What are you doing today 2023

[katlupe]

That’s one of the things about apartment living I forgot about.




I wondered about reporting one. It had been there for 30 minutes so I figured someone had reported him already. Does it overload @Matrix if we’re all reporting the same things.

That was what I was afraid of doing, but I was here earlier and there was one. Came back and saw he had been busy adding more. Energetic little scammer!

I just found out about Aberfan a few years ago by watching "The Crown." The show did a good job of re-inacting the whole incident. Too good. Very upsetting.

My husband never watches the news either, I have to tell him about the big things, like 9-11. I even had to tell him when the Gulf War started. At the time he was as a senior NCO in the military. Thought he might want to know.

Today is Monday so I'm dusting and vacuuming. It occurred to me that I've been dusting weekly for 70 years. When do I get my gold watch?

here ya are Della..never say you don't get anything from me..

Well, I didn't arsk.. did anyone else here arsk?

@TeeJay If you don't care that you'll smell funny, finish the movie. If you do care, take the shower and then finish the movie.

So the new sheets have been washed and dried and the bed made up.

And about cleaning out the junk cabinet. Um. Yanno all those pens and highlighters that are dried out and still in the pencil cup? Admit it! Y'all have some, too. Mine aren't there anymore. I bit the bullet and pitched 'em.

There's still a lot to purge, but DD and I went to our favorite fun store that closed yesterday an hour before their posted closing time for New Years Day. I had to go because DD asked me to. She wasn't going to buy anything, but I was convinced there would be something with my name on it. DD spent almost $50; I didn't buy anything. Nothing. There wasn't anything that spoke to me.

Why is it that when there are few bucks to spend, there's nothing to spend it on, but when you're dead broke and pinching pennies, everything you spy wants to follow you home?

 

[Sliverfox]

Normal daily routine,,Watched Rose Bowl parade,,have load of laundry in the washer.

Hope to clean my desk,, carry more Christmas decorations upstairs.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Fooey. I forgot all about the Rose Bowl parade

 

[JaniceM]

I thought the Rose parade was on on New Year's Day.. it isn't??

 

[RadishRose]

Well, I didn't arsk.. did anyone else here arsk?

Not me. I can't even understand what he says.

 

[Sliverfox]

Rose Bowl parade didn't appear to have a lot of floats.
I think you can see the floats online or reruns of the parade.

 

[RadishRose]

Awaiting a grocery delivery. Free delivery today only. I haven't in quite some time.

Since I never made soup as I'd planned to on NYE (day) due to grands being here ...which was much better....I think I'll make it when my delivery is here.

Walked Doggie in a 45F cloudy, damp day. But i always like being in the wooded paths.

 

[Della]

here ya are Della..never say you don't get anything from me..

Yay! That's all I wanted! I didn't expect anything to stay dusted just a little recognition for a life time of faithful work. My husband has a chest full of medals for his work.

I'd like to thank HollyDolly, the Academy of Dusters, the Great Seal of Good Housekeeping and a special nod of gratitude to all the humble toilet cleaners out there!

 

[JaniceM]

Not me. I can't even understand what he says.

Oddly enough, I usually do (understand, I mean).

 

[Mizmo]

Wow ... about this..
I use Chanel#5 body lotion which sells for around $60 U.S and $74 Can.
Got the bottle tipped upside down to get the last dregs so have been shopping Internet as local pharmacies out of stock.
I get to Walmart and they are selling at $171.45.free shipping
Daylight robbery!

Grrrrrrrrr. I am just about to have my afternoon coffee and I need one of @Georgiagranny 's blueberry scones to sweeten me up.

 

[Supernatural]

We took our showers after putting away the decorations due to kitty having a fascination with the artificial snow on tree. Thank goodness he didnae get sick, phew. Finally went to bed around 5am.

Grrrrr! Got woken up at 5:45am by guy knocking on wrong door. Both me and daughter plus kitty took another fifteen minutes to get back asleep.

It's been a very quiet day overall. Currently catching up on Rose Bowl Parade 2023 on YouTube. In half hour, making prawns tagliatelle with cheese sauce for dinner.

According to Tarotscope reader things will get better and improve from around 3-4 January. LOL, nothing new there as my own cards had predicted that. Sorry, it's been in my family for generations!

Were very happy to see so much sunshine today, really lifted our moods. Cheers!

..bit of an eventful day today.. drove over to the hospital, pulled onto the motorway at the slip road.. and as I did I was struck by the fact there was only a few cars on there.. almost completely empty.. and I looked in my rear view mirror and between the slip road I came on and the one about 5 miles behind there was a HUGE plume of smoke, so obviously the traffic had been stopped back there before the fire.. I still haven't been able to find out what it was..

At the hospital the ex is in a ward , where all the rooms are private rooms within the ward.. very plush tbh.. all en-suite .. nicest ones I've ever seen.. and each room has a nursing station right outside.. 19 room.. 19 nursing stations..

In the room next to Ex .. is a guy about maybe 60-65.. I could see him because most people's doors were open to their rooms.. and the nurse in charge of the ward stopped me to ask some questions about Ex right outside of this mans' door.. and he was Screaming at the nursing staff. Get my F**** tea NOW!!!...over and over.. they were just replying ..yes ok Bob we're getting it for you.. I was like .. Ex husband said he'd been abusive all night to the nursing staff. and they are going to move him up into the main wards tomorrow. I have no idea if that means he'll be put in to a usual 6 bed ward.. and perhaps they feel he'll be dealt with more harshly by his peers with whom he'll have to share .. but Jeez.. what a nightmare. If I was a nurse getting that abuse I'd spit in his tea.. probably a good thing I'm not!..

 

[horseless carriage]

Par for the course Holly, my sister spent over 30 years in nursing, she had similar tales to tell. My retired paramedic wife has had her share too. Even my niece, my brother's daughter, who is a doctor, has experienced abusive behaviour.

you know HC..my mother was a Nurse, and she never experienced that.. random abuse like we read of in the media sometimes today . This was back in the 60's.....

I've read as well have here of abuse of medical staff but usually in that context it's about drunks and drugged.. in A&E.. not you would imagine as in in patient.. middle aged man.. .. what is even worse to me was that he was surrounded by the room where the patients were all in their own pain.. like my ex husband right next door to him.. who were getting no rest because of this foul mouthed abuser..

 

[Georgiagranny]

@hollydolly Is ex at least feeling better now that he's getting some medical attention?

 

[hollydolly]

@hollydolly Is ex at least feeling better now that he's getting some medical attention?

no, in fact if anything he's worse. There's been no doctors in the wards since he was admitted, because it's a Holiday, so for now the nurses are just treating him with oxygen and a nebuliser for a lung infection .. . (sp)... he's fighting for every breath. Doctors will be in tomorrow... he'll know more then

 

[Ruthanne]

Slept much of the day. Did some dishes. Had a turkey breast sandwich. Watching the news now. Maybe watch a movie soon.

I drug myself out of bed at 1PM, six hours might seem good but I was up twice, dogs to the potty outside, then me later on the inside LOL, Trying to wear myself out so I can get to sleep early, have a doctor appt at 8AM for a check up. Got to do that no food or drink but water after midnight for blood work.
