What's on your agenda for today?

I didn't do much today. My husband and brother built a roof addition over the back of one of the car ports. So at lest someone got something accomplished around here. I did go through 2 2 drawer file cabinets awhile back and condensed it down into one file cabinet with 2 drawers. I put the extra one on the porch so get rid of. So today my big deal was to take a few of the files I didn't want to toss (old tax papers and old medical records etc) but didn't need in the house and put them in a cardboard box and drug the box out the back door and down 4 steps and put it into my wagon and then pulled it about 15 feet to my storage shed, then I got my husband to lift into the shed for me. Then I took a nap. I'm sure all of you could have gotten along just fine without my exciting news. :) Tomorrow we are going down to the big city to a place that makes grape trays, pallets etc and get some kindling wood for our fires. We only have to pay $10 a bin so that isn't bad.

 

I haven't really done much yet, will, be jumping into the shower soon to head out to my doc. YAY! Fun as usual. I did download a few audi- books hopefully one of them will keep my mind from wanting to choke the doc and staff for leaving sitting in the exam room for 30+ minutes before an actual exam. :mad:. :D.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.
 
I am now accepting pats on the back, applause and congratulations for having cleaned another kitchen cupboard yesterday. Thank you very much:)

Am I the only person who doesn't freak about an MRI? They have never bothered me. Maybe I'm part cat and like enclosed spaces.

AprilT, I hope you were able to restrain yourself and that your doctor and the staff are fine today.
 

What? Greeneyes, you posted and neglected kudos for me? What's up with that? I need positive reinforcement and lots of it. There are more cupboards to do, dammit.

I could probably make money by promising to stay offline:)

Georgia, you are too funny. :D It's more the sounds than the closed space really I think or possibly the combination, those sounds are just freaky like being in some syfy odyssey.

I was pleasantly surprised my wait in the exam room was less than 15 minutes. Next appointment scheduled for next week and spinal epidural, for facet arthritis, bulge, narrowing disc protrusion leakage nonsense mumbo jumbo, but, I'm canceling the appointment. I recall having this procedure before and frankly, I'm not so sure it isn't what compounded some of my issues over the last couple of years after I had it a few years ago, I also had one with pregnancy and my periods were never the same. Prior to getting that epidural during pregnancy my cramps and other issues were minor, after the injection, during delivering and every period thereafter was a nightmare.


Anyway, after coming home and having some time to do some more reading up on the procedure, I've decided, though the risk may be minor for some people, it's just not worth it considering what I have to deal with now, I'll talk with my doctor and try something else including the physical therapy and getting more serious about losing more weight.

I'm a two day old newbie here and don't know everything like giving kudos or knowing everyone's personality on here yet. I'd get a fulltime job but I am disabled...so I babysit my grandkids fulltime to help my daughter out.
 
Two days old? My goodness, you ARE a newbie. That's okay, at one time we were all two days old! LOL

I'm not disabled, merely tired. I retired for the fourth time last summer. It never seems to "take" though, and I just got sweet-talked into going back to work for a favored former client.

I was hoping to win the Powerball lottery just so that the headlines would read "Retired Cleaning Fairy Wins Big!" Maybe I'd have won if I'd bought a ticket? I think that's how it works.

AprilT, I'm thinking bowing out on that procedure is probably a good decision for you given your past experiences. Come to think of it, there have been a couple of times when a doctor has proposed a surgical remedy for me when PT was another choice. PT has worked well:)

I could call ahead and request a sedative, I believe the MRI is only going to take about 20 minutes which doesn't seem too bad. My sister had a test on her heart (angiogram?) where she had to lie still afterwards for 4 hours - horrors.

My daughter had that test where she had to lay still for 4 hours. She told me the reason was, if you move you can (or will) get the worse headache you've ever had. It could have been a heart test I don't recall.

Georgia, when you are finished with your cupboards please come out here and help me with mine. I'm too short to even reach the second shelves, I have to get my grand kids to help me. :)
 
We got up at 5:45 this morning and went for a bike ride at 6. Little traffic and cool air so very pleasant. Stopped to look at the sunrise and there were 4 Buddhist monks there as well. Went shopping and stopped for cappuccinos. Came home. Walked to lunch. Jumped in the pool to cool off. Going to ride our bikes to dinner. We can get Netflix here so will continue watching 'Wentworth' which we are totally hooked on!

