What's on your agenda for today?

It's 6.30am...I'm just getting ready for work..an 11 hour day ahead of me as usual if I can get through it..fingers crossed.
 

Holly, hope your back doesn't give you any grief today.

Grocery shopping and picking up prescription. Then my lower body muscle routines. The rest of painting in bathroom when hubby is done.

Also will be bombarding you all with my photos!
 
Fingers crossed for you, Holly. Here's hoping that you get through the day without pain...by now you're six hours into it?

And Ameriscot? Bombard away! The view from your bus stop is gorgeous.

Holly, I managed to get through the great big house yesterday. But. The client's girlfriend, her two kids, her cousin and her cousin's newborn were all living there as well while the client was remodeling girlfriend's house. It was finished two weeks ago, and she was supposed to have moved out but wasn't quite done. Seems she took all the cleaning supplies. All. Of. Them. She and the cousin were still there yesterday morning, getting ready to go to her newly-remodeled house. On their way out the door, she said "Hope it's not too much trouble to clean today" while she and the cousin laughed their butts off. When I went to the laundry room to get the cleaning supplies, I discovered there was nothing there. Nothing! Wait. That's a lie. There was a bottle of white vinegar, which can't be used on marble counters and he has lots of those.

I usually have spares of stuff I really need...except for yesterday. It was a real treat to try to clean the stainless steel without SS polish or even some baking soda! After the first 3 1/2 hours, I'd done what I could, mostly just wiping up but able to polish all the mirrors and glass shower enclosures, clean the hardwood floors, dust and vacuum. Then I gave it up. Decided that I'd earned every darned cent so instead of paying myself by the hour, took the entire flat amount of cash that we'd agreed on for working 5 to 6 hours and that he leaves on the kitchen counter.

I was fuming and definitely not a happy camper. I even thought about sending him a text and telling him that I wouldn't be back but decided that it was silly to punish him because I was ticked at her. Doubt that he had a clue that she "purloined" his cleaning supplies.

Anyway, today should be somewhat easier, even with two teen and one pre-teen girls in the family. And they live just a block away:)
 
Georgia, just uploaded a few dozen in both threads! Sounds like a royal pain in the butt for you yesterday!

Change of agenda for us. Ugandan daughter was in Glasgow for training and is taking a few days off to spend with us. We haven't seen her since we left for Thailand the end of November. So hubby has gone over to Glasgow to get her on the train. They are going to the cinema first. I've already done the grocery shopping and picked up goodies for her.

This means work on the bathroom will be delayed until she goes back on Monday. Wet paint would not be a good idea. We'll need to clear out all the tools, paint, etc in the guest room that she uses. Bought her some pretty things in Thailand that I know she'll love.
 
stacking wood once again, getting my column ready for this week......my dad always said "a change is as good as a rest." that is the nice thing about retirement/well simi something different each day......I watched the Rat Patrol last night anyone remember that show?

Sounds vaguely familiar. Who was in it?
 
Jackie...we've got a similar landscape here. It's at about 6 inches right now and coming on strong.

QS...there are ways to make the tax bite less sharp, like starting a business at home online so you can expense a bunch of stuff for tax purposes. GeorgiaX probably knows of some things one can expense when working for oneself, such as advertising, cleaning supplies, car (and gas) expenses, part of your home, etc.

Hope everyone has a great day with as little precipitation as possible!

Georgia, no new words. I know them all! Nearly done now.

Sunny today. Snow has nearly all melted even though we really got dumped on yesterday. Early evening we had lots of hail.

Snapped this one with my phone when I went to the bus stop this morning.

Very nice. Water and mountains hard to beat.

Not much on the agenda today. Yesterday it was 72 and I played golf in shorts. Today it is 36 and wet. Crazy. I will watch old movies and fool around on the internet today.
 
ell change is good.....just returned from picking up granddaughter she is not feeling well....two hour round trip, she will spend the night worth every minute of the task....
 
Good morning, y'all. It's cold here this morning, but we might get sunshine. That would be welcome after a week of overcast sky.

Yanno, sometimes I'm not feeling this cleaning stuff. I hope I have the intestinal fortitude to stick it out a while longer. Like until the end of the year maybe.

Hope it's not sNOwing on anybody or too cold or too rainy. Everybody should have a sunny day, and the weather should be like in Camelot where it only rained at night!

Holly, how did it go yesterday?
 
It got up to 46F here yesterday. Feels about the same today. Cloudy and a bit breezy.

