How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2026....

I just realised I'd forgotten to post today on this thread..it's now almost 7pm...:D

I've sent most of today doing computer work... and I just realised I haven't turned the washing machine on.

The laundry is in there , but I forgot to turn it on, so I need to go and do that in a minute.. and then I need to have a look in the freezer and see what to cook for dinner....

After that I have some heavy duty book-keeping accounts to write out...I always do them longhand rather than trust them to my computer...

Hope everyone is having the best Sunday .... 🤗
 
G'afternoon Peeps of SF.... 🙋‍♀️...absolutely glorious day out there today....

I would have gone out but my daughter normally rings on a Monday lunchtime to the landline.. so I waited in.. and she didn't ring.. so when that happens she will invariably ring the following day.. or even this evening...

..however the forecast for tomorrow is to be the same so I'm hoping to get out then, and see if the Lambs have been born on the farms...

Have the best start to the week that you can... and hope those feeling rough are feeling better today... 🌷🌻
 
Morning all, on my early walk at 6:50, temp was 14 with no breeze. It was a bit cold but didn't bother me since I didn't have to wear boots sidewalks were clear of any ice/snow as I strolled around the building twice before breakfast
My plans today do a bit more shredding this morning, take a mid morning walk taking advantage of sunny day with temps near 30,do today's NYT crossword puzzle on line,see what the lunch&dinner menu is offering
Everybody have a great day
 
1772458690470.png Good morning! It started to rain yesterday, after I was in for the day. No storms, just a steady rain that continued all night. It's the first measurable rain since last July, so saying that it was needed is a gross under statement!

I slept through the night, no stops for the loo. Actually, I went 10 hours between stops!!!!!! Which is funny because during the day, I sometimes can't go 10 minutes without running to the bathroom!!!! LOL 😆🙃😅

I started to feel achy all over last night. I'm still not sure how I feel this morning, I might be coming down with a 🐞, but I sure hope not! After I have my coffee, I'll reassess how I'm feeling, and and let my day take it's own course.



@hollydolly thanks for starting myday sounding so chipper and upbeat! 😉

Tilla..fingers crossed you feel better as the day goes on....🤞 but if you need to rest you must do so... trouble with getting older is we take longer to recover.. you do so much running around, your poor body is looking for a little bit of a rest... lol... so ((hugs))..
 
Fell last night. Tripped. Hit right side head which is ok. Refused ER
Left side pulled a muscle which does hurt. Left foot in agony last night and today. Fell because not paying attention.
Rest today? No PT?
My surgical wounds were unattended. On one vacuum seal coming off
A mess today physically but okay mentally. Mentally important to feel better

Too true!

Honestly, when I'm feeling rundown, it takes very little convincing to get me to do nothing!!!

DD rang after work as I suspected she might.... .. she said she's been in her 'new house'' 4 years today.... I can hardy believe it, it seems like she just returned from Spain last year . Time just flies like lightening...
 
It's finally sunny again here today, and 39 F (4 C); yay! Now if I could just get outdoors. I managed to fall behind on work, and I've been glued to the computer for the last 36 hours, with no break in sight for the time being.

Now that we are finally in a warming pattern, I touched base with my older daughter with plans to get up there for a visit and see the babies soon—maybe as soon as next week. I can't wait!

On Saturday morning we had several inches of snow, and the roads froze. I was furious, and stressed, when someone started following me 'way too closely on a busy road. (I've been rear-ended twice, both times in the DC area. In both instances, the person in front of me slammed on their brakes, and I was watching, and had left enough space to stop, but the person behind me did not. So I get anxious in situations when someone follows me too closely, especially on wet or icy roads.)

Sure enough, someone in front of me slammed their brakes on. The person behind me swerved around badly on the ice and nearly skidded off the road entirely. I said a rather mean "Ha!" in my head, although of course I didn't want her to get hurt. After that, she slowed down.

I need to get back to work, but first, a break, perhaps a quick nap. The only problem with that is, I never want to resume work. 😄

I hope everyone is having a good day.
 
An update on from my morning post, I did take a long walk this morning, about 8 blocks {25 min}strolled to my church a beautiful,sunny but cold,,temp at that time was 25 it didn't; bother me.. As I was walking I heard a couple robins chirping,spring is coming soon
When I left, walked across the street, just happen to turn around, saw a local bus was coming, perfect timing. I was back home within an hr
 
Good morning Peeps of SF... 🙋‍♀️

It's just after 8am.. and beautifully sunny.🌻🌞🌞🌞

I've been up since 6am..went to bed at 3.. and just woke up at 6 and couldn't get back to sleep.... :unsure:

I was hoping today would be sunny all day, but according to the forecast that's not going to be the case and in fact it will become cloudy most of the day, which is a shame because I wanted to go and get some spring photos..

