@hollydolly When I'm out with DD, she always goes to a drive-thru to get tea. I decline with polite thanks because I keep tea at home. She mentions daily that she's "broke," and I don't understand why she insists on buying something that she's got at home, too...already paid for. No wonder she's broke. Now, if we were meeting a friend at, for instance, Starbucks, that would be different.

I don't understand getting tea from a drive-thru, unless it's because you're thirsty.......but I do understand getting a drink from a street cafe or pub, because for one, it give you a chance to sit down after walking for a while around town and rest your feet , and 2 , it gives an opportunity to people watch.
I rarely buy tea when I'm put because I have it here.. I usually buy coffee because I don't have it at home
 

It's been a low-energy day here. Maybe rushing around too much yesterday, or the rapid drop in temperatures and then cloudiness since Noon yesterday?

At least the skies have opened up and the sun burst forth in the last hour. Just in time for it to set in another hour! :ROFLMAO:
 
@hollydolly We don't have "town" to walk around, and unless we go to the square there are really no shops to browse. Then if we'd be inclined to stop for a coffee or tea, there are only restaurants that have tourist prices and aren't exactly welcoming for just stopping for a refreshment. They want you to order from their pricey menus.

In Germany we'd stop at a konditerei for coffee/tea and pastries. They were hard to pass up because their wares were displayed in the windows...stretchy jeans needed. On one trip over there, I gained 20 lbs in just three weeks :(.

We could say I ate and drank my way through Germany.
 

Today was drop my taxes off at the accountant and get my driver’s license renewed since the website wouldn’t let me do it online.

They want a new picture and that was an hour‘s worth of rigamorole that should’ve only been 20 minutes. Rules have changed regarding wearing glasses - they now must come off for the photo, even if I need them to drive. I took them off and the camera in the kiosk then said it wasn’t me🤯🤐. So I had to re-wait for a real person to take my photo —- 🙄🙄

At least I’m good for another 8 years. I’ll be 86 by then, if I’m still around ——

I hate this, they do this in passport control at the airport... it's eye recognition, but you have to take your specs off.. and then many people can't see to look into the relevant little camera.. and so it causes big queues of impatient people behind...

I have blinding hate for renewing anything online as in my case do not find it faster just a never ending labyrinth .

I renewed my auto tags in person .

Getting acclimated to yet another new sleep schedule. I'm still up during most of the middle of the night, but now I'm sleeping more hours during the day. I slept until almost 4 p.m. then got a call from my Honorary Daughter asking if she could stay here tonight. That's so instead of having to walk about a mile, including down three steep hills tomorrow to get to the first bus stop, she only has to walk three blocks from our apartment to catch her first bus. Unfortunately her car "died" last week.

I cleaned up the bathroom before she got here and the kitchen after we ate. I was happy that my son stopped and got Italian food after he picked her up. Glad I didn't have to worry about fixing anything. She's sleeping on the couch and I sleep in my recliner in here, so when I get off the computer, I'll finish what's left of my dinner, take my meds then plug up and watch some things on my tablet.
 
Was up early - as ever - this morning. Got some washing done and a few other little jobs. My friend is coming round for coffee and catch up mid morning. I provide the coffee, she brings cakes. It's really the only time I eat cakes, I never buy them for myself as my taste is more to savoury than sweet, but it's kind of her to bring them so, I indulge. 🍰
 
Second day getting up ungodly hour of 3am. I'm on new meds for a certain condition and I think that might be the reason. Watch local news at this hour, like community knowledge and there is so much to know in NYC. Like the hyper local commercials too. Soothing. Local. That's because my world so small it's only local..........my life has shrunk. At least I have a life, at least my mind can still wander exciting places though my body can't follow.

I work hard at keeping mind active. Yesterday started small exercise routine, am concerned about muscle loss & strength and am trying to re-build.

My new goal: stay alive in reasonable shape till I'm at least 87 to see my grandson as a man.
 
It's way too warm here again this morning. 63F on the7th of Feb-u-dreary is unusually warm.

Another lacy night and I can't go back to bed because once I'm up, I'm up, and I have a doc appointment this morning for an echocardiogram. When that's done, I'm going to politely decline any more poking, prodding, testing. Last time I saw the cardiologist, she ordered a sleep study. Nope. Not doing it. Why can't they just leave me alone? If I get sick (rarely), I can make an appointment. When I'm not sick, I want to be left alone. I'll go once a year for the required physical. It's as simple as that.

I have no idea why another ecg is needed. Nobody told me. An ecg was done the last time I was there in mid-December. Maybe they just want the co-pay?

Excuse my rant, please. I'm feeling grouchy.

After that excursion, DD and I are going to do a bit of Walmarting. There probably won't be any gardening done today because it's wet out there after a thunderstorm last night.
 
Yesterday was fun... my brother-in-law was in town and two of my sons and I had lunch with him and had a chance to catch up.

Today will be a work day. In fact, for the next few weeks I will probably be working pretty steadily (like 3 days a week) b/c they've had two nurses quit. Hopefully they can get people hired fairly quickly.

Trying to be consistent in doing my physical therapy stretches and exercises...

y'all have a good day!

you wanna be here Gigi...the doctors leave you alone TOO much :cautious:
 
It's 6.40pm dark now..doesn't get dark until after 5pm now.... but it's been raining all day..sleet really, and dull as ditchwater.. 2 deg


Can't make my mind up what to have for dinner.. think I mght have Mushroom Pappardelle

The item that I got for DD yesterday was the wrong thing. It was a niche item but despite looking the same and made by the same manufacturer, it was wrong, so I have return it...which means driving into North London.. *sigh*
 
It appears that I got my knickers in a twist over nothing. December was the ekg, today the ecg. Ecg because the last one was five years ago. It's just to check to see if anything has changed. I got to watch the screen...looks like twin boys ;).

Walmarted without DGD along. Got in, got stuff, got out. Yay. I don't think browsing in Walmart is fun.

It's still warm, and the baby grass is growing.
 
So far so good as my first post here was asking about these Computer '' Geek '' one hires and plenty suggested it , the '' kid '' just left and my other new comp is now set up in tv room so come Sun while watching the game I can chat in football forum .

Better then that he also hooks up what for me is a nightmare as far as led lights for fish tanks as no longer on/off switch so going to order clip on high output led lights.

In an hour headed to Walmart with my neighbor which will not be fun as packed .
