Have you had a great day and want to share it with us ..or do you need to offload and have a little rant about something...? :)


Come and join us here, and tell us about your day ?


So far it's mid morning here...icy hailstorms and Gale force winds...and shortly I'm going to be taking my car for it's annual MOT...Hopefully all will be well and it will pass and I won't have to shell out for any repairs but I'll let you know later..
 

Fairly average day yesterday. Nothing to rant about so far. Mama had her hair cut, in the morning and I did a few things around the house. In the afternoon, our visiting nurse, who visits once a year, came and we had a few laughs and some good advice. He told me my feet and legs were swollen and advised I wear support stockings. Ugh....Our healthcare plan provides this service and I think it's a great idea.

So, not very exciting, I know, but that was my day.
76 degrees and humid, again this morning.
 
No rants from me. So far:)

I didn't know when you were going to be back from your travels and have missed you on the agenda thread.
 

Pappy great news that you can get the support stockings covered by your HCP...if your wearing trousers rather than shorts no-one will ever know either..

Wish we had your heat ( not the humidity tho')...here it's 4 degrees...the wind feels like solid ice..brrrr!!

The Good news is that my car Passed it's MOT test again for another year ..which is great news.....in case you don't know what that is..here's a link [video]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test[/video]

The test takes an hour or 2 so we went for lunch at a country pub which has a roaring log fire...sooo cosy...then while hubs popped into the DIY superstore to look at new kitchens..I went next door and bought some new clothes for work..then to the Farm shop where they rear and slaughter all their own livestock , and I bought some Organic veal roasting joints and some Saddleback Pork sausages to freeze for Christmas lunch, not the cheapest by any means but the quality is second to none.

4.30pm now and it's already dark and temps set to be around -1 tonight... *yikes*

Hya georgia... :D I've been back a week or more.., had a fantastic time .just been very busy at work, but I thought I'd start this thread because I find I'm far more likely to have something to say in retrospect of the day rather than beforehand... :D
 
LOL...When I post there in the morning, those are my intentions. When I post there at night, I see that my list for the next day has gotten a little longer!
 
Basically optimistic yet frustrated. The insurance company is taking it's time okaying the MRI. Meanwhile I feel better in body and mind doing my usual workout, but dang it hurts afterwards. And I'm embarrassed that it's so much more visible. Going down a steep incline is challenging indeed. I mean I can't complain when there are folks waaaay more incapacitated...but wish I could get the treatment before it gets worse, or my ankle just pops off:(
 
I've been studying those curses and chants. The ones where when you hit upon the right chant and punch the straight pin into the doll the subject of your chant will e cursed and react with pain.

I totally understand where you're at Fur...I've been waiting for a CaT Scan on my back for the last 4 months..nothings' happening very fast, and every day this gets worse and worse, I know exactly what you mean about the steep incline, altho' for a different reason of course...May we both get our Scans verrry soon.. :)

BTW, Hollydolly, have you tried the broccoli-cheese soup yet? Trust me; it's delicious!

Oooh yes Georgia, I forgot to tell you, it was delicious...really scrummy, not as delicious as my broccoli and stilton of course LOL...but it was very nice.. :D

Tonight , I've been catching up with some recorded programmes on TV...I can only watch TV in small batches or I'd get totally bored and critical of the storylines ..so I record everything then make the time to sit and watch, or leave it half way through if I get impatient or if I have other things to do..
 
I dragged the artificial Christmas tree out of the garage and set it up to make sure all the lights work. They don't. It just got downgraded to a Holiday Tree. Fifteen more minutes of tinkering with it and then it's going to be further downgraded to a off-to-Goodwill tree. It's not even December yet, and I'm already out of the mood.

I hear ya Jujube.:rolleyes:...I have the patience of a Gnat when it comes to putting stuff together for Christmas or anything come to that, that needs a lot of work for little reward ....if it starts playing me up..then the whole deal is off LOL..
 
My place is too tiny for a Christmas tree so I have an itty bitty table tree. It's only about 24" high. I just put it on top of the bookcase, hang itty bitty ornaments on it, plug it in and call it good. When I feel the need for a Christmas tree "fix", I pop over to my daughter's side of the house and look at hers. Best thing about my tiny tree is that it takes about 15 minute to put it up and about the same amount of time to take it down!

I'm wishing for scans for Hollydolly and Fur for Christmas!
 
Very cool actually...you know when you just let the day unfold and it gets better and better? I don't play lottery maybe today I might have won something. I had stuff to do at the library computers so ended up there. Didn't know it was a book sale day whoot whoot whoot. Me n' my books, found some terrific titles plus two for my son for the holidays...side note there...One of the books is "The Basketball Diaries", a brutal but interesting read. I'm going to add a note for him. Back when I was a few years younger than he is now, someone took me to a club one night. Maybe I was under the influence of a few things but I remember the singer had red hair and was screaming..." they were all my friends AND THEY DIED"...year later I found out that was author Jim Caroll.

