Today about to go on a morning walk with my wife, then conference calls and a Q1 and Q2 2021 bid prep for a large customer. Also, plan to catch the Joker. He broke out of Arkham Asylum last night again. What a pest. And my cape and tights are at the cleaners to boot!
 

I woke up 'late 'this morning 7:10 which I don't do often,got dressed before breakfast then took my early walk to the corner and back
After breakfast,I strolled 6 blocks to/from local grocery store'Price Rite' needed 4 items.It was absolutely beautiful,unseasonably warm morning,temp was 70.I was looking at the trees that had changed color as I walked
After lunch&nap,it was warmer 75,so I switched into shorts then walked around the block,alas today is last day of our 'indian summer' beautiful weather
 
I woke up at 7,got dressed to take my early walk before breakfast
It was cloudy/breezy,with light rain temps in the low 60's,not much traffic because of Veteran's Day holiday
This week's 'road trip' with Mary going to Target
I'll take an afternoon walk if its not raining,rest of my day read NYT,after dinner tackle the daily puzzle or read my book

That's wonderful! I am happy for you all!
Does she have an offer on her property yet @hollydolly ?

She's sold it ..RR, .. only a few weeks until the buyers move in... in the meantime my daughter is finishing up the business etc.. and clearing out her home ready to load the removal truck. She has a big buiness, and 2 houses to empty so she's been hard at it for the last few weeks.. in the meantime she's still running the business until the handover..

I would never have chips for brekkie.. but I'm chuffed for you that you're back out into freedom again... !

We're still in lockdown, but aside from non essential shops, and gyms being closed you wouldn't tell.
My daughter returned to Spain today after 2 days here.. she was stunned at how lax we are about lockdown compared to the Spanish. She didn't have her temp taken at the airport this morning for example .. albeit they did have Track & trace.. whereas when she landed in Malaga.. she had temp taken 3 times between leaving the plane and getting through Passport control..

I'm so excited for you. Have a wonderful time, Hols. I hope the property is perfect for your daughter's needs.

Unfortunately the property was a HUGE disappointment... , so we're going to have to look again.. but we have very little time to do it, and she's further hampered by having 3 dogs, most landlords with decent properties won't accept dogs.

She just needs a short term rental to give her some breathing space to look for her forever home to buy

...also add grated cheese.. or an egg on top.. and you have a very protein and fibre filled breakfast

I just took a long walk and now I'm sitting in a butterfly garden listening to a bubbling fountain. In five minutes, it's back to my mom's house where I'm in Hell. That's life.

If I were with my mother I too would be in hell, I hope you escape soon.

Today I'm very excited to report that in a couple of hours I'm going to fetch her from the airport, where she's landing after flying in from Spain. 🥰.. she's only going to be here for a day and a half.

We're going to look at property today for her because she's selling up and coming home before Christmas this year, after being away for 11 years....

It's not so much my mom as it is my mom's situation.

She's dying. She's in pain. She vomits for hours. It's the trips to the ER. She wants to die at home, so we have Hospice in charge. They're wonderful but they're not there 24 hours a day. I am or my sister is. This month I'm the primary caregiver with an hour or so of respite a day.

Mom's balky about her meds. "Oh, that won't work!" "How do you know? You've only tried it once." "Well, I don't like it!" Etc, etc.


One expert says she has a month, another says it could go on for a while. She wants to go but I don't think she can let go. I can't stand seeing her suffering like this.
