What are you doing today?

Last day of a six day stretch at work. While it was busy and tiring, it was just ‘normal crazy’ vs ‘off-the-chain’ crazy. Still, looking forward to three days off

Having read over the entries for the last few days, May I make a gentle suggestion? How about we give the ribbing about ‘the steering wheel’s on the wrong side’ a break?

have a good day, friends

Strange... can't see why that would lead to banning, no matter what you meant...

They say it goes against "Community Standards" and they will ban you for writing the word "fat". That is why my keto group started their own website on Mighty Networks. Could not say the word fat because they said we were making fun of fat people. Even though most of the members were fat and were saying they were getting rid of fat or they were eating fat. Nobody would ever make fun of a fat person in those keto groups. There are other words too. I think maybe gun is one but not sure. I see hunters post pictures of what they have killed hunting. So who knows. Maybe it is a matter of random picks.

It was probably a computer that did it, not a person, zeroing in on the rabbit and word "shot".

I think probably it is. But it is the idea of it. Should be fixed to not pick on people who use it innocently. They have taken my posts down before and not ban me. Then a few days later put it back up again. Like a coconut pie recipe I shared from a southern cooking page.

Yes but the thing is the dam thing is still there and hurts like h*ll and I do everything as if it is there which results in some catastrophes especially in the dish dept.
I am seeing the head surgeon end of month for final check and will grill her about this phantom pain thing.
Internet has all sorts of theories but I would rather hear straight from the horse's, sorry doctor's mouth😉

Phantom pain is real pain. My mother-in-law lost both of her legs and still had to take pain meds for the pain. Don't know if it ever stops after time because she did not get the chance to find out. I hope your pain goes away after your body gets used to it being gone.

Must have been horrible for your mother having the leg phantom pain.
I am allergic to aspirin so cannot try that.
I was told beforehand that I would have 'some' phantom pain for a 'while' and of course it has only been four months since the chop off.
Seems the brain sends the signal when the removed part is needed for action and of course there is only the nerve ending so that's how the mayhem starts. That's why pain meds don't work. Just something I will have to live with till I pop my clogs.:LOL:

I heard that acupuncture helps. Not sure how they do that since the limb that is missing is gone. I know it works for a lot of health issues so maybe.

Yesterday was not a great day for me. So far today is starting out ok. I didn't sleep well, but I did sleep some. Right now Andy is here waiting for me to finish my coffee so that we can go out....and he'll get his food dish.

My PT is an hour later than usual today, so I'm taking my time. ☕ After PT I have some errands to run....then the whole day will be shot. So that's it for me.

That is one area in the discussion I want to have with the surgeon at next appointment. I do still have the 'stump' and the index finger which is on same nerve root hurts too so could be points of needle jabbing. Wait and see...tralala.....:LOL::LOL:

The whys and wherefores of post amputation phantom pain has long mystified me. Thanks for illuminating us.

I hope the doctors can help you with this. 🤗
 
I have a doctor appt. today, the guy with the leg stents. I don't want to leave my apt. Don't know why just don't want to go out anywhere. Ever again. At least that's how it feels. I wonder if I'll go. I'd have to leave after 1:30. I think I'm talking myself out of going anywhere. I should go though.

Yes, c'mon , c'mon, get yourself moving and be glad that you can get out.
You need those stents to keep your blood flowing happily
Chase those blues away
Report back later....(y)👮‍♂️
 
I know most of you will not understand my happiness today over finally reconnecting my computer with my printer but I am SO happy I did it.......myself! I was so pleased with myself after printing a couple of test pages that I decided to figure out how to get Libre Office installed and working. That has never worked since I bought this new computer last summer. I have so much saved that I have written and including my eBooks that I was not able to bring up at all. Well, I did it. And can now write using it once again. What a difference it makes.

I am pretty happy today.
 
Been to the next large town to drop off a whole load of donations. I cleared out my Ottoman bed of all the bedding, and cushions and pillows.. and the last of the shoes belonging to Estranged O/H.. these ones were his best shoes.. I don't know why I held onto them even after I gave a load of his shoes to the Charity shop months ago.. anyway they're all gone now.. not even one pair left..

I had a wander around the shops.. not a pleasant experience in that town tbh, it's so run down, and poverty stricken.. and grim...not helped by it being very overcast and grey skies today..

I dropped into Costco on the return journey and bought some Frozen Prawn Wonton soups.. and a dozen cans of Tuna steak

I'd just got out of my outdoor clothes when there was a ring of the doorbell.. There was a guy standing there with a a delivery of large package of medication for me.. . I was confused I thought he must have the wrong address, but no, it was for me..

When I opened the package there was every medication that I;ve taken in the past 2 years for various ailments.. but which are not on repeat ( except for the Asthma meds).... and very oddly.. they had May 2022 Date on them.. so they've had them at the pharmacy made up since MAY .. which is very odd because I have a repeat prescription of one medication which I collect myself religiously every 4 weeks.. and they've never mentioned any outstanding meds that have been waiting to be collected since May.. :unsure:..the Pharmacy was closed so I couldn't call them.. but I'm going to call tomorrow and find out what happened..
 
