What are you doing today?

Today I paid bills. The water bill is $522.35. Our average daily water use for the month is 1,303 gallons.

Obviously a mistake. I am going to call the water company tomorrow. They were working on something near the curb, in my yard, a few weeks ago. I wonder if they caused it because we've got no leaks in the house, and we certainly can't use that much water on any day.

Made an appointment for a CT scan. Told the scheduler that it would be great if it could be before the 21st, as I see my oncologist then. She got me an appointment for tomorrow! I'm trying to get all dental/medical/eye appointments done before I move.

Still have more to do -- all boring chores. Plus write reviews for two Netgalley books I read.

Laundry. Getting paperwork together in preparation for tomorrow's recertification of Access A Ride. Ugh. They give a walking & stair test. God forbid you're not crippled enough to "enjoy" the benefits of their stinky service. Hate them. Hate.

Gosh. So I'd have to fall and hurt myself, first?o_O
(instead of my personal goals of preventing a more serious fall and also of being able to go someplace):rolleyes:

and preferably my fall would occur in front of them, and badly enough to cause visible (to them) injury? :oops:
Or else, I might be rejected, as they could brilliantly deem me, less likely to fall than I know I am. ? :rolleyes::cautious::(
 
Went to see my rhuemy today. She was so happy to see me, for some reason.. :unsure: She ordered some new medication for me and instructed me to call her new office to make an appt. She's moving to a location a little closer to me.

Then, I had stopped by mechanics to make an appt. My car seat cable broke, and I need to get that fixed.
Then to Macy's to pay a bill. Last stop was to Trader Joe's. A little bummed, they didn't have my turkey meatloaf I enjoy so much...nor did they have any fresh purple figs. Apparently, the season is over?

Home making some pork ribs and they're almost ready!!
 
It was a nice day out today. Went to the falls because it's mid-week and crowds are less. It's close and a great place to stroll around. Not just the falls but parks and all sorts of other attractions.
Found myself looking over the small railing they have near the Horseshoe Falls (on the Canadian side) and I focused on this little twig of a thing sticking out of the riverbank just at the brink of the Canadian Falls. I was thinking that if you somehow found yourself in the Niagara River being pushed ever closer to the falls, this would be the last possible hope you'd have of saving yourself from certain death!

Then I thought; yeah, nope! That's not gonna do it when the river current is 109 kph (68 MPH) :unsure:
 
Went to the grocery for just some of those must haves. Milk, bread, produce.
I would add butter but the price has really gone thru the roof. I have one more pound in the freezer that was under 2.00lb. I stock the freezer during the winter getting a few pounds at a time. Back to margarine for me.
 
Had some work done on my car this morning. I arrived at the garage at 8:00a and my car was ready at 11:30a. I brought my Kindle with me so I read most of the time. After arriving back home, I walked the dog (more like she walked me) a few times, did some editing then some gardening, made dinner....the usual stuff. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping in the morning.
 
I had a new crown put on today. Then I decided to walk both floors of our local mall while listening to music in my Airpods. I saw the same older lady passing me twice, so I knew she was doing the same. ;) I then found a Starbucks and enjoyed a Strawberry Acai Lemonade while I read a book.

All of my late-night shows (Colbert, Kimmel, Myers) are off this week so I spend as much time as I can away from the house. I am watching Mind Over Murder on HBO, which is fascinating.
 
My son and I went to my husband's house to collect our winter coats. We went all through the house looking especially in our bedrooms for things we want to take with us when we move. Then I saw the shelves of my bookcase had been ransacked. The bookcase holds my collection of children's books. He took a bunch of them to sell, but I put a quick stop to that. My collection was way pared down from over 1,000 books to about 50. He got the 950 other books to sell.

When we got home, I called my husband and told him that I emailed him the information I copied from the senior services website. I told him he must call them tomorrow. He agreed (we'll see). I said if he didn't call them before 3 pm, I would find out what a guardian ad litem does and go to court to get him one. And if I didn't think that was sufficient, I would find out how to get him admitted to a care home as my son thinks should be done. The 3 pm deadline is because he always tells me he called at X time, and "they" were closed.

Senior services offers delivered meals, physical therapy, occupational therapy, assistive devices, home modifications, pest control, help with personal care, help with chores, laundry, a personal emergency response system, etc. There is no income limit, but they may ask for the senior to contribute based on a sliding fee scale. A social worker has been out to see him twice, and he turned down the services. Well, no more of that!!

I think he will call because I never say things like that unless I mean it. At first, he tried to tell me he didn't need help, but I used my firm voice and told what's what. He needs help, not a nursing home IMO. I will never go to a nursing home, for good reasons, and he feels the same way. Hopefully, it won't come to that. Because I am serious.

Today was our 57th anniversary, so we headed for the casino, and spent 3 or 4 hours hitting the slots, then had a nice free meal. I lost a few dollars, but my wife came out a couple hundred ahead. So, it was a good day to celebrate each other, and take a break from all this heat.

Happy Anniversary !!
 
Working on trying to get my printer working with my computer again. Somehow I lost it. Probably need to install it again in Terminal. Then going to edit more photos. Do some more clean out in my storage locker today as long as we do not have any rain. I want to experiment with a keto cornbread recipe sometime today. Later my BF is bringing his rolling walker up so my neighbor/friend can use it. Maybe if he likes it he will buy one for himself. So don't know what I will be doing after that.
