How are you today?

I'm glad all the chocolates are gone! Now to take off what I gained! Well, they were good anyhow 😂

Doing ok but tired. The sugar and caffeine in the chocolate kept me awake much of the night. I hope to get some good sleep tonight.

The neighbors have been acting horrible for weeks now. I'm trying to ignore them. So I am kind of frazzled from their antics. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.
 

I think I'm fine. Got up early with the intention of making biscuits for breakfast. Good intentions. We know what's paved with good intentions. Jussayin'.

It's gonna be another sunny and warm day so there's more garden cleanup on the agenda this morning.
 

Good morning, kids. I'm just dandy this morning after a decent night's sleep and ready to lick my weight in wildcats🐆. I think.

Gotta get out there and get more garden cleanup done because by the first of next week it's gonna be cold. Cold, I tell ya. Like in the 40s cold!

Today is laundry day, too.

When DD gets home from her work-away-from-home job, we're going to Aldi because I'm all out of gelato. That's a crisis:eek::eek:
 
My eye doctor appointment went OK. Very, very early start of cataracts, not unexpected. I had LASIK 20 years ago and still have 20/20 vision. About five years ago, I got glasses just to help with my quilting when I’m working with black fabric (weird, I know.) Last year, the doctor suggested glasses for night driving. I got them at America’s Best which, turns out, is the worst. I couldn’t wear them as they made me dizzy and they insisted there was nothing wrong. So, I used the optician at the doctor’s office. $800 just for lenses for three pairs of glasses! That just floored me! Glad I don’t need to get glasses mor frequently!

Picked up lunch on the way home and spent the afternoon watching movies.

Today will be housework, laundry, and, hopefully, quilting.

Have a good one!

I spoke too soon. That was Sunday night. Last night, I was awake half the night and ended up sleeping too late. It throws my whole day off.

I listen to podcasts to distract me. There are two types that help me. One is something that is the type that is sort of interesting and distracts me from my busy thoughts. The other is Sleep Magic. She’s a hypnotherapist. There are a few others like this one.

As a last resort I take a small amount of a prescription drug.

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear the insomnia came back :(

I tell my husband, don't say things out loud or you'll jinx it ! I'm pretty sure pod casts would not work for me, but thank you for sharing the details. I do try to listen to rain sounds - and that helps!!

May we all fall to sleep as soon as our head hits the pillow. ☺️
 
It's a pretty day out, which makes for nice walks.

Husband is working the afternoon to evening shift today so, I likely won't see him until tomorrow morning for coffee, since I go to bed fairly early.

Boyfriend is in London visiting family so our communication will be limited for the next several days. I hate it when he's away; messes with the rhythm of my life. That and I just plain miss him.

It is, however, a good time to watch movies I know he wouldn't care for. Ooo, maybe I'll watch that Thanksgiving horror where it looked like a monster was prepping someone for a feast. - Eh... well... Something, away.

I could catch up on my blog, I suppose.

Hoping everyone is feeling good and has a nice day.

Which movies? :)
 
Still breathing,why I do not know. Every stinking day seems I wake up with a new issue. May even be minor but bugs me or makes me hurt. The only reason I can move today is I took the one and only so called pain med doctors said I can take. Lucky me today it worked. It is sad, but my hubby is 7 seven years younger than me, and I swear if I have something,he has it , at some point. Even with all this complaining I am doing, our lives are sooo much better than most people.

Just arrived home after spending a couple of nights in the city ~ attending a couple of functions for major milestone birthdays of reaching 90 and ~ still dancing 💃 ( Ballroom ) ……NOT MY BIRTHDAY …..2 Dancing friends ~ 90th BIRTHDAYS

on the way home today we called into a very large garden centre on the outskirts of the city , I was looking for lettuce seedlings ,but didn’t but them as they were to advanced and would likely bolt up to seed
with a little warmer weather on us ….Ive got lettuce seeds I may just plant them as they grow like lighting anyway
I like the mixed variety’s I can just pick the leaves rather than ones that form a head .

Took a few snaps in the garden centre which has a restaurant attached which couples use for weddings

I had one of these Variegated monsteras but it got way to big for the area it was in so I sold it , in fact the local garden centre purchased it for $450 .00 to add to his own collection, mine had more white ~ than green ..it was stunning ,the leaves were 65 cm ..just over 2 foot wide and high , when I sold it .IMG_0297.jpeg

Okay then, I'm up and have had coffee on the patio.

It's time to get my behind in gear, get dressed and get out to the garden where I have to lick my weight in wildcats again 🐆 because there's more to do and this might be the last day before The Big Freeze sets in. We might get lucky and get one more day, but I'm not gonna chance it.

Y'all have a perfectly swell day, okay?

And @Paulina? We're thinking about you...check in as you're able, okay?
