Yesterday was one of the most frustrating days off my life. I will write about it when I have the time, and the patience, in diary section. But the control doctors have over our lives is unbelievable. Controlling doctors, controlling husband, I am ready to go postal. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But the only weapon I have is my words, and I know all the bad ones. 😉😂

Today I am less tired so started cleaning out the shed, moving stuff so I could sweep it out, and packing up stuff in the house so husband realizes I am serious about selling it after surgery which after all I have gone through to get it, it may not happen. 🤬

It's a muggy 74 this morning.
I should get weed eater fired up,, too hot for this old gal.

Have a dozen marigolds that need planted where the weeds are.

Cousin Ken pointed out a freshly shed snake skin by front porch flower bed. accck
Can' t tell if it was dangerous snake or not. :eek:

I hate snakes even the garden ones. Our neighbors at our last house had two snakes, mom and dad, under their porch. They would not “clean” them out. Every spring a new crop of snakes grew up and ravaged the neighborhood. Even a garden snakes bite can kill a small dog.

Hoe, hoe, hoe, killed many a young snake in our yard.

I planted marigolds as well. I like their bright gold color, but hate their smell. It is in the 90’s everyday here so my walking is severely limited due to the heat.
 

I've been out all day... here....at the coast.. It was hot as heck.. and despite me slathering factor 20 on myself as I always do.. I may as well have not bothered, I'm red as a lobster, very burnt. I've had to slather Aloe Vera all over myself tonight , I've got a face like a clown and my shoulders and arms are burnt, and stinging.

I don't know what went wrong.. My SPF is my best friend.. I can only imagine that it's past it's sell by date as I've not been out in this type of heat since Spain 2 years ago...

Anyway it was a fabulous day.. all the bars were open overlooking the Estuary.. we had lunch there.. , then we watched as many folks were painting up their boats in dock... and some fixin' them up in the Chandlery

Here's just a few pics from today..I'll post more tomorrow..

We stayed by the Estuary for a couple of hours before driving into the city, and wandering around the malls, and shops.. and stopped for ice cold cokes and beers.. here in the centre of town...

Today, it's very humid.. sunny, and cloudy.. but the humidity gets ya...

I'm resting after yesterdays jaunt to the coast... a lot of driving for me, cuz I drove both ways.. ..and then a lot of walking, and then sunburned despite my High SPF ...

I dunno if you guys my age or older, find you have to rest for a couple of days after a short trip or day out ...or not.. But it comes as a shock to me as someone who has always been known for having more energy than a Duracell Bunny, that lately I'm finding I'm actually winding down a lot faster after anything too energetic.. and have to take things easier afterwards for a few days ...before the energy tank is refilled and off I go again like a whirlwind

I don't mean sit home with my feet up necessarily after a hard or tiring day .. but definitely not be dashing around day after day which has always been my de facto lifestyle.... like today after yesterdays long day.. I've just sat around doing stuff on the internet.. just a couple of chores and no more .. and probably won't be ready for anything again until the weekend...

Actually I'll start a thread about this...:D
 
Yesterday I moved the scotch tape today I am trying to find where I put it 🙄. No success yet 🙁.

Saw the ortho and vented to several people so I feel better and the surgery is on as it should be.

Husband is still not speaking to me 🤔😊. Finished in the shed, watering the plants, doing laundry, packing more stuff that fall under the rarely used but need to have category. Plus I can pack winter stuff. Found the car I wanted from a flipper we sold a house to a few years back and will sell this one too. Using a realtor for our last house was a nightmare and not doing that again ever.

Finally got a small refund from our mortgage company for overpaying and will cash and spend it today. Our car has been recalled-again. Ugh, just ugh and Subaru was supposed to be such a good car.
 
Going out for lunch - most likely will just get takeout, since numbers inside are still limited. Several little chores to work around the time while DH goes for his physio. Have some more clothes to drop off at the charity store, which usually means I’ll find something else to replace them. I love the hunt even if I don’t bag anything. Think I’ll only do one walk today.

Started a slow cooker of Ham & Bean soup at 2:30AM last night and awoke at 7:50AM to add the ham, carrots, celery and onions and shut it off after 2 1/2 hours. Enough food to last for days.
