Guess who bit the bullet and bought a new (hopefully improved!) giveaway widget? Yeahhhh this GIRL! ME! The Head Peanut. I hope that you like it. I hope it’s easier to use. ESPECIALLY that dang tweet button!! RIGHT!??!??! If something doesn’t work or needs more explanation let me know ASAP and I will fix it. (OR as you all know me so well, I could very well break it! There is always that chance. Although, I call it the ghost of PBnWhine).

The first cataract surgery went great on the 31st. The doctor and the staff were AMAZING!!! Although after all the numbing and pain meds wore off……… wellllllll lets just say I was NOT fond of the surgery. Today June 1st, much better pain-wise. Although, having my left eye needing a LOT of correction and my right eye having clear vision, well, IT’s WEIRD!

Anyway, thank you all for your well wishes. I hope tomorrow I’ll be back to answering comments. Today? I think I will go close my eyes again.

Now for the REAL reason you are here!!

    We went to Pittsburgh yesterday. The reuse store had unsorted books and magazines at $10 a bag (paper grocery bag, so you could get a lot for that) and all other books were 50% off. I found some cross stitch books and some quilting books I’m going to pass on to the youth center in my town. The youth center has all these 10 year olds quilting. It’s kinda funny actually. What 11 year old has made a quilt in the last 100 years? 🙂 It’s great, even if it is kind of humorous. Then we went to Goodwill outlet. I found a whole cart of great stuff for eBay. I wanted to look more but I was so beat I could barely walk by that point. I have stayed in bed all day today and was awake so many times hurting last night. My step-mother-in-law thinks I should get a job in security. When I get this exhausted and in this much pain being on my feet for 3.5 hours, how could I work security?

    Well it was supposed to rain for 3 days so I’ve held off watering the gardens because it was doused to rain. The rain kept getting pushed back so I decided to set up the garden sprinklers this morning and the soaker hoses. I made fresh Raspberry sorbet, blackberry fruit leather and black &blueberry frozen yogurt pops. Also got the bed around the arbor edged and cleaned out and the forever is no rain. You bet your behind it feels like rain.

    the day is going well. it’s really windy out there so there was lots done indoors – laundry washed, dried, folded, on hangers, washed the kitchen and bathroom floor, dusted (there’s always dust here!), made some meals to put in the freezer for later. wondering where June went. thanks

    I like fans better then AC. Of course if it is really hot I would turn in on. So this morning I cleaned the fans up. Got on the dust off them and the blades. Then had to vac all the mess up.

    I finally managed to get my laundry done and was just about to start digging again when it started to rain & hasn’t really stopped since. Sent off a couple of emails to Dad’s sisters. He would have been 91 on the 28th. Mum’s 91st is on the 7th July. AND, in 15 years & a couple of months, I’ll be 80!!! How the flipping hell did that happen? And will I ever grow up?

    Today has been a very rainy day! I just hung around the house being lazy. Tomorrow is my grandson’s 26th birthday. 🥳 He was in the Marines 4 years and they wanted him to stay. They were going to give him a promotion and more money. He said no way. But if there’s a war he has to go back in and fight 😥

    I’m having a tough time with the last bit of the HUGE flower bed. It’s full of rocks 🙁 Almost like a riverbed, which I suppose it could have been, as there’s a small stream about 10 feet away in the next field. I’ll get there eventually. I’ve a ton of laundry to do but the farmer’s spreading slurry. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it’s basically poo from the cattle sheds over winter. It’s stored in underground tanks then pumped out & sprayed on the fields as fertiliser. And yes, it smells!

    I have been a very busy girl! I’ve been outside every day weeding the flower gardens I got at up and I got the Veggie garden weeded this morning before the rain came (I’m still waiting on the rain btw. It was supposed to start around 11am). I’m thinking I may head out and see how much I can get done on the next flower bed. It’s one that contains a seating area with a bench under our grape arbor and one I have to my girls to do what they want with. I need to thin out the vines on the grapes too.

    How am I doing? Finished the paperwork to appeal the disability decision for my husband. He has so many things going on, and I can’t figure out why they didn’t approve it. (Well, part of the reason could be they didn’t request information from our doctor and made a decision without it.) I’ve been reading the book Isaac’s Storm about the 1900 Galveston hurricane. Not that one has anything to do with the other, but I am looking forward to getting back to my book.

    It bucketed down non-stop yesterday & it’s gone cold again. More like November than almost July. I had a couple of much-needed naps & didn’t do much else. It’s supposed to be dry all day today & if that’s true then I’ll start on the last section of the flower bed.

    I was in for my PRE op class this morning started at 8am. Received a big notebook full of all kinds of information. including pictures. Then it was off to this woman, talked about prescriptions and what they would give me for pain. Then new xrays of both knees. It was going great moving right along……………. and then.

    They put me in a room to wait on the PA to go over and sign the final paperwork. They close the door and the air conditioning was on full. I was freezing! After a 1/2 hr I opened the door, rest room right accross the hall. Came out I walk up and down the hall to warm up and I didn’t see anyone. Finally a woman came out of a room I stopped and asked if I was forgotten. Another 20 minutes nobody so here comes another woman.. I asked her somebody will be with you soon. I waited 1 hr 30 minutes and finally she showed up!

