What's on your agenda for today?

When wife and I go to the grocery store or Wal Mart and hear someone coughing.........we walk real FAST to get away from them! Unfortunately, when a person is in a restaurant and someone gets seated and starts coughing/sneezing, you just can't get up and leave. Sometimes we really wish that sick folks would just STAY AT HOME, but we know that will never happen. We're just glad we got our Senior Flu shot again this year.

Sneeze, wipe nose, cough....rinse and repeat. Went to the eye doctor yesterday afternoon and I'm going to have to have laser posterior capsulectomy done in both eyes. Not a big deal; in and out in five minutes. Came home and immediately started coming down with a cold. Went to the walk-in clinic this morning...sinus infection...antibiotics. Last week was the stomach bug. Can't wait to see what fate has in store for next week....leprosy, anyone?

Ive had a day indoors today its been trying to snow ,bitterly cold.. had a delivery of a wooly jumper , nice fit so ordered another , Everything is so much cheaper online .
 
Oh don't be fooled Lady..not everything is cheaper online by a long chalk.. you really do have to shop around..

Daughter had her banadages removed from her fingers today where she'd had a second surgery to try and re-knit the ligamnts which weren't healing from the last surgery following a fall over a cliff last year.

She sent me the pictures of her fingers knitting together...*oooh dear* it looks soo painful... you wouldn't want to see them, and she's being so stoical and brave about it all too..
 
Holly, I really hope your daughter's hand gets well very soon. It's always a big worry when one of our kids gets sick or needs surgery. Right now, it's snowing buckets - there's about 5 or 6 inches of it on the ground already. Today, before the snow began I decided to drive to the store for some supplies. Two days ago, I had new tires put on my car so I figured even if the roads got slippery, the new tires would take care of that situation. So this morning I drove off and about 4 blocks from home the car started making a weird noise, so I stopped, got out, and OMG! 3 of the new tires were flat! It is now at the dealership and they are trying to determine what happened. One probable cause is the extreme cold which can cause contraction of the aluminum rims. This allows air to escape from the tire. Due to the snowstorm, I may not get the car back for a couple of days. Right now, I'm feeling kind of rattled but really tired mostly.
 
busy day stacking wood grandchildren over tonight playing with toy trucks giving piggy back rides...granpa is now tired...than thye left and the phone rang and I got a part in the play 'you Can't Take it with you'...the part of Mr. Kirby
 
Ronald J., I'll bet you are very tired as wood-stacking can wear a person out. My dad used to chop wood when he was stressed out - he felt more relaxed after he completed that chore. Congratulations on getting a part in the play...it really sounds like fun! You've given me an idea....I'm going to try to round up some of the folks in my community to put on a play! BTW, where is the Thumb?
 
Holly, hope your daughter is doing better now. Ronald, congrats on your part. Kath, I never heard of that happening with tires before, you learn something new every day.

I spent yesterday shovelling and now looking out the window see the plow has put a great deal of it back in my driveway. Will forego walk today, will be enough exercise shovelling.
 
Thanks Kath, AS and Rose for your best wishes for my daughter...her hands will take a long time to heal if they do, and we're hoping they will because she has had one of the best surgeons in Spain working on them. She's due to get the stitches out on friday

Ronald...break a leg matey, hope you have a great first night..

Oh Kath what a scare for you with the tyres, I hope they sort something out for you pretty darn quick..
 
Kath, what a strange thing to happen on your car.

Holly, hope your daughter continues to heal.

It is raining here this morning....the only thing on my agenda today is to gather up my tax info...... everyone have a good Thursday.
 
the thumb is in Michigan......today I am paying some bills, maybe doing a puzzle, reading through the play and not stacking wood.....the wood I stack is for a local saw mill I help there part time and trade my time for wood to heat my house and when I have enough for heat I trade for federal reserve notes. aka cash

Well, I'm heading out of town for several days to stay with my best bud, big surprise party for her planned and her sister is picking us up tomorrow from her place and we're then headed over to her dads home. The travel, because of the way I have to do this trip, will wreck havoc on my body, but, I figure, with all going on with the immigration issues in my friends life, this could be the last time we have some real time together if things don't go her way, so, I don't want to have regrets about not making the effort to be there. She's like a sister to me, so this is way more important that my aches and pains.

Heading to Greyhound in less than two hours from now. Normally, she would make the round trip to come get me, but, due to the issue I mentioned, she hasn't been able to renew her DL in the past two years, so Greyhound bus it is, GH bus I'm dreading. Deep breaths and it will be over till it's time to return home.

Hope you all have a great rest of week, I will try to check in when possible.
 
Recovery day after a busy week of appointments and running around - might dust around a bit, but maybe not. Feet up, good book, knitting and/or watch some netflix.
 
Have a good trip April - I'll bet the Greyhound buses are a lot more comfortable now than they were the last time I was on one (1988 - Toronto to Montreal). It can be very restful and scenic - napping, reading, etc. And no smoking anymore, thank goodness.

Thank you Cookie. Hope you have an enjoyable rest of week. I'm going to miss watching you all solove puzzles in the Catchphrase section for sure.

I better get a move on it, I'm sure to forget something or not turn something off. LOL.
 
Just came home from having a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate. Still a little woosie from the anesthesia and not much fun having a urinary catheter for the next few days. But this too shall pass and hopefully peeing will return to being only an occasional interruption to life's normal pleasures.
 
Bon voyage April! (What is catchphrase section?) And Josiah, I hope you feel more like yourself very, very quickly.

Still waiting for my car dealer to fix my tire problem but couldn't use the car anyway because today we had more snow so I wouldn't be driving on the streets the way they are now. Instead, I've paid some bills and started reading the book that the local Book Club will be critiquing next time. Holly, I record most of the stuff I watch for the same reason you do - too many ads. I'm quite hooked on Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Outlander (love it!), etc. so absolutely have to record these - if I ever missed an episode I'd pass totally out.
 
Hasta La Vista April we'll miss you...hope you have a great time partying with your friend..and leaving all of us behind..not inviting us, and not even bringing us any cake back..but hey ho we still wish you a wonderful time..cuz we is nice like that :cool::laugh:. I have never been on a GH bus so I have no idea it would be so arduous it always looks fun in the movies....:D

Kath this is the Catchphrase section April's talking about... https://www.seniorforums.com/showthread.php/10929-Catchphrase-(Based-on-the-UK-TV-Panel-Game)

LOL well if you ever miss an episode of any of those British dramas you can always get it on catch up tv ..you can have my share too cuz I don't like them..

Jackie thanks so much for your best wishes for my daughter.. :)

Josiah...hope you're not feeling too poorly after your procedure , and everything gets back to normal for you in the next few days..you sound very stoical and postive about it anyway..:)
