What's on your agenda for today?

Cos = Costume. She performs at cosplay conventions, like ComicCon, WizardCon, SacAnime. Her "job" is to be available for photographers, interact with convention attendees, and occasionally help at sales counters. She's a pretty popular player because she is quite beautiful, is 6'1", and built like an amazon...basically, she looks like a female comic book illustration.

View attachment 25985This is her at a SacAnime event, as a gaming character called Chun Li.

Oh, she is pretty! That sounds like a fun job. My daughter may have seen your DIL at ComiCon, if she's went to the one in San Diego. She and her family go every year. A couple years ago her husband was on one of the panels there. I've never been but she showed me the building at San Diego one night and I was astounded at how large it is.

Annie, how did the visa trip go? You were wise to take a kindle and smart phone. :) I take a book with me everywhere I go.

Just 9 am here (Friday), so we'll go later. It's mobbed first thing in the morning. Need to get photos first. I can entertain myself for hours on my phone - SF, FB, etc etc. Got really good data package here on my phone - 4G.
 
We got to the immigration office at 11:15 (45 minutes before they close for lunch). We were done by 11:45!! Amazing. It looks much more organised than last winter. They have an area with shaded table and chairs for filling out forms. We got to Thailand with a 60 day tourist visa we got from a Thai consulate at home. Had to extend for 30 more days. Easy.
 
Oh, goody. We get to stay a while longer...legally...and will miss the worst of the winter weather here.

Speaking of winter weather, we may or may not get some of The Big Blow. Right now it's 44F and raining but might change to freezing rain about mid-afternoon, then sNOw early this evening. Or not. Glad I don't have to go anywhere, especially not anywhere near a grocery store.

I stayed in my jammies ALL DAY yesterday. Not to worry, it won't become a habit. Today is a day to get dressed, do laundry, tidy up my teeny tiny homestead and stuff.

Yep, legally. I'd hate to pay a huge fine for overstaying. Then 'we' couldn't come back next winter!

That's okay to stay in your jammies, just make sure you don't wear them to do shopping. :D Hope the storm misses you.
 
....today, I'm going to the neighboring town to pick up my brand new hearing aid that has been in the repair shop...:rolleyes:...have lunch and have my car cleaned...as there is a super duper hand car wash there.
 
Good grief. I've done it again. I guess I must read, then move on to read something else, post on the "something else" and figure I've posted everywhere. Duh.

Our part of the "storm" is over and done with. Sunny yesterday but kind of chilly. Today is sunny and the temp will probably top out at about 60. Suits me. They can keep the part of the forecast that calls for a possibility of sNOw Wednesday night and Thursday.

Jackie, a brand new hearing aid that was in the repair shop? That doesn't sound promising! Hope it's all better now.
 
Well, I guess I'm living life in the fast lane, too! My regular Orkin man has come and gone (I have a thing about bugs), and this afternoon I have to take sweet Bonnie to the vet for her checkup and whatever shots she needs to have to be current. She got her last ones in the shelter last January, and vet says the rabies one was only for one year. Actually Bonnie and I like going to the vet's office -- Bonnie gets treated like a queen and I enjoy visiting with my wonderful vet and her friendly staff and all the other doggies. I've gone to the same vet for so long that they're all like old friends.
 
Yes, hearing aid is working fine now, Georgia, thanks for asking.

Butterfly, its great that you have a vet that you like so well, I've had mine for about 5 years, he is good, only thing he is 30 miles away.

Today I've been mulching piles of leaves and putting them on flower beds, its a nice warm day here.
 
It's so pleasant outdoors today that I drank my coffee on the patio to take advantage before the rain and cooler weather start before turning warm again by the weekend.

Ameriscot has plans for *us* today, but I don't know exactly what adventure she has in mind for *us*!

*We* had a lovely dinner at a coastal restaurant and watched the sun set. :)
 
It's 10:40 pm now so I'll give my agenda for tomorrow. My husband and I HOPE we get to stay home. Every day since we've gotten home from our daughter's we've had to go somewhere and do this or that and then go back the next day because we forgot something. At lest I got some physical exercise today as we saw a free wood sign by a grape vineyard. My husband and brother both took trailers over to load it up for our outdoor fires. I helped my brother since he has trouble walking and it seems like, breathing too. We loaded a car trailer half full in the time my husband loaded another trailer all by himself. Then he came and helped us. :) Grape wood grows in these big vines and then they tangle together and it's real hard to get them out of the pile and loaded and then when you get home, hard to unload.

So tomorrow (Weds) I hope to box up the books I've taken off bookshelves and stacked around the house, and get them into my husband's shop until one son and one grandson can go through them. Then I'll get rid of the rest. I had to take one tall book case out of our bed room to get the king size bed to fit. I still have 5 other book shelves so I will be keeping a lot. I've been in a mood to get rid of stuff so a lot of other stuff is going too. I'll probably have a yard sale as soon as the warmer weather gets here. I'm trying to get a lot done before we have to go back to LA in early Feb.
 
Went to the gym this morning. Georgia, you can work harder than that! Tsk Tsk.

Coffee, shopping, more souvenir shopping for family whilst hubby drank beer in an Aussie bar. Maybe swim in pool then dinner.
 
I didn't like going to the gym with all those long-legged hardbods. Please don't make me go there again:(

I'm so excited. Six months of relative inactivity and general uselessness is taking its toll, but tomorrow I get to go to work!

Well, at this wee gym here I'm usually all by myself. But in my gym at home many are not in great shape but they are trying. The time I go it's usually my age or older.

So, where do you get to work??
 
The gyms in or near our neighborhood are populated by Barbies and Kens:(

I agreed to go back to work for a favored client (who has the best house and the best dog) because The New Me was (1) a slacker and (2) kept bringing in "helpers". It was pure happenstance that the client learned about the helpers, and she probably wouldn't have minded had she been asked. Combined with a few annoying things like not emptying the vacuum canister or carrying out the trash when she was done and one not-so-minor thing...not cleaning or polishing the hardwood floors...it was the last straw. It's been six months since the hardwood has been tended to except to be Swiffered.

A couple have fired her, one because she didn't think she should pay her only to have to go behind her and clean everything that was neglected. Most of the other former clients have put up with The New Me because cleaning ladies apparently are really hard to find.

Anyway, the client has been sworn to secrecy because if the other former clients who use the same New Me hear of it (we all live in close proximity and some are mutual friends), they'll probably be trying to sweet talk me into coming back. I don't wanna go back to the others, not that I don't like them just fine, but for this one? Sure! She's the one I dog sit for from time to time and who's become a good friend over the years.

I'm just looking forward to having a purpose every other Friday. Oh, and the money isn't bad, either:)
 
It's here, it's finally here! Today's the day I get to go to work, visit with my favorite dog and get paid for it!

Back later, kids. Y'all behave while I'm gone, k?
 
TODAY IS THE DAY!!! I'm almost.. (read completely) embarrassed to admit this, but today is the day hubby and I will trade in our FLIP PHONES... and march boldly into the SMART phone world.. Can you believe it? Me neither...
