What are you doing today?

Today is turning out to be a good day. I woke up in the middle of the night like I have for the last almost...month. I finally filled my two pill cases that I'd been putting off for a few days. I like company when I'm doing that but seeing as how I'm alone, I re-watched the Sinbad special on Amazon Prime "Sinbad Where U Been?" while doing it. Soooo funny! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I played Words with Friends and Cody Cross like I usually do after breakfast. A dear online friend (for at least 16 years) who both my DIL and I formed close bonds with even though we've never met in person, called me again today and we had a nice, fun conversation. After nice compliments about my music, she told me how she had bought two of my CDs and both were stolen by people she knew. I had to laugh because a few people told me they had the same thing happen to them. LOL Of course that made me feel good.

Shortly after we got off the phone my son texted me to let me know he was broadcasting live today for the first time in months. He needed to do this and his fans are so happy he's back playing his Deep Afro Soul House Music mixes. The music sounds great (some is Jazzy, some Chillaxing, some ambient and most of it danceable). Since it's audio and video, I get to see him do his masterful spinning which is comforting. There's also a chat feature to keep us all engaged. After he signs off I have to take out the garbage and go to the post office to pick up packages. I'll also have to check in online for my first doctor tele-visit tomorrow. I hope to be able to relax and watch T.V. later.

I had that done on the outside thigh a few years ago and it was slow healing as well. I wonder if the thigh does not heal well in general.

I have that issue with spelling. I can think of the word I want but can’t spell it and Alexa does not like the way I pronounce it so I have to use another word. 😂😂. Or I just can not think of the word, and sit and sit and sit, trying to think of a different word. Life is so hard.

Funny how some of our tech stuff reacts to us sometimes.
The voice on my google nest hub almost sounds annoyed with me when i'm on a roll for correct spelling......and if i'm not quick enough to type the spelling, and have to ask again. :unsure::cautious::rolleyes:🤨🤪😜🙃

This is true. Alexa will sometimes ask me if I would like that spelled again. 😱. So annoying.

I wanted to come too, but perhaps you might make another separate trip to LegoLand, just to take @Aneeda72 and myself? :D:D

We promise, we'll be good. Well, moderately good....hmmm....
Intermittently good? :LOL::ROFLMAO::giggle::rolleyes::sneaky:

Well, that would be a vast improvement over the Heatherns (my grandma's term for me and my sisters) but it's all or none for a trip to Legoland.
 
What started out to be a nothing day turned into a sort of fun day. DD and I went to the credit union this morning so I could do my "Christmas shopping", then dropped DGD off at work and...went shopping. Shopping. Me. Not for groceries or anything like that. Actually going into two different stores and looking at stuff.

The two stores we went to had deep, deep discounts on everything and especially on anything related to Christmas. In one store where we rarely shop because it's so pricey, I found two nice name-brand sweaters that I can wear to work for less than $25 for both and in Kohl's found a dressier sweater for $14.99 including tax. When we got to the checkout discovered that I had $15 in Kohl's "cash" that I'd forgotten about so the sweater was "free" and there's still a penny left in Kohl's cash:) Guess I'll save that to p*ss away on something frivolous another time:ROFLMAO:

I've started double masking. Saw on the news this morning that Omicron is lurking everydamnwhere. One of the epidemiologists said that folks who haven't been vaccinated and boostered should expect to be sick sometime in the next six weeks. I've been vaxxed and boostered but still double masking in hopes that I will be left unscathed.

My personal opinion is that since God gave us the brains to develop a vaccine and a booster, we should vaccinate and boost. So I did💉

My "weekend" is Sunday and Monday. This is Monday. My weekend is almost over😥

Yep, that's what I did, when I decided to just settle for the word, scrape, even though I knew it wasn't what I meant, but in order to post my post, I had to have a word (some word? any word? :rolleyes::giggle::LOL:)

Gosh, @dobielvr
That's difficult when we lose more than one of our connections at once! :confused: And for days! :(
That sounds great, about them splitting those lines!:)

I had physical therapy today.
Then time for a pedicure. Stopped and got Mexican food afterwards at a place near by.

What I'm really supposed to be doing today is making some cheese berags. I better get my fanny in gear, cause I
have to make a trip to the pharmacy way across town to pick up my hormones at 4.30 It's 3 now.

See ya...going to go get started. 👋

I had thought you might be very happily busy with the arriving of your friend. I didn't remember the timing of that.
In any case, It's great to see you! Glad you dropped by here!:)

@Shero
I don't think the eye lubricating drops have anything to do with that type of moisture that forms behind the lenses after cataract surgery.
The drops would act like extra teardrops, that are on the surface.:geek:

Kaila......thanks for the greeting.
As far as being happily busy with the arrival of the mentioned friend......
Back towards the end of October, i made a post under the title.....There are no guarantees.....in relationships and family.
A few days before he was to leave for here.......i got DUMPED.
Thanks for the thought.
It's a tough life, but somebody has to live it.

Bought 2 of these yesterday at Bunnings for $23 each for two special friends.


Protea
These Native flowers whilst grown in Australia are technically not Native to this country. They actually originate from Southern Africa. They do however belong to the same family as Australia’s native Waratahs, Grevilleas and Banksia so if you want a pure Australian native flower stay away from the Protea. It would, however, be a shame as they are a particularly impressive-looking native flower and they really turn a bunch of flowers you send into something far more impressive.

Better to be dumped than live over 50 years with someone you wished had dumped you. 🥺
 
Another afternoon spent working on Joeys room. Couple more or four days and it should be good. Might have to make another trip to IKEA though. Bought frames with plastic instead of glass for his pictures. A few storage containers as well.

Apparently removing a door from a closet is a big deal. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh, well. Will work with it.

The guys there, including staff, are so much nicer. The staff struggles with English as they all seem to be from African nations. They are only male staff, which Joey loves.

At the last group home, it was all female staff who struggled with English; and they were from middle eastern countries. English speakers appear to be in short supply. 😂
 
Oh gosh, @MickaC
I am sorry that fell through, and after you'd been anticipating something very good, it must have been very disappointing. :confused:
I am also sorry that I must have missed that posting of yours, but I did notice that you hadn't given us follow-up, or so I thought, since I'd missed that thread.

I'm glad you came back to SF, today. It is good to see you!:)

What are these?

Finishing up my day, 3 loads of laundry later. We picked up takeout for lunch - understatement to say it was disappointing, other than the fact I didn’t have to make it. A very quick trip to the mall for a drop off and then to the grocery store. They’ve rearranged everything and it either was out of stock or in a different place. I wasn’t wasting my time being exposed to strangers.

Our temperatures haven’t plummeted as much as expected yet. Still, it managed to curtail the time spent walking. I’m not designed for cold weather. Brrrr.

So sorry that happened to you but I agree with what @Aneeda72 said. He showed you who he is before you invested any more time, commitment and emotions. Re: your comment "Funny how some of our tech stuff reacts to us sometimes." It sure IS! My Android speech to text feature will not print the word sh*t....it uses the S then three asterisks. LOL NO that's not how I wanted to express myself, so I have to back out the asterisks and type out the word. :ROFLMAO: There have also been some epic fails with the speech to text feature. One I won't even put here now but it was no where near what I said!
 
Another day, another day.
Always the same, when I book my car in to have work done , no matter if I do it days in advance, (I booked it in last Friday, for Tuesday,) it is never ready until half an hour before closing.
I dropped it off at 8 am and have to wait until at least 4.30 pm.
So I go to Maccas for breakfast, spend two and a half hours there. Move onto the shopping centre, spend two and a half hours there.
Now I am back at Maccas, coffee and a sandwich. Time is 2.37pm.

They are little pockets of cheese and parsley. May be like a pierogi.

I will be using both...phyllo dough, and puff pastry as my choice of the doughy part. I'll put the cheese filling inside, then shape it in to a triangle, spread a little butter on top w/a pastry brush and bake them.

Fingers crossed!! 🤞
 
Read the report on my, my health, and yup the biopsy showed a deeper skin cancer with mitotic activity. Waiting for doctor to call to see if it needs more surgery. 🤦🏻‍♀️ With my ”luck”, it will. At least it’s on the side of my face that is already scarred.
 
I'm exhausted. Yesterday, got up so early, left early (for me, not for most people) stayed with grandson from 10am-5:30pm; tomorrow the same but from 10-6:30pm. Being with my grandson all day is not what's hard, it is the coming & going that is so tiring for me; so hard to do that I get panic attacks over it.

I'm tired all the time. It leads to fear & panic much too often. Even when there is no reason, I realize I'm all clenched & tense.

I'm hating the idea of doing it all again tomorrow even though I love being with my grandson. So fed up with myself for being this way. Plus, now I feel guilty for putting it into words.
