What are you doing today?

Started the first step in sauce making,, cooking down the quartered tomatoes.
That step will be repeated several times as there are more tomatoes on the porch.

I gently hinted to hubby that I could use some help,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he's no where to be found. :sneaky:

And like the dog ,, I'm hoping he isn't getting into trouble,,like falling on his sore shoulder or overworking it.:eek:

At least the dog is keeping hubby's chair warm for him,, sleeping on it.:)
 

Dusting? I did that recently, like maybe in June or thereabouts. I pretend it's not there and hope it goes away. I mean, who would notice besides me?

Iron? I have one and an ironing board. When I moved here and got all moved in, DD and I had a garage/yard sale. All the duplicate household things were sold...like DD's iron and ironing board. Now on the rare occasions when something needs to be ironed, guess who gets to do it?

Working tomorrow morning, of course, because it's Labor Day weekend. Therefore, I will labor. Then a longtime friend of DD and mine is coming to visit tomorrow afternoon. She lives on the other side of the city so visits are rare. It's supposed to rain all day...we are going to watch chick flicks, eat decadent stuff, and drink Sangria. Suits me just fine.

yes well I've been on Diazepam for many years.. just one 5mg pill stops my back going into Spasm during the night, and taking my legs from under me when I stand up.. out of bed..

However the Doctor announced them to be ''dangerous'' today because of their addictive qualities.. so I asked..well then there must be another Muscle relaxant out there.. and she just ignored me, continually insisting that I just take Ibuprofen or Co-codamol... until I insisted she look at my notes.. and she realised I couldn't take those.. However she might as well have not bothered prescribing the 2 mg , they will make not a jot of difference..

Fortunately I have Muscle relaxants here ( not Diazepam)which I got perfectly legally a few weeks ago..

It's so frustrating when doctors don't listen. Shouldn't that be the first thing a doctor does, listen to their paitent? I've been having the same struggle lately (well, and in the past) in trying to get my doctors to understand that I am, in fact, still withdrawing from the Clonazepam I've been tapering myself off for months now. They keep wanting to give me more of it or a stronger version; e.g., I was prescribed 5 mg Diazepam for anxiety when I very clearly explained I am coming off benzodiazepines.

I took one, had a bad reaction and told the doctor I wouldn't be taking them. What is it with doctors not listening? Ironic that I'm being given the medicine you need and I don't. What a world.

I do have to add that I have found a practitioner who is listening, understands my struggle and is helping me. Thank the freaking blue skies for this guy!

I'm sorry about your struggle with pain, @hollydolly :(

Driving around looking for my dog, she has been missing 3 days now. I have called the pound all the rescue places every vet and still nothing.

Have a strange feeling she got into a farm and got shot.
I will check out the farms around me.

It rained all day.

Today was National Ginger Appreciation Day. Andy decided to celebrate by sleeping in the house all day...

I kept busy, making pompoms for one of my skating friends. He is surprising his wife with a new pair of skates for her b-day. The skates are periwinkle with a black trim. The pompoms are yellow with a little periwinkle mixed in...

I used to make pompoms all of the time. It was a lot more of a challenge using just my left hand!! LOL
 
Wound up going down to the laundry room after midnight because I was on the forum. Somebody made a liar out of me. I said nobody goes down there during the middle of the night hours but a young man came in just as I was about to bring my clothes upstairs. I dried them earlier than usual starting a little after 7 a.m. so I could put most of them away and leave for the post office by 10:00. Friday before the lunch crowd is usually a good time to go but they were short handed today; the pick up window wasn't open so I had to wait on the other line which always has more people. The man ahead of me, who was unmasked, suddenly had a coughing fit, so much so that even the mail clerks became concerned. One said maybe he needed water. I'm glad I had my mask on because he kept walking back and forth past me. They used to refuse to wait on customers without masks but I noticed today they didn't enforce that. Anyway...I asked if he was having pain or anything else because he kept kneeling and grabbing his chest. He said it was his asthma and he'd forgotten his pump. Finally his coughing calmed down.

I kept trying to nap today but only wound up only taking brief ones while sitting at the table, due to phone calls. I'd balanced my main check book and was playing WWF when the naps overtook me. One call was from my BFF, the other from my Honorary Daughter asking if I wanted to get out of the house to hear some music and I decided I did. I'd read her email earlier about an outdoor Jazz concert and wasn't sure I wanted to be out amongst a crowd of people. But then I remembered, lots of people don't go to hear Jazz like they do rock or R & B. My son went too. Just as I thought the park wasn't crowded and there was plenty of room for social distancing. My HD had the forethought to bring chairs for us. The music was good but I wish there was more music and less singing. The singer was noticeably off key a few times. But God love him, another band member announced that he'd just lost his sister two days ago. Despite that, for the most part, the band sounded very good and I boogied a bit, albeit sitting down. 🤓 I was nice getting out and hearing live music.

Diva, I feel sure your sitting-down boogie is better than some ppl’s standing-up version 😉
 
Another day at home... It's sunny and warm... but I have a delivery due this afternoon, and as my neighbours are away no-one can take it in if I'm not here and sometimes they just leave it on the doorstep, which is rife for theft. Anyway I don't like to impose on the neighbours , so I try always to be home when a delivery is due..

I was going to go to the Tip to drop off an Old cordless vacuum ( well it's only a year old but it's useless at picking anything up)... if my Delievery comes at the earlier projected time I might still go..otherwise tomorrow when I have to be at my friends house..I'll take it then to drop off on the way..

Um....have you met me?!! All of my closets are crowded and packed full!!!! 😂😂😂😂

I'm not really concerned about the iron. Right now, I swear that I have a new (family sized) jar of peanut butter....somewhere. I have been looking for it for 3 days, and I can't find it. I think it must be moving around as I'm looking for it! Sneaky little #%&#$!!!!!
