What are you doing today?

I don’t know whether to go into all the details or just summarize yesterday by saying It Was Long and Exhausting

the crazy part was my prescription glasses have gone missing; I had them on when grandkids arrived but once we came inside after about 20 min, they were not on my face 😑. Looked all over. They are here *somewhere* but I’ll be darned if I can find them. So on top of everything else, I spent the day looking through a blur

today is R&R day— maybe I’ll make up a new meaning for Boxing Day by climbing into a Box and not coming out for a week!
 

Hi, honey(s). I'm hooooommmme!

Sun's out. It's 37. Expecting...wait for it...sNOw tonight!

Business at the store was slow today, as expected. Gave Retired Lady and me time to whip stuff into shape.

Newbie didn't show up, of course. No idea what the story is this time and don't really care, although I wish management would decide whether she actually works there or not. It helps to plan the morning to know if I'm alone till 7, alone till 8, or just plain alone alone.

I'm off tomorrow, Sir is on vacation, and if Newbie is a no-show again tomorrow, Retired Lady will have to work alone :(

I remembered to buy blueberries for blueberry/lemon scones tomorrow, but I think I forgot to clock out!

Yesterday……..Christmas Day.
Started snowing at 7:15 am, and didn’t stop until about 6:30.
10 inches later…..and cold all day, -21c
Trying to keep the deck and the guys paths open.
Went out just after lunch to do their paths again……pulled a muscle in my back shovelling……PAIN !!!!!!!
So…..Christmas supper didn’t pan out for me.
Got out my heating pad out, and pain killers.
Heated up a TV dinner about 8:30…..then went out to clear snow again……pain…..pain….pain.

This sNOw is going to KILL me before I get to move.

To add to this……
My wee girl Shaalee had a poo about 7:30 last nite, was normal…….at 11:30 she woke me up, with whining……she had to go out…..she had the runs…..out with her…..again at 1:00, at 3:00, at 4:30 and at 6:00…..poor girl…..don’t know where that came from since her poo was normal at 7:30.
Therefore, not much sleep.
Had some Pro Gut here, so I gave her some after the last time she was out, should firm things up for her.


What am I going to do today…..heating pad…..pain meds…..and next to nothing.

On a better note……at 4:30 this morning the temp was -27c, it is now -16c

Sorry you had a miserable time with your pain, etc! Take it easy! Hope you feel better soon!
 
I just finished 4 batches of Keto Chow replacement shakes for keto ice creams this week. I cleaned Rabbit's cage early today since I missed on doing it yesterday. Been doing some cleaning. Little bits of things. The sun was out for awhile so the weather forecast was wrong. I have leftovers for supper so the rest of my day is easy and relaxing.
 
Finally got to strike ‘defrost freezer’ off my work list. Twice a year. I hate it.

Will do a load of laundry later.

Watching the noon news, they reported that Boxing Day lineups are minimal. A few people got some fancy electronics. It used to be a major event. People lined up in the middle of the day on the 25th. Now that Canadian stores have usurped Black Friday, a day which lasts at least a month here, people are shopped out.

For years, this was the day to buy all your Christmas wrapping paper or more ornaments for next year. Also, boxes of chocolates. Now those boxes are promoted as necessary for your NYE events.
 
After all the running around, cleaning, cooking for Christmas, and cleaning up afterwards, I'm doing nothing today. I didn't even get dressed! 😆 No cooking at all today, heating only. I had left-over french toast casserole with blueberries for breakfast. I've been on the couch most of the day, all snug under my blankets, watching movies. 📺 Somehow, I'll manage to get to the fridge for a little eggnog before dinner. Then back to the couch to enjoy it. Dinner is lamb and scalloped potatoes from Christmas dinner, and cookies for dessert. 🍪 I think I'll eat dinner on the couch while watching TV. 🛋️ A completely lazy day is great and just what I need. I earned it. 😊

So sorry Blessed, having to deal with those dreadful migraines.
Is there anything out there that can give you some sort of relief. 💐.

I have two pills left until I go to the doctor after the first of the year. I will try to hold onto those until I just can't take it anymore. She is sending me to a spine/doctor orthopedist Jan 4. I am hoping they can qualify me for surgery on cervical spine problems. I really think my is neck causing all the pain. Thanks for the hug, just that helps!

Back on the migraine train, I am so tired of taking this trip!!

I do sympathize. 🤗 So debilitating.
I did suffer with them for many years but oddly enough they gradually lessened as I aged and I cannot remember when I last had an attack.
I do have a degenerated disc in my neck area but the Docs then said it was not the cause of the migraine attacks and I guess they were right as I still have the neck problem but don't get the migraine.
Nothing helped me then. Sleeping pills helped me get through some of it but it was there til it wore out.
Do hope they can help you soon.
 
Drove home (4 hours) from my relative’s home after a four night stay. Enjoyed our time together but it is surely nice to be at home and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight. Packing the car was quite an ordeal. Many trips back and forth resulting in my knees being sore, stiff and achey. I must get an appointment with the orthopedist soon for some kind of relief.
 
Up extra early this morning because I went to bed earlier than usual. 18 degrees when I got up. Today I don't have any real plans since I cannot go downstairs because of the elevator. Probably a quiet day since I got most of my cleaning done except for laundry (which now I can't do because of the elevator). No plans to cook as I have two different types of leftovers in the refrigerator that I need to use. So just warming those up. Filing more papers and some computer work might get done today.

I just do not understand how they can go days without elevator access, when there are many there of limited mobility. I would think the city would put a stop to that. If there is an emergency how is everyone supposed to be evacuated? Has anyone filed a complaint with the city or county, all the residents need to have access to a working elevator.
