How are you today?

[MarciKS]

Restless, jittery, anxious. Don't want to stay in, don't want to go out - but will go out for a short time in awhile to pick up a few things at the store and see if that helps. I need to learn not to listen to the noon news.

I try to avoid the news anymore. It doesn't help me at all.

 

[Medusa]

Out of sorts and annoyed at the moment. Boyfriend is back, but he's made me mad.

Otherwise, okay; we're going to watch some hockey soon.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@Pepper is home! That's the best news I've heard in weeks and weeks I bet the kitties feel the same way. And a good cup of coffee is a bonus!

It's sunny right now and not too cold. There's a pretty stiff breeze that makes it feel colder.

DD took me to Aldi to lay in a supply of gelato. I get nervous when the gelato stash gets low.

 

[MarciKS]

i'm awake. i slept a little better last night. hands still hurt like the dickens.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Good morning, kids. It's almost full daylight so I gotta hurry and post and get outside before I change my mind about watering and tidying up the garden.

Already started the laundry...yanno, because I'm so virtuous.

Have a perfectly cromulent day. There's that word again. It's been a while since I used it.

 

[hawkdon]

Morning all...I am later getting up, guess I needed the extra sleep...
having issues with my hands still, it is sunny bright outside..59deg going
into 70's I believe....No major plans for today, may do a small grocery
order....or not....have a great day!!!!

 

[Trila]

Good morning!

I slept late, and I'm just up. Still sleeping....but I'm up!

Today I gym and Wal-Mart day. My shopping list isn't too long, but I need a pair of back-up shoes, since I've started my last ones. With my Planter's Fasciitis, I'm thinking I'm going to upgrade to a better shoe. I'm not 25 years old anymore, I can't (shouldn't) wear the cheap stuff. I'll see what I can find.

I will be so glad when I can get food I can chew again. This stuff I have been swallowing is
not supplying me with energy, makes me feel shaky inside and a bit nervous and VERY low on
energy. I have maybe another week at most with no chewable food so PLEASE bare
with me if I am not making sense or seem touchy, I will not take offense if you msg me and
tell me to take a break I sound perfectly normal inside my brain and can't judge quickly
enough to see who is typing is not me. I just really want the real me back.
Thank you for your patience and caring.

I will hafta clean house again this weekend since the carpet beetles are back for the season and looking to leave their children for me to babysit. That will require pulling the bed apart and spraying it as well. They're very sneaky. I'm trying to stay on top of it so I don't get infested again. They're a PITA.

It's a stormy day today so I was awaken by a loud crack of lightening and thunder.

Try some diatomaceous earth....
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural, powder-like substance that kills hard-bodied insects and pests through dehydration by scratching their exoskeletons. It is highly effective against ants, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, bed bugs, beetles, spiders, mites, earwigs, silverfish, and snails. Also mentions carpet beetles.

They take this back to their nests and then they all must die...

I don't think anyone would be offended. It must be very hard to eat only soft food. Hopefully in a week you can chew down on somethings substantial and feel like Wonder Woman!

It’s lunch time here and I have a big decision. There were three cookies left in the box. I’ve eaten two and that third one is just sitting there being lonely. I also have a few sips of coffee left. They’d go so well together.

I have a bag. I'll give it a try. I can spend the weekend in the living room.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Good morning. Today is the day the warm weather is supposed to start coming back. Some rain would be good, too. Why can't I live in Camelot?

DGD and her BF have gone to Asheville for the weekend. Visiting Biltmore is on their list of things to do. Biltmore is beautiful, but holy buckets! That place is expensive. They're staying at an air B&B and plan for meals in town. The restaurants on the property are pretty spendy for just ordinary food.

DD and I are meeting DGS and his GF for a late lunch.

Between now and then maybe I'll be motivated to do something constructive.

You are sounding perfectly normal out here too. Can you have other soft foods like pudding, yogurt, mashies, etc? Or have to stick to this stuff you're not loving?

I’m doing great today. Yesterday my father in law just went into a nursing home in Newfoundland. My sister in law and my husband planned it all. We were really afraid that he wouldn’t like it but he genuinely seems to love it. My sister in law went to the nursing home to take him out for lunch and he declined the appointment invitation so he could have lunch with his new buddies. Is that sweet or what?

We have a picture of him and he’s as happy as could be. My sister in law works for the TTC and works long hours and there was nobody home to look after him and she was really scared for him. Luckily he agreed to the move so they left on Tuesday from Ontario to go to Newfoundland.

They had an appointment to visit the home on Wednesday and they moved him in on Thursday. From his reaction it was the best decision we / he could have made for him. His room gets cleaned and mopped everyday. He gets his laundry washed , gets 3 main meals and 3 snacks per day. They also get driven to the closest mall to go shopping once a week. He has a brand new tv and little mini fridge. I am happy for him. He’s already really fitting in.

 

[MarciKS]

sorry for not being on sooner. i've been sick all day with a stomach bug. i've managed to eat a little but not much. sitting up for a bit cuz i hurt from laying in bed all day. i don't think i'm gonna be doing much this weekend.

[Georgiagranny]

Why does it feel like Sunday?

The sun's up, and I need to throw on my glad rags and get out in the garden. There are bedding plants to put in and some seeds to plant. I wanna get it done before it gets too warm.

Our summer weather apparently is here to stay. Expecting 90F by the end of the week. Guess it's time to seriously consider turning on the a/c. Sigh.

Today's the 11th. The extended forecast says we might have rain again by the 23rd. Can we say drought?

Maybe @Paulina will visit today

 

[Pepper]

Today is my father’s birthday. He would be 110. I didn’t light a candle. First time since he died in 1981. I think I will. Happy birthday dad. You were the best man I ever knew.

Depressed.

Time to brush my teeth and wash my hair.

A nurse coming this morning around 11am. I will go out today. That always helps
