I’ve become mesmerized by a webcam showing airplanes taking off and landing at Chicago’s airport. Why am I watching this? I don’t know.

Omigosh! I forgot. Remember a couple of days ago I said that we got a new full-time person in the bakery? And I thought she was maybe 21 or 22? Nope. She's 37! I never looked that good on my best day.

When I was having chemo, there was a nursing assistant I saw a couple of times a week. She was really friendly, outgoing, and fun to talk to. She was also beautiful. So I asked her how old she was, thinking she was around 22. She was 47! I was flabbergasted!

I was going to figure out a way to introduce her to one of my sons, but she was old enough to be his mother. Married for decades, 2 kids, and a Great Dane. She told that looking so much younger runs in her family. I told her that obviously I was in the wrong family. She doesn't use botox (her face is very expressive), she has flawless skin, gorgeous hair, and zero wrinkles (even around her eyes).

I saw her last week, and she still looks 22. Thinking about how old she'll look when she's 90-something, I nearly blurted out, "you are going to make a beautiful corpse!" :) She takes excellent care of herself - always wears sunglasses during the daytime, no matter what the season, wears hats and sunscreen, exercises, eats healthily, etc. It's possible she will always look 22, and never be a corpse!
 

Today I'm packing up my belongings because tomorrow I leave Columbus, Ohio and go to Buffalo, NY.
I have too much stuff, I don't know how it is going to fit back into my car, I need to get rid of things I haven't been using, but the only item I could bear to throw away was the cat's scratching cardboard thing (he has not used it at all).

I'm already feeling panicky about the driving tomorrow, I hope traffic is light and sane, and I hope I don't take the wrong highway. I've been using google street view to see what the highway is like, and most of it should be easy, but one spot I have to be in the center lane of 5 lanes in order to take a left fork. I really like the street view, I hadn't used that before, it was funny that I was 'on' the highway and the foliage had barely started to change fall color, then I 'took' an exit and poof all the leaves had turned brown and were all over the sides of the roads.

Actually watching people coming and going at airports and railway stations is quite fascinating. Better still if you can be there in person. Nothing more interesting than watching folk!

I love google street view.. but as you say you can move your mouse just a fraction and the scene has changed. New houses.. no buildings at all.. different season..

For example my road has not been updated since 2009.. so anyone coming here will have a surprise at how different it looks now in 2022, instead of the 13 year old view from Street view

Another one is perhaps going to a high number of a street.. say number 500.. and then scrolling down to number 50, and finding a completely different view, because google have only updated one part of the road..which is annoying if you're looking for a business

It's almost 5pm... I've had a pretty busy day today. It's hot, and this morning I got the long reach hedge trimmer out and trimmed all the tops and sides of the whole length of my garden both sides .. as well as the Laurel hedge at the back which is very high, and 30 or more feet wide.

The trouble with the long reach is that it's very heavy for me, so usually it causes me back pain.. but anyway I got it all done, and as I was raking everything up in the HEAT, and sweating, just glorious to look at, covered in twigs and leaves and sweat 🥵.. my neighbour called me over the back privacy fence and handed me a 5 litre pot of Forest Green fence paint that he no longer needs.. he'd bought too much when he was painting his fences.. very kind.. good quality paint too..

Quick shower at mid-day.. and then off on a 60 mile round trip to a retail park. I didn't have to go that far but my car hasn't moved in a week or more, so I wanted to give it a run , and get some fuel while I was out as well... £37.00 to top up half a tank... :cautious:


Popped into M&S bought a new sleeveless white blouse, and had a drink in their cafe upstairs which looks out over the enormous car park.. so a nice place for people watching....was going to take a photo for you.. but I'd left my phone in the car


Got all the groceries , except milk.... because I always buy my milk in Aldi, it's half the price of all the other supermarkets.. supermarkets close at 4pm here on Sundays , and it's was almost 4pm when I left the supermarket, so I'll get the milk another day
just after 5pm... might have some Scallops in champagne & cream sauce for dinner...

I wish you could explain how to cook Scallops. My attempt didn't go so well. I have some in the freezer.
 
On my early walk at 6:15 went to local conveint store to buy some milk,temp was 70,refreshing with no humidity
When I returned watered the plants/flowers in our commuity garden which I do every day unless its raining
This morning, as usual I'll be calling Canopy of Neighbors members to see how they are doing. Wendy, volunteer cordinator has added 3 more people to my list, they all have joined within the past couple of weeks
The elevator on our side is being fixed from 9am today until 2pm tomorrow afternoon,so I'll be getting more exercise than I usually do. I'll be bringing up my neighbor's mail when I go get mine, she thanked me Saturday when we were sitting outside in the shade in the garden
 
I'm waiting for the heater repair guy. He's suppose to be here within the hour to fix a leak between two valves. This irks me because the heater is new and was installed in March. Somebody didn't have their crapola together when they installed it. 😒🙄

Perhaps she will always be, and has always been, 22! :D:giggle::LOL::ROFLMAO:
Born appearing to be 22, and simply remains that way, for a lifetime, which as you said, might go on forever, all at 22! 😄🙃😁

Possibly next time you cross paths with her, you could ask to see her baby pictures? Or her toddler photo? Or her graduation from Kindergarten or Nursery school picture? ☺️😊

NO amount of taking care of ourselves would be able to produce the results she is having! 🤓🤩😉

🤣 I've gone down that rabbit hole on YouTube. I did like watching the approach to San Francisco because the two times I flew into SF it was dark, so I wanted to see it during the day. Also flying into Sacramento airport.
 
Walked, went and fed the ferals at work.

I'm going to go through my books I have read for donating to PAWS tomorrow. Also I have bought thrifted frames and I think I have amassed too many. I'm going to go through some of my prints and get them into frames and on the wall.

Perhaps a few frames can go to PAWS also. Plus listening to Newstalk.
