What's on your agenda for today?

Today, I started my morning by getting up at 4.30. Breakfasted then showered and dressed.

By 6.30 am I was on my way to have my hair cut. My hairdresser is an early morning person too, so had been there for a while when I arrived. He had one person in the chair, and one person waiting. I took my turn to have my winter locks cut off for Spring here in Australia.

Feeling and looking good again.
 
Today is Michael's birthday. He's 72. I made him a German chocolate cake, fixed him a steak, a baked potato, and wilted baby spinach and baby kale for his dinner. To top it off, I bought him a six pack of Michelob Amber Boch dark lager. He doesn't drink often, but I wanted to surprise him. :wave:
 

Started out rainy here but turned very nice around noon. Got a haircut, finally, as it was getting way too long.
The barber and I were discussing haircut prices. My mom would give me 50 cents to get my hair cut when I was a youngster. Now $13.00 plus $2.00 tip.
 
Tomorrow, the 17th, is our 48th wedding anniversary. My wife is scheduled for a vitrectomy the 18th. Have to have her at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. that morning. So, I was planning on taking tomorrow off to get everything ready to "babysit" her for a couple days after surgery. Meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. at work. You would think adults could conduct a coordination meeting, coming to logical decisions on how a specific project should move forward. Nope!! Four different contractors involved and "That's his responsibility!" "I don't want to build it that way!" "Why should I have to do this and not him?" Just like having a house full of teenagers. So... I will stay over and "referee" the meeting. Then, drive the three hours home... pick up the wife and drive another 2 hours to our daughter's home. Our daughter and her family are 35 minutes from where she is scheduled for surgery, instead of the 2 1/2 that we are.
If anyone looks cross-eyed at me tomorrow morning, they best well be prepared to see that this mild-mannered old man can show his teeth.

Grumpy Ol' Man, congratulations on your 48th wedding anniversary, you have ten years on us! :bestwish: Wishing the best for your wife and her surgery. :love_heart:
 
Today I got a couple more loads of laundry done, and made it to the Silver Sneakers exercise class. Nothing more on my agenda, just put out two weeks of trash, and that's enough. :playful:
 
Congrats, Grumpy. It sounds like you're going to have an interesting day.

Ina, how was the dark lager? I rarely drink anymore, either...but not curious enough to even taste.

Seabreeze, yes. It does sound like that was enough for one day. So what's up for today, since the trash has already been taken out?

I'm off to work, then to the dentist to test drive my new partial. Let's hope it's a good fit because I don't feel like waiting another month!
 
Not much.. Work... then home... then dinner... then start tomorrow's dinner..... then walk the dogs... then the hottub.. then bed.. rinse and repeat.
 
Congrats Grumpy Ol Man, and Ina's Michael.

I feel your pain, Georgia; been there, seen that; got the T-shirt, and great cost; both in money and pain!
fortunately; mine is brill, and has been for a few years now; the crown I had last month just doesn't count!l

Yoga this morning; now showered, and just had breakfast...
 
No work for me today I've got 2 weeks off...today I'm just catching up on all the chores. Weather is grey and humid. I might go to the library later today and drop off some books, and make an appointment to have my hair and nails done. Fairly mundane day :)

Ina hope Michael had a lovely Birthday, and GOM...Happy Anniversary for today and hope all goes well with Mrs GOM tomorrow at the hospital
 
Today I'll take a walk in the park with hubby and the dog, then continue to take stuff out of the camper so I can give it the final cleaning for winter. Hope everyone has a great day!
 
The technician obviously wasn't the same one who made the first partial three years ago. Grrrr. Didn't fit. Didn't fit by a long shot. Back in two weeks to try again. Sigh. At least it's already paid for.

Perfectly beautiful day here. Sunny and 80 and no humidity. I love fall.

SeaBreeze, you're already closing up the camper? It's only mid-September!

DSIL is taking DGS and me out for supper to Chili's, then we're going to Best Buy to get my Roku and digital antennas. Antennae? Whatever. Two of them. I have a feeling I'll be using lots of banned words during the learning curve:mad: I'm not exactly inclined toward technical stuff. Ask me how it is that I spent years migrating analog telephone circuits to digital circuits and never took anybody out of service... Because I was paid to do it? LOL
 
Glorious good morning, boys and girls! It's going to be another stellar fall day here, and the best part is that I have the day off. Woohoo and stuff:) The only thing that's missing is fall colors, which we won't see for a few weeks yet. Drat.

Annual physical this morning, then home to play with the new Roku. So far I think I understand how to use it. So far. Roku came with two free months of Hulu Plus. I also have to figure out the digital antenna thing because the signal is very weak. The only local channel that I can get is a channel that I rarely watch. Fiddlesticks.
 
Just been to cast my vote in the Scottish referendum. Probably only 100-200 voters in the village, but when the race is this close, every vote counts.

Just having a coffee and then I'll get back to work on the escape tunnel in case the vote goes the wrong way!
 
wake up,wake up the two kids(15 and 8) for school, 10 minutes later,Yell at them "get a move on you only got 15 Minutes".
Feed them breakfast,(I love those frozen pancakes).
Drive them to school.(there's always that,"I forgot something at home") no turnarounds.
Pick them up from school,check homework,feed them again.
"GO TO BED,dont make me come in there"....grrr
Same agenda 5 days a week.

Same

LOL Capt Lightening..we are busy rebuilding Hadrians Wall..and putting up Border Control..
 
Just returned from being gone and at my home in Florida for a month, so I have plenty to catch up on.
 
Well. I wonder how long it will be before we know the results of the vote in Scotland? Soon? In the next few hours?

Quicksilver, the day will come when you're retired and you can skip one of the rinse/repeat steps!

Getting kids off to school...I remember that as the hardest work I did all day. All day until they got home from school, that is!

Oldman, do I understand this correctly? You were in Florida and now back in PA? Summer in Florida? Eeek! Too hot!

As for me, Doctor says I'm fine. So far. Then off to see if I could get a different digital antenna. Blech...it doesn't pick up much, either. As a matter of fact, it doesn't work as well as the one we got yesterday. DS just told me that he found an article in NYT about digital antennas and what former cable and satellite installers recommend. He wasn't at home so said he'd email me a link when he gets back home. Sigh. This is a whole lotta work, but I'm determined not to be held for ransom by DirecTV!
 
Today
Stripped our bed and put clean/fresh linens on for my wife, since she sleeps so good when the linens are clean/fresh. She will enjoy the linens and get plenty of R&R next week, while on vacation. Washed/dried the linens that were on the bed.
Boy, I make a good "Mabel" LOL

Been thinking about getting a Karaoke Machine for Christmas, so, to put our voices to the test, printed out the lyrics of 10 favorite Classic Rock songs that we have on cd's. We'll see how we do.
 
Well it's 9pm here so the day is almost done. I bought a new iphone today, well not really bought it, upgraded from my last one so it hasn't cost me anything but I have to wait 5 days until they get more stock in.

I got my hair cut today into a bit of a different style

Did some gardening, and and filled 3 bags of clothing and shoes to take to the charity shop

Lazy day!
