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

A decent Tuesday. Work on our new resin driveway started this morning. Also Tai Chi class this morning was good. This afternoon I went chasing a convoy of two steam locos and a nice diesel - and happened across a group of sheep with very new lambs. Took pix :)

This evening I'm off to my local pub for a 'Moo & Blue' pie and a few beers.

My day started out with a shock, but only a small one. I got in my car, put it in reverse to back out of the driveway and looked at the rear view camera display. All I could see was a face. A green face with big eyes looking at me.

Yep, there was a lizard looking into the lens in the back. Not what I was expecting.

I am being moved shortly to a rehab located in manhattan between soho and the west village. I am nervous. I want to go home to my cats but can’t.
Like the location of this place in area where I spent many happy times in my teens and twenties.

Not close to son but at least it’s in manhattan and not Brooklyn where DIL wanted to send me.

Will be missing seeing my family on almost daily basis.

I really need to go home

Going today, or a different day, this week?
Thinking of you. 🙁❤️
 
No @packleader as I said above... this was my DD's father, my first husband.... we were married when we were young in the mid 70's.. he was in the Royal Navy

We divorced after 11 years because he was financially irresponsible ..he was a gambler.. always gambled away all of his salary...

ETA...the husband I divorced a few months ago after 25 years marriage was the one who cheated on me and tore my finances apart.... Unfortunately Karma has not delivered a strike on him as of yet !....that I know of.....

As I was cooking my supper this evening and thinking about the family reunion that will be here in July, it occurred to me that my meager supply of dishes will be insufficient. Either I will find some at the thrift store or we will be eating off of paper plates. Since I do not have a dishwasher, it's going to be paper, lol. This tickled my funny bone.
 
Good Morning Peeps of SF.... 🌞🌷

It's 9.45m and a beautiful sunny morning as predicted.... I'm having a cuppa tea, and then I'm going out of here and making the most of the sunshine.....

I've got a gardener here today.
He is mainly tidying and bagging up stuff to go to the tip, but he came to the back door earlier with a glass jar he'd dug up and inside the jar were 6 half crowns.
This jar must have been buried in the ground before I came to live here.
Anyway, I told Keith to keep them as they might have a value. He was so chuffed. 😊

Keith has just called and told me that the 6 half crowns (George V 1935) would have a high silver content, so they may have a value more than the 15 shillings 😊.
I wonder what was significant about 1935, more as I find out. Are you smiling? 😊

@Pepper, you’re a tough NYC cookie. You can deal with this. We’ll be cheering you on.

I’m not feeling tough. I feel sad weak and afraid. The constant pain—excruciating at times. The loneliness. The boredom. Missing my cats and so sorry to cause them loneliness. The fear I will lose my legs. Will I ever be home again.

I could go on and on. I’m so beat down. It’s five full months today since I’ve been hospitalized.

I’m thankful for you all having faith in me

Thanks so much for sticking with me. I need you more than I can say.

I’m hungry. Wish they would serve breakfast. I think I smell food
 
Morning all, its a bit cold at the moment,19,will wait til mid morning to take a walk
When I opened my apt door, sitting on my table were Mon&Tues{they never were delivered yesterday} NYT, along with today's paper. I'll be reading for awhile then tackle the daily crossword puzzles
No real plans today,ck to see what today's lunch& dinner menu is offering
I may go out for afternoon walk when temps will be in the mid 30's
Everybody have a good day
 
@Pepper

So many times in my life, people have told me "You are tough" or "strong", or as my Mother used to say, "You have grit." I hated it because it was always when something awful was happening and I sure didn't feel that way; those comments just made me angry. It felt like a way for the speaker to dump all responsibility on me. "You're tough" sounds like "I'm not gonna help, you're on your own." This is just me, not casting fault on anybody because I think people mean that in a helpful way? IDK.

There are no magic words. How I wish there were, though. Thinking of you.

I'm just popping in to say "hello"! I'll be leaving after breakfast for day two of running around with my Mom.

Mom's handyman is a neighbor who has become a very good friend. He's going to be coming to my Mom's house for a cuppa this morning. He's been doing all kinds of work for her, and he never asks for any money. So today, I want to pay him and clear the bill! 💰💰💰

After that, Mom and I will go to Wal-Mart. I expect to get home sometime in the late afternoon. We should have a nice day, so maybe I can go for a walk.

I hope everyone has a good day!
