$50 Your Way #Giveaway October 2020
I am still alive and kicking. Whining all the way!
Here is my quick update for October.
September 21st I had carpal tunnel surgery.
- 1st, did you know that is now an office visit surgery!??!
- 2nd did you know you can WATCH if you want!?! *YES, I DID watch! It was equally awesome and gross. I was so fascinated I couldn’t get close enough! So weird to watch without actually feeling anything. It was VERY cool!!
Of course after all the feelings came back to my hand. ….well, OUCH!! Fingers are still numb. Slowly getting better. Y’all know how patient I am (NOT!) I want full function like yesterday.
Friday the 2nd (yes, this Friday!) I get my right hand operated on. I see relief SO CLOSE!
Right now it still hurts to knit, type (this post alone took 3 days to write!) Basically USING my hands hurts (whine, whine, whine)
So, no crafting updates. No trail cam updates (mostly because I don’t want to hike down to the cameras)
I can do an Alice update! Check out the MERMAID hair!
I also have to share (because it is HYSTERICAL!!) This is Alice’s idea of a BEAUTY mark! I still laugh when I see this picture!) Man I miss that kid! Ohhhh and did I mention permeant marker??
So, if your feeling fancy (and adventurous) I know a gal she can get you a big ole beauty mark as well. (AT NO CHARGE even!!)
That’s my monthly update, what’s yours?? Stay well little Peanuts!

Dad had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands at the same time! Wiping my Dad’s arse was not what I signed up for!
Kate Sarsfield
Can’t believe it’s already over a year since you had your carpal tunnel surgery!
Kate Sarsfield
It seems October wasn’t a bad month all things considered.
Janine Hwang
My SIL threw a fun Halloween party for the kids
Shelly Peterson
I didn’t do much today. I slept in and went to dinner with my daughter and grandkids before they went trick or treating.
Laurie Nykaza
Cooked a lot today to make a bbq rib dinner. We are watching spooky movies not.
DanV

Today was pleasant. Went out to a bar with my friend and next door neighbor to have a few drinks and nachos.
heather
I am having a great day loving all the cute costumes that I have seen so far today.
Sarah L
Happy Halloween! I put on my pumpkin sweatshirt and went to the library to curbside pick up 2 DVDs: Hocus Pocus and Knives Out. Due to rising virus numbers the governor has put some restrictions back in including no access to the inside of libraries.
Dana Rodriguez
Second month of being sick. I wish 2020 would go away lol. And it is pretty cold all the sudden here. Happy Halloween
Tamra Phelps
Well, looks like they’re doing Halloween. I just put candy in a big bowl, set it on the porch and…well, they can have at it, lol.
Julieh
It’s going great because it is Halloween, a really fun holiday!
Rosie
Day is going good, nice and sunny today, although didn’t go out. People on our local FB group all deciding how they will have their kids do (or not do) Halloween. Covid way, way up in our state and town. We don’t get trick-or-treaters, anyway.
Susan Smith
My day is going ok, just doing some laundry and some yard work. I’m loving this Fall weather. I’m so ready for this election to be over. Seeing pictures of some stores boarding up because of fears of protests makes me anxious.
Kelly Kimmell
Happy Halloween! Today is going well, staying in and staying safe this evening.
Tony Platz
My day is going pretty good except for catching cold in the changing Michigan weather .
Amy Nick
Not to bad right now. watching my husband play his new xbox game. feeling pretty relaxed
kathy pease
My day is a little stressful because my computer is moving sooooooooooooooo slow
Soraya M
Happy Halloween! Go figure, this YEAR Halloween falls on a Saturday and it’s also a Full and Blue Moon. Do the freaks come out at night?
l p
a good day as it finally stopped raining, the sun’s out and I’m getting lots done. thanks
dana
Today is an “off” day. I hate days like this – supposed I should be happy I’m just “off” and not in bad mood (shades of gray, rofl)
dana
I’m in an off mood today …. don’t you hate those days where you wish you were in a better mood (but you’re not exactly in a bad mood… just off)
Nancy
My day is going just fine. I have been running some errands. I like the cooler weather we are having.
Kate Sarsfield
One storm over and another on the way but in the meantime it’s sunny, if very windy. Out into the garden I go with my hoe to scrape some moss. I saw a mouse in the kitchen this morning (well it’s tail) so I’m peeling onions to keep it away till I find out how it got in. The last rugby matches in the 6 Nations (cancelled in Feb/March due to Covid) are all on today so got to get everything done early! Oíche Shamhna sona duit!
