Water was off all day at the apartment due to a broken main. Stella got her first professional hair cut today-she did really well. 😊. Was also able to rent a garage at the apartment 105 a month, ugh, but it’s going to start snowing soon.

Joey sees the doctor tomorrow, hopefully he can get the oxygen off and return to work. Daughter was able to walk to the bathroom and back today. First time in 3 months, her pain is much reduced; but her one leg is still extremely weak. Hopefully she continues to heal. She is also eating and drinking much better.

Such good news all around!!
 
I've been cutting down some more dead trees for Winter firewood. I've got about 4 cords cut and split, and another 3 cords ready to split. Even if the Winter is severe....as forecasted....I should have enough to last most of the Winter. I spotted a couple more today, which would last until Spring. I have a bunch of small live trees, and will cut some of them in coming days/weeks so as to have some green wood to put in the furnace at night, to keep the fire going all night. I've been doing this for years, and it cuts our electric bill in half, or more, every Winter.
 

Busy, busy, busy!

I had a great time at the rink over the weekend. On Sat we were supposed to have 3 b-day parties, but 2 of them canceled. Well, I took advantage of the situation, and got in some extra practice on a backwards step that I've been working on. Guess what....I fell! I don't remember the last time that I fell....I thought I would die laughing!!!

Beautiful day today...sunny, warm, leaves drifting down. We went to town, had breakfast, then cappuccino. Only then did I notice that I had on one white sock & one black one!!! At first I was mortified! Then I realized that I was old enough that people would assume th that I was senile and think it was cute.

We also went for a walk at the park, to the library, and the store. We ran into my Mom at the store, so I got to give her an extra hug!

I spent the rest of the day cleaning the interior of the truck...Andy helped! (Mostly he supervised. But he also rubbed on my ankles as much as he could!) When I was done with the truck, Andy took me for a walk. Tomorrow is supposed to be another nice day, I'm hoping to do some landscaping.

I really should check this thread everyday. @PamfromTx I had no idea you were having medical issues. All the best to you. ❤️

Found out yesterday at my six month check up that
I DON'T HAVE LUNG CANCER!
Since I have been tested twice a year for the last 2 years, we now go to one CT scan a year for 3 years.
I'm not in the mood to deal with cancer. Ever again.

One of my favorite activities is to stack firewood. I'm crazy, right?!!

@Trila, figure skating? Maybe you mentioned it before. Quite possible as I’m likely wearing your other pair of a black & a white sock. I’ve been known to wear two different shoes.

I wore 2 different shoes to work at the hospital years ago. One of the Drs noticed and said something. LOL

Oh, and that's roller skating. My hubby and I volunteer at a roller rink every weekend. We help the kids, I work in the snack bar, he is the deejay. So much fun!
 
@Trila I never could figure out how to roller skate except for the kind of skates we had as kids that clamped onto our shoes. We skated on the blacktop streets. The roller rink with shoe skates? Nope. The wheels would move, but I wouldn't🛼

It's going to be a perfectly splendid day here...warm and sunny with no wind. I can hardly wait until daylight so I can go out to play in the garden. This could very well be our last really warm day before spring...thermometer will be pushing 80.

I'm still positively over the moon about the new job. Since I can worry over nothing at all, my Self has been saying stupid stuff to me like "What if they change their minds?" and "You talked too much; they are already having second thoughts."

I know with certainty that when they do the background check and key in my name, it's gonna come back and say "Who? Never heard of her", and my name is unusual enough that there aren't two of us anywhere in the US. But that's not stopping my Self from planting neurotic little notions in my head.

It's a good thing that I gave my car away because it keeps me from waltzing down to the biscuit store and giving notice before I have the written offer! In this day and age a background check shouldn't take more than a day or two at most, but the manager said that it could take up to two weeks. Oy.

Oh...did I say about cake decorating? I asked if the cake decorator would be willing to (try to) teach me to decorate cakes. It's the bakery manager who does it, and he was sitting right there! LOL He said he absolutely would teach me. Goody! It's something I've always wanted to learn but never got around to.
 
