I woke up around 6am,didn't hear the birds chirping. My early morning walk at 6:15 was 2 times around community garden circle after I watered the plants/flowers.It was refreshingly cool around 70
My long walk this morning 6 blocks to Canopy of Neighbors office do some filing.The office is only open on Tues&Weds for the time being,.I continue to call members from home Mon mornings
Afterwards,I'll walk to Walgreens which is a block away,need couple items.If its not too humid,I'll walk home
The rest of my day,read NYT,my book sitting with fan in my living room
 

Repotting a really "blooming" Mandevilla, jumping in the pool to have a cup of midmorning coffee, yes I drink it while paddling around in the pool...and then contemplating fixing hub's favorite spaghetti for dinner. Living the dream. Enjoy your day, fellow forumers...summer is almost over. Sigh.
 
I got out of the hospital last night. I guess they had found someone else with a Medicare account that wasn't milked out yet....LOL. Of course, I still know about as much as I did going in. You can't get anyone to give you a straight answer in a hospital.....it's always "you'll need to talk to the doctor about that" and then the doctor plays the disappearing act. Apparently all they found was that my troponin levels were somewhat elevated, which is what it shows after a heart attack, but I didn't seem to have a heart attack. My heart rate went up for a while last night but settled back down again and blood pressure went up. I have some follow-up appointments with the cardiology group, so maybe one of these days we'll find out what happened.

Bottom line, I'm still alive and kicking.
 
Tomorrow morning my 17 year old grand-niece and my cousin's 16 year old granddaughter (boy do those descriptions make me feel old) arrive from the east coast for their week-long visit. Today I need to spiff up the house, refresh the guest rooms, and procure food that appeals to teenage girls who eat very differently from DH and my typical patterns.
 
...been out again... in the heat, and trimmed all the hedging.. it's only been 3 weeks since I did it last but we've had a lot of unseasonable rain..so it's sprouted fast . Raked it all up, then mowed the front lawn. Back is killing me now 😬 so I didn't do the back garden , it's not bad anyway..... so it'll have to wait for another day this week..

I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. Now I can sympathize with the old guy in the ER.

Also JuJube:
"Boy, it's been a long time since a handsome young man has said to me, "I'm going to need for you to remove your jeans......"

Thank you, Erik, I know you were only concerned about the metal zipper melting down in the CT machine, but it sure brought back some fond memories to this old hag......"

Keeping your sense of humor is a good sign. It also sometimes motivates a little extra effort on part of medical staff and techs. They get so many complainers (often the ones with least to actually complain about), they appreciate a person in good spirits despite a potentially dangerous condition.

Hope you'll be better soon!

I went to radiation this morning. Thank goodness no side effects yet.
Came home, ate lunch, and ever since then I've been procrastinating by being on the computer. Now it's too late to make the phone calls I needed to make. I've been putting those calls off for a month now.

Your top priority is YOUR health. If there's anyway you can delegate those calls to family member--do it. Don't know what the calls are about but when i find myself reluctant to make calls (especially business or medical related) i make notes of what i want to say or ask. Often the calls turn out to go better than i expected.
Hope your treatment continues to go well.
 
Up early, watered a little again in the backyard. Then green tea and computer time. Had some left over pilaf for breakfast.
Have to tackle coloring my hair for sure today...I'm stalling.

Pedicure, wax my eyebrows.

I'm looking for some houseplants. I want to add some to my living room and bedroom, but I can't find any.
 
Had to go and buy printer ink when next weeks cricket tickets came out unscannable!
The perils of buying cheaper ink that doesn’t warn you when it’s running low.Asda own brand works fine and doesn’t break the bank.
The printer manufacturers ink is almost as much as the printer cost!

It's true! These poor medical people are literally putting their heads in the lion's mouth to take care of us, and it's wrong wrong wrong to make their lives harder. Everyone at the hospital (except one) was so nice and cheerful. It tells me that the hospital must be taking care of the emotional health of their employees. And even the one crab gave me his lunch instead of making me wait the half hour to get the food people to send me something. This was at his insistance; I was OK to wait......hell,
I could live off my body fat for six months...LOL.

One of the nurses and I got to jawing and had so much fun, we've got a lunch date for next week. The xray tech says he's coming, too. Heck, I've been wanting to make some new friends and I never thought to check myself into the hospital to find them. I had a brand new audience to tell jokes to.. Maybe I'll try the psychiatric ward next.....I'm sure I can find some kindred spirits there.

Just doing chores here and there. Have a lump of ground beef cooking in the pressure cooker because it was frozen; going to make some chili with black beans.

Will soon be taking my dog out for a walk. 84F and humid!

You inspired me to go make a chunky veg Cottage pie to freeze into portions for just me...( no chilli, stomach won't allow any spice)

I cooked the beef, then added split peas, onions, chopped mushrooms, carrots, Butter beans, and sprouts,. Added some beef gravy & red wine stock pot.., and cooked it off for 1/2 an hour . It's now cooling in the pie dish on the counter..ready to go into the fridge overnight, then I'll top it with Mash in the morning, and bake it in the oven. It'll make at least 4 good size portions for me to freeze.. ...
