Catching up. It's a busy week so I'm in and out.
DH caught the cold this time after the Grands left. They all seemed well but the oldest was blowing her nose a lot . She said it was allergies.
You just have to prevent it all you can or we'd lose out on seeing them as often. He could have caught it while out. You never know.

I went to bed tired.
I did not sleep well.
Now I'm tired AND crabby......

I was hoping for another sunny day but, we had rain earlier and it's a bit chilly now, in fact, just put the heating on.

Skipped the flea market this morning but, made it to the pub. The only alcohol I ever drink is occasionally wine but, the pub serves quite a few non-alcoholic cocktails - my favourite is the Strawberry Mocktail Spritzer - so, no hangovers Two of the guys were celebrating their 80th birthdays and one of them used to be in a band so, his old band mates turned up and they played some of their songs. They were a local band so, not famous but, really good. It was certainly a great way to spend a couple of hours on a dreary Sunday.

Many moons ago, we would have been going out in the evening to celebrate occasions but these days, it's afternoons so everyone can go home and put their feet up afterwards

Hope everyone had a smashing Sunday

That sounds like a wonderful day!

weell I used to have a fringe , in fact I keep changing from having one and then getting fed up because it needs regular cutting, and growing it out... let me see if I can find one.. how about this one..?

You look so cute!

I totally understand not liking that "growing out" stage. That's where I am right now.

I'm hoping to get a picture with my Mom for her birthday, in about 2 weeks. I don't want a fresh cut for the picture, so my crew cut will have to wait until after her birthday.

It is all in your mind. Try coffee and a cookie.

Left: For my grandson's 6th birthday, his parents took him to the funniest of all experiences in Los Angeles, namely the "slime place" Sloomoo Institute - The World's #1 Slime Experience & Shop Right and Center: The following day, they went to Knott's Berry Farm www.knotts.com where at the children's "Camp Snoopy" he pretended to be the Red Baron. The birthday party is coming up next.

You can replace the closet with a potatoes bin and wear what you can pull out of the chute. Get it done. My penalty for SO being nicely put together when at work is a very close relationship with spray starch and iron.

It was a great day @Trila The band gained some fans. One of the ladies said she wished she'd taken some knickers to throw at them - apparently she used to throw her knickers at Tom Jones - it's a compliment!

I hope you are feeling less tired now. I hate when I can't sleep

This morning my husband who is disabled was walking and fell on the floor landing backward. He managed to get up with the help of a chair. I was so scared he had hurt himself but he said he was okay and nothing broken. He is now using his cane and we decided it was his slippers that did not have the proper traction, so I ordered a new pair for him.

Also, my coffeemaker started pouring out coffee when getting a cup before it finished brewing. So, I am replacing it.

Starting to get flippy. Been
sitting, cocooned in my office space for over 22 years and feel very sad. I know it's only temporary. I apologize to everyone for anything and everything in the meantime. I knew I was doing too well. It's been three days. I've become so babyish. Must be due to my ultra advanced age

Thank you @Lewkat for your sage advice on @Gardenlover rant thread. I need you,Lois!
Hate this tablet but am thankful that I have it as backup
Gee it has been only since last Thursday or Fri.
Sigh. I 've got it good.
Must check on those blood test results. Nervous about it. No news is good news and I trust this doctor. Only problem is his and staff very poor English.

Oh Rae, what a shock for you both , thank goodness he wasn't hurt, but I bang the gong about slippers all the time, having had an accident myself due to poor fitting ones.. Now I never swear slippers and especially backless ones.. I only ever wear slip on Sketchers around the house, they have a much better fit and traction...

I am glad he is OK. I hope he still is today. The reason I mention it is I fell on my front and braced the fall with my left arm. I thought I was fine until about 3 hours later. I couldn't figure out why my left wrist hurt so bad. I said something around Misa and she said that happened when you fell. Stupid me even forgot that had happened!

Good Morning, Everyone.

Today I have two video visits, neither one of which I’m looking forward to, but what can ya do?

They will come and then be over and I’ll move on.

Husband is working early hours today so I’ll get him back in the early evening.

It’s going to be a fairly nice day today, so dog walks should be pleasant.

The above, combined with a deep-cleaning project in the kitchen I want to get to should make for a less idle day than I’ve been experiencing of late, which will be nice.

Hope everyone is feeling good this day.

It's 1.45pm... you'll not believe what I've done today, given my precarious health currently... and I really shouldn't have done it but I had little option..

First I had to go and get the Bird poop off my car . My car sits under a tree there's nowhere else to park it.. and the bird poop has been on there now for a few days becauuse I simply wasn't well enough to go and remove it, and I was getting more and more anxious about the paintwork.. so I went out and cleaned it all off earlier...


Then I came in , and all on my own I brought the chest of drawers from upstairs to downstairs . What a job.. I took all the drawers out then slid it down stairs on it's side.. I had to do it, ..

I did think of asking my neighbour if he would do it.. but he works long days, so I thought it might be cheeky to ask him after he's finished work.. so I did it myself...

I don't feel very well now tbh.. did too much all at once.. but I'm sure I'll be ok...after a rest

I used to move large pieces of furniture like that. I don't like others for help either. A couple of times I did tho and they were happy to do it. Now I have a painting that is quite heavy and I can't hang it. I want it over my sofa and therein lies the problem. Enjoy your accomplishment---it's a good thing!

 

[Georgiagranny]

Here I am. It was a bad, bad night, and while my eyes are open and I'm moving around, I'm really sleep walking. Tonight is going to be a half a benadryl night.

DD took me to the UPS store and Walmart. Really don't know how I made it around that huge WM and lived to tell about it.

It's raining so there's no temptation to work in the garden, not that I would anyway because I'm just plain whipped. It's nap time.

 

[Irishdude]

Went to the gym, then to the library where I bought two books for $1.50. We are traveling to Ireland next week so the rest of this week is devoted to various errands.

Build "stairs" or use two ladders and a board and shimmy it up one rung at a time.

what's wrong Gigi..do you know what's making you feel so poorly ?

 

[Medusa]

Well, I've gotten through one video visit and it went better than anticipated.

Lucius and I had our first walk of the day and that was pleasant enough.

I have about an hour and a quarter before the second video visit and am contemplating starting that deep cleaning project in the kitchen.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Lack of sleep! I tried to nap, but it didn't work. Maybe this afternoon.

When I go into a store like Walmart, I use a cart to hang onto and it helps me to move around. Also, if I wear support socks, it also helps me to walk.

I hope you feel better, soon.

I had the self same thing with the picture... just 2 weeks ago.. very heavy pictures ( 2).. which had to be hung on a brick masonary wall which required heavy duty drilling....so I called a handyman in, who did several other jobs for me , and also hung the pictures.. that was the best money I spent this month tbh....

However I wouldn't want to pay his daily rate just to move some drawers, hence why I did it myself..
