Clearing up stuff out side the shop and hauled three large loads up the hill in the backhoe to my storage space, before the snow hits. Moving a little slow, as I'm recovering after a visit to the ER Sunday. Nothing too serious, but painful, and really took the wind out of my sails. Should be back to normal in a few more days.

What happened to you Geezer? Are you ok now? 🌹
 

I took a walk down to the apartment manager’s office this afternoon. Asked him if he was aware that more and more dogs were being let off leash for their walks. And while I am a dog person, I am not an off leash dog person. On the rare walks with Stella, my almost 5 pound yorkie, she is leashed.

He said, no, of course. The last dog he saw, off leash, was 3 weeks ago. He fined them 50 dollars and said next time it was bye bye to the dog. I asked him to send out a reminder to keep the dogs on leash.

Cause on my walk I was approached by a large off leash dog and owner. I stopped, stood perfectly still, and asked it the dog would bite. No, she said. He just likes to jump up on people. 😱. Oh joy, I so want to be jumped up on by a 50 pound uncontrollable dog. Plus all dogs bite. Ugh. People can be so stupid.
 
I did some accounting this morning for my son and me. I thoroughly cleaned the patio door track and frame so our kitten can sit by the screen and watch the birds and squirrels. It was overdue for a good cleaning anyway. Also, emptied her litter box and washed it out then swept the area where her box is kept. Talked briefly with my BFF and watched T.V. Of course I played the obligatory Words With Friends. :D

I mentioned to mama last night that I was going to the gun range this morning to do some shooting but she said that she was kinda hoping that I'd chauffeur her to the Asian grocery store in OKC (30 miles north) this morning to pick up a few things.

Driving her to the store vs going to the range is a win, win for me......I get to spend some time with a good looking woman plus she always buys me a big bowl of pho for being her chauffeur.

Prepping raw vegetables, mixing up 4 batches of Keto Chow, making more chaffles and then some homemade ranch dressing. Have to take garbage out this morning and then taking a walk to the drug store across the parking lot for some heavy cream. Editing some photos when I get to sit down again and maybe even write a blog post. Hoping to get it all done this morning while I have energy and can stand better.
 
Sifting through clothes in closets/drawers, and shoes as well, for Value Village. I've already given 2 bags of
clothing to them this season. I came across a couple of nighties I bought last winter, that I'd forgotten about. One, pink with sheep printed all over it, looked familiar when I was looking online - so, I dug down
in my nightie drawer and found it. What a doofus I am!
 
Cleaning, dusting, sorting.... arranging, rearranging/ stand back, ponder, repeat.

4+ years of being away leaves me plenty to do at home

Don't get me wrong, my sons who stayed in my house while I was gone did a good job of keeping the place up while I was away, but (as Georgiagranny would say) Yanno, there's somethings only a woman notices... Like the front of my stainless steel-fronted refrigerator. Took Bartender's Friend to it this AM-- built up smudges, fingerprints, grime GONE! Yay!

Going to hospital to visit an older gentleman that used to play poker with us. He is a 98 year old WWII veteran and Purple Heart recipient. His wife told me last night he’s not doing well and the doctor thinks he may be going into pneumonia.

I am hoping the nurses will allow me to get him up and out of bed and walk the hallways. That’s what they did back in the day to help prevent pneumonia.
 
Lovely morning so went for a walk north of the village. There's a large pond where we usually see a variety of birds, but today - nothing.
Tried playing 'Pooh sticks' at one of the little bridges over the burn, but the sticks never appeared at the other side. They kept getting stuck on the bridge supports which were large stone pillars.

Rain forecast for this afternoon, but there's plenty of cooking to do and cleaning a whole salmon that we bought yesterday. Also expecting a delivery sometime and if I'm not around, goodness knows where it will be left.

Got results from my annual kidney function tests. All looking good - I just have to keep an eye on my blood pressure.

I think Mother Nature has changed her mind of higher than normal temps…….this week so far…..cold north winds, high winds.

Made the decision to have my leaf and grass clean up, hired done, if the wind stops and drys up.
Have never hired this done, ever before……
Still trying to get over my bronchitis, which turned into pneumonia……really bad time of the year to get sick.
Think I wore myself down, with the selling, and trying to keep up with the yard, not eating properly.
So…..I am feeling better, finally.

Yesterday, had my realtor agent over, to look over, assessing, etc.
Happy with the potential list price…..need to get outdoor pics if it ever gets a brighter nice spell out there.
Officially the for sale sign goes up in early spring……but……if someone is interested in my place……I’ll allow her to show during this winter……will see how that works out.

So what I’ll do today…..turn the thermostat up, which I’ve already done…..usual morning cleaning chores…..might get a few things to the shed, if it doesn’t rain, I hate putting wet stuff in the shed……and go through more sewing and hobby inventory……still get tired easily.

Sounds like things are coming together nicely for your sale. I hope this means that you will have time to take care of yourself...and start feeling better! 💗
