What are you doing today?

Well, I have aspirations to do some things today but don't know if I'll get to them all. Thinking of getting a few things at the grocers, doing a load of laundry, continuing to make the birdies playlist, eating and maybe a nap or two. I don't have "normal" hours now. Hopefully I'll get to everything by tomorrow.
 
My daughter's family came yesterday. I chatted with her while making an apple cake and then dinner with her little ones. Son-in-law and hubby set up our new TV.

The sound of strong winds woke me up early (4:30) so a nap will probably be in my future today. I'll also need to sweep and mop the kitchen due to some flour and cinnamon spills during the cake making portion of our afternoon. :love:

p.s. When my boys were little, DH & I taught them to sit down on the toilet when peeing in their own or others' homes. Thank goodness my daughter & SIL taught their son the same lesson.

Unlike many of my friends, after my grandson visits the bathrooms don't stink from spattered urine. Another bonus - we've never had an issue of toilet seats being left up because the fellas in my family don't raise it. (My brother used to leave it up - can't tell you how many disgusting middle of the night "baths" I suffered through while growing up. Ugh...)

I say get out and eat .....it’s amazing to have some normality....and you can’t wear a mask when eating!

Depends on where you live if you can SAFELY get out, take you masks off, and eat.

@Furryanimal do you realize not everyone on the forum lives in your country. We are experiencing extremely high rates of the virus, over 120,000 thousand a day. Deaths are over 235,000 and climbing. I would say more, but the rules of the forum constrain me.

we are too... but I can't blame @Furryanimal for being excited to take his mask off in a cafe, after just being released from a second severe lockdown in Wales.

Here in England we're still in lockdown until December... no cafe's open

I am not blaming @Furryanimal for taking his mask off, furryanimal can do whatever Furryanimal wants. But there is a responsibility not to encourage others to do the same, IMO. Not everyone on the forum realizes they are speaking to someone in a different country.

We have 11,048,174 plus cases of the virus with 246,255 deaths; and counting. Part of the reason we are in this predicament is because many people only think only of themselves and those people refuse to wear masks, social distance, and follow simple health guidelines. Their lack of compassion and caring for others drives me crazy.

Then they whine and want treatment when they catch the virus. I am beginning to agree with my son. As the health system overloads and older people get pushed to the side, those who have been non compliant should be given medical treatment last. They chose their bed, now they can die it, my son”s opinion.

The law here says you can take your mask off in cafe or bar where you are eating and drinking.! TBF it's pretty impossible to eat and drink with a mask on!

Yup, you can take it off here as well. Obviously eating and drinking, inside a restaurant, is more important than not catching the virus. Besides the world has a surplus of people, time to lessen the load. 😂😭
 
Just had a loud discussion with the apt maintenance guy, second attempt trying to get my. toilet handle fixed right. Some wear on the old handle, which worked ok the 3 years I lived here until last Mon. Then he replaced it with a different handle, appeared cheaper and poorer quality than what was there before. , gradually got harder to flush till it quit 4 am Sat. Tank lid off since then, have to hand-flush. Went round and round today when he wanted to put the same kind back on it & I told him that was not acceptable. He said he had to talk to mgr before he can do an upgrade.
I’ve worked hard to try to educate myself about all the basic home repairs. I used to do a lot of them in past I can’t physically do now. Arthritic hands.Tired of being treated like I don’t know sh*t about how things work,what’s wrong, what is a good job, what isn’t.

This guy has history of never getting things right the first time, always have to do at least 1 callback.
 
On my mid morning walk,went down to the corner,crossed the street,put an envelope in the mailbx
I continued on my walk did a couple of blocks.I turned onto the street where my close friends,Marcia&Dave live,knocked on their door called out Marcia's name,she said'come on in'.The family dog,Aker aka 'my buddy boy'started to bark until he realized it was me,tail was wagging,bent down to hug him,he licked my nose
I had a nice visit/conversation with her,as I was walking home light snow flurries were falling,didin't stick but it was a cold outside around 40.As I was having lunch reading the NYT,in afternoon reading my book.I'll be tackling the daily NYT crossword puzzle after dinner
 
This morning I walked 3 blocks to the local 'Family Dollar' store for couple of items
On my afternoon walk,like yesterday I went over to Marcia&Dave's house because I had an article from today's NYT,thought they would like. I knocked on the door,walked in.Marcia always says to family dog Aker'look who's here'.My 'buddy boy' jumped off the sofa wagging his tail,as if he hadn't seen me in awhile-priceless
 
I took my early morning walk at 7,was a tad breezy but wasn't as cold as yesterday
This afternoon,my weekly 'road trip' with Mary,we went to Kohl's.I was looking at winter coats/turtlenecks,was going to get a xmas gift card for my friend,Alexei
What a mistake that was,one of the entrances was closed,the line to the 4 cashiers was halfway around the corner,it wasn't moving.I stood there for 10min gave up,walked out .Mary felt bad,told her 'its not your fault'.I'll try again next wk,come in the morning which I usually do
After we got home,took a walk around the block to clear my head
 
This morning as usual,I called the Canopy of Neighbor members on my list to see how they are,to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving
Afterwards,my friend Mary&I went on a 'road trip' to Target,needed a couple of things.We decided to go today instead of mid week. We both think on Weds,Gov Cuomo is going to announce the change of Covid zone color to RED,because we've had an upsurge of Covid cases in recent weeks. At present we are in Orange zone
After lunch&nap,went for a walk counted 7 people not wearing masks,just shook my head thinking' what a fool believes'
 
I have done some cleaning and put out my few little Christmas decorations. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving but I need a little boost of Christmas spirit this year more than ever.

Next a shower and a quick trip to the grocery store.

When I get home I want to box up a few odds and ends of holiday dishes and decorations that I really don't need or use. Better to send them to the charity shop than to keep them boxed up in the closet.
 
I took my early walk around 6:45,it was still a bit dark out was wearing my yellow reflector vest,temps in the 40's
Shortly,I'll be going over to see my close friends,Marcia&Dave who live 2 blocks away for our weekly chat.They are my 'bflo family' really haven't had a chance to talk to see them during Thanksgiving I always wear my mask when I come into their house,to see and my fav dog'Aker my 'buddy boy'
My next door neighbor,Pat gave me as birthday gift,a gift card from our local co-op store,I'll be heading there today as well
 
Been up for a while, getting caught up here... Just finished breakfast, think I am going to finish a wall that I cut out... Have to make a little area of the wall to hide electrical stuff...six inches down from the ceiling. Have to go down to the garage to get my Rip Saw, and screw gun... So, that's about all I am doing today I think...

Hope YOU all have a wonderful day... and God Bless YOU all
Mike
