What are you doing today 2023

This morning I had a minor outpatient surgery which they did with local rather than general anesthesia so I could drive myself home. An anesthesiologist was standing by just in case, but it went well. I appreciate them working with me on this. Stitches come out in ten days!
 

Today I was thinking a lot about my grandfather (my Mom's Dad). A cousin of mine sent me the paperwork from 1965 when he went missing. He was 85yrs old. I remember it like it was yesterday. All the search parties we went on and everything about those days. I remember one night at about midnight we got a call saying someone thought they saw him. We all ran out and jumped in the cars, When I looked in the car I was in there were 4 boys and me, at first I got scared because I didn't know any of them. But when I noticed they all had blue eyes I knew they were my cousins. Most of my boy cousins had blue eyes, Of course, I was the only girl in the family with blue eyes. He was missing almost a month when a little boy tripped over his body,
 

Just stopping by for a very few minutes.
Hello to all of you.
DH is healing from surgery. Though it's a very uncertain path ahead of us, we're glad for that.
I am very exhausted from our past few weeks ordeals.
My own disabilities have been more difficult, during this time. Mostly trying to cope with each challenge, every day, for now.

My warm wishes, to each of you.

Welcome to my nightmare! I dearly sympathise @hollydolly . Haven't been able to sleep properly since 2016. This morning, clock was on for 8am but 6:30 hello wide awake...

Just turned it off, now need to get going. I'll see you all later. Seems to sound wet out there, might have to switch from yoga pants to jeans, bummer, I wanted comfortable clothes today lol!

In emergencies, try these, they're both good for short term

Good morning, Invisipeeps. I didn't sleep well, either, and am putting it down to tomorrow's full moon. I was awake at midnight, dozed off, woke up again just before 4, decided I might as well get up.

If Sir loves me, I won't be greeted by a mess like there was yesterday. If Sir loves me, he'll already be there when I get there. As if! :ROFLMAO:

Time to get myself outta park and into first gear. BBL
 
My son wants to take me to The Aquarium today. After that.............? I honestly do not know. My son is most probably going, As for me, I don't know. As for The Aquarium, for some reason my son is pushing LIFE and LOVE in my direction. He just won't stop being good to me. Woke up drained, no energy yet. But, it is rather early, hey?
 
I woke early as usual in 'summer'. A few times, I've woken at around 3 a.m. I'ts fairly light by then and I heard the birds singing and our neighbour's cockerel crowing. At least I've been able to get back to sleep until 6 ish.
This morning it was raining, so no outdoor work. I've got a small leak in the roof flashing, so I've got a pack of 'metal putty' to fix it. If I can't reach it, my neighbour who is a builder, said he would sort it for me. He's a great guy to have around.

It's another hot one, today!!


So far, I've had a productive morning. I spray treated my burger maker,

Ok, have to ask.....what is a burger maker and why do you spray a burger maker.
 
I hate the not sleeping.. because it ruins the following day. I've felt like I'm drunk with a really muzzy head the whole day now..it's 2.15pm... I look a wreck, no hair brushed.. and just some unmatching top and bottoms on.... My Neighbour knocked the door about half hour ago to ask me for something.. and I'm sure looking at me he probably thought I was on the booze... I did tell him I haven't been sleeping....I think he thought I must be hitting the bottle.. :LOL:

I can so relate to this @hollydolly. I have days like this, too.
 
Transferred Lady was there this morning, puffy jaw and all. She's a treasure!

Sir was there this morning. Schedule said 5-1; he came in at 9.

Sigh.

At least I was able to finish my work today, that's something.

Very hot here but after yesterday's thunderstorm, there's no need to water the flowers.

I've got $70 credit at Kohl's for whatever...some kind of rewards program...and have to spend it by Tuesday. I don't wanna go out. It's too hot. Saw some plain tops with 3/4 length sleeves (to hide my old arms) on sale for $10. That's a price that's right up my alley.
 
Yesterday we had toddler grandson but after my minor medical procedure on Weds I'm not supposed to be lifting a lot. Well, I did lift him some - couldn't help it - but tried to keep it to a minimum. Fortunately he was in very good spirits and took a two hour nap.

No repercussions from the lifting, thank goodness.

Knew it was going to be hot and worried that GS might be needy so asked DD if she and her family would come in the afternoon to lend a hand. Our pool is a warm but refreshing 86°. Theirs is in the shade most of the day and a chilly 71°, so they happily came over, swam, and took the baby in the pool.

DS and DDIL came after work and we took them out to dinner. DD & family had evening plans so it was just DH, me, DS, DDIL and DGS. We had a nice visit.

It was an unexpectedly delightful day. Love spending time with our kids and grands!

Thinking of you, @Kaila Is your husband still in the hospital?

He's back home, thank you. He had to be taken back in, during the same evening of the day that he'd come home in the morning, which was nerve-wracking and very exhausting, but he's home now.
Today, I sorted out and discarded some of the papers with notes and lists, that I have been scribbling things for me to remember.
 
Gosh, I am looking at some of the recent posts, here, and I, myself, will also join the large group of
The sleep-deprived members of SF.
Sounds like the name of some old TV series.:rolleyes:
Or a long-running daytime soap.:sneaky:

I have that problem too, ongoing and long before my recent extra challenging stressors...and i agree it's quite miserable to deal with, and as was said by @hollydolly and others;
one of the worst parts is while you are dealing with the difficult night hours, you know it will make the next daytime hours worse as well.:confused:

Perhaps @Lee might tell us if she's found a new cure, by replacing her curtains (or just the valance, i dont know) but then again, it might only work if you're replacing ones with aliens. :giggle:
