At the moment I'm sat here on my computer, staring out of the window at grey rainy day with a forecast that it will get worse. Mrs Oy needs wool and some eyes for a Heilan' Coo she's crocheting so I suspect it'll be big coats on and a trip into town at some point. Probably end up sat in a Coffee Shop grumbling. I'm good at that :rolleyes: :coffee::ROFLMAO:
 

when I went on my early walk around 6:45,half way down my street it was light drizzle temp was 54
Today at noon, I'll be at my friend's Marcia&Dave's house,{2 blocks away} with their neighbor, Jenny who lives 3 houses away.{ I know her she's a church member} She'll be taking family dog,Tage outside their back door to their fenced in backyard,let him do his business,run off some energy. I can't take Tage down the 3 stairs, because there is no railing. When she comes back ,I'll give him a treat,put him in the crate with his toys
Marcia&Dave, son, Alexie are driving this morning to a family wedding this weekend in CT. Older son, Dave,Jr who is working can't go but will be staying at the house. He was the owner of Tage's uncle 'Aker'{pharoh hound}
I came over to the house yesterday morning,so Marcia could show me how to open&close the crate,Tage was so excited to see me, tail wagging.I sat on the sofa,he put one of his toys on my lap,next thing I know he's on the sofa next to me, licking my ear-priceless
The rest of my day reading NYT,my book,if not raining may go for another walk

I did get the freezer done yesterday. While it was empty, Dio moved it out and cleaned behind it. What a job!!! I'm so glad that it's finally done!

Afterwords, I made an awesome lunch. I wanted to use up a can of refried beans that has been on my shelf since....well, forever. And I had some natcho cheese left over from the roller rink. So I mixed them , and added a can of tomatoes and a tub of sour cream. I served it with natcho chips. It was so good that we almost finished the whole thing!

After such a big lunch, I figured that we wouldn't be very hungry for dinner. I simmered some chicken that I wanted for another recipe, thinking that we could just pick at it a bit. I took a big bowl of leftover green bean casserole out of the freezer, and I made some jello for dessert. Would you believe that we finished every last bite?!!! Even the jello! The only thing left over was a big pile of dirty dishes! 😝

I'm not sure how today will go, but the tentative plan is to clean all of the floors (that's another job that I have not been able to do!), then Dio wants to wash linens.

The rest of my time is filled in with PT, PT, and more PT!!!! Shoulder, wrist, repeat! (sigh)

yes I love the farm shops around here too, I go to them on a regular basis. Buy food from there.. often have a coffee in the Farm shop cafe, which has a big patio outside for sitting and taking tea in the sunshine, and looking out at all the animals including Llamas and Donkeys.. as well as sheep pygmy goats and cattle.. I've posted a few photos of them on here in the past..:D they also do beautiful seasonal settings ..halloween, Christmas et al..
 
Look what I got from my visitor this morning ?

how lovely is that ?.. a thank you card and roses.. from my friend :)

My friend left a little while ago, ... it's now racing towards 3pm.. the sun is still shining, despite the forecast for rain earlier.. but the wind is getting up quite strongly now and the tree next to my window where I sit at my computer is bending in the wind..

I was going to go out but an Item I've been waiting to be delvered for 2 days is supposed to be coming today.. altho' I did have to message the seller and ask where my item was because the Hermes site has been saying it's on it's way for 3 days.. and no sign of it, so hopefully it will arrive today.

Do any of y'all still get catalogs in the snail mail? I got one from Signals today, and I'm in heaven! I probably won't order anything from it, but it's a whole lot more fun to look through than looking online. There's just something about holding it in my hands and turning the pages...

Something like the difference between reading a real book and reading one on a Kindle?

I still get tons of gardening catalogs. Each of them have the same things in them, and yet I go through each of them! 😅
 
Third Rehab physical therapy this morning. I am being discharged to outpatient physical therapy tomorrow, I get to go home!!

I got mobile faster than expected, and have less pain than expected, but it will still be a long slow process. Doctor ordered 12 weeks of outpatient PT starting Monday.

