What's on your agenda for today?

LOL..in all seriousness I am taking it as easy as possible...o/h has had today off so he's being doing everything for me..except I had to cook my own dinner, but he's done everything else ....the pain now is more severe than it was earlier, but I was expecting that, so I'm hoping that it won't last for more than a few days.

He's back to work tomorrow and for the rest of the week so I just have to be very careful for a while...I just have to curtail my inherent impatient nature.. :(
 
Holly - I'm so glad that you are now done with the hospital thing and you seem to be feeling much better! The pain may be a really big bother right now but by taking it very easy for the necessary amount of time, it will ultimately be history. Suki my dog and I send big hugs!
 
Good morning. Another nice day. Yippee.

Holly, another day closer to complete recovery. Another yippee:)

Today's client is right across the street, and while most times she doesn't want me to be there before 10, she has an early appointment today so I can be there earlier and home earlier. I really don't like working until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Yippee seems to be the word for the day for me!

So...off to get my second cup of coffee, boogie on over there and get started. Sooner started, sooner done.
 
It's a sunny day here for change and I will be out for a walk later in the morning.

March has been a stormy month and I'm glad it is almost over, April is bound to be warmer.

Holly, Thinking of you as you recover, remember to take good care of yourself.

Enjoy the day everyone.
 
Well folks.... wish us luck.. Hubby and I have had a piece of property up for sale for a year. We just reduced the asking price a week ago, and we received an offer last night. Of course it was really low ball, so we countered and came down even further... Hoping they accept, or come back with a more reasonable offer. This whole deal is something that has been stopping us from making more concrete plans for our future after I retire.. It will be great to have it behind us.
 
Thinking positive thoughts here, QS. Doncha just hate the low ball offers? A price reduction isn't good enough, they have to low ball that, too. Ugh. I hope they come back with something more reasonable so that you can get on with your plans.

To be honest, we DID have it overpriced to begin with. I really needed time to get into the emotional place of making the sale.. So we came down to something more realistic, with a reduction of $10 grand... well they came in $10 grand below THAT price! Yeah.. a real low ball.. We did counter coming down another $5K which is pretty much where I expected to be.. so we will see what happens. It's a buyers market still.. But I don't want to give it away either.
 
QS, good luck with the sale at a price you're happy with. How long until you retire?

Holly, hope you're taking it easy and have less pain today.

Up earlier than normal this morning. Went to they gym and DH went swimming. Then I went grocery shopping and he caught the ferry and train over to Glasgow to see about finding his uncle a new nursing home.

Good shopping this morning - several things we use often were on sale for £1 each so I bought tons. The cashier took my £10 off coupon and asked if I had more. I also have a £5 one and she took that as well! Can't complain about £78 worth of groceries for £63, eh?

Home workouts this afternoon.
 
Don't put it off for so long that there's no time to do the things you want to do! Look who's talking. The cleaning lady who's retired from three careers and can't seem to make retirement "stick"! I guess the upside is that this time I'm doing something I like to do:)

That makes a huge difference. If you love your job, it's harder to find reasons to quit. I was never lucky enough (or made the right decisions) to work in a job I loved.

Me neither, Annie, I was ready to get out of there, retired as soon as I could.

Nice sunny warm day here, I'll be outside trying to whip this yard into shape.

Lovely sunny day here as well although it started out cold with frost on the car!

I retired at 55 and was quite happy to. I have my DH to thank for volunteering in Africa!

Well wishes for you and hubby to get this property sold soon at a price that's most satisfactory to both of you. :)

Beautiful sunny day here in FL. I'm just going to work on some paper craft projects I found on youtube that looked like a good way to recycle my fabric scraps and old magazines.. More stuff to make a mess around here that I don't need, butt, I think I will make a quick system this time to put it all away at the end of the day or to hide in a need for a mad clean up dash when company comes. :D
 
When I retired from the first three, I was way beyond ready to get gone. This time, not so much. For one thing, I like my clients. For another, I adore *my* dogs!

Holly, how's the back doing? Less pain?

QS, is there a time limit on when the potential buyers need to reply?
 
It really is difficult to leave a job if you really enjoy doing it! Actually, I haven't known a lot of people who loved their jobs enough to put off retirement which is a bit sad. I made a number of idiot career decisions which made for a very frustrating work life.

When I want to include a quote when I'm replying to someone, I've been copying the quote and the clicking on the Quote icon. Howver, after I finish typing my message and post it, the quote disappears. What am I doing incorrectly? Help!

Hi Georgia, yes less pain thanks for asking and thank Goodness too..still twinges of pain but I'm taking it easy because I don't want to do anything remotely strenuous in case the Pain returns and then I won't know for sure whether I was the cause or if the procedure itself hasn't worked.

Cabin fever unfortunately is setting in now big time..I'm not good at being indoors and unable to get on and do stuff...

Thanks Holly! I was clicking on the wrong icon but as soon as I read your description I could see what I'd done wrong. I hope your pain level is improving so you can return to doing things like before. I went to a surgeon to see if I could get back surgery but he said I wasn't a good surgical candidate which was disappointing but I wasn't too surprised. Will you need to get physical therapy when you've recovered from the surgery? PT has really helped my back and also shoulders. I'm sure glad your out of hospital now!
 
Glad I was of some help Kath.:D

No I won't need any PT if the results go as well as I hope they will. I'm thoroughly sick of PT's now I've been having PT for the last 2 years just to enable me to go to work, and it has cost me a fortune every week ..so hopefully no more
I'm really sad for you that you were turned down for back surgery but perhaps the surgeon felt it wouldn't alleviate the cause of your pain..poor you.. :(

Thank you for thinking of me..love to you and suki.. xx
 
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Holly. I have the greatest empathy for you. May you be up and running very soon. I too am not a good candidate for surgery. Have gone through two years of Pain clinics and all sorts of procedures and PT too.
