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

A friend came by to pick up a load of plants. We had a good chitchat and she went her merry way. This afternoon I will be a shoulder for an older friend whose children and grandchildren are not treating her right. She will talk for an hour about the past and I will listen and iron.
Will it rain? I am procrastinating watering the vegetable garden. It is not yet on a sprinkler system.
Holly Hocks are blooming:>)
 
It is one of those days ….. not too hot or raining….and i have been outside working in the yard and gardening today. Lots more to do ! I did some weeding in the strawberry patch, and i noticed some runners, so by this fall, they might have spread enough to fill the whole area if i can keep the weeds out so the strawberries have room.
The blueberries and raspberries are loaded with tiny berries, and i got the netting to put over the top to protect the berries from the birds, but i have not put that up yet.
I am not even going to try and have any veggies this year ! If i can keep up with the flowers and berries that will be more than enough for me to do now. We can go to the farmer market and i can get fresh tomatoes and squash from there this year.

I'm going through something mental I can't describe or understand. I ruined my yesterday by being a nervous wreck about going home on AAR. Nothing bad happened, yet I kept expecting........it's me, something is happening to me, and I don't know what it is.

I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through Pepper! I wish I could do something or say something to help. I hope this feeling will pass and you'll be back to yourself soon. 🤗

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 swear things do happen in threes!

Took car in for a recall appointment this morning, then swam. Tonight our HOA has a big meeting to discuss an assessment for foundation work needed on houses experiencing settling of foundations due to underground water issues. I'm the treasurer and I'm expecting a lot of hostility and push-back on the assessment.
 
My granddaughter, who's away at college and son did a three way call with me today. GD needed a photocopy of her birth certificate to start her new job. My son directed me to check a folder, which it wasn't in, then check his lock box which I would have to get on the floor and reach for access. Well, I got down there and had a devil of a time trying to get up. I had to use a cushion under my knees. Good thing I had sturdy furniture to push myself up with. After three tries and falling forward, knocking down my lamp (not breakable) and bumping my forehead, I made it. I did not bruise myself, nor do I have pain, thank goodness.

Poor girl called her mother and other grandmother to see if they had it after my son said he could not find that he had taken a picture of the certificate. I looked through all the stuff in the box, not there. Checked just to see if he had given it to me to put in my fireproof box. Nope.

Shortly after my son got home, he came and told me that it turns out she didn't even need it. The man in HR forgot to check it as one of the things she did not need to show! She was already too through with them for waiting until the last minute to tell her what she needed to bring. She was supposed to start today. She is not happy with the level of incompetence she has encountered already, but needs the job.

I was going to mention EFT tapping also, @Pepper ! It is one of those things that just seems strange until you try it. I have used it for anxiety attacks and it helps me, too.
One day, we were going to the fitness center and the truck radiator over heated. It was closer to go to the gym than to go back home, so we did that; but I was so stressed out about the truck engine being ruined and us being stranded there that i could not even relax and swim.
Finally, i just went over to the corner of the pool and tried the tapping sequence, and it totally relaxed me to where i could swim and enjoy it.
(it turned out the radiator was low, and after Mr. Bobby refilled it, we went home with no further problems)
Here is a short video with Nick Ortner that explains tapping really well in an easy demonstration about how it works.

 
I went to Publix and got 10 package 7.5 oz Canada Dry, 2 for one, some bananas and some frozen biscuits. The prices are going higher and higher so I have to take advantage of the sales.

I am fixing some soup and biscuits for dinner. I wish I had those strawberries that Hawkdon fixed. It will be apple pie and ice cream for dessert.

Have a nice evening, everyone.
 
On my early walk at 7 walked to convient store to buy local paper for Connie &myself. The temp was 64 as I walked back around the building The local weather forecasters said last night'scattered showers' they never materialized here in Buffalo. On my mid morning stroll around 10:15 walked 2 long blocks, was warm temp was 75. When I got back I changed into shorts. After lunch & nap,I took another walk around the building temp was 81,I've had my exercise for the day,taking full advantage of this beautiful weather
I'm having dinner tonight in dining room at 5:30 with Connie, Father Bob{ retired Catholic priest} Gene&JIm our weekly get together,always enjoy their company and good conversation

just a question Hawkie.... do you eat much sugar ?.. I ask because I find if I eat sugar, like sweets , cakes etc... The pain in the OA in my fingers is off the scale within a few hours . I just wondered if you do eat a lot of sugar, if it might be worth you cutting back, and seeing if you get some pain relief...
 
My morning routine is walking from bathroom into living room.
and straight to front door, I open the door to look outside, then
shut it and go to kitchen...in view of recent BEAR sightings I feel
I should change that routine, I can look at my 32inch security screen to see whats going on !!!

you caugth me HD i eat tons of sugar thru sweet stuff from the grocer........me bad boy....

well if you could possibly just as an experiment cut that sugar by at least 3/4 if not right out for just a week,... and see if your pain level drops... because I have a theory borne out by experience ( and I love sugar) that sugar really causes seriously inflammatory pain...
 
A recurring theme at the moment. Stuck in A&E with Mum again. She's been vomiting for the last 3 hours. They say it may be just a stomach bug - or it could be the beginning of the end. Still - sat in A&E with the psychos and drunks 🤷‍♂️
