What's on your agenda for today?

Must be the season for sneezing. Wife is down with the crappy cold that I had and I'm still coughing all night long. Just hangs on and on. Hope we all get better soon and Ameriscot, the air on a plane is the worst place to catch something. Feel better soon to you and Hollydolly.
 

Thank you muchly pappy..

Yes Annie...I have a torn disc resting on my sciatic nerve,, as well as osteorthritis in my spine V 1-2..2-4..5-6

There's nothing they can do about the OA so they say but they can help with the disc problem,..been there already and had it done in '97 first time and they are hoping I can get my surgery on the 2nd or 4th of March.

It helps more if I walk as much as I can..but the spasms just halt me completely in my tracks a lot. It's very frustrating not to be able to go to work more than anything.

Anyway thanks for your concern folks...I really appreciate it, I do , but I don't want to turn this thread into a pity party for me...so let's talk about something happier... :grin::grin:
 
Good Morning all....it is an cloudy misty morning here. Nothing specific on my agenda today, I do have netflix movies to watch, I have to get the disk, no streaming here as my data is limited, another disadvantage to living in the country....anyway, I'm rambling....AS and Holly, hope you feel better soon.....where's Georgia?
 
Good morning (it's still early here - 9:09) and a snowy day - indoor activities probably.

Sorry about your back, holly - I have OA in hips that limits my mobility, and take Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM combo and it helps quite a bit.
Feel better soon.

We are 'semi'rural so our broadband isn't as fast as in town. Most of the time Netflix streaming does fine but occasionally stops to reload.
 
I think we'll get my kayak out and go to the store. There's more water on the streets then pavement for the last two days. So really, I'll be indoors, playing on SF, playing my Hidden Object games, playing Texas Holdem with a group on pogo (fake money and every time I join a room I get another 100 tokies!!:playful: ) or, I'll be reading/starting a new book;) Oh, did I mention eating? Yes, I'll be eating too, LOL!!

Speaking of kayaks....we are planning on buying an inflatable tandem kayak to take to Thailand with us next winter. Know anything about good ones? We saw one that rolls up, the paddles fold up, and it's not much bigger than backpack.

Ohhh, I hope all of you with ache, pains, and other ailments get over them soon.

It is supposed to be the first day of a week of warmer weather today so I'll be outside this afternoon. First order of business is to finish rebuilding my fish cleaning station. The top was rotting away and the garbage disposal broke down. I've got a new disposal and most of the boards cut to replace the top.

I've got to see how that fish-cleaning is done, down here in the harbor. I guess you get pretty good at it. I wish I was set up somehow to catch my own fish. It's my fave of the "meats", well seafood anyway. We still have tons of rain goin on up here in Oreeeeeeeeegone;) No aches and pains for me, so far so good this Winter.
 
You would think living in an area surrounded by water, I'd be eating lots of seafood, fish is one of my favorite things to eat, but not since moving to Sarasota. I wish I had it within me to clean fish, I would go catch my own, the prices here are outrages and I was made privy to some info as to why, there's little market competition but, best remain mum on that bit. Sigh
 
I don't know, but you would think the grocery stores of Coos Bay Oregon would be overloaded with fish/seafood:( But it isn't. I was talking to an old guy that's been around here forever, and he says that it's just slim pickens, and so many fishermen trying to make a catch:( Sad really, we used to have such abundance. I surely support our environmentalists, compromise yes, but heads up folks, things are dwindling:(
 
Here I am! Was I conspicuous by my absence? LOL

I did have a huge house to clean on Wednesday and came home so tired that I didn't know where to put myself except sitting on my dead center until bedtime. Thursday was just the second time at a new neighbor/client's house. Oh, my...three teen daughters. Need I say more? A house that size shouldn't take more than about five hours. Shouldn't. Add 2 1/2 hours for the daughters! 7 1/2 hours is way too long to work for this old lady. I only go there once every four weeks and was worried that it wouldn't look much different before I started cleaning the first time I was there, but I was pleasantly surprised that those girls did a good job of keeping up their rooms and bathroom. By next month, it should get easier. Should! That was another day that wore me out.

Yesterday was just an ordinary day for a once-a-week client who's been with me for more than five years. Then I ran errands, came home and started my laundry, and before I knew it, it was bedtime.

I went down to visit with my son this morning. When I got home, my daughter was sprucing up the back yard and because it's a perfectly lovely "spring" day, I changed my clothes and went out to help. I swear that yard work wears me out faster than cleaning houses! Next week should be an easier week because they're all long-time clients whose homes I'm so used to that the cleaning goes quickly (knock wood).

Anyway, it's 62 and sunny, and we're expecting more of the same tomorrow. Goody. We'll have some crummy days between now and "real" spring, but today is a reminder that spring isn't far off. Yay!!!!

Hope everybody is recovering/has recovered from whatever blahs are going around and that everybody has as pleasant a day as I've had so far.
 
Ooooh glad to see you're not stuck up the chimney georgia, but oh my goodness I don't know how you manage to do all that cleaning.:chores::chores:.I'd be exhausted for a month after just one house cleaning for 7 hours never mind going back and doing some more the next day. Glad you've had a lovely day:D

I love the Lagoon 2 I think it's called. I don't know if it comes in tandem, but I'm sure something similar would. They are way easy to transport, light weight but durable for lakes and easy-goin rivers.

Go here for Lagoona Tandem

Go here for tandem

last one is another brand;)

Thanks. I like the first one best. But I do go the REI a lot when visiting Michigan. We are planning on using these in a mostly calm sea. Might be able to buy one on our trip to the US this summer so we can take it to Thailand in Dec. if we don't buy one in the UK.

I saw the Lagoon 2 single, up close and personal in a shop in Oregon. They do seem surprisingly sturdy, especially since you can pack them up and carry them over your shoulder easily. I don't know about using one in a Sea. These are not like a sea kayak, more "sit on top" type. I guess they are kind of a hybrid. You'll have to check it out and see what you guys think.

The kayak we used in Thailand was an ocean sit on top which keeps your butt wet all the time. I prefer a sea kayak but if we want to kayak any time inflatable tandem is best option. I see the US ones don't include paddles whereas the UK ones do. Cheaper in the US though.

The Gulf of Thailand is calm so not really like being in the ocean except during storms in which case we won't be out. We can buy life jackets there and since this looks like an annual winter trip we can store it there.
 
Sunday's agenda: none. Feeling worse, not better. Apparently you can have more one strain of virus at once which I think is the case. :playful: Hubby still bad. Internet and reading my mystery on the sofa.