Garbage bin to the curb this morning.....full with junk, from my decluttering......next week's bin should take care of it, till i get another urge.
Recycle bin goes to the curb tomorrow.....filled as well.
I said i was getting out winter footwear and socks the end of October.....but i didn't......the weather was too nice !!!!!!!!
Now
First winter snowfall, storm maybe, forecasted for tomorrow afternoon into Thursday.......CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, now sandals will probably look odd.
 
@MickaC Naaah. Sandals are fine. Just wear socks with them ;) and make sure you have your Yaktrax handy:LOL:

Patting myself on the back because we've already been out...dropped off the stuff at Goodwill that I purged last week, stopped at Wallyworld to do an even exchange of the wrong kind of coffee that I got the other day, bought a gallon of sweet tea at Publix, picked up breakfast at Wendy's for DSIL, then home again home again jiggety jig. All in less than an hour. Yay.

It'll be warmer in about an hour so I can water the lawn and play in the dirt.

left early this afternoon for my dental appointment today so I could stop off in town to do some banking ( not easy because there's no parking anywhere near the bank.. except for drop off bays only in the centre of town and eagle eyed traffic wardens if one dares to linger longer than a minute)..so it meant parking out of town and walking 1/2 a mile to the Bank to deposit some of the change I counted out the other day.. only 5 bags allowed..so I deposited £50.. got the higher denominations banked first..

Still had more than enough time before my appt so on the way to the dentist there's a retail park with a Coffee shop( Costa ).. and a womens clothing superstore.. so I had a little wander around the store , bought a blouse.. got myself a coffee.. and then drove to the dentist , still 20 minutes early, and the dentist was late calling me in so I had to stand outside for 35 minutes ..

I was fed up, because my lower back is agony if I have to stand in one place for more than a few minutes..😧 , but despite having a perfectly good waiting room, they're still not allowing anyone inside even wearing a mask.. in case they all get Covid, so all the patients get to stand outside regardless of the weather ....nuts, complete nuts. I have to say I was in such pain, I complained to the dentist when I got in there,. ..so she's now given me permission to be allowed to sit inside whenever I go there..

... got the shopping today as well on the way home.. ....had supermarket vouchers, so my £64.. shopping cost £38 ... I even bought a 1/2 a frozen duck with hoisin sauce, as well as a big Frozen chocolate Swiss roll to put in the freezer for Christmas

Starving to death, I hate fasting blood tests! Waiting for the lab to open, two more hours to wait, and my blood sugar is getting lower and lower 🤦🏻‍♀️. Will go out for breakfast after.

I had a post removed Thursday, have no ideal which one. The comment left was “we don’t want to go there”-go where? Whose “we”? Left me wondering if the moderators are going to start removing posts because they do dislike or disagree with the content. Sort of interferes with the whole “freedom of speech” thing that we have in the USA.

So, apparently, we are free to be extremely rude to SF members-questioning their intelligence repeatedly; making nasty comments, and referring to some members in a degrading manner, all of which is against the rules, but which will be left unless removal is requested. However we will be edited for content and not told what the content was or how it was against the “rules”, of it was against the rules.

I get closer and closer to leaving SF, not that it matters to anyone but me. Of course, the above might be edited out as well and/or I might be banned for pointing out the above. Over the last couple of months I have been participating less and less as I am more and more unhappy about what I see as the mistreatment of others.

I really really like most of the people here and enjoy the conversations. It’s a hard decision to make.
-to stay or leave. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I hope you don't leave, Aneeda72! There's so much here, and like you, I also enjoy the conversations. :)

I'm not in the mood to cook! I am so anxious about tomorrow's 6 month visit with the Oncologist.

That's just how I get when I go see this particular doctor. All the cancer patients make me terribly sad.

So, I'm hiding in the walk-in closet; hubby will think I'm out but I'm actually at home. 😚

PamfromTx, just saw your post and hope all went well with your 6 month visit! :)
