What are you doing today 2023

[NorthernLight]

I read until 5 am, then woke at 8 am. So I'll see how I feel. Anyway, this is the plan:

Exercise 45 minutes. My exercises aren't strenuous, so it should be possible.

Vacuum and clean bedroom.

Maybe I'll look for nonfiction book club ideas. We haven't had our first meeting yet, but it already looks like we're going to scrap the Schopenhauer. We're doing the 1883 translation (because it's public domain/free online), and it's just too difficult for most: the sentence structure, the slightly different use of certain words (e.g., "should") ... The group leader said someone wanted to do World War II history, which I wouldn't like.

I really do have to clear the sNOw from on and around my car, either today or tomorrow. My back feels 90% better already, so we'll see.

Seeing a doctor to refill my meds. This doc does absolutely nothing but refill my meds. Doesn't even listen to my heart. Doesn't touch me at all. Does his five minutes & then I get my refills. This is my PCP. His assistant, or whoever she is, takes my BP. That's it. Takes hours to go, see him for 5 minutes, go home.

Same here..takes weeks unless it's an emergency.. to get to see a Doctor , and then we're allowed 8 mins max.. so everything is rushed , and we're only allowed to mention one problem at a time which is ridiculous because often one problem is the cause of another..

 

[Pepper]

That's not it @hollydolly. This doc is just lazy. I've used him for years because he's in the neighborhood. I can get a better doctor if I cared enough to try. It's my specialists who have been saving my life, not this particular doc.

Been out today.. beautiful day but a little bit cold.

I'm absolutely peed off about my Mac, something has created a problem which essentially has stopped my whatsapp from working.. even tho' I've downloaded a new version.. also my Mail box keeps telling me it's full and I need to clear it to get mail.. but it;s clear,.. grrr!!

I think it might be because my Eset security ran out at the beginning of the month, but I didn't know because the notification would have gone to Estranged O/H.. and now I've had to pay for a new version of Eset Security.. but it wasn't until I paid for it that it said the installation instructions would be sent to the original email..which is my ESTRANGED O/H...

I'm going to have to get someone to repair this Computer but I have no idea who...

Anyway been out today... here's a little photo of my friend in a nearby paddock..

Pepper, this is all too common now, my friend is going through this daily with hospitals and medical people...so sad.

My PCP who I had seen for 15+ years retired a year ago. I was heartbroken. The young “whippersnapper” that replaced him barely spoke to me and didn’t even touch me at our first visit. He did do okay with refilling meds. but I found a new PCP I like much better. So sorry you are dealing with these issues.

Today I am getting packed to go out of town to visit my sister-in-law. She will have her 90th birthday on Thursday. Her daughter, my niece, will be there as well. It will be good to see her since she and her husband got the flu just before Christmas and couldn’t travel for that holiday. So we will celebrate Birthday and a belated Christmas.

Goodnight George !

Thank you Holly, yesterday evening I wasn't logged in anymore but noticed it nevertheless.

 

[NorthernLight]

The power went out in the building (and probably the neighborhood, perhaps the whole town). It might be too-much-sNOw related. I have to rethink my day.

For starters, I haven't had my coffee quota. So I'm having a caffeinated soft drink.

Last year when there was a prolonged outage, the grocery store had to throw out almost all their meat. Such a shame.

Some pics of our garden this afternoon.

 

[RadishRose]

So far showered, washed my few dishes, ate a ham sandwich, will be feeding my dog in a bit.

Then, a walk with her and go to the store for a few things. I might make soup. Not feeling very energetic today.

My French cousin would be delighted. He was a jockey. None of his two children inherited his love for horses.

Had a blocked waste trap in the kitchen which I had to clear - oh such fun! Helped Mrs.L to do some baking - don't worry, I washed my hands thoroughly first! Otherwise, nothing exciting. Mrs. L is off to her Tai Chi class and I'm cooking home made burgers with potato wedges and coleslaw for dinner.

spent hour and half at docs this a/'noon,,sorted some pills out,got some new ones,had some checks,,now waiting for a visit to the scanner,,
day has been drizzle all day

@hollydolly I that horse. Look at his feet!

I volunteered to make tonight's supper. Easy. Spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs are cooking in the sauce as we speak. By suppertime, it should be...quite tasty

Working tomorrow and Wednesday. Off Thursday when the temp is now projected to be 83 instead of a mere 81. Um...with a 40% chance of rain. What? Oh, well, that means a 60% chance that it won't, right?

The power is back on. Thank you, electric workers.

But the outage, plus not getting enough sleep, has messed up my schedule. I guess this afternoon I'll prioritize clearing the sNOw, so I can drive to book club tomorrow.

Not sure about exercise. I should at least do some stretches.

Oh I'm surrounded by horses, I very often post pictures of them on the Photography thread on this forum...

Unfortunately for my cousin there are some problems. First, he doesn't speak English, second he doesn't use the internet, third he watches TV the whole day from morning to bedtime. What does he watch? Horse race!

 

[fatboy]

Making vegetarian meatballs with Beyond Beef today. Trying to figure out how to also make some that are both vegan and GF, but it appears that would be a very tall order indeed.

Sure. Keto friendly while you're at it. What the heck is all the fuss about gluten free and keto friendly? We all need gluten unless we have celiac disease. Geez. When it's the newest thing, let's all climb on the bandwagon

Yup. That's why I said look at his feet. His feet are cute horse feet.
