Today is the day.......
Starting that crappy job of leaves......i rake very little.....use the mower with the bag.
Of all the strong wind we had the last half of September......now that the leaves are falling.....no wind.....the leaves in the front are the heaviest they're been since i moved here.
Only 2 trees in the front......a really nice ash tree......and a big elm tree, but, to be technical, the elm tree belongs to the town, it's on the boulevard, do they mow there.....nope.....do they pick up leaves.....nope.....do they pick up the million twigs that get blown off....nope.
60 klm wind forecasted for tomorrow.......should i leave them for tomorrow and blow down the street......better not.
There's still leaves on these trees, the wind can take care of them tomorrow.
If i don't show up tomorrow, i'll be lost under the leaves.......

I've told so many people that it's truly a magic mop, but most folks have been burned so many times by mediocre or terrible mops that they just don't believe me. So glad you took the leap of faith and that you agree with my opinion. :)

So far my day has been upsetting. I got a phone call at 6 am from Someone I have been friends with since we met in 1st grade which was a loooong time ago. She called to tell me her husband of 50 years,had an affair years ago and had a daughter with the person he had the affair with. My friend never knew bout the affair until yesterday. She said he knew about his daughter and has seen her often. This means to my friend that he is still involved with the mother, Then she asked him why he never asked her for a divorce so he could be with the other woman. He said he didn't want their 3 children to hate him for cheating on their Mother. She asked me what she should do.I felt really bad and could not give her advice. My husband woke up and saw me crying,I told him why I was crying and he said she should divorce him and kick his a** out the door. My husband feels the same way I do. We both feel it's none of our business,but we are both very upset for my friend,I have no idea what she will do,all I know is that I will always be there for her.

What a shock to your friend - and to you. I'm so sorry for all.

My advice: All parties should tread very carefully. In your shoes, I'd offer no advice other than to seek a professional counselor to help her sort out her feelings and determine her path forward. I wouldn't even dis him to her... if they find a way to make peace and remain together, those who counsel her to dump him or tell her how terrible he is, will likely find themselves cut out of their lives.

THANK you, that was what I was thinking. I told her I will always be there for her but I do not have any advice for her. I do like your suggestion about seeing a professional counselor.
 
@Sassycakes That surely is a very upsetting situation, for so many reasons. I agree that any advice you might give her, could turn out not to fit for her personally, in the long run, and not be good for anyone.
I also agree that the suggestion for her to consider going to a counselor is very wise.
Something that you can give her, that a counselor will not be able to, is your special caring, so that is the far most valuable thing you can offer her. You might also ask her if she has eaten, gotten a little fresh air, etc, to encourage her to take some care of herself, during such a difficult time.

Well Starsong i’ve read enough of your posts to recognize that you’re in the top 1% of homemakers so had no qualms about the accuracy of your claims 😉….gotta tell ya, i even used this magic mop along with the green chenille pad for a seriously good dust-down on the talllllll master bath mirror…..talk about GREAT not to have to drag out the step stool and risk busting my buns with one foot on top of the countertop (yeah/yeah/yeah…i’m a sicko & i know it)…..it does occur to me tho that anyone who doesn’t do their own floors (or mirrors) will never understand how a mop can be LOVED lol….all i can say to those folks is that you are really really missing out!😬😬😬
 
@MickaC have no ideal why it is in bold.

Anyway, went in petsmart today for the first time since I placed Bella. Spoke to Addies friend and co-worker. Bella is great. The young lady still works at Petsmart and still has her. She still brings her in to daycare when she works.

Still hikes with her, takes her to her parents to play with their dogs, and spoils her rotten. Bella is very active and very happy. I checked up on her, just for your, now, never going into that Petsmart again.

Hugs to you @Sassycakes and to your friend. He has just destroyed the basis of her life after 50 years. All advice by others is what I’d say to.

So I thought I’d try this. They have very limited combinations on Amazon Canada. Mop & two chenille heads are $96. Yikes. Sometimes a product is sold under a different name here so I’ll check out the cleaning devices in Walmart, etc.
 
I went to see my palliative care doc. Palliative care is for people who are not dying, too. Anyhow, I told her about this strange thing that has been going on for several months. It's called musical tinnitus or musical ear syndrome. A lot of the people who get it are very hard of hearing, but don't use hearing aids.

Well, I have it too, and the doc said she wonders if it is a side effect of chemo. I do too, because now that I know what it's called, I remembered that for many months I had regular tinnitus, which was from chemo side effects.

I hear music in my head. It is in the background, and is at a very low volume. Sometimes someone is singing, and I can't make out the words, but I can hear the instruments. Sometimes I can hear the singing, too. Sometimes it is just instrumental. 99% of the time I cannot recall ever having heard the song, with one exception - the other night's playlist was Christmas songs.

The songs don't last long -- maybe a minute at most -- and then another song kind of blends in and takes over. It can last for hours. I can do anything I want to during it because it does not disturb my concentration. Weirdly, after some intense internet searching, I realized that some of the songs do not exist.

Like yesterday, I heard men singing a song about a sunny day in San Francisco. I have not heard the song and could not find any songs like this on the internet.

When I see my oncologist next month, I am going to ask her about whether it could be (or is) a side effect of chemo.

I also made a pot of chili last night. I tried really hard not to make enough to feed an army and ended up with 4 meals for 2 people. I froze 2 containers for another day.

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.

So what happens if a trucker breaks down and needs to pull off? Or if a cop wants to pull someone over? That is not surprising that people have been killed on it. I am so glad you saw the car coming in time.
