What's on your agenda for today?

We took the truck in today because the air conditioning was on the fritz. The fritz is going to cost $1700 to un-fritz. Tomorrow, we're going to mourn the loss of $1700. That's a lot of fritz.

Jiminy! That's a lot of dough! Just wondering, none of my business, really; did you get more than one cost proposal? imp

LOL, April. I went to the mall here in my slippers one day!



Georgia, thanks. I'm 12 hours ahead of you.

QS, well done!

Been to the gym. I get there when it opens at 7. Going to the mall shortly to have a coffee then do our shopping. Don't know what we'll do after that. Might go out in the kayak late in the afternoon.

I'm almost certain I've done that at least once as well. :D

I'm sure it didn't seem so when you first discovered it, but...that is too funny. I did that once with a pair of heels that I was wearing to work. Exactly the same style but one black and one navy blue. I was mortified!

Oh and correction on the I noticed it after my first stop, I had been to the library prior to that appointment, so a whole other host of others possibly had the pleasure of seeing my new fashion trend. I was so humored, I had snapped a couple of pictures while I was at the bus stop where I first realized my error. View attachment 25386 View attachment 25387
 

April, I wear these fuzzy slip on plantar fasciitis support slippers in the house like a good girl. They don't feel much different than my PF sandals although they have straps in the back. Got to the mall about a month ago and realized my feet felt a bit warm. Looked down and ack!!!
 
Been up since 2:00 this morning, unable to fall back to sleep, so got out of bed at 3 AM and stayed up. Hit the gym at 6:00 for an hour workout. Time for a shower and then to log on to work for the day.

That's pretty funny. :laugh: At least we can laugh at ourselves even if at first we felt horrified. If anyone would have said anything, I just would have replied with, "Having one of those days." And grinned. :smug1:
 
Teen girls don't wear matching sox anymore. It's just not done. So we can wear shoes that don't match, right? The jury is still out on wearing slippers, though!

LOL! I think next time I'll try for the mixing of socks and different color sneakers as well, I might as well go all out. aye. :D It's funny I rarely wear socks or sneakers, except when going to physical therapy, even then I sometimes wear a sandal, but it was so cold, more so in my apt than outdoors, I didn't know how to dress, I just know I didn't want my feet to be cold. The temps dropped all the way down to the 50's overnight and were in the 60's when I left home, I even had to wear a jacket. brrrrrrrrrrr.
 
Isn't it funny that we Floridians are cold when it is in the 50's? Unless the sun comes out today I will be staying in. This weather is a beast on my ankle and hubby's back. Suppose to warm up after today so we'll get out tomorrow.
 
It's so "warm" here this morning that I drank my first cup of coffee on the patio. Warm? It's 41F. If it's actually a warm day, I can ride my new bike!

Need to be at *my* dog's house before 5:30 when her people leave for a long weekend in Vegas. Since what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, I won't know whether they have a good time or not, but *my* dog and I will have a swell time. She got lots of new toys for Christmas:)

Gotta go drink my second cup just in case the weather decides to turn...LOL

Y'all have a dandy day.
 
Feel proud of myself today. I went for an interview with Red Lobster. Not something I would have considered before. But I need gainful employment here...like yesterday. The manager was maybe 60 and really kind. I put the cards on the table. I asked him what do you think I could do here? He said it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do prep or be a line cook. I like that he wasn't like some of the corporate drones I'm used to. Nice guy and suggested they might be able to work out full time. I would make a lousy waitress and I'm not bubbly enough for hostess. But behind the scenes what the heck...A bonus, I already know how to curse in Spanish, Creole and Arabic.

Another possibility is an interview next week with KinderCare. Early childhood education is a job description that can get you student loan forgiveness. Five kids, a grandbaby and a bunch of day care centers. I've been caring for kids my whole adult life. I might end up swinging both jobs who knows. If I didn't have to eat, sleep or use the bathroom I could get so much more done ya know? Have to face the fact that hubby won't be able to work forever...might as well start now.
 
Usual temps here - sunny and mid 80's. Lots of sea breezes which we are always grateful for since it's humid here.

Doing some shopping, checking out a new store a neighbour told us about. Might take the kayak out today. And always a dip in the pool to cool off. I've bought lots of tank tops as I find having sleeves is too hot. Price at the market stalls is always about 100 baht or £2/$3.

