How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Well, seeing it was so hot Tuesday I decided to meet up with my sister to go and see a movie. As usual the air conditioning was very cold, but I suppose better than the heat. We saw the new Robbie Williams show "A Better Man". I was a bit put off seeing he had a monkey face on throughout the movie.? Don't know what that was all about. It was a great show, if you don't mind swearing. Boy, there was a lot of swearing.

The singing was great but watching the drug abuse was another thing, I never knew he had such a problem, but it all came good in the end. The final scene was him singing with his dad doing their rendition of "My Way". Brought tears to my eyes.
What I object to in the theatre is, they showed 1 hour of blinking ads. If I had known that we would have gone one hour later and there were only 4 people in the theatre.
 

Blue skies this morning but still chilly. We went for a walk and, if it hadn't been for the chill, it would have been a lovely springlike morning. Nice to come home to a warm cup of coffee.

This afternoon, I went through a couple of cupboards and ended up with a big bag of rubbish and a bag of stuff for recycling. It is amazing the things we stash; a plastic bag full of plastic bags just in case we are ever in need of a plastic bag 🤷‍♀️ Empty jars and bottles, just in case the world runs out of them and we need them ... :rolleyes:

I’ll take them off your hands. No more regular plastic grocery bags here, even for purchase. I would pull one out of my bag of bags when I had something to donate.

this is quite amsuing, because we have had platic carrier bags for decades.. and when we were kids we used to see Americans carrying groceries in paper bags and we though how awkward it all looked... Now America has gone back to paper... and we in the UK still can buy plastic bags ( recyclable)... but there are none for free any more.. some are extortionate pricesdepending on the store but the average price is 30p... We can also buy Paper carrier bags, but tbh, by the time I get my groceries home in one of those.. the bottom is falling out...

Oh no..that sounds terrible to me tbh... an hour of adverts ?.. I'd kill someone..lol.... ..also I can't stand swearing in a film just for the sake of it.... i know all about Rob's drug addiction... and tbh if I've heard Robbie and his dad's version of My Way once.. I've heard it too many times... so I think I'll pass... :D altho' it's tempting to see him with a monkey head on...

I forgot my bag in Aldi's so I bought one of their paper bags. It was so thin you had to keep the contents light or it was going to break. I can still get heavy paper bags at our commissary. I don't know how long that will last.

Sounds like a strange movie.

Williams said he portrayed himself as a monkey because he's always felt "less evolved than other people."
 
2025 has started out oddly for me, personally. I feel off-balance or disconnected or something. We're only 2 weeks in, but every day of the whole 2 weeks I've felt neither happy nor unhappy, grateful nor ungrateful, etc. I'm not angry or grumpy or anything, I'm just not anything.

It's kind of hard to explain. I don't know, maybe it's the weather. Well, the weather's been kind of beautiful, but I mean maybe the barometer pressure or something.

I tried reflecting on my life while meditating. I've done that a couple of times. I thought it might wake up some feels, but it didn't. Looking back, I don't feel satisfied with my life, but I don't feel at all discontent with it, either. I don't feel any particular way about it. It's just ...well, to use a couple of expressions that used to bug the hell outa me... It is what it is. Whatever. :p

I probly should talk to Michelle about it because I'm pretty sure she's picked up on it. I think she can tell something's different.
 
Today was a great temperature day - we were our normal average of 40-something with full sunshine.

That meant the horses were not happy with me as I had them in lockdown until the farrier arrived. My Dutch Warmblood was bad — really bad - worse than he has ever been in the three years he’s been here.

The Arab was great, even though his left hip is giving him problems. His owner has asked 4 or 5 vets about it and they either shrug it off or have the gall to tell her he is “older” becasue they don’t have an answer. Older my awrse — he is only 13. My critter chiropractor has agreed to look at him because he’s in my pasture. Except for her own and my horses, she only works on dogs these days. I am anxious to see what her diagnosis is because it doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to see it hurts him to hold that leg for the farrier. I think it’s in the stifle but it could also be a vertebra issue.

The critter chiropractor will be here tomorrow - the farrier is supposed to follow her but this is a new farrier and she forgot that tidbit - she said she will remember from now on — Duncan was so bad, I said I am relieved there’s going to be a next time. QUALITY farriers are hard to come by.

Our weather is tanking into artic cold. We may even see some below zero nights on the coming days. “Artic cold” is not at all normal for the SE United States🥶🥶

My propane tank thankfully got filled today, so that’s a worry I can cross off my list. To the U.S. folks who use propane — I was surprised it was only $2.85/gallon. That’s the cheapest it’s been in at least two years.

The End🙄🍺🍺🙄

Has something major changed for you or is it a New Year's case of the walking codwallops temporarily putting you off your feed?

Are you taking medication which could make you feel this way?

You had a difficult time last year with the illness and loss of your sister, the concerns over Paxton and your own health problems. It's a lot to process and would be understandable if you were a bit numb to life and the day-to-day stuff. Hopefully it will pass soon but, in the meantime, are you able to plan a trip or a family get together or just a nice day for you and Mish to enjoy?
 
I need to get outside. For longer than from the car, into the store, and back.
It's cold, yes, but upper forties is not bad. It's going to get colder next week so I should get out this week.
I need motivation. DH wouldn't even walk to the mailbox with me. He's got it too.
The winter blahs. Maybe that's what you have @Murrmurr . 🤔 Maybe we've all got a bit of it.

Me too! Wrapped up in leisure wear and the comfort of central heating, it's difficult to find the motivation to face the rain today! I think January is always a bit of a dull month.
 
@OneEyedDiva You dusted, too? Geez. The least you could have done is truck on over here and done mine! I did vacuum but am still cogitating (Bugs Bunny's word) on dusting. Maybe appoint a committee to take it under advisement.

It's gonna be a chilly but sunny day.

DD said she'd take me to the credit union to "buy" some cash and to Aldi this morning. Aldi has The. Best. meatballs, and I want to get some to make meatball soup.

I gotta eat breakfast and do morning stuff.
