Thanks AnnieA...we've had these hanging planters ever since we built this big old joint in '85.
Actually, they aren't hard to maintain. Watering every two weeks and an occasional sticking in plant grow sticks keeps them pretty happy. I take starts off some of the strong stems and stick them in water for a couple months, then replant a planter or two that might need it.

Get a lot of comments from first time visitors and repairmen, of course...lol.
 

This morning we're going to go and look at electric wheelchairs/mobility scooters for me and after lunch we're going to the Swedish National Federation for the Blind for my GF to see about getting lessons to learn Braille and lessons in how to use a white cane as she now needs both. Taking a disabled taxi as I can't drive because I'm still in the neck and back brace

what an exhausting day you've got ahead of you... hope it's not too painful... :eek:
 

Today.......
Trying to make sense of my broken butt.
I posted before......back in beginning of January......bending over drying up after my shower, heard a crack.....pain ever since on the left side bottom.
It was getting better.....
Since a couple days ago, i was bending over, scrubbing the bottom part of the shower.....now my broken butt has moved over to my left side bottom.......CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!
Got muscle relaxants yesterday, not sure they're helping.
Have an appointment with my doctor on Monday for the usual tests, etc.....see what he has to say.
So will continue pouting about my butt......it's a full time job.

My mother is going blind and I tried to find an organization to help her, but due to Covid they were shut down. It’s frustrating. She lives in a different state and my brother helps her out, but he let his diabetes get bad and now he has sight issues as well. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Losing my sight has always been my biggest fear because I am afraid of the dark. I almost never go out at night. I have tumors on my left eye removed, but I can’t let them operate on the right eye for them, cause you can go blind if the surgery goes wrong. Course you can go blind if you don’t have the surgery. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is your girlfriend doing ok or is she frightened? I would be so scared. You don’t have to answer. My mother isn’t scared, just frustrated. My brother using his sight problems as an excuse for doing less apparently but he’s not scared either. His sight is still correctable with glasses.

I thought you went in for it already. I wonder if it’s your SI joints. I have never met a muscle relaxant that like me. I refuse to take them. They literally make me crazy.
 
Today's big job is trying to figure out meals for the next several days, having made classic beef stroganoff yesterday, and making a run to the market for ingredients not at hand. Frozen leftovers will definitely be part of the next rotation. We're thankful to only have this as a to-do issue.
 
Bought strawberries yesterday so had strawberries on my pancake-yummy. Also bought asparagus, going to make spinach, asparagus, tomato, Alfredo spaghetti for lunch. My husband ate four tuna fish sandwiches, that I saw, yesterday. Pretty sure there is hardly any tuna fish left. 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
Yesterday rearranged my bedroom, and some of the living room as I thought I would get my stimulus money. IRS said they sent it, bank says they don’t have it. 😭. I was going to go shopping, now I am just very very sad. No shopping for me. ☹️

Husband put my bedroom door back on my bedroom. We had taken it off and covered the entrance way with curtains because I thought I would be able to get a barn door this summer for it. That is not happening due to money and other pressing repairs, so door it back on.

I see the ortho surgeon today to once again discuss my needed hip surgery, and get my once a year knee X-rays. I need to get going and take my walk. Apparently I do not want to move 😂
 
Remaking a batch of soup. Fall through spring I make huge pots to freeze for DH’s lunches. Yesterday I’d soaked the beans, added some canned tomatoes and some of the ingredients and then tasted it. Beyond bitter. After trying to take the bite off, even DH agreed it couldn’t be salvaged. I think the issue must have been the teaspoon of celery seeds I’d added because of the cabbage I was adding at the end. I use these in my coleslaw and there’s never been an issue. At least I still have some of the ingredients chopped up.

That’s two absolute culinary failures in two weeks. I don’t normally have one per decade.

I wonder if a bit of sugar would have cut the bitterness.
 
That storm system that is moving across the South is supposed to hit this area today. Schools have already been closed because of expected high winds and possible tornados. I spent time getting our yard and patio ready. Our umbrella on the patio comes down easy enough, but getting it back up is a struggle. Having seen one tornado "up close and personal", they don't have to tell me twice to get ready.