    Time she finished with me and I had blood work done I had been there for 4 1/2 hrs

    Last night, when I got back from the rescue centre, I dropped a big tub of my fave natural Greek yoghurt – both feet & legs covered in it. I don’t know if you’ve ever walked in Crocs full of yoghurt, my advice is don’t! Anyway, finally got the mess cleaned up, the shopping put away & was settling down for the evening when there’s this big growling & hissing on the doorstep. Two young foxes eating the food I’d put out for the stray cats, who were complaining from under the car. The foxes were so close I coud have reached out & touched them & they were so hungry they didn’t run away. Absolutely wonderful moment.

    I ordered a new fan from amazon and recived it yesterday. I had to push it on the carpet to get it in my apartment. This morning I got my knife out and opened the brown cardboard box. Inside was another brown cardboard box smaller then the first box stuffed full of brown paper. So I open that box and there is a white printed store box for the fan. For a total of 3 boxes for one fan.

    Easy put together took just minutes.

It’s been 30 years since I’ve seen y BFF — and I called him tonight and he forgot we were visiting this weekend. I’m bummed to say the least, but we’re planning on visiting in September.

    I have lost a hard boiled egg! Not everyday you get to say that but it’s a fact. I left 2 out of the fridge (still in their shells) so they wouldn’t be too cold for my dinner. Finished digging & planting, went to put the meal together – only one egg, and that was on the floor. I have searched high & low but no sign. Maybe one of the cats played with it & it’s rolled somewhere I can’t see or one of the strays stole it! I hope it’s the latter ‘cos the thought of it rotting turns my stomach 🙁

    Well, the roadworks started on the dot of 8 this morning so no turning over & going back to sleep. It did need doing though. It’s not even a proper road, more of a laneway, wide enough for one car with pull-in areas here & there. There were so many potholes. Now they’re stripping the whole thing right back & re-tarring the lot. Can’t wait till they start spraying the tar – I love the smell!
    I finished digging the 3rd section of the flowerbed. Tomorrow I’ll add rotted compost & dig it in, then more planting.

We took down the fencing around our blueberry bushes because it was falling apart. Then I was able to get in under the bushes and weed where we found 2 male saplings and 2 cherry tree saplings. We attempted to replant the cherry saplings in our orchard where we have several trees missing due to diseases etc and they had to be cut down. Fingers crossed they survive the transplant process and we have 3 Cherry trees instead of the one.

    THIS I HAVE TO TELL

    Great niece’s grandma stopped by last night to bring me some cupcakes from a kids party. She stayed and we got to talking…………..

    Got great niece two Live looking baby dolls Boy & Girl. The first time she took them to church people though she had a real baby.

    Last night Z was telling me Zay had the dolls at her apartment. She undressed the boy and Z said she just looked at him with her mouth open. She said what is that and Zay said its his Penis. And what does the girl doll have a Vagina.

    Z said zay didn’t thing anything about, no questions she knew so mommy must have told her.

    I have laughed so much about that I had no ideal that live looking baby dolls were that real!!!

    Learn something new everyday!!

      Remindsme of the 1970s when they came out with the doll of the baby from All In The Family. Do you remember that? It was Archie Bunker’s grandson, Gloria’s baby boy. And, yep, the doll was very accurate, lol. It had a penis.

    I had an assessment appointment at the lymphedema clinic today, and I have to start going back there for a while. (They do massage that reduces edema.) Fine by me. The massage feels great and it really works to get rid of edema, which I get sometimes due to being in a wheelchair most of the time.

    Good news of the day: my phone works!!! Had it on a sunny windowsill all day.
    Bad news: I’ve hurt my back carrying a Bernese pup. There’s 4 of them at the shelter, handed in last week. The owner was in an accident and can’t cope with them. They’re only 2 months old and are real roly-polys and will be huge. More abandoned kittens than you can count. We’re absolutely chock-a-block yet still they come.

    The weather is finally consistently warm here, so that’s nice. I went for a nice stroll with the dog, so it was a good day.

    No, I’m never bored. I try to not assume I can do too much in one day, never enough time. My hobbies can suck up too much time, and it is easy to deprioritze things like shredding, cleaning closets, small repairs, not much fun compared to making fun things to give away, sometimes to keep!!!!

    I included linen curtains I just finished. It was over $130 just for the fabric – on sale – one pair. But this way I could get them just right, the header, etc., wide hems. You can’t tell that is is bright sunlight and they are optic white color. I don’t know how to take pictures in blinding sun. It looks dark! Hmmmmm.. also pls ignore if there was included a photo of a big scratch on metal, that was for a repair. woops. I couldn’t see how to unattach!

    I’m doing good. A little jittery at the moment, I’m trying out washing my dry-clean only slipcovers. Trying out the ottoman, have to get it out of the dryer soon, but have the heat on low. Honey I shrunk the otto… I hope not!! I’m about to find out…. but it was hundreds to dry clean sofa, chair, ottoman, and quite a few pillows all the same fabric.

