What are you doing today?

Today, I'll be making some hard phone calls.

I lost another sister yesterday. She had been undergoing radiation treatment for her recurring cancer but had been doing well and was feeling much better. She was found in her apartment, having died some hours earlier.

She was my foster sister and a best friend since third grade. When her parents died tragically, she and her younger sister came to live with us, thus a bond that went beyond friendship.

I have to call a bunch of mutual old friends and let them know.

I feel like I've lost another chunk of my heart.

Today had me realizing I really need to get out more and do stuff outside my place...

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.

These parts of your post resonated with me. Although I've seen my children and their families every week-ish throughout the past couple of years, in-person connections with my friends have been disturbingly rare. It's time to start breaking the Covid isolation habit. Should another dangerous variant rear its ugly head, I can respond accordingly. For now, it seems relatively safe out there.

Your post inspired me to text a couple of my long-time GFs in hopes of setting up a lunch date next week. There are plenty of restaurants with outdoor patios and the weather is gloriously accommodating right now.

Thanks for the little push!

I hate to make a post right after a sad post...😔

However, my day has been pretty good . It's another beautiful sunny hot day here..🌞🌻🌺🌷. (now almost 6.30pm)... and I went out to see my friend who had a day off today so it was nice to sit in her garden and chat for an hour... then I had to drive to the Hair salon at the college , and make an appointment and get a skin test done before the colour that's going in tomorrow... gonna have it cut as well, not sure if I'm going to just have it trimmed or go the whole hog and have it cut short.. I'll decide when I'm in the chair tomorrow..

Very hot in the car today, and my AC needs re-gassing..so I had the windows open, with the fan on.. ..drove over to the next town..( we're now on town 3).. to have my nails done... ..then picked up a few little bits from the nearby supermarket and headed home.
Managed to get some fuel today on the way home , first available in over a week...but I already had 3/4 of a tank..so it only needed topping up a little bit, and that came to an eye watering £19.30 😫

Went to the Boyndie centre today for lunch. The Boyndie centre was created from an old Victorian school with the aim of teaching skills and providing employment for adults with 'special needs'. Now it has a top class restaurant serving locally produced food, a garden centre and 6 acres of parkland. A path leads to the site of RAF Banff (locally known as Boyndie drome), an important WW2 station, but now a 'wind farm'.

Please post a photo after you get your hair done tomorrow!
 
Today has been like almost every day for me. My Husband is picking on me and so is my daughter. I just got off the phone with her and she complained that I didn't go with my husband to Home depot. She said I let him go out too much. Then she started telling me he does more than I do around the house.So here I sit

You what? You "let" him go out too much? Let? And he does more around the house than you do? So? Either of those affect her exactly how? And tell your DH to ease up or I'll come up there and have a word with him. Or maybe a couple of words. Bad words. I'll tell him how the cow ate the cabbage. Or maybe even where the bear sh!t in the buckwheat. So there. One doesn't trifle with Gramma!
 
Woke up around the time my son was getting ready for work (2:45 a.m.). I went downstairs and washed clothes at 4 a.m., started drying them (in my apartment) at 6:30. I still have a couple of items to dry. I folded the clothes as soon as I took them out of the dryer but haven't put them away yet.

Met our new maintenance man since he came over to check my leaky bathroom faucet. Turns out I'll have to buy a new faucet and schedule the repair. After eating lunch and a brief nap, I walked over to the supermarket and got a few things. Had to use the self check out today because the line for the one register that was open was too long. They really are trying to get people to use the self check outs more. At least I've gotten used to it now. I used to hate those things.

As usual...playing several games of Words With Friends and trying to catch up on social networking. I'll get back to watching at least one of my shows and more of a movie I started a little later.

Got somewhat steamed from how you’re being treated......you DO NOT deserve to be ridiculed that way......I wish for them to stop. BIG HUGS FOR YOU. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🫂
 
@hollydolly I say throw caution to the winds and get a new do tomorrow. Something entirely different than what you (and others might) expect. Maybe super short? And how about some color? Take a walk on the wild side. Why not? Hair grows. If you don't like it after you get used to it, it'll grow out and you can go back to the same old Hollydolly. Keep in mind that YOLO!

When you're done, post a pic. We all wanna see the new Hollydolly.
