How are you today?

Well, Happy Birthday & Happy Halloween (for tomorrow!) ~

I LOVE the ice cream at a restaurant named Bob's Big Boy ... their shakes are amazing!!! So, I have it about 3 times a month. I believe, it's always OK to treat ourselves now and then.

Aw, thanks, @CaliS. 🤗

Hey, I remember Bob's Big Boy! I from Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, and we used to go there. They had great fries too. :)
 

Well, I've woken way too early again, but otherwise not too bad, all things considered. :)

It's going to be a nice day: fun cake, cards with my guys, relaxing and maybe skipping exercises today if I can make myself do that. It would actually be good to give my body a rest, but I get a little obsessive about it and need to check it, occasionally.

Hope everyone is feeling good today and has a Happy Halloween!

Exhausted. Have not slept at all today. Suppose my system all whacked out from anesthesia. Bypass lasted over seven hours. WOW. I’ll sleep when things get more normal again.
Also overwhelmed with Gratitude I was granted yet another chance.
Excited by Hope.

Hope the surgery on your toe goes well today @Pepper ❤️

You will obviously need to rest and give yourself time to recover. You have been through a lot but now you can look forward to happier days x
 
Feeling kinda meh today. I dunno why.

There's really nothing interesting to do and nowhere to go. I need an attitude adjustment, but can't remember where I left my oscillating multi-tool.

ETA: Ennui! I knew there was a word for it. I'm suffering from a severe and debillitating case of ennui. Maybe there's a 12-step group for that.

I haven’t logged In for quite a few days , I’ve been very busy having major clean out in the kitchen / I had a thing about good quality casserole/ glass Ware for making quiche / nice glasses / dishes in my 40’s and 50’s and if I seen one I knew were fairly expensive to buy, in shops in a op shop I couldn’t just walk away and leave it there ,


my kitchen cupboards were not what you’d call, overflowing ..everything had a place , but I’ve got to the where I only use about 2 Corning ware dishes so it was time to declutter a bit

my neighbour who’s 21 years younger then me got a great haul of Corning ware / glass dishes , her son and DIL have just had a new home built next to them so the Neighbours DIL got a pick of the crop as well before taking the “ scraps “ to the op shop today

Along with a huge candy striped bag of clothing ( mostly new or very little worn items )

Op,shops in Australia are now charging quite a bit for quality ceramic / and Corning ware cookware .

Whats happened to @Paulina

Its supposed to be spring here …..it’s been freezing 🥶 the last few days days very similar to winter temps wet and very windy

Hope everyone’s well ….as I’m had a few sniffles due to very cold weather I even went so far to do a covid test …as we’ve never had it ..thank goodness…but the test came back negative…

Today, I went out for breakfast. 🍳🥓🥐 Then I voted, hit the liquor store, and stopped at a grocery store for one item that they carry. From there I went to Target looking for bins of a certain size, which I didn't find. Then I headed to Marshalls, hoping to find the bins, but got skunked again. However, I managed to purchase socks, two pairs of fleece-lined leggings, two pairs of shoes, two bottles of OPI nail polish, dulce de leche coffee, Italian dark chocolate pistachio and caramel cream chocolates, and Italian natural fruit gelée candies. 😋

From there, I headed to another grocery store to do my regular shopping before stopping at the Italian market for an arugula and lentil salad. Finally, I got home. Whew, I was pooped. I made dinner and then fell asleep in front of the TV. 😴📺

So, today was actually yesterday because I woke up a little while ago and just posted this. Now I'm going back to sleep. I'd say I'll see you tomorrow, but it's already today, so never mind. 🥴

We know Paulina has been having problems with her son, so that might be why we haven't seen her.

Glad you tested negative for Covid! :)
 
Yesterday, we went out for lunch and spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and just watching the World go by.

I don't know what I want to do today. This week, I want to visit a friend who is alone and appreciates some company but, there is also a cupboard which I really want to sort out; it is full of 'just in case' stuff, the sort of things which you don't need but, might one day come in handy. I guess the third alternative is to just take another day off and think about it ;)

Tomorrow is Bonfire night. We haven't heard any fireworks yet but, there are some organised events going on. Later in the month there are, so far, two local Christmas tree events - one is the annual lighting up and the other is an outdoor carol service. I like going to these things, it all adds to the lead up to Christmas and the end of another year.

Have a good day everyone :)
 
I'm up and fine so far! Stayed in bed until 8am. It must be a leftover from DST or something?

DGD had been looking for a WFH job for a week or two ever since her docs pronounced her well and fit after her spinal surgeries. All that's left now is PT, which she'll start soon. Anyway...she got a job and is thrilled to pieces. She's a pharmacy tech. Job pays more than the one she had before she had to go on disability almost two years ago.

We had a really nice time with our Dia de los Muertos remembrance yesterday. Had good food and shared memories over cards.

Today is going well, I'm happy to report. Husband is off, son is out and about and we are enjoying a relaxed day together. I'll probably hang out with boyfriend a bit later in the day. So you know, all good from here. :)

Hope everyone is feeling good and having a nice day.

I spoke too soon. That was Sunday night. Last night, I was awake half the night and ended up sleeping too late. It throws my whole day off.

I listen to podcasts to distract me. There are two types that help me. One is something that is the type that is sort of interesting and distracts me from my busy thoughts. The other is Sleep Magic. She’s a hypnotherapist. There are a few others like this one.

As a last resort I take a small amount of a prescription drug.
