First thing I did this morning which was really about noon was I picked up my crippled friends prescription. I then went over to where he was staying and dropped them off.

He then asked me (almost begged me) "Hey please go get some food for me" and seeing that well it wasn't going to really kill me to do that I went over to Safeway and bought a bunch of canned soups.

He had given me his EBT card and PIN number so I could purchase everything, plus he wanted some cash back so I got everything except I had forgotten cigarettes.

I then had to head up to my post office box in Woodland Washington and I got the mail came back to my safe Park. Then I looked at my phone and realized I had forgotten the cigarettes and forgotten to give him back the card.

So I had to run back out go and purchase the cigarettes and drop them back off so he was taking care of. I then was back at my safe Park when I got notified that one gentleman who was selling propane tanks was waiting.

Now these were said to be $25 a piece or two for $40 and I of course being a man of good value wanted four that way it was $80 so I get there and he's got them.

You only had to look at them once to realize number one that they were brand new and number two the price was a third of retail. Yes there's probably a good possibility they were stolen.

I took a good long look said "Here's your money"

😈😱😈😱


And then loaded them in my van and took off yeah I probably was helping out a criminal enterprise but considering my last dealings with the company emblazoned on those propane tanks was rather unpleasant and personally repulsive. So I'm not too sorry.

Haven't been well. Terrible body aches especially in the legs. Stuffed up head and chest. Might be the flu. I texted my neighbor friend and she offered to get me groceries or dog food. I am touched by that. She is so sweet.

My doctor prescribed antibiotics for sinus and lungs. It wasn't until after I spoke with my doctor that I got the body aches and pains. I may message my doctor if these awful body aches don't go away. I've taken Ibuprofen for them and it helps some.

Have you tested for Covid?
 
Terrible weather today, cold with snow/sleet showers. Mrs. L and I have been feeling rough since Monday with what seems like a bad cold. I'm feeling a bit better today, but I'm not going to venture far from the house. Hopefully our new dishwasher will be delivered this afternoon.

Since we returned from our little break, I've been bombarded with mail about where to go / where to stay on my next holiday. Please give me a chance to get over the last one!
 
Wishing I'd had an act to get together at 3am when I was awake already. Instead I just lay in bed waiting for 4 am.

I don't know anymore what day it is. Wish I could go back to the fixed schedule I was promised when I accepted the job so I'd at least know if it's Tuesday or Saturday or whenever.

Very, very warm here this morning at 61. Supposed to break another record here today.

hope you feel better soon, it does sound like it's more than a Cold...
 
It's a White-out this morning here... Ice everywhere... temps are around 37 deg, 2 deg C...

No plans as yet for today.. think I'll probably stay home. I'm waiting for a book to be delivered today.. and I think I'll put anti-freeze in the car.. and turn the mattress today as well...

My decorations are all up.. just contacted a company whose been fobbing me off with excuses about a purchase which hasn't arrived.. waiting for another excuse from them as to why this item can't be delivered, and if I get one I'm going to do a Credit card chargeback
 
This morning I have to call and cancel the interview I had with the woman who wanted the job of being my aide. On the phone I asked her if she smoked because I could tell she did (or had) by her voice. She said she did but only two during her work day at her other job. I should have said never mind right then. Now that I have a had a chance to think about it, I think it would end up being a nightmare for me. I cannot tolerate the odor of smoke on a person. It makes my eyes water and I get horribly stuffed up and sometimes get a headache. So why bother?

My water delivery is coming today. I went two months without it because my dispenser had leaked. I had an unopened large bottle sitting here that I could not use. So I bought one of those pumps that is USB charged. Works great so I have set up my delivery again. It is worth the money to me to get it delivered. Too hard getting it from the store and then bringing it up here.

Other than that I will vacuum and clean the bathroom today. Going through another pile of papers.
 
Yesterday I took my dog to the vet and finalized the changeover of company for my medicare supplemental insurance. Received an Amazon order for the Rose Care fertilizer that I use on my Drift roses...it was on sale so I ordered enough for a year, applied some on the roses as the leaves were turning yellow. Going to be another warm day here, nothing special planned.

Today I reviewed and esigned my way through a 91 page document for purchasing the condo/getting a mortgage. Not sure what could possibly be left to sign at the closing on Friday. Grossed out by the mortgage company referring to real signing this Friday as "wet signing". I mean, ewww, couldn't they call it 'ink' signing instead.

