What are you doing today?

Presently I am having my morning coffee and a new blog post research. At eleven the new aide is coming for her interview. My plan is to do some laundry and vacuuming. If I get that done early enough, I want to take a ride in the park. They are setting it up for Colorscape, which is a big art and music festival with lots of food vendors (too expensive).
 
It's noon here now, it's almost black outside with cloud cover and it's LASHING down with rain...I love those days where I have the best excuse not to go out,,, and although it's very humid in here, and I have the oscillating fans on... I enjoy being indoors...

I've not done too much today, no chores yet, not much needs doing tbh... I have had to deal with some Bureaucratic stuff but while it's beneficial to me, I'm not complaining...

Good luck with the Interview for your new Aide, @katlupe..I hope she's exactly what you need..

we've always had to do that... on the NHS..and believe me the referral can take months.. even in my case and due to the pandemic ..2 years..I'm not kidding. This coming week I get to have a procedure done that's become so much more chronic and urgent over this long waiting period
 
Trying to decide if I should walk my usual, walk less, or not walk at all today since I got my spinal shot yesterday. My body leaning towards not walking and I slept in a bit, 😂. My mind wants me to walk. Hmm.
 
I gave the bathroom a deep cleaning this morning.

While I was standing on my head huffing and puffing to clean the bathtub I thought how nice it would be to have a disposable tub liner that I could just peel off and toss into the trash every week or two.

Apparently, someone else had the same idea!

The ones I've seen online have mixed reviews and vary widely in price but I'm tempted to give them a try.

Other than that it's just another ho-hum day in paradise. :)
 
On my early morning walk around 6:20,wore my yellow reflector vest since it was still a bit dark outside.It was cool 54 so I was wearing my capri pants with sweatshirt.When I returned,watered the plants/flowers in community garden
This morning,my friend,Thora&I are going on our usual Friday'grocery road trip' to local grocery store.I haven't been in 2 weeks
The rest of my day,probably take another walk,this afternoon might sit out in the garden unless I get distracted doing something else

My advice:
Over the course of my lifetime I've used a lot of different mops. Dozens, in fact. About 15 years ago I came across this one at our county fair and never looked back. All of my children bought the same type when they moved out, for the same reason - it's close to mop perfection!

I'm still on my original mop setup, though I have bought additional mop heads for different applications. Mostly I use the fluffy green and the blue scrubby.

For cleaning bathtubs: I reduce the extension on the mop so the stick isn't too long, put the blue scrubby on and literally mop the tub. I'm done in just a minute or two.

When I'm mopping floors I use two mopheads so that I don't have to keep rinsing them.

Afterwards, the mopheads go in the washing machine. Hang to dry.

Amazon sells them now. Here's the basic info: https://www.amazon.com/Starfiber-StarMop-Wet-Microfiber-Cleaning/dp/B009319INC

This is the setup I'd recommend:

p.s. I have no financial or other interest in this company. I'm just an extremely satisfied customer!
 
My youngest, my daughter, turns 38 today. Since her days off are currently Weds & Thurs. she'll be going into work at 2pm as usual on Fridays. She's not much of a cake eater, (weirdly because she loves mini cupcakes) so i make her whatever goody she requests. This year it's frosted chocolate brownies. (Which are in fridge as we speak because the daytime temps have been in mid to high 80s). Am going to get lunch from locally owned 'Chicken Hut' place whose stuff she's loves.

Thanks!

I have a feeling that I would spend just as much time standing on my head huffing and puffing to install the liner as I do swishing out the tub.

I have a fresh sponge mop head that I’ll try on the tub and if it works I’ll go for your recommendation.

Thanks again, B
 
@Aunt Bea
I wondered what material those liners are made of?
Do you know?
I didn't want to click on it, to find out, and then, I'd likely get pictures of them, on every site I go to, and in my e-mail box, too, forever and ever. :giggle: :D :ROFLMAO:

Then again, now I might, just for mentioning it, in this post here. :giggle::ROFLMAO:
 
welp, just back from md...he had my knee xray'd and it show pretty much solid arthritis across those bones, compared it to 3 yrs ago and it is worse.....so for now topical pain relief and if no
relief may get injection in knee down the road........it is feeling better today thankfully.....:p
 
Well today it rained solidly and hard for several hours , and I was quite happy with that because the humidity level has been so high this last couple of days it's been horrible headache weather ... ( still is again now the rain has stopped)...anyway it meant I didn't have to go anywhere today necessarily, no appointments, unlike tomorrow ... and fortunately I was at home because an order I bought a while back for a weighted blanket arrived today...

I'd heard all about them and their specific uses and having looked and saw that they seemed thin like my comforter which is the only thing aside from a sheet I have on my bed now .., I decided to try one. Well we'll have to see how that scenario works out because when the delivery driver handed it to me I could hardly hold it, it was so heavy..:oops: so I can't think how I'll be able to cope with that weight on me in my already very warm bed..I didn't buy it for it's heat properties

However I won't try it until temps start cooling down here ...

I've spent the whole afternoon working on the computer or talking on the phone with regard to some ongoing business which needs constant attention for the foreseeable future .. so that's kept me out of trouble for all day...

9.30pm here now,I've just put the last of the paperwork away for the day , and now I'm going to sit and relax here or watch some TV...

I have debated and debated whether to get my nephew a weighted blanket because it is sooooo cold where he is attending college and decided against it. His mother said he didn't need any more blankets. Hope you enjoy yours.
