Have got to be at the VA in about 45 mins. for my annual blood and urine sample and then go back next Friday to see the doc and chat about the results...I'm fasting and no coffee is killing me. :)

I have found VA Doctors and Nurses to be great but some like receptionist , phone people , administration can be rude and get away with it .

Would be interested in your opinion .

Coffee in a to go cup and a candy bar. Breakfast of champions after the little vampire has gottten his/her share of blood.
 

Happy Birthday @hollydolly 🎂🎂

@Georgiagranny I also mowed yesterday. My John Deere had to have surgery, so yesterday was test day. I mowed the front grazing area where I threw hay all winter. Things were going well, so I decided to scrape the huge hoof divots going through the main gate. So much rain a few weeks back, so much mud, so many deep divots.

Tractor was still working well so I quit while I was ahead. No oil drips pulling into the garage - YAY!!

Today, like it or not, I have put off trying to fix the dripping faucet in the bath tub. It’s now dripping at a good clip, so I have to fix it. It’s a garden tub so my hope is there is a shutoff valve behind “door number one”, when I pull the decorative panel off. Otherwise it’s down to the road and shut the water off down there🤯

In and out of the VA in ten minutes then stopped and got a sausage biscuit and a large cup of coffee to go...feeling much better now with some caffeine and food in my belly.
 
I was just standing at the bathroom sink washing my hands. I stepped backward and BAM! back I went into the bathtub. I banged my head on the wall (just have a little bump, no blood) and hit my back on the far edge of the tub (a little bruise).

I have no idea how it happened. I didn't get dizzy and fall. I've washed my hands at that sink for five years now and never fell into the bathtub. I'm glad I don't have a movie of me getting out of it, because it wasn't pretty. I don't even take baths anymore because it's so hard to get out of. I'm just glad the glass tub door wasn't closed because if I had crashed into the glass, that could have been very bad.

Well, I'm feeling fine but I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I'm going to really be glad when this month is over. It hasn't been a good month. I am getting the stitches taken out of my nose next week and then we'll see if I have to have reconstruction or if I can just live with it.
 
Wrapped one gift and realized I'd run out of birthday paper. Well, I still have time before Saturday.

Cleaned up more leftover/blown-in-from-elsewhere leaves. Harvested a bucket of solar power and started on another. Good for charging gardening tools if nothing else.

I'm back after an exhausting day... it's a holiday weekend this weekend.. and the traffic was just unbelievable.. everybody going today to miss tomorrows' traffic.. and just blocked the roads.... I ended up driving 4 hours in total today..I'm really tired and my back is breaking.. .. but I had a wonderful Birthday.. I have PICS... as you all might have guessed... Ya wanna see them :p
 
The surprise was high Tea.. on the first class Carriage of a Vintage Train, which sat in a train station...

decked out in 1940's style.. even with 1940's music playing in the background....and all the WW2 colours..

Have a look at their website for the story of how it came to be...

Oh yes I definitely had a lovely birthday... I got flowers from my friend, and 4 cakes...

....daughter had the birthday signs made especially.. and if you look at them closely on the high Tea trolley, you will see one says..''How am I, 70''... ( and that has been what I've been saying for the last month.... and the other one says ''Holy Shit Mum is 70'' :ROFLMAO:

She also had the bag made with with the slogan on .. and in a green to match my office room so I can hang it here...
