I've had 'happy feet' because I haven't had to wear my winter boots for 2 days,because of warm temps,snow is almost all gone On my early morning walk around 6:30,light rain had ended temp was already at 60,but was getting windy.
This morning my close friend, Marcia is picking me up to go to church because of the winds,rain in forecast. My other plans for the day,read local paper,at 2pm a church meeting via zoom{we do this every other Sun} with other church members. It usually lasts an hr,then call my brother.We talk every Sun
 

We're cutting up a couple of big Texas Red Cedar dead limbs that fell down. Don't you just love the smell of red cedar? When hub cuts them up I can't wait to grab a piece and get a big whiff. They burn very nicely in the fireplace, too. Took the big ferns out of the garage and hung them on the back deck - will be putting them back in at the end of this week maybe if the "blue norther" cold blast comes down this far south.

Studying the back deck (upper and lower) - we'll scrub it and throw a coat of "wet and forget" on it.
Made cinnamon rolls yesterday...still fresh this morning.

Have a great day doing whatever keeps you happy!
 
Dry but overcast and quite chilly today. Since we now have to have lots of different not to mention expenisve bulbs for our light fittings these days.. I have quite a lot of varied types of light bulbs including bulbs for the car... for the lamps, for hive for ceiling lights.. etc.. so I bought 2 new storage boxes ( they're made from recycled cardboard and covered in a tweed like cloth and have lids).. and are very spacious and so I was able to decant the 2 plastic storage boxes of bulbs into the one..

Then I went into the garden, and tried to clear up all the moss that had rained down from the roof over the last 3 days of heavy downpours.. and cleared up the plants post and general tidying. Noticed next doors dividing privacy fence which they just put up 3 years ago has split and broken and is now leaning into their garden. Trouble is it's a rental, and the family who moved in just after the garden and house was renovated aren't likely to inform the landlord the fence is broken, so I may have to call him myself. However the landlord is a tight-wad, and he might not be in any hurry to fix it.. this is where I miss my husband, because he would have repaired it immediately he saw it, despite it not being our fence..
It's not unsightly to me because I have a 6 foot hedge in front of it.. but I know that it's there and eventually that one panel will bring the other panels down too...
 
.....just taking it easy today, I'll probably watch some movies later.
I had a problem with Netflix yesterday, it would not click on, had to call in for help.....got an asian with heavy accent. and me hard of hearing...lol....think chaotic....anyway after many repeats and restarts it's up going....had to uninstall and reinstall.
Happy Sunday to everyone!

I always end up thanking the person on the other end whenever I have to call for assistance w/my TV.
I never know what I'm doing or what they're asking me to do lol!

I must drive them crazy and they're always so patient.

My neighbor just came over to say that he is thinking of moving.....I am thinking of ways to prevent that.

I will bake a cake and tell him no more cake, I don't deliver.

We have a really nice next door neighbor who has said that she is thinking of downsizing and moving away. My husband has been really nice to her, shoveling her walks and helping her with minor repairs. We would hate to lose her! Maybe I should start baking her some cakes, lol!

Re the thumb
Thanks all for kind comments and wishes,
Just had a really bad couple of days trying to accept it.
I am still blaming Docs for allowing it to go so far and resulting in this. They know of my previous cancer history.
Another cyst has already formed right beside the graft. I may even lose the thumb

All that pain, worry and discomfort for this.
Meantime I wait for appointment for the radiation which incidentally will not be at my local hospital so travel involved too.
And so it goes on...the waiting.....

Sending good thoughts your way!
 
On my early walk at 6:40,it was lightly raining temp was 40,yesterday's high was 67
I'm still enjoying not wearing my boots since majority of the snow has melted-YIPPEE!
This morning is my weekly call to Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are doing. When I was in the office 2 weeks ago, Wendy our volunteer director assigned me with 3 new members. I was able to talk to 2 of them last week,introduced myself&welcomed them,they were happy to get the call I now have 14 people to call every MOn
I plan to take a mid morning walk afterwards if its not raining too hard,just to get some fresh air/exercise,no other plans for the day,read NYT/local paper ,play a couple games on my smartphone. After dinner tackle NYT daily crossword puzzle
 
Celebrated "Merry Marchness" (belated Christmas) with our kids, grands and a DIL's parents last night. Everyone had such a great time. The crazy sock grab bag was a massive hit, as was the assemble-your-own spring rolls meal. (Dinner that's also kind of a craft? What's not to love?)

We have a large dining room table so seating a dozen all together wasn't a problem.

As I've said many times on this board, DH and I love, love, love hosting informal, somewhat chaotic parties, and yesterday's was exactly that!

As for today, the house is clean and there are plenty of leftovers in the fridge. Will do some (business) work, but am generally looking forward to a relaxing day.
 
So far the day looks promising. Looks like the sun is trying to shine. That always puts me in a good mood for the day. Now that I have looked out the window I see we did have a sprinkling of snow during the night. Not much though. I have the appointment this morning downstairs in the manager office to re-certify and other than that not sure what I will be doing.

I hope you all have a super day!
 
It's a beautiful sunny day albeit cold in the wind. I've got rid of a bunch of stored stuff in the estranged o/h's office.. trash day tomorrow.. !

Todays' been the day when everyone official wants my attention.. I've had 3 phone calls and 2 emails today, that had to be dealt with staright away... I was on the phone to one person for a whole hour trying to get a certain thing organised...thankfully they called me and not the other way around

I was going to go out today to the city but now it's 1pm, I won't bother, the schools will be out in 2 hours so the traffic will become horrendous from then on...

Very rainy day here in Florida. 11 am appointment at the chiropractor’s today. Need to go to BJ’s warehouse and stock up on several things and get the car gassed up. Not looking forward to the gas prices.

This is the problem now , due to the price of fuel, I don't go out anywhere nearly as much as I would usually, just simply can't afford the price of fuel to idly drive around as I've always done in the past...and although I can just about afford the fuel to get me to where I need to go... I'm using the car very much less for leisure purposes.
I've decided that I'm going to start using public transport more. The train station isn't too far , I can park there and take the train into London... cheaper than buying fuel for the car for the same distance

Absolutely Holly. My little 4 cylinder car will need $40 or more to fill. Way over our budget. Never in my life have I spent over $200 for groceries. But that’s what it cost us yesterday. Just the beginning I fear.