Soozle (Suzie B)
My city is going into a CODE Red due to the severity of COVID here.. It’s really depressing. Im a front line medical worker so Im really scared.
Rhonda Struthers
I am anticipating a good day and sending treats to the grandchildren where in our city Halloween is cancelled due to covid. Making the best of it.
Rebecca Moore
My day just started so it’s going ok right now.
Jennifer Wilson
I had ordered a number of shelves because with doing eBay as much as we have been, we need more storage for our stuff up for sale. Yesterday my husband heard the Fed Ex Ground delivery man saying “This is f’n ridiculous”. My husband said to me, “I think the shelves arrived.” I asked my husband if it really was f’n ridiculous and he said, “Yes!”. So guess what hubby is doing today? Assembling shelves! LOL
Michele Soyer
Thank goodness October is gone and November starts the holidays for us and birthdays galore!! Halloween.. remembering my childhood in the city.. my mum and her galpals would be right there taking us from house to house . ( it was safe back then) before we went home we would hit the bars.. the ladies always said the gentlemen had no candy but change!! we would really clean up on that score..memories make me smile and I realize that no matter how I tried to give my children a childhood to remember with fondness they could not beat mine…it was wonderous….
Deb Pelletier
We have snow on the ground, and we are not going out. Watching TV and doing things around the house.
lisa king
my day went great,it was warmer today so it was a nice fall day
Shelly Peterson
Today I went to dialysis and came home to relax. Then I went to dinner with my daughter

The dust settled and it all went well. Happy Halloween to all.
Ed
Had a good day- did some tasks around the house.
susan atkins
My day is going good. I am thankful that my family and I are all well. I pray for the families that are dealing with this covid-19 pandemic.
Dana
Added another new “life bird” to my list (long tailed duck)
Sarah L
The most productive thing I did today was get up early to make reservations for Blossoms of Light at the Botanic Gardens. Volunteers get 2 free tickets but had to order them today. I’ll be going on December 10th. They put over a million lights on the trees and bushes and it is a magical place to see.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh that sounds wonderful! I’ll have to check it out on their site.
heather
My day is going pretty well today lots of laundry and getting ready for Halloween tomorrow.
elizabeth miller
Today was actually a really good day. I woke up in a great mood instead of gloomy like I have felt the last week.
Rosie
It has been snowing most of the day, not sure how long all the snow will last, but stayed inside warm & cozy!
Tamra Phelps
Well, I’m cooking a pork loin roast. Smells good!!
Rhonda Struthers
It feels a little bit like groundhog day today…same thing everyday.
Kelly Kimmell
Dropped my car off this morning to try once again to fix the heat. Hoping for good news later.
Michele Soyer
Well I am so glad that October is almost over..it is the saddest month of the year for me.. today 8 years ago when he was 38 my son passed away…heart issues he had since a child….he left a wife and 4 children…he was the peak of his career and truly living life.. he had just called me to say he was coming the next week for a short visit with my grandson.. then the call came….well my truffles are almost done and the Halloween cakes are in the oven better get moving…
Tamra Phelps
Oh, Michele, that breaks my heart. It sounds like he was living a happy life and left you with great grandkids and that gives you something to smile about when you remember him.
Kate Sarsfield
God almighty, Michele, 4 children, a wife, a life just gone. It’s just too much for anyone to bear.
Kate Sarsfield
It’s calm after last night’s wind but we’re due heavy rain for the next couple of days (who am I kidding, this is Ireland, so it could be weeks!). Popping into town while I get the chance for petrol as I’ve to go to Dublin again on Monday.
Soozle
TGI-Friday is all I will say lol It’s been one of those weeks!
Laurie Nykaza
Today was fun planting seed in our garden that we had collected.
Shelly Peterson
Today wad a fun day. We had a Halloween party for my grandkids since one of my grandsons will be with his dad this weekend
Jennifer Wilson
Cold and rainy here, but my husband still picked grass from the yard for the guinea pigs. I think they have him wrapped around their paws 🙂
Anne Higgins
I had a great day – exercised and worked in the yard in the morning, showered, gave blood in the afternoon.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve been getting scam type texts for months at weird hours, like midnight or 6 a.m. Soooo tired of them. Thinking of changing my number, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
Bummer! Just change your number and stop keeping your phone by your bed!
