What are you doing today 2023

I know that most of you think that I am not only devastatingly handsome but also extremely fit for my age, like doing fifty one armed pushups when I first get up, just for the fun of it.

I hate to disabuse you of that notion, once and for all. I got up, tottering wildly, trying to find my balance. Waddled like a duck to do my daily ablutions and then tried to keep my head straight so I wouldn't get dizzy on my way to making a coffee and then to my computer. And here I sit, with my morning coffee ... aaahhh, all is well now! This will be a good day!

@hollydolly Here we were all concerned about hurricane Lee and what you experienced was ten times as bad! We had vicious storms like that in the Black Forest all the time and I still hate the thought of experiencing a "crasher" like yours!
 

I feel my emotional tank is just about empty (lots contributing to this... won't bother you with details) I am going to spend this afternoon just taking care of me... I'd like to get a facial but I doubt I can get an appt. that quick. As it's a beautiful Day, maybe take lunch and sit in the park with a good book? I don't know, I'll find something. =)

Ah well, Ed’s gallbladder issue fully resolved but he hurt his back now so we’re trying to strike the balance between keeping him safe and allowing him as much independence as possible Friends are on a rotating schedule to be with him at least part of the day (making sure wash is done, he has meals prepped, etc) and home health nursing and therapy are in several days a week. I’m over there pretty much everyday for part of the day…
 
Today I have been doing a few small things to help DH, plus I hand washed a couple of small items for myself.

I also read some of the recent posts with some of your updates.
I needed to nap and take rests, in between. I'm glad I got a little caught up on how people here are doing. :)
 
I try to live a simple, calm life. But lots of external pressures are robbing me of all that. Calls.... five calls a day..... angst.... anger.... madness.... I'm trying to keep a cap on it, but I feel pressured and unfairly treated. Yet I can't say it, because it makes others feel worse. So I take it on my shoulders.

I very much want to focus on the future, whatever we all have left. The years and winding down, and I want love, peace, and serenity. Seems like that's going to be tough to get to right now. Having your own dramas and angst is one thing, but when it's only yours by association...... bloody hell.

Today so far has been bad. Listening to music now.

@hollydolly My hair is very short, but I've grown accustomed to having blue hair. When my workmates start asking why my hair isn't blue anymore, I know it's time... Besides, @Old Salt Like it blue, too;)

Do you live very far from Savannah GA? Savannah is somewhere Stateside that I know very well. I must have been there fifty times or more. My schoolfriend, (female) married an American. The lady was my first ever crush, it lasted just a few months but developed into a lifelong friendship. She couldn't cross the pond for my wedding and nor could I for her's. But, without the pressure of time, we managed to contrive a visit to one another to introduce spouses.

Our, that's my lady and I, have a love of the US that comes from our trips to Savannah, and beyond. Both my schoolfriend and her husband have now crossed Rainbow Bridge, so it's not easy to reminisce, but give me time and I will tell you tales to make you smile.
 
Did the grocery thing today…..haven’t been to the grocery store since September 6….it was time…..out of milk and bananas and stock up on my favourite yogurt…..looked at the meat section…..nah…..no…..still have some chicken breasts in the freezer.

Got a Canada Post parcel today, which wasn’t to be here till Thursday.

3 walks in so far today…..all turned into some visiting with other tenants…..1 more walk to go.

Of course, my usual daily cleaning chores.

It is another BEAUTIFUL September day, +27c.
 
~Did some reorganizing during which I danced around a bit while playing one of my YouTube playlists on the T.V..
~Finished loading, then ran the dishwasher.
~Refilled 3 pill boxes (one stays in my purse).
~Had conversations with my friend Hunter (about what's necessary for our collaboration on my song) and my BFF.
~Napped and played Words With Friends

@horseless carriage I live at least 300 miles from Savannah. It's on the coast, and I live inland.

It's morning again, kids. That means 🥐🥐. It also means it's a day that TL said she's calling out. And that means...I'll be alone for probably most of the morning until Sir gets there, maybe before I leave, maybe not. I sure wish they'd quit messing around with the schedule and let him make it like he used to. I'm probably going to have to start working until noon again because TL is no more dependable than the weather:(

Anyway, it's going to be another stellar day with plenty of sunshine and cool temps. Yay.

Later. Y'all behave while I'm gone.
 
Been up since one am. Exhausted but I'll make it through the day. Got up for old lady reason: kept having to pee! That's never happened before. I joked with myself that my prostate hurts!

Must arrange with AccessARide for Wednesday. This is United Nations Week, so traffic is even more unbearable than usual. Sigh. The last two rides I took home at night? Those same nights or the next day there were shootings in areas I was forced to go through due to ride-sharing.
 
I'm being a good boy today, I've limited myself to just one half gallon mug of tea with my breakfast, well, what goes in has to come out the other end and I spend far to much time peeing for Britain.......
Just opened my curtains and I see that a tree has come down into the road further down the road.
I think I'll stay in and watch the telly. 😊
