Yesterday…..filled with phone conversations…..one in the morning, from 8:45 to noon…..gal whom I went to school with, still lives in my home town, have remained friends all these years…..we haven’t talked since just before I moved…..had a great catch up. ☺️😊😀.
3 more phone conversations through the rest of the day.

Today……just normal cleaning chore stuff.
Was notified that an order was going to be delivered today…..my past orders, since moving here have been Fed Ex, they issue time frames.
But…..
Todays delivery was with Purolator, and they don’t give times……so I stuck around, to buzz them in…… which was perfectly fine…..
But…..
They must have been lucky, and came in with someone opening the door, because I didn’t get a ring.

Order set in front of my apartment door. 😊….is a 8 foot round area rug, and a smaller half moon rug, 2ft x 4ft.
 
I played the PC Game, "Civilization VI," for 8 hours today. I got to the point where I dropped several atom bombs on the artificial intelligence opponents. It was fun seeing the radiation engulf the target cities. I also got to launch a satellite and will find out tomorrow what I can do with it.
 

~I went food shopping this morning instead of going to the waterfront park. A couple of items I wanted were on sale, including LaYogurt for 25 cents each. I haven't seen yogurt that cheap in a very long time.

~Rotated stock to make room for my groceries.
~Later, I had to rearrange things under the bed and in linen closet to make room for 2 cases of baby wipes.

~Sat and talked with my son while I refilled two pill cases and he sorted beans.
~Did some "bookkeeping" and accounting for him and me.
 
I slept the sleep of the innocent😇 again. Because, yanno, I am.

No rain like promised last night, but it's on the way for sure. The radar looks nasty enough that we might even get a tornado🌪️ or two🌪️🌪️ or lose power. That would not make me happy.

@OneEyedDiva Thanks for the reminder. I need to refill the pill box. It's one of those little things that annoys me. Huh? Five minutes of my time. What's that all about!

Since it's gonna rain probably until noon, I don't have any excuse for ignoring the laundry or the housekeeping. Heck. I might even get so ambitious that I'll move the sofa and clean underneath. Key word there is "might."

Oh, dear. The storm's about to hit. Thunder! Lightning! Eeek.
 
Glorious day... very sunny, 81 deg.... I'm just about to get dressed, into shorts for a change... and get out and take my stuff to the Waste centre.. (Tip).... not sure what to do after that....got some banking to do which means driving 3 towns away.. so I may do that.. or I may go and get my hair cut.. we'll see what the day brings...
 
Looks like the rain we had when we got up has quit.
Presently 65* going into the 70s this afternoon.

I should get my rear in gear,, walk the dog , get the mail,,,,pull some weeds.

Yesterday I dumped several different types of canned beans in a pan with bits of ham.
In went left over sweet corn, bit of chopped zucchini,,onion,, left over bar- B -Q sauce.

Was surprised when we ate it ,, tasted good.:p

Okay, you just did, HD! Today looks crazy so far. I was up until 3:30 am with my visiting younger daughter. We always have a great time listening to my YouTube playlist! Had a 10:00 a.m. appointment with a blood clinic and was so uptight about losing even more sleep that the expected happened. I couldn't get to sleep until 7:30! So, on two hours of sleep, I will be going to a family reunion dinner (supper!!!) this evening.

We have two visitors, two of my nieces from Germany, whom I haven't seen since they were children and who would fit nicely into this forum now, plus my regular crew from N.S.

Personally, I think my older daughter is crazy because she actually enjoys having a packed house and cooking for ten people. She definitely doesn't have my genes! My grandson will come back to my place after supper, and we'll watch some movies. after that he'll stay overnight! We haven't seen each other since before Covid! And I'm afraid that I'll fall asleep on him. And, no, I've never been able to nap so I'll have to tough it out! I need your long distance support! :)

We interrupt our regular programming to announce another occasion to mark your calendars! I dusted. Yup. Dusted. Even the picture frames and the ceiling fan blades and the baseboards and windowsills.

