I finished up the laundry I intended to do for the week. I was on the phone for a couple of hours today. I got calls from my granddaughter, my son, BFF and two other friends. Plus I had to call my insurance company because I needed to verify that my ultrasound, done routinely after a mammogram at the center I got to, would be covered without a script from my doctor. And it is covered.

I rearranged some things in the storage closet, put the machines away, Swiffered and dusted in the bedroom. I also caught up with posts here and on Facebook. I even managed to watch a couple of TV shows and play my games. It was such a busy day that I didn't take a proper nap, just dozed off for a couple of minutes.

You sure were busy!!!! I don't accomplish that much in a whole week!!

Feeling crabby today, no idea why. But something clicked and I've snapped out of it. Maybe some time out in the sunshine and 50°F helped the demon escape?

Today at 10 am I am having a video chat with my VA doctor. This seems to be the way the VA prefers now. There are times I would like a one on one visit.

You can schedule a 1:1.

The weekly rally - returns, groceries, this and that.
Our last dentist took three tries for a filling. Then he dropped our insurance. Well, the new dentist fixed the botched filling free of charge and he uses a great radio station:>)

Oh, @Georgiagranny , about the kneeler/seat. The tall side is great to kneel on over a flower bed so you can work in back of things without crushing others.
And yes, while the nubiles are picking out bikinis, I'm picking out pansies. I think I got the first ones Wal-Mart recieved.

Good Morning, Everyone

Today is looking good so far: husband is off so, yay!
Going to be another nice day with a high of 61F/16C! The dog walks should be pleasant.
I need to do some laundry today, usual household chores and walk the dog twice. Other than those, we'll see how the day unfolds.
Yesterday, I finished my little Macrame project.

Vitamin D gets you happy!

Vitamin D gets you happy!

Have you noticed a difference due to Vit D ?

I ask as got into supplements not long ago .

@hearlady Pansies are a winter flower here. They'd be dead in another month. It's easy to tell who at the garden center is new to the area. They buy lots of flats of pansies.

 

[Georgiagranny]

I wish I had a job, a car and my own place to live. Wish in one hand, in the other. See which hand gets full first.

I used the VA once and I was impressed . I notice you are also in Florida I'm in Miami .

Actually plenty of Doctors now use that system and who wants to physically go if no need .

I’m in Melbourne and Palm Bay Area. Video went well this morning and got some of my meds taken straightened out.

Yes. I only take it on a day when I don't get outside. Otherwise, go in the sun for at least ten minutes to get a daily dose.

Mine can get through to the end of June depending on where I put them. I usually plant them in the fall but didn't get to it.

I was in Dollar Tree and heard the girls talking about needing help. I thought of you.

 

[jujube]

Well, I look back and remember when I was young, stupid, and poor.

But after years and years of hard work, I'm not young any more.....

Our garden is full of life and beauty.

Hawks are nesting in our tall Eucalyptus Trees, and I see them soaring in the sky every day. I am listening to three noisy Blue Jays
arguing in our Tamarisk Tree, and I hear woody woodpecker searching somewhere for worms. They are easier to hear than to see.
Hummingbirds come and sip at our sugar water feeders every few minutes, while other birds are picking seeds from different feeders.

We have a mini heat wave. Every day in the 80's and tomorrow it's supposed to be 90. What will the summer be, again 120F?

Pictures: OK, the garden is not in the best shape, but it will again be shining when my wife hopefully retires soon from work.
Right now unwanted Palm Trees are growing in her flower pots.

All pix were taken within the last hour.

For years ... years ... my 22yr old Jeep with only just over 61K on the clock, has gotten terrible ... terrible ... gas mileage and the automatic transmission was surging and shifting hard into some higher gears.

I couldn't figure out what was going on. I swapped out sparkplugs, changed oil and air filter. Even drained and installed new transmission fluid and transmission filter. Didn't help.

A couple of days ago, the Jeep finally threw a Check Engine Light (CEL) on the dashboard. Turned out the fault code was a P0455 ...

"P0455 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that indicates a major leak in the evaporative emission control (EVAP) system, which is responsible for preventing gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Common causes include a loose or damaged fuel cap, damaged hoses, or other issues within the EVAP system."

So I crawled around all over the vehicle and FINALLY located a ruptured rubber hose near the gas tank and replaced it.

Today, the Jeep is running the best it has in I can't remember when ... years ... and the automatic transmission shifting is no longer an issue what so ever. The Jeep runs and shifts as good or better than it EVER has. Not only that but my miles per gallon has jumped up 4miles more to the gallon and now getting the gas mileage it did 22yrs ago when I drove off the Jeep dealer's lot with a brand spanking new Jeep.

My Jeep is happy ... I'm thrilled. Even have some left over rubber hose should another need arise.

Still NO idea how the EVAP system affects the automatic transmission but just glad replacement of a ruptured rubber hose fixed it.

It is always the small stuff. I am happy that you found it.
