I've been very busy today....

This afternoon, I did just one thing. I cut all of the smaller branches off of on of the crepe myrtle bushes then Dio took the chainsaw to it, and cut down the rest of it. That trunk was about a foot and a half in diameter. Anyway, I'm exhausted....I've gotten so weak since I broke my wrist. 😢
I may have been dehydrated too, so I've had a cuppa. Now it's time to relax and watch tv.

I have not read any posts, but maybe I'll do that before I go to bed.

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.

I’m right there with you, @Blessed, on having fasting bloodwork in the AM. blah

I do not have dogs I have to take outside but you’d be surprised how fast this 65 yr old can move when she hears the cat making “up-chuck” sounds on the end of her bed!! (Crisis averted, cat shooed outside in time)

Kind of the same noise if I don't wake, little girl dog will give up and take a pee, then she kind of scratches her feet on the carpet, like a cat in the littler box. Still have to get up dry it up the best I can. Then drag out the little green machine in the morning. LOL

Whoa!!! That's waaaay too much work for me, GF. I keep monthly track of my overall balances and get statements at the end of the year. DH & I support numerous charities throughout the year - mostly through monthly donations.

I suspect your percentage of support is far greater than ours. ❤️

As I've posted in a couple of threads in the Financial section, I enjoy keeping track of my finances Star. It's a form of relaxation for me. It's nice to see my progress. But even if I didn't like to do it, I'd absolutely have to so as to have the correct figures for Zakat purposes. A big help is the self tallying Vertex Family Budget Planner, another spreadsheet I maintain with my actual daily spending that generates monthly and annual totals. I also maintain a self generated spreadsheet with my projected spending for at least three months in advance. I've been closely monitoring my finances since I was 25 (when I was 'Poor Girl") and not only is it a hobby, it's a habit). Ya see...this is my thing. 🤑

You said: "I suspect your percentage of support is far greater than ours. ❤️ " Perhaps it is. I donate quite a bit to charity between Zakat and St. Jude. We're talking thousands, not hundreds. Zakat is 2.5% of total Zakatable assets (glad it's not a 10% tithe like the Baptists!). Plus I donate between 4.5% and 5% of my traditional IRA, which is relatively small compared to my Roths, to St. Jude via my RMDs.

Amazing, isn't it?!!! I can be at the other end of the house when I hear Andy and his hairball!!! You can hear the sonic boom as I run for the kitchen and shoo him out the door. Usually, he finishes the deed on the porch....and I have to clean it anyway!

What is your cat's name?
 
Right now, I am supposed to be sleeping. I was. So I looked for a paper with my son's new landlord's name and address on it. I could not find it and need it this morning. I found it but wonder why I could not find it last night?

After I finish my gingerale I will go back to bed. I ate too late last night and I think that was the problem. Never again! I normally never eat after six.

Sylvester. @Trila porch is better than carpet!
 
Woke up early today, Tuesday, my fault as I forgot to purge last tea drunk before bed LOL!

Read the news on Metro newspaper. Wow, thankfully no more postal strikes, but secondary schools will get forced fortnight at end of January due to teachers strikes but just in Scotland apparently.

We're told to, Pandemic-style, cover-up our faces again if we must go out and/or feeling ill to ease the burden on the NHS. I knew this wasn't going to disappear quickly!

Hawkeye actor, Jeremy Renner, got injured while plowing snow at his home. In critical but stable condition, so that's a plus.

Anyway, what bugs me are friends nowadays. I grew up with habits of contacting them, by phone letters and all. Papa insisted, as well as teachers, to write meaningful messages.

Therefore, I'm flabbergasted when I receive a two lines reply with bare minimum. Either they're hiding something, suffering from jealousy or can't be bothered. Regardless, it's strange to have concerns for someone who can't convey more.

Last holiday for Scotland today, so hopefully, things will fall back into the routine. But leaving yous with a smile on your face...

How many people will write 4 January 2022 on tomorrow 4 January 2023?
🤣🤣🤣

PS we've all done it, one-time or another in every new year's there's been. I've seen it more often in my old working days. What a hoot! Later y'all and have a great Tuesday...
 
The elevator engineer is coming here today to check out this elevator. Our district manager from the company that owns our building is supposed to be here as well as our maintenance man. So we will see what happens after that.

Today is usually my errand day. I always have to pay my son's bills and get him things he needs (he is disabled and lives down the street) as well as some of my own errands. My bf (boyfriend) is doing it all for me and poor guy, he will come up the stairs to bring everything to me.

My day will revolve around these two events.
 
On my early walk at 6:30a strolled half way down my street,temp was 40(unseasonably warm for this time of year}
This morning Mary&I are going on our 1st 'road trip' of the new year, to local grocery store, Tops I haven't been there in a couple of weeks due to 'snow event' we had xmas weekend
The rest of my day,another walk,read NYT,my book. Tomorrow after a week without TV/cable, Spectrum tech bringing my new cablebx in morning between 8-9am
