What are you doing today?

I guess I'll make another doctor appointment. The UTI was never painful, just a vague feeling. I've taken all the antibiotics and the feeling is still there.

I was planning to go to the pool today (just up to my knees), but I can't handle phoning the clinic AND going to the pool both in one day.

I'm such a wimp when it comes to stress, unless some reward accompanies the stress (e.g., when traveling).

Other than that, just the usual: exercise and housework.
 

I forgot to mention in my busy day yesterday that when I was just getting into my car at the last retail park in the next county..before heading home.. I saw and heard a big argument going on between a middle aged male driver and a Parking enforcement officer and her co-worker..

the enforcer was the one who drew my attention to the fracas.. because she was screaming don't tell me to 'f..off''...

.. so I got into my car and watched through my rear screen mirror as this went on about 15 feet behind me..

She started to call for the police as the driver got into his car.. ( I have no idea what had happened prior).. and the driver started to pull away.. the male enforcer reached down to say something in the passenger side open window.. and while still on the phone to the police.. the female stood in front of the now moving car to stop him driving away.. mistake.. he drove into her and knocked her over.. and then drove off at speed... I wonder if they caught him.. but whatever caused it in the first place, from my perspective the Female was escalating the situation out of all proportion..
 
I am very happy to report that the scorched saucepan lives! Paste of baking soda and white vinegar for two days and two nights, and elbow grease with a scouring pad just now. She lives! Woohoo and stuff.

The dressing is made and refrigerated. Next up is mashed potatoes. Turkey will go in the oven in the morning.

It's about 70F here and sunny.

ETA: The store was nutso this morning. Every few minutes the PA system was asking for "all available clerks" to report to the checkout to bag groceries.

Sir told me that at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon there'll be an announcement that the store is closing in 30 minutes and reminding people to finish their shopping. At 3:45 another announcement that the store is closing in 15 minutes and to please "take your purchases to the checkout" all while people are still marching into the store. Oy! Glad I'm going to miss it!

ETA again: Believe it or not, we didn't get even one grumpy customer in the bakery this morning. Nope. Not one.

@squatting dog When you're done, drive that 57 down here. I'll be glad to be its foster mother forevermore. And red! Yay. How soon will it be on the road?

I expect it to be roadworthy in a couple of weeks. Not to say that there will be lot's of little things that will need attention. (kind of a never ending project). :) Of course, I told the wife that once this one is street-able, the search will start for a worthy hot rod for me. ;)
This project has made me realize that my old school talent for car building has never left me. (y)

I had to resist the urge to un-tape the car today, so instead, I put up a tarp type carport for the wife's Camaro to set under while I hog the garage with the 57. Went up with no problems and now the Camaro is safe from stray bird poop and those darn pine needles.

That’s a fancy carport, @squatting dog you sure they’re not doing the British bake-off in there? 😄

I have prepped all the veggies that will be used tomorrow for our Thanksgiving dinner. I smell like a raw onion!!! I also made homemade cornbread and cut it up in cubes ... for the dressing/stuffing. Chopped cranberries and pecans as well.

@PamfromTx I hope you get to spend at least sometime with those sweet nieces of yours during the holidays!
 
Prepping for my Thanksgiving. Decided to do it all today so I can just relax tomorrow. Home alone, so having shrimp cocktail, wild rice, squash casserole and rolls. Just put a pumpkin pie in the oven because I LOVE IT!

In between had a little spa day at home. Going to go put clean sheets on the bed and hope for a good night's sleep.

I will be on tomorrow on @Ruthanne celebration thread. Talk to some of you there and those with family and friends, have a wonderful holiday!!

See you at the celebration! ❣️ :giggle: 🐸

Yesterday's "Thanksgiving" get-together went well... enjoyed having everyone that could make it home. One eye opener-- the dining room that used to hold 8 ppl (two parents and six kids) with room to spare seemed much smaller with one parent and 4 now-adult siblings!

One funny thing.... my 10-yr-old granddaughter was in the yard with her mother and I... youngest son came out and volunteered to take a pic of the three of us. Granddaughter took it upon herself to step over and give 30=something Uncle a tutorial in how to take a pic with an Iphone. Seth smiled tolerantly through the whole thing and my daughter and I were having to hold each other up, laughing. My granddaughter is nothing if not articulate, outspoken and confident! (She also has waist-length red hair... She's a shoe-in to play Ann Shirley of Green Gables!)

How nice! So glad you had an enjoyable day. My sister used to outshine Martha Stewart when it came to hosting dinner parties. Before she moved, she had a long dining table that comfortably sat 8 to 10 people. But she'd set up a long folding table in the living room (usually for the younger folks) for the overflow and if necessary, a couple of people could eat in the kitchen.
 
Once again I've proven it's best to post about what I did during the day instead of what I'm going to do. So often, I don't accomplish what I planned. Today I finally finished putting the laundry away for real. But before that, I walked to McDonalds to get an egg and cheese biscuit and coffee. I could only eat half so brought it home for later. I walked over to the Amazon hub to pick up my package, browsing some of the stores along the way. After picking up my package, I ran into the supermarket to pick up a couple of items. The store had more customers than I'd ever seen (due to the holiday and time I went) so I was glad there was no one at the self check outs. It was my first outing in about 3 weeks and I was feeling energized so when I got home I sorted the laundry, cleared some clutter and dusted in the bedroom.

Happy to hear that you are doing better. Your appetite will probably pick up before you know it. Take good care 😘
