I like your shirts and the way you dress. I think your wife is an angel. I think you should not worry about how other people dress.

Why did you have a liver biopsy? I must have missed the why part

We moved to the apartment-took four days. We realized that in the past year we aged a lot! Moving to this house was not nearly as hard as moving out of it. There was a storage garage across the street from where we lived so we put half our stuff in it and just moved our essentials.welcome back .... where the heck have you beeen ?..we thought you'd moved house or sumthin'..the length of time you've been away...

Then he cleaned the house as I am exhausted and my leg and side hurt a lot. Our oldest son and his SO moved all the heavy stuff the last day. Comcast came out today and now we have WiFi, obviously.

I finally got rid of the many eyedrops/medication boxes I had accumulated. I used nail polish remover to take the sheen off the sticky labels which can't be shredded. Then I used my handy ID privacy stamp to camouflage my name. The process is easy and didn't take long at all so I intend to keep up with it from now on. I did more shredding; also went upstairs to leave a note for my neighbor that I brought his package inside (it was left on top of our mailboxes in the hallway). Turns out his son was home so he came and got it. I exercised to Leslie Sansone (walk videos) until I got a call. which cut my exercise session short. I've gotten lazy now, so won't get back to that tonight. 
Loaded and ran the dishwasher. Now trying to figure out what I want for dinner.

Well that's something out my distant past - 6th grade to be exact. My teacher, Mrs. F, was absolutely nuts about S. America, gauchos, the Pampas and yerba mate. She would even bring some for the class to taste/drink if they wanted and, of course, you drank it with a straw out of a gourd. That was a long time ago but Mrs. F certainly etched it into our brains. Nice memory. Thanks!

@OneEyedDiva , I use my privacy stamp all the time, it's so much quicker and easier than shredding, and when my parcels arrive from online purchases, I just take the boxes into the kitchen or garden, and swipe with the ID stamp.. before putting them into the recycle bin ..

Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, I drink it the traditional way except I prefer a wood cup. They're carved out of local wood down there in So America. I do have a few gourd cups, and switch it up from time to time. I was introduced to mate' when I dated a beauty from Brazil about 15 years ago and drink it at least once daily ever since.

Unfortunately, we have no recycle bin for papers although there's a place for boxes, which isn't that great. I think they just started covering the box bins with tarp because when it rained the boxes would get all wet. In fact, I had the idea the other day to take a few papers that would be good for recycling and drop them in the recycle bin at the post office which resembles a mailbox. Besides shredding is kind of fun. I remember our secretary at work used to love to go up to the second floor and use the shredder.@OneEyedDiva , I use my privacy stamp all the time, it's so much quicker and easier than shredding, and when my parcels arrive from online purchases, I just take the boxes into the kitchen or garden, and swipe with the ID stamp.. before putting them into the recycle bin ..

Yes,
. But I am slowly getting it put away. I have decided there is no rush. We are getting take out every day as pots and pans are buried in the mess somewhere. Need to pick up our bookcases from the storage still.Yup, I seriously didn’t care how clean the house ended up, I was too tired to care. Before we left I cleaned a little but not much. Son and SO were great! Then in all this our oldest son, the totally disabled one, was admitted to the hospital. He was released last night. He had another bowel blockage.
. They are going to try him on a new medication.The apartment does not have the storage the house did so we went to ikea and bought me a dresser as mine got broke in the last move, and we are using the tv cabinet I had in the living room as we sold the one we had in the living room with the house. Plus the room divider which had drawers I was using. Then my nightstand got broke so bought a new one. But he has to put them together. Definitely staying here a year or so if not forever. Moving was just too difficult.

Will be happy when you can get some much needed downtime.
I miss hearing about Bella.