Since there had been snafus of the condo-seller's that weren't resolved until yesterday and the hotel manager was out sick yesterday, I hadn't paid to extend my hotel stay (because until yesterday I had not known whether I would need to stay a couple days or a couple weeks more), so two hotel clerks showed up at my room at 10 AM this morning to remind me today was my checkout day. Luckily I'd asked the office last night to leave a message for the manager that I needed to extend my stay for three more days, so even tho she was still out sick they were amenable to contacting her to find out what special rate she was willing to give me. She allowed the lowest daily normal rate and was willing to not charge the pet fees for the additional days. Whew, still $20 a day more than the awesome special price I'd been paying, but a lot better than having to pay the full regular rate.

Then I had Fidelity wire my downpayment to the settlement company and I looked sadly at the remaining balance (made sadder by the stock market nose diving the past couple days).

After that I had to go talk to the store that should deliver me a bed on Friday at my new condo. Somehow they'd increased the price of the adjustable frame and added the cost of an extended 10 yr warranty on the frame motor, so I had to take in my receipt from the Thanksgiving/Black Friday sale when I'd put the bed on layaway, and get the extra warranty removed and the item price adjusted back to where it should be (tho still $14 more than I was quoted, but the guy today showed me that the computer system would not let him reduce the price any further, and since the computer system was down the day I'd put the bed on layaway, I decided I could accept paying the extra $14. Also he had to get past a red 'low profit' warning message, so maybe that is why someone had tried to add the warranty. Hope today's guy doesn't get in trouble, he only started working there this week, and at one point turned the keyboard over to me when he couldn't figure out how to fill in part of the order).

I'm excited to be getting an adjustable bed frame, because the past few months if I drink a lot at bedtime it feels like fluid will slosh up my esophagus when I lay flat, so now I'll be able to just push a button to raise the head of the mattress a little when needed. Also the feet part can be raised, tho I hope I won't need that, but at the speed at which my body has been deteriorating no doubt I'll soon find that feature useful.

Then I completed my afternoon by going for a walk as soon as the rain let up (& rescued two stranded earthworms).

I think you’ll love the adjustable bed you’re getting……have had one for years, and love it……you put it into any position that you want or need.
Congratulations on your new home……sounds like you’ll be very happy there.
 
Went to Costco Business Center yesterday and got everything except eggs. Believe it or don't, they were completely sold out of 2 dozen and 5 dozen sets of eggs. Only had 15 dozen and larger quantities available. Sigh... Will be going out today to get eggs, I guess.

Baby grandson is sick with a cold so his mom is staying home, meaning no babysitting for me today. Believe me, I'll put the day off to good use. Between business supply chain headaches that require tremendous amounts of research and attention, and being unable to bake while he's here, I'm way behind on my holiday schedule this year.

crikey when did you get to be 78 ?.. those years went by fast !! 😲 My ex husband has all those things.. he's only 65... he got Prostate cancer and had it all removed, but is struggling with the recovery... not helped because his breathing due to COPD is bad.. he's not on Oxygen in the daytime but he needs it to sleep all night.. he doesn't drink now.. not for many years and even then he was a social drinker.. at east he was when we were married, can't speak for the later years , but because of the difficulty breathing he finds it hard to be able to eat a full meal .. so his weight is severely compromised now.. .. and just climbing one set of stairs has him so out of breath he has to stop for a few minutes before attempting the climb down..

This is a guy who was the heartbeat of the neighbourhood when we were teens....

What I'm saying M.. is really you have to try and do what is going to help you in the next few years.. don't make things worse by not following Medical advice.. 🤗
 
I have to go out again to deliver vouchers to the food bank. They're only open certain days, so I couldn't drop them off yesterday. I don't know if I'll have to wait in line or not. Maybe I can find a way around it (e.g., deliver them to the sponsoring organization).

Yesterday, the doctor said the feeling in my back was probably in the muscles, and I should do some stretches. I stretch for 15 minutes every day, so it's not that.

After 2 doctor visits and one prescription for (possible) UTI, now I'm supposed to go to the lab tomorrow, and then get an ultrasound -- probably next week.

I was referred for an ultrasound earlier, but the doctor's receptionist failed to record my phone number correctly. Just one of many things that can go wrong.

Looking further down the line, more things could go wrong. Such as (as has been discussed in this forum), not having someone to drive you or "stay with you."

I don't want to be going for appointments and tests for the rest of my life. If my problem can't be resolved easily (e.g., with antibiotics), I give up. I have nothing/no one to live for, and my days are numbered anyway.
