@bobcat I'm clocked out now and letting my wits loose to run wild. Loins are going to re-girded in sweats.

@Kaila I finally found a place on the web that told me the $9 is an overpayment for 2022 taxes. I have no idea why it came from SSA and not the IRS. It's in my account now and no longer pending. Fine by me.

It's only 65 here and overcast, spitting a bit of rain here and there. I won't be sitting on the teeny tiny patio this afternoon.

After thinking on it for a few minutes, I'm not gonna wear sweats. I'm keeping my skinny jeans on because they hug me and make me feel warmer and gonna throw a flannel shirt on over my t-shirt, too. It's a tad too nippy to suit me.

I'm thinkin' those wits of yours have a bit of a wanderlust, so you maybe should keep watch that they don't get lost. Hate to send a search party out for 'em.
I'm also thinkin' that loins in sweats would have been kinda' running wild also, so good call on the skinny jeans.
 

Well, I can't tell you how hard it's raining again..it's double torrential if that's possible...

I had to run to the Barn again and try and cover everything with sail sheets and towels to prevent water getting into the electrics, and into all the tools on the workbench. I've left the heavy duty humidifier running..it's past 8pm so it's pitch dark, but fortunately I have lighting in the barn.



Just had dinner.. smoked haddock and sweet potato mash...
 
Before I write about what I'm doing today, I'll mention what I did yesterday because for me, it's significant. I fell asleep before being able to post about it. I'm almost caught up with laundry! In the 26 years being retired, I've never been this close. 😅 I asked my son to take down one bag for me on his way out to work (at 2:30 a.m.), but he took both bags, which was nice.

I always use double loaders, so it's like I did 4 loads of clothes. I washed my fall jackets and hoodies and dried them downstairs, which is why I was able to do two double loads at one time. I also washed towels and dried them my apartment dryer. I put away most of the pieces, including ones left over from Monday.

I was able to refill three pill cases while my son and I sat and talked as he sorted beans for his bean soup. I knew it was critical to get that done because even the travel case that I keep in my purse was near empty. I like to make sure it's full in case I have to leave quickly in an emergency.

Today I have to get ready to go to a dinner - fashion show with my son. His GF is the sponsor and the clothing she's marketing will be featured. She's a doctor (PhD) who sees clients in the field on weekdays and marketing clothing is her second business. She loves treating me to things so my ticket is complimentary. I always return the kindness.

I'll do my nails, shave my eyebrows and try on the two outfits I'm considering. Since I've literally shrunk, I don't know if the one below will be too long. It is a two piece, ankle length caftan that my sister gave me years ago. The head wrap that came with it is skimpy so if I can't tie it so I look cute 😂, I'll have to see if a large gold colored one I have will match and not be too much of a hassle to wrap. When daylight comes, I'll put away the rest of the clothes and clean up a bit.

It's a lovely sunny Saturday and Mrs Oy is down in Cambridge visiting The Oyling. It's the Autumn Steam Gala down on the East Lancashire Railway and one of the guest locos is a favourite of mine. Jubilee class 45690 'Leander' - and after this is going in for a major overhaul - which sometimes means never to be seen again depending how much it will cost! So that's my main target for the day! 📸🚂
 
It's almost 2pm...it's been a gloriously sunny morning.. I went out to clear up any mess left by the torrential rain the last 2 days... and while I was out in the garden my friend and her husband came around.. Altho' it's chilly at 58 deg... it's warm in my enclosed garden, so we were able to sit and have tea in the sun... so nice.....

No plans for the rest of the day.... :)
 
Went to the grocery store this morning. Since we were going away for 10 days we ate all the fresh produce in the house before leaving, so it was a high priority to replenish.

Slogged through all the mail yesterday, 90% junk and have mostly caught up on emails (ditto on the junk). On a happy note, the condo had a washer/dryer in the room so we not only packed light, we brought home clean clothes instead of dirty laundry!
 
It's finally Sunday and quite cold this morning.

Weather app says round 4-6°C outdoors and 17°C indoors. Wee bit 🥶.

Planning fixing two plumbing jobs today. We'll update later, if successful or not. Watched videos in "How to Fix" on YouTube 😂

UPDATE: Have had some serious fun. Hot pillar tap installed. Right one still problematic. It's so tightly screwed in, its ludicrous. Currently working on deck mount taps in kitchen. Will take off the easy part of pipes then unscrew with better access. I'll give the final results later 😆
