What are you doing today?

Made the mistake of eating a tiny little bit of Mozzarella cheese about 2 hours before bed last night, and paid the price by being unable to sleep. It always affects me like that, so I usually don't eat cheese or drink coffee after around 7pm .

I had to be up early to drive over to the hospital at the next county to get a covid check in readiness for a surgical procedure I'm having on Tuesday.!

It's lashing of rain.. and when I left the hospital I drove into the nearest large town to pick up some groceries and hardware. Absolutely packed full of people. I was surprised because we have a shortage of fuel here currently with many fuel stations closed.. and huge queues and maximum spend for those who are open ... so people don't have fuel to waste , yet it was verrrry busy on the roads.

Anyway I'll probably have a sleep this afternoon to make up for last night ..it's 1pm now...
 

Holly, best of luck with the surgery on Tuesday, I have a minor (at least I hope it is minor) surgery scheduled for Friday on my hand, we can recover together.

Going through my stash today to come up with some fabric for the window. I have the window film on the outside doors and it is beautiful, but I need the sunlight in that room as it is mostly used for my sewing. Thinking of a top tier valance, bare in the middle and a bottom tier. Will put something on the desk allowing Riley to access the window behind the curtain. That way the snoopies can have a bird's eye view of mostly ceiling.
 

Its early here...about time to press the coffee "on" button...lol.
Was just thinking about what project to tackle today. Yesterday it was doc appts and a late lunch for us and that about blew the day...its been raining here and we drove through it to the doc and back and it sprinkle showered the rest of the day.

Supposed to spotty rain more today so guess it will be inside duties. Thankfully the house is big so we don't get bored on "inside" days.

No peeling, just wash them real good then cut the core out and slice. There was no way I could peel them, but I have not usually peeled them in the past anyway. I liked the red color the peels give, not to mention the fiber and nutrition in the peels.

If you use an instant pot or other pressure cooker, the peels seem to have dissolve. I thought there would be bits of peels and there was not. I blended them when it was done cooking and the IP had released. A baby could eat it.

Oh gosh, thank you for writing that out for me!!! :)
I do not have an instant pot, but I have a rice cooker that seems similar to me. :unsure::unsure::unsure:
Your post does make me even more interested in considering getting an instant cooker, though too. And an apple corer!😁
I have to eat most of my foods pureed, so oh, what a treat that would be!:giggle:

I posted a link to my blog in my diary to the post I just wrote about it. I imagine a rice cooker would work. I used to make it on a wood stove, just simmering all day. Makes your house smell so good!
 
Drying my tears after the lawn guy took a whack at my tree this morning. He and I have been having an ongoing thing about me wanting him to move the tree and him wanting it to stay put. It's perfect where it is says he.

It's getting to tall I kept moaning, It looks out of place in the wee perennial border, I want it on the other side of the fence.

Too tall he says, there's a solution for that. He goes to his truck, comes back with a giant pair of loppers, tells me to close my eyes and proceeds to hack away telling me he is going to "shape it"

I have to admit once done it will look better when it fills in a little.....BUT I am not going to tell him that....might get another tree.
 
We went to Wendover, NV today. Great time.

On the way back we are driving in the fast lane, passing a semi, the speed limit is 80, on 😂 I80. Anyway, I scream at my husband “pull over” cause the black car ahead of us is COMING TOWARD us.

He is driving the wrong way, on a major two lane highway, in the fast lane. The highway is fenced on both sides so no way to pull off. Just get in the other lane and pray this idiot does not kill us or the ones behind us.

Called 911, the truckers ahead had already called, but my husband noted the mile marker and we were able to give it to them. Then we drove home and changed our underwear 😳

OMG, @Aneeda72 That was a close one for everyone on the highway.

The same thing happened in August of this year only two people were killed and one injured in the head on collision due to the driver who was driving the wrong way. I don’t see any news reports on yesterday, yet, so hopefully they got this guy stopped in time.

I think fencing the highway in order to keep people off the land was a mistake. There is no way to pull off the highway now, the shoulder, next to the fast lane, has been made too narrow for a car.
 
Not allowed to go anywhere because I have to self isolate before my hospital procedure on Tuesday.. so this morning, I was measuring up for some framed art that I've found online that I like which will look good in a couple of spaces that's been needing something to jazz them up. ordered them as well as some new Indoor plant pots in Black and gold.. for my o/h's office room... and the other in a slate grey for the livingroom..
I'm a sucker for plants both real and excellent imitations, and I have them in every room in the house.. so I've ordered those...( not Amazon)

I hurt the Extensor muscle on my left forearm a few days ago lifting small dumbell weights, dunno how I did it, but instead of getting better, the pain seems to be getting worse and it's making it difficult for me to do everyday tasks like washing up, or showering without it hurting loads .. I've gotta research how to get some pain relief from it...
 
My early morning walk at 6:45 didn't last long because it started to rain lightly,was 63 .If its still raining,I'll be doing my version of 'singing in the rain' as I walk 6 blocks to our 10:30 church service
The rest of my day,read local paper, talk with my brother.I'll find out if we are resuming our 'family zoom' meetings,read my book
 
I can't say for just today, but, I've been clearing the jungle from around the Fl. house. Had to wander in and cut millions of vines and other debris just so I could hire a tractor (knew I should have brought either my tractor or backhoe down here) :( to come and dig up the palmetto bushes. Since I had to have a tractor here, I went ahead and had a bunch of limerock hauled in so I could continue the driveway. All in all, it's been a busy 2 and a half weeks, but, the end is in sight. :)
