I was supposed to have mine done the other day , had to cancel until next week... I know that deep covid cold..it's really bad, impossible to get warm regardless of how many duvets you have on you..hopefully you'll feel much better tomorrow

Amazingly I feel absolutely fine today :) I was a little worried yesterday as I felt just as I did just before I went into hospital with Covid in April 2020. The family were also concerened as they very nearly lost me last time!

Also - we were due to have little Grandson today - but he's tested positive so we won't see him for a week :( He'll be fine. Just a snotty nose and a temperature last time.

On that cheery note - I think I'll paint our newly rebuilt front wall if the rain stays off :)

great news.... (y)
 
Good Morning.....a little nippy this morning, I had to dig around in the back of closet to find the warm and fuzzy house shoes. Nothing special going on here, I have had to start watering plants again, we certainly could use some rain.
 

Sun is shining... 65 deg f... it's been sunny for the last 3 days.. 2 days ago I washed the rubber backed pedestal mat from the bathroom, and hung it on the washing line outside, because even after fast spinning it was still dripping wet and no way could I put it in the dryer .

It's been out in the sun for 2 whole days and it's still soaking wet.. I've had to put it in the dryer.. and now with the cost of our Electricity gone up so high this year by over 100 %.. it probably would have been cheaper to buy a new mat

When I went on my early walk at 6:30, was a tad nippy,37 degrees as I strolled to mailbx down the street,wearing my yellow reflector vest,it was still a bit dark outside
This morning, is my last time calling Canopy of Neighbors members, I've been doing this from home ever since Covid started, don't have the desire to continue any longer I sent Sasha{exec director} an email last week,she perfectly understood,profusely thanked me for keeping the members up to date what was happening, signing them up for rides to events etc. I started volunteering in 2015 in the office doing general office work e.g filing,answering phone,mailing lists. I'll continue to come into the office whenever they need me,I really enjoy that. When I told members on my list last week about my decision,4 asked to stay in contact with me, which I plan to do twice/ month.
The rest of my day take another walk, temps will be warmer,read NYT,my book
 
It was an awesome weekend at the roller rink! I'm feeling good, and I'm back to working! Saturday, I hosted a private b-day party that had their own food, so it was very easy. In the afternoon, I still did not feel ready to handle the big crowds of people that would be at the snack bar, so instead, Janeen started to train me to work in the office. Well, that was different!!! The time just flew by! It's not something that I would like to do all of the time, but it's nice to be able to fill in if Janeen has to leave the office for a few minutes.

Sunday was not what I expected. I hosted 2 private , that day. The first one was pretty easy....mostly just serving drinks, with just a little bit of food. The second was a church party. They usually are mildly busy ,not too bad. This party was one of the exceptions....the rink was packed!!!! I was so busy at the snack bar that I couldn't keep up. Janeen came to help me, and there was almost too much to do even for 2 people!

Needless to say, my wrist was sore and tired by the end of the party! I did get to give it a rest on the 2 hour drive home, so it was fine. Well, my Dr did say that I was to keep working it!!!

Well today do not feel at all lively at all. 🥴 Will remain at home coding HTML for a image website.

Per above post,

some images on below link at a local news site. Understand, the images of the large dense mass of people was just one of 6 similar grassy meadows full of people late Saturday. Sunday crowds even late not as dense. Too much fun.

Wow! Looks like a blast!
 
Today.. I've got some winter laundry done.. Cushions , Fleece blankets , etc.. which I just wash once a year ready for winter.. .. and they dry on the line outside.. I only use the line for bigger items or items that won't go in the dryer..

Got the Battery operated Candelabra out , put new batteries in, and got that ready to put in the windowsill for Halloween, and then it will stay there until New Years Day..
 
I worked today. I'm tired. We borrowed the girl from the floral department (we call her the flower girl) who was an immense help. Yay. I think she's also going to work with me on Friday when I almost always have to work alone. More yay.

Kids, In case I haven't whined about it enough, I wanchootono that it's cold here in the morning. Upper 40s, low 50s. That's cold. Right now it's only 73. That's a November or February temperature.
 
Balanced two of my checkbooks and did some other financial stuff. Cleaned the litter box and readied the garbage so my son could take it to the dumpster. Finally got to speak with my BFF who is recovering from all she needed to do in the wake of hurricane Ian. I watched a little T.V. and will probably watch more in a little while.

And a bit more about a special weekend...

https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/hardly-strictly-evokes-bygone-sf-17483903.php

Hardly Strictly, set in Golden Gate Park, is financed by the late investment banker Warren Hellman and thus free for attendees...
As a relative newcomer to the city and first-time attendee, I didn’t think this festival would be for me. But what I found out was that this festival isn’t for me — it’s for everyone. Young and old, rich and poor, human and canine. Whether the twang of a banjo gives you chills or shivers, there’s still something to love at Hardly Strictly. It felt mellow, easy and inclusive — a flashback to another era of San Francisco.

SF Chronicle >>> "...In total, organizers estimate more than 500,000 people will have gone through festival gates over the three-day event."


Friday's crowd weekday crowd was smallest say 100,000. Sunday was less than Saturday, maybe 175,000, so Saturday's huge crowd was maybe an amazing 225,000. I mean there were a whole lot of fun smiling people.
