:giggle:Treated myself to a day of pleasure because the weather here is holding, no snow in the forecast. I drove an hour to the casino, played for four hours, then drove back home in the pouring rain! A good time, I'll take care of business tomorrow.

No bungee jumping just yet.
No, not this week. Ballet may have to wait too.

I did have a first this morning in the gym, I was able to do a full deep squat, first in a long time. Then I did 6 more before giving out, it felt good. Not that it was without pain, but the pain was tolerable.
don't like being overly inquisitive about your health
You are welcome to ask me anything, about my health or otherwise. I am fairly open and on an anonymous forum like this it's easy.
 
Well I just finished breakfast, a little later than usual...but
lately that has been the norm....I seem to want to sleep later and also DO NOT want to cook...anything....it's easier to eat
cookies and ice cream than to cook regular food....got my
foot still bothering me so that is on my mind also...dont
want a trip to dr already this year....enuff griping from me.....
 
My two older grandchildren (7 & 10) are coming early this afternoon and will spend the night. :love:

It's been a very busy week already. Monday I played business catch-up because I barely focused any attention on that from Thanksgiving forward. Yesterday we took care of our baby grandson. Today until tomorrow noon we have our other grands, plus tomorrow morning the baby comes again. Friday I've got other things on my plate that can't be put off.

Between watching the baby from 7:30 - 4:00 most Tues, Weds & Thursdays, baking and shipping Christmas cookies, holiday shopping, food prep and party hosting, I've let the business side of my life slide but since my customers start returning to work late this week and early next, I've got to get my butt back in the saddle again...

I've allotted about ten more minutes here, then I'll move to a graphics program to get started on some artwork before the kids arrive. When my eyes start swimming - a sure sign that it's time for a break - I'll check back in.
 
Well, I have been up since 5am. My older sister had an appointment at 9am for a cat scan of her throat and stomach..My husband had a 9:30 am to see if he needs radiation for his prostate cancer and my oldest grandson got hurt the other day because he was knocked down going up steps and needed stitches on his face for cuts he got from the fall.I wanted to go with my husband but he said I would ask too many questions so he asked my daughter to go with him. Mind you my daughter is an RN so I am sure she will ask a lot of questions. So I have been spending the morning praying.

Today is a damp sort of day, temp is 54, so my window is open a bit. The elevator engineer is here and has been working on the elevator all morning. Hopefully, it will be good news. I just called down to the office and left a message that I needed someone to carry my garbage down. My son is not coming over today and it needs to be out of here.

What happened to yesterday?!! I started to come here in the morning, but before I could write my post.......

Well, I guess I should start at the beginning. Monday, I called our insurance broker so that I could get an appointment to get set up with Medicare. Like many other businesses, he was closed for the Holiday so I just left a message.

Yesterday morning, I was all comfy, sitting around in my PJ's, enjoying my coffee, when our insurance broker called. He could see us that morning.....in about an hour!!!! Well, it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to his office, so I raced around the house, getting dressed, waking up Andy, gathering various different paperwork, etc! We got there with 5 minutes to spare!

After that appointment, we ran a few errands and went to the park to walk. While there, we saw Chelveston napping by the pond with her friends. 😊. On the way home, we picked up a pizza 🍕.

After dinner, we went for our usual walk, checking fences, etc. When we were done, we still had some daylight, so Dio cut down another one of the bushes that we had decided to get rid of. (All together, we had 2 crepe myrtle bushes and 2 privit bushes that have out grown the area where they were growing. Two are now gone, and two more to go!). I worked at cutting up those branches until was too dark to see, and I did not finish the job...maybe I can get to it later today.

Right now, I'm having my mid-morning cuppa. In about 3 hours from now, Andy gets to see his Health Care Professional. He has worms again, and needs to get the shot tthat kills them.

Since I have 3 hours to wait around, who wants to help me find some mischief to get into?!!! 😉

I don’t envy you having to cut up crepe myrtle wood, @Trila ; that is some tough wood for sure!

