What are you doing today?

Going to the library book sale. I like to keep one shelf of books I haven't read for emergencies.

During the Covid shut down our library closed and I reread all my keeper books and was reduced to reading my sons nonfiction books about animal rights and cloistered monks. ( I did read, "The Seven Story Mountain" and loved it.)

Since then I've been like, "As God is my witness I'll never be bookless again!"

have a super day
 
Today, it's back up to 80 deg f... I would have gone out but my back is still hurting, still having to put the heat pad on it... I did walk around the garden earlier because walking eases the pain, and I did think to go into town and have my nails done, and pick up some parcels which I ordered from a store , but the driving will just make the pain worse.. walking fine, driving not good.. ..so I'll see what tomorrow brings
However I did feel totally overwhelmingly tired around 12.30... so I went for a sleep and slept for an hour and a half.. not like me to sleep during the day

I got a delivery today .. Most of you are aware that I journal every day..so I get through notebooks at a rate of knots and they're not cheap.. because I like really nice ones.. I saw the leather bound A5 notebooks on AliExpress for a fraction of the price I could get them in the shops.. so without too much expectation I ordered them... it does take a long time for delivery but my goodness it's worth it.. these leather bound notebooks with cream coloured pages... are just beautiful.. bound in red and Royal Blue leather , I wouldn't be able to buy them for less than £30 each here in the shops , so I'm delighted :D

Since today is our anniversary, we are thinking of going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. It's very close by....so we don't need to drive all of the way into town. It's a newer place, and we have been there for Dio's 🐐 b-day and one other time. The place is not fancy (not even close to being fancy!!!! 😂), but it's clean, the food is good, the portions are big, and it's not expensive. Plus, they have "Gringo Food" for Dio 🐐. He will probably get a hamburger 🍔, I'll have a Quesadilla.

Have a Lovely Day

Yesterday I went on a sailboat ride. It was very bland, the day was gray with a few sprinkles, there was very little wind, most of the adults were drinking alcohol, there was a family with kids next to me and I felt like I was trapped in a car trip with children ('I'm hungry!', 'I saw the plane first!', 'Play the quiet game again?!', 'Are we almost back yet?!'), and the captain (young guy) was looking at his phone a lot and let a little kid steer (though that was really cute). Also I kept worrying that the boom would hit someone in the head (I would never want to be responsible for taking a group of drinking John Q Public out on a sailboat).

Going to Honda dealer to purchase a new car. However, may not get the colour choice (red) we want, as will order a 2021 model. I hope we aren't stuck with black, or white. May have to bite the bullet and accept anything though :(

We're giving our 3 yr. old lease car to daughter and SIL (we bought it out), as their car is 16 yrs. old. We wanted to do this, like my in-laws did for us.

I have always refused white cars... I've had various reds and blues mainly and I currently have a Black one, I'll never choose a Black one again, it shows up every little mark...

No the boat belongs to my husband, we've been separated for 14 months.. I haven't used it.. why do you ask ?

I was just curious. Reminded that you had a boat from pix you'd posted a while back when you posted pix you took the other day, then couldn't remember what those boats are called.
 
I am HOME after a grueling weekend… uniform replaced with soft yoga pants, a comfy top and bare feet…. Resting on the couch with the heating pad on my knee. Books to savor, or maybe watch a movie.

if I am expected to leave the house tonight, it better involve broken bones or fire, that’s all I gotta say!
 
Well .. to make a long story short - we may be looking into leasing (not purchasing as I mistakenly wrote earlier) either a VW or Toyota. After giving Honda 19 years of business, they aren't offering any kind of deal that we're satisfied with. Their loss. Did feel sorry for the salesman though. Not his fault.
 
Yesterday, I managed to pull something in my right lower back. Probably a muscle. Every day, I awaken with new aches, but this is good (except when something is pulled) because it means my muscles are working again.

I threw away a full 13-gallon trash bag of spices and herbs yesterday. Most had expiration dates from 2011 to 2018. I will replace them within a week. There is no garlic in the house, and the salt was a solid block.

I did more than that, of course, because except for short breaks, I never stop doing something. This is good for me. No matter what I am doing, I am fantasizing about dead mice and a mouse-free existence.

Today, Cousin and Son go to the senior center for lunch. The state is sending someone to speak about CBD, and catering lunch. Amazing to Cousin, but I am not the least bit interested in CBD or listening to anyone, any time, anywhere. I want to enjoy the "sound of silence" - and when I have that opportunity, I'm asleep and don't realize it.

Whoops. Gotta go.
