Hey, how's it going today for you? It's 2023. An alternate thread for different people.

I'm doing great too....
Unpacked my Susie Wong cheongsam…still fits like a glove. All in preparation for Chinese New Year Celebration.

The menu I am told includes Peking Duck (my favourite), Jai (Budha’s delight), Stir fried shrimp with XO sauce, Nian Gao( glutinous rice) and a variety of Chinese cakes and desserts. So looking forward to this feast.

If you celebrate, have a great time!

Fine, so far, thanks for asking @Ruthanne .

Just got home from the gym and I did my first yoga class since knee surgery, I was afraid of all the kneeling. Went in well padded and did fine.

Now I have retaken my place in the class as an example of how you could do worse... Most people in the class are young fit women, I stand out pretty clearly as different.
 
Good thread Ruthanne, a hospital visit for a blocked ear for me this morning, the nurse settled me on the bed and started the treatment as I relaxed to some gentle background music, after a while she said “someone is desperate to get hold of you” the ‘music’ was an alert on my mobile phone, (shows how little I use it) anyway we were both enjoying it so I left it on :LOL:
 
Hey, Ruthanne! I haven’t followed the other thread much so know nothing about it. It seems like every time I do say something about what‘s going on here I’m waiting for snow. Yep, snow again tonight and more on Sunday. ❄️ ❄️ Good thing the sun usually melts it some in between.

I must run a few errands so I don’t have to drive while the roads are bad.

BTW, I don’t know if I’m different or not. Some folks say I am. :ROFLMAO:

Yesterday when the paths were clear, I managed to get outdoors for about 10-15 minutes, and enjoyed the cool fresh outdoor air. I was once an outdoor gal, but now, it's too difficult and therefore, a rare treat for me. I gazed at the trees and the birds, and the sky. Everything looks different, from how it looks from indoors, looking out, which is my usual view of everything.

I am glad I did, as today we have quite a bit of snow, and I would not be able to go outdoors.
Today, I am watching the birds and trees and scene through my windows, from indoors instead, but glad I got the close-up and different outdoor view, yesterday!

I cleaned my cat's ears and claws, and got her hair brushed. That is needed more often now that she is older.
I feel good about taking care of her. That is not easy for me and it's something that is important to me.
 
No doubt, I am different! I wonder what it would feel like to feel the so called "normal". It is exhausting suffering from anxiety and worry all the time.

At least, I did sleep well and long last night. I hope I well continue to feel well today. I need to do a cook up so I have things for the next few days. Just doing that relieves a lot of stress. Then I can go just take out a precooked meal to heat. I am making a plan now.When I use the oven I like to cook a variety of things that can be used for several days. So far on the list are biscuits, bacon, chicken breast and roasted carrots/potatoes. Maybe a pie or cake.

Next thing, 2 of the dogs need to go in for yearly checkup and blood work. I need to groom the little boy. Funny how I feel the need to clean him up even when he is going to get a professional groom.

I also need to get to the pharmacy and pick up the meds the orthopedist gave me or my neck. All though I feel pretty good, I just don't want to leave the house today. See, told you I am wierd!! Have a great day, we just have to take it a day at a time.
 
I have my tale of woe, but dispersed it and now reflect on a joyously happy moment today, while shopping.

VODKA was on sale $6 for 375 ml I'm not a snob, a cheap drunk is still a good drunk. But I'm more for tipsy than hammered. This weekend will be nice.

Oh I LOVED doing that years ago. I'd get two big pans from $1 store, had a food processor. Block of cheese, hamburger, pace mild sauce, more onions and pasta sheets kind of and then fix it all cook it then slice it out for portions in about 14 containers.

Breakfast was eggs and sausage. But lunch and dinner was my lasagna mess. I did probably many varieties, but that was my favorite.