Tamra Phelps
I have to keep the phone by me! If I fall or anything happens, that phone is my lifeline, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
same here!
Jessica Gipson
Today was a great day, I’m home with family and feel bless. Everyday I wake is a blessed day.
dana
Saw a lovely black belly plover today! Not a bird you expect in my neck of the woods
heather
My day is going pretty good today just trying to stay busy and avoid the news as the election has everyone on edge right now.
Polly Hall
I had skin cancer removed today, now I have a 3 inch incision on my chest, not the best day.
Kate Sarsfield
Keep well, Polly!
Sarah L
Good swim with friends. It’s so nice to see people in person even if we can’t hug like we always used to do.
ae minx
How’s my day going? Well I woke up too early and I have to go to work today.. so mostly just bleh.. Need to blow off some steam and have some fun one of these days
Rosie
I typically get up very early, but today around 8 am – so this day seems very short! Rain and cold so did some cooking and food prep, still cleaning up! Seems like Friday, so I feel good like I have an extra day that Friday isn’t until tomorrow! Our state Covid is way up, so I’m staying very careful about everything.
Nancy
We had a nice quiet day at home. There was a tropical storm warning with tons of rain and wind so it was good to be indoors. I made a nice big pot of soup.
Tara L
Well today is Thursday and it has been rainy all day now. Stinks. I hate rain it makes me groggy and tired LOL
l p
it’s a good day – sun’s out, no wind, and there are opportunities to do something positive for friends. thanks
Tammy Pereira
Feeling anxious today as I just got off the phone to schedule my husband’s upcoming MRI appointment.
Kate Sarsfield
I managed to save most of the roses before the wind picked up and the house smells delish! That reminds me, my wellies are in the garage. Note to self: get them into the house & de-spidered before the weekend.
Kelly Kimmell
Having issues with the auto repair shop, trying to get the heat fixed in my car, no luck so far.
Rhonda Struthers
today is good but a low key day. I am not planning much today
Michele Soyer
Finally.. garage done, storeroom done, steps and banisters done ( back only) downstairs apartment clean .. today changing the drapes/curtains there and can check it off my to-do list….too rainy to garden so hydroponics it is….lettuce, bok choy and basil to start….also have to trellis my passion fruit plants…
Jennifer Wilson
My cousin dropped off some blueberries and celery leaves for the guinea pigs.
Shelly Peterson
I went to dialysis today and then came home to relax
Renee T
I enjoyed the brisk, fall air. Thanks for asking.
Ed
Had a good day today. Got a lot done around the house.
Shannon
My day is going well, doing some laundry and crafts.
heather
My day is going pretty well today just doing some cleaning around the house. Boy, this week is sure flying by fast.
Sarah L
Quiet day after yesterday. Want to find my pumpkin sweat shirt to wear to the pool tomorrow. It’s the most Halloween thing to do. My favorite banana costume is too hard to get on and off to wear it to the pool.
Rosie
A rainy day today, and Zeta tomorrow. Battening down the hatches!
Tamra Phelps
It’s one of those dreary, gray days out there. You wouldn’t even know a sun exists. Well, Halloween is happening here this year, lol, so I guess I’ll just set up a big bowl of candy on the porch and let the kids have at it. The way numbers are going up, I feel like I can’t risk actual contact, you know? But I don’t want to disappoint kids. (My sister-in-law said most people will probably leave it on the porch, but she correctly pointed out that it might be more dangerous for kids since all those hands will be reaching in the bowls…but no one wants to risk contacting all those kids. Not sure I’d let my kids go if I had them.)
Kelly Kimmell
Been able to get a lot of things done today, laundry, cleaning floors, etc. It has gotten colder out today also.
Nancy
My day is going fine so far. I like the cooler weather we are having. We are having spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner.
Dana
After almost 8 weeks of healing of a broken ankle I now find myself having a hard time to motivate myself to go do anything. I can walk for little bouts …. and I need to go do THINGS!!
Kate Sarsfield
The sun’s shining so I’m going to wash the outside windows once I get going (that may take some time!).
Rhonda Struthers
It was a little frustrating earlier when my server went down. No patience for tech problems
Michele Soyer
Well got thru yesterday and today is a bright sunny new day….still didn’t finish the garage .. day 3 .. but I will today not much left to tidy…put out some of my husbands specialty tools that I will never need to give away to a wonderful neighbour who will use and appreciate them…. lots of garden and hydroponic work so off I go….