      I was wore out today! I did some heavy cleaning yesterday. I was totally exhausted, but when my daughters and granddaughter invited me to go to Bingo together, I couldn’t turn them down! We went and didn’t win. It was fun 🤩 Today though I was achy and sore.
      That was my day today. Plus it’s my ex-son-in-law’s birthday 🥳 He was my son-in-law for 25 years and I cared for him and still do. I don’t know what went wrong in my daughter’s and his marriage and it’s none of my business. I still want the best for both of them and their 4 children – my grandchildren 😍 I have prayed and left it in God’s hands! Have a good night 😴

    I HAVE an IDEA!! (Don’t cringe like that! It’s a good one! Honest!

    Since I can’t change that stupid 24-hour clock. WHAT if I added like 5 more comment options? If you can’t comment on one, go to the next?

    Thoughts? We will get a work around.

    A group I am in watched “The Contestant” and decided to see how much we could all win this summer. I decided to make a potholder with a three leaf clover design for the winner. (Or runner up if I win.) Should be a fun competition. I am currently in 2nd place with $27 of wins, and first place won a $150 instant on June 1. I am enjoying making the potholder and wondering who will claim it. 🙂

      Denise, RIGHT!?!?!? I mean FIRST, I think the pictures should pop up in the comment section. AND you should be able to capitation the pictures. Someone needs to design a better giveaway tool system.
      I am so glad you like this system.

    So glad the first surgery went well for you! Here’s to the next one. I haven’t been entering for a couple of months – gave up entering comps. completely. They were just taking up too much time & I didn’t have that time to spare, so I can’t comment on the change to rafflecopter. The 24 hour limit was a pain though, maybe because of the time difference between you & Ireland.

    Still digging my flower bed. I’m doing it in stages as it’s so big. Today I sowed wildflpower seeds in the part I’ve finished.

    There is something that I do not like about this form is that it keeps time! I try and fill out the forms when I have time and this form practically tells you when you can fill it out after 24 hours.

    Sorry, but to be honest, I like the old giveaway form it just flowed beter for me and was easier to see and use. I will try my hardest to adjust I just don’t do well with change. I wasn’t even able to enter yesterday as it was not showing up for me here all day. Thank you for the chance though to win your blog is my favorite hands down.

    I adore the truck idea for the plants! My mom knitted blankets with good sheeps wool, etc., and they are now family heirlooms. Well worth doing! You have such creative ideas, and nothing stops you, even only being able to kind of see out of one eye!

      Rose, this cracked me up!! It’s soooooo weird seeing out of my NEW eye. The big foggy thing is gone but my eye feels like it vibrates?? It’s such a weird feeling.
      I haven’t worked on my cute little truck. I’m trying to decide if he should be inside on the plant table or outside for the squirrels to sit in.

    First, I’m glad to hear the surgery is going well. I’m always concerned I may need to do this, so it is helpful to hear what it is like. My day is going good, it is still early and sunny. But I just made some soaps with rose molds, goat milk, rose clay and scented with rose and strawberry. They won’t be ready to take out of the molds for quite a while. I’m doing it just for fun, only a little bit every couple of weeks or so.

      Oh Kate THANK YOU!! First, I CAN SEE!! Today Sunday (3 days after) everything is so bright and clear. My eye gets tired quickly, less day by day. It still feels scratchy but not as bad as day one. HOLY MOLY day one hurt to even open my eye. So, I slept most of the day and all night. I THINK (I only play a doctor on PBnWhine and Google) the reason the right eye hurt so bad is because the cataract was so bad. After the nurse put in the drops to dilate my eye she said “WOW I can see your cataracts already!” Then everyone kept coming in to see the cataract. Apparently, it was quite prominent. I do tend to do things in a most flamboyant way.
      I can’t wait for surgery on my left eye.

    comment re the new form – this might be the first of a few as I try other parts. not enamoured with the 24 h restriction but the previous form had some parts that acted that way as well.

    G2 is new to me so I’m not sure what to do if I’m just visiting and not leaving a review

    hopefully you’ll get your money’s worth from the change as it must have taken a while to transfer over. good luck.

    thanks

    OK, here’s my take on the new giveaway widget. It’s similar to ones I’ve seen and I have no real problems with it. I did notice that when I click on the ‘I’m Never Bored’ link to go comment it takes me to your home page and when I scroll down to find the post it won’t let me click on it. I just went to the home page and found it myself, though, so no big deal. — And the ‘comment on any post’ entry doesn’t have a line to leave you the post’s name or a link to the comment. — The tweet function works great. — One thing I really don’t like: ***** this type of form makes you wait a full 24 hours to enter again. If you don’t get around to it until late in the day, you have to wait that late the next day, etc., or miss a day and start over. Is there any way you can change that or is it just a part of the form?

    The thing I don’t like about the new giveaway setup is that it makes you wait 24 hours between the daily entries. Sometimes my unwinding/Internet time comes in the evening and sometimes in the morning, so I can’t count on always being able to come back 24 hours later. I always end up missing out on a lot of entries on these 24 hour giveaways because I might have to skip several days due to only being able to get online too early in the day to enter again. (I know, such a first world problem!)
