It's past 1pm here now.. very overcast , different day completely than yesterday.

I've trimmed back the hedging.. and swept up all of that in the back garden ..that's harder on my back than the hedge trimming tbh..

Then I washed down the front door and doorstep as I do every week... swept away any cobwebs on the hanging flower basket and porch .. , then cleaned all the paintwork in the hallway... and put a new vase of flowers on the shelf...

Just had 10 mins on the treadmill at 5 mph.. should do more but after the gardening and cleaning it hurt... so now I'm sitting down for a rest and a hot cuppa tea.. :coffee:
 

What are you doing today?​


What I did today;


Grocery shopped with my lady
Painted the facia on the garage
Worked on the design of a spice cabinet
Strung up the grape vines (so they'll grow the right way)
Trimmed two plum trees
Other normal stuff

The day went rather quickly

Heck, the weeks are flying by
It's darn near September!
 
This morning, I got the extending ladders and climbed into the loft...it's very tight space to get through and the loft is pretty packed out so not much space to stand around, one backward step and you can be head first back down the ladders...

Anyway I needed some stuff.. and although heavy , and awkward to get down, I managed it without hurting myself... so a bonus for today... (y)
 
Today I drove to Tops on Jazzy and did some shopping. Came home and got my compression stockings on. My neck cooling tube was delivered today so I got it in the freezer early. I already tried it and it works good and I like it. I

I did a bit of cleaning up in between sitting with my feet up. My doctor did tell me not to stand for periods of time. So I am trying to remember that and keep taking breaks. I am writing a blog post while I clean and now cooking supper. I just had some watermelon and cheese for my breakfast/lunch meal so now fixing hot sausage and Asian salad for supper. I am trying to make an effort to eat earlier and just have yogurt in the evening.

I still have to clean my bunny boy's cage!
 
I bought a 15 dollar lamp from target, works well and provides the light I need. Bought a food scale, non electric which I prefer, to weight meat and count calories, 10 dollars. I am trying to burn 2000 calories a day and eat 1500 calories a day since my weight loss has stalled.

So walking walking walking and less eating ☹️ therefore less tv watching 😂 is what I am doing today and everyday. Ordered 3 photo albums from Amazon since I couldn’t find the ones I wanted in the stores-paid for with cash back bonus from Discovercard. 😁
 
went to w-mart to pick up prescriptions yesterday. asked if i had gotten seasonal flu and/or shingles shot? hadn't gotten shots yet so got both. felt like crap all last night. sore arm and closest to a fever that i've been since before covid. 98.6 makes me feel SICK so 98.2 had me in bed all day.

you got the flu shot AND the shingles shot at the same time ?...wow!! No wonder you feel awful...you poor thing.. I hope you feel better soon....
 
Trimed back the squash runners......any squash on the last runners won't mature......not enough time.
Still wanting to move a oak barrel to a different spot.
Doing some measuring for the last raised frame.
Watching the grass grow....will have to mow again.....i HATE mowing grass.....not hard, the front wheels are self driven.....just HATE mowing.
Getting things collected for garbage day, did some sorting last week, added to the garbage.
 
Having my morning coffee and then will get a shower. Possibly I will get a load of laundry downstairs. Bedding and towels so have to dry in the dryer. Do some vacuuming and then going to clean Rabbit's cage. I am trying to switch to cleaning his cage in the mornings instead of the afternoon. It is a job that makes me hot. I think it is all that bent over business, though I do sit on Jazzy to do it.

Then maybe, not sure yet, Sonny wants to go to the park again. I am thinking if we do that, I can get him to stop at the Farmer's Market and I can use my coupons that I got from the Office of the Aging. And he needed to bring me water because I ran out. I think I am drinking more now.
