What's on your agenda for today?

I hope I don't get a bad cold...or a cold of any kind...because I don't like Scotch:(
 

Sit down, y'all. Breaking news! The. Sun. Is. Shining. Tomorrow would have made two weeks of clouds, rain and gloom. I'm going to go out and survey my back yard kingdom while the sun lasts!
 

Enjoy your sunny day, Georgia. Sounds like the clouds have departed.

I like some Scotch but there are one or two that make me want to gag -- the smoky bobby ones - ook.

The hot toddy is very comforting for a cold. I prefer a rum, butter, honey, hot milk concoction.
 
Rum toddy. Now that's something that I could sign up for!

The sun comes and goes, but at least it isn't raining. I did a bit of housekeeping in the garden deadheading geraniums, pulling weeds and transplanting a few things so that they'll have a good foothold before cold weather gets here.

I have a friend in Edmonton who says they're covered in ice fog this morning and it's -6C.
 
I won't be on here in the morning as we have to get up early and go into the big city for some heart tests for my husband. When the lady called this afternoon to remind us she said no caffeine for 12 hours, and I told her a couple grumpy people are going to show up! She probably thought I was joking. So at the top of my agenda for Tuesday morning is to go to Starbucks after we get out of there. Then since we are in the city we will pick up anything we need at Costco or wherever. The older I get, it seems like the more I like to be at home. What's with that?

6.15am...and georgia has sent her rain to help us grow flowers before the snows come... :winter1:It's pitch dark and pouring out there, and I have to leave for work in a little while..ooooh the joys of driving in the lashing rain and cold *stop snickering you retired folks sitting comfortable in the warm* :playful:

Linda good luck for the hospital appt. Gotta ask tho' if the tests are for your husband, why won't you be having coffee before you go?:D...or do you mean you just won't put the coffee pot on?.
 
I was asking on another thread where to get those cute little (I know they have a name but it escapes me right now) things like that face in the blowing wind Hollydolly used. :) They look fun but I'm afraid if I learn how to attach them to my posts I'll probably overdo it.

Hollydolly I'm not having coffee tomorrow early because my husband gets up at 4:30 or 5 every morning and about 7 or 8 brings me coffee in bed. I told him not to do that tomorrow as it would be cruel for him to make coffee (he usually grinds coffee beans each morning) and not be able to have any of it. He said he's going to anyway and I said if he does I won't drink it, so we'll see. Of course, IF he makes it I'll drink it. :)
 
No rain today so it can't be a toddy day. We're going to have sunshine and temps in the upper 70s and more of the same all week.

The weather forecast is back to predicting a 20% chance of rain on Saturday. Sheesh! What a yo-yo forecast. First they say it will, then they say it won't, then they say it might, then it might not.

If this blankety-blank neighborhood yard sale doesn't happen on Saturday, I am going to be so over it! All our stuff is ready to go (and I do mean GO) and gathering dust in the garage. Most of the neighbors say the same.
 
Georgia, send me your temps please! It's mild here and drizzly - maybe 55-60.

Finally went back to the gym today and had a good workout, although it was a struggle after all this time being lazy.

Ugandan daughter and her friend are coming tomorrow and will stay until Saturday. So I'd better make up the beds today.
 
Good morning to all, it is a cool morning here, rain predicted for Thursday....we'll see.

Dental appointment this morning, then grocery shopping for mom.

Linda, what a nice hubby you have.

Annie, I understand the struggle, I've been 'going to' start walking again for weeks now.
 
Funny you should mention the "start walking" thing, Jackie. Daughter and I were just talking about going for a walk this morning, depending on whether or how much work she has. When we walk (rarely anymore and not in the past two weeks because of the rain), it's the only exercise I get. We used to make time whenever I wasn't working to walk a minimum of a mile.

I REALLY need to move around more. Use it or lose it!

It's tough after going more than a month with only walking as exercise. I think a lot of my muscle has 'dissolved'.
 
Work with mine, Shalimar! It's young; it's just the rest of me that's old:)

Daughter and I just finished our walk. An hour at a pretty good pace...except more like a stroll on the way back. LOL
 
We were going dancing ,however yesterday , while we were preparing the passage for painting .Hubby was putting no more gaps in slight gaps between the wall and skirting boards he had a bucket of water ,he finished and came out to the kitchen for a cuppa, I said oh I'm just going to the toilet first , I use the ensuite right up the front of the house ( The house is 18 mtrs deep kitchen family dinning at back of house bedroom at front) .. Anyway he had picked up the bucket of water and not bothered to wipe up spills from taking rag in and out of water to wipe up spots of filler.... As a result I slipped ( I had thongs on) and fell and have hurt my knee . I was not very happy :hit:.. He is very aware the tiles are very slippery when wet ..... think I'll be out of action for a while my knee cap area has quite a bruise and the inside area of knee is quite sore
 
Kadee, one word: OUCH!

Guess there's no dancing in your immediate future. And is your husband in the dog house now? Bet he'll never neglect that little bit of housekeeping again!
 
I taught my first class today. What fun. The shiny young darlings were a bit surprised when I turned up in full regalia, shiny gold cowboy boots, nose ring, Sikh suit et al. Wild red hair everywhere. Lolololol. I soon had them laughing. Sociology, a la Mermaid. Lol. One girl wanted to know where I got my bracelets and "boss girl" boots.
 
Kadee46, I can really feel for you with the knee pain. My right knee has been hurting for about a year and a half now. I hope yours is better soon. I bet your husband feels bad it's his fault you slipped though. :(

Annie, I went over to your blog and read all about your Uganda stay and looked at the photos. I would have been too big of a chicken to go so I found it all very fascinating. I can see what a wonderful experience it was for you and your husband and also the what a feeling it must give you to know all the good you did for those beautiful people.

Next I'm going to read about Scotland. I did look at the photos and your husband looks cute in his kilt. Supposedly my husband's family is from Scotland way way back but I do know when they came over they came directly from Ireland so who knows. I'm glad you are writing about the places you live and visit.
