Well I'm pleased you went and if you're anything like me it will take you a week to recover, but it's something you owe to yourself when you were once..like me.. someone who never stayed home, and always out socialising... you do have to give yourself a little jump start now and again,now that for whatever reason we've stopped our socialising ways .. and I bet you got home, pleased you had a good time, but sighing with relief that you don't ever have to do it again... :LOL:

Well said.

Though I still quite enjoy large parties, I recall my mom and in-laws getting to the point where they were closer to endurance tests than fun events.

@Pepper, I'm glad you went and experienced the day, and even gladder your son is so well attuned and compassionate about your lowered tolerance for loud events with large groups of people.
 

Well, today Hubby and I went to a store that has gluten-free food which my daughter has to eat. He went into the store and I waited in the car.I opened the window and finally took off my mask. A gentleman came out of the store, looked at me, and said "At last, I got to see a beautiful woman ." I rolled up my window again because he scared me. At my age, I am not a beautiful woman. When my husband came out of the store I told him. He yelled what car did he get in, I'm going to teach him a lesson. Luckily I didn't have any idea what car he got in. That's all I would have needed was my husband to get in a fight.

My husband has always been the jealous type. We would go to dances 3 nights a week many many years ago when we were dating. I was allowed to dance to fast dances with his friends but slow dances only with him. He got soo made when I was dancing a fast dance with his friend and he thought the friend got too close to me. From then on he even danced the fast dances with me.
 
Today I sold my first thing on Facebook Marketplace, it was very exciting, but I wasn't totally independent - my daughter didn't want me meeting a stranger even in a grocery parking lot, and also I needed her to help find my venmo name. The buyer said it was his first time buying anything off Marketplace too.
I haven't made much progress clearing out the house, but I did have a practice staging in the back seat of my car of the cat carrier, box-about-size-of-litterbox, scratching 'lounge', and couple containers. My car is going to be more full than I would like, but at least it looks like the giant cat scratcher lounger will fit. I hope my cat appreciates what I do for him! ha ha

I'm continuing the apparently endless task of getting all the family photo albums up in the cloud. I found this picture amusing because my great-uncle dressed up for some family thing by wearing a white shirt and tie under his overalls!

Today had me realizing I really need to get out more and do stuff outside my place. I went out to lunch with my brother, my SIL, and had a really nice meal and good conversation. They were talking about how they may move from the west coast elsewhere in time because some of my family is moving around again now... I told them they are always welcome to come back to Ohio. My SIL didn't like hearing that even though I said it in the nicest way. She said "No! once you move from here you don't come back!" I didn't say anything to that but many people do move back here. My mother did years ago to help her mother out.

When I got back home I gave little Suzy dog a piece of fish I saved for her. She was overjoyed! I may do a little laundry tonight. Thinking of having a cup of coffee to wake me up--I felt sleepy for awhile.

Anyhow, I really liked getting out today and being with family again. I've got to do a few other things besides grocery shopping. That's a chore and I deserve to have some fun yet. It was so good to get away from my apt. for an hour or so. I'm cooped up here far too much. I was getting cabin fever. I hope to take the dog for a much longer walk this weekend when it will be warm outside.

It was cold, very cold, here today. My outdoor plans were scrubbed and replaced with the intention of doing a lot of things inside. Hasn't happened yet BUT I'm somewhat of a night owl so there's still hope that I will be productive🤞

I know what you mean, Leann, I am up late many nights, too. Sometimes I get things done and sometimes I don't so I watch a movie. I hope your weather improves soon!

Hi @Ruthanne. My productivity improved as the day wore on. I did some general housework (vacuuming, laundry, dishes) that I do every day plus I posted some things on the internet for sale. If the temperatures moderate tomorrow, I hope to do some work outside for a bit.

I've been retired just under a month and I am loving every single minute of it!

It's always a bonus to have a productive day or night. I need to do those chores you mentioned, too. I did start my dusting, though. Our weather, too, is going to get better. It's supposed to be 70 Sat. and 80 Sunday. Do you do gardening?
 
My power was out all day yesterday. Finally came back on at 8 while I was literally praying for it to come on. It was cold and I was bundled up but my poor bunny acted like he was cold. He kept going to the heater and then looking at me. All of a sudden the lights on top of the kitchen cupboard flashed on and the refrigerator started running.........music to my ears! Lots of people in my surrounding area are still without power this morning. Being cold and losing your food is no joke.

I was hearing a lot from my friends up north about your weather. Read there was 17,000 in Chenango county with no power. Sorry you had to endure that too. Some of the pictures we unbelievable.
 
What i'm going to do today......
Trying to figure out why Mother Nature is so unhappy.
Going to have a lot less frustration today than i had yesterday
When i shut down my desktop Mac on Monday nite.......everything was fine.......turned on yesterday morning.......my mouse and tracking pad wouldn't stay connected...:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:.
Gave up after a while.....walked away.....left it.
Couldn't even shut it down last nite.
So.......i used my ipad all day.
This morning......clicked with my mouse.....everything working good ??????????
There was a report on my screen, referring to a problem.......clicked on report.
Still working.......
That's one of the reasons i like Mac / Apple.......they usually fix their own issues. (y)

Going to continue looking out the window, looking at all our snow and keep wondering........why ???????.......it is now April 20.......big taste of Climate Change.

Doing my usual cleaning chores.....and some extra cleaning.
