What's on your agenda for today?

Went for my post-surgery practice walk with step-son but went too far as I could barely get back to the house. Doc said to stop trying to overdo things but want to get totally back to full health. However, have now been told that going slow and easy wins the race.

Take it easy. Slowly, slowly.
 

Gathering together paperwork to do taxes - I really don't like doing taxes. Have started interviewing real estate agents re house sale - no fun either. It's more fun watching movies or doing crossword puzzles but have to do what's required. Is it a major bad to eat ice cream? AS - I've slowed up a bit but have found that walking makes a good-sized dent in my stress/anxiety level.
 
Did my US tax return today - don't pay of course, but still have to file. Started reorganising and cleaning out kitchen cupboards. Other housework.

Tues: gym, mail my tax return at the post office and also renew my free old people's ferry pass.
 
Gym today for a 90 minute workout. Treadmill, rowing machine and weights. Now waiting for a call regarding a potential, short term consulting gig from a large law firm where my former CFO now works. He reached out to me after I retired.
 
Well done, Bob.

Busy morning. Went to the gym - spin bike, elliptical, resistance machines (dumbbells at home later), grocery shopping, recycled bottles, US tax return has to be weighed at the post office to be mailed, renewed my free ferry pass and it's good until 2020. Bus pass will be renewed the end of the year.

Hoping for a bike ride soon especially since there will be new lambs to photograph!
 
Reviving this thread..... :)

Yesterday we bought a new (used) car. Ours is 13 years old and it's time. We will pick it up Weds. Since our bikes are very heavy because they are electric, we need a special rack for the car. So the car dealer is putting in a tow bar and we've ordered the rack which we'll pick up after we pick up the car in Glasgow. Happy I talked hubby into a smaller car - easier to park.
 
Cleaning my apartment little by little over the weekend. Getting ready for inspection on Monday. Eeeg my carpet needs cleaning but I can't help that right now. Maybe I can try to get some of the stains out though.
 
Been busy doing peripheral stuff. You know, washed the front storm door, washed kitchen curtains, emptied stuff under the sink in powder room for the plumber Tues.,washed kitchen floor, went for a walk, washed out kitchen trash can, mixed up a batch of this "ant killer" stuff I saw on Pinterest. They say to mix water, sugar and Borax and soak cotton balls and set around area. Well, so far, no takers. I have two paver paths and a patio that are filled in with sand and those little buggers just won't give up. I have tried sprays, traps, club soda and also had it all power washed and replaced all the sand this year. Last year, they came into my kitchen but caught them right away and got rid of them fast. But they bore out the sand and form ant hills! Just a nuisance not a terrible problem but I want them gone. Have to see what else I can try. I'm as determined as they are! Just finished ironing curtains, think I'm done.
 
I started of with getting up at 7...ugh....Had to be at my grandaughters swim class. She's 3 so I don't want to miss anything she does.
After that I went to Yoga, then mopped all my floors, oh exciting there. After that I was on Fb not real exciting but sure was alot of fun.
Except for the mopping, have hard wood floors an tile so it was a breeze.
 
Caught up on laundry yesterday, so just doing some housework today. Caught a cold at the wedding so have been restiing. Will be a busy week so hope I'm better soon!
 
Today, I'm going to try to finish boxing up items I'm donating to the Salvation Army, so far I've completed six large boxes. Things are moving along. :) It's strange, when you need newspaper to wrap glass it's no where to be found, when you want nothing to do with paper, it's everywhere and can't seem to get rid of it fast enough. :(

Carla, try some stuff I get at Wall Mart (but I bet they have it at hardware type stores, too). It is called Amdro Ant Block and it REALLY DOES WORK. You spread some of the little sprinkles around, and the ants take it back and it kills the whole nest. Ike on this forum tried it and it worked for him, too. Kills the ants pretty quick, and they almost never come back. I haven't had ants on my property in years. Give it a try. It only takes a little of it.
 
Just got back from the doctor's office. Had lots of blood drawn - fasting. So was starving when I got home!

Still have a cold but going to do a short muscle workout later.

I hope all your tests turn out good Annie. I am supposed to get my labs taken soon, too.
 
Coloring my hair this morning. An ashier shade of blonde with highlights. I hope it turns out like it looks on the box.

I don't have any plans today but I may take Suzy to the park for a nice walk since it won't be as hot as last week, or I hope it won't at least. lol. :)

As far as I remember, I haven't had any done since about 2010. So way overdue.

I'm never anxious to get blood drawn since I have tiny veins, but it's easy with a butterly needle. The tech was worried she wouldn't get enough blood using that, but she did.

They use the butterfly needle thingy with me, too. I am really over due for labs. I keep putting it off but not as long as you have. I have put it off since April.

I haven't really needed anything tested as far as I know. Except for allergies I don't really have any issues, but I like to get things checked out occasionally.
 
Sunshine! I've cleaned our stuff out of the car - ferry tickets, Kleenex, coins, chargers, etc. We are trading it in tomorrow.

Husband has gone into town to go swimming and pick up a few groceries. Aussie sis in law coming back tomorrow for a few days so we'll pick her up from the train station after we get our new (used) car.
 
Well, my agenda was to get to the dentist for treatment on a tooth which gave me pain 3 weeks ago. A temporary job was done then but the tooth fell apart and did not resolve fully the initial problem. So, I have been unable to bite down on that side.

Today, he assessed the state of the tooth, recommended extraction but warned that it would probably require to be a surgical extraction and could not do that for a further week. D'oh! :what1: Actually my biggest problem is that my dentist is not local and I need to travel through hellish traffic to get to him in the early morning rush.
