What are you doing today?

[StarSong]

@IrisSenior, I sure hope they didn't bring any to your place.

Two of your brothers plus a sister were living in a one bedroom condo? Those must have been tight quarters.

Other posters have mentioned Canada's generous financial support of seniors who need to go into AL or other assisted housing. I hope you're able to find something quickly.

p.s. You're a good sister and your daughter is a good niece.

Today after I got rid of my headache, I joined friends for a birthday lunch
visit, then afterwards, I got a pedicure.

Went to my siblings condo and brought them here for lunch as the condo was being cleaned (again). Took them back a few hours later. With help from my daughter and the cleaners she hired it was disappointing news but I am not surprised; bed bugs everywhere - the entire one bedroom condo needs all the carpet ripped up and most if not all the furniture replaced. Sigh...we are looking into getting both brothers (one has dementia and the other is diabetic and they both smoke) into assisted living. Don't know what we will do with the sister. All are seniors.

So sorry to hear what your siblings are going through……such great concern you’re dealing with as well.
I do hope things can be taken care of asap…..for the well being of them, and piece of mind for yourself.

Next week is my city’s “bulky items” pick up week. Items must be on the curb by Monday morning. I spent some time gathering things up in the last few days and moved them to the curb a while ago. My neighbor has taken what he wanted and I notice a few other things are gone. Nice to have the extra room in the garage.

 

[MickaC]

Yep, found that out the hard way...

Oh……I forgot to tell you……your new knees are NOT bionic ……think maybe you could be rushing things a bit…..slow and steady is the best……your knees will tell you if you’re over doing, by the sounds of things, they already are.
Remember……you have nerves, muscles, tendons that have to knit back together……over exertion may cause the opposite.
And…..must remember…..you had both done at the same time, so you don’t, as they say, have the other one to lean on.
Another oh…….you never ever will be able to kneel down on your knees, again.
You’re doing fantastic……just don’t be in a hurry.

Yesterday I went on a very short hike in the woods, on a park/trail that is just a few blocks away but was totally invisible to me because it has some trees in front of the tiny parking area and no sign on the street. Would never have found it without google maps! Hard to believe they have a wooded trail squeezed in among all the traffic and congestion.


Then today I ventured downtown in Washington DC to start seeing the museums. There are so many! They are all so big! And they are free!!! Also on the weekend the Metro parking is free and it only costs $1 to ride all the way downtown (senior rate maybe). I guess I know what I'll be doing every weekend while I'm here!

Tomorrow, I'm getting an estimate for a tub-to-shower conversion. It might involve some bathroom remodeling.
Getting more estimates Wednesday.

The Sun is out! My back is feeling ok! Time to paint that front wall methinks!

Off for a stroll down the sea front first though

Great visit to the East Lancs Railway yesterday. I'll post some more pix later

Staying in today. Doing housework/laundry, etc.

Yesterday was enjoyable, visiting nephew & his wife. The 4 of us (daughter, son-in-law) and corgi Abbi
dined al fresco on their back deck. It was nice watching the blue jays, chickadees and woodpeckers at
the bird feeder while we noshed on fantastic food. Nephew's wife is a wonderful cook, and is always
trying new (and healthy) recipes. I'm up early, and still feel full from yesterday!

I’ll be with Ed, my Prince Among Men, today. Yesterday he ended up in the ER with bad pain that turned out to be his gallbladder and will have surgery today to remove it. . It’s hard watching him lie in bed, sick.

if you pray, plz say a prayer that the surgery will be a success and he will have a speedy recovery. Thanks

I remodelled our bathroom 3 years ago. New everything, shower, bathtub, toilet etc... and did the work myself (with the exception of the non-slip vinyl floor) Cost was about £1k.
Planned to go out for a walk this morning, but it started to rain. The forecast was for sunshine, but it rarely gets anything more than the day correct. I strongly suspect that someone looks out the window and updates the forecast accordingly.

You got that right, @Pinky H’s not one to lie around unless he is just *really* sick

yes my husband remodelled our bathroom himself... New Electric shower.. new flooring, whole new bathroom tiles floor to ceiling.. new sink and vanity unit with drawers, he even made the bath panel himself,.. cost a fraction of my daughters' bathroom.. but then she had to pay labour charges to builders, and installers

Doctor appointment, leaving 11am-ish by AccessARide. I booked the ride so I couldn't back out. This is the doctor I cancelled about six weeks ago due to the panic attack I had about leaving the apartment. Hoping being picked up will make it easier.

Don't mind being at the doctor's, I just don't like to go anywhere. Oh, I hope my day goes okay.

Best wishes for Ed @CinnamonSugar!