Anyway we'll see what the day brings.... ..have the best Tuesday you can.... 🌸🌺🌼

It's 2pm... and it's sunny.. ish... but it feels very warm....

The morning started off really sunny.. 🌞🌞and when I went out at 10am.. it was very warm in the car...

I decided instead of coing to the farm today.. I would take a big Bag of donations to the charity shop which is in a different town... ... and drop that off... but from there I needed to go to Costco which is some miles up the motorway from the first town.. to a much larger town..

I haven't been to Costco since I got my new car and I've had the car now 8 months... so things needed replenishing... .. also I needed to go to M&S and several other places in that town. M&S car park was packed.. and it's a really big car park... I'm throughly convinced hardly anyone goes to work these days.. It was like a busy Saturday rather than a Tuesday morning.. ..

On the way back, at the next village to where I live I stopped at the churchyard and took a couple of pics of the Daffodils, they look so pretty ...

The Petrol station at Costco which has a lot of Fuel Pumps, was packed.. the queues were right around the car park.. and lots of the pumps were locked off..empty.... people panicking because of the Middle east conflict, and we get most of our oil from the Middle East.. and they bombed our oil tanker the other day

It took me 5 trips to get everything out of the car and into the house and barn.. ... I was soo hot by the time I finished... but it means I'm stocked up for probably 6 months with non food items 🥵
 
@Rae I can't really see what your avatar is.. because you've blocked off anyone from viewing your profile so that means we can't enlarge your avatar to see the picture.. :unsure:

It's only just 2.20pm now..I really can't believe how much I've done today and how far I've driven to do it.... but I meant to say I put on a new pair of shoes.. I've only worn them once before and they were very comfortable.... today they nearly killed my feet. They're nice leather loafers.. but they're clearly not meant to be walked in for long.

After I'd walked around Costco, and before I'd gone anywhere else.. my feet were killing me.. I was walking like a drunk.. because I could feel every stone under my feet..😩

With my last car which was a lot bigger I used to carry a spare pair of trainers with me in the boot, for just such an occasion but this Kia is much smaller so I can't really take up space with oddments like I used to...

It's going to be another 36–48 hours glued to the computer in an attempt to meet deadlines. And then I will have a dry spell, which worries me. I've been in a frustrating position of needing to drum up more work but too busy with current work to take the time to squeeze those efforts in.

I have to get away from my desk for just a bit, so I'm running out to the grocery store and to top up my gas tank before prices skyrocket more than I'm sure they already have. I'm a little anxious about that.
 
Good day to All! It is noon and 67°.

I am down to cleaning the big living room for when company gets here. I am still sick and tired of fake Lady Beatles. It appears, even though Walmart shows they carry the Harris Asian Lady beetle killer, they don’t carry it in the store and neither does anybody else in town. Ask me how happy that makes me.😤😤 For now, I am just running the vacuum ad nauseum.

I have lunch ready for the horses, now all I have to do is go down and feed them. Watching them out the window today, Duncan my 30-Ish horse, is on the lame side. I know why. He’s been x-rayed. There is nothing I can do except to keep him on the supplements I have him on, or he would be even more lame. It comes and goes, depending how busy he gets in the pasture, or if he happens to step down wrong.🙁

Then I have to unload 150 pounds of horsefeed out of the car, plus the dog food, plus the birdseed, I bought yesterday. The groceries are already in the house.

I hope everyone has a great day however you choose to spend it.😇
 
My hip has been playing up for some weeks now, it's pretty painful... and it's on the same leg as my bad knee the one I'm waiting for a replacement for...

I was sent to have an X ray on it last month ( the Hip and my lower back).. but because of the way our NHS is .. I won't get the results of that until the 13th of March when my GP will call

Today coming back from shopping my hip was killing me as I was driving, and I was never more happy that I wasn't even further away .. where I often am.. because I could just bear it enough to get home and no more.. 😧

Well this evening I was sitting watching TV and having dinner.. and afterwards I came to come upstairs and the Pain was so bad in my hip..worse than it's ever been.. that I could barely climb the stairs.. it really made feel nauseous

I have Co-codomol 30/500mg prescribed for the pain, but does anyone have any better solutions?
