I've been around 83 yrs, don't care what kills me, don't
want to be here forever...and don't want cut on and treatments forever either....ah well....it is what it is.....:rolleyes:

well I really can imagine how you must be feeling.. get to 83 nothing too badly wrong, and then suddenly you;re catapulted into a potential maelstrom of test and treatments... but Hawkdown , you may not care how you leave this world.. but .. do you really want to live the rest of it in pain?.. no.. you don't.. of course not, so perhaps going and getting these small tests and treatments done right at the beginning will stop any of that happening.. have a ((hug)))
 

I felt a bit foolish earlier on today.

The lovely lady from across the road popped in to see me just as I was trying really hard to get some drops into my eyes.
She was sat at the table while I was sat in my chair with my head tilted right back.
"I've been ages trying to get these bloomin' drops into my eyes, I've shaken the little bottle and there is definitely fluid inside, but nothing comes out", I moaned.
"Have you not thought about taking the cap off the bottle, Tim, it works better that way", asked my lovely sarcastic friend, "I'll go and make you a pot of tea, you dozy old beggar?" 😊

@hawkdon do you have a diagnosis yet?
 
Not going to do anything tonight except fix something to eat. Thinking just bacon, scrambled eggs and biscuits. I fixed eggs last night for the dogs to take their heartworm medicine and they looked pretty good. Maybe I will like them just as much.

I did a lot last night. I also gave big dog a hair cut, he was looking unkept. I wanted to get him in the shower for a good wash but ran out of energy. I did sleep all day with some help of the medicinal variety. I still feel tired. I saved the steak bone from dinner last night to lure him into the shower.

I have one of those shower heads that you can take off with a long hose. I just sit on the shower floor in my underwear so I don't have to bend. Not easy to get back up so I just kind of crawl out and use the toilet to lean on to get up.

Pretty exciting life, huh?

Tried for a haircut this morning but regular lady quit. The one and only hairdresser there left me standing at the counter while she finished up what she was doing. When she finally decided I had waited long enough she said she could take me but since she was just a kid, ring through the nose, multiple piercings and tatoos......well you know what I did.

I would have got a haircut, and bored her to death with old lady stories while she cut it. Oh, wait, I have done this. I make’em earn that 2 dollar tip 😂😂😂
 
More mulch time for the garden. Pumpkins are growing, beans are growing, lettuce is wonderful in a salad. and the cranberry bushes are thriving and will be ready to transplant soon. Made 2 trips to get the mulch. Loaded the little trailer with 2200 lbs each time. :eek: (might have overloaded that 750lb axle).
Then finished bleaching all the pool surrounds to remove the mold. This called for a bit of tinkering to get the pressure washer running.
Oh yeah, fired up the backhoe and dug up a couple of stumps I had been avoiding.
So, not much of a busy day today.

The last haircut I got was in my bathroom done by me. Let's say that did not go well and I did not give myself a tip. I am planning on a hair cut soon by a person that can do a better job. I just have to be awake during the day to drive myself there. I can go out at 3am to get a burger but there is not a one beauty shop open. LOL
 
Last night I noticed that frozen meatballs were half price! So I went back to the store 3 times today to try to grab the bargain. On my final sortie, I asked for a raincheck. I was told the meatball sale was not eligible for a raincheck.

Even though my time isn't worth much, it was probably silly to go back so many times!

Other than that ... I made appointments with mechanic and tire shop to get ready for winter. Went to the library too.

I put plastic on my screen door, so I can still go out on the balcony before it gets really cold and I have to seal everything up.

This evening I host the trivia game.

It was not silly at all to go more than one time to stock your freezer at the best price. I sometimes buy the limit, put it in the car, go right back in and do it again. Save the gas, the time and your energy. If I have the room in the freezers there is no reason that you should not get as much as you can afford and use. Prices are crazy right now, winter is coming and sometimes it is hard to go out. I am good right now on meats. The things I will be stocking as soon as I see the right price are butter and bacon.

Got the hedge trimmed this morning before the rain arrived at around 1pm... Took delivery of the new lace curtains for the spare room.. from the postman, made him laugh out loud when I said ''ooh what is this Postman Pat, you always bring me such nice gifts '' ..

House is all clean and tidy.. so if anyone wants to visit .. you can all come.. :LOL:...got the fireplace all lit up with an Autumn Garland, and the Battery operated Candelabra in the hearth.. .. so everything looks very cosy on this rainy afternoon..

You have painted quit the picture! 😅😀😂

I never would have thought to save that bone! Honestly, washing a dog sounds like a lot of work. But if you can laugh at life, everything is fun or funny! I'm glad that you can do that!

Does your hair grow fast? Mine is like a weed!

Dio usually cuts my hair in a cute little bob once a year....whether I need it or not! 😁. This year, with a broken wrist, I was having so much trouble taking care of my hair that I told him to "cut all of it off"! He came back in with the clippers that he uses to give himself a crew cut, and asked "are you sure"? LOL

So, he put the 1" extension on the clippers, and now I have a crew cut....and I love it! It's so easy to take care of, and it looks great! ✂

Was I supposed to give him a tip?!! 🤔

Only if he listened to old lady stories while he clipped it. I also do an almost crew cut. It’s so easy to care for.

On rereading my post, I realize it was misleading. They weren't limiting my purchase. The price was displayed, but the shelf was empty every time I went.

It was a "manager's special," not a chain-wide special in the flyer. They said I can only get a raincheck for specials in the flyer.

I have plenty of food, but I appreciate a little variety, and I enjoy those meatballs every once in a while. No big deal, just amused at my own silliness, trying to save a few dollars.

Thanks, @Blessed . Sorry I wasn't clear. I'd have no qualms about going back and buying more (if there were any). There just weren't any.

I don't think that store puts limits on quantities. I really stock up on sales. They must think I run a group home or something.
