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

Fell asleep around 7:30 pm fully clothed on couch, stumbled into bed not realizing in clothes, woke up at 3 am surprised that I was fully dressed. Just waiting till time to take shower and wear Saturday clothes. Family will be here today for Mother's Day. Exhausted but I will perk up eventually

One of my sisters worked at a bakery making cream horns right after high school. I'm not sure she can face one of them to this day. :ROFLMAO:

I remember my mother taking a part-time job in a chocolate factory. When she started she was told she could eat as many chocolates as she wanted.. it didn't take long for her not to want to eat another one...:D
 
@hollydolly Is that other half of the cake available? I could have it for breakfast.

It's raining and not expected to stop until Tuesday, except for a few short periods here and there. That means I won't have to think of an excuse for not playing in the dirt ;).

Nothing planned for the day, just going to veg and stay dry.

The more I hear about NHS the scarier it sounds to get sick or have an accident in the UK. How do people with children deal with this?

In general, If you have an accident or a serious condition that requires immediate treatment, you will get it. The problems arise when you have a condition that does not seriously impact your day to day life. With an under-resourced health system, you have to wait and wait and be aware that your treatment could be cancelled at the last minute. Little wonder that people with private health insurance or sufficient money, will go to a private clinic. Once there, they might find that their surgeon works part time for the NHS and part for the clinic.

Having had to wait for 6 months to have my hernia repaired, the surgeon said that she would have done it privately without any waiting. I didn't ask how much, but at that time, the average was around £1200.

In Scotland, breast screening is routinely offered to all women aged between 50 and 70. You’ll be invited for screening every 3 years.
The average uptake is about 76% - much higher in affluent areas and lower in deprived areas.

Six months of not knowing what your hernia will do versus 1200. A tough decision for some - unfortunately. Thank you for sharing.

Mammograms and bone density are generally scheduled at an annual basis. More often with family histories of cancer or bone issues. The clinic my PCP is affiliatted with offers a whole department specializing on it. Very seasond, longterm staff, five minute wait and equipment which is similar to panoramic xrays at the dentist. Kind of step in the circle and it rotates. Results are posted on the patient portal immediately and PCP has access. You can have a disk to go.

How AWFUL for you. I often have a feeling of stuffiness up in the back of my nose and the feeling of not breathing in enough air. These keep me awake at night, plus a bit anxious. I've been avoiding histamine containing foods as best I can because histamine seems to be the cause.

@hawkdon I don't miss getting up at 2am to be at work at 4am and make hundreds of croissants. Nope. I miss having a job and a paycheck, though.

I'll be over for biscuits and gravy in a few minutes. Give me time to get dressed...

Well, here's the thing, some one dumba$$ forgot to order
BISCUITS last week gggaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!..I slip quietly into my cheerios bowl.........
 
I had two deliveries today and both went well. Now, waiting to go out but rain threatens. We do need rain. A lot of rain on the radar but somehow it avoids our area.

No garbage pickup yesterday and it is our garbage day. I wonder why but will keep putting it out for pickup.

Everyone have a great day and hope all are feeling well. :)
 
Fourth day now of days from partly cloudy to sunny, more sunny since last Wednesday though. Should continue through maybe coming Tuesday. Should be near 80F today.

We're in the "frequent mowing" season now, so I'm feeling smug that I have mine 99% done at the moment. What's left is a little bit of string trimming.

I had taken out a mature and dying-back white Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus) last year. Letting that soil "rest" I have some volunteer Maple and Elm I keep cutting way back until I dig them out. Did another cutback, and I see that one Maple has interesting leaves of the "red" type known as Crimson King. I'll let it go and if ends up looking interesting enough I might transplant it to some suitable location... or into a large pot to give it away since I'm already plagued with big trees.
 
This morning was unusual. Our rooster was not crowing. We went and checked where they sleep and found a bunch of feathers. It looks like a critter of some sort killed him. The 5 hens we have are scattered all about. They were free ranging up to 300 yards from their "home". Even the goats are acting cautious this morning. It looked like a big fight because the ground is messed up in several places.

Things will be different now. It is very quiet without the rooster. :(