Then I found a bunch of other bargains for gifts, money is tight this year. Then I sobbed my eyes out over a story about Paris. But then sneakers on sale for my girl and ended the day with a delicious Thai curry.
 
I had a good day. We're house and pet sitting while our daughter, her husband and our granddaughter are on their birthday trip to feed lions. Our 2nd oldest grandson, who is 21 came down with us too. Our youngest son and his wife live about 15 minutes away and have been good company. They are getting back tomorrow (Sunday) and we'll go home Monday but come back Dec 3rd as our daughter is having surgery. I'm not sure how long we'll stay at that time.

Your ankle isn't going to pop off Fur. You're going to be okay. Work through the pain but don't let it become agonizing. If it is - stop and give your body the rest it's asking you for. It's really good that you're in tune with your body. I hope the insurance comes through soon to relieve your mind about this.

Today I was just busy buying food and everything for Thanksgiving. There's a lot to get and the traffic was pretty bad cuz it was a very nice day and gas prices are so low everyone is out clogging up the highways and byways. I went to a yard sale and also to I had lunch with a friend. It was an okay day. Nice weather for Novemember really makes it enjoyable.
 
Sounds like we all had a fab day yesterday...except jujube with her infernal Christmas tree.. :laugh:

''Birthday trip to feed Lions''...what's that Linda...is it a Zoo or a safari park or similar?

Day has just started for me so I'll report back later... :D
 
Shaping up to be a craptacular day. Sun's out. Cold. Daughter is already cranky because I wanted to put leftover birthday cake in her fridge to make room to thaw turkey in mine. I'm going to peel, cook, mash and freeze the other half of the 10 lbs of potatoes needed for dinner on Thursday. Can't put them in daughter's freezer because hers is stuffed with nuke food and ice cream.

I'm not Gramma. I'm Put it in Gramma's Fridge. Put it in Gramma's freezer.

Tired of having no one to talk to. I haven't ever had a substantive conversation with anybody under this roof. I can't even run away from home because it's not really home, even though I'm the one who paid to have it built. And there's nowhere to go. So I'm retired and have nowhere to go but all the time in the world to get there.

When my son isn't too busy, he talks with me about current events, world events, politics, whatever.

Sorry for the rant.
 
Georgia, it must be frustrating. An intelligent person can only take so much fluff. Excessive small talk has always made me postal. Vent all you want. You have a way with words. Have you ever considered writing?
 
Shalimar, actually...I don't usually have anything substantive to say, either and don't know how to write. Years ago (lots of years!) in high school, I'd be so paralyzed when there was a writing assignment for anything, I'd arrange to be "sick" long enough to get out of it somehow. I couldn't escape it in college, of course. Putting words to paper and being expected to learn and understand math/science? Those are the reasons I never graduated. Sigh.

Gotta go peel potatoes and make room in the fridge and freezer. Those are things I can do.
 
On here for just a short time and then I have to get a few things done. Hollydolly, I'll have to ask where the lion feeding was. I know it's near Vegas and several months ago they went somewhere and fed and petted rhinos, next trip they plan to feed elephants.

I'd call this a good day except I'm sad as I know we'll be leaving soon and taking our grandson back home (he lives near us) and our youngest son will really miss spending this time with him. The grandson is calm and quiet and our son is loud, talkative and very active. I think he helps bring our grandson out of his shell. They went out to a lot of places yesterday and had a good time.

GeorgiaXplant, I know how you feel sometimes. I do have people to talk to if I want to talk about cars, politics, cats and dogs, guns, news etc. but I get tired of that and eventually just zone out. Its a bad feeling when you know you can't run away from home. Even if a person runs away from home, they might still be lonely and not have anyone to talk to. If I lived by you I'd let you put the birthday cake in my refrig, that's for sure. :) Cake is one of my favorite foods. I suspect you are a better writer than you think you are. Just write the way you talk and you'll do fine. I bet you have a lot of interesting stories to write about. Start with your childhood and compare it to the way young people live today. That's always a good place to start if you can't think of anything else. My husband, who isn't into writing, started writing about his childhood and then the more he wrote the more he remembered and he's come up with some pretty interesting stuff. He even remembered a few things that seemed to touch a bit on the paranormal.

 
I work every Saturday but today I am enjoying.
A bit of shopping, ate some Mexican style cheese dip my grandson made, cleaned the kitchen in a leisurely fashion while cooking turnips and carrots to freeze for Thanksgiving, all mashed up with butter. Just poured a glass of red wine.
 
Rainy and overcast in Flori-duh this morning. Got together with some friends for breakfast at Izzys. Not much going on this afternoon. Talked to my daughter on FaceTime and her siblings are having a dispute over Thanksgiving dinner. I think the kids could work it out if my son-in-law, daughters husband, kept out of it. Hope it works out for them. My advice was, until they start acting like adults, tell them you are going out and they can do what they want.:confused:
