Ditto on the meatloaf sandwiches. Heck, earlier I even posted about meatloaf sandwiches (they're proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy). We had meatloaf for supper Monday. Lunch today is a meatloaf sandwich. I might just skip breakfast-type food and make a meatloaf sandwich instead.

And...it's my laundry day, too.

Tomorrow it's back to the biscuit shop. When I get up at 3am, I'm reminded of the old Dunkin' Donuts commercial when the guy gets up and says "It's time to make the donuts."

I totally LOVE meatloaf sandwiches.

I am feeling pretty good today, so I plan to make meatloaf for supper. I adore cold meatloaf sandwiches, so I am really excited about this.

I am also going to rearrange the kitchen. My daughter, bless her heart, has totally messed it up. She keeps buying things that have no place to go, so they are stuffed everywhere they will fit. Plus, she changed my organized kitchen into a disorganized kitchen. I like a place for everything, and everything in its place. She won't mind -- she asked me yesterday how she was supposed to use the microwave with all the stuff blocking it. She put that stuff there, I pointed out. There is nowhere else to put the stuff (mostly spices and weird flours) unless I step in and put an end to this travesty.

And laundry ... I am going to do laundry before we run of towels and I run out of clean clothes.

I'm not complaining about my daughter. I am happy to do this, and to be able to. She is very busy with me, the dog, her job, and grad school. I don't expect miracles from someone who is so busy. Plus she just discovered, as part of doing her job, that the school is teaching future special educators a method of handling students who are autistic that is unacceptable and way outdated. So she has been volunteered to work on that with the departments who are involved. That's a big job, but she is qualified to do it, and has the support of many of the professors.This is important to her because two of her brothers are autistic.

The good thing is that she'll be so busy, and hopefully I'll feel great like I do today, that I can resume cooking. She introduces me to new dishes all the time, most of which I don't like (but don't usually tell her). I could acquire a taste for them, but I don't want to. I already did that with oatmeal, and that's enough.

Meatloaf sandwiches......LOVE......i usually heat the meatloaf up some, and with mayonnaise.....yummy.
 
I took my early morning walk around 6:30,wearing shorts again,hoodie to buy local paper. The temp was 61,no wind wearing my yellow reflector vest When I returned watered the plants/flowers in our community garden
This afternoon,my friend, Mary&I are going on a 'road trip',to Office Depot&Target,need couple items at each place. Lately its been every couple of weeks which is fine,I call her to see when she's available
 
It is very wet here today and I will likely stay indoors.

Yesterday was a big day for me. I went for comprehensive bloodwork early and by late afternoon the results were being posted on my online medical records. Of greatest concern was the PSA test which would tell me if this long battle with prostrate cancer was coming to an end.
Results were posted intermittently over the afternoon and early evening except for the single one of greatest concern. All of the other results were excellent, but I started to worry a lot that the missing PSA results would condemn me to a continuation of treatment, possibly including chemo.
Finally this very last result came in, and I am so very happy that this three year phase of my life is over.

I have had quite a bit of support from members of this forum, and I am so very appreciative.

That line put a smile on my face. My mother used to say that - I haven't heard it in years and it brought back some nice memories. Thanks for that. :love:

Today will be a busy errand day for me - mammogram, library, quick Walmart pickup ( baby food for the dog - we put his meds in it), and some grocery shopping. Can't believe we're on the edge of a weekend again already. The time flies even when there are few things on my schedule.
 
Two observations from today …

let’s get the aggravating one out of the way first:
>>trying to get a new service added to Verizon phone line is *much* easier than having one removed, Oy vey

they ‘can’t take it off’ at the store …. Calling the service # takes you around the mountain several times with robotic prompts. I did, at one point, get an actually human but the called dropped while she had me on “a brief hold” and after waiting 15 min x2 for another person, I gave up.. for today. Sigh

second observation, more humorous…
>> it is a sad commentary on my intelligence that *I* am the one who stepped on the ‘pre-baited,’ sticky trap for roaches I had put down in the bathroom …

I was in knee-high nylons, so, right, just slip the sock off…. Not so fast! I’m trying to work stocking off, sticky-as-hades gunk is now adhering to the inside of my pants hem. So, attempt to liberate said clothing with fingers…. No deal… fingertips now engulfed in clear muck. I felt like Bree Rabbit when he got mixed up with the Tar Baby

eye yay yay what a day. So glad I get to go back to work tomorrow where there’s no stress 😂😂😂
 
I don't visit this forum very often(shame on me!)
I am a lonely widow in my nineties, so coming in here
and elsewhere is really what I need to do.
This morning my driver( a lovely lady) took me to have
my hair done, then to the bank, and lastly to the grocery
store. Now it is almost time for supper, and then to
watch TV.
Not the most exciting day!

well Tortiecat, I think that's a plenty busy day for 90..(y).. it would be busy for me 25 years younger... :D
 
It's coming up to bedtime for me, but I've had a busy day right from 7am this morning when I got my Ikea delivery.. parcels were so large I had to ask the driver to lift them into my hallway for me.....one item missing so at 7.30am I had to call their customer services, and the awol item is being delivered tomorrow

Then all day today I've had meetings...so there's been lots of talking with lots of different people.. in groups and also one to one..meetings

After my last meeting, I needed to drive to the next town to do some business at a bricks and mortar bank rather than online , there are none left in my town ...so off in the dull, gloomy overcast weather to the next town.. and then after that business done... I caught my breath by having a latte at the coffee house next door to the bank , and writing up my Diary of the events of the day...

Treated myself to some new Ghost perfume..for being such an industrious girl..:sneaky::giggle:...

Stopped off at the supermarket and bought a bunch of groceries mainly meat and dry goods.. for stocking up because we're being threatened by great shortages this coming winter

Got home, checked the garage roof wasn't leaking where the corner of the flat roof had been tarmac'd and re-felted and everything was dry.. so I can put my car back in there next week when the weather gets bad..

Weather was so dull that at 5pm it was like dusk...

Had a very easy dinner.. the remains of last nights Chow mein.. and added some soy sauce to it and served it with Bavarian ham..., watched a bit of TV... washed up, and now I'm here reading the forum with a cuppa char, before bed..

I'm only 80 so could probably add a 3-mile walk🚶‍♀️, a couple of sets of tennis🎾 and swim a few laps🏊‍♀️.

Well, I did go to work at 4 this morning (have to get up at 3)⏰ but felt unwell:sick: so came home early after making enough biscuits for the whole darned town.


ETA: Oh, the excitement! My Golden Fleece scrubbers were just delivered. (It doesn't take much to please me.)
