This morning I decided to take the bus for the 1st time in about a month
My friend,Thora who I usually go grocery shopping with on Fri,isn't able tomorrow.I just need 5 items.The other reason I went ,to find recent issue of TVGuide{I'm a subscriber}with Tom Selleck on cover.I'm giving a gift subscription to my next door neighbor Pat for Xmas,her 1st issue starts in Jan 2021,she's thrilled. The TV section in our local paper is terrible
On my afternoon stroll I stopped at my close friend,Marcia's house,knocked on the door walked in.My 'buddy boy' Aker started barking until he realized it was me.She asked if I could take him for a walk,its been quite awhile since I've taken him.He was a 'happy camper',so was I.We didn't go far halfway around the block When we got back,he raced into the kitchen waiting patiently for his treat
 

I went on my early walk this morning around 6:30,wore my reflector yellow vest since it was a bit dark outside,temps in the 30's
This morning is my weekly chat to Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are doing
I have no other plans today,try to get in 2 more walks unless I get sidetracked doing something else
 
Watching the election voting-again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Since the same guy keeps winning, this should be the last time I should have to watch a vote for this guy. It’s getting a bit redundant. 🤯 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪
 

Outside welding Wrought Iron Fence all day since 8:30 this am, yet still more to do. Very cold here today and 20 MPH winds makes it even worse. I have about 14' of fence yet to weld. I had hopes of finishing it today, but weather and elements just slowed me down!
 
I went on my early morning walk around 6:40,was a tad nippy outside 27,but refreshing
This week's 'road trip' with Mary,we're going some place different,Home Depot. I'm looking for a room heater and some silver polish. The last 2yrs ,our new mangement company began running the daily business of our co-op apt building complex,a few residents including me have experience heat problems in our apts. I've lived here 32 yrs never had a problem before until they took over. There are some days I have heat most of the day,sometimes not. I can't tell you how ****** frustrating this is. I've been borrowing a friend's heater,want to get my own
I have no other plans today,read NYT,my book take a couple walks for some exercise

You are a braver soul than me. Our temps are about the same and I walk in our apt building basement which is a block long. 3 or 4 times around then I pray I can make it back up the steps 😂
 
Well, the housework police showed up last night 😢, and said I must clean my house or be ticketed by the carpet police, the dust police, and, ok, let’s face it, the bathtub police. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I explained I had not been feeling well.

They explained that @hollydolly does not feel well either. They, the housework police, went into great detail on all that hollydolly has accomplished since her accident. I explained that I did not feel well, or have an accident, and was older than hollydolly, fatter than hollydolly, and, well, lazy.

They handed me my vacuum. 😠. They insisted I at least make an effort. They said I cannot vacuum from my recliner. 😭 I am doing housework. 🙁. It’s hollydolly fault! 😳. But I still love her. 😍
 
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:😂🧽🧴🪣🪠...hahaha.... and I have to tell you , I'm going to get you into more trouble because I've been doing a lot today as well...

DD came and picked me up, and we took an ottoman and a bunch of sheets of cardboard to the recycle centre.. ( Tip)... then we went to the local farm and begged some wooden pallets off them which they were kind enough to let us have.. but @Aneeda72 , I hope you will be pleased to learn I had no hand in loading them into DD's van... she and the very helpful lady farm worker loaded them in...

Then we went shopping very quickly just grabbed a few things as we walked through the store to the back where the parking is.( of course we paid lol)... .. stopped off for a take-away Coffee really quickly, and then stopped off to buy a new large mirror for the bathroom, and a swing chair for the barn... ( all this because my DD is selling her very Spacious Spanish registered van tomorrow )

Drove to DD's..10 miles from here, offloaded the heavy pallets, but fortunately she has a sack truck so she was able to get the pallets off and onto that... then.. *pauses for breath*.. I left there, stopped off at her nearby town and got a key cut..., drove home, put everything away.. dashed round emptying all the waste bins so I could put the wheelie bin out ready for collection before it got totally pitch dark ... put the new mirror and the Barn chair in situ (bathroom and barn ) .. put the shopping away.. made a cuppa tea.. , and now I'm sitting here with a bit of pain... serves me right...

