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

Today: mostly sunny, high 82 F and humid. Tonight: winds increasing through the day into evening, and then gusts up to 70 MPH as showers and thunderstorms roll in.

There seems to be some doubt about the winds and storm severity. Some say those high winds, hail up to 2 inches in diameter, and possible tornados. Others say all of the above but far less severe.

I'll batten down hatches just in case as I gather a few buckets of solar power during the day. Good day to keep the house closed up to keep it cool without turning any air conditioning on.
 
It's cloudy now, but going to be sunny and warm later.

I was able to sleep a little bit better last night. There seemed easier to get comfortable, so I guess my injuries are starting to get better.

I have a dentist appointment later this morning, then gym and a few errands. I didn't do well at the gym last time (I hurt too much), so I'm looking forward to seeing how today goes.

Yesterday, was bad things happen in threes.

Some part on the car has to be replaced. This is the first issue in 9 years. Naturally we have umpteen places to go to this week.
The dishwasher quit after 18 years. Yikes, a replacement will be expensive.
The string on the TDBU blind broke. Must decide between another $65 repair or pricey replacement.

Actually, I don’t believe in the bad things happen in threes superstition. Someone said that to me yesterday and it had only been two until bedtime when I closed the blind. Hmm

I fit the bill. Completely. Re: avoidance--even want to avoid going to see my grandson and you know how much I love him. Can't believe I'm saying this. Feel crippled by fear; powerless; no control.

Very concerning. Have you talked to your son? Are there other resources you can explore in NYC?

My son knows something is very wrong without me having to tell him. When he "accused" me of what is actually happening, I've denied it, as he can't help and involving him---can't at this point. I have a good therapist, a good psychiatric nurse who prescribes well. Both are so in my corner. I whine to my BFF. I think I've explored every option. The one blocking me is me; the unexplored territory is mine.

I'm feeling weaker as I age, in all aspects. All coming to a head. I'm reacting to my lack of personal power, something I was never short on before. Feeling powerless; caught up in this feeling.

Thank you so much, all of you, for helping. Thank you.

yes that's always very amusing that tiny village in Oxfordshire has a murder every week..:ROFLMAO:.

It was the same with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple... in her tiny picture perfect village of St Mary Mead , never a week went past when there wasn't a murder, and the police were so useless they needed a little old lady to work it all out for them

They had the same problem with Angela Lansbury up in fictional Cabot Cove, Maine. Must have had a higher murder rate than Detroit.

You got your three strikes in one setting. So you can relax for the rest of the week. It has been all stuff. Dishwasher - if you go for big box store check on senior discount days and general discount for specific groups from educator to who knows what. Can they throw delivery in?

What is a tbdu bland please?