Shelly Peterson
Today I did a little cleaning and then my grandkids were over for a bit.
Renee T
Thanks for asking. My day went well. A little rain fell, but that’s ok.
Ed
Had a good day with my girls today.
Jennifer Wilson
My uncle has tested positive. So far he’s asymptomatic. Hopefully he stays that way. He has a building that he used to use as an office before he retired from that, so he’s staying there. He thinks he got it arresting some college kids a couple weeks ago.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh, Jennifer, it must be so worrying for you all. Hopefully he’ll be ok.
Dana
Glad the last 2 days are over – all the cats have seen the vet!
Sarah L
I’m in a funk today. Went to the pool, took 2 steps in and COLD! Turns out they had a problem with their heating and they did try to call me but I didn’t get the call. Took a hot shower there and went to pick up my groceries. Went to my regular store and they had no record of my order. Realized that I hadn’t changed the grocery store from the last time. Went to the other store but they didn’t have most of what I had ordered. So I went back to the other store AND WENT INSIDE for the first time since last March. Got what I needed except for one thing they were out of. Came home and tried to call the waste management office to get a smaller trash can. Their office is on the East coast and they were closed for the day. Have to try tomorrow.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Kate Sarsfield
Lord, Sarah! One thing after the other, still you got through it and out the other side in one piece!
jason jennings
im doing ok
THOMAS BATANGLO
Thinking about election day. I’m a nervous wreck.
Rosie
Pretty nice out today. They have a dumpster for people to get rid of things, so I was glad to be able to get a few things gone that I was wondering how to do it. Still getting ready for Zeta.
Kate Sarsfield
Up waaaay to early for my liking (5am) to take sister to Dublin for an endoscope (ugh!). Had to wait for 4 hours in the car (Covid precautions) so drove to the seaside nearby & just watched the tide come in.
Kate Sarsfield
Damn right! Never know when the next good day will come along 😉
Tamra Phelps
Feeling pretty good today, which is a rare occurrence, lol. I guess I should enjoy it.
l p
it’s a good day here. lots of warm breezes and fun chores to do. thanks
Tammy Pereira
Today I’m feeling hopeful and determined. Blessings to you and yours!
Kelly Kimmell
Feeling super tired today, I think it is the dreary skies and rain that’s on the way. Need some sunshine.
Rhonda Struthers
I am not looking forward to these long cold days without a winter vacation to look forward to.
Michele Soyer
Well today would have been my 50 year wedding anniversary…always thought we would have made that milestone easily…you can never predict somethings…..so I can either sit around and probably feel sorry for myself or get moving and put on “our favourite” songs and clean the storeroom out and finish scrubbing the back and front steps with chlorine…We have 3 large farm machines that I have to figure out what to do with…they are of no use to me anymore and probably should try and sell them..haven’t been started since my husband became ill so first things first as Mr Jagger would say.. Start It Up!!!
Tamra Phelps
Have a good day, Michele. Make it a happy celebration of everything you had with your husband.
Kate Sarsfield
I thought of you while I was waiting for my sister today, just staring out at the Irish Sea & thinking (probably too much …).
Soozle
Im in a funk; I need some picking up badly! My days feel blah
Shelly Peterson
Went to dialysis today. It was hard waking up this morning.
Ed
Spent the day taking care of my eldest daughter who was not well today.
Tamra Phelps
Well, the 14 day quarantine for my brother’s family is over, finally. My sister-in-law is testing negative and back at work but feeling tired, no one else ever tested positive. So, it was a good result.
Michele Soyer
Happy to hear it…
Kate Sarsfield
Phew! Thank goodness xx
Molli Taylor
i had a great day! spent a lot of time with my kids
Sarah L
Currently 18 degrees, but the sun is shining. We only got about 4 inches of snow here, but the wildfire areas got a foot or so. I ordered groceries for pick up tomorrow after swimming. Still too much virus going around for me to go to the store.
Rosie
Made a really good chili today in the slow cooker, and am finishing up now. Nice day for it, as it is dark, cold and drizzly!
THOMAS BATANGLO
Good job interview today. Good chance of getting the job.
Rosie
good luck! Was it a zoom interview? Did you ever have an on-demand video (ie Hirevue – they record you answering questions, one-way, nobody is there).
