What are you doing today?

A day off and what does Maggiecat do? Wakes me up at 4am.

Not gonna wait for fall for the weeds to die because when they go to seed, they spread. And fall here waits until October/November.

The scroll feature on my laptop has gone crazy and only zips up and down at a dizzying speed. Sigh. It's also been doing some other strange things lately. Hope it's not time to get a new one because I've turned into somebody who's tighter than bark on a tree and don't want to spend a single cent 💸

Mine will do that from time to time. Just have to go to settings and slow it down. Too fast for my eyes (or brain).
 

All I know for sure today is that my water delivery which was due two weeks ago is finally supposed to be delivered today. They said the driver's telephone stopped working the day he pulled in my parking lot????? Why didn't he come to door??? I was watching for him and saw his truck pull in.

After the water is delivered Sonny is going to take me to Walmart. Since I do not have any idea when the water will be delivered not sure what time that would be.

Right now Rabbit is running laps around my chair and portable table (that my computer is on). He knows it is time for my 2nd cup and his banana.

I know most of you will not understand my happiness today over finally reconnecting my computer with my printer but I am SO happy I did it.......myself! I was so pleased with myself after printing a couple of test pages that I decided to figure out how to get Libre Office installed and working. That has never worked since I bought this new computer last summer. I have so much saved that I have written and including my eBooks that I was not able to bring up at all. Well, I did it. And can now write using it once again. What a difference it makes.

I am pretty happy today.

I know exactly how you felt. You reminded me of myself when I have had computer problems that refused to be fixed. I would try everything in the book to make it work but it would not. After days and days of trying different things, I would finally get it to work and let out a LOUD shout of "Whoo HOO!!!! I did it!!!!!" I was surprised my neighbors didn't call 911 on me but they didn't.

It's sunny and overcast but again Humid.. Got some acute pain today due to my jaunt ( driving) yesterday... oddly when I was fine when I got in the car.. 20 minutes later when I got to my destination, I could barely open the Boot ( Trunk).. for pain... and that's after staying home for 3 days ..Anyway, I;ve got a heat pad on me now.. hopefully that'll help.. and I'm not going anywhere at least for the next couple of days..

Just been fetching provisions from the Barn.. to replenish the kitchen store cupboards.. then I brushed the cobwebs from the trellises.. and the sheds and canopy where they accumulate overnight....

Someone was having D-I-Y inside their home this morning, sounded like flooring being hammered down .. it was so loud I had to close my windows, and they weren't even in this road.. 😲

@hollydolly

Woman!!! What am I going to do with you?! You're doing too much again, already 😖
I think I'm going to have to get over there and duct tape you to the chair.

Fetching, dusting, replenishing..does't sound like resting to me....

Good grief! You're even worse than I am. You "just" did a few little things. Sure. Those few little things are what's keeping you from healing. Brush the cobwebs away, replenish the kitchen cupboards... The cobwebs will wait. You probably have enough in your cupboards that you can eat for a week.

Read a book. Find a movie or three or 12 to watch. Teach yourself to knit or crochet or tat or needlepoint. Pretend you're a cat and do nothing.

LOL... I can already knit and crochet.. I find it incredibly boring, plus now it would be too painful due to the arthritis in my right fingers.. I can't watch a Movie all in one hit, I get too restless, or read a book in the daytime or I'll fall asleep and be unable to sleep at night.. I just have to be doing something all the time..it's a nuisance sometimes but that's how I am.. :LOL:

My ribs seem to be less painful when I'm moving around.. it's sitting for extended periods that seem to make it worse tbh..

Happy Coosday!

I'm up, sort of. I've had my coffee and I'm ready for breakfast. Andy is on the rug, sprawled out, sleeping....he's being a bad influence on me!

I expect today to be full of the "same as always" ...PT, read, PT, sew, PT, complain and rest, PT, watch tv, PT, tablet time, then off to bed. Until this cast comes off, my life is less than exciting.

I hope everyone else has an exciting day! 💗

@hollydolly I get it. I have to be "doing" too. Anything. Doing. Can't sit still. Is there a name for such a malady?

We've heard about restless leg syndrome. Maybe there's a restless body syndrome.

I definitely think I've got restless body syndrome... my daughter is the same.. only she's 21 years younger, so she's got the energy I had back when I was in my 40's.. when everyone always asked..''where do you get your energy from''.. not something I could ever answer ..
 
I have been helping my ex-Trooper friend on his small farm. He has 4 Angus steers he raises for butchering and 6 Holsteins for milking. I have been going over to his farm at 5 every morning to do the milking and it’s beginning to take its toll on me. I am tired by 9 when I get done. A month or so ago, he bred the one cow and yesterday we found out that she is pregnant.

We have a young high school kid that helps too, but he goes back to school next week. That means more work. As much as I like working on his farm, I’m afraid Father Time is catching up and I can’t get as much done as I used to. He wants me to work 6 hours a day starting next week. I would like to maybe give it up, but he can’t get any help now and the workload is picking up. Come October, we will have to harvest the second cutting of the hay and in early November, the corn has to be harvested. Hopefully, he will hire another man soon.

Anyone want a job? $25 an hour, plus all the milk you want and when we butcher the steers, you can’t get 50 pounds of beef.

you've got to tell your friend.. I know you are desperate for the help, but I'm just finding it more tiring than I can cope with...

Perhaps stay with him until October till he gets more help, but you can't make yourself ill with good intentions for your friend.. 6 hours a day is almost like going back to work again.. especially when it's as physical as farming is...

Exactly and that’s what I told my wife. I told her I didn’t work this hard on my job.
 
Hm...@911 That is going back to work!

It's quarter past 11, and I still haven't hauled my bony butt out to the garden because I don't feel like it. Motivation. I seem to have misplaced it. Looked everywhere, even in Maggiecat's litter box and under the bed. Nope. Not there. Checked the outdoor storage box, cupboard under the kitchen sink, everydamnwhere. Nope. Maybe it got left in the bakery when I finished my shift yesterday. If that's the case, I'm already done for the day before I even get started.

What was that I was saying about Restless Body Syndrome? 😭
 
RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME.
RESTLESS BODY SYNDROME.

It’s not imaginary……of all the things I’m free from……that isn’t one of them.
Suddenly pounces on you…….feels like you need to crack your bones, legs, body, but can’t, have to wait it out, till the next time.
So FRUSTRATING.