Sitting in the kitchen, at my new laptop, finding my way around Windows 10 while a nice gentleman is fitting a new front door. The old one was wooden and had swollen and I've not been able to use it for several weeks. Also listening to a cd of Sam Smith...

It's so nice to have a laptop with a bit of speed, taken me a long long time to save for this. My old one was handed down to me and was painfully slow. I'm a happy bunny now.
 
Vicky, you go right ahead and lounge around but first...load up on chocolate to keep within arm's reach.

Ameriscot, I enjoyed *our* bike ride, but it sure does get hot! The pool beckons...

It's raining here and going to get cold again. How many days until spring?

Yep, it can get very hot. Very little breeze today and quite humid. I changed clothes 3 times and had 3 showers! Sometimes snow sounds good.....but not for long.
 
Trying to rest up got a 7am wakeup call from the ride service to tell me they were outside wating, which was suppose to be for 7 pm tonight. Completed disrupted my sleep bad enough I didn't fall asleep till after 2 am. :mad:

Anyway, I have another theme party to attend with my meetup group, this one is called "Animal House". :D We're all dressing in amimal prints for the event, it should be fun as usual, last even was "Back to Prom", it was a blast.:)

This is one of the events I may attend in march, they have it every year, My meetup group Host helps with this one as well.

 
Today, I learned a new "skill". We noticed a bit of water on the bathroom floor in the master bath yesterday, and it looked like the tank to stool seal was leaking. I shut it down, and went to the hardware store and bought some parts. Today, I took it all apart, and replaced all the seals and bolts, etc., and it looks like it might be fixed. Sooo...for about $20 in parts, and a couple of hours labor, I may have saved myself a bunch of money by Not having to call in a plumber. The only hard part of the job was lifting the heavy ceramic stool asm. back in place without damaging the new seal. Now, if the other two bathrooms every have a leak, I am Now Trained. Ahhh....the joys of home ownership...always something to do.
 
Freezing wind came up while I was out walking Bonnie today. When we started it was nippy, but OK as we moved along smartly. Then that wind came up and by the time we got home I felt like my nose was going to fall off from being so cold and my face felt like a slab of wood. Bonnie, however had a great time -- of course her face has fur on it Fooey on the cold. I'm already sick and tired of it.
 
Brutal cold today... with actual temps in the single digets and windchill number well below Zero.... need to make a quick run to Walmart... but mostly will be home doing laundry and making a big pot of ham hock soup...

The first time I did this Don, I didn't replace the seal. Used the old one. Needless to say, did the job over.
 
Well, at least I was home long before the tornado hit where I was last night, though it was still very nearby a few minutes. All night my phone kept going off with warnings to take cover; I was so tired that all I did was envision getting up and gathering what I needed and taking cover before falling right back to sleep before the next time my phone started buzing, warning,take shelter.
 
Stay safe all those in Florida. We have much frost on the pumpkin this morning, but the sun in creeping up over the trees.

I had lunch with my former classmates yesterday, it was such fun, glad I made the effort to get out.

Everyone have a great Sunday.
 
Today is actually going to be a "rest" day for me - the laundromat, paperwork,clean the floors, mend a few clothing items.
It may not look like rest, but compared to a normal day like yesterday (I went to work [employment-which was quite a physical day - had to go up and down a
flight of stairs about 20 times],went grocery shopping for this next week, made chicken quesadillas and way too hot chili (put in too much red pepper), made oatmeal chocolate chip
cookies, made "granola bars" to take to work this next week, cleaned up all the mess I made in the kitchen, got on my laptop and watched a movie on Netflex
and then went to sleep) today is rest. I might bathe my dog too - maybe.
Because I work a job I usually spend my one or two days off a week doing most of the chores - cleaning, cooking, errands, sewing, paperwork ....etc.
I do hope ya'll have some fun today.

Well done! I'm always grateful my hubby can fix anything in the house. It's saved us thousands and thousands!!
 
Sunday is nearly over for me - it's 9pm. This morning I dropped hubby at church and I went to the mall to shop and to renew my 30 day package on my phone. Stopped for lunch on the way to find the pier we'll need to get to next month when we take a 'holiday inside a holiday' and go to a small island for 3 nights for my birthday. Walked to dinner for some extra exercise.
