Dear me. I'm as nervous as a frog on the freeway with a busted hopper about the new job. It's kind of a case of the-devil-you-know-is-better-than-the-devil-you-don't-know.

More money at the new job, don't have to be there until 6am (I'm usually up by 5am). A lot to learn. Easier on DD because she's the one who drops me off and picks me up.

Less money at the old job, have to be there at 4am. Nothing to learn. It's not rocket science. Harder on DD because she has to get up at 3:30 to drop me off, then comes to fetch me home around 10:30-11.

On Friday after work, I go to the new job to sign papers and stuff, then next week a couple of hours of orientation.

Tell me I'm doing the right thing.

Been a gloriously sunny day day today, so I took the opportunity to go and collect a prescription left for me by my consultant at the hospital in the next county.. and on the way there pick up a buy and collect cardigan I bought from a Clothing store here in my own town....

The hospital is near several retail parks so I thought it would be a good idea as it's still November to stock up with some Christmas food for the freezers.. before everywhere gets too crowded.. in total I shopped in 4 stores and not one single store was playing Christmas music.. in fact 3 out of 4 weren't playing any music at all which surprised me as we are usually assailed with it from the beginning of November .

Got a call today cancelling a regular meeting I have on a Thursday afternoon.. so that means tomorrow for the second week running I will have time after my usual Thursday AM meeting to take my car and get it washed and go to the bank and deposit even more change bags, and get my nails done ...haven't been to the nail salon in well over a year , and I have a pre Christmas lunch this weekend with some friends , so I'd like to get spruced up a bit .. :D

Follow your heart, and it will always be "the right thing"!DSC_0160__83163.1488448817.1000.1000_kindlephoto-131763424.jpg
 
Water main broke in our city. We were told if you don’t have good water pressure at home you must boil the water.

there is no problem with water pressure at my rental but I didn’t take any chances tonight. I drank and rinsed my toothbrush with bottled water. I also boiled water for the few dishes I had.

the big concern is our local hospital is affected and maybe some of our at-home patients in town.
 
Ate Nashville-style (hot) fried chicken with my partner. We never eat anything fried so it was our "cheat" day.

Reached out to our gardener to say that our plants needed to be replaced since our temps are dropping. We have about a million pots with "drips" around our patio, as well as some flowers in our front yard. It usually take weeks for him to stop by, but he was here immediately and replaced everything, so we are ready for winter. Lots of Pansies and Ornamental Kale adorning our patio and yard. I have to be surrounded by the beauty of plants and flowers to stay happy!

Dentist this morning to have an old filling replaced. Mrs. T has the optician (strictly speaking, the Optometrist) this afternoon.
In between we'll take a load of garden wast to the recycling centre. Medley of fish (tuna, monkfish and prawns) for dinner this evening.

I feel your discomfort....I will be having 3 crowns replaced in Dec. I'm not looking forward to it! Good luck!

Getting ready to go to the doctor to have my cast removed and replaced, hopefully with a smaller one.

Managed a five mile walk yesterday, everything but my arm seems to be getting back to normal. It may be awhile though before I can go back to weight lifting at the gym. Not the end of the world.

I miss going to the gym! Hopefully, you'll be back to it in no time!
 
Good morning!
*The rain has stopped. ☔....
*There is not a cloud in the sky. 🌞....
*The coffee is ready. ☕....
*Andy is sleeping in his basket.

Waiting for a food delivery.
When it arrives I will probably take a stroll to the pub.

Might be a pub I know ... :D depends where in North Herts you are ..good to hear you're feeling well enough to get out and about..(y)

I was in the pub myself today for lunch, had a small all day brunch and a coffee... Had a meeting for a couple of hours... then later I got my nails done at the salon...

deposited £30 of pennies at the bank.. and realised afterwards it almost covered the price of my nails, so I was barely out of pocket for them ...result!! 😁

Bought some Cotton Candy Grapes at the supermarket and a new burnt orange patterned blouse, but it's got to go back because it's too small...the worrying thing is, that it looked really big on the hanger, so maybe I need to get on a diet quick smart...

Three of them need replacing at the same time? Ugh.:confused::eek::oops::rolleyes:

I wonder if this is something we should try to avoid, ;)
similar to replacing all 4 tires on a car, which seems great when doing it, but increases the likelihood that they'll all need replacing, the next time that any of them have a problem.?:geek:

Yea....they are maybe 30 years old, and need to be replace (sometimes I feel that way myself!). They will do 2 the first time, not sure when the last one will get done. If the new ones last for another 30 years, I should be ok.