Not real mobile, I mostly use a walker, can walk without it but too shaky to feel comfortable. Physical therapist has me walking without the walker, but only when he was there. He also let me walk for a while with a cane. Climbed about 10 steps today, they hurt and took a lot of support, but I can climb up and down stairs, if I have to, I do not have to at home.

Had a bit of a pain relapse last night, had to take an oxycodone, first in a few days. Probably my fault, I did too much exercise with the legs yesterday, 2 rounds of PT and then walked, very slowly, for about 45 min, too much I think. The physical therapist warned me to slow down, I will don't want that again. Fine now, managing pain with Tylenol today. Sure be nice to make an escape from here.

I am waiting to get my flu shot. I had forgotten how much paperwork was involved and how long the wait was the last time. Fortunately the waiting room is fairly empty.

I'm surprised! I have almost no paperwork at all! Just my name, my Dr's name, and what kind of insurance do I have....sign here. That's it. And I waited less than 10 minutes. 😲
 
The weather is cool, overcast, and blustery - just as I like it. My hair got caught in the car door twice, ouch, as it was blowing briskly.

Made the rounds to the diy store for returns and purchases, $ Tree, Marshall's, Goodwill, Walmart and dropped mail off at the post office. Had two more stops to make, but to tired and in pain to keep going.

I guess the winning lottery will go to someone else tonight, since I did not buy tickets.
 
I hung 7 paintings or photos on the wall. The last place I rented was so bad that my paintings all just stayed in a dark closet. Now, this place is more "my speed" so I am staying and up go the paintings. Living in the old place I only met 2 people in 10 months. Here I already know several; including the nice chatty couple across the hall from me. On November 18 we are having a "Fall Super." Bring your own drinks and the charge is $5 CND. Now, tell me, where can you go and have a great evening with nice folks for $5? Nice thing is if you have "too many freshments" you don't have to drive anywhere and have your car impounded by the police. However, you should stay sober enough to remember which floor you are on. Here we have 10 choices. I think it's gonna be a FUN night with a lot of single/widowed ladies there.

I am glad to hear that you are progressing after a significant surgery. Hang in there.
 
@hollydolly I'm resting. Solitaire on the laptop. "Relaxing" murder shows on TV. Gonna go sit outside in the sunshine for a few.

Flower Girl has an 8-hour shift in the floral department tomorrow so no extra help. Supervisor will be there, though, thank all that is holy. Maybe I can catch up with the baking and packaging tomorrow.

For some reason, we sell Italian bread and garlic bread by the cr@pton on Saturdays. Got plenty of Italian bread and will bake more in the morning. However...we have no garlic spread to make garlic bread. The customer complaints will wake the dead Saturday afternoon and evening. Yanno...because people really don't know how to make their own garlic bread🤦‍♀️

Sunday? I work alone. Doncha just hate it when you see grown women crying?

We get a truck from the main bakery in Louisville on Saturday night. Guess who gets to unload the bakery department pallet and search for the things we've ordered and can't do without?

It could be worse. They could expect me to use the fork lift to get the pallet from the store freezer to the bakery, but they don't. I only have to ask, and one of the fork lift operators zips it right on over to me. ("Here ya go, Gramma! Lemmeno if you need anything else.") Being old and looking like a 98 lb weakling has benefits😄
 
I noticed some moisture under my kitchen sink, just figured it was a leaky line that probably needed retightened. Got under there and discovered a misplaced gasket where the drain attaches to the sink. This is still original from 1988 when I had the house built. I guess the plumber was too lazy to do it correctly so just filled in the gap with caulk and called it good. lol. And he was right for 34 years. 20221007_150701.jpg
 
an update from my previous post
When my friend,church member, Jenny&I walked into Marcia&Dave's house{I have a key} Tage was in his crate,so happy to see us, tail wagging,he barked at her briefly. When I let him out ,he put his paws on my waist,I bent down he licked my nose was ready to go outside. I joined Jenny a min later, holding onto the wall going down 3 stairs. We let him loose in the fenced backyard{leash still on him,per instructions} he was running around really fast as Jenny said'like a greyhound' I brought him back upstairs{was easier} gave him a treat,then put him back in his crate with his toys. As we were about to leave, he starting whining, told him'be a good boy'
