What are you doing today?

My credit card popped up with a fraudulent charge and had to be cancelled. A new one is in the express mail and fortunately I have no place that I need to go to and nothing that I need to buy. It seems like this is happening pretty frequently these days and it is a nuisance.

I am sitting here with a very sore arm from a pneumonia shot that I got from the Doctor yesterday. It was the second shot in a two shot series. I don't remember the first one making my arm this sore. My blood pressure and bloodwork looked good except that I need to get a little more iron into my system. I told my wife that this calls for a good steak this evening.

On Thursday, I see the Orthopedic Doctor and review how close I may be to requiring a total hip replacement. I don't think I am quite ready yet, but it does ache at night sometimes. On Friday, I go back to the Urology Doctor and get another hormone shot to keep my PSA (and testosterone) at zero for another five months, Oh Joy! More hot flashes to follow.

It is too hot and humid to enjoy a morning walk, but weather this evening looks good.

We had the sprinkler system worked on yesterday. It had an intermittent break in the wiring which they corrected by replacing the cabling out through my grass. Sometimes I wonder if these modern conveniences like programmable watering systems are really worth. And then I think about dragging a garden hose around and I don't care for that either.

You sure have a lot going on, Pecos. I've got an appt. in a couple of days for bloodwork, flu shot and possibly pneumonia shot. I've never had a 2-part pneumonia shot, but I do recall a bit of a sore arm afterward.

Don't wait too long for the hip replacement. My husband had the op last year just before Xmas. He recuperated quickly by doing all the recommended post-op exercises.

The programmable watering systems are great. I had them in Oz .. the only time I didn't kill the plants!

Hope your new credit card arrives, pronto!
 
This doesn't seem like much.
I worked up enough nerve this morning to clean my last window outside.
Put the stupid 8ft ladder where it belongs, till spring.

Cleaned and put away the fans.

70 mile an hour winds out there, done outside till the wind goes down.

Sometimes hip pain is caused by an issue in your back.
 
Expanding on my post #528
I'm just under 5ft tall.
8ft ladder, standing on the 2nd step from the top, still have to stretch to reach top of the window.

When working in stores years ago, heights didn't bother me, used 10 and 12 foot ladders.
Must be chicken from my age........but......i do tend to be extra careful due to my knee replacements.......but i'm still chicken now.
 
Got this morning off to do some school class photography for my Wife. This afternoon I'm at the hospital for more Post-Covid physio and a counselling session.

Last night I did a photo shoot for a magazine cover - outside a local bar lit up with candles for a "Shop local" campaign.
 
I took a short early morning walk around 6:45,walked around our community garden circle twice after I watered the plants/flowers
This morning,weekly 'road trip' with friend Mary,today Walgreens.I'll be looking for a funny 50th birthday card for Jeff, he's one of the maintance guys at my church.We are good friends,but my church has not reopened yet,so I can't see him or other staff member friends
The rest of my day take a couple of walks
 
As many of you may have read on other SF threads, DH and I are in a Covid bubble with our daughter, SIL and grands. The grands go almost nowhere other than their home, sidewalk and my home. DD & SIL teach remotely and the kids go to school remotely. DD & SIL are as vigilant as we are when out in public. Always, always, always masked and socially distanced.

Well.... My grandson's BFF for the past three years is moving across the country (so sad) so DD's family told me they needed to pierce the bubble for the families to have a final farewell. Yes, they'll be masked and as socially distanced as they can, but it will be a longish visit so we will need to restart the 14 day bubble clock after it's over. (I love them for being so careful with our health.)

Therefore, all 6 of us have scheduled every possible appointment for this week. Doctor, dental, eye, and yes... haircuts. My last haircut was early January, DH's was late February.

I'm going today - will be double masked (one surgical, one cloth) so four plies, and will have spares in my purse in case a set gets wet when she sprays my hair with water to cut it.

Southern California virus rates are down dramatically so the timing worked out quite well.

It's been a very long time since I've been this excited about a haircut. Yay!
 
I went on my early walk at 6:45,it was warm for this time of yr 65,felt wonderful bit breezy After I came back watered the flowers/plants in community garden
At 9:30 I have a garden committee meeting outside in the back with other members of the group
If its not raining mid morning,I'll try to get a walk in.If not I be reading my book
 
Fasting this morning, waiting to leave for my in-clinic doctor's appointment. Blood-work overdue, and getting flu shot and maybe pneumonia shot.

It's gray out there, with rain in the forecast. Doc's office is only 20 mins. away.
 
Yesterday, started washing all the covers on the living room furniture, giving the furniture a good cleaning with the vacuum, and moving the furniture, to vacuum under there.
Was very crisp and cold out......thought it was a good job to start.
Glad i got my last window outside when i did........got too cold after that day.
Getting more sorting done for give away, donation, garbage.
Gave my foster daughter several plush blankets.
 
Been to town to the cobblers,
Drove to the beach, hoping for a walk,
But decided not to get hubby out in his wheelchair, as it looked like rain,
So he sat in car, while I had a quick walk, .....and it was quick, the heavens opened....💦☔️
Back home, lunch, now mikes napping ......
And I need to get off this iPad.....🥴🧐 jobs to do ...😣
 
Reporting back on my adventure yesterday. My stylist and I were the only ones in the salon. Both of us were masked throughout.

She added me some blonde highlights and cut my hair. (Yay!) In less than a year I've transitioned from medium brown hair to nearly platinum blonde! She blended my longer (dyed) hair with my new natural color.

Wow, what a change. Until I stopped getting it dyed in January I had no idea how little natural color I had left. No wonder it needed to be done every three weeks!

So now I'll see how it grows out from this coloring. Hubby likes it. He always did fancy Marilyn Monroe... :cool:
 
Eye doctor appointment for my usual exam and xrays to check the growths on the nerve. The appointment was supposed to be Monday but I dosed off and missed it. Husband said he forgot as well. They charge for a missed appointment 😧.

Then home again and staying off my sore hip.

Well, eye surgery is put off for another year, yay. As I told it would be different if I had to drive but can’t with my hip. Besides no place to go. The large floater I have sometimes blocks my vision but, as I said, can’t drive now anyway.
