What are you doing today?

It's my birthday, but I'm not doing anything special. I know that I'm only a day older than I was yesterday, but I don't need reminders that I'm getting on a bit - my knees remind me of that every day. The weather is a bit miserable too. Sunshine one minute and pouring rain the next. Pity, as I'd like to get out for a walk.
 

Good grief. How many birthdays have I missed? Happy Birthday to one and all who are celebrating!

It's cold here this morning. I mean cold! 54F is cold. How much you wanna bet we see nothing at all from the hurricane? The weathernerds keep moving the time back. At first it was supposed to be nasty starting tomorrow, then tomorrow night, then Friday morning, then Friday night. Now it's late Saturday. Pffft.

It's time to bake stuff in the event that last night's truck remembered to leave bakery stuff for us. With a little luck, it will have been there and left a pallet. With a lot of luck, I won't be working alone today.

With the last weather report, we’re going to get our evacuation bags together just in case we need to get out of here. Right now, 6 am, it is pouring outside and some wind. I might not be online for a while if we lose our power. Good chance we will because we just filled up our refrigerator yesterday. :mad:

Thelma had her final ankle therapy session this morning. I think it has help quite a bit.. Then off to get groceries and stock up on items we will need. Most of the stores are closing early because of the hurricane that’s coming.
Got anything picked up outside that could blow away. In our area they are saying winds 50-60 mph and 12 or more inches of rain.
This monster storm with produce many tornado. That’s my biggest fear.

Good Morning... Whoa... We need to slow down the time here a little bit, just going so fast... Seems like school just becan, and they have almost been there a month already... I don't remember time going this fast when I worked at the school board (28 years)...

Not A lot planned today, seal up around the shop today, fill in the gaps with sprayed foam...

Take Carl for his walk...

Today has to be better the yesterday... Went back to bed, after I left yesterday morning, and slept till 1 pm... and then couldn't get into anything cuz the day was almost finished...

Well, going to make another coffee.. and finish looking at the forum... Hope YOU all have a GREAT day...
Cheers~

Depression affects everyone at any age, but it's interesting how prevalent it seems in the retired age group. Maybe there's too much time on our hands for our minds to handle. Fighting depression is one reason I joined this site. We all need human interaction as long as we're here.

I don’t think it related to too much time on our hands, I seem to be very busy when not depressed; however, depression can make you lose interest in doing things and then you have too much time our your hands.

I think it’s related to our, older people, looking backing at our lives and reassessing how we lived. Hindsight, coupled with a decent memory, is a curse on the human race IMO. A case of should of, would of, could of is the start of depression.

We look at where we are and realize where we should have gone left instead of right. But as we look back it becomes overwhelmingly complicated. Should I have married? No. Should I have left abusive husbands right away? Yes.

But had I not married the abusive husbands or had I left, there would not have been the same children, the same grandchildren, and the same great children-all of whom I love. So. Complicated.

Happy Birthday
 
Going to be another nice fall day.
Would enjoy it more….but still doing the sick days thing.
Yesterday I did manage to take my deck furniture to the shed……sadly, that little bit played me right out…..i HATE being sick.
I do time sitting outside getting some sun and nice air…..doesn’t take long to lose my vitamin D from being outside, the rays are so weak this time of year.
Other than slow morning chores, that’s it for exertion.
