The cat urinated on the rug. That's a new thing. I'm not sure what's worse-the urine or the stuff to cover it up.
The toilet got blocked and over flowed.
The propane gas guy filled my tank, left a bill for $1,108. Yeah a new high.
2017 continued right where 2016 left off. All systems, AOK

Fairly uneventful today. Bank, lunch out, a coffee stop and right now, eating a Pizza Hut delivered pizza. Tv later and bedtime.

I finally decided to "Semi" retire. I have put in to reduce my hours to just 24 a week. I will be working every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday... and off the other 4... Not bad.. I just can't quit cold turkey.
Oh boy, sounds like you've had quite a day! I hope things will go better for you.
Sounds like one of my days Pappy! I love pizza! Haven't had Pizza Hut in quite awhile.
Congrats on your semi-retirement QS. I hope it works out well for you.

How are you doing today, Falcon. Been thinking about you and hope you're on the mend.
Yesterday, went to bank and stopped for a couple things at Publix.
Next Tuesday, I have an appointment at the VA hospital, in Orlando, to check out my lungs and see if there might be a better med I should be taking. Never been there, so should be interesting. It's a brand new hospital.

Since the new year began, I've started anew on losing some of the weight I gained in 2016. I'm back to using the My Fitness Pal app to track my calories and exercise. So far so good. Have made a commitment to work out five days per week and have already been three days this week. I'm no longer working at the law firm, pending a new talk with them about a role for 2017 that would allow me to earn some extra money while allowing me to keep getting my pension flowing each month. Have started looking into whether to begin collecting social security when I hit 62 this year.
Still dealing with my wife's nerve-related leg pain, which puts a crimp into travel plans until we get it sorted out. In the meantime I'll be starting to work with hospice patients. Was to have started tomorrow, but got a call from the coordinator yesterday telling me that the gentleman passed away from his lung cancer sooner than expected. They will match me up with someone in the week ahead.

I hope your appointment at the new VA hospital goes well Pappy.
Best wishes for the weight loss and social security Bob.

Sounds like a truly lovely day, Fuzzy. I'm dealing with plumbing issues, too -- what a joy.
Just out of curiosity, how long will that much propane last you? That's a lot of money!

So sorry to read of a bad start to the year for most of you.
Here it has been unbearably hot, but fortunately some rain and the last two days have been comfortable.
January is down time in Australia with all the regular fixtures in abeyance, so time to catch up and prepare,
new music, new this and that for the entertaining in the nursing homes and the group we run.
All the best,
Jan

My New Year has started fairly good. as I am newish here I will put you in the picture. I have mentioned this in passing but so you all know. My husband of 57 years has gone into permanent care with late stage Alhzeimers and I have taken it very badly, I was 16 when I married him so it is very hard, anyway it is what it is.
My daughter, my son in law and myself live together but not really. It is a big house 5 bedrooms and has a 3 bedroomed suite too which I have been in for 4 years sadly it has stairs so now those are becoming a problem I have had to leave the main house. We had a carriage house.. cottage,, built on the property about 4 1/2 years ago for my SIL mother but sadly she didn't get strong enough after some health problems to live in it so it has stood empty. I have changed it a bit although new, it now suits me and I moved in a week or so before Christmas, it is very nice and easyish to keep nice.
So my life has had some major changes this last year and after the move I am trying to get back on track. I live there with my two babies, Chihuahuas called Florence and Maisie. Before the move I had become a bit of a hermit, no depression or anything like that but just not used to going out alone . and my appetite had gone as I wasn't doing the same cooking,, anyway I am working on both of those. I am wonning with the food, my sleeping is better but I need to keep going with the outings.. So a thumbnail of where I am in life!!
Ruth Anne I had some pain treatments in my spine a few years ago where they nuked the nerve endings, it gave good relief for about 18 months but I didn't re do ir.
Falcon I am sorry to hear about you mini stroke , take care and I wish you well getting over it quickly.
Fuzzybuddy you day sound s a bit familiar, I do so hope the next few days are full of joy to make up for it.
Summer in Australia, my brother lives in Melbourne, I have never been but still hope to one day.
Good luck with the weight loss Bob and good wishes to your wife for her leg pain.
I think that is a good start..
Oh I have a special day coming up on Wednesday, I will tell you all about it after it happens
Oh and by the way, my typing is lousy due to pain in my arms , I have to hurry when sitting at the desk, I don't stop to correct spelling or grammar anymore otherwise I would never get anything posted.. hope it is understandable for you. My English is good but my typing is a big issue for me now. It is what it is.

That must have been scary while it was happening. Hope your vision clears up quickly.
And seven days later, are you feeling better Ruthanne? Hope your GP was able to help you with the discomfort that you were feeling the day you started this thread. My daughter has back and neck pain too, so I'm sitting here at 6:30 at her house so that I can look after the grandkids while she takes a trip to a chiropractor that is a four hour drive from her place. I hope you don't have to go that far to get relief!
Reading through people problems with their furnaces, their plumbing, and slow rural internet speed makes me glad that we finally moved to an apartment. No snow clearing, no furnace problems, landlord takes care of the plumbing.....

5 or 6 Mbps !!! We dream of a miracle like that. We get a carrier pigeon every day if the weather is good. I have to write out my messages, attach them to the pigeon, it flies to the nearest big telephone exchange and the message is typed into the internet. The upside of living here includes a fairly low cost of living, very low crime rate and beautiful countryside.
I'm limping around at the minute with a pain and swelling in my right knee. Not sure if I've just injured it or it's a touch of gout. It's a bit better today, but I'm taking it easy.

In the first week of the New Year I was at the gym four days, I'm eating healthier than I have in quite a while and I've dropped over four pounds. So, I'm off to a good start. In fact, will be heading to the gym (in 5° F cold) in a little bit.

Well here is something . I moved to Canada 40 years ago on the 6th January and finally took out citizenship on the 11th , just last week.. life gets in the way seems a bit lame but it is true!!
Congratulations on becoming a Canadian citizen! It's never too late to do the things we meant to do.

We're oscillating back and forth from cold to warm weather here in NC. Friday my breathing was horrible and my ankles hated me walking so I just laid around mostly thinking about the food I needed go do something with while still fresh. I hate when I let some chicken go too long before cooking it and it winding up in the trash. Yesterday I started the day off with some aspirin and a mild pain pill and felt great all day. Got a huge pack of chicken breasts baked and in the freezer and some burger patties made up too. All the washing done and things out of place put away. But it hit 75f so maybe that lifted my spirits a bunch and my breathing was as good as it ever is. I'm a night person so I'll be up for another hour or so. Y'all take it easy.

Was falling asleep in my chair watching tv last night. Got up about 10 pm and went to bed. Bam....wide awake!!!!! So, I put in my earbud and listened to the talk shows...all night. I could not sleep...period. Damn, I hate when that happens.