Dana
Taking 3 cats to the vet in a few hours; not looking forward to this
Kelly Kimmell
Our morning has started out busy but going pretty well so far.
Rhonda Struthers
My day will be low key today as It is quite cold outside.
Kate Sarsfield
It’s the last Monday in October, so a public holiday in Ireland, the schools are off for half-term break. Usually the children would be going around collecting wood for the village bonfire. Not under the tough restrictions we’re living under though. No mixing of households, so no community events.
Michele Soyer
Looking at my weekly to-do list…must have been way too motivated when I made it yesterday…I will pick one from column A and one from Column B.. after 2 cups of coffee….
Jennifer Wilson
I’ve been trying my hand at Instagram giveaways. Keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve never done much entering on IG before.
Shelly Peterson
Today I did some cleaning and relaxed
Renee T
My day was nice. Thanks for asking. We went for a walk in the brisk, fall air.
Ed
Fun day with the family today.
Joanna P
Today was a chilly, rainy fall day, which made it a good day to curl up at home after church. I video chatted with some friends, and then prayed and journaled. 🙂
Shannon
I had a nice relaxing day at home. Thanks for asking.
Susan Smith
My day is going good. My team the KC Chiefs won! Got a bit of Winter with an inch of snow which I don’t like but on the good side the temperature is going to start warming up tomorrow.
heather
My day is going great today I got 10 inches cut off my hair today and I feel soooooo good!
Rosie
It was a quiet Sunday, and I’m enjoying my peace while it lasts, nobody bought the unit under me yet. Hurricane Zelda is coming through Thursday, so I need to get anything done before that, and be ready in case we lose power, etc. The late October storms can be the worst, a couple years ago, people lost power for two weeks!
Christina Sparks
Woke up to a sound of a car crash outside,
Sarah L
Current temp: 14 degrees with wind chill of -1. Got a little snow but hoping for more. Glad I didn’t go swimming today.
dana
Catching up on my house chores …
THOMAS BATANGLO
Big job interview tomorrow! Need this job bad.
Molli Taylor
hi there! i am feeling pretty good and productive today!
wendy hutton
its cold here, but not snowing supposed to be a warmer week
Soozle
Its cold here and I am feeling glum because of it!
Rhonda Struthers
My husband brought me coffee in bed so I would say that is a pretty good way to start the day!
Kate Sarsfield
Our clocks went back last night so no pretending that winter is far away anymore. I bought a dehumidifier for the (now used to store the parents bed) front room that has damp patches on the chimney breast and it’s working. It’s also made the room a bit warmer which helps. That’s the problem with Irish winters, they’re damp, that cold damp that gets into your bones. I’ve started wearing a mask in the evenings when I’m playing about on the internet – it keeps my nose warm!
Michele Soyer
Pouring rain and dark dark skies….Ran Delilah in the rain, dried her off and now I am inside until later on….government opened up casinos, gyms and cinemas and the public service offices… bars and eating places still no….also thinking about re-opening the borders.. oh well it was inevitable…just have to be very careful going out and about…
Kelly Kimmell
Up early again for no particular reason. But, I’m doing well.
Jennifer Wilson
I ordered some yarn about three weeks ago and the first package FINALLY arrived. At least it was what I needed to make a hat for a friend for Christmas. So I got started on that.
Shelly Peterson
Today I did a lot of running around. I am tired now.
Ed
Ran a bunch of errands today.
Sarah L
Got $50 Amazon GC today that I won. Then went to Circle K and got 2 free drinks that I won.
Starting to rain. Winter storm warning for all day tomorrow. Smother those wildfires!
Michele Soyer
Congrats. good for you…I always like to hear that people win…
Michele Soyer
October is a very hard month for me..all the losses and the memories…anyway I took yesterday as a sad day and today I got back into a groove.. baked all morning.. bread, cookies and a birthday cake order….ran Delilah then I looked at the clock and it was half past 3… lunch now relaxing for the balance with my newspapers…
Shannon
Picked up the groceries and worked on presents.
Renee T
Thanks for asking. My day was nice. I finished the shopping and laundry.
Rosie
Day is going good. Was overcast and cool, and it is supposed to get really windy that a cold front is coming. Better start getting out the fall clothes, I’m staying defiant in shorts, around the house, not out!
