What's on your agenda for today?

It's 6 pm here , I'm in Adelaide for the night as I have my EEG appointment early tomorrow ,the doctor I have been referred to is a professor so he is obliviously a good choice of doctor to be referred to to get answers to why I had that health scare 4 weeks ago . Thank goodness it has not happened again. I have been very wary about driving alone and have only been out on my own once to get more wall paint while hubby was in the middle of painting
 

Kadee46,
I hope your EEG comes out fine. Let us know.

I stayed home today but I think we have to go out tomorrow to buy more coffee. Because of the rain we were able to have a fire in the fire pit tonight so that was a big deal to the guys. The rain has helped make things a lot more pleasant around here and it's starting to green up.

Jujube, hope you get good results. Hope everything is fine with your granddaughter.

Agman, sounds like a nice ride. Hubby and I are serious cyclists but we cheat a bit and got electric pedal assisted bikes earlier this year. But it's very hilly here so we can do very long trips now.

Taking our Ugandan daughter to the airport. When she gets back to Uganda she will apply for another visa and hope she will be back in April as she's been offered another 18 month work contract. As always there will be many tears at the airport as she's not good with goodbyes.[/QUOTE

Hah! Sorry for the confusion, Ameriscot. I'll be riding my motorcycle ​on the 350 mile trip.

A 25 year friend called yesterday and said that he was going to be busy all day but he wanted to take me out this morning for a belated Veterans Day breakfast.

He lives a 35 minute drive north and I offered to meet him somewhere half way but he declined and said that he'd be here around 8:30 or 9:00 to pick me up......he wanted to wait till after the rush hour traffic thins out a bit before getting on the road.

Don and I haven't seen each other in awhile so it will be nice to do a little catching up.......I haven't had a good omelet for quite awhile so I think that's what I'll order.
 
Ike, order an omelet for me, too, please. I'd like cheese, green chilies, onions and mushrooms, k?

How can it be raining again? And who the heck ordered more? And are the "Whether" people making empty promises about the sun coming out at noon?

I got an order for a cheesecake for Thanksgiving. Yippee! Now for about 10 more...that would make me very happy.
 
Flying all weekend: First back down to Tampa, then over to Dallas and finally up to St. Louis. Won't be home until middle to late of next week. I love it, but my wife is complaining. I have to soon retire by FAA rules. I told her to be patient, but she still complains.
 
Gym this morning. Ugandan daughter is back home now after her long flights. Both guest rooms empty so I'll now start tossing things in one of them for me to pack.
 
Ameriscot, it's hard to believe it's almost time for you to leave again. My gramma always told me that the older we get, the faster the time goes. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around having to change the year again soon...just when I finally remember to write "2015"!

It's sunny here today but cold and windy. It had been my plan to tidy up in the garden, but it's just too uncomfortable out there to be out for any length of time. Geez...seems like I was just complaining that I had to be outdoors at the crack of dawn to get things done before it got too hot! There's that tempus fugit thing at work again:)

Shouldn't our Hollydolly be back again soon? I'm looking forward to it but bet money she isn't!
 
Georgia, I find time goes by much faster as well. Yep, time to go again. We did just get back from the US the first of October.

More hail, rain and wind here. Snow on top the mountains so I'm very ready for the heat of Thailand.
 
Morning all....we have a beautiful fall day, I've got my windows opened and deep cleaning the master bath today...windexing all the glass shelves and mirrors, a job I've put off for too long.
 
Hi, all. I've been busy and bummed. Busy cleaning up inside and out and driving down and back to my son's. It's only about 30 miles but takes an hour when traffic is factored in.

Bummed about the events in Paris. Tired of hearing all the arm-chair quarterbcks and their harebrained solutions and tired of the would-be politicians and their hairbrained solutions. As long as there are extremists (of any stripe), there have been and will continue to be wars.

It has turned chilly and overcast here with no rain predicted at the moment. As we know...that can change in a heartbeat!

Kadee, when will you have the results of your EEG?
 
It's almost 6 pm here now and pouring rain, which we need. I too am wondering how Kadee's EEG turned out. Georgia, you have to drive through city traffic to get to your son's? I love the state of GA and spent some happy times there. We thought seriously about moving out there but have too many grand kids here and our relatives that lived there came back to California. :) We looked at a few houses on a lake there that we considered buying. My husband's dream is to live in a house on a lake. Property seemed like a really good deal out there too, compared to California.

I didn't leave my house today (except to unlock the gate for my husband) and I think tomorrow if it isn't raining and the fog lifts we'll go down and fill all our propane tanks and water bottles. All this el nino talk, makes me wonder if our steep roads will wash out this winter, so I want to be prepared.

