How are you today?

Good morning folks, it is brite and sunny out there today, yay....had bunches
of rain yesterday, no damage for me tho, yay, it is coolish at 40F deg this
morning high temp today maybe 70deg......I am having lots of trouble
sleeping these days, for what reason I'm not sure....last nite the issue
was the pain in my low back....managed to put two pain patches across
my back at waist level and by golly they helped!!!!! So today is going to be
one of slow movement, no bending and lots of babying myself,,,,,thanks
for having me !!!!! ;):love:(y):coffee::devilish:
 
Another big section of empty space weeded and Preened and mulched. Only spread two sacks of mulch this morning because...tired.

@hearlady We're in an extreme drought here, too. We're told maybe rain tonight, but only a 25% chance. Why bother to tell us that? It means there's a 75% chance that it won't:mad:.

Ima chill for a while, then maybe divide up some coleus that DD bought yesterday...it's a big pot so some for her, some for me. Maybe. Maybe not until Monday.

I have been dealing with the V.A. since my husband's death. I saw a sizeable withdrawal from my bank account. It was the same amount deposited on Dec. 29th. DH passed on Dec 26th. I figured it was making up the overpayment but they never sent me anything so I called them to be sure and they confirmed the overpayment.
I did get almost an apology letter from my bank saying we had to let them take this amount. If you have questions call us.
I thought " No, it's OK. The Govt is famous for giveth then taketh away. " 🙄

The government pays benefits in advance rather than arrears. His payment on December 29th was to cover the full month of January. Since he'd already passed, they clawed back that benefit. 🤷‍♀️

Morning folks I was woke at 3:00 AM my pain in my left foot Imagine arthritis.

Cold here as threatened. How come they can get the weather right if it's gonna be too cold or too hot, but can't get it right about rain? It's didn't rain last night as promised, but a few drops spit on us. Nothing is wet this morning. It's gonna be very windy...already is...so I put my patio umbrella down and tied it.

I'm all showered and stuff and wearing my favorite ladies' loungewear. It's as dressed as I'm gonna get today.

There will be no gardening done today. It's too darned cold.

I volunteered to make supper tonight. It's gonna be spaghetti and meatballs.

@hawkdon You go ahead a whine all you want to. I say that I don't mind suffering silence as long as everybody knows I'm suffering ;)

Oooo! I just read that it's National Cat Lady Day. I'd have more than just one if I had a place to put them.

It’s time to switch the cold weather/warm weather clothes to the other closets. There’re decisions to be made. I have the room for all of it, just can’t wear it all. All dressed up and no place to go.

In the meantime, it’s day one of laundry days.

It’s also time to do little chores. Yesterday I cleaned my SS coffee pot. I put a dishwasher tab in, run a full pot of water through, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Everything looks like brand new - except this time. I switched brands and obviously the new one isn’t as good. Better chemicals in the old brand? Darn.
 
Happy Monday, my friends! Gotta get myself in gear today because some dear friends are arriving tomorrow afternoon and will spend the night. ❤️

I changed the guest bed linens a couple of days ago, and my house is always presentably clean, but with my bum wrist (still wearing a brace nearly 24/7), I've slacked off on the dusting and mopping.

Little Roomba is already doing his part. Seems a cheerful little bugger, especially given that he starts vacuuming at 7:30am thrice weekly and goes at it all day. An hour of vacuuming, then he wanders back to home base, empties out and recharges for an hour, then returns to where he left off and is back to work. Hearing him roam the house is music to my ears.

Even so, I'm plenty butthurt with modern whiz-bang technology priorities. Sure, I'm impressed that humans are blasted up to float in space on a regular basis, but that's old news. It's time for engineers to focus closer to home. Maybe place a "dustba" on the top of their to-do lists and get 'er done? @Georgiagranny and I will surely be doorbusters to buy them on day one.

Sigh... but not today.

Moving on. I'm looking forward to our company, and the housework shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, so perhaps I shouldn't whine too much. Note: I said "perhaps I shouldn't," not "I won't." Stay tuned. In the meantime, hope you all have a great day!
 
Doing ok here. However, my sinuses are driving me nuts. Waiting while the Spark drivers play volleyball with my grocery delivery order because they're trying to tip bait me. I don't tip now until I make sure I have everything and depending on the service. When they keep kicking my order around they are not gonna get a tip that way either.