We now return to our regular programming 😂

@Old Salt I'm thinking nap for you. Do you feel the telepathy?😴

Not yet, GG, and Kudos for your dusting spree! Well done, the place needed it badly! :D Keep telepathing!
 
Yesterday when washing dishes (DW broken), a Pryex bowl somehow slid off the top and crashed to smithereens on the tile floor! It's my favorite mixing bowl, or was.

Got that cleaned up, vacuumed thoroughly and then dusted and vacuumed the living room.

Laundry on tap and a visit downtown to MetroPC Mobile to try to get my PIN for my broken phone. I got my new phone delivered yesterday but I can't get it set up until I can get my PIN for my old phone.

I got a CAT-S22-flip phone from MintMobile. $79.00 with 1st 3 months prepaid @ 15.00 per month. My grandson helped me find it. It's exactly what I want, less high-tech; smaller, chunkier shape. I only use a phone for communication, talk/text. Maybe a photo or 2 and GPS function.

The YT reviews were very good, said the CAT is very sturdy and rugged.

Sounds like all the family have been cheering you up ... already...🙃

I have to say I do exactly the same thing..I stress about having to get up early, and because I do I get little sleep.. and then I'm exhausted all day...

You've got all the support I can muster from afar.... have a super day...
 
Morning folks.....Sun shining bright...I'm not quite that bright!!! First thing I did
was spill a bunch of instant coffee on the floor...cleaned up and had a cup so that is better...think my mind is wandering and worrying too much these days...I'm trying to get together the necessary papers for state I.D. card, let my
drivers license expire, so need a new form of Official i.d.,,,,,,,ah well....have a good day all....;)
 
I'm not long home now at almost 5pm... Went to the Waste site which is in another town.. and probably because it's so hot today people have scarpered to the beaches and parks.. so the Tip was very empty of people.. and I was able to throw off all the Big Plant pots, and get out of there in 5 minutes..

Drove down the motorway to North London, ( lots of roadworks held up the traffic for a while) to try and get my hair cut.. chancing my arm, but no-one could fit me in.. frustrating... I tried 3 different places, 2 different towns..

Bought a pair of Brown leather ankle strap sandals in the Sale ...I mean, it would be rude not to as I was passing anyway.. 🙃😇. Drove back towards home, and took the back country lanes to avoid the roadworks..

... and guess what.. just as I got to the next village up from here.. the roads were closed, and I had to take a detour right back to where I started.. a 20 mile detour... and it was hot in the car.. MY AC needs re-gassed...

Remembered there was another hair salon in another town so drove there, and despite no customers, and 3 stylists sitting down.. they said they couldn't fit me in for 2 hours hence.. so I gave up... and came home.. Stopped off at Aldi on the return , haven't been in there for a while.. and picked up a couple bottles of Orangeade, and some butter... and that was my day...

I’m feeling a little guilty. I’m using a yellow one outside for my plant. These and another set were my husband’s mothers. It should be used for cooking but I have my own and use some of her other set.
 
Usual 4 mile walk at 6:00am with 'the dog', 30 minute workout, Read the Wall Street Journal ( he delivers at 6:30), See what you guys 'across the pond' did to the markets for the day in the US, was going golfing, but decided to tackle cleaning the property, broke out the power washer, ladders, etc. lunch on the deck, then heading to the driving range to hit some balls. Then come back around 4:00 for the closing bell and assess my positions, maybe buy in the after market, maybe not.

It just happened
Squeezing out the last moments of a fine, long day
A western movie seemed good
wasn't
Should've just sat outside, feeling the cool of the evening

Slept well, however

Oh I can understand- sometimes I start watching a movie although I know I won't like it :LOL: Good that you slept well! Is there maybe also a movie you can recommend? :)
 
Been to church this AM for special prayer service, then our mystery book club at the library on the next town.

Walmart then home for lunch. It rained and the wind blew for about five seconds, just long enough to drive the humidity out the wazoo.

Next project today is to rip out the main color of a hat I was knitting and redo with the original dove-gray yarn. I tried doing the main part in black but it’s too much strain on my eyes 😖🤨🥸