Jeanette Jackson
I’ve had a good day. Sent hubby for groceries while I drank coffee and played on my computer.
Chris L
The colder weather is making my arthritis act up 🙁
THOMAS BATANGLO
Weather bad. Landlord even worse.
Rhonda Struthers
A quiet morning catching up on emails and drinking coffee.
Kelly Kimmell
Day is starting out better than yesterday….migraine is all gone!
Kate Sarsfield
I’m cold and right now just want to make a mug of tea and gently ease myself into the day. To do that I have to go buy some milk … can’t win.
Jennifer Wilson
Spent part of today coaching a friend of mine who is a nun about setting up an Etsy shop. She’s planning on donating the money she makes to an animal rescue and her order. :). She is amazing all the stuff she does.
Shelly Peterson
Man we got a lot of snow today. I wasn’t ready for it.
Dana
Finally did a little “about town” with my new ankle brace; been a slow recovery from the broken ankle
Ed
Everyone at home today. Fun times with my extended family.
Sarah L
Connie got snow and cold today. Colorado is hoping for LOTS of snow and cold to help put out all our dangerous wild fires. The cold is coming Saturday night with snow on Sunday and Monday.
I even cancelled my swim for Sunday with a high of 23 and snow. Made another one for Tuesday when the weather clears up.
Rosie
It has bee a dark and rainy day today, but I do love those, as I don’t feel guilty about being home and cooking and doing anything cozy!
Tammy Pereira
Today is Friday and the weather finally cooled down here. I couldn’t be more excited!
Tamra Phelps
I’m having an iffy stomach day, lol. Those pop up now and then because of what sepsis did to my gut, but it’s actually much better. It used to be every day, very painful. Now it’s occasionally and kind of blah not painful.
THOMAS BATANGLO
Nothing new to comment on. Job interview on Monday.
Kelly Kimmell
Been a tough day, have to get some expensive car repairs done.
Rhonda Struthers
good. I am having a coffee and watching Kelly and Ryan.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve finished Mum & Dad’s room, the ensuite, the main bathroom and today (hip & knee allowing) I’m starting on the hallway. There are 8 panelled doors, that’s 16 front & back and 3 coats each. Have I mentioned how much I hate painting doors?
Tamra Phelps
You get more done in pain than I do on my best day!!! ?
Michele Soyer
Wow that is a lot Kate.. you need a good rest now…
Soozle
Its Friday! That makes it a good day already 🙂
Shelly Peterson
Today I went to lunch with my daughter and then to an eye appointment
Jennifer Wilson
We tried the new Cheetos macaroni and cheese tonight at dinner. It was amazingly good!
Ed
Had a good day today. Got things together for my wife’s birthday.
THOMAS BATANGLO
Job interview Monday. Hopefully things are looking up.
Rosie
It was a nice day out today. The maintenance man was repairing all the doors and locks that got broken in the breakin this weekend. I gave him a blind stitch machine I had gotten for $800 40 years ago, to sell, or for scrap or whatever, as it was too heavy for me to move it, and I’m not going to try to sell anything during covid.
Sarah L
Good swim today. My friend brought me a swim noodle since the pool won’t let their noodles be used. And it’s purple, my favorite color.
Wildfires keep expanding and evacuations for Estes Park. Snow expected on Sunday with much colder temps.
Dana
Itching to do something – I just don’t know what that something is
Kate Sarsfield
I just can’t seem to concentrate on reading any more so I’ve started listening to plays on the radio while I decorate/do housework. Anything to lift the spirits.
Rhonda Struthers
It is good. A little bit like groundhog day. Same over and over.
Michele Soyer
Got 2 birthday cake orders so that is really nice in these times….rainy and dark this morning so I think I will have to sacrifice work for playing my Delilah and doing laundry…
Kate Sarsfield
Having to play with your puppy? What a sacrifice 😉
Soozle
Im feeling really down the past few days; very overwhelmed with work and life!
Laurie Nykaza
some color books to my aunt in a nursing home to color. We replanted some cactus today as well.
Shelly Peterson
Today I went to dialysis and went home to rest
Shannon
Today I worked on more Christmas presents and watched Youtube videos.
Renee T
A HUGE thunderstorm rolled thru the area overnight. Big “booms” woke me. Other than that, my day was nice.
Ed
Had a good appointment with my doctor today.
