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

Today is a medical day. My visiting nurse will arrive soon to change the dressing on my feet. An X-Ray technician is coming over between 10am and 5pm to take pictures of my feet. Hate waiting. Seven hour window. Ridiculous. Luckily, it is windy and rainy outside, so I'm inside for the day anyway.

Started putting away laundry I did yesterday. I am so relieved I was ABLE to do this. Grateful. Want my independence as long as I can.

Thank you, guys, for when you listen to my complaints. It really helps me to complain!
 

Woke up at the crack of dark - early 4's. Cut bait on the operation by 4:40, clambered out of bed and headed to the coffee pot. The magic 8 ball suggests there might be a nap in my near future.

Some household chores are on today's agenda, but nothing too laborious. I dusted yesterday (did you hear that, @Georgiagranny?) and will set Roomba to work after DH gets up. If yesterday's laundry is dry - it's hanging in the garage - I'll start a load of towels. If not, to quote Scarlett O'Hara, tomorrow is another day.

No sense mopping the floors today because it's gonna rain tomorrow (and possibly today). So maybe some straightening and decluttering.

Hope you all make today a good one. Monday, October 13th, 2025 will only come around once, you know...
 
Playtime, except the first picture where Heidi (5 y/o) is digging a hole. Is she sensing that her buddy Ross (10 y/o) is there underneath?
Yes, she did dig till the body bag appeared.

Two weeks ago, I adopted Rex (12 months old, 60 pounds) who already tries to dominate Otto (8 y/o.) Rex even tries to climb up on
me which apparently is a sign of affection. I have a hunch that Rex will keep growing and will protect me just as much as Ross always did.

Tug-of-war. My six year old grandson versus my 12 months old puppy.

It's reporting, not complaining.
 
Nice 57 Chev 👍
I have been chipping away at a 58 Chev Delray, got in way over my head but enjoy working on it.

We had a really nice Impala, but, it was stolen from thye Pamona swapmeet parking lot and we never saw it again. :cry:
It is however still listed on the Ca. hot sheet, so maybe someday we'll get it back.

@KSav …just because someone does not answer does not mean they do not hear. If it makes you feel better to send a note…send the note.
@Muskrat; thank you for this. His birthday is today. I did mail him a card and simply signed it "Love, Mom xo" (no histrionics or entreaties). I didn't hear anything back, as expected, but neither did I get a "leave me alone" message.

For all I know, he simply tossed it straight into the trash. But thanks, and I thank everyone else here who has offered support.
 
I've been told that Gangrene is nothing to mess with.
Pepper ,, call your son,, tell him what he nurse said.



Does that toe have a Bad smell?

Best of luck,, hang in there,, thinking of you.
No, don't think it smells. Did tell son. His wife, Dr. of Optometry, has doctors and PAs in her family. She has been trying to reach me today, but must keep landline clear for x-ray tech for home visit. If I'm told to go to a hospital, I will.
 
What I did today: watered the flowers. And then I sat on the teeny, tiny patio at the Hovel and thought about planting the allium bulbs, giving a lot of thought to where they should go. Did I plant them? Nope.

@Irishdude, see my tag line? A job well thought over is half done. So the allium bulbs are half planted, and your Huge Closet of Horrors is half attacked ;).
