What's on your agenda for today?

I was just wondering the same thing, Georgia. Had to check the date on my pc to be sure. Do not worry about your cataracts progressing. In my experience....the cataract surgery was a breeze. Most annoying parts were the nurse trying to scrub off, what she thought was eye make up..prior to the surgery. Then having to have someone drive me home. Even having to redo one eye was so easy. No discomfort at all. Even though mine were done prior to the use of lasers. Only wear glasses for reading/pc.
 

We're getting a mostly sunny day! :sunshine: I'm going to ride my bike into town and pick up a few groceries. 20 miles roundtrip. A short one. :smug1:

Then I will work on my packing as I'm a fanatic about being organised, especially with carry on bag. I don't like to have to get into the backpack in the overhead compartment during the flight, so I keep a big Hefty bag with everything I'm going to need at my seat. I add stuff from my liquids bag after security. And I wear my cargo trousers with all the pockets to keep wallet, both passports, phone, etc.
 
Ameriscot, cargo trousers are such a great idea. Aren't you clever!

Today, Jennifer (NC daughter) and I are going to the mall to exchange an office chair I had picked up for her new office space. She's a certified esthetician and owns her own business where she does mostly skincare, facials, and somewhat permanent eyelashes. Then we'll go to the pool together. Later I'll try to get her to eat some dinner. She's vegetarian and doesn't eat much but she looks good. Does yoga and jogs everyday.

Your daughter sounds incredibly healthy! Good for her. Have a good time!

I started buying the nylon (fast-drying) trousers with all the pockets when I started to travel. Besides all the pockets they dry very quickly if you get caught in the rain. I'm paranoid about losing my passport(s) so keep them on me at all times except when going through security. On trips to the US I have to carry both of them.
 
I am looking forward to going to a dinner show called "All Shook Up" tonight with my newest lady friend that I met on line several weeks ago. This will be our third date. I have had her to my place for dinner and I have had dinner at her place. Nothing serious but a good developing friendship. At noon today I will attend a Picnic sponsored by the Central Valley Humanist's.
 
Agenda? What agenda? Nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. My daughter asked early this morning if I'd like to go to the farmer's market at the square at noon and said she'd let me know before they were ready to leave. They left, but I didn't know it until just now when I went outside to turn off the sprinkler.

No wonder old folks get depressed.
 
My internet was down for a couple hours. Panicked big time :( Ran all the "fixits" Changed my IP addresses. Did a restore and lost software I just spent an hour installing. Plugged and unplugged 7 times...then finally gave in and called my ISP. The problem was on their end. Someday I will learn not to be so independent and ask for help instead of trying to do everything myself :bigwink: OK rant over...everyone have a great Sunday evening...

Nona - Wow, have I walked in your shoes! It's taken me quite a few years to figure out what things I might able to do and when I would be better off calling for help. I've always wanted to have more tech skills but there just certain things that seem tougher to learn than others. I'm still trying to learn things on my iPhone which I got last year. You sound much more adept at tech things than me and I don't think you were ranting, just unfrustrating yourself. Take care!
 
Today I am celebrating the final panels of the fence being put in place between my neighbour and me.

I've had a temporary fence up for about three weeks now, and as my dog doesn't really get on with their dog, I've had to go out with my dog on a lead for her toilet breaks each time.

Now I can just let my dog out - with no worries.
 
Today I will be waiting for an inspector to look at my apt. so I am able to keep my housing subsidy. I really need for my car to go to the shop but have to wait for this guy instead. Oh well, it's not a big deal either way. :)

I bet you will be glad to have it all fixed and done and that your dog can go out alone. Congrats!
 
It's after midnight so I can speak of "today" as Monday, even though I haven't been to bed on Sunday yet. :) This will be a good day for me as our oldest grandchild, 22 years old, will be visiting for 3 or 4 days between summer and fall classes at college. He and I are especially close. He'll talk about his feelings and what's going on in his life and we just talk for hours.
 
Enjoy your time with your grandson Linda..( btw it's 9.15am Monday here)... :D...Sun is shining... done almost 3 hours of work from home... meeting up with a friend at her narrowboat later for lunch and a little bit of supermarket shopping afterwards.. and that's all my day has planned for it...
 
Enjoy the visit Linda! I'll be seeing my granddaughters who are 10 and 5 next week!

Busy today. Been to the gym, grocery shopping, chemists to stock up meds I might need on the my trip, paid for a car repair, picked up my prescription to last me through till we get back.
 
It's raining here and supposed to rain all week. I have no idea what there is to do indoors in 300sf. Read a book? Watch more Netflix? Clean out the kitchen cupboards?
 
The weather here is still kind of hot but not intolerable. I'd so much like to get more things done around the house but still battling the leg pain (bad reaction to statin medication) and also plantar fasciitis in my right foot. In a few days I'll go to my appt. at the podiatrist to get the foot examined and hopefully the doc will have some ideas. I'm now using a cane to walk - this used to be my hubby's cane when he was here at home but now I've inherited it. It's pretty nifty because it folds up into thirds when not being used.

My daughter and I plan to go on another beach trip in mid-Sept. (shorter than the last one) so I'm really motivated to get rid of my leg/foot pain before then.

Annie and Linda - Hope you have lots of fun with the grandkids! Have any of your grandkids challenged you to play a computer game? I took the bait when my grandson, Luke, wanted me to play a game and he trounced me to pieces! Forewarned is forearmed. He was getting back at me because we played Scrabble and I beat him so that was his motivator. He's really a cute, funny, and lovable grandson no matter what!

I only see my grandkids once a year when I go on a long visit to the US. I'm sure I'll be talked into games this visit!

I've got plantar fasciitis but it's gotten much better with proper arch support and a 'boot' I wear to bed every night. I never go barefoot any more.

Annie - Thanks for writing this! Like you, I've found it's just too painful to go barefoot so I always have shoes on (usually trainers), padded athletic socks, and an orthotic device which has been extremely helpful. My son-in-law is a personal trainer on weekends (works for a fitness equipment company on weekdays) and he has had plantar fasciitis at least twice from running too many miles each week. He told me he wore a boot to bed every night and also rolled a tennis ball under his foot plus some other exercises as well. So I figure I'll be getting a boot from the doctor this week. I hope your visit over here is terrific fun! If you go through Pennsylvania, I'll be waving at you!

I was doing the tennis ball and also the exercises every morning before getting out of bed, but with the boot I don't need to. I bought the boot on Amazon for about £20. It's coming to the US with me! I've got some really great slippers with arch support for PF, and an insert for my trainers. When I get to the US I'm buying some trainers and sandals that are highly recommended for PF - Abeo.

Yes, I'll be in PA - Gettysburg!
