What's on your agenda for today?

Good Morning all...


Kath if you're looking in at all....((((Hugs))))


It's 6.30am and I'm just getting ready for work...supposed to be a beautiful day today...well of course it will be, because I'm going to be indoors for 12 hours...:rolleyes:

Have a good day everyone... :cool:
 
Am in the hospital, so have not been able to get into SF for a few days.
My deepest condolances, Kath. Please take care of yourself.
Shali, I was so praying that you had heard something from you nephew.

It's all part of Murphy's Law, Holly. When you work from home, the weather is supposed to be ugly; when you have to go to the job and stay indoors, the sun shines.

ndynt...hospital? Hope it's not so serious that it's going to keep you there more than a day or two. And hope that at least they serve good food, don't wake you up to take pills and don't show up with a teeny tiny basin and announce, "WE are going to have a bath"!
 
And when you do visit North Carolina, Holly, don't miss the Biltmore Estate. Rivals any castle I've ever seen (and I've seen more than a few).
 
I've just had a look online at Biltmore Eastate and watched their promo video Georgia, and it does look very pretty...so if I ever get to NC ( touch wood)...I will definitely make that a place to add to my agenda...but of course coming from a country which is well known for it's Castles and huge country estates as I do... it will have a lot to live up to.. but I'm sure it's beautiful. :D
 
Nona, I'm sorry you are in the hospital. Will you have to stay long?

Today I'm keeping a close eye on my local Facebook group because there are wildfire evacuations within 10 or 12 miles of my house. :( Scary thought. It's called the Rough Fire and it's over 110,000 acres now. It started July 31st way up in the mountains near my husband's favorite fishing spots. Now it's really moved down the mountain. My brother is at our house and he'll move our big dog and outdoor cats if nessecary. There is ash falling at home and clear down to the valley. Very sad. A lot of the people in these mountains have horses and goats and they are scrambling to get them to a safe place. I think we'll go home on Monday.
 
How frightening, Linda. Especially that you are not there for your animals.
I am now home from the hospital. They did not find any further lesions. So if cancer has not returned...it is just on my neck. Surgeon wanted to do surgery..at my age..why? Refused. Had pulmonary hypertension...that was lowered into non-threatening levels...has returned to just below severe levels. Off RA meds for five days...so I have pain in places I did not know I had. Fought not to have a visiting nurse, physical and occupational therapist home visit...a MD trying to tell me I cannot live alone. Home is the last place I am not reminded of all this medical stuff...my refuge. I am normal here. Why cannot the medical profession understand that? Other than the realization that now I have completely lost any independence I had, that I am fine.
Yes, the Biltmore Estate is amazing, Georgia and Holly. I lived in the shadows of all the Newport RI mansions...do not begin to rival the Biltmore Estate.
May everyone have a wonderful weekend.....
 
Oh Linda how scarrrrryyy for you... those fires are very close,!!

Nona I;m very pleased you're home from the hospital again it must be a huge relief to you ..but OH my goodness , you're suffering so much pain and so stoical, and I absolutely agree with you, you should be in charge of YOU.!! I totally understand your horror at having to lose your total independence at home away from the medial malarkey..and now it's invaded your privacy, I'm so sorry , I hope you won't find it too much of an imposition for you..((hugs)) brave lady!! :love_heart:
 
ndynt, I hope that at least you don't have any physical barriers at home...like stairs. Do take care of yourself and try to be a patient patient when the therapists are there.

Linda, those fires scare the daylights outta me. Whatsisname, the Father of My Children, lives in CA...fortunately away from the fires, in the same town where Mrs. Robinson lives. According to him, so far the worst they've have to deal with is the smoke. Stay safe!

Hollydolly, wassup? Is today a day off or a work-from-home day for you?

Mother Nature has taken pity on us and sent some blessedly cool weather our way so my a/c and even the fan are off. Yay! And tonight? It's going to be cool enough tonight that I'll even use a blanket. Ahhhhhhh. I love fall. Well, okay, it's not fall yet, but our daytime temps most of next week will be less than 80, nighttime temps between 55-60. The week after that I'm dog sitting all week, and by then it will be almost the end of the month. October means no a/c, no fan and not having to listen to either of them "roar". Yay!
 
Nona, I am sorry you are having to go through all of this. I know you are glad to be home though. I'm like you, I want to make my own medical decisions and I don't want my doctor or anyone else trying to make them for me. Please keep us up on how you are feeling.

Fires are getting closer but I'm just trying not to worry. It's about 130,000 acres now. I guess the ash and smoke are creating quite a problem so when we get home Monday, if it's bad, we'll turn around and come back to Burbank. We had about 5 minutes of a sprinkle (rain) here this morning and I was so happy I almost wanted to run naked through it! :)
 
Georgia..(yesterday) was a full 12 hour actually close to 13 hour day for me at work!! I was absolutely sooo sore by the time I got home, when I pulled up outside the house, it took every fibre of my strength to get me prised out of the car . Off now today , working from home tomorrow , back at the pitface Tuesday!!

I do remember having that searing heat you're suffering when I lived all those years in Southern Spain...we'd pray for months for rain..and like you Linda if there was even a spit of rain we'd wanna run around naked in it..lol...even the pool isn't any relief because the water is always hot until about the end of October!.
 
Good morning everybody. It's only 55 here, and I really did get to use a blanket last night. Woohoo.

Nothing happening here today so maybe I'll just sit outside all day and read because it's going to be a pleasant and sunny 75.

The weather in southern Spain sounds about like what we had when I lived out West. I didn't realize that until you mentioned the pool, Holly. It was nice in April, May and maybe half of June and after that too warm to be enjoyable. There are pool heaters...somebody should invent pool coolers! LOL

Jujube, my all-time favorite fair food is those onion things...blooming onions? Cut through to the stem, battered and deep fried until they open up like a flower. A close second is corn on the cob that's cooked, then just swims in a vat of melted butter until the next customer comes along. Whenever I'd eat one of those heart attacks on a plate, I could almost feel my blood turning to sludge:D

Holly, enjoy your day off...and for a change, how about you underdo instead of overdo???
 
Yeah. Underdo. Sometimes I invent words:)

One I invented years ago is feasless. It's when something isn't feasible. So far, it isn't in the dictionary. Why is that? It's a perfectly good word.
 
Oooh I agree , I think that's a great word....I think we should start by using it on this forum and then hopefully it'll catch on on Social networks and before you know it, it'll be in common usage...I betcha!! :yes:
 
New shoes!! Thankfully DSW makes them affordable... I love them..
