What are you doing today?

[Aneeda72]

I'm so sorry.

Thanks, it got really strange with the breeder. After giving Henry only one shot, the next day she started walking him around the neighborhood despite the danger of parvo and heart worm, she refused to wean him off mom even though he’s 11 weeks old, and then she asked me if, at my age, I was able to care for a puppy.

So, I spoke to a friend who agreed she did not know what she was doing and I was done. Got my deposit back. She put him up for sale for even more money. But he will be a bear to separate from mom at this point in time. Certainly, not able to live in a an apartment

In the mean time while waiting ....I will be making some waldorf salad (granny smith apples, celery, walnuts and mayo) to have around. And to serve when a girlfriend of mine comes by for lunch tmrw.

I'd totally forgotten about Waldorf salad - thanks for the reminder. Am planning an outdoor baby shower and wanted something a little jazzier than a plain fruit salad (which I'll also serve for the kids). I make a version with dried cranberries for a little extra tang.

 

[oldpop]

Not much.

It's been raining all day today. I had 2 meetings today, one early .. which took me until lunchtime, and then I managed to drive home and have a quick snack and a cuppa tea , and then back out for a second meeting.. .

Picked up a couple of groceries on the way back . Went in for cheese, and all the Cambozola cheese in the fridge was out of date by 4 days

This is one of our higher end supermarkets whose shelves are half empty currently, so no-one is being so run off their feet they can't notice a whole refrigerator shelf of cheese is past it's date by 4 days... . I did call someone of course, and they took them all off.. but ridiculously slack shelf fillers, when they barely have any stock or customers for that matter, to let that slip.

I am making applesauce in the Instant Pot with the 2 bags of apples I got from the food box yesterday. My new aide was supposed to work today (her 2nd day) but she got her vaccine on Wednesday and has been very sick ever since. If she is better tomorrow, we will work out a time for her to come then (after I do my shopping with Sonny and other errands). I already cleaned the bunny cage so now just on the computer for now.

What I did today.

I have been at an Imaging Center in McAllen, Texas since around 9 a.m.; just got home.

The neatest thing (well, to me) is that there is a Radiologist there to discuss the findings of any diagnostic tests that are done. I had a mammogram, breast ultrasound and a chest x-ray today. I couldn't even stand for the chest x-ray because I was so tired due to lack of adequate sleep and I was so cold there. And of course, I was alone.

The good news? NO CANCER... this time. I burst into tears; happy tears. I wanted to hug someone but they wouldn't allow it with the pandemic. The Radiologist said I could hug her in a year perhaps.

 

[Llynn]

I'm going to clean the salt tank on my water softner/conditioner system.

Selling things on FB. Obviously the prices were too low because they were snapped up and multiple requests for them. One fellow drove for 1.5 hours to pick up something for free. He couldn’t believe his luck. I can’t believe that it’s finally out of my basement. That’s what’s important to me.

yep, see I do that too if I want rid of stuff fast. Either almost give it away at ridiculously low prices or donate.

Our local charity shop wouldn't take my very good condition unmarked redwood Modern sideboard because, quote '' we're not selling dark wood at the moment''...It was in as new condition, and would have fetched them a days' takings if they'd sold it but they refused it so I took it and put it out on the kerb with a Free sign on it .

It hadn't been out there more than a short time when a guy knocked the door , he was so stunned that it was free he felt he had to come and double check,...
Bargain for him, and a big loss for the charity

I've been trying to place an order on the new Walmart website and it is a nightmare! I have been ordering from them for several years but they have changed their website and it is not user friendly now. If they keep this up, they will be losing online customers. I have read reviews about it and 94% were saying it is bad.

That's a bummer. Explains why they emailed me like 15 surveys in the past 2 months, all about rating the website.

 

[Murrmurr]

We'll have the twins over the weekend, so my job today is to make the apartment safe for 2yr-olds, reassemble Zoey's bed, and hide Paxton's drum set and his most favorite toys in the closet. Good thing it's a big closet, plus it's even bigger once I take Zoey's bed-parts out of it.

