How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2026....

Now 11:30am PDT. Weather forecast all this week for today Saturday had been mostly sunny, warm, light winds. But a tricky cut-off low has been off our coast for days that is always difficult to forecast and instead of staying up in the Pacific Northwest, unexpectedly just moved south overnight and strengthened. Instead, there are showers in Southern California, snow showers in the Sierra Nevada, and totally cloud cool flow across this SF Bay Area. So meteorologists got this day very wrong. 60F outside right now.

Had another good session at our SJM Rose Garden yesterday, and have already processes the few images. So this morning was back to HTML coding and knocked off my trip 4 weeks ago. Now see 24 remaining Rose images left, that I'll continue working on tomorrow. For today, what reads like a good Classic Rock cover band is playing for free outdoors this afternoon in downtown SJ that I'll be leaving for in about 20 minutes. So am primed for much fun and exercise with my lively, pendulum, shuffle, running man, dancing.
 
Tonight dinner was courtesy of my generous neighbour. a Big bowl of Italian wedding soup.. and fried potatoes...

usually they come quite late by which time Ive had dinner because i never know when they're going to come round with food... but tonight she timed it perfectly.. :D the dinner I was batch cooking was only minutes away from being ready.... and I was going to have a ladle of that for dinner..Instead I had this delicious pork Italian wedding soup.

There was so much, that when I finished eating, there was still enough to feed another 2 people.. so I've put it in the fridge for tomorrow

I've cleared up.. the kitchen is sparkling once more.. and now I'm sitting here with a cup of hot tea and an even hotter Heatpad on my back !

Yup ,just where we. thought it was.
So we went to only store that has an assortment of things we use. OLLY"S

Bought a container of them.

Stopped at Eat & Park for lunch,,, both of us pleased with our meals.
Back to Rural King,,picked up dogie treats.
Hubby found some oil at a good price.

Home to settle in,, rainy day, in PA.
 
I had an eventful day! As I was about to get into the shower this morning, I leaned down to place my shower shoes so I could step right in them and must've lost my balance. I fell on the floor and knocked over Deja's fountain. So now I'm laying on the wet floor in my birthday suit! My son heard the bang-clang and called out "Are you alright?!" I told him I had fallen but he couldn't come in because I had nothing on. I also told him I wasn't hurt. He ignored that and came to the door with his eyes closed and hand extended.

Even with his help, I had a little trouble getting up because it was wet and slippery. I managed to get my foot into my (rubber) slipper, which was also wet and used that as leverage. I told him I needed an arm, not a hand. He wound up extending an arm and a hand on the other side. Blessedly, I didn't get a bump nor bruise (except maybe my ego). :LOL: I'm sure the towel I'd doubled and placed on the floor cushioned the fall a bit.

I had a lab appointment scheduled for 9:30 and Honorary Son #3 was picking me up at 9:00. I'm glad I started getting ready a little early, that my son was still home and that I wasn't hurt, because it would have caused a conundrum for my son, who was getting ready to go pick up his wife from the airport. Thankfully, I'm still not feeling the affects of the fall.

We got to the lab a few minutes early. I was called in (and they do it on time), by the young lady who took care of me last time and we were having a nice chat. Ron walked by and I hailed him, because he had to help her last time. Good thing I did. Even though I drank as much water as I could stand before going and he went into my one good arm vein, I heard the dreaded words "Her blood is not flowing".

I'm glad he didn't have to stick me twice because I really hate that. This time he used the technic of sliding the butterfly back just a bit, then lifting it slightly. He took an extra tube of blood in case, because he felt the first partial tube (before his adjustments) would hemolyze. We were back home by 10:22 and the lab is in another town.

This afternoon, my son brought my DIL and new (step) granddaughter over for a visit. I thought it was sweet that DIL wanted to get to see me amidst their busy schedule. The three of them were going to a wedding this evening and had to go back to the hotel to change. She and her daughter are flying back to N.C. tomorrow morning. We had a fun, pleasant visit. I ate an early dessert and took a nap after they left.

When I woke up, it was time to get ready to go sit with HS#3 during his broadcast. For the first time in a long time, we talked for a little more than an hour after it was over. He usually visits his father right after the show. As Eryka Badu sang "What a day...what a day!"

Good morning all..from yet another sunny day here... 🌞🌞

I was just looking out the windows, and admiring my own gardening work... it's really actually very nice looking out there ... and I'm patting myself on the back despite the fact I gave myself a horrible backache doing it..lol... It's always a big job getting the garden back to normal after winter...

I need to learn to pace myself tho'.... it's hard because I'm typical Aries, I like to start and finish jobs quickly and not drag them out..I lose patience with things if I procrastinate, and then they don't get done..


I won't do any heavy jobs today...just let my back rest today... 🌼

Have the best Sunday you can folks...🌷🌺
 
Morning all, was awaken by the birdies chirping, at 5am rolled over went back to sleep until 6:30. On my early walk at 6:50,sun was out as I strolled around the building complex before breakfast
My plans today, friend, Marcia picking me& neighbor, Bill up to go to our 10:30 service, 1st time in 2 weeks I'll be there. Afterwards, she'll drop us off as we head to the dining room for brunch at noon. I called in the reservation this morning before my walk
The rest of my day , talk with my brother JOhn& thank him again for coming home with eldest son, Jay buying last Sun's Buffalo Sabres playoff tickets so we could go with Marcia&hubby Dave, son Alexei,exciting game as the team came from behind to win, hope to get another walk in,read my book
Everybody have a great day
 
Good morning (afternoon), everyone. I have a busy day of work ahead of me, a long, complicated book chapter (Turkey), and a long, complicated journal article (China). I would be in better shape, but I've been procrastinating and being lazy!

Today is supposed to start off sunny but then get rainy, so I'm hoping to pop out for a quick outdoors walk before that happens.

@seadoug, I had no idea Cyndi Lauper wrote Kinky Boots; that's interesting. She also sang the intro song to the TV show Pee Wee's Playhouse, something I didn't know for years, although after learning that I was amazed I hadn't figured it out.

I'd better get to it. My older daughter and her family are driving back to North Dakota from Iowa later today. I'm always a bit anxious until I hear they have arrived safely. She texted last week to say they had decided to drive through the night on the way down to Iowa, so that made me really anxious (e.g., in the dark, with her husband tired after a day of work, other drivers).

I hope everyone is well. :coffee:
 
Good afternoon to everyone. I had a post for this morning and forgot to post it. It just said hotter today with no rain.

My delivery from Walmart was delayed but a nice older woman delivered so it was okay.

I will wish you all to stay well and enjoy today. :)
 
Well after I said I wouldn't do it today..I lied..clearly... because I did go out and screw the 6 feet edging plnks to each other with the metal mending plates using an electric drill ... It took me far quicker than I was expecting ... and so now the Nocturnal animals can't break the garden border edging down now...

In the meantime, My big Choisya ( Mexican orange blossom)...has flowered it's pretty little white flowers...
