Well, I got a bit carried away in the back garden. I hadn't intended to cut the hedges.. but.. I heard there may be showers tomorrow, so I got the long reach hedge trimmer out, and topped all the hedging... it's very heavy ( the hedge trimmer) so I had to keep stopping for a few seconds.. but I got it all done, and raked up.. but it's soo hot & humid today, I literally had sweat pouring down my face.. despite only having shorts and sleeveless top on... . My back is complaining now, so I may have to go and get a heat pad... but the garden is looking very pretty, bluebells are out, hydrangeas , and lilies are looking fab... I put a tiny drop of blue water dye in the bird bath, so it sparkles like a swimming pool in the sun , and the birds don't mind it at all...

Got the Debit card problem sorted out..all is ok..thank goodness..
 
I stayed in bed late this morning. I'd like to say that I "slept in", but my shoulder hurt too much for any sleep to be happening. 😢. So, once I got up, I started my new daily routine of PT. I manage to do about 1/3 of the exercises, before 🐐 has the coffee ready. Next is drink my ☕, and talk to my friend in Scotland. That's all done, so I will be making breakfast.

Other than more PT, I'm not sure what mischief I'll be getting into today.

Taking the van in to replace a cracked windshield.

Recovering from hosting these precious girls for the weekend at my brother's house (niece at the back). They had just finished makeovers in this pic. Lovely ladies ...too much teen energy though! Wish so that I still had it.

They are beautiful young ladies. Makeovers must've been fun. My granddaughter would have loved to be in on that! How she went from our "baby girl" to the gorgeous perfectly made up young lady she is now...still can't get over it ! Best of success to them all.
 
I have to put away the rest of yesterday's laundry. I mopped the floors this morning and will have to put down some Ortho Home Defense around the walls because I saw an ant in here yesterday. I do get ants every year. One year we had a breed that was so aggressive, I couldn't believe it. OHD took care of them in a couple of days. I have to go to the post office too. I hope I can make it in between the showers.

I had to call the Division of Pension and Benefits again. The application to change my Medicare plan from Open Access to PPO which I was assured went through (to Aetna) did not according to an Aetna representative. I was actually very pleasantly surprised that after the automated prompts were finished, I got a human immediately. Waits have been anywhere from 15 minutes to almost an hour. I'm feeling kind of tired so I hoping to just to relax and catch up on my T.V. watching later on.

It's been a lovely day today, warm but with a cool breeze. I bought another pair of Next 3/4 length leggings. Ladies (and gents of course) cropped, lightweight leggings are great for wearing under light summer dresses - what a shame they weren't available when Marilyn Monroe was with us, it would have saved her the embarrassment of showing off her knickers :eek:

Sounds nice to be working in your garden. I miss mine so like to hear about other gardens.
 
Continued to go through my house of stuff to sort for give away/throw away. When I got far down the towels in the second bathroom I came to towels that were folded like my mom did, so they must have been there unused all these years. I had to stop and hug a towel for a little.

I also had found a place that accepts wig donations for cancer patients, so I took my wig and fake hair bangs/fringes and a bunch of 'hairy hats' that I'd gotten when I had cancer 8 years ago to their place.

Found some soft turds in my cat's litter box which was great because he's been having a constipation problem and the vet said to mix a quarter teaspoon of miralax into his food twice a day. I'm so happy it is working.
 
Turns out I never made it to the post office yesterday, nor did I post my clothes away; I was just too tired. Also when I called about the order (diabetes supplies) which should have been there the last time I went, I found out the company probably didn't put my P.O. box number on the package. I didn't feel like waiting in line, then for a clerk to check everywhere if it's in some post office twilight zone. And I won't go to the post office on a Saturday. I will put those clothes away though.

It's 3:29 a.m. and I just finished breakfast about 16 minutes ago. I have a lab appointment at 11:30, the latest I've ever gone for bloodwork. I'll shower and make my salats (prayers) before sunrise. Maybe I'll get back to one of the movies I'm watching but I definitely want to take a nap because when I'm awake, I want to eat. 😜 Later I'll dust and straighten up around here a bit,
 
Today's plan are undecided, cloudy with few rain clouds hanging around.

Updating my search for tomato plants,, bought some from first Amish owned greenhouse we stopped at.
The flower arrangements in pots were selling quickly.
They had some very pretty color combinations.

I like the black eyed Susan vine , bought a pot of each color to put in front of garage.
Will take sometime for them to grow & drape over their pots.

I love black eyed Susans! So pretty!
 
Went out on my bike this morning for a visit to the park. It's been a long time since I had the energy to go cycling as the virus I caught has drained me. It was lovely to see everything looking green again and the woods were a carpet of bluebells and wild garlic.
 
Early this morning I cleaned out a file folder in the file cabinet. Doing one a day till I am finished. All papers that are blank on the back, I cut in fourths and put them in my scrap paper box. Had breakfast, took a trip to the dumpster and then a walk in both the parks across the street and took pictures. Came back and cleaned the bunny cage. Now taking a rest while I cook chicken for supper.

Oh no, my Nuwave quit and the lights over the cupboards went off. Checked my electric box and nothing shows as being blown. Moved the Nuwave to the other side of the kitchen to finish cooking the chicken. The lights are off for now. Sonny is supposed to come here tomorrow to work on Jazzy so maybe he can fix it for me. Or else I will wait for Rich, my maintenance man on Monday. I can live without it.

Today Sonny took his dog, Cinnamon to the vet and she got all her shots, a blood test, wormed and was micro chipped. He said she was real good. She will have to go back for a booster. $200. bucks but he said it is worth it so that he knows she is in good health. One of his fakebook friends said it was a waste of money micro chipping because nobody is going to scan a dog.........???? I thought that was done so when a dog got lost and was taken to a shelter they would scan them. So many dogs end up in a shelter and are not micro chipped and if they were I think they would be found much faster.
