Sunny here today... but chilly.. low of 41 , high of 50 F... Can't put the heating on so I have a sweater on under a Fleece jumper.. and leggings on under my jeans... this weather makes me feel very tired..

No plans for today.. usual chores have been done this morning.. just got to mop the kitchen floor .. then I think I might sit down and watch some TV for a change
 

Now I have a delivery story to share…

arranged earlier in the week for new stove to be delivered today. Gentleman at (local/family-owned) store told me “ it would be after lunch since the crew had delivers in Blackshear “ in the morning

fast forward to today — you guessed it…. Alarm hadn’t long gone off and I was still waking up when phone rings. They are on the way with the stove. 😏😂.

well, gents, this is a ‘come as you are’ event and I ‘are’ in my pj’s, so just don’t expect Ava Gabor to meet you at the door 😁

Good luck with your new stove!
 

An unproductive morning. I received a bill from the doctor that did my pre-op medical clearance exam on August 11. I had paid that and the check cleared on Nov 5th. I went to the office to ask about it and found it closed. As long as I was in town, I went to the garage that usually does my yearly car safety inspections. It's like a walk-in place so I don't need an appointmnet. They were so busy I turned around and left. No potting soil or medicated powder in Dollar General. When I came home I was so steamed, I could have heated the house!

🔥We had our first fire of the year today. It's warm and toasty in here...almost too warm! 😂

I spent the whole morning fighting with my Amazon Photos account. After much frustration, I realized that the sight was down. I wasted my whole morning!!!

Now it is time for me to start getting something productive done....whatever that is!

@hollydolly You are welcome to spend the day here, with me. Right now, the living room is 85.5°F (29.7°C). 😓

I spent the entire day running errands on this gloomy, chilly, and windy day. First I went to the egg farm, and afterward I drove to the turkey farm, where I got turkey, beef, chicken, and a few other items. Then to the butcher for pork. Next, I went to the grocery store and the hardware store and stopped at the pharmacy. I came home, unpacked everything, and took out the trash.

I made a couple of phone calls. One was to a very old friend I haven't spoken to in a while. I called to wish him a happy birthday. His girlfriend answered, which is unusual. I thought something must be up, and sadly, I was right. The news was grim. She informed me that my friend had spent some time in the hospital due to a serious infection. She didn't go into detail except to say that it affected his intellect and that he was now suffering from dementia. They'd been told that when the infection cleared up, he'd be more like himself again, but that didn't happen, and now he's only growing worse. She said, “He might remember you.”

We've had a long history of great moments together, vacations, and a really close friendship. He wasn't there when I spoke to him. He had forgotten about my husband and me, his job, and the fact that it was his birthday. His children and girlfriend are both doing everything they can to support him, and I'm glad he has them to rely on. I'm incredibly sad and utterly heartbroken. I love that man.

I'm lazy again today. A couple of essential food items are on sale, one at each of the two grocery stores. So I'll venture out and see if they're in stock.

The flyer sale starts on Thursday. Because of our isolated location, and sometimes because of highway conditions, our stores seem to be on a different schedule.

Sometimes they're sold out (temporarily) on Saturday, and tell me the truck will be in on Sunday. But that doesn't mean the stuff will be on the shelves on Sunday.

So I'm hoping Friday is a good day to go. If not, I'll try again on Monday.
 
Arborist is here today. Cutting down a big ole type of Spruce tree that's too close to my house. It gives the animals and tree rats too much of an easy access to my roof.

About 4 other trees to prune. And, I'm getting a bunch of firewood out of the deal. He's cutting it in to smaller pieces so they're easier for me to lift and carry. It's a good day.

A day of household chores for me after a week of unusual events. So now, I can focus on a few different things.
Just had a nice phone call from a guy I've known since high school in my village. I asked him for ideas of volunteering for community organizations when I worked the recent election polls. He's in DC now for family Thanksgiving, but had a few minutes to talk and throw out ideas.
Rotary Club, The Alumni Assn for our school, Historical Assn (already have done that), and looking forward to coffee and a good overview of some things he thinks I would like and also contribute to. Being a Board member to a group was also on his list.
Anyway, gives me something to look forward to in December. :)
 
Fighting a bad migraine, spent most of yesterday in bed. This one came with the upset tummy. Been up for a few hours forcing down chicken broth, saltines and pedialyte. Hopefully it will pass by tomorrow!
