In another place one of our American friends-quite seriously -asked for a beans on toast recipe,
so i said toast and butter bread.Heat beans.Put on toast.
But apparently people put all sorts of things on the beans.Sacrilege!:D
 

I’ve taken to getting up and out earlier than usual to avoid the crowds, so this morning found me in my favourite park, drinking coffee and reading my newspaper in the sunshine at 10am, picked up some shopping on the way home and just checking out the forums before a snack and heading off to meet a friend in her lunch break

Enjoy your day all ;)
 

Cooking a new recipe for a chicken, zucchini and potato soup which is thick and creamy and I hope as tasty as it looks. And the usual cleaning chores.
 
Oh, it just gets better and better (sarcasm alert).

I get a call this morning. The Spousal Equivalent thinks he's having a heart attack and is carted off to the hospital.

I get my sister to take over with mom, throw some stuff in the car and drive 8 hours in the rain (compliments of Tropical Storm Eta) to come home.

Luckily, it wasn't a heart attack, it was his gall bladder which is going bye-bye as i type this.

I'll get him out tomorrow, take care of him for a few days and then it's back to Misery Manor.

Oh, and his son's wife has Covid.

Isn't it time for 2020 to be over? I can't take much more excitement.

It's not so much my mom as it is my mom's situation.

She's dying. She's in pain. She vomits for hours. It's the trips to the ER. She wants to die at home, so we have Hospice in charge. They're wonderful but they're not there 24 hours a day. I am or my sister is. This month I'm the primary caregiver with an hour or so of respite a day.

Mom's balky about her meds. "Oh, that won't work!" "How do you know? You've only tried it once." "Well, I don't like it!" Etc, etc.


One expert says she has a month, another says it could go on for a while. She wants to go but I don't think she can let go. I can't stand seeing her suffering like this.

So sorry I misunderstood, I hope she has a peaceful passing, it is all any of us can ask for.

Evenin. Things continue to get worse and we are in serious danger of being overwhelmed. We have 6 fellow workers out with the virus. Being in environmental services is just as bad as direct care. We got raises recently for working so diligently. I spend most of my time exhausted but I keep on goin.

I been workin various shifts so I never know when I'm goin to be around. I hope y'all are doin alright and holdin up under pressure. I hate that I can't be here more to visit. Night y'all.
 
I went on my early walk this morning around 6:45,doubt I'll be able to take any more walks today because of the high wind warning for most of WNY .
I'm thinking of washing the furniture in living rm/bedrm with Murphy's Oil Soap ,rest of day read the paper,read my book

Take good care of yourself @RiverM55
 
So far this morning, I've spoken to my daughter in Spain, and my o/h has given her some advice regard a new car she's about to buy...

We've vac'd all throughout the house.. .. emptied water out of all the decorative pot plants hanging on the trellis in the garden, after several days of torrential rain.


Struggled to get a king size duvet back into a Vacuum storage bag... ( my whole right side is out of action at the moment)

Fixed my email problems on this computer.. what a palaver.. :cautious:...

Watched as my neighbour ran everywhere trying to find their escaped dog... (finally found it after it had followed another family home)

Made some bacon sandwiches

Hubs is now working in the barn repairing some wooden shelves which have been attacked by damp

..and it's only 2.30pm :D
