October 2019... Share your Day...

Good Morning Ladies & Gents... Well, today is Sunday, Wish time would slow down a little bit... Going a tad too quick for me... Yesterday the Green Man came, and we are getting a NEST 3 Thermostat for free, but I am also getting a Charcoal Filter put in for $50 a month... But I know with the nest I will save some money on my electricity and propane... They are installing it on Monday evening... Yesterday we ended up at my Sister - in - Laws (Lorie's Sister) and ended up cutting some logs for my niece for next year... She'll get about a face cord, but it's good wood... maple and Ash... Good hardwood for burning... But it's a way to green for this year's burn...

Today, going to take it a lot easier unless it doesn't rain all day. I have a tree I have to cut up, that I cut down on Friday... It was deader than dead, pretty much shattered when it hit the ground... If it rains, then I wanna figure out how I am going to finish the wall I tore down between the kitchen and dining room... It will be the open concept but have to finish part of the wall I tore out and the wall behind the stove... Hard to explain...

Well, Kids, that it for my plans, may go back to bed, and get a few more winks... I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless YOU all...

There are no services at my church this morning,instead our congregation will go to another church with a guest preacher.The 1 service starts at 11am,to me the day is half gone,considering I'm an early morning person I'm taking a 'time out' this Sun.Our minister has just returned from his 4 month sabattical but he won't be preaching.
This afternoon,I'm joining my next door neighbor,Pat at her daughter's new apt.I helped Lisa a couple months ago clean before she moved in.I was in the kitchen cleaning cabinets/washing sink.I have so far to walk,don't know if I can handle it,she's across the street in the back LOL!
 
Sunday. Since retiring we've lost track of days and Sunday is just another day here.
Up at the farm this morning to help move the pigs from their paddock into the barn, then an informal lunch with our farming friends. Back home and did a bit of redecorating work in the bathroom. Time for a coffee and then prepare dinner. We're having a Guinea fowl - better taste than chicken.

Its week # 3 with our elevator in repairs,my knees are adjusting walking up/down stairs 3-4 times/day,giving knees daily exercise besides going on my walks.I've find myself lately dozing in my recliner around 9pm for couple min when I turn on TV LOL!
This morning,I'm at Canopy of Neighbors,calling other members about upcoming events they may be interested in
 
Got all my errands done with my son driving me everywhere...luv being the passenger for a change...and finished my H'ween decorating with two pumpkins sitting on the front porch....now I'm in the spirit...isnt the two to three weeks before a festivity the most fun with anticipation...for me it is, heehee....šŸ˜¬šŸ‘»šŸŽƒšŸŽƒ
 
Started out a good day. Went to my grief group meeting, always helpful. About a half hour after I got home, my big brother called from Conn. and we had a good talk.
Then this evening it hit the fan. I was watching one of my favorite shows 9-1-1. It had a positive ending, but at the end, I decided to just burst into tears for some unknown reason . Now sure what brought that on.
 
Well, yesterday was a very sleepy day for me and that's just what I did a lot of-sleep that is.

Got a new 13 gallon wastebasket delivered for the kitchen because the very old one just had seen so many better days. I like the new one and it's black to match my new rug, curtain and pattern in the floor. Now wasn't that exciting?! I'll bet..lol

Called the cabbie about picking us up for our groomer appointment on Tues. It's going to be 2 round trips because I have to drop her off and come back and pick her up and go home. I'm thinking I won't schedule another grooming appointment until January. My dog will be getting shaggier by then but that's okay for the winter. She will need her fur.

Just taking the days as they come and getting through them. Looking forward to a better mood. ;)
 
well the sun is out but chilly morn --- hope I feel better than yesterday' as I get hypertension and it stinks have to say '
in other words anxious dont ask me why lol.... so had brekky 'then get ready to go out get a few errands in ā€¦ had electrician come did my lights in the hall ' so job done .. :)
 
Yesterday I had a fairly rotten day....raging toothache so in the dentist chair for an hour and a quarter but fortunately no need for an extraction... felt poorly all day. light-headed and weak with a pounding headache!!

However I did get some good news about my fore-casted pension, so that cheered me up quite a bit .

Only 11.30am today so aside from emptying all the waste bins and putting the wheelie bin out, I've done nothing !!

Up early this morning and went up to the farm to help load the pigs into the livestock trailer.
We managed eventually and got them off to the abattoir. Should get them back on Monday all being well.

When we first started helping with the pigs, I wondered how I'd feel when they went for the chop, but I was unaffected by it.
 
This morning I was at Canopy at Neighbors,calling a couple more members,then did some filing
This afternoon,I strolled over to Marcia&Dave's to see if I could take my favorite dog,'Aker' on a walk.Marcia had just come home,when I walked into the living room,'bb{buddy boy,my nickname for him} wasn't there. As soon as he heard my voice,he raced down the stairs,happy to see me wagging his tail. He 'took' me on 2 block walk,very happy to be outside on a beautiful day
I'll be taking him tomorrow afternoon for a walk, Marcia will be at lunch with friends
 
Today went okay and I'm glad for that. Took my dog to the groomer for the first time in a cab. We had to make 2 round trips because the groomer doesn't allow you to sit and wait. Had to go home and come back 2.5 hours later.

Going to take the dog out for another walk soon. Waiting for the energy fairy..lol :)

Oh Marie, sometimes it's so hard being alone after losing someone dear. Especially when the end of year starts....we all think of hearth and home; holidays, etc. It' bound to happen and perfectly normal for you to cry. I'm glad you confided in us.
 
Good Morning Kids... Well, yesterday was breakfast day with the boys, everyone showed up, and we had good talks, laughs, and a GREAT breakfast... Got the right side garage door working again, took us all day, but she is working again... Today, going to finish up cutting the trees up that we cut down last week... Get the legs put up for Lorie's slant shack she wants to be built. maybe cut Carl's pen, and then I can start winterizing all the summer equipment... Finally got some of the income tax from last year fixed when I was looking for tips on the income tax when I found this wonderful site a few months ago... Well Ladies and Gentleman, I hope YOU all have a wonderful day... God Bless YOU all...

Today is a little better than yesterday. Yesterday morning my daughter took my husband to the ER. He was having strong pain in his stomach and around to the back. After a few tests they said he had Pancreatitis . They admitted him put him on morphine and intervenes for fluids. They kept him overnight and then this morning they said he needed an MRI with Dye. Of course they don't do that at the hospital where he was at. So they discharged him and my daughter had to get a permission from a Gastro Dr to have it done. I think he will be having the test Friday morning if all the paperwork is correct. He is home now and napping. I pray tommorrow is better and that everything comes out good with his MRI on Friday.

Sure hope he's ok Sassy...my mother in law had her gall bladder out, after an attack.
 
Well, today we closed the pool up. Its a day early - we usually shut it down on Oct. 10th, but we've got things to do tomorrow. Its usually kind of sad, as it signals "winters coming", but since we've retired, we don't mind it so much.

That's one of the great things we've noticed about retirement...you can slow down & actually enjoy the seasonal changes way more than when you were rushing from pillar to post or traveling all over the place for work.

Kids got back from a great trip overseas. They had mechanical trouble in Paris, but rebooked on an Air France flight and flew topside on a 747 - the "true" First Class and really enjoyed their whole stay. They live up north and we live down south. Don't relish the drive up there (hub hates flying these days) but we might need to go anyway as my oldest and best friend is in a nursing home and is coming back home so it would be really nice to see her, too. Been talking to her and her daughter a lot over the last few weeks.

Its nice to enjoy, isn't it?!
