just jeans and a 3/4 sleeve shirt on... it was plenty warm enough...lots of people had jackets on.. temps around 68...

Had a fall.. I stupidly opened a door in the place where I was not realising there was a step there, and tripped over it, fell flat on my knees..oooh the pain on my poorly knees ..😫 broke my nails on the left hand trying to save myself ..someone had to help me up because I couldn't get up by myself. Now 2 hours later everything including my back hurts.. 🥺🥺

Anyway got the physio done... here's a photo of the place if you're interested I;ve blocked out someone's face. It's legal to photograph people in public without permission, but I think in a medical facility I should not be showing faces..

I was early for my appointment so I had a cuppa coffee here...

After I got home I had to get all the data uploaded to the portal for my lawyer......so I've done that now... that was a pretty big job..

Gonna have a little bit of a rest now...

Ouch. Bruises tomorrow. Glad nothing broke like Pappy.

Out of curiosity, in the photo of the physio clinic, what are those things on the left wall that people are looking at?

Incidentally, if your lady friend has a hair dryer you could borrow it and use it on hot heat to blow into the shoe that's too tight, and it will stretch it a little...
 
When you're a senior, you can get away with almost any fashion statement. ;)
You're so right Debs, I turn a few heads when I go out in my Darth Vader outfit. 😊

Thanks for the tip, Holly, I've got a blow-lamp which is hotter, do you think that this would stretch it more? 😊
 
I was sleepier than I thought. Just woke up.

What a pleasant day! Sun's out, but it's only 70 at noon, and there's a nice breeze. Yay. I even turned off the a/c and opened the windows.

I wanted to sit outside, but DD's lawn guy is here so came inside to stay out of his way. He doesn't mow in back, that's my job, but he uses the leaf blower. Yeah. The leaf blower, like I did yesterday. It'll look nice for a few minutes before the river birch starts dropping leaves all over the place again.
 
The odd thing about my fall today is that I fell squarely on my front.. right on my knees.. but aside from the knees and hand pain...my back is really hurting more than the other 2 things.. not my lower back as you might imagine .. but all down the right side like a pulled muscle or something..

You probably did pull a muscle trying to catch yourself. Your poor knees! Not what they needed I'm sure. Sorry! 🤗
 
If you suffer from HSD--horizontal surface disease--it won't take long to clutter it back up ;) HSD seems to be a problem of mine. Or maybe not mine. Maybe there are gremlins who come in the night and clutter up the countertops, top of the bookshelves, etc...

It's cooler today and not going to hit 90. 89 is "cooler"? Gotta go water the flowers and do stuff in the garden. When that's done, I'm gonna sit around on my dead center and play solitaire. ETA: I was gonna blow some leaves, but DD said the blower died and probably wants a new spark plug. That's fine. My motivation was last seen somewhere in Scotland...maybe not Scotland, somewhere that starts with an "S." If you happen to see it anywhere, please don't send it home.

Cookie was scheduled to work yesterday. We can't figure out if she even showed up because Sir left when inventory was done around 9, and NL was only scheduled until 1. Cookie was supposed to work from 3:30-7, but there weren't any cookies baked, no cookies put out on the shelves and tables, but...the trash and cardboard were gone. Hm. I'm thinking one of the folks from deli took it with theirs. Because? Nothing else was done. WTH?

She's scheduled off today. Go figure. Sir said he'd do cookies today because we're woefully low on cookies. There's a new "sheriff" in town (new assistant store manager) who takes no prisoners when it's time to call out those who aren't doing their jobs. Sir has asked him to have a "word" with Cookie. Doubt that it will help one iota. As long as g'mother is there, Cookie is golden and doesn't have to do anything. I've said before that g'mother wanted her to have a job, not that she wanted a job:rolleyes:.

I love the fancy name you gave it! :LOL: For some unknown reason, when it's on the dining table, I call it clutter but when it's on the dresser, I call it "The Creeps". I'd rather clean up the clutter. :rolleyes:
