A lazy-day-with-no-agenda for me.... Need to pick up a few items from the grocery store so I can make soup, baked apples, corn bread over the next couple days before I return to work but other than that, 2 books from which to choose, hot cocoa when the rain arrives, watching musical/ dance videos on YouTube, sipping coffee, maybe some line dancing when I get stiff from sitting =)
 

I'm finally going to put the few Christmas decorations away that I put out. I would have done it sooner but the hubby was enjoying the little tree I put in his sitting room.
I'm glad to see them go. Not being able to be with my daughter and grandkids due to illness was depressing for me.
We still haven't exchanged gifts so I will stick them in the closet and hopefully we can get together soon.
 
Here I am. Did anybody notice that I was MIA for a couple of days?

It was a hard, hard week at work. Supervisor out sick. No direction, no instructions, no help. I'm still exhausted. Couldn't keep the displays and shelves filled so mostly we were selling from an empty wagon. Thought my supervisor had been diagnosed with covid, but apparently seasonal flu and bronchitis. He's supposed to be back tomorrow. I'm not scheduled again until Tuesday, thank heaven. Maybe it will be enough time for him to forgive me for not getting everything done.

Yesterday morning Maggiecat barfed on the bed. Now all the linens are clean again after a mere four days on the bed. Oh...all the linens? Yup. Even the mattress pad and the bedspread. Couldn't get mad at Maggiecat. She's just a kitty. Obviously, she was a sick kitty.

Put away my few little Christmas decorations this morning and glad to get the mess cleaned up. Well. Mostly cleaned up except for dusting, of course. Dusting is an exercise in futility, right?

Our weather has turned from unseasonably warm and dry to...wet, wet, wet. The temps have started dropping already. It was 71 when I got up at 5 this morning and is down to 61 now. By morning? A crisp 32 with a high daytime temp of 41. Winter has finally arrived in the South.

I am a bit concerned about, and I hope we will soon hear from @GeorgiaXplant OR @Georgiagranny (same person)

She was having trouble with her sign-in and passwords, the past week,
AND, her GD (granddaughter) sick with Covid, and herself being tested on Thursday, and I don't think we have heard from our Georgia, since then.:confused:

Sure did! Glad to see you now!
 
The past few days there were strong (and howling) north winds and bitter cold and some snow. I was freaking out about all the cold drafts from the windows and doors. I carried in a ladder from the garage and put plastic over a couple more of the windows, and put some strings of removable caulk-like stuff along edges of some windows.
Now I'll wait and see how long it takes me to carry the ladder back out to the garage. It is weird how I can just not notice things for a very long time.
 
It's 51 deg f here... don't have any heating on, it's very mild for the time of year...but it's dull with just a faint blue sky

Today is a Holiday, so nothing much happening.. I was going to take a whole load of stuff to the recycle centre, but I realised that today it will be very busy with people getting rid of all their Christmas stuff... so I'll wait until later in the week..maybe tomorrow before I go to the dentist ..

I wish we had coffee bars and cafes' near here.. and I could take a walk to them... that's the drawback of living in the country, nothing nearby...

What kind of holiday is it there Holly.
 
I was really tired last night went to bed around 10:15,when I first woke up around 5,turned over next thing I knew it was 6:40
On my early morning walk around 7,knew it would be cold outside,wore flannel pants/boots. It was 16 but no wind felt refreshing,walked halfway down the street
This morning is my usual call to Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are.Afterwards take another walk since the sun will be out but won't feel warm since the temps will be in the 20's. The rest of my day read NYT,my book,tonight watch on Food Channel 'Kids Baking Championship'. I'm always impressed with these talented young bakers. This yr's group of kids is the youngest they ever have ages from 8-10
 
Was thinking about doing a grocery run this morning.
Checked weather forecast ,, think I'll go another day.

Will fight with the washer this morning.
Appears the door lock controls the whole washer.

When its locked washer runs,, but I think mine is loose,not making connections.
The last time had one put in was over $200.
Been looking at youtube to see how hard it is to replace.
Amazon show s the part I need & its not $200!
 
Today at 1pm I go to see a surgeon re a ghastly thingie on the front of my thumb ..right hand.
Very very painful and having to use left hand...lots of typos...
Started out as a crusty white pimple size of a small pea and because of location it got knocked and bumped and bled on and off.

Family Doc of course was unavailable for such a small pimply thing even though it was bleeding .
With my history of BCell lymphoma you would think..never mind.....
He said on phone appt. to treat with over counter creams
They did not help at all.

One had to be almost gasping for breath to actually get an in office appointment but finally he gave in an allowed me to visit him in clinic. He said he had never seen anything like it...all red and purple and swollen...wow....neither had I !
Shot it with his liquid nitrogen gun which just made it worse. Prescribed a cream which cost me sixty bucks and it got worse with that. By this time the size of a dime, hard, and the whole thumb inflamed. On antibiotics for a week.
Two weeks ago he says ....thats gotta come off !..really!

I was lucky to get in house appointment with plastic surgeon for his diagnosis
Sooo...wish me luck folks please...
