Went over to work. Parking lot only. Still testing positive for covid. Ack. I'm mad, tired of being cooped up. The infection control person (who was of coarse out in the parking lot smoking when she couldn't have been at work that long) stated I can go back to work Friday since it's day 10 without testing. Wish she had said Saturday. Actually I should have said I'd come back Saturday but I never think to advocate for myself.

I want to quit working so bad. I'm tired of being around and seeing these people.
 
Well, just for the heck of it I fell down in the
front yard again, just now....but the yard is harder than
last time, frozen, and of course the firemen came and got
me up, again, they know me well by now....but it is cold
out there......:confused:
 

@Remy Is retirement far, far away?

@hawkdon Geez, could you at least fall into a big pile of leaves or a sNOwbank?

Listen up, y'all. I dusted. Yup. Sure did. Dusted. I'm probably good to go until Valentine's Day?

And vacuumed.

Pie is out of the oven.

Dishes have been washed, dried, put away.

Laundry is done and hung up or folded and put away.

I feel positively virtuous. And @NorthernLight My reward is banana pudding that DD made and just brought over.

Yanno that one favorite saucepan we all have? The one that's just the right size? Mine is too big to be called a saucepan and too small to be called a pot. That's the one that got scorched :mad: I hope it can be saved.

Pumpkin pie is in the oven.

What's left to do? Um. Shift laundry. Fold the dry stuff. Then...dust and vacuum. I'm gonna dust and vacuum. Really I am!

Hawky...why ?.. and how ?.. have you worked out yet what's causing the falls ? are you hurt ?..did you wait long to be picked up ?

@Jules I've scorched pans before but not so bad that I couldn't just scour them. I asked Ms. Google, that housekeeper extraordinaire. She said sprinkle the pan with baking soda so I did. I'll let it be for a while and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll try your method.

Dry clothes hung up and others in the basket while the rest of the stuff dries. In the meantime...wait for it...are you ready?...dusting! Yup. Dusting!Then vacuuming.

Baking soda...didn't work. Even added some lemon? (must have read that somewhere) Ended up having to throw away my perfectly now damaged sauce pan. :(

Hope you have better luck!

A quick pop in. Still have horrible pain, called cardiologist, got appointment for tomorrow as something is wrong they say. You think? 🙄

So have not been sleeping, and a midnight call with Joey on the phone, that they called the paramedics for him. Chest pain, trouble breathing, throwing up, stomach in agony. Just like October last year when he had Covid paramedics take him to hospital and dump him there. Staff never shows up. This folks, is why I do not own a gun.

His white blood cell count is very high. He has a bad infection somewhere. His heart rate was fast. His oxygen low. They did a cat scan of his tummy. They attempted a rectal exam, but he was uncooperative. They did find his rectum was filled with blood, a lot of red blood. But they were unable to determine a cause due to his not being cooperative.

When they do the endoscopy they will do a more complete rectal exam. And yes, I am wondering if something very bad has happened to him. He will also have a colonoscopy and other tests.

Amyway, won’t be on much till I am better. But if I have news about Joey I will pop back on. He looks really sick. They gave him pain meds.

On the chance that this was an injury caused by a member of staff, the hospital has placed a camera in his room for his safety. They are working on controlling the bleeding and he will have a colonoscopy tomorrow morning

Oh no (((Don))). I hope you're ok. Do you have a cane? Get one, if not. Did you feel dizzy or what happened?

It's so easy to trip over something. Be well, my friend.

It's 10 am on a Friday... just like yesterday or the day before or the day before that... but wait!
TODAY some excitement! I am having a gas insert placed into my wood burning fireplace. I'm sure "we" have many opinions here about what is better to burn but I am soooooo looking forward to not having to storing wood, chopping my own kindling, tracking wood chips, dirt and critters into my living room! With the cost of $150-250 per cord of wood here I am bowing down to the convenience of clicking a button and presto... clean fire and warmth for the damp winter here on the NW Pacific coast!

I went to see if I could refinance my vehicle, but the rates are increasing through the year 2023. So, not going to save any money that way.
 
So that extra ginger cookie I ate for @Georgiagranny earlier gave me some energy and I did choose the maybe laundry option.
Four trips to laundry room, up and down . Stripped the bed , washed and dried the duvet cover and every thing else , remade the bed and promptly fell on the floor. Near my bed so no harm done.
I should know better by now. Getting the duvet cover on alone is a big chore for me these days. Almost buttoned myself in with the duvet.:LOL: Tomorrow then, is my TV and potato chip day. I have recorded the Magpie Murders so will binge watch. There will be some napping done of course but the good thing about recordings is that you can always rewind.

Have a good evening everyone

@Mizmo Duvet covers are tools of the devil, I'm tellin' ya! I've managed to get myself tangled up in mine...it like trying to stuff 10 pounds of potatoes in a five pound sack :mad: I've invented new cuss words for that particular project...

Glad to hear I am not the only one with that problem. It is a b*tch of a job at this age. I was so exhausted I just folded up and fell down.
Next time I launder I will ask you for the cuss words ...it might help...shhhhh banner.gif