Jennifer Wilson
I’m dealing with an eBay buyer claiming that something I bought new and never used isn’t as described. First he said wrong color (but I never stated a color). Then he said it wasn’t insulated. (I never stated it was insulated). Then he said it was used, which is difficult for me to prove I never used it after I bought it new. I could be out as much as $95 over this. 🙁 I hope it gets ruled in my favor. I have over 8,000 feedback on eBay and do everything I can to make my customers happy. But this was NOT used.
Kate Sarsfield
Stick to your guns, Jennifer. I’m a long-term buyer and know how difficult it can be from ‘our’ perspective, but this seems pretty clear cut. Try to sort it out yourself but arbitration is always available.
Dana
An uneventful, slow day – just the way I like it
Sarah L
Another quiet day at home. I’m feeling bummed today. No special reason.
l p
it’s a good day, started with cleaning cupboards and then Facetime with family. thanks
Shannon
Watching Youtube videos getting ready for Christmas. So excited.
emmy
I feel terrible because I’m sick but there are so many other things I need to be doing. It’s frustrating.
Rhonda Struthers
Doing well. Getting ready to go and do a grocery shop.
Kate Sarsfield
Today’s ‘second other’ comment: I can’t get over the sudden surge in your participants, Connie. 499 today!
Where did they all come from?
Kate Sarsfield
I popped into town early for my flu jab & my regular blood tests and surprise, surprise, there’s no panic buying this time round – phew! No queues, no empty shelves, we’re getting quite good at this!
Soozle

Tamra Phelps
And suddenly, we’re back up in the high 70’s, and I’m turning off the heat and back to the a/c. October is crazy.
Rhonda Struthers
I am having a low key day. Just hanging and being covid safe.
Soozle
I am feeling kinda glum as it starts getting colder here; I feel like it’ll be a painfully long winter this year
Kate Sarsfield
Rain and yet more rain but it’s Ireland so we’re used to it. The country is going into the highest level of lockdown for 6 weeks starting midnight Wednesday. Here we go again!

Went to an appointment with my eye doctor for the field of vision test. Boring test. Not too much smoke here today but the fires continue north of here.
Jennifer Wilson
Over 15 new Covid cases in our rural area. I’m afraid it’s going to get really bad here. I’m high risk and have been staying in since March, did go out the other day to get my flu shot.
rita leonard
It is a rainy day so our day is quiet and we are working on our computers a lot
THOMAS BATANGLO
Lousy rotten day as usual. Not much else to say about that.
Tamra Phelps
It’s gray and rainy here. What a blah day. I actually turned the heat on yesterday for the first time this year. Just to ‘knock the chill off’ as my Mom used to say.
Rhonda Struthers
It is a bit of a blah day. I am just trying to decide what to do today
Soozle
It’s my day off from work today; so its a good day!
Kate Sarsfield
We’re in for a week of heavy rain, wind & cold plus the whole country is on edge as to whether we’re going in to total lockdown again. Not a whole lot to look forward to but on the plus side my blue Himalayan poppy have sprouted!
Kate Sarsfield
SEEDS!!!! My blue Himalayan poppy SEEDS!
Michele Soyer
We are living in strange times…yesterday one village here with a high temp of 35.5 degrees C had an afternoon thunderstorm with hail.. yes ice balls and a funnel cloud…it was close to the airport .. cloud to ground lightening.. this was the second funnel cloud in last few weeks….
Kate Sarsfield
Wow! That must have been quite a sight!
Shelly Peterson
My son and his sisters were supposed to go sky diving for his birthday today but they canceled due to the weather so we had dinner and game night.

Good swim today. It’s really my only fun thing that I do anymore.
Smoke was not bad here in Denver this afternoon, but northern Colorado is having terrible smoke from all the fires. More evacuations again today for two of the fires trying to reach eastern plains.
Jennifer Wilson
Postage rates increased today so we took a couple days off of listing on eBay so that we hopefully wouldn’t have any sales where they paid a lower postage rate. Guess it’s time to start listing again. The break was fun while it lasted. I read a whole book yesterday.
Soozle
Its technically my “Friday” so this day is great !
lori byrd
I got a lot done before I have to go back to work tomorrow so I’m proud of myself.
dana
Another uneventful, overcast day. Hoping I’ll be “up” to doing more tomorrow
Saundra McKenzie
My day is great so far! Considering I broke my wrist last week and surgery to fix it, I am doing real good one handed.
