What are you doing today?

[hollydolly]

Today I am still thinking of the lovely surprise I got yesterday.
Our weather was unexpectedly wam and friends called to pick me up for a trip to one of our farms which is open to public all summer.
It is not so much the farm and its offerings as the beauty of the ride up into the country just about ten minute from where I live.

Narrow country roads just engulfed on either side by beautiful trees , some of them still in gorgeous colours then on up to Mount Nemo for that spectacular view of the city of Toronto which is about an hour ride on the highway .
I feel so fortunate to be so close to nature.

So today I take it easy but have to nip out to dollar store to get me some potato chips for my favourite do nothing pastime.

Everyday above ground is a good
Fetching more mulch today then have to spread it out.

 

[Aneeda72]

Dug my boots out of the closet, got my thick socks out of the, well, thick sock basket, put my warm sweatpants on, shirt, sweater with hood, coat, mittens, phone, got my walker, put trash sack on walker, and grabbed my keys.

I am now exhausted.

And I still have to walk to the dumpster with the trash.

Are you New York pepper

 

[NorthernLight]

Not sure. I didn't do the floors yesterday, so I can do them today.

I'm putting off going to the pool. My newfound fear of UTIs means I might never go.

Other than that, the usual....

Not just New York. New York City.

You're probably at least as likely to get UTIs from eating poultry as you are from swimming in a decently chlorinated pool that's open to the public.

I love NY, too!

..so am I.. what's your point ?

Would it be more informative to say how awake, we are?

Such as, on a scale from 1 to 10 ?

1 being not really awake, just lying or exxagerating.....
to 10, being TOO wide awake and rambunctious for my own good!

 

[Kaila]

Yikes! @hollydolly
I just saw your pics of the flooding. That's awful!

I am preparing to start the selection process for the
Medicare "D" signup this year....dread it...would not change
except Aetna boosted the monthly by 20bucks again for the 3rd year in a row, and that's it for me...bye bye aetna....

I am having the same issue with UnitedHealthcare/AARP.

 

[Kaila]

Thinking about getting dressed. I'm still in jammies and robe but do have my socks on so far.

Not sure this qualifies for the What are you doing thread.
We are very flexible with what we include but that might be pushing it.

 

[StarSong]

Have a few hours before our grandson comes over, and am dedicating that time to some business work. As soon as I click off from SF, that is...

 

[Wren]

Lovely day out with my daughter, we donated stuff to a charity warehouse, then visited a gift shop specialising in Crystals and Gemstones buying a bracelet each, coffee and cake then shopping before heading home

Thank you. A few months ago I developed an aversion to poultry. No idea why.

I do appreciate the input, as I'm still undecided.

 

[Kaila]

@Mizmo Very happy that you had that great outing with friends!
And love the pictures you scrounged up for us, of the area!

I went to get the results from my testing to participate in another clinical trial, this time regarding alzheimer prevention (and boy am I interested in that!).

Apparently I lack the enzyme they are looking for......and that's good news.

Today, I was tested for another enzyme that might indicate an increased likelihood of developing alzheimers. I'd be perfectly happy to lack that enzyme, too.

I should get the result in 6-8 weeks.

The clinic that I did the NASH trial with is bugging me to go through another NASH trial with another drug manufacturer.

So, the big question is: do I die of liver failure or live the living death of alzheimers? I think I'll go take a nap.

Today I've done very little...took a rest from my very productive day yesterday...which I posted about further back ...

Had to clear up all the mess in the gardens caused by the storms .. but fortunately living on the top of a hill means no flooding...just a whole ton of water in all the pots and ornaments.. and the Barn and sheds have had to have the dehumidifiers going all day to dry out the damp.. the indicators state that the humidity was at 80% in there..

Got a load of pictures downloaded today..that's always a relaxing thing to do...

Got my trainers washed... and dried..I didn't dry them in the dryer, instead I put them to dry in the airing cupboard where it;s hot..

Cooked a Rosemary and Red Wine Lamb shank for dinner.. along with Broccoli tots...

Re: Bathroom Remodel.
Some workers came by with buckets of hot tar & covered the new shower. Ahhhh, the aroma of tar in every room, mixed with everything I'm eating.
Simply heaven with every breath.........
"Hey, this sandwich tastes like tar."

Drywall & plaster all day. No more tar aroma. Now plaster aroma.
