July 2019 ~ Please Share your Day...

Good Morning One and all... Sitting here listening to the coyotes' howl... I like the sound they make... Well went for breakfast as I said yesterday, came home, Buddies always come here after breakfast, where we have a McDonald's coffee, and they help around the place if I need help... Well, guess what, the very heavy pipe is out, took 4 of us to lift it 4' up and out of the deck, and very very heavy, and there is cement in the bottom where I was cutting...

So the picture didn't take of the post that we took out, will have to take another pic of it, also got the stairs started, and will have to get another pic of it. Lorie got the entire floor put down in the sunroom. So it was a very busy day around here... Today I go and see my Chronic Pain Doctor, and tomorrow morning it's my appointment with my diabetic doctor...

@hollydolly great pics, Thank you for sharing...

Well, I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... It's Hump Day...

Yes, @hollydolly they seem to be very hard to get into and see... There's a shortage of them for sure...

Well, another day has flown by. Saw the chronic pain doctor, and go back late September... Today is the diabetic doctor... So yet another trip to the city... Been to the city quite often lately, and I hate driving in the city...
 
This morning was one of my volunteer mornings {Fri is other day}at my church in business office,doing my weekly computer tasks
My afternoon walk,I went over to my close friends,Marcia&Dave to give them their copy of our church Aug newsletter.Marcia was outside in front garden,hubby Dave came out to say hello.The next thing I hear is family dog,Aker,whimpering because he heard my voice. I turned towards him,he was standing by the screen door,so I went inside.He was so happy to see me,wagging his tail.I bent down to give him a hug,he licked my nose.It made my day,love that dog
 
My day was okay but probably boring to read...lol. It's about the same thing every day for me. Waiting on the car shop to call me to tell me my car is done.

Dog and I took a walk this morning. My toes were feeling strangely so took off my sock and the smallest one is swollen and red and purple. Then I recalled I hit it into the couch last night but I didn't feel much for it to look so purpley. I'm glad it doesn't hurt a lot. Often when I hit one of my toes into something it hurts bad right away and isn't bruised looking. I must have hit if at a different angle. Hurts to touch it though. It should be okay soon.

Finished off some banana nut bread I bought. I just love to have my sweets at times! My sugar reading was good this morning so I'm not worried about the cake.
Didn't do much else but watch tv today.

I hope it goes well at your Doctors' offices Mike.
 
Not sure if it's Good Evening or Good Morning, Only cuz I haven't been to bed yet...

Doctors went well. Told me that my A!C was one of the best I've had for quite some time now, so I guess the new drug is working better than Metformin, it was starting to give me lots of stomach problems. So my A1C for this time was 5.9, and then I get home and have a high sugar which knocked me out for a couple of hours. Also told me I lost another 5 pounds, and only have 30 more to go...

Finished installing the new stairs on the deck in the dog pen... Going to work on the deck if it doesn't get as hot as they are calling, suppose to be in the '40s with humidity.

Hope YOU all have a great Friday...
 
@Bonnie , well the forecast was wrong, the rains have broken the heat by about 20 deg this morning.:p Currently we have Thunder & lightening storm and heavy rain.. although now it's starting to ease off and the sun is appearing again, but at least the temps have dropped although still verrrry humid, so the fans are still working at full capacity in this house, and windows are open despite the rain!!

Today I'm staying home, after all the activity this week, my back is not thanking me, it took me a good 5 minutes to stand up out f bed this morning..., and so I have to rest it...
 
A few pics from our jaunt yesterday...

No brewski's for me today.

Norman...try standing at the sink...like when brushing your teeth or washing, on one foot for 25 seconds and then the other foot. That is said to improve balance.
 
Good Morning Kids... Happy Saturday to YOU all...

Yesterday was pretty busy, got the box of the truck cleaned up, that was driving me nuts, but it's done now... I got the stairs pretty much done... I'll post a picture in the next day or so. Got the new tree's watered cuz it been so dry and hot, so gave them a good watering...

Today I might start the new deck, I was looking at what I have left for the summer projects, and that is back deck. Lorie wants a little shack that she and the boys have somewhere to sit in the shed out of the sun... Be good for the Grandson too

And when that is all done, I want to work on the truck body, catch the little rust before it turns into holes. I also want to give the utility trailer a cleanup, new paint, etc...

Well Kids, hope YOU all have a GREAT day... God Bless YOU all...
 
I had another crap day today--felt totally out of it for most of the day. Don't know why either. Feeling better for the past half hour--don't know why either but glad not to feel like crap anymore. Got my clothes together preparing to wash them, threw out my crappy purse and got another one out to load up, defrosted some chicken for tonight's meal, polished the coffee table, drank a lot of water, ate 2 meals so far, put flea liquid on my dog, fed all the pets, took the dog for 1 walk so far today, turned the AC on--hey maybe that's why I'm feeling better--it is a hot day.
 
I've had a stay at home day, it's been raining all day, and anyway I had to wait in for a delivery of another tower fan...

Did nothing pretty much all morning , hubs was at work, so I thought I'd laze around but then he finished much earlier than expected and got home around 2pm so my lazy day was gone..

Cooked dinner, and burnt my hand (4 fingers) badly on the sheet pan, OUCH!!!!!! 😧 dropped the whole thing dinner and all onto the kitchen floor and ran my fingers under the tap for 10 minutes before applying aloe vera gel



Watched a 2 hour long film..(an old British movie from the 60's)...very unusual for me to sit through a whole film...

..and that's been my day folks...

Hope you're feeling better now @Ruthanne
 
I'm fed up!! This morning a Sparrow-hawk has taken 2 of our collared doves.. It's carnage out there, with feathers everywhere!! :eek:

Oh I know they're wild birds (the doves) but they are regular visitors to our garden and as close to tame as they can be and they nest and raise their young in our trees, we know them individually...

We've already protected our little birds with caged feeders...so the SH's can't get to them but the Doves and pigeons feed on the ground, and the Sparrowhawks even fly right into the trees and snatch them off the nest!!

I know all the argument about it being ''nature'' and the SH's have a right to live too...... I don't care, I'm sick and tired of their murdering attacks and eating the birds alive. It really upsets me!!🥺

I want to shoot them..but the bleeding heart do gooders , would be up in arms...( unintended pun)
 
Good Morning Ladies & Gents...
Well, it's Sunday morning, Had company yesterday, came over to use the pool, Helme get the pipe I cut out down to the garage. I want to clean it up, and put in my metal scrap pile to take in and make some money, eventually. Not lots planned today, maybe drive into the city and visit Lorie's Mom...

I hope YOU all have a good day, and Ruthanne, hoe YOU feel better...
God Bless
Mike

Thanks Holly. Just turned the AC back on. Hoping it will make me feel better. It's so muggy here; makes a person feel all washed out. I hope your hand gets better.