I've been away from SF how long have you been without an elevator?!!!! Getting that working is a must.....in an emergency, you need to be able to get out! 😘

Thanks, but the problem wasn't the wood. The problem was that I'm so out of shape since I've broken my wrist! I cut up the crepe myrtle bush on Mon, and woke up on Tue feeling like I had been hut by a bus!!!

The privit was actually harder to do...maybe because the branches were much thicker on the privit.

Anyway, I'll get back to cutting and dragging branches once I have dinner and walk, this evening.
 
Kind gloomy today over cast & cool, so decided that going out was a way to beat the dismal day. Waiting for my wife to finish in the shower, me next to shave & shower. Going to South Point casino for buffet lunch then try our luck at the machines.
 
So my lovely Scottish gal is flying off today. I will miss her a lot

Yesterday her parents had a little afternoon wine party to say goodbye and her Dad took this photo.
They were all going out for dinner so as you can see she was dressed accordingly.
She just popped in again to say goodbye and I am feeling a little sad.😥
It was like having my Granddaughter who is far away in Australia.
It was a lovely holiday experience for me....

@Mizmo, you are an ageless beauty!
 
@Mizmo I wanna look that good now at 82!

The rain is gone and a good thing because there was lots of flooding and there were lots of trees down. It's warm again so nice to have the sun shining. Next few days will be sunny, too, and temps back down to the 50s...normal for us in January.

@hawkdon , so sorry about your foot. Get thee to a doctor!

You must eat well Don, never mind the sweets, not all the time. Please cook yourself some decent meals. there's tons of EZ recipes on YouTube. Frozen vegetables are easy to microwave or simmer in a small pot.
The supermarkets offer some store-made dinners, too.
 
Well what a day from start to finish.. it's been a long one and very busy..

It's dark now at 6.45pm and I've been home about 40 minutes..

Had an appointment at 11am.. then from there drove into town to return an item to Amazon via the P/Office, but I don't know why there was only one cashier on, and the guy at the front of the Queue had some detailed stuff to do but we stood in the Queue for 20 minutes..

I hadn't had anything to eat yet, and it was now 1pm so I popped into the pub for an all day brunch
IMG-0529.jpg

from there I drove to the next county .. and bought a whole load of Flowers and other ornamental stuff for the garden to put away for spring.. but also because I was concerned my car might not pass it's MOT for some reason, and would have to be off the road.. and I wanted to get that stuff in case I couldn't get there again for a while and the sales would be over . The potholes between this county and that.. and all around the major town there are big enough for a man to jump in.. absolutely appalling. In the dark those roads will be treacherous.. :eek:

Drove back dropped everything off at home, gave the foot well a little vacuum.. and took the car in for it's MOT. I waited in the pub across the road from the garage.. different pub.. which made me laugh because aside from my lunch with DD last week.. I haven't been in a pub for a good while, and here I was 2 different ones in one day! :D.. I only drink coke or coffee so pubs don't get rich from me unfortunately for them, but the second pub was not a gastro-pub like the first, but a traditional English drinkers pub so it was cosy sitting in there with coffee and just doing a crossword, while I waited.. .. for an hour for the work to be done..

I'm very happy to say my car passed again..yeahhh.. I was so delighted I drove in the dark over hill and dale to the Chinese restaurant and got some Pork Spare ribs in BBQ sauce take out..

My legs are a little sore, a lot of driving so far this week.. but I have nothing planned for the rest of the week.. so hopefully rest up for a bit..
 
I hope your blood work came back good. Did it? I went for labs last Friday and fasted 12 hours. I had to give a urine sample too and could hardly do that because of UTI. Some of my. labs were in the normal range and others were to high or too low. Some I don't understand why he wanted me tested for a few other things. They took 8or9 vials of blood. Good luck with your Dr and lab work.

@Blessed

I have to go back on the 11th to do the actual doctor visit. I won't know anything until then. I have my fingers crossed, The only thing I am worried about is the A1C.
