What's on your agenda for today?

Playng golf today. Taking a break from painting and ladder climbing. Actually I have the hardest part behind me so maybe one day left of painting. Do that tomorrow.
 
Palms trimmed, lawned mowed, starting to look good around here again. Need to do some trim painting but that can wait awhile.
Need to go to Walmart and pick up scripts today. Next week, get eyes checked and CT scan of my aorta. Following week, heart dr. And then should be through will drs. For awhile. Thank God.
 
Been to the gym. Went grocery shopping. Had my lunch. Since dh has gone into the city for a meeting regarding his uncle's nursing care I'll be doing the cooking. Freezer is empty of leftover curries, etc. So I'm making a lentil, rice, veggie soup and we'll have homemade bread with it.

Been tossing things into the spare room to pack for our trip. But I'm getting worried that I'll go overboard on the weight limit and will have to figure out what to leave at home.
 
Continuing to work on Halloween costumes. Done a little "dress rehearsal" last night with Female Stormtrooper and Lord Vader........awesome looking! Come Friday night we will be READY TO GO!!
BTW, did I say "we are in our mid 60's"! LOL
 
Ameriscot hope you have fun on your trip! Be sure and post lots about it when you return. In the meantime I enjoy your post so keep them coming. I plan to do wash and go see my son's new home this evening. He is so excited. I am so happy for them. I am looking forward to a trip to a haunted house Friday with DD & DG. Haven't been to one since I was a kid & can't remember if I went then or just saw pictures.
 
Ugh-not a fun day here. Had a new(11 yo) foster boy come night before last-it was just supposed to be for overnight and then they felt he should be put in their group home as his grandma,who was raising him,stated that he had attempted suicide recently and also that he was on probation here. Then they called me yesterday and said that they don`t think any of that is true and so they think he will do just fine here with us. Well,after 5 attempts to hurt our pets yesterday,we said NO WAY! He is ADHD and has no impulse control whatsoever. After the second time he "accidentally" hurt my cat PJ yesterday,she lashed out at him and scratched his face. The last thing I need is my kitty not liking kids! She has never,ever scratched anyone since the day she was born (I hand raised her from 1 day old) The foster agency woman trie to talk me into giving it a few more days but I said "No.He needs to be placed elsewhere today." To top it off,my 4 month old granddaughter was in her playpen fussing(she was on her tummy) and I walked into the kitchen to make her a bottle as he was standing near the playpen looking down at her. He was leaning on the edge of it and I was afraid it wouldn`t hold his weight (he`s a BIG boy) and before I knew it,he reached down and grabbed her by the arm and flipped her over on her back! I certainly hope they take me seriously as I told them that,in my opinion,he needs to go to the group home where he will be evaluated right away and supervised 24 hours a day.
 
It is a warm, sunny day in Christchurch.
everybody is out and about, hair cuts etc, before the wedding; I am supervising the erection of the marquee, and wondering what time and day it is!
 
Wedding is on Saturday, Georgia.
i have just given up and gone to bed; my head doesn't really know what day it is, let alone what time it is, as I am 13 hours ahead of myself!
i'll manage...the weather is lovely; 20C and sunny; perfect spring weather!
 
Doing my lower body muscle workout at home this morning. Ironing clothes to pack for trip, sorting stuff for packing. I'll resist bringing the suitcases down from the loft for a couple more weeks. Not a last minute girl! ;)

Foggy and dreich today although yesterday we had quite a bit of lovely sunshine.
 
WE have a freeze warning for Friday night so we'll spend today and tomorrow bringing in plants and the sweet potatoes and such. These early warnings are usually much ado about nothing but we can't take chances.
 
I'm off to clean a too-small house with too much stuff crammed into it. I swear that I see at least one of the residents there outside every time I go past...it's because the house is so jam-packed full of stuff that they have to go outside in order to change their minds.

Viv, when you go home again you'll be there almost before you left!

Mrs. Robinson, did they come and collect the boy yesterday?

Just noticed this. Thanks! I'll still be online while we are gone, just not as much. I'll keep up my blog with pics and also post pics to FB.
 
Still have the boy. The foster agency did all they could yesterday but CPS just wasn`t returning their calls. I agreed to keep him one more night but insisted that he be gone THIS MORNING. Foster agency lady just called and she got ahold of social worker and told him that he cannot stay here another day. He was mad,said that is HER problem. She said "No,you said it was for one day originally." So I am going to be dropping him off at CPS today. Not the way it should be done,poor kid,but too dangerous to have him here.

I can understand you Mrs R..I had 2 like that..I tried my best..
 
Just finished my breakfast of prunes,banana,grapes,orange. cup of coffee. slice of rye toast and now off to my two mile quick walk. Appointment with Urologist at 3 PM this afternoon. I will phone a friend for lunch at 1:30 PM.
 
In better news though,our oldest grandson is on the way home from Colorado,where he has been working for the last couple of weeks after he got transferred from eastern Montana. He received a call the other day from the Union here in California inviting him to attend their climbing school (an 11 day program) and bypass much of his apprenticeship. He has been on their waiting list for three years and had given up hope and took an out of state apprenticeship instead. Now they have offered to bypass the customary interview they normally conduct first and just enroll him in the school. He has over 7,000 hours working in the industry already,which is the normal apprenticeship anyway. They may just make him a Journeyman. If so,one of his old bosses has a job waiting for him only an hour from home. We are all keeping our fingers crossed. He and his bride of one year have been having a tough time of this being apart business. Not sure how she is going to manage to concentrate on her job today,knowing he will be home by dinnertime :)
