@Mizmo That's not good news about your thumb! Let's hope the powers that be get on the stick and get you scheduled for further treatment sooner rather than later.

@hollydolly Sounds like you've about had your fill of rain for a while. Check your weather forecast. Maybe there's some sun in it soon.

Re the thumb
Thanks all for kind comments and wishes,
Just had a really bad couple of days trying to accept it.
I am still blaming Docs for allowing it to go so far and resulting in this. They know of my previous cancer history.
Another cyst has already formed right beside the graft. I may even lose the thumb

All that pain, worry and discomfort for this.
Meantime I wait for appointment for the radiation which incidentally will not be at my local hospital so travel involved too.
And so it goes on...the waiting.....

I didn't read your original post about your thumb but I'm so sorry this is happening to you! Hoping for the best outcome.

Max got a reprieve. This new vet is wonderful. (He's Ukrainian!) Max had a seizure yesterday. He might have a brain tumor. He might not. He got an antibiotic shot; a long lasting steroid shot; a pill that Dr. Yuri said would make Max feel like a 'happy drunk.' He's not in pain or discomfort. When we got home, his sister Buffy smelled the vet on him and now she's running and hiding. Max must have told her "You're Next!" But, she's not.

Thank you all so much. 😘

Andy sends his best wishes to both Max and Buffy.....stay happy and healthy! 🐱

It's just after 10am, it's pouring with rain.... and my car isn't in the garage, apparently the rain is going to stay on at least until tomorrow. The postman is due any time now, so after he's been and I've signed for my package I'll put the car away...

I fell asleep on the sofa last night watching tv and didn't wake up until 3am.. stumbled my way to bed, hardly aware of my surroundings, and of course this morning when I got up, I had to tidy the livingroom and kitchen because I hadn't done it last night as I would usually .. so there was me at 8am this morning tidying, dusting, and vacc'ing... that's not good for my soul.... :ROFLMAO:

No actual plans for today.. just see where the day takes me...

I know I'm late in seeing this post, but I was thinking about how nice and clean your car is! Wasn't that nice of Mother Nature to pitch in and help you?!!!! 😁

Off to see the Wizard, I mean chiropractor in a couple hours. Saturday I cleaned the house windows and Sunday I paid dearly for it with my back. So darn discouraging when everything I try to do goes right to my arthritis in my back. VA gave me a Tends unit which helps a little. I refuse to take a narcotic drug. Tylenol only.

I'm with you! I take as few meds as I can get away with! I hope you feel better.
 
We still do lots of GP appointments by phone. My appointment was for 9:20; he called at 8:45. To the grocery store to return a chocolate bar that I was overcharged over. Only $1 but I was annoyed by the service. Will do two walks today since the weather is above freezing. Maybe play bridge online. In the evening will continue the next episode of Perry Mason. Very different from the series we watched in our youth.
 
It's been pouring of rain all day, and my daughter was moving house in it... .

The removal van did 2 trips.. because although she was only moving a short distance .. she was moving into a slightly smaller property so she wasn't sure how all her things would fit in.. so she had the movers take the big furniture first, and return for a second load of the smaller stuff, so at least she could have the big stuff already in and arranged in place..like her modular sofa, and king size bed etc .....they'd just finished getting everything into the new house, and she' was rushing back to clean the previous house before it started to get dark ( despite the fact she was soaked through due to the rain).. and her car wouldn't start.

She couldn't figure what was wrong ( new car only a year old.) ..and used every day to go back and forth to work .. so she had to wait for the recovery folks to come and fix it or provide a courtesy car... Thankfully it was something simple and she was off and literally running, and hour and a half later .. trying to get everything cleaned at the last house, and trying to keep the elderly dogs calm and settled in their new surroundings.

I've been on the end of the phone about 10 times today while she called with updates ..it's racing towards 5.30pm now when it gets dark.. and my daughter is actually right this moment, trying to erect some temporary fencing at the new place where there's a slight gap.. where she's afraid the dogs could get out ...she's like 6 energiser bunnies on speed dial...

Today I've done very little here at home.. cleaned all the insides of the windows upstairs, cleared out a drawer in the dressing room that basically holds swimwear, cleaned the kitchen as I would every day anyway.. and basically nothing else...except now I have roast beef and Potato Fritters cooking for dinner...
 
@hollydolly .. It sounds like your daughter inherited her energy from you, Hols. As for moving during rain .. been there, done that - not fun! At least, the worst is over. I hope the dogs settle .. but, they are probably used to moving and will adapt quickly.

Going out to do some grocery shopping. Hope I can get everything for a nice stir-fry, as daughter is coming for a visit. It's a beautiful day out there .. sun is shining, blue sky :)

I hope DD is pleased with her new place! Moving is such a cramp, and to have a vehicle breakdown on top of it all!

Now she's mending fences, don't we wish we had that energy?

Wishing DD much happiness in her new home 🌹
 
I made supper before 12 noon!

Baked a large chicken breast skin on and bones in. Well seasoned. Added a potato to bake while the oven was on.

Made stuffing baked on the side; onion, celery, butter, sage. I think I baked the chicken just to have the stuffing!

Will saute' my remaining asparagus later.

Cleaned the kitchen. Was putting clean dishes away and noticed 2 of my little white bowls were missing! Looked all over and finally found them in the wrong cupboard set down into a small serving bowl. :oops:
 
Okay, then. Shorted another hour and a half today:mad: Don't know what the Golden Child did during the night, but it didn't look like much.

Since I've been home, I did more weeding and prepped a flower bed. DS and his husband will be here in a little while for a late lunch, and after they're gone, the ixia bulbs are going to be planted. You read that right. Planted. Forget-me-nots? Soon. Not today. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday after work.
