What are you doing today?

Admiring the land this morning after Pedro mowed the acreage around the house. Someone once commented while staying with us that it looked like a "resort". It always looks so wonderful for a couple weeks right after he mows.

Think I'll give hub a much needed haircut today. Been cutting his hair for many years and you know what? The bum never tips me...lol.

Hot August day here. Pool is fantastic...have a great day forum friends!
 

Swimming again this morning - skipped yesterday because I was passing a little kidney stone (ugh), but am better now.
The pool is holding steady at 90°-92° (the cover keeps the warmth in and prevents evaporation), which sounds hot but is positively yummy to swim in.

After that I'll be working (business working) for a few hours. July and August are peak season for us.
 
Daughter is feeling better, YAY, so I think she is healing. She has stopped taking pain meds. Still, she can’t eat much. Baby got sick and had a fever, but I think it was because mom was gone and she was stressed. Baby is also better today. One of my daughter’s dogs stopped eating, the small toy male, but is now back on schedule.

He won’t leave her side. Guess he wins the “I love you the most” contest. 😂

My usual stuff, and laundry, working on separating pictures into new albums to give to the kids. Have a self portrait mother pained of herself years ago. Tried to get brother to take it, it was a no go. ☹️ Going to frame it and give it to my son.

I wish I could toss it, but just can’t bring myself to do it so I’ll stick him with it. 😂

@Sliverfox has reminded me that I was going to make a Lemon Meringue pie today. Better get at it before it’s too hot to turn on the oven for the meringue.

OMGOSH Sams Club had a lemon meringue cake yesterday. They had to mop my drool up off the floor. 😂. I also love lemon meringue pie. Fortunately, for me, Sams bakery goods are always stale, so I did not buy one. I wanted to though, I desperately wanted too.
 
Attacked lots of Ivy growing on the brick shed....this morning..

Re-attached the pelmet that covers the top of the blind in my bedroom... for some odd reason it fell off the other day so I had to get some new hook and loop tape and re-attach... I had to climb on high ladders.. so I was a bit worried I might fall because there was nothing to hold onto, but I just took it carefully

Had to wait in for some deliveries, and then I went shopping for food., got some rump steak for just £2.49...and it had some fat on the rind, that's my favourite part ..we've not been able to buy rump steak with fat on for a very long time.....

I weighed myself last Thursday... today I weighed myself again, and I've lost 6 pounds (almost 1/2 a stone) ...looks like I've lost a pound a day..wow!!

About ready to take the pup for shots & health check up.

Of course Hubby is too busy to help with transporting us to vet.

Will be first time dog has seen me driver's seat.
Taking my small SUV that has tie down hooks in it.
Will fasten his leash to bungee cord & hope he doesn't get hyper

It isn't far to vet.

You could crate him in the car
 
It's been a dull day today so I haven't even been in the garden...
Took delivery of 2 parcels one of which holds shelf supports so later I can fix my broken shelf in the kitchen

I've had lunch today.. just yesterday's left over chicken and green veg in a flatbread...

..totally bored and fed up .. nothing to do of any enjoyment & nowhere to go... trying to deal with some family issues at the same time. For 2 pins I'd jump on a plane and get out of the country for a few days ... Dam that pandemic !😖

3rd if three days off

caught up on my sleep

Found some good books at the library — maybe after lunch I’ll make a smoothie and sit out on the screened-in porch to read

been to Walmart this AM— there’s a couple things I can only get there so I stocked up and hopefully don’t have to go back for another 3-4 weeks

fixin’ to do some stretching and dancing Hey, @hollydolly, why don’t u put on some of your fave music and join me? You might feel less blah 🎻🎸🎺
 
Got pup to vet,, sitting in examination room ,, heard it thunder,,"O,, great,, rain."

After it stops in walks hubby ,, wants the car so his cousin go home.
And he forgot his wallet so I had to shell out cash to pay his cousin.:mad:

Few minutes after hubby left, in comes the vet.

Mac got ears looked at , he's crying , standing up with his body on my chest though whole examination.
Shot in shoulder,,more whining,, that one must have hurt enough he didn't notice the one in his butt.

On more nasty thing to add to his indignity,, anal glands drained.

In the waiting room lots of new dogs to look at while I pay bill & set up another appointment.

Once outside I discover hubby isn't there.:devilish:

Had a 20 minute wait.

The alarm system "saga" continues. I finally did a chat session with customer service after waiting 24 hours for a call back and they are sending a new smoke alarm to replace the beeping one. It's still in warranty so no charge. They removed it from the active sensors so the control panel would stop chirping. But it didn't stop. They checked and said there is another smoke alarm connected to the system which also indicates low batteries, who knew? Found that unit in the laundry room and thank goodness no beeping yet. However, the main unit continues to chirp and until I replace the second smoke alarm batteries it will keep doing that. At least a chirp is much quieter than a beep. Now I have to find a place that sells the lithium batteries I need. That's what I'll be doing today.

Oh I *hate* that chirping noise! It’s like staccato fingernails in a chalk board! 🙄