Good luck Fur, I so hope it all works out for you.

Well folks, it is definitely time for some serious old folks home consideration, I did it again, not sneakers, this time two different black sandals. I'm on a roll this week. It wasn't like I could go back and change real quick, I was already at the bus stop, but, I realized something didn't feel right with my right foot sandal. This time, I wasn't laughing because there's no way to hide the difference in these two. I really have to stop just grabbing what I think are what I thought I put back on the shelf as two of the same pair of shoes and then just throwing them on without looking and heading out the door. For some reason I've been very disjointed this past week. I think it's time for me to take up some meditation or some other relaxation technique to slow me down or something, this can't keep happening.
 
Fur, I've got my fingers crossed for you. You're right, yanno! If you didn't have to take time out for such foolishness and rest and stuff, you'd get so much more done.

AprilT...hmm. Sounds to me like you might have more on your mind than you're even aware of. How about tying laces together when you take your shoes off or strapping one sandal to the other? Would that work?

I'm happily keeping *my* dog company while her people are gone to Vegas. She is such a love:love_heart: I did run home for a little while today and spent some quality time with Tucker, the Perfectly Good Cat. He gets very, very needy when I'm gone for any length of time, and he's learned how to practice dog eyes on me so that I feel guilty when I leave again. No idea where he learned the dog-eyes routine...

I've always put the shoes back on the shelf together, it may have been my going out of town and pulling so many pairs of shoes off the shelve back and forth trying to make selections that did me in, I tire easily. I sort of got lazy when putting things away and just haven't stacked things back in their proper places as I normally would. Your suggestion is good, I'm going to have to be more diligent and pay attention period and also not wait till the last minute to have my shoes ready to go. I might have to have the exact pair put aside stapled together waiting by the door just ready for me to step into them before I walk out the door, however with my luck, I'll end up walking out the door in my slippers. :laugh:

PS, I haven't had my iron b-12 levels checked for a while, I'm pretty sure they're off, I've not felt all that well the past week, my own fault, have missed my vitamin routine.

===========================================================================================


The dog eye routine you pooch pulls sounds hilarious.
 
Relaxing day today ,finished drying ,stewing ,making jam ..out of my 55 kg of apricots we picked of four tree
Going to work on setting up my new iPad
 
April, at least the sandals were the same colour this time! :D

Fur, good luck!

Sunday afternoon here. Went with hubby to mass this morning. There is a catholic church on the western side of island that does masses in Thai, and the 'chapel' on the eastern side of the island which does mass in English. I've gone with hubby twice to the English one, but we've been told the other church is beautiful and it's interesting to hear it in Thai. The church is beautiful and the singing was really beautiful! It's my last mass though. I haven't been a catholic for decades, but it's fine that hubby is. My very catholic sister is jumping up and down since hubby told her I'd been to mass 3 times. :p

Tried to get photos of the church after mass but some ladies indicated we all needed to get out. I barely got this shot of the altar and then took another outside.

Thailand is 95% Buddhist but is 0.46% catholic as well as other religions.
 
I just took time to catch up on all the posts here I've missed. Boy, I just can't get into this new year yet, mentally or physically. I feel like I need a good swift kick in the pants. I've barely been able to get around. Finally late on Friday I called and made an appt for Monday with the Dr. My husband says she'll give me a shot in my right knee and I'll be able to get around better and also maybe sleep through the night without pain. We'll see. The knee has been bad for over 2 years now so maybe it is time for medical attention.

I won't go back and comment on all the posts but I read them all and thought about each of you. Ameriscot, I loved the 2 photos. Are most of the people there locals or do a lot of (I started to say "Americans") folks from other countries show up in church too?

Thailand is 95% Buddhist. But of course there are a few other religions. This is the main catholic church on the island and mass is all in Thai. Except for 5 of us, they were all Thai - about 50. At the chapel where they have mass in English about half are foreign.

Tourists here are mainly European or Australian or Chinese. There are a few Americans but are definitely the minority.

There are quite a few foreigners who now live here permanently. Some are retired, some started businesses here, some married Thais.

Or, with your luck, you'd try to walk out the door with the shoes still stapled together!!!!!

I'm home again, home again, jiggety jig! It's fun to dog sit with my Big Brown Dog and the house is a comfy place to be, but I'm always glad to get home again. Bluecheese50, I know exactly how you feel.
