What are you doing today?

[Remy]

My stepfather's swivel chair broke and he had it hauled away. It's the only chair he had so he's been sitting on some folding chair for two weeks. Apparently he can't go to the furniture store by himself so today I'm going to take him

Total waste of my morning and I admit to resenting it. I know those furniture sales people are worse than sharks but he could go on his own.

 

[Remy]

Lovely, sunny 47 * will get into the 60s* today.
And here I sit.

I should make a list of things I want / need today,, each day.
I see outdoor things that need done,, guess I'll tackle some after rest of morning routine is done.

First off wander out to get the mail.

I'd sure rather be in your area of the world.

 

[Aneeda72]

Making tonight's dinner. Pork chops, potatoes Au Gratin and ham flavored green beans. That and watching older movies.

I thought about buying some pork chops, still thinking about it. Don’t want to do any, well, rash.

 

[Aneeda72]

It's still very early, but The Hovel is on the opposite side of the house and at ground level from DD/DSIL's upstairs bedroom. I could vacuum.

Our I could take a shower and blue my hair.

Or I could just sit on my como se llama and fiddle around on the laptop.

Suggestions?

Blue your hair? You mean electric blue? I actually think shocking pink hair is the best. Wakes you right up when you see a person with shocking pink hair, especially when that person is male.

Doing some nice for someone is not a total waste of your morning. Doing something nice for someone, even though you resent it, brings greater peace to the universe. And when he dies you can at least tell yourself you brought comfort to him in his later years-a nice chair is a lifesaver.

 

[Aneeda72]

I feel like crap. Might as well feed the dog and then attempt to walk if I ever feel up to it. Ugh, just ugh.

 

[Aneeda72]

Let the dog out of her crate, she threw up on the carpet. . Put her out, she won’t eat, not unusual. I already ate and did the dishes. Put the towels in the washer. Put the dog away after cleaning up after her. Took the trash out. Tried to walk.

Getting my steps on today will be a challenge . Resting again. Dang it.

 

[Georgiagranny]

@Aneeda72 It won't turn any color but blue. I dunno why. Anyway, it's been not quite electric blue, but blue for a few years now. Without the blue, it would be white.

After DS brings my patio chairs, I'm gonna take a nap.

 

[katlupe]

I have to go to my Lymphedema therapy appointment today. Sonny is picking me up in about an hour. Probably go out to eat since we will be in Binghamton (big city compared to where I live now, but my hometown actually). Then pick up some groceries because I am out of people food today instead of bunny food. I wish I could feel excitement or enthusiasm about going somewhere but I dread going anywhere.

 

[Bella]

I am off for what I hope will be a good peaceful sleep. I feel bad that I think that I have been a difficult unkind person here. I have spent a lot of time in tears today thinking over things I have done. It is not a pleasant thing to go back an look at your words. I gained a lot of insight but in the same moment I see the words as true.

I am just tired. Truth be told I have needed a good cry, I have been dead in my soul I could not even cry, maybe this is good.

sitting on the front porch, in the dark, watching the cars go, wondering if i should just go lay down in the street. dont worry I wont do it. I am not trying to cause a problem for an child, My neighborhood is named for the school that is 4 homes away.

@Blessed From your post here, https://www.seniorforums.com/threads/grief-anxiety-fear-and-panic.75254/, I understand you've been feeling overwhelmed and having a difficult time lately.

You're referring to the "Senior Dating" thread. When you say you see your words as true, but you know they were unkind. You also know there's a way to express your thoughts and feelings without being hurtful and unkind. Please don't beat yourself up about it. There's no need to throw yourself under a bus. You're a good person, and you always have another opportunity to be more thoughtful when expressing yourself.

I consider you a friend and hope that your feelings of grief and anxiety abate soon. I empathize because I know where you're coming from.

oh blessed, you weren't unkind, you spoke your truth... don't get upset to the point of tears over anything on here.. we are... in the sainted words of @Georgiagranny Invisipeeps...