Pam, i'm so HAPPY for you with the answer of ...NO CANCER...
Too far away for a big HUG......just be on the lookout.....I'm sending you the " BIGGEST HUG EVER !!!!!!!! "
Take care.

 

[RobinWren]

hours to pick up something for free.

when we renovated our bathroom I put the whole room on for free, a gentleman drove 21/2 hours to get it. I was happy, no dumping fees. I bought a beautiful glass cabinet out from the UK that belonged to my parents, used it for a long time but had no room when we moved here, again free, was gone in an hour.

So happy for you Pam!!

Went and had a televisit with a new rhuemy today. Downtown.

Then off to the store for some Armenian food. I'm going to be cooking for my cousin and his wife, and my neighbor while his wife is in rehab. Physical rehab.
Then to Walmart. Picked up Eric Clapton's greatest hits CD. A couple of plants. Other things.

Now, I'm having a marinated skirt steak and salad w/ranch. Yum.

 

[Furryanimal]

I unblocked the kitchen sink.

 

[Lee]

Still doing yardwork. Then have to do something about partially covering a window as the neighbors are just building a deck giving's them a bird's eye view into the extra bedroom/storage. Peeping Tom and Thomasina.

So I need something that will block out the bottom of the window. Poor cat.....that was his lookout perch.

 

[WheatenLover]

I actually accomplished something yesterday. I washed a large load of dishes. My daughter uses every pan and bowl in the house every time she cooks something "interesting" for dinner that I don't like. Like curries, and things with hot peppers in them.

Then I tore down some boxes for the recycle bin. Mostly stuff from Chewy.com and flats that the endless water bottles are sold in.

Today I am going to set up the water filter pitcher I bought so we no longer need the plastic bottles. Also, my dog loves taking the lids off them, and that can be a problem if the bottle is still sealed. He hates the water inside, so he doesn't make that mistake often.

My plan is to put the kitchen back the way I had arranged it. Really, do we need a container of Clorox Wipes on the open shelving instead of under the sink????

And I am going to stop procrastinating and make a bunch of appointments. Seems like the doctors can't stop wanting to see me, and put me through tests. I'm going to have to stop being so bloody cheerful.

 

[Kaila]

So I need something that will block out the bottom of the window. Poor cat.....that was his lookout perch.

I wonder if there is something that could easily go over and cover that window, or just that lower portion of it, so that you and kitty could both see out, but others outside, cannot see in. Perhaps something that shades the incoming light, without blocking the view .(Without blocking yours, while blocking theirs!
Perhaps a sheet or roll of something that adhers easily, with some sticky stuff on the one side of it?

 

[hollydolly]

Not a lot to report today, I've felt off colour all day, so mooching around a lot...

Managed to get some plant boxes on the trellis re-arranged earlier when the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Nearly set the house on fire when I left the frying pan on at lunchtime. I've never left anything on the stove top still ON.. after I finish cooking .. .
I'd been dry frying an egg beforehand so there was no oil in it fortunately ... but I'd been upstairs for about 1/2 hour when I realised I'd been able to smell something like burning electrics or similar for a little while , so I went down and found the frying pan still on a low gas.
Amazingly it wasn't burned..but the handle of the new spatula had melted in half where it had been resting on the side of the pan..


...I have to be really more careful, this is the second close call in the last few weeks..left the oven on for several hours a few weeks back too... I was lucky I was in, and not asleep or out of the house, or there would have been a horrible disaster !!

Be very careful @hollydolly
Many years ago, I had a kitchen fire when I inadvertently left a frypan on the stove

There are several different types of privacy film to put on windows, where you and kitty can see out just fine, but no one can see inside.

We have that on the kitchen window. As long as it’s brighter outside than in, the neighbours can’t see in. At night, we close the shades. They have the same thing from their side.