I'm home. It was an okay morning. Supervisor not quite himself yes, but bopping along and cheerful. Says he feels fine, but holy cow! You should see his arms from needles wielded by techs who didn't believe him when he mentioned that he has rolling veins. And his hand from where there was some sort of IV. Eeeek.

I'm not working tomorrow unless he's feeling unwell and calls me so probably don't have to go back to work until Wednesday. Yay.

Not gonna work in the garden this afternoon (she said). Maybe gonna work in the garden tomorrow (she said).

Truth to tell, it's getting kinda late in the season, and I'm burned out on gardening for the summer. Ready for fall to get here. It's still weeks and weeks away, and frost? That's but a faint memory and at least three months down the road.

Don't get me wrong. I love my garden and enjoy just sitting and admiring it. It's the work involved that I wish would just be done. You know...so that I can whine and moan because it's winter and ask the age-old question "is it spring yet?" :D:rolleyes:

@hollydolly I was just going to ask you if you're getting any relief from the heat yet...et voila! you posted. If it's any comfort, it's overcast and kinda gloomy here, too. It's even cool, only 81.

Ex-OH didn't take his shoes when he decamped? That seems a tad odd.

Wonder what's going on with the pharmacy.
 
No not so odd about the shoes.. because almost all of the shoes he left behind were dress shoes, and he prefers trainers.. he took all of those.. aside from one pair...he didn't even take his shirts.. and there was 30 of them.. of course he was trying to dress like the 25 year old he went off with no doubt... so he wouldn't have wanted those grown up shirts and shoes.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

yep still no relief from the heat.. horribly humid today...
I know what you mean with regard the garden.. I'm the same.. had enough of it even tho' I;ve been unable to do anything with it for weeks..and once the rains come I'll have to start cutting hedges and mowing lawns once again until probably the end of October.. Last year I was still mowing in November..

Howzabout you just have a rest on your day off? :D(y)

Excellent going, Katlupe…….is so rewarding accomplishing some things by yourself…..and you did a challenging task.
There are times I feel that way myself.

well done (2) (1).gif
 
My moving date is now Thursday, come hell or high water. My cousin says every time he mentions to his friends the date I'll be there, they laugh. This time is it.

I spent the day packing things. I wonder if I will ever get done. I have to sort stuff into pack and mail, pack to put in car, box and bag to donate to St. V's, or just throw stuff away. I am getting a tiny bit grumpy about this never ending chore.

Tonight, I called my husband to follow me to the large parking lot selected by the car transport people, so I'd have a ride home. Their car carrier is big! I get in the car, and it won't start. I called the guys and they said if I picked them up, they would fix it. They did with a handy battery charger thing. Then I drove my car and they followed me back to the mall (an hour away). Then they inspected the body of the car and I had to wait for that so I could sign off on it. They were pretty amazed that the car drove so well and had little body damage. The whole thing took an hour.

I put all the boxes in my daughter's car. She checked, and the car transport people agreed that it was okay. On small box was so heavy that I wondered what was in it. I'm going to ask. I'm just glad to get shed of all her stuff and that blankety-blank car!

The guys were from Georgia (former USSR). They think Putin is evil, and I agreed with them. Really nice guys. One guy said he worked for "the embassy" for 20 years, and they gave him a green card. Don't know if he's a citizen or what he did at the embassy. I was dying to ask, but figured it was MYOB time.

Then my husband said, let's go get something to eat. I said, just let me pull my car into a space that isn't so close to the car carrier. Then I'll ride over with you to ENP (a restaurant in the mall parking lot). He disappeared. I drove by all the fast food joints, and ENP, and no husband. I went home and he pulled in behind me.

I said the FDA is going to allow hearing aids to be sold over the counter in a couple of months. They will be cheap. You can afford to buy them.

He said doesn't have a hearing problem. The problem is that other people don't articulate properly.

I did not laugh or disagree with him. I always articulate properly. I speak much louder than normal just for him.
 
Well, Happy Da\y to YOU all... Well, I need to get out of this lazy mood I am in, so much to do before summer and fall end... Like there is 17 weeks to Christmas... I have to put a water seal on the gazebo Lorie and I built... The Water Seal on the cement block we put on the front of the house still needs to get a railing on it... Probably not till next spring for the railing. I have to get the outside wall fixed where they put the new window in last week... Gotta get the body work done on the truck, so the rust doesn't get out of control... And get the shop organized, been here a year now this week, and the shop still looks like we just moved in and worse. All before the leafs begin falling off the big ol'maples...

So if it is still raining come around 9 this morning, I guess I should get my a... out to the shop and try and start organizing it..
So, I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... cheers~
