Your wife might need to practice that facial expression, which seems a must, to go with her new hat! :giggle: 👒

How perceptive of you Kaila. Thirty years a paramedic, my wife has seen, and heard, just about every cock & bull tale there is to tell. She has a practised "look." Whenever she knew what she was hearing was bull **it, she would allow her glasses to slide down the bridge of her nose and then peer over the rim with a stare that I can only describe as, pure napalm. Grown men squirm in their seat when on the receiving end.
 

After mammo & lunch we had time to kill before my husband‘s barber. That gave me over an hour to wander into some new stores. I didn’t buy anything but they did have some lovely things. It’s nearly spring, I don’t want to buy winter things. I definitely will go back to a couple them. The barber didn’t show up for the appointment so we went to another place. Took much too long. He may have to go back to the old place, even if the barber doesn’t wear the proper mask.
 
We just got back from our day of volunteering at the roller rink. We hosted a private birthday party in the morning, and it was really nice....close to 50 skaters.
Then, in the afternoon, we had the "open to the public" session. Most Sat afternoons there are about 70-80 skaters. Today, we had a church group come in also. All together, there were over 170 skaters!!! 😲. The place was packed, and everyone had so much fun!

Now, I'm tired. I'm going to read a few posts, then go to bed. Good night! 🌙

Got great news last Thursday-Joey came off oxygen. His levels still drop to 84 when he walks but since he is pretty inactive his doctor took him off the oxygen. I am not sure I agreed with the decision but Joey is very happy about it. Although he says he is tired. As his lungs heal more, things should improve.

I promised him a new pair of shoes which we buy at a speciality store and cost over 100 dollars. Today we went and got the shoes. He got a pair of bright red ones. 😳. Efforts to find a yellow brick road for hI’m to walk on-failed. 😂

I want to thank everyone who prayed for Joey. He is doing well and I am sure the prayers helped.

My other son is over omicron, just had a slight cold while others in his group home had to be hospitalized. Go figure.

Stella got over being spayed. It has been warm lately-in the 30’s and 40’s so we are taking long walks outside which we both love.

I am not going to be on the forum very often for a while. Don’t know how long. I seem to be sad and don’t feel like ”talking much”.

Missing you.
 
On my early morning walk around 6:45, didn't go far just walked back/forth on our driveway 2 times because it is a tad 'nippy' outside it was 10 degrees. The woman I usually go to church with left yesterday driving to Fla to visit family/friends. I'll be watching our church service at 10:30 on line instead
The rest of my day if I can motivate myself,clean the bathroom sink,read local paper.I may go out this afternoon for another short walk just to get some fresh air/exercise. I do know a few residents/friends instead of walking outside, when its really cold go into the heated gargage to get exercise I tried doing that once didn't like it, the smells got to me
 
Today I have been catching up on everything I neglected to do. Such as laundry. Which is all done now and hanging in my shower. Made a hot sausage and sauce dish for my lunch and will be for supper too. Did some organizing in my storage locker and hope to get some empty boxes out to the dumpster when I get out there this afternoon. Prepared my meal replacement drink for tomorrow and the next day. I usually have one a day, but didn't have time to do them yesterday.
 
Made a large omelet, sauteed onions and mushrooms, Chicken apple sausage, rosemary & thyme, sharp cheddar, and a little hot chili sauce for my once, or twice a week egg treat. cleaned up the kitchen. Back up to 4 miles for my daily walk yesterday. Waiting until a little later in the day to walk, when it's a bit warmer. Back in the shop and working on interior garage, and entry doors for the machine, and welding spaces. It's a beautiful, sunny day here. Hope your all having a great day. Mike
 
I've done almost nothing today.. except the laundry, and made dinner of Cod fillets and beans...other than that, Zilch, can you believe that ?...:D it's been raining very heavily all afternoon.. so I fell asleep for an hour, and then afterwards, I spent time doing some research on the internet.

Just had dinner..while watching an old repeat showing of Upstairs Downstairs on TV... almost 7.30pm now...
 
My good lady is in the process of making me a pair of trousers, they will be made from a strong, pure cotton, khaki material, her talent is amazing. To that end I just had to treat her. So, good friends of ours have a pub/restaurant on the edge of The New Forest:

Today we joined them for a traditional Sunday lunch, roast beef with all the trimmings.
Did I pig out, or what? How we love these two, they know exactly what customer service means.

34 days @hollydolly. Just 34 more days! 🌷

I get it about being alone on Valentine's Day. DH and I would have been married 33 years today💔 These past 13 years have been long and lonely without him.

On another note...IBM execs have called older workers dinobabies. I hope IBM execs all get warts and ugly toenail fungus. So I'm a dinobaby. So?

It's going to be a lovely day in the neighborhood even if not very warm (high temp of maybe 55). DD is going to take me to two garden centers to get stuff so that I can get a good start on the garden. Spring really is going to come; it does every year. I want to be prepared so if they're in stock yet, will get some flowering plants that don't mind cooler night temps or a light frost.

Today is my son's birthday, 52 years old. I can hardly believe he is that age already. Where did the time go?

Tonight will be our first potluck supper downstairs in the community room since Thanksgiving. Looking forward to it, even though I will be bringing my own food to eat. They always have a lot of good food, but not for someone who doesn't eat high carbs and sugar.

No real plans for my day, though I might scan in some photos on my computer.
 
Sorry......here i go again.
Snowed most of the day yesterday, just like forecasted, tried to keep the deck and dog paths cleared.....blew in overnite.
Will clear everything again this morning.
More GREAT NEWS......
Heavy snowfall tomorrow, thursday, friday and saturday. 🥺😩😢😭. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.
So, if i actually didn't say i'm shovelling.....that's what i will be doing.....till when.....till hell freezes over. 🥺
 
It's 2pm.. It's overcast and raining on and off ...so I'm leaving the car in the garage so I'm not tempted to go out on a whim...I haven't really got anything I need to go out for until Wednesday when I go to have my nails done at the Salon before my next day at work..

I've done some of the usual chores... and made several calls to offical bodies for various things..

I've made up little net pouches of gloriously perfumed Pot Pourri and placed them all strategically hidden in every room

I think I'm going to do a huge clear out of all my cleaning materials.. of which I have absolutely loads.. and just minimalise it all down to just One cleaning product for all surfaces, bleach, disinfectant, and scrubbing brushes & cloths.. rather than the dozens of various cleaners I have now cluttering up under my sink and in the store cupboard
 
Oh, goody! Just got back from the garden centers and got everything I needed. The only flowering plants they had were pansies, and I already have a crapton of those. It'll probably be another two or three weeks before there's anything else available.

I did find Ixia bulbs. Woohoo and stuff. I've been looking for them since forfreakingever. There are 40 to a package so I got two...12 bulbs per square inch...that'll make plenty among the other plants. Imagine. Ixia bulbs. I've wanted more for sooo long🙂

Oops. Meant 12 bulbs per square foot!
