How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Feel better @David777 . 😕 I had norovirus several years ago. It stays fresh in my mind. Horrid stuff!

I have cleaned room by room. Today I'll tackle the kitchen then tomorrow Ill do some pre cooking.
On Sunday everyone will come and mess it back up. 😁 No worries. It's deep cleaned so I can touch it back up. The girls are staying after for a few days so we'll live off leftovers then DH and I will rest over Christmas.

To all noticing the crazy traffic. Yes! I've been saying that Friday is the new Saturday but lately everyday is the new Saturday. I try to get out and back as early as possible.

Midnight Friday now. This Thursday morning, I came down with an unpleasant case of norovirus. Seems like am already recovered. Unpleasant nausea for first 3 hours, threw up several times, shaking chills, 100.4F low fever. Very immobilizing

Very contagious virus probably picked up at one of 2 supermarkets I visited Wednesday by touching objects like doors, carts, and especially the self checkout screen. Not easily killed by alcohol cleaners.

Be well David...it's a horrendous virus, which makes you feel so ill..... but hopefully it won't last more than 48 hours...hope you feel better very soon

I am very careful..not OCD.. but I do try whenever I leave a supermarket having touched trolleys and baskets, and touch screens ..as you say... to use the hand wipes when I get back to the car.. a throwover from Covid days ..in the hope that it will prevent me from catching something horrible.. .

I was worried yesterday mixing with eople in the Mall.. supermarket and Hairdressers... because there's a big outbreak of a nasty flu variant going around.. the news stations were full of doom and gloom about it.. 2,500 people are being hospitalised every day in the last week due to this flu...

I don't know whether it's because of all the driving yesterday..but today my right shoulder hurts a lot......annoying... hopefully it'll ease off if I take a Methocarbamol.. and add a heat pad...

Have the best day you can peeps of SF... 🌺 🌼 🍂🍂⛄

I agree , I have long said the same thing..first it was Sunday is the new Satruday then it was Friday... and now as you say, it's every day......and so much worse because of our over populated country and narrow roads... and my little market town is a domritory town, so our roads are jammed solid with traffic just passing through..

here we're kinda caught in traffic whenever we go out because between the hours of 6am and 9am, it's head to tail traffic, rush and school hours.. between 9am and 2.30pm.. its busy traffic.... and then from 2.30pm it's school traafic and rush hour traffic again..until around 7pm.. when it's dark...

The only real break we get is during th school holidays and the roads are a lot clearer outside of rush hours .. which is why I feel that there's should be a ban on people dropping kids off at school, and school buses should be introduced instead...

not feeling well myself after a doctor visit today. not sick but just a med check. she sent in a refill for my zofran for nausea from migraines, need to get that today, hope I did not get a virus while there. Also starting me on Mounjaro which scares me.

Oh wow, Mounjaro ..that's a big deal... are you diabetic ?.. personal question coming up... do you have a lot of weight to lose ?

I don't think doctors routinely subscribe Mounjaro unless there's a great threat to your health.. so I hope it works for whatever you're getting treated for.....unlike the vast amount of people who are buying it , outside of a doctors prescription...

Feel better soon.... 🤗

A HUGE tragedy for us. Yesterday our son collapsed and died. We assume it was a heart attack. He was 50 years old.
We've got all sorts of things to do, so you'll understand that I wont be posting for a while, probably not till the New year
I know that your love and condolences will be with us at what should be a happy time of year.
Love, Capt Lightning.

I am so sorry to hear about your son's death, Capt. Lightning. May your family be comforted by memories of him.

Yes, type two diabetic and yes I need to lose weight. I have tried, but I can;t exercise due to a hip replacement. Can't stand for than 10 minutes with low back pain.

She said do you want to take the shots. I said yea, put me on insulin cause I cant do it, she said not yet lets try this, she went and came back with free samples of this. She said to start it on Saturday. One shot once a week. I go back on Jan. 8th.

It is like a pen thing, you just put it on your belly and push to inject, I hope it is not painful. We will see. I was ready for the insulin if needed, she will check my A1C next month. I am so depressed and exhausted I have just given up. Most people say they are afraid to die, I have now decided I am afraid to live longer with the pain I endure due to other things I have,
 
Morning all, I was tired yesterday, because I couldn't; go for my long walks due to the icy condtions on sidewalks,being cold /windytemps in the low 20's.I did walk a couple times on the hallway to get exercise I went to bed at usual time ,9:30 next thing I know it s 7am
On my morning walk at 7:15,temp was 25, as I walk slowly across the street due to ice/snow on sidewalks to buy today's USA Today
My plan this morning going to weekly exercise class at 10am, read today's NYT, USA Today. I may go out for another short walk in afternoon, the sun is out,high today near 30
Everybody have a good day

I am to the part where I am wondering if I should be committed to mental ward. I am so scared of everything right now. I feel like I am losing my mind and not capable of making any clear decision. I just know I cannot go on like this.

Are you on any anti-depressants or other psych meds? Many of us have taken them at one time or another to get through periods like this. Please talk to your doctor about how you're feeling - help is available. {{{hugs}}}
 
Sad news....no more coffee at the little grocery store. They have permanently removed the coffee station. It wasn't really a surprise, since one of their other stores took it out about a month ago, but it was still disappointing. We've been going there for our coffee for many years. It's the end of an era!

Yesterday's trip to the phone store with my Mom was everything that I expected it to be. In the end, she got her new phone, and was happy. I still have a bit of sinus infection, and was tired. As soon as we were done, I just wanted to go home.

When I got home, I walked in the door and the first thing Dio said to me was: "I made a pot of coffee, and saved you a cup".

I was so grateful to him for doing that!!!! It was just what I needed!! 💕

I might make another batch of fudge latter today, but for now I'm just relaxing! No big plans for the day.

Tomorrow I'll be skating, so I'll be offline all day. 🛼
 
Going to get the ladder out of the storage shed in a bit and clean mama's leaf filled gutters again for the second time this season....I priced those gutter screens things but they want an arm and a leg for them so I'll continue to do it myself till I can't.

I have had those gutter screens and they just made it harder to clean the gutters. I took them off; never again.

..and you know in your more lucid moments that there's nothing to be scared of. You've lived a life up to now and nothing terrible has happened that hasn't happened to other people.. you have to try and bear this in mind.. that nothing terrible is likely to happen going forward.

Your doctor is addressing your health issues, it's up to you now to do what you can to help her help you... and when your weight has reduced, you will find that the pain you suffer will also be reduced. Try not to worry.. thousands ..nay milions have gone through what you're going through now.. and have come out better, the other side... you will too....and we're all here for you.. don't forget that..

That's the beauty of deep cleaning, isn't it? I'm in the same place. Deep cleaned a couple of weeks ago so today and tomorrow I'll only need to spiff things up for Saturday party. It doesn't start until 4 PM, so I'll have most of tomorrow to manage final touches.

Today I'll run a load of laundry, bake a couple of hundred biscotti (made the dough yesterday), make a big pot of pizza sauce, hang the Christmas cards, and see what else needs doing.
