What are you doing today 2023

Went and fed the feral cats when it stopped raining. Stopped by the Goodwill. When I got home and was walking to my apartment, 3 jerks from that apartment last night were walking out. Oh gee, guess they just woke up. (1pm) Unlike their upstairs neighbor who goes to work early. This sloppy looking female had some blanket wrapped around her and they went to the car.

One male says "what's that?" Oh yay, a letter on their door. Bet it's from management. I did call, left a message and I have a feeling I wasn't the only one. Hope they get evicted. People don't need that. I don't wish ill on people usually but no one wants to pay rent and listen and be exposed to that.

You haven't received any mail since Early November ..? WoW... I've had snail mail every day aside from the specific Postal strike dates..

Chinese take-aways are closed on Mondays here too...

Yes, all mail I was expecting, I heard is stuck in the backlog in England somewhere. Only the local stuff's moving and very slowly. Got a letter dated 16 December which just arrived today. When they went on strike everything apparently stopped in its tracks. The catching up is nearly up to a month or more now for international mail!

Found a Chinese restaurant opened that delivered. Ordered usual and saved £20 over regular other restaurant. Thankfully, it was delicious and more importantly the fried rice was perfect. Leftovers for tomorrow so bonus. We now have a new place. LOL!
 
Today the building was having a food drive, which was very convenient for getting rid of extra cans left over from the holidays (pumpkin, evaporated milk, etc).

Then I took my car in for an oil change and to get the required state inspection so that I can register it in Maryland. I'd read a bunch of reviews and chose the car service place with the fewest bad reviews. I was happy with them while I was there, they told me my car was done and had passed the state inspection, but I didn't notice until after I got home that the rear brake pads are only 3mm and so it is presumably time to get new ones. My old car place would have pointed that out to me. The brakes haven't started squealing yet, so I will postpone it to the next credit card billing cycle (i.e., a couple weeks).

I got a message from the new doctor I saw last week that my LDL was high and I should eat a low cholesterol diet and we'll check it again when I come back in 6 months. I plan to just ignore the idea of diet changes because a) he sprung the blood test on me unexpectedly so I had not fasted and b) my diet over the holidays was quite unhealthy, so maybe that had an effect on the test results which should hopefully wear off now that I'm back to eating normally.
 
Been sleeping most of the day. Up now and just vegging out. My doctor called today and left a message telling me to get another urine test. They called me Friday too and I told them the UTI went away on its own. And I have read that happens sometimes.

What a PITA to get another urine test. I feel fine and all symptoms are gone. I'll get another one. I have to @itch about something! 😂

everyone! It turns out that I cracked my tooth. 😲 The good news is that the dentist says I won't need a crown, he can fix it with a filling. The bad news is that his schedule is full for the next 5 weeks!!!! I'm hoping that the tooth doesn't get any worse before my appointment!

After dinner I finally finished cutting and dragging branches away, from that first #%%%#%&$% privit bush!! While I was doing that, Dio started (and completely finished) cutting down the second crepe myrtle bush. So we have 3 down (literally) and one to go! I'll be glad when I can ✔ this project off of the to-do list!!

It's almost bed time, so good night to all!

Be careful brushing and flossing around that tooth. I had a crack and did not know, I popped the hole corner off, then came the new crown.
 
Today was a productive day for me and my son, who managed to go to work, do our monthly Costco shopping, drop off the groceries and make it to his eye appointment in another town by 2:45. As soon as he brought in the packages, I started putting things away. I had already made room in the freezer for our Healthy Choice organic fudge bars box, 18 count size. Putting items from Costco (or any bulk purchases) always involves rotating stock. But before that I'd gone down to the laundry room about 1 a.m. It was nice and clean and nobody else was down there. I went down a little earlier than planned because of the snow forecast. Turns out it started earlier than forecast and was coming down very lightly as I brought the clothes up. I'm just glad it hadn't gotten slippery. After I got in, I loaded the dishwasher, had a snack and wound up going back to sleep. When I woke up around 10 a.m., I started drying my clothes and managed to put most of them away. Of course I got in some T.V. and WWF2 time.

Hammering down of rain this morning... very gloomy. Had a terrible night because of the back pain.. not exaggerating to say it was agony to turn in my sleep, and trying to get dressed this morning brought tears to my eyes. Not sure if I've trapped a nerve or not on the left side, because I have sciatic pain shooting down my left leg.. something I don't usually have with my normal spasmodic lower disc lumbar pain.. but whatever it is .. this is awfully painful. :(

I took some Methocarbamol 750 anti spasm tablets before bed last night, but nothing has made any difference..
 
Good Morning everyone! I slept later than usual today and of course, it is a day I had a lot to do....early. Apartment inspections taking place from 8:30-2:00 today. So I figure mine will be in the middle somewhere since I am on the 2nd floor. They said it can take from 5-15 minutes. Had to clean out my closet in the bathroom, which is where I hang all my clothing, store Rabbit's big box of hay and other things. Where to put it? I cannot physically carry it in my arms to my bed and chairs so I put it all my mobile chair which is right next to the shower. I am hoping they do not need access to my shower.

The water heater is in the back of that closet and they have to take a board off to get to it. I did not take the things off the shelf in the closet because I seem to have hurt my shoulder and cannot reach up for any reason presently. So that's my day. Hope you all have one better.

Inspections ?... sorry Kat, it sounds like a dormitory inspection at school ? Even when we lived in Naval Married Quarters the only inspections which were held were when we were leaving, and then an inspection and inventory would be carried out to ensure we left it clean and with all household items intact..

Why do they do this ?

@katlupe I love reading about your rabbit. I had a pet rabbit as a child although it had a hutch and run in the garden. It did come into the house during the days but had to be watched because it always tried to chew wires and, less of a concern, loved to jump inside the kitchen bin and have a search around for bits of food it wouldn't normally be given.

I hope the inspection went well and your shoulder is feeling better too. :)

Not sure what today holds for us.

We had talked about buying a new couch.
Hubby should get one of the chairs that tip , make it easier to get out of.

Which could mean getting one couch gone,moving the couch that's by the windows into that space.
Placing the easy lift chair where couch was by the windows.
