It rained cats and dogs last evening...hurrah, the first good rain we've had in about 2-1/2 months! Think we'll go to the grocery and eat out early today.

One thing we won't be doing is "watering"...lol. Finally!

Things have been quiet here of late. Next week I'll be having a long list of tests to see if the cancer I had is still in remission (I pray that it is). I will admit that it's always on my mind now that the appointments are getting closer. So I find myself distracted and daydreaming a lot.

I wish for you, Leann……the very best and hope your remission stays with you till the end of time.
Take care.

Hope your remission continues forever. You’re a strong person. HAPPY for you for all the positive…..you deserve it.
 
Have an appointment with my new financial advisor at the bank.
My previous one, I thought I had him trained…..he wasn’t supposed to move to any other positions till I was done with him.
He didn’t listen.
But…..it’s a position in Toronto, same bank, but he works from home……so……he lives across the street, so missing him won’t be as hard.
So……the training starts with the new one……wonder if he’s old enough to shave. 🤔🤓😏.
I’m dragging my butt a bit today, not sure what I plan to do other than the bank.
 
I am sitting in the office of a Podiatrist waiting to get a Plantars wart removed from my foot. The amount of paperwork I had to fill out was about as much as I would expect for heart surgery.

I have not had one of these things for over 10 years, but they can become a nuisance if you don’t get them off. Since I typically walk about 3 miles every day, it is important to me.
 
@Leann Awaiting your test results as anxiously as you are and thinking positive thoughts!

It's early but already done in the garden. There's sooo much to do out there, and I'm just plain worn out after only three hours. I won't be off again until Sunday so it'll just have to wait.

I came in, cleaned up, started a load of laundry. Maybe it's already nap time🛏️?

DD's one morning a week job turned into two mornings a week, and today is one of them. DGD is working in Texas until tomorrow, DSIL is at work, and I've got a day off so it's peaceful and quiet and nobody wants a piece of me. Even Maggiecat is snoozing.
 
My plans for today ,were to go into town, go to library, drug store & grocery store.
Big garage door is broken,, have to open it manually.
I short unless hubby opens it ,, I don't think I'll be opening it.

He's gone to get one of the cars inspected & put gas in it.
By time he gets back ,, I'll be out of mood to go to town.

I'm a morning shopper,, habit I picked up from childhood & going to town with my mother.:rolleyes: ???

Really I think I'm in the mood to do Nothing today!
O,,isn't that what I did yesterday?:eek: 😇
 
Putting a set of older summer tires on the Explorer today. Have been running all summer on the winter tires, not that I've put many miles on. Noticed that one of them has something rolling around inside. Most likely an inflation monitor, and will have to break it down and get that out before installing them. They are not great tires, but will easily last until the snow comes, and being a cheapskate, I like to get my money's worth out them. Then onto other shop tasks, and maybe take the dog for a long walk.

Well it might be a good thing that I missed the pool this morning.. I felt that my back was just not getting better so I called my primary doctor and asked for an appointment, none available until the end of the month until I explained that I was in some discomfort.. she got the triage team to decide whether I could have an emergency appointment today.. and the answer was affirmative... long story short... turns out I have 2 Broken Ribs.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:..

It would appear that this probably happened some time ago an older injury that didn't fully heal .. and then probably the use of heavy gardening equipment ( tree pruners etc) recently .. have caused the ribs to break again.. *sigh*... no wonder my back has been hurting for the last few weeks !!

Anyway apparently I have to let them heal by themselves, no special treatment.. only paracetamol..or Ibuprofen.. then go back in 4 weeks if they've not healed


Anyway after that I went and had my nails done... cheer myself up.. mistake really because I was in the chair for an hour and a half, and in one position , so my back was hurting like Billy-O..oh well never mind, I've got them done now..

Verrrrry hot out there... stopped off and had a cold drink at the pub... gonna be even hotter tomorrow .

Pool opens at 7am..I might go anyway.. :eek::LOL:

Omigosh @hollydolly! Broken ribs and you didn't even know it. Glad the medics thought it was serious enough to see you.

yes so do I GG...I knew I was in pain, but because our primary doctors haven't been seeing anyone unless it's a dire emergency...since the onset of Covid, I just thought I'd deal with it myself.. heat pads etc .. but it wasn't getting better in fact more painful each day, so I thought I better get it checked out.. never even imagined anything broken at all. thought perhaps I might have pulled a muscle.. and it was only when reception questioned me as to the reason for me wishing an appointment .. that she said she felt I needed to see someone faster than the end of the month. Otherwise I'd be none the wiser even now.. :unsure:

You will not unless you are going just to sit in the water, any actual swimming could cause the ribs to get worse and might even puncture a lung you silly girl. You need to rest and let things heal!!
 
I need to sweep and vacuum, I have so much fur from my chow I could make a second one. I spent about an hour last night brushing and he is still shedding. I could at least have a sheep and I could sale the wool.

Lucky I have made a bunch of good food so I don't have to worry about meals.

There are sites online that tell you how to make "wool" out of dog fur, and knit with it. People do that! They make all sorts of things. Go for it!

I don't want to make anything out of it, I just want to half way keep the house clean. His fur just never stops. He is such a beautiful dog but I am tempted to keep him clean shaven all the time. He always seems to be upset when he get his summer cut, the lion cut. I want to take it all off summer and winter even his mane. Its just so much work to keep him brushed and clean. Would be much easier all around if I kept him short all the time. Mind you I inherited him after his owner, best family friend died of a sudden heart attack, At my age I would not have taken on a large dog that required so much care. He weighs about 90lbs now and can knock me down if he wanted to. He is a wonderful dog. Makes me feel safe in my home as I am alone. Not a mean bone in his body, he behaves better than the two little dogs I have. Not many are scared of ankle bitters. LOL
