My daughter hired a maid to come tomorrow at noon. My dog and I will be here. My daughter already warned me not to clean up anything before the maid comes because she is paying the maid a lot of money. I can't do much since I have cancer, but I can do some stuff, I hope.

Obviously my daughter doesn't realize that one has to clean the surfaces so the maid can clean the floors, etc. I am not letting the maid in my bedroom. That is my private space.
 

Well...I had a very odd experience.. A large brown envelope with enclosed documents was sent to me from a Government office ( expected)... what I wasn't expecting was along with my docs inside the envelope was a Post office Receipt from another county for £60.50.. dated ..December 2003 :oops: ??

Other than the usual morning chores......will either move landscape stones or mow the front yard.....but clouds are looking heavy out there.
May not get either done.
Mowed the backyard yesterday.
I see the mower housing needs the grass that hardens cleaned out...if it rains, good job to do.

Have a good time!
 
Today I am writing out my budget sheets for the month. One for my son's money and one for me. I have one package of chicken to vacuum pack. Then doing a load of laundry. I hadn't done it yet, because of having to stay cool and keeping my feet up. They are better due to the compression stockings but I need to elevate them for half an hour several times through out the day. Have not heard from my doctor's office yet about the appointment to the lymphmatic clinic yet so I think I will call them to remind them.

Have a fantastic time, and really enjoy your trip... see you when you get back....🧳✈️
 
I took the wall clock to Waterford Clock (24 mile round trip). Estimate for repairs - $350. The proprietor suggested a new battery operated movement. He said it would look the same, but the pendulum would be stationary. That wouldn't be as charming as a wind-up one. I have brought clocks to them several times and it's always the same story - put a battery movement in it. Are they too lazy to repair a wind up movement?

Today I had my first Pfizer Jab... after holding out for 18 months I've decided I really need to get it done , if I've to not catch C-19 again... so I did ..

Then I drove to the next town and dropped off a bag of clothing.. some still with tags on.. the ladies who opened the bag to sort it at the donation counter were ''ooohing and aaahing'', and one said..''that's mine'' as she put something aside for herself :D

Then I did some hardware shopping.. got some new Hardback diaries.. with my Initial in gold lettering..oooh how cute..lol.....

Bought a new Jug Kettle in Scarlet Red

I bought some ornamental stuff for the top of desk drawers in my office room, flowers, .. and a new lamp.. which I think looks cute..

...

...and some new sheets in Navy blue and Pale blue... for the bed in the spare room......and some things for my DD.. which will be a surprise for her..

I even stopped at a drive thu for KFC... the particular KFC in that town, really does delicious chicken, so I pushed the boat out, had 2 drumsticks and a coke...🍗🥤..I think I deserved a little treat after my Jab, and donating so much of my clothing to Cancer Research ...

Glad you are ok was worried about you being in the flooding
 
I just woke up from a nap. I didn't get any sleep last night because a Tornado hit my area. Thankfully no damage was done. It also hit the area where my daughter lives and where my sister and her children live. Luckily we all did ok except one of her daughters had a tree fall on her garage.
Material things don't mean anything it's the people that matter.

yes I think so.. I did have a certain immunity for a while having had C-19 in 2020... but now I want to be able to get out and about, and maybe do some voluntary work, so I felt I need to get the vaccinations as much to protect other people as myself... ..and I really don't want to get the Delta Variant, I might not survive it this time
 
Todaay I will be feeling sorry for myself as I'm in a lot
of pain, I want to go back to age 52 instead of 82...seems
like that was a good age for me.....my right knee sort of
took a dump about 3am today woke me with terrible pain,
some swelling on inside of knee, used heat/ then ice...have taken pain pill...tried to lay back down, no joy, so excuse me while I cuss, cry, and groan and moan......:cry:
 
I am making hard boiled eggs in the IP right now. Then processing a package of chicken thighs. 4 get vacuumed packed and into the freezer and the other 4 are marinating in chicken Spiedie marinade to cook for supper tonight and tomorrow. Taking a ride to the dumpster and might check out the park for a bit. This afternoon I will try to get some laundry done, depends on how many others are using the laundry room. I can always do it later in the afternoon. I like it when nobody else is there.
