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

The incision from my hernia surgery 5 days ago is a lot less painful now, but the adhesive tape holding the 4 X 4 in. bandage that I change every day is pulling on the shaved area in a really irritating way every single time I move. Sorry if that seems vulgar.
After 5 days why haven't they removed the bandage yet? It should be pretty well healed.
 

Good afternoon Folks...
Well today I was planning to wash and wax the truck, and polish up the insides, but never happened, Started by working on the garden instead... Got rid of all the weeds and dandelions, tomorrow if I get some sleep, which I didn't get last night... I will spread the new earth and peat moss...

Today we had company stop in, kept our distance, but mother - in law and niece stopped in...

I had a couple of beers and then a couple of Gin and Tonic's... and now really ready for bed... HaHa

Well, I hope YOU all have a GREAT evening, and Please Keep Safe... and God Bless YOU all
 
I'm making some nice gentleman friends on the site I go to. Finally, some that are kind and understanding. All I am looking for is someone that will be a good friend. Someone to go out to dinner with some time or a movie or comedy club. That'll be nice when the time is right. Got to make sure the guy I choose is a safe person.

Cleaned my bathroom. I love the smell of the bathroom after I clean everything with bleach products. Smells so fresh. Need to do some more laundry. I may still do it tonight. Seems the laundry room is not busy very late.

I finally got a dog carrier. It's really nice and big so she will have room. But I think if I have to use it some time I will need someone stronger to carry it. It's kind of heavy and with her weight in it would be too heavy for me to carry.

Been getting so many things to be delivered. Things I need, though. I've not bought anything extravagant unless you count the nice face veil I got..lol

I really have got to put a new cover on the birds cage and wash the cover under it, too. It's been awhile. The cage is always clean, though. Behind the stand there are on are bird feathers I've got to vacuum.

Going to make an omelette for dinner tonight..having a late one.

I hope everyone has a nice day, night or whatever..;):D
 
@hollydolly Wow, talk about social distancing coming to a sudden stop. Looks like no one there thinking too seriously, shame and sad.
I know , it's really disheartening. They've only just lifted the rule on people meeting up with a relative from another household.. but only one at a time.. and supposedly at a 2 metre distance in a public area.. this is typical of people taking a mile when given an inch!!. :(
 
This is a close-up of my cactus. It's probably around 6 feet tall in the pot. I had 2 itchy spots on my arm this morning and little blistery bumps. I looked close and picked out little part of cactus needles that had broken off and embedded in me. This is a dangerous plant! LOL

I was up and out early this morning!

The first stop was the Regional Farmers Market to pick up some pots for Memorial Day.

I made the rounds of the local cemeteries and was impressed/surprised that they have been mowed and kept up during the pause.

The final stop was the local Wegman's for groceries. The store was well stocked and busy with a long line to the checkout.

It seemed good to get out for a drive. I drove more this morning than I have in the last five weeks and this is the first time I've driven above 55MPH in over two months.

Life is different but it's still good!
 
Good Morning everyone! Sun is shining so looking forward to trying to walk around the park today. Using my walker. I feel that I need the exercise after spending so much time inside and not doing any walking most of the time. I hadn't been on here in a few days. Kind of in the dumps so getting myself out of it today. I need to get outside! Hope you all have a great day! And sunshine!

Good for you getting out, Katlupe. It's sunny here in CT too. I'm stuck in the same dump you are, so this afternoon I hope to get out as well. Enjoy your outing.
 
Its been another beautiful day here in Buffalo,not a cloud in the sky.Yesterday's high was 76,today a bit warmer.
I did light cleaning this morning with the Lysol disinfected wipes I bought a month ago at Walgreens.When I went on my mid morning walk around 10:45,birds were really chirping
After lunch&nap,went outside in the back of our community garden,did 'social distancing' from 2 other residents,we all had our masks on.I had sunscreen on as usual,stayed for an hr 1/2
 
Good Morning,

Well still playing in the dirt, the vegetable garden is just about a go... then decided I had better spit up the hosta's and put some in the front of the house, So now digging up those weeds... found one of those non-weed sheets, well that didn't do anything for us, what a waste of money...

So back to playing in the dirt today... Suppose to be sunny and +28 today, I better check the pool and make sure it's not turning green...

Well, I hope YOU all have a wonderful day... Keep Safe... and God Bless Everyone...
 
When I went on my early morning walk at 6:45 to get Bflo News/USA Today temp was 56,wearing shorts/pullover,didn't see anybody. The birds were chirping
This morning at 10,attending a garden comm meeting in the back of our community garden.My 'job' the past 2 yrs has been watering some plants in the garden
Afterwards,my friend/resident,Thora&I will be going to local grocery store,TOPS,just need a couple of items.After lunch&nap,will take a short walk or sit in the garden depending if the sun is still out
 
Holiday weekend here, very sunny, and 75 degrees, about 10 deg less than yesterdyay ... not sure how many people will be benefitting from the holiday Monday now that so many people still haven't returned to work.. everyone usually looks forward to these holidays..schools , colleges, offices, some shops... and it's a big money maker for hospitality.. beaches.. car parks take millions in revenue in tourist places.. but not this year.. because there's very little open aside from beaches.. even public toilets aren't open so goodness knows where people are going while they're crowded onto those beaches..

This morning I haven't done anything but some small chores, and sit out in the garden in the sun..

Yesterday was a very busy day.. . We had a ton of shingle delivered which had to be laid in the garden. The delivery man was a fool he'd brought the shingle without having any method of getting it off his truck, no swing crane or anything. , so the neighbouring men all came out with various tools to aid with lifting it off the truck.:oops:

I had a zoom appointment with my consultant.. He was a Zoom virgin, and he was talking from his home, we chatted for about 1/2 hour then I got an appt for next week to see him. The Private Doctors are only permitted to work one day a week at their clinic during this pandemic, while they help to fight the Virus on the NHS the rest of the time. ..so having to wait another week to see him means hopefully that he'll be on the front line helping to keep someone who can't afford private fees , alive..


Several parcel also arrived yesterday... and most of the day we were in the garden working ..

Hubs back to work today..
 
It's a rainy day today but the temperature is pretty good and about 60 degrees.

For the past two days I have mostly been resting and sleeping in order not to use my sprained wrist too much. I want this to heal already but it seems it's taking so long and probably because I've been using it too much. I bought wrist wrap that has a cold insert pack that stabilizes the wrist and is soothing with the cold. I've also been using another cold wrap that I have in between the times of using the other ones.

Hopefully this wrist will get better. I'm really tired of this.

Anyways I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend.
 
This afternoon when I strolled around the apt complex,notice our summer garden chairs/tables with umbrellas were there YIPPEE! There are 2 black tables in the back by the grill area,2 white tables in the front.In the past there were 4 chairs per table,now there are 2, to keep our 'social distancing'
I love sitting on the white chairs,black ones are not comfortable I'm a happy camper'