Did computer work this morning, unclogged some gutters and procrastinated at length on washing the motorcycle's stand-in. Had a nice lunch of chicken salad, pasta salad and cottage cheese with thoughts of more corn on the cob for tonight. The weather cleared, the sun came out and I took off to an old mill ruins that was on the drone's dance card. Shown below in an earlier photo, it's been on my photography wish list for some time now but is posted, fenced, private property.
When I got there, the place was jammed with cars, trucks, vans and hundreds of people both in the space above and more milling around outside the fence. When I tried to get a photograph of the melee, a very polite policeman asked me to not take any pictures and move ASAP. Another man wearing some ID badge around his neck told me I should come back later as they were about to film and I was in a space that needed to be empty. They were filming a movie and the production looked more like mass confusion with people running around everywhere. With no other parking spaces, anywhere near this place, I left.
I learned a little more this morning about the filming that put the brakes on yesterday's adventure. It seems I stumbled into a Netflix production. This from the Milford News: UPDATED: Hollywood comes to Uxbridge: Bernat Mill site buzzing with activity
The long-vacant, fire-wrecked ruins of the Bernat Mill buzzed with activity Thursday afternoon. Cars and trucks drove in and out of the cracked parking lot. Thick cables ran close to the old building and beneath weatherproof tiles, and trailers and electrical equipment backed into a corner of the property. Shooting locations haven’t been released, but Uxbridge officials confirmed that Netflix is filming a movie in town, the title of which is still under wraps. - More at source.
Now I understand why they shooed me away. This is supposed to be hush-hush. Keeping an army of cars, trucks, trailers, people, cables, and lights secret is no easy task. Today's explorations, if any, will not be anywhere near that area.

Yes, I had a total hip replacement a month ago. It’s still very painful and I overdid on moving day and the incision started bleeding so I am taking it really easy now. I really miss Bella as well. Not having a dog is really hard on me emotionally as I seem to need a dog.
I just am unsure if i should get one. I will not and can not get a puppy. The apartment allows 6 month old pups. There is a 6 year old dog, still for sale, that I am considering. I just don't know. Husband is very difficult at this time, so I am undecided. But a dog is company for me, he is not.
. Just can’t decide what to do and that dog will not be available for forever.

Just my thoughts, @Aneeda72 …. So many changes in your life recently… it might be best to wait before adding another responsibility (in this case, a dog) to the mix.Yes, I had a total hip replacement a month ago.

I took my Subaru Impreza to the dealer for it's annual inspection, oil change and two recalls. I was given a loaner which is a 2021 Forester. It feels like a tank compared to the Impreza being much larger but I could get used to it. What gets me is all the useless bells and whistles gadgetry. You don't use a key as you have forever but you place this device inside the car and then press a start button. Why? More electronic crap when I just want to get from A to B.

I am planning on going grocery shopping. Sonny will pick me up after his aide is done at his house and he can come here. Right now he cannot be gone too long from his house because of his new dog. It seems that she has anxiety issues which nobody told him exactly what she did. Now he met another family member and found that she will destroy pillows and cushions if left alone for hours. Well, now she is with two other dogs and his bird, who talks a lot, so not really alone. But that is okay with us, he will take me shopping and then can drop me off here. I am fine with that. He doesn't have to be gone that long. He lives about 25 miles from me.

Aneeda, I am sorry your son was in the hospital.
I am glad you got the dresser and nightstand, and I hope they will get put together so you can use them, soon.
Yes, I agree that moving is so very much harder, at this point in life.... !!!! I was forced to move last year, and it was extremely difficult, and impossible to unpack like I wish.
It's very good that you had the nearby storage place, and your son and the SO to do some!
Just do every little thing you can, to make it any bit easier, for yourself, for as long as you need to. (Maybe forever, now.If you are like me now. )
I know what you mean about needing the company of a doggie. It's a difficult decision to make, as they are such special company which we need, and we want to care for one, to help them too, yet they do require extra care and more physical movements, that we might not have any help with)

I hope that dog works out well with Sonny.

We have a 2019 Subaru Impreza and are looking to, maybe, buy a Forester and trade the Impreza as we are unsure how well the Impreza will do on trips. We already had the recalls fixed. We were thinking of driving to Texas to see our daughter. But with COVID-19 on the rise, again, not sure we should travel.
.Have you traveled with your Impreza? How did it do on mountains?

He needs to buy a crate and crate the dog. Crates help with the anxiety, makes the dog feel safe, and the dog can still interact with the other pups and hear the bird, but prevents destruction of his property.