Went to the gym this morning but cut my workout short by about 10 mins. I was struggling. And I've got yet another sore throat! Time to go to the doctor I think. This has been going on for too long which is very unusual for me.
 
Not much planned for the day other than trying on outfits for this evening, I'm getting too good at this, I've already narrowed it down especially since this place is pretty casual and I'm not even going to wear heels. YAY! no heels tonight, comfortable sandals. Will be going to hear a band, maybe do a little dancing if my back lets me. But off to Siesta Beach Club for the evening for a fun time with my meetup group.

The band this evening, but there will be other music as well.

 
Hi everyone,

It's taken me all day to have the energy to come and sit for more than 2 minutes at the PC..but I'm here now...

Georgia..thanks for asking sweetie..yesterday was a bit of a trial but I managed to get through it without too much pain just a few PK's and my team were stars so not too difficult, except by the time my day was over the pain had set in hard and it was difficult driving home...today..can you believe I've picked up the worst cold I can remember having for years. I felt it coming on yesterday..and today I've taken Contac all day but it's not stopped the streaming nose. I don't know anything else that would stop it..does anyone else? I rarely ever get colds..maybe once every 10 years or so but when I get them, Boy, do I get 'em, and they really lay me low ( bluddy nora I sound like a right hypochondriac) lol.

I slept for 2 hours this afternoon...but I have to get better because I've got a 12 hour working day ahead of me tomorrow.

Georgia it does sound like you are getting a bit weary of the cleaning, maybe it's just a blip at the moment, but I hope you can stick it put if only for the financial side of it.

Annie..you've been suffering waaaay too long with this, I agree you really need to see the GP..I'm sure you'll need AB's.. hope you get to see someone soon.

April wow I haven't been on a night out like that for ages, sounds like you're going to have a great time..I'm jealous. ..and no heels either, even better :D

Holly, sorry you're having a time. It's been touch and go all week for me too, I've been deciding if this outing was going to happen all week just up till today, my back has been locked up like you wouldn't believe. Lots of hot pads and all kinds of creams and over the counter pain pills and I think I'll be able to hand the night as long as I don't make any quick twisty moves in the wrong way. But it's been more than six weeks since I've been out on the town and I just need to get out and do something fun, so tonight's the night. Good thing I see my pain doc on Monday, not that he'll be able to help with my back, but, at least I may be able to get a script for PT, I'm sure with time the pain will ease up, but, it's one of those things that's alway there, just sometimes the kind that keeps you in bed reoccurs, not really all that much you can do about it, aside from the usual but wait it out. Sigh.

Hope you get much better soon.
 
Oh April I really feel for you with the back being a fellow sufferer I know how you must be feeling...so be verrrry careful tonight, and just enjoy it and don't make yourself poorly.. and btw don't burn your back with the hot pads like I did..it's taken 2 weeks and the burns still haven't cleared up..I'm using ice packs now well wrapped up in a tea towel..they seem to relieve the spasms better than the heat.
 
Thank you, I'm going to enjoy the evening no matter what, even it it just means sitting all night and dancing in my seat enjoying the sights and sounds around me. :) I'm going to go start getting ready soon, I'm meeting a friend earlier to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the club. I want to have time to digest the food well before the music starts.

Hope you have a nice weekend.
 
Holly - So sorry your back is so giving such trouble. Sometimes it seems like everyone has some sort of back issue. Hope you feel lots better tomorrow.

April - Have a great time listening to music and dancing! Wow! Sounds like so much fun!
 
I have been invited out for dinner, (pacific time out here), so it is time to primp! Little black dress,and high heeled shoes here I come. The mermaid is going to party tonight! I hope we can dance as well.:cool:
 
A baseball game this afternoon (high school grandson),then a basketball game (12 yo grandson) and then we have a table for 8 reserved at 8pm at our local brewery (it`s new with great food). Live band tonight and I am soooooo ready for a night out! Have 3 kids right now-1o yo boy,special needs,and 16 and 17 yo girls. Well the 17 yo ran away night before last but they expected that she would. So it`s been one heckofa week,what with enrolling all three in new schools,dealing with the cops on the runaway,taking said runaway`s dog to the animal shelter because two weeks of listening to this dog bark has done me in-let`s just say I told hubby they may have to drag me out of there tonight to get me to come home :)
 
Been out for my friend's birthday dinner; skirt and heels!
great evening.
