(((Holly))). I don't know why these intense feelings happen from time to time when each day is so much like the last. I try to go with the flow until it passes. I left the apartment for over an hour & that helped.

oh I'm pleased you feel a little better for getting out of the house for a little while. I hate when these things happen to you.. it's so unfair 🤗

Not looking forward to later today. Having a procedure done at hospital at 1 pm. My daughter, the RN, is here to help me through it. My risk of bleeding excessively is high because of blood thinners I take. I did stop taking them 3 days ago so time will tell. Wish me luck guys..:censored:

My best of luck and prayers are with you, Pappy.
So happy your daughter is there with you, helping you get through this.
Please post when you are all through this, when you’re able to update.
Take care…..try to relax. 🌻🌻🌻.

Today is the only day without rain in the forecast, so this will be our weekly trip into town. We need to return a DVD to the library, pay our taxes, and stop at the pharmacy. Can you believe it....I don't need anything from the grocery store!!!! They're going to miss me! 😉

It's going to be sunny and around 70°F/21°C....it will be a beautiful day to walk around at the park.

I have not read any posts, yet...but maybe later???

To everyone...

Good luck. I hope it’s nothing serious.

Busy weekend. After much discussion during the last 2 weeks, we decided to remove the bright, loud flames from the car, and go with a more subtle pin striped flames and a lot more old school pin striping. It worked as we hit two car shows this weekend. (a first for us as we never do shows). Worked out though... we won best of show at one, (80 cars) and best old school at the other. (200 cars) Mama is happy. :)

I am not a big fan of flames, but these smaller, thinner lines look better than the wide long flames. I was reading in a magazine not too long ago that there are fewer and fewer 55’s and 57’s each year. It seems like some are being sent overseas

For me, these flames are too big. What do you think?

I am installing 3 outside cameras for my neighbor. She said she kept looking at mine and decided to go with it. She asked if they’re difficult to install and I told her not all because they are wireless. That led to the usual question, would I put them up for her. Of course, I said sure. They only take a few minutes to put up. The time part comes when downloading the software into the devices.

There's a cold windy front rolling in tonight and I've got a dental appointment Wed. so I'm headed to the gun range to do some shooting this morning as soon as it gets light out......it's a comfortable, clear, 59° with hardly any right breeze now.

Plan on putting about 150 rounds of 9mm through this this morning.

How often do you clean this handgun?

Thinking of you @Pappy. I'm thinking you'll be fine. If you lose a little blood, don't worry, they'll replace it. 💕 Hugs to you!

Yeah... a little too gaudy for me. However, that being said, I always say "do what makes you happy" and skip the naysayers. :)

As for the cars heading overseas, never fear, If you've got the money, you can have a brand new tri-five chevy.

Messing with my sprinkler system trying to get two of the zones to work. One zone has a broken pipe and the other has a broken control wire. Sometimes I think these systems are not worth the trouble, then along comes a 100F day and I find myself dragging a garden hose around.

Washing sheets and making beds. Playing with the dogs, one of whom loves hot sheets coming out of the dryer.

Walking early this morning where I spotted several species of birds that I have not seen for some time.

Glad you like it. Don't have to worry about me sticking with it KB...as I wrote, I am hooked. I really hope it gets a 2nd season, at least. From what I read about the viewership, which is down by almost a million from the first episode to the last, so a 2nd season is not guaranteed. No decision has been made yet. I'll be waiting with baited breath!

Congratulations! Great looking car...no wonder you won.
 
Monday is my "day off," the one day I don't have any appointments or obligations. Usually it's just one thing -- 20 minutes with my language partner via Telegram -- but that makes a big difference.

Although I should feel relaxed today, I don't. There is still exercise, and housework, and toothbrushing. It's a beautiful sunny day (although cold), so I feel I "should" enjoy it somehow, even though I know that going out won't be worth it

Phooey. I'm getting tired of this. I try hard to make my life better, and I'm grateful for good things and people. But it just never seems worth it somehow.

That’s a really nice looking car and incredibly clean. It’s beautiful.

Feeling down today?

Actually, I feel like this most of the time. I just don't say so.

I hate being alone, but that isn't an allowable sentiment. If I were sad about not being able to have children, no one would dream of saying, "What the heck do you want to have children for? You can be happy without children." But that's the response you can expect if you want adult companionship of a certain kind.
 
@Pappy Please let us hear from you as soon as you're up to it or maybe instruct your DD to post so that we'll know you're okay?

Et tu @Pepper? Let's put it down to the full moon. I've been so far down in the past few days that I have to reach up to tie my shoes. And add to that last night was one of those "lacy" nights (full of holes). When I went out with my coffee at 4:30, there was a big, bright full moon. Yup. Trouble sleeping when there's a full moon isn't an old wives' tale; it's real!

Today is bright and sunny and really warm. It's 79 and we're promised that it will be 79 again tomorrow. Yippee. Then the cool down and the rain will be back, but for now, the weather is definitely...outdoors :ROFLMAO:

DGD had a follow-up appointment with her PCP. She's on the mend at last.

No-longer-New-Lady started calling Sir at 7 am! Then turned up asking when she'll be scheduled again because she's "been calling and calling Sir but getting no answer." Um...never? Sir told her that he's had to cut hours and has no idea if or when he'll be able to add any. She remarked that Retired Lady is leaving at the end of the month, to which he replied that it won't help any because No-longer-New-Lady can't do Retired Lady's job. N-L-N-L said she was going to search out one of the assistant store managers and "have him allow more hours." Assistant store manager can't do that, not up to him.

Sir suggested checking out other stores in our area because three of the four within 10 miles are looking for help, all of them in the bakery. The hours she's allowed to work without her disability being penalized are limited. Whereupon were also treated to the fact that she got a big increase in her SSDI...to $350/month.

Then she proceeded to tell Sir that she "made" $2K over the weekend with a catering job but didn't say whether that was gross or net. He didn't ask. She has a bigger one coming up in a couple of weeks and would he be interested in working for her?

Pray tell, in what universe is it appropriate for a part-time hourly employee to approach a superior and invite them to become their employee? He said no, of course, and asked why she'd even ask! That didn't stop her, though. When she paused for breath, he commented that if she can't work weekends because of her catering business, why would she think anyone else could work weekends at one job and work for her weekends, too?

At that point I decided it was break time. After my 15 minutes were up, she was gone.

Oh...her surgery obviously wasn't the hip replacement. She was walking just fine🚶‍♀️ and it was very apparent that it wasn't liposuction, either.

So. The rest of the flowers are planted, new 100' hose hooked up. Mess cleaned up.
