My apartment has the built in above the stove style microwave and it is too high for me to work with safely so have to shop for countertop model. While they do save counter space they are not ideal for everyone especially if you are a little on the short side,

Even if I weren’t short, I wouldn’t have the over-the-stove microwave. Hate, hate, hate them. There a source of burns. When our house was being built I had the plan changed and had a built-in area for the microwave.
 
Dragging my butt again today, due to the storm through the nite, I didn’t have the problem…..my Micki did…..scared of storms, she either parks in the bathroom, or her butt is glued to me, she did both last nite…..so, being a good dog mom…..trying to do the calming thing.
Was going to pick up all the mess from last nite in the front yard, but, the gales are still blowing, so leave it till tomorrow, when there’s even more twigs and branches to pick up.
Showers off and on, so did inside stuff.
Looking forward to a full nites’ sleep.

I agree wholeheartedly. When I see those micros over the stove..it's like a disaster plays out in my minds eye... I would never in a zillion years have it over the stove.. in fact I would never have a microwave anywhere up high..

I know they take up space on the counter, but they're much safer to use there..

I hear you….here the place for the microwave is set in above a pantry cupboard…..I must be getting shorter…..at first , the height was ok, but a year ago, I put it on the counter…..was needing to use a little step stool where it was…..thought that may turn into a little accident.
So many things are not made for short people.
 
I went to the dentist today and was treated like royalty... they gave me my new crown. 👑

The doctor who fixed my wrist, has an office about 1⁄2 a block from my dentist. So, after the dentist, I went over there to talk to somebody about the pain I've been having. My doctor was not in but I did see his nurse. She took a look at my arm (at the swelling etc), and told me that what I was experiencing was normal. It will just take time to heal and to stop hurting. Now that I've had it looked at, I feel better to know that there are no serious problems.

I can't really do anything, it's too hot for me to go outside. So I have been sitting around a lot and reading, including many of the posts here at SF.

to everyone! 💗

Picked up our new car from the dealer. First thing we did was to figure how to work the A/C. Not a thing you need very often in Scotland.

Congratualtions on getting a new ride Capt. I know what you mean about having to figure things out. My friend was going through the same thing when she got her new car last year. I remember having to figure out how to work things when I got my first (and last) new Camry in 1994 and I'm sure things are more complicated now.
 
I had good news today -- still free of cancer!

Had some cancer tests, did laundry, got a Covid booster, took a nap, ate lunch and dinner, and read a couple of forums. I was at the hospital for 2 hours, on about 3-4 hours of sleep. I was so tired I could barely think straight.

When I told the pharmacist that I didn't get side effects from the vaccine, she said that was too bad. The side effects show that the immune system is cranking up, and that's a good thing. I didn't know that, and I'm too lazy to check it out.
 
Did some more organizing, finally got items off the dining table which literally is the first thing you see when you walk into the apartment. I Swiffered the floors and got myself ready for my podiatry appointment in the afternoon. Took an Uber there and had the presence of mind to call my son to ask if he thought he'd be off from work in time to pick me up. Thankfully he was. The doctor is local so on the way home we swung by the Amazon locker to pick up our package. I was tired when I got home, having already been up for more than 15 hours so I wound up eating a snack then taking a long nap. Now I'm going to probably be up until sunrise.

I've just come in from the garden where I've been sat, in just a pair of shorts, in lovely, lovely rain.
It's the most wonderful feeling to feel cool again, and, I noticed a few neighbour's curtains twitching. 😊 They are probably thinking that old Tim has lost his marbles..... and they are probably right. 😊
 
Yesterday I attended a graveside funeral service.

As I was rummaging around for something suitable to wear I realized how many things I have that I will never wear again for one reason or another.

This morning I’ve been cleaning out my closet and dresser.

I need to work on putting together a simple micro-wardrobe suitable for the few functions I’m likely to attend.

Time to get ready for my walk.

Later I’ll head for the Goodwill and stop for a few groceries.

Good to hear temps are lower. Rain helps, but I don't know how you adapt to 97.2 in your room.

yes I'm pleased about the temps dropping.. I've opened every window in the house, and the back door wide open.... and I've got the fan on in this office room.. and the temps are dropping by 1 deg every hour or so.. but it's still 87.1 in here... :(...rain supposedly expected this afternoon
