I'm a bit nervous about my hair appointment today. Last year I decided to go blond (I like it, much nicer than grey) and also decided to grow my hair longer into a more stylish cut. Well, I'm fed up with it, all that blow-drying drives me crazy so today, I'm getting it cut off, back to the old style - short and sweet. :) :)

Love the style/length in your profile pic!
 

I had a superb day today.

I was exhausted after looking after all the dogs at my home yesterday because they had to be indoors due to the rain so they were very excited to be here and wanted to play, and by the time they were picked up 14 hours later I was very sore...so today I kn ew I had nothing to go out for, no visitors expected nor deliveries.. and hubs at work... so once I'd done the laundry I sat down with a hot pad on my back, at the computer... and just enjoyed a whole day of doing nothing.

It also helped that it rained hard to almost all day and night so I had that feeling of cosiness you get in the winter knowing you're all warm, and don't need to go out and the rain is lashing down.. and you've got no chores or anything to do that can't wait until another day... *bliss* :giggle: :coffee:

@MickaC , how are you feeling mi chica?... has the soreness worn off yet ? 🤗
 
What i did today.
Usual morning cleaning chores.......shovelled crapy snow, a couple hours worth.
My hired man showed up with his little Kabota and loader to clear the driveway, thank goodness, there was a good dump, would have been hard shovelling.
Played musical chairs ......trying to find a comfy place for my butt and heating pad.
Sitting here on my desktop......pain, pain, pain.
There are so many places to have an injury......but, it had to be my butt.
Doesn't hurt standing or laying down.
I think there would have better things to do in this world........that doesn't pain.

Ok...done complaining...for now.

Have you got an Ipad or laptop... could you lay on your side on the bed with it propped up... ?
 
This morning around 6:50,went to take my early walk but didn't get far,sidewalks were mix of rain/snow it was windy 25mph
My friend Thora and I along with another resident/friend Jean we tried to go grocery shopping but the parking lot was too icy along with the windy condtions so we came back home
I won't be going out for my walks today, I'll walk up/down the stairs instead.I do have a pedal bike where I sit and exercise my knees

Thanks for the suggestions, Holly.....
Not trying to be a whiner......
The history of my body.
Both knees have full replacements.....that's all good.
Am overdue for both hip replacements......
So, my left hip is the worst, can't lay on that side......right one isn't as bad.....can't use my right arm for support.....because.....3 of the 5 muscles were ripped off, therefore can use that arm for a prop, no strength, and can't type with my left hand.
My bed is adjustable.....but i haven't tried to prop up my butt so the weight is off..........will try that.......heating pad helps.......will try some different things to sit on at my desktop.
Sorry for the complaining.......i will keep trying different things......i am very used to pain, but sometimes it gets me down.
P.S. yes i have laptop and ipad.....use them both.
I'm sure you can imagine the pretty colours my butt has.......no a pretty site.

There, done complaining.
Thanks Holly.

Oh please, do not for one minute apologise for suffering... :(..I'd be screaming from the rooftops if I had all that going on, how stoical you are...but I understand totally now why it's painful for you to get comfortable in any position (((hugs))) ..be well...
 
Just got back from shopping a little while ago. It was gloriously sunny, and the forecast for tomorrow is snow, so I thought I'd take the chance to go out in the sun, pick up a prescription from the pharmacy.. ..then over to my daughter's newly vacated rental to check if there was any mail for her.. then back 2 towns to the supermarket and that's when the torrential rain started...*yikes*..within minutes there were floods on many of the approach roads... ⛈️🌧️🌧️

... anyway, I got the groceries, and filled the tank with petrol, got home and all groceries put away and now got a hot cuppa tea..:coffee:

...took a delivery from Amazon..

... and best of all now I won't have to go out at all this weekend
 
Shovel and I had a workout, I hate it when it is that heavy crusty stuff. And of course when I finished the park guy comes with the snowplow to block the drive again.

Put a nice roast and veggies in the crock pot, so dinner is done and nice sandwiches for a day or two for lunch.

Then had a lookie at my bank balance, sheesh my roast beef appetite is waning and I am thinking it might be hot dogs and Kraft Dinner next month.....no wonder Amazon got rich :D
 
On my early walk this morning around 6:40,there was maybe 2 inches of snow on the ground,no wind was a tad nippy 19.It was refreshing with no wind,the only birds heard&saw were a group of crows,they certainly were loud,could of wakened up the neighborhood LOL!
My plans today,laundry,take couple walks,read local paper,my book
 
Our thermostat died at 4am, and we are freezing, no repair person until this afternoon. 😭. Finally got hold of son who is going to attempt to replace it. Get the two wire one mom, get the two wire one, I think I can replace the two wire one.

Yes, fine, I’ll send your dad for the two wire one. But, you know, it’s your dad so who knows what he will bring, if he even brings one. Meanwhile freezing my you know what off.

Got thermostat replaced and it’s working but the blower on the furnace is not working. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Waiting for repair guy, will miss dog training
 
Still unearthing old brick patio I laid many years ago. This all started when hub decided to cut down the overgrown azalea bushes off he back deck...this exposed some of the old brick patio.

Been on my hands and knees, digging up and rearranging them off and on for a few days now. Hopefully almost done. Will spray the weed kill between the cracks and then sprinkle Preen on it to keep the grass from growing. Our groundsman will thank me for that, so he doesn't have to weed whack it each time he mows all this land.

Found out its good to skip a day or two between the intense work though, so the old muscles can relax it up again. Soup for dinner. Chicken and wild rice soup with tarragon and thyme. Easy warm up.

Have a good one, folks. Love 'ya!

K, temp new thermostat put in by my son. Getting better thermostat Monday and a few HVAC repairs. Had the wrong filter which was a real problem ordered new ones from Amazon hopefully delivered tomorrow. But it’s warm again YAY
 
Restored several more old pictures this morning and went to the supermarket to get a few things for this afternoon's cooking adventure - vegetable beef soup, which is currently still in the pot but close to being done. Also put out the critter food and gassed up the snowblower as we're supposed to get another 6 inches of the stuff tomorrow.
