Another weekend that is shaping up nicely! This afternoon a bar/grill is closing so a friend has invited me to the private affair! Will be a few drinks, lots of buffet food, burgers, laughing with others and gentle hugs!
What could be better?

What could be better? That the bar/grill was just throwing a party, not closing.

@StarSong, you nailed it! This has been my favorite restaurant/bar/grill of this location through the changing of hands for over 20 years now. It breaks my heart to see them closing. The owners are a young couple with three kids in school, she's a teacher herself. They've had it three years, but with Covid, the economy, busted water pipes, etc, too many repairs, and winter here....it broke them.

Perhaps if a new buyer comes along this year, I'll have another chance to order my favorite appetizer/meal.....mussels in garlic and butter with toasted bruschetta bread on the side. It's a private recipe that gets handed down owner to owner.

Such a bummer when places like this can't make it. The timing probably couldn't have been worse for the owners.

Leann, thanks for asking.. I am so sore , I can't tell you.. My back is really painful, and not my usual lumber pobs... the fall has hurt my back all the way down the right of my spine, actually swollen, so even when I rest against the back of the seat or sofa.. it feels like I've got a hard cushion behind me..

This isn't good...it must be so painful. Are you going to see a doctor soon or wait a while and see how you feel in a few days?

I'll just wait as I always do.. by the time I manage to get an appointment to see a doctor it'll be a month anyway. If it gets worse.. obviously I'll take action, but for now I just whine...:sneaky:

It's coming up to 4pm, and the sun is getting low in the sky. been a dry day but cold... Kept the heating off until a short time ago..

Fell against my solid wooden kitchen door when I tripped and fell off the little plastic folding step stool..... hurt my back a lot , but what's worse is the force took the door off the frame at the bottom, and off the hinge.. so now I have a door that's not fully connected to the frame, just hanging by splintered wood and the screws not affixed to anything.:(

It means I'm going to have to pay to have a new door and have it fitted.. not something I've ever had to do in the past because the O/H always hung the doors here..

taken some painkillers, and applied a heat-pad to ease the pain, and now I'm about to go and have a hot shower..

On a brighter side, the new bathroom chrome light pull I ordered arrived, along with a new cordless mouse.. :)

Oh no! You of all people do not need another fall. So sorry, Holly. Heal quickly. 🌹
 
Like @Ruthanne and @RadishRose both mentioned the subject in above posts,
I hope to manage to get the first of the 2 shingles vax shots, in February. These are now safer (non-live) and more effective, and also far cheaper, than the shingles vaccine version of years ago.
Today, I hope for a bath, and have enjoyed being at SF, and am trying to lower my stress level, today.
Enjoying the snow and wild bird scene out my window, as well as a couple of humans walking by, once in a while, too. Some have small dog companions out for a walk with them, after the stormy past days.

I have a little folding step stool...its metal with rubber treads on the step. Very solid and safe. Walmart.
No plastics for you.

never seen a metal one here .. I would have bought that in preference to plastic in the first place, that would have been ideal ... . There's even a shop in town which sells every variety of folding step stool , and every one there is plastic..

Thanks for tipping me off re: little plastic folding step stool
I've been thinking of getting one for ages, but they seem flimsy to me.
Hope you feel better soon!

Been a little slow the last few days. Thought I was getting a cold, but still went out and plowed, and worked in the shop. Took a home covid test this morning, and it shows positive, so I guess I finally contracted it. Wife just did hers and she is negative, but says she is feeling sick so will test again tomorrow. She has already had it twice. If this is as bad as it gets for me, I'll be fine.

I hope your case is mild and your wife is spared this time! Sleep a lot, it's the best thing.

As you can see.. the big screws and Rawlplugs holding the door onto the door jamb, have not only come right out of the door and splintered it.. the force of my crash , also pulled the hinges half out of the door jamb as well..

Thank you, Holly. It's a pile-up of difficulties, at what is already difficult time of the year for me. An upset from an important person :cry: , adding extra stress, as has this difficult laptop situation. I will be able to get another laptop, though not quickly, but I have no idea what or when, that person's next hurtful action will be.

Thank you very much for asking.
It has helped me, last night and today, to soldier through the challenging steps required for me to post at SF with this non-functional backup. I made the decision I need to work at doing this for now, and even to share more and interact more, here at SF, to counter my present levels of sadness and anxiety.
Thanks again, to all of you......

Kaila, I've never seen you so down. Don't let anyone hurt you! Of course I don't know the situation, but I am concerned. 🌹
