May 2020... Please Tell us about your Day... May Flowers should be Appearing...

I had a Wonderful day today. My Daughter had me and my husband (her Daddy)over
for dinner to celebrate our 54th Wedding anniversary .She made a delicious dinner and yummy desert. Her daughter my 9yr old granddaughter drew beautiful pictures for me and hubby and gave us a very touching card that she picked out herself. Then my daughter surprised us with a Zoom call to my 2 grandson's . One is 24yrs old the other is 22yrs old. They both had to work today but we were able to see them and talk to them. Nothing could be better than that. Except for the fact that my son couldn't be there because he wasn't feeling well the day was PERFECT !
 

Congrats @Sassycakes on the 54 years... Well done... Today that is a very hard accomplishment... Again Congrats on your 54 years together...

G'day everyone... Well not a lot to report today, except had to buy a new pump for the pool which I will install tomorrow (today...Friday)

My truck was supposed to go in for new plugs this morning, but they called me the last minute and told me they can't do it because they don't have anyone with that kind of experience, I was shocked, anyhow, made another appointment with someone else on this Tuesday at 10:30

Well, that's about everything, so I hope YOU all have a GREAT day.... Keep Safe, and God Bless YOU all

In your defense, Micka (not that you need any!) :LOL:

it is truly a very short season, up North, to do anything with the yard,
plus you were trying to do something constructive, and you should dress however you need and are comfortable!

(Even though we do sometimes notice that we ourselves, look a bit funny or odd. :):rolleyes:)
 
Good follow-up visit with the surgeon today. He took the patch off and said it looked pretty darn good. Time will tell if the retina reverts to the distortion or will remain at least better. He backed down on the cataract replacement lens and said it doesn't look as damaged as he first thought. Hallelujah!

I now only have to spend a couple more days face down and then I have to spend a week several hours a day (and all night) on my back but propped up about a third of the way. THAT I can do! The face down is the pits.

I can see only light and colors out of the eye now, but it should start improving soon.

I look like I've gone ten rounds with Joe Palooka. Droopy swollen black eye, vampire eyeball. I'm sure everyone thinks the Spousal Equivalent punched me.....

@jujube Hope your recovery goes well, sounds like you've got a lot of do's and don'ts......i'm sure it will be well worth it, when your sight returns to more like normal. Take care.

Please keep us posted on how this is going. I have a similar issue with my left eye and I continue to debate whether or not to go forward with this surgery, …. which is a bit on the risky side for me.
 
Nothing much happening here today. I took my garbage out and it is pretty hot out there. I am doing a small load of laundry in a minute since I scoped out the laundry room and it is empty. Then going to bake some chicken and cornbread in my NuWave oven and hard boil eggs and macaroni in the Instant Pot (macaroni salad) for supper later. I was up at six this morning to work on my blog. Still working on my resources page (never ending really on that). Have a good day everyone!
 
I went shopping the other day. Which day, I don't know but it wasn't yesterday. Must have been the day before. I can't tell anymore.

I also picked up my mail.

After putting away my groceries, I left the mail in a plastic bag on the floor in the entry. It seemed to be sitting on another empty plastic bag. Ah, so what... I'll get to the mail whenever.

Today, while cleaning, I picked up the bag of mail to deal with and saw that the bag underneath it had $7.18 worth of boneless chicken breasts in it. It also began to smell as soon as I uncovered it.

I took it outside with the rest of the trash to the dumpster. Ugh!

This isn't the only forgotten chicken story I have.

Years and years ago, I was dating a guy for awhile. One day we decided to go grocery shopping together. He drove. We loaded our groceries into his trunk and went back to his house.

I was ready to go home of course, so he kindly unloaded my stuff into my car.

Several days later, I searched my freezer and fridge for the chicken. No where to be found. I called my friend an yup, he found it in his trunk stinking to high heaven. He was using his bike every day and hadn't gone into his car at all.
 
This morning around 8:30 I did something I haven't done in quite awhile,take a long walk
I walked to/from Walgreens which is 8 blocks from my apt building,took me 25 min each way.I was a bit surprised it didn't take me longer considering I have osterarthritis in my left knee. In the past,this is how long it usually took me to get there,I was pleased
The store has gone back to its usual hours 24/7, noticed on a shelf they were selling hand santizers,bxs of cotton masks 20 for $30,10 for $15. They were still out of Kleenex but had toilet paper I bought a couple of items I needed ,when I got home I collapsed into my recliner
I passed on taking my afternoon walk since the weather is cool/cloudy.I've had my exercise for the day
 
Haven't been doing much different than I usually do, chores, preparing meals, feeding pet family, taking doggie walks. Also trying to keep doing the physical therapy I found on Youtube for my hand/wrist--the physical therapist on there said to make sure you don't stop doing them if you have pain but cut back and I'm trying to do just that. To anybody reading this--try to make sure you never twist your wrist the wrong way--it is hard to get it back to way it used to be, that is, without pain with movement.

So, I'm cutting back but still doing some of the exercises. I can feel a bit of a strengthening in my hand and I guess that's a good thing.

That's the second worst thing in the world...chicken……. I had a pound of hamburger that had slipped out of a grocery bag and was under the driver's seat. Summer in Florida....need I say more? Next day there's a faint odor wafting around. Next day, there's nothing faint about the odor.

Worst thing? My sister left two lobsters in her trunk in a Florida August for THREE DAYS. We thought she'd have to burn the car.

Osteoarthritis is what I have in both of my knees too. Every time I feel like I can walk (with a walker) I feel great till the next day. Then I can't do it again. I could never walk without a walker 8 blocks. Good for you to be able to do that! My stores are beginning to get stocked up again.

These comments reminded me of a prank that my father and his friends used to pull when they were young.

They would spread Limburger cheese on the manifold pipes of a car so the fumes from the bubbling cheese would fill the car and continue until all of the cheese finally burned off of the pipes.

My own mishap revolved around breaking a full glass milk bottle and having the milk sink into the carpet of my 1976 Camaro.

I did my best to clean up the milk but in a few days, it ripened and continued to smell for several months.