Now don't let me keep you away from that Vac... 🙃😊

I'm a life long walker,the 3 days I worked at local hospital I would walk 7 blocks to get there,did it for 27yrs
I'm use to walking in all sorts of weather,the only time I don't go outside if its a really windy day {winds 35 mph or higher} rain or snow.I have a partial right knee, I know my limits Sue
 
This morning took my early morning walk around 7 wore long underwear since the temp was 20.I wore my winter boots since we got 3 inches of snow during the night.I was pleasantly surprised to see most of the sidewalks were shoveled/salted
My plan this morning is to walk to Walgreens{7 blocks} which usually takes me 25 min.It will be nice to be out in fresh air with no wind I just need a couple of things.If I'm not tired I may walk home as well.This is the route I used to take when I worked at local hospital,which is 2 blocks past Walgreens
 
So far all I have done is sit in the sunroom drinking coffee with the cat in my lap while we watched the leaves fall. My wife has taken the two Bichons to the vet for an annual checkup and I am here on a quiet morning contemplating the mysteries of life. No real progress on that so far, but a break through is just around the corner, probably with the next cup of coffee.

Today is sheet washing day for me along with several other chores. I am waiting for the coffee to kick in.
 
I have started walking again, but inside as my house is 1300 sq ft and long. I walk 10,000 to 12,000 steps a day and have returned to this, circling around and around. We are 17 degrees to 30 with a wind always blowing. Just too cold for me to walk outside.

I walk every hour around the house as sitting on your butt uninterrupted can cause a TIA. Been there, not interesting in going there again. 😂
 
From when I woke up this morning I have been arguing with my hard-headed husband that he is not allowed to go outside to shovel the snow that started yesterday and ended this morning. My daughter has called 5X's telling him the same thing. I swear that if he doesn't listen to me I am going to hit him on the head !

Ha ha. Explains why we dislike the cold and live in the south. Too many "weapons" for us to choose from.

This is a problem I do not have with my husband. It goes like this:

Me: are you going to shovel the snow? Him: several hours later, and several times asking him to shovel, and he hasn’t.

Me: are you going to shovel the snow? Him: did you look outside? It’s shoveled on the other side of the street. They can walk there. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I would also like hit him in the head, but he gave away the sledgehammer. 😳

I wrote this on the 'what have you bought '' thread...

It was announced this morning..as I suspected it would be , that our whole county rather than just the West which they put into lockdown 2 days ago.. will be in lockdown again from tomorrow night midnight.

We have a very low infection rate here in this part of the county , but it's easier for them to put us up into Tier 3 as a whole county to prevent those already in tier 3 lockdown from coming here to our hospitality venues, and potentially spreading the infection ..so it means all our pubs and clubs and restaurants will close again.. this is for the 4th time since March.

As soon as I heard the news I went shopping, simply because we have no certainty of being open again before Christmas.. or even before new Year.. so I took a trip to the Bank ( I needed some cash to put into the postmens' Christmas cards, ) over in the nearby large town... then bought myself some new white silk blouses, and a royal blue one from a designer shop in the Mall..

Took my self off another 10 miles back into the countryside to the small village Garden centre in a tiny village north of here , and bought some new face masks which are excellent quality.. better than I can buy most places

Usually the garden centres at Christmas are so popular with people buying Christmas trees et al, and ice rinks .. that it's difficult to get in but it was sad, ( and also at the same time uplifting).. to see people are staying away , and there was probably only a dozen cars in the car park..
 
Today I'm hurting.

I had a trip to the ER last night due to a misunderstanding between me and a small stepladder I was stupid enough to be standing on. I went right and it went left and I met up with a tile floor that was a lot harder than I liked.

I thought I had broken my elbow but x-rays proved it only badly bruised. The little finger on my other hand didn't fare as well.

The rest of me is sprung and sore and blossoming with bruises, but I'm getting around with some moaning and groaning, which always helps.

As the song goes, I will survive.