 
Sorry for not getting back to reporting on my EEG, it took quite a while, after they removed all the stickers they rubbed my hair with a cloth to revove all the patches of glue my hair ended up with blue patches...and stiff ...Anyway the doctor said it takes longer to study it than just a fleeting doctors visit ,and they would be in contact with me in a day or two if there was any concern ..Today I'm going into the local clinic at 2 pm to have a 24 hour heart monitor fitted..
As a matter of curiosity I looked up the dangers/ symptoms of Low blood sugar as I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008, however Everytime I have a test ( once a year ) they say I'm not diabetic however if I don't eat something at least every 5 hours I get shaky and week and my blood is only in the range of 3.5 -- 4.5 which is fairly low in Aust standards ..Today while I'm at clinic I'm going to make appointment to see the diabetec nurse and ask if the sudden collapse may have been caused by low blood sugar as so far no one has come up with an answer ..
 
Well, I hope they find out what's wrong Kadee. Sometimes it's frustrating waiting and going through more and more tests. My husband has diabetes 2 so I understand some of your problems. Once he helped someone move and didn't have anything to eat as it was further up the mts and no stores or restaurants. He came home and I saw him opening the gate and then his knees just buckled and he fell face down in the dirt. I was sure he had died. I called my grandson and as we were running out there I called 911. Well, after about 30 seconds our grandson got him awake so I told them to cancel the call. It's about 150 feet from the gate to our front door. We got him into the recliner and then about 30 mins later there was a knock on the door and a policeman was there. He came in and talked to him and tried to get him to let him call the EMTs to come check him out but he said no. I'd fed him so he was feeling better. Anyway, we thought it was nice of him to come out and check on him.
 
Saturday evening was prom night, what a blast it turned out to be. I almost, had to cancel going because of back spasms, but, I made, I just sat most of the evenig. It was nice the wives of the band members invited me to sit at their table, what fun group of women they were, made it easy to be less focused on the back pain.
 
April, I too suffer from back spasms. I refuse to take the drugs prescribed because one of the side effects could mess around with my eye sight. Today I was talking to a young lady (a relative) online, trying to give her ideas of how to get relief. I told her to try rubbing liquid Lobelia on her back. Then it dawned on me, I could try it too! So I ordered some off ebay and then emailed her that I'd share the bottle with her and we could compare notes. She is on some drugs too, which have been messing up her stomach.

 
Went to the gym this morning. Grocery shopping afterwards and since I hadn't bought tofu for a while, went to get some. It had been moved from its usual spot so I asked a staff member if she knew where it had been moved to. She said 'what's tofu?' and I tried unsuccessfully to explain it to her. She grabbed another staff person and she didn't know what it was either. Grabbed a third person who also didn't know what it was. Finally they found the guy who stocks the refrigerated vegetarian section, and he lead me to it. Now, I know it wasn't my accent as there is only one way to say 'tofu' right?

Went to the post office afterwards to mail the xmas card and check to my son's family in the US. While waiting there was a minute of silence for the Paris victims.

On the way home I stopped at my doctor's office to pick up my allergy prescriptions. I asked last week about getting 3 months worth at once as two months ahead is their limit. But the nice pharmacist sorted it out for me so I'm covered until after we come home in March.

My glucose is always normal, but I do get a headache if I go too long without eating. I have normal BP but it doesn't regulate well - orthostatic hypotension - so I have to get up slowly or I could pass out.
 
Sounds to me like AprilT went out steppin'! And had a good time besides!

I go out so little that it could be that I've forgotten how to have fun. Hm. Sometimes when my daughter goes out to run errands, grocery shopping or just to Walmart, I go along. We laugh about it and call it "and outing for Gramma".

Looks like we'll have rain here as soon as tomorrow so I hope I can motivate myself to get outside and keep a promise to myself to clean up the garden.
 
I've got house cleaning and Bella's bath on my agenda today.....been wrestling with a vacuum cleaner for weeks, can not seem to find the correct belt for it....trials and tribulations.

When all else fails, check online.

Belts for my vac come in a package of two, one to use and a spare. When I use the spare, I buy another package.
 
Leaving Tampa today and flying to Dallas tonight. Hope we have as good as weather as we had here in Tampa. Just checked the Dallas weather. Chance of bad storms tonight. It may be an interesting flight.

I'm giving the dog a bath today too. The next time the wife rags on me about dog hair all over the house, I'll give that vacuum excuse....I'd rather take the dog to get shaved, but she won't let me.

Hi Linda, when the doctors wanted to subscribe pain pills for me, I was totally against it, but when I get those spasms, boy do I have a change of heart. I was thinking of reconsidering maybe just having the pills around, for just the survierist of incidences of the pain, you know the kind, when you can barely get out of bed or make a turn, it did get that bad, but, I was determined to go to this event. I loaded up on over the counter medicinals and rubs and made it through the night. But back to the doctors, well my other doctors were more than willing and actually had in the past written scripts which I tossed, but, my knew docs looked at my medical history and right off the back both said they would be holding off on recommending pain scripts because of my seizure disorder. Well, I'm at least thankful they weren't quick to pull out the pad without a thought to my other meds and my other medical conditions, but their timing sure sucks. :rolleyes:

Either way, I had a great time at the party, and I do have a script for some patches the doctor gave me, I'll be getting that script filled this afternoon.
