Wow. We sure are a bunch of travelers in the fast lane🏎️. Read back a few posts. Laundry, haircut, emptying the trash, etc...jussayin':ROFLMAO:

I did start cutting the cannas back, but only got about a third of the way through. There are 20 big plants. 20.

20 canna plants must be gorgeous when they are in bloom!:oops::D(y)
I even love the large leaves on those, when not blooming, too. :)

Since many of us are living such exciting lives, as you pointed out :LOL:
perhaps I should mention that I hand-washed a pair of fleece socks,;)
to keep my feet warm and comfy-toasty, in bed. :giggle:

And another highlight to my day:
My wonderful helper dropped a bag on the floor, that had 2 dozen eggs in it.:oops::rolleyes:o_O :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:
So I needed to put most of them, into the freezer.:sneaky:
I am very glad I learned how to do that, about a year ago,
right here at SF! :love:
Where we learn from each other, how to improve our exciting lives.

Btw, Guess what we had for breakfast, today?😁
 
@Kaila! How exciting. Hand washed fleece socks. Rescued two dozen eggs and froze them. You live a lot more exciting life than the rest of us.

Re the cannas: yeah, they are stunning in the summertime. Red, coral, yellow, pink.
 

Today, I saw schoolkids, 3 boys and 3 girls who were larking about on a busy road.
Two girls were chucking things at one of the boys when he stepped off the pavement, and backed into the road and the oncoming traffic.
By some miracle the driver of a car must have stood on his brakes and stopped inches away from the boy, if it had been me driving that car I think my reflexes being slower, I'd probably of hit the boy.
I was amazed that the youngster didn't hold up his arms and apologise to the driver for his sillyness, instead, he walked around the car kicking it and hurling abuse at the driver.
If I'd been 20 years younger, I'd of walked over there and given the cheeky young blighter a good kick up the backside.
 
@Lewkat, is this first time you’ve had that done on that lens?

Today. Paid bills, played bridge online, planned a menu for Sunday company. DH & I did the grocery shopping together so we could get in and out quickly. When I rush, I don’t stop to consider the logic of buying items. My fridge is too full.
 
I couldn't sleep, got up to have some broth; Now, I'm checking in, here at SF, mainly to change my mental focus, then will go back to bed...it's nearing 5 a.m....

My area is due to change abruptly, tomorrow (today?)
on Sat afternoon, from Autumn to full Winter, with several inches of sudden snow, now expected.
I don't mind. I'm stocked up on essentials.

Yes, Jules and I hope it is the only time. I couldn't stand that blurring at all. I asked the doctor if it would recur and he said only in very rare instances.

I did all that I am going to do today. I am now in bed, unfortunately I have flossed and cleaned my teeth so more chocolate is out of the question.:ROFLMAO:
Today, I exercised some patience with my handsome pirate, who wanted to dress up the front porch with fairy lights, now that the tree is up.
So he went down to the pen, got boxes of lights that we use on the boat when having a party onboard. Put them all up by himself, saying he thought I needed a break. How sweet! Enjoy your day all!
💚🧡💛💜
 
Have spent the week doing doctor appointments, getting Joey settled in his new group home, and meetings about Joey with various people both in person and on the phone. Today we go over to organize his room better, hopefully.

Replace an old chest of drawers with a newish one, take over a bookcase, buy the curtains he wanted and hang them, take him, and his roommates lunch, get more groceries for him and some for the roommates, and on and on and on. It’s never ending and I don’t feel too good myself.

And there are not enough hours in the day. Plus it’s 18 degrees and I’d like to stay home under a blanket and be warm. Poor Stella has been locked up most of the week in her crate (she has pee issues plus she eats her poop 🤮). So we can’t leave her out to play. In fact, I got up at 2am just to give her lots of play time before we have to take off. It’s not like I sleep anyway.

Still got to get a couple Xmas gift card presents, wrap a few CDs that I have for Joey. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Take my other kid his presents and Sunday have lunch with oldest son and his girlfriend. I did less before I retired.

And yes, as predicted, husband wants to buy a new house, actually townhouse. We have been looking at those as well. And will run over and look at one this morning before we start doing everything else. Just what I wanted, another house with stairs. I can barely contain my excitement. 🤬

I want the three level one we saw. He can live on the upper level, I can live in the basement, and the dog can have the middle. 😂
 
On my early walk at 6:30,it was 35 outside,went to store to get some milk. I was wearing my boots because snow/sleet/rain is in the forecast It started snowing a couple minutes after I came home
My plans for the day vacuuming furntiture,laundry. If its not bad later this morning I'll try to walk around the apt complex just to get some fresh air
 
Went over to the big island (Puerto Rico) on the car ferry with our friends two days ago. Made the trip to CostCo, and stocked up on food. Also had to get car inspection to get our cars yearly registration completed. Didn't have our car, so had to pay $20 instead of the $11.00 if you have the car. When in Rome kind of deal. Worked out, and did 2 mile beach walk yesterday, and a few small chores. Getting everything ready to pressure wash, and apply 25 gallons of elastomeric roof coating to 3000sf of roof. Usually takes me 3-4 days to complete, if the weather cooperates. Mike
 
A little last-minute Christmas shopping, then home to wrap (uh-oh, gotta rustle up some scotch tape =( to avoid going back to the store)

Now I'm going to sit back, sip chai and re-watch another episode of "Endeavour" I especially enjoy Roger Allam's character, Fred Thursday.

Well, Thanks to my Hubby I have been crying for the last hour. He was looking for a letter he needed and came across papers and pictures of mine from years ago. One was a letter written to me by my older brother from 2002. My brother had passed away 5yrs ago. In the letter, he apologized for not keeping in touch with me and my sister for years. He said that we were doing a wonderful job taking care of our Mom and he was sorry that he wasn't doing anything for her. There were also pictures of my Mom's younger brother. He was slow and called me Bunny Rabbitt and gave me a kiss every time he visited. There were also notes my husband wrote me from when we met. There was even a story my sister wrote in High School and was put in one of the yearbooks. There are two funny things also. My footprint at birth and my sisters. I called her after I got done crying and told her "Boy did our feet get big." Now I'm going to copy them and send them to her so she can cry too.
 
I'm preparing for a family supper next week, extra cleaning....mostly prepared food...anyway I'm somewhat stressed and fearful about covid..:confused:..I'll just have to eliminate hugs and kisses, and hope that's enough...I have all my shots not sure about the others.

What a beautiful and heart-touching story!
 
Had our last Zoom meeting of the year with our writers' group. We had written stories about our best Christmases along with poems that we read aloud. Decided to record it and share later with the rest of the group. We ended the meeting with a Christmas sing-along. It was a feel-good moment.