We may be "Invisipeeps" online, but our words are not. Even the unkind words you may see as "truth" that are deleted have been seen by others. Just because they have been deleted from the page doesn't mean that they've been erased from the minds of those who have witnessed them. It's always prudent to choose your words carefully so you don't later regret them.

Just did my second Rehab PT went well, the Therapist said I was already pretty much doing what he expected to be released. Only exception is I can't walk as fast as they would like without support, but I can walk without any support. Still mostly using the walker for safety, legs a little shaky. They'll try and put a plan together tomorrow, he was pretty sure I could be out soon. Then transferred to outpatient PT, living home will be better for sure. I am happy, the original forecast was 3 weeks here...

Oh, and no need for opioid painkillers since the morning after, Tylenol seems to be working fine. Though another one of those morphine shots would be fun, LOL

Not as easy to post on the forum from here as home.

Absolutely better at home. You're doing a fine job in the recovery department! So are you going to enter the Boston Marathon or the Peachtree Road Race? Or both?

 

[hollydolly]

Right now I'm doing an electronic battle with the estranged husband... I got home today to find my Video ring doorbell had stopped working, wouldn't let me sign in to the app, so I text him ( and believe me I don't want to be texting him).. and ask for the password and details.. he reads the text, and makes me wait 2 hours before replying.. then sends me the details. I log in with them.. but Ring.com send a Verification code, and of course it;s gone to his phone because the log in details are in HIS name .. and I get only 10 minutes to use the code, before they send another one.. but of course the O/h is ignoring my pleas to send the code to me within the given time..

 

[hollydolly]

Today I posted the parcel back to the Ebay seller who sent me the dodgy electronic item.. then picked up my meds from the Pharmacy, which is doing a Covid walk-in.. I was going to have it done there and then, even tho' I have an appointment elsewhere for it next week.. but when I looked there was a huge queue, so I didn't wait..

Drove to the next town , nearest place for a car wash, only to find it was out of order.. next nearest town was 15 miles further north, so I drove there.. couldn't believe it when that was out of order as well.. .. and a car was actually stuck inside with the brushes still jammed against the car.. I've never seen that before, they were pressing lots of Giant button trying to get the brushes open..

.. so in essence I drove a round trip of 40 miles for nuttin'..

Anyway popped into Costco and got a really nice padded winter jacket DKNY.. in petrol Blue/green... .. ..cost about £55.. should last me quite a few winters..

I already have a winter coat.. and a Wax jacket.. but I also have 3 coats that I've had for about 5 years so now they can go to be donated, there's plenty of wear left in them..

Returning parts bought for refrigerator ice dispenser repair. Once I had the new parts I was able to figure out why the original failed. A little super glue solved the issue. Already had super glue so cost to fix was $0.00.

Just came back from a short walk in the park which has nearly turned into a skating arena.
Lots of leaves everywhere which are sodden wet and turning slimy with all the rain lately.
Anyway, yours truly had several episodes of slipping and sliding in various places, but I managed to stay upright, is that good, or what?
So far, it's not the kind of autumn that I like, not the wonderful display of colour, just grey and bleak, so perhaps tomorrow I'll pad myself up with cushions and have another jaunt around the park, maybe the sun will appear.

For some reason, it seems like the colors are slow to arrive this year. I haven't given up hope that they will still make an appearance.

In the mean time, I'm loving my walks in this beautiful weather!

I hope it was a nice day for a drive!

 

[Trila]

Wish I could be there and take a walk with you. Find a nice sit down for a cup of tea and a crumpet with butter and jam. Have a great day!

Oooh! Count me in!

Good people see their mistakes, learn from them....and become better people. You @Blessed are "good people"! Hugs to you!

 

[Sassycakes]

Thank God my husband just went to the store. As soon as he left I shut off the TV. All morning he watched CNN and MSNBC. I heard enough crap about Politics so now I can have peace and quiet until he returns!

 

[Trila]

Crying can be good so that you're not holding it in. Are you done now? Good! It's time to be happy!

it is a beautiful sunny day...

Without a doubt: fiddle!
