LOL @hollydolly "we ate Al Fresco" makes it sound like Al was on the menu. That Fresco family...honestly! The whole family is like that and will stop at nothing for attention.

A heads up...when you start purging in that closet, don't mistakenly toss the new Merino wool sweater in the donation bag.

My proactivated laundry is in the dryer, and the next load is swishing.

Naptime.
 
Well no sweaters will be going into the Donation bag... so I can discount making that Booboo... talking of Donations.. I cleared out my store cupboard of all canned food and took them with me this morning to drop off at the food bank. I figured that some people's needs are greater than mine , I have the option of buying more to replace them.. others do not, sadly, and as I was in the position to the point of starvation when I was much younger, and there was no food banks then.. I know exactly how it feels to go to bed hungry and get up feeling the same way the next day and the day after.. !!

Pulling out, sorting out, throwing out and packing up all my stuff from my rental.... going to squeeze it all in the car in preparation for heading home tomorrow. Good thing the only furniture I have to take with me is the fold-up yard chair and table I purchased recently.

I've enjoyed the little house I've stayed in while in Americus but am ready to get back to my own abode (and yard...definitely the yard) and get settled back in.

My middle son, who loves to cook and hates change has kinda taken over the kitchen. I will--gently at first--try to reinstate myself in my own domain but I have a feeling there will be more than one "Come to Jesus meeting" before all's said and done. He also is a night owl who has a penchant for starting to saute onions and garlic/cook at about 8:30 pm, just as I am winding down and the smell is directed straight to my bedroom via the convenient air ducts. OY 🎶 "There'll be some changes made...."🎶

why is your garden waste and glass not collected ? :unsure: glas goes in our normal Blue recycling bin along with cardboard etc.. and that's collected the same way our Black bin ( general refuse) is... our garden waste is seperate, and for the last 2 years we've had to pay an annual fee for the dustmen to collect that... I haven't a clue why, suddenly out of 3 bins we have to pay to have one collected when we already pay for waste collection from our Council Tax..

That's a good question, however may daughter is usually keen the point out that I pay less in council tax than I would in England, and as you point out, you have to pay extra to have your garden waste collected.. The annoying thing is that the council then have to pay a private company to collect the garden waste from them. This is then composted and sold back to gardeners and growers.
I don't mind dumping the glass as the 'bottle bank' is quite close.

Vim and Vigour - I haven't heard that one for years..

Every place has a different system. It can get quite confusing if you move often!

Where I live now, I have to take my recyclables to the recycling center myself. Those who don't have cars just put their recyclables in the garbage.

The homeowner neighbor on one side burns his yard waste. The one on the other side puts her yard waste in our apartment garbage bin ☹.

Going to go get a couple of needles, a port, and a chemical cocktail injected in my spine this afternoon. It's a good day for it, too....my back is wrecked from the weekend with Paxton and The Littles.

I don't think I could cross my fingers any tighter.

I wish you the best. Anxiety may be contributing to your aches and pains. Keeping you in my prayers.

Yanno that saying about that which does not kill us makes us stronger? Welp. I'm tired of being made stronger. I'm old. I don't need to be made stronger; I'm plenty strong enough. I just wanna enjoy stuff and rest a bunch. P*ss on that stronger cr@p. So there.

Maybe I'll go out and deadhead some flowers and water the chrysanthemum and the petunia and the dipladenia. Then I'll sit a while and contemplate my navel or something.

You're one of the most vibrant people, GG. Maybe it's time for you to just take care of you!

How far do you have to drive tomorrow , CS ?
 
Housework.

Working on my remaining photos, 90% of them have been put in albums and distributed to my children-this is what I was doing while on “vacation” from the forum. The forum took a lot of my time, because everyone is so interesting.

The rest of my photos are the really old ones which I am scanning and putting on ancestry or recent ones of the great granddaughter. The great granddaughter one on on my phone and some of them I will print and frame, but not many.

Have not yet decided who gets the originals but leaning towards my nephew since he “bears” the family name.
 
So I did get mums and Starbucks. I was going to buy one mum, but three begged to follow me home. They've been repotted and artfully arranged in the garden where I can best admire them from my favorite patio chair.

Then...then...I vacuumed! Yup. Vacuumed. That cannister had a whole lotta Maggiecat fur and debris that I've carried in from the garden on the bottom of my shoes. A whole lotta...

My day is complete. And I got so warm (yes! warm) that I had to take off the flannel shirt that was over my t-shirt. Yup. I finally got warm.

@Aneeda Please come to my house and label all the pix and put them in albums. Every year I say it's "winter work" and every year it doesn't get done.

So...has everybody had their procedures? Are we all present and accounted for?

@CS Are you home yet?

ETA: Wait. CS, you're not leaving until tomorrow! Duh. Of course you're not home yet.

@Murrmurr I assumed your procedure was outpatient. You okay?

@hawkdon Hope you're able to get a good night's sleep and that when you get there tomorrow morning, they give you meds to help you relax.

Ha ha... 😊 This is a man I've run into when I've gone to the fruit farm. We've said hello and talked after shopping a few times, and this time he walked me to my car and asked if I'd like to continue our conversation over a cup of coffee. 😳 I thought about it for a few seconds and said yes.

This is unusual for me because I don't typically go anywhere with men I really don't know and I usually only drink coffee in the morning, but wth. Why not? I'm a big girl and can take care of myself. So, we drove into town separately and met in the coffee shop. We sat, drank our coffee, and had a nice conversation. We're going to do it again next week. That's all for now. 😉
