What are you doing today?

Went too see new doctor yesterday. Wasn't crazy about the one I had, after my GP retired. Have to go back in a week or so for blood work and have a few precancerous spots froze and removed. This is my first female doc, and I like her much better than the last guy. I was also able to take my dog in with me. Even into the examining room, loved that. Today I'll be back to work on my big mower, as the parts came in yesterday, and clean up the house for company coming tomorrow. Also made a dental appointment, so will have all the health related stuff out of the way for another year or so. Y'all have a great day.

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….to you and the love of your life….sounds like you had a great day….ENJOY each other for many more years.💐
 
As usual this summer…..it is summer, isn’t it.
Waiting for the grass to dry, not drying very fast, cloudy and cold, only 17.
I either wait for grass to dry, or for the wind to go down and get warm so I can spray. I’ve sprayed the usual twice this summer so far, neither time had any results.
So, morning chores being done…..I’ll start washing storage containers, so they’re clean to sell….all sizes….small to really big.
Hopefully I can get some mowing done later.
Last nite, brought out some hanger/plant stands for outside out of the shed, haven’t used them for a couple of years, so they might as well go.
I see my shed floor needs a good sweep, do that later.

Aren’t you all excited about my busy schedule. 🙃🥴🙄😜😃😆.
 
Another Netflix day!!

Wow, how nice that you could take your dog in with you!! That is pretty rare, at least around here.
 
Had a CT scan this morning. There is a lab there, so I went ahead and had the blood tests that my doc ordered in March, and I forgot about. I even remembered to bring the lab slip in.

I told the vampire that my veins were shot from chemo and she said sometimes they never get better. Chemo destroys the inside of veins and arteries. Then Ms. Optimist stuck the needle in my arm. Nothing. I'm watching the needle, and she then shoved it in even deeper! My eyes like to have popped out of my head, but it worked. I swear that needle was 6" long, and I could only see 2" of it.

I thought about DQ and KFC on the way home, but forced myself to continue on. Mostly because I hate going through drive-throughs. It's a matter of the risk of scraping my car by getting too close to the window, or having to get out by getting too far away. That's never happened, but there's always a first time. Plus, there is salad waiting for me. Who needs chili dogs and fried chicken when rabbit food awaits?

My son needs a driving lesson today, so that's on the agenda. I really, really hate teaching anyone to drive. It makes me very anxious, which I think I hide, but my kids have always begged to differ. One time one of my sons was driving on a rural road, cornfields to the left of us, cornfields to the right. In the middle of one field, there was church. A little bit further on, in the middle of another field, there was a funeral home. I saw that, and said pull in, we are switching drivers. I figured it was a sign.

My son doesn't know it, but he will be taking driving lessons with someone else soon, and he's going to pay for it. I doubt after a few lessons that he will disagree. I am only up for driving in empty parking lots.
 
Got my back yard mowed yesterday….some containers washed….a few more little things done outside.
Today, hope to get the front lawn mowed….but I have to go around and pick up all the sticks and twigs off the lawn first.
Have an elm tree in front…..old…..which actually is on town property, but I get to clean up after it, so much wind, so picking up is a weekly chore.
I’ll do some weeding in the back this morning…..maybe get some spraying done if the wind stays down.
 
Early yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my daughter-in-law. She was feeling lousy and learned she'd possibly been exposed to Covid on 4th of July. Although home tests were negative, she called DS home from work for a couple of hours to cover the baby while she went to urgent care for a rapid test (home tests were negative). It was negative for Covid but another test showed her positive for the flu.

DH & I brought the baby to our house so DIL could get some rest and DS could get whatever meds she needed, and to minimize the baby's exposure. Then DS called and said he just learned that of the roughly 150 people in his workplace, 40 tested positive for Covid! So he'll work from home until this passes and get a rapid test today (his home test was negative). Not sure where that leaves us with the baby, who is still here. Fortunately, we did a trial overnight run with him about a month ago so we were prepared for this.

All of us were supposed to go to DD's house this afternoon for dinner and a visit with a family friend who lives in Northern California. That plan is definitely scuttled for DS & DDIL. If DS tests positive, then we'll bail on the party, too. The baby seems fine but if DS and DDIL are both sick, the baby is probably incubating something, and now DH & I may be, too.

At the moment our grandson is back to sleep after a 5:30 AM bottle.

This is one of those times when we'll just have to see how the day spins out...

Just found out a half hour ago, that a good friend of mine in Ohio passed away, so I am making arrangements to travel out to Ohio to attend the funeral on Saturday.

I will be leaving at noon. The viewing is set for 6-8 tonight. I should be there with time to spare. This friend is actually an old girlfriend. I loved her then and still do, but in a different way. She was so sweet and kind. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. One of the easiest going people I ever knew. I am going to miss her.

Oh Star, I truly hope the spread of this flu she has is not too wide!
Take good care of yourselves. Thank goodness you and hub are there for the baby.
 
I've just came in from watering, we've had 105 temps for several days with no breaks any time soon and our rural water company just issued a water restriction....yikes it is getting serious here, I don't know how people make it that have to work outside.