Kate Sarsfield
Good for you! I found the hardest part was trying to put a bra on!
Paula
My day is going pretty much as it always goes. Not much changes.
tammy ta

My day is lazy so far. Just having coffee and checking emails
Kate Sarsfield
We’re expecting the country to go into total lockdown again this week in a bid to a) keep the numbers down and b) free up hospital and especially intensive care beds. Oh well, here we go again …
Michele Soyer
Plan on having a total “me” day today….Mass on utube then music, reading and playing with the furbabies…Oh and making a weekly to-do list….
Laurie Nykaza
We had to do laundry today and clean the bathrooms watched some movies too.

This comment was supposed to post yesterday but I guess I didn’t click the button
Shannon
Today I made some gnomes for my family.
Ed
Had a good day with the family hanging around the house.
Sarah L
Another forest fire today. I have friends who are having to evacuate. Smoke is high and ugly. Staying inside.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh Lord, stay safe, Sarah!
Rosie
Beautiful day today, on the cool side but invigorating. Our basement storage units got broken into, 26 broken into, and 13 had the locks pried off. They somehow get into the building without breaking the outer doors, but break the fire door to the basement. My door is all in splinters. We’ve been broken into about 5 times now, so I don’t keep anything like my power tools down there any more. One time they came 3 nights in a row. The police have told us not to go downstairs at night, as they probably hide behind the stairwells lying await to break into the bins. My neighbor had 4 cases of good champagne stolen, he should have known better! I don’t know what else they got…
Kate Sarsfield
I was getting worried about you! That’s really scary though. Is there CCTV? And if they can get through the outer doors, they must have access. And 4 cases of champers? Hope he had them insured but what a loss!
Dana
Today is overcast, cold and has definitely dampered my mood
Le Pete
so glad I got up and out this morning. it’s cold with the wind and now I’m home, I can stay home as the wind gets even stronger. thanks
Rhonda Struthers
I am doing good. Enjoying the lovely fall day.
wendy hutton
my day is going great, a nice quiet Saturday at home
DeeAnn S
Day’s going well. Think I’ll make a big pot of potato soup! 🙂
Jennifer Wilson
We had to take the last of the veggies out of the small garden this week. Now to figure out what to do with so many green tomatoes. . .
Soozle
My day is starting with a headache! ugh! It’ll be a long work day!
Michele Soyer
Well when I got motivated yesterday I went nutz and by evening I was pooped! LOL.. anyway today I plan on baking then getting all my holiday recipes out and hopefully will start getting some Christmas cake/cooky orders….
Laurie Nykaza
Catching up with friends on the phone today and now watching movies.
Kate Sarsfield
I couldn’t sleep because of the pain in my hip so got up, had a shower & am heading into town to get more masking tape. What a high-flying life I lead!
Michele Soyer
Oh Kate there must be something to help you with the pain… even if it only takes the edge off… hope today is better
Tamra Phelps
Kate, have you tried a TENS Unit? I got one recently on Amazon. It helps with my pain a little. The one I got was less than $30, so affordable.
Kate Sarsfield
TENS, infra red, ibuprofen, codeine, tiger balm … tried them all!
Shannon
I went to Dollar Tree and I got some crafty stuff for the holidays.
Soozle
Oh it was a day at work! Sadly, I still have 2 left to go, as Im on at the hospital this weekend!
Dana
Got to see my sister and BIL for a short period today; that was nice
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Not much to report.
Rhonda Struthers
My day is good. Pretty much the same as usual.
l p
it’s a good day. chilly outside but a good day for being indoors and getting a lot of chores done. thanks
Tamra Phelps
Home Health’s physical therapists are going to start coming to help me with this right knee. I had some sort of pinched nerve that lingered for a good two weeks behind that knee and really limited my walking. When you’re not 100% already, being off your feet for any time is not good, you start to lose endurance. So, they’ll come in and help me build it back up.
Kate Sarsfield
Brilliant news! Don’t let them in if they’re not in full PPE though!
Tamra Phelps
Oh, they are. Especially since they know my sister-in-law tested positive. She’s a nurse, so they know her.
DeeAnn S
Today is a cold, damp, dreary day. A good day to stay snuggled up with a good book and cup of cocoa.
Kate Sarsfield
Days like these I wish I liked coffee, Michele! Just don’t seem to be able to get myself in gear!
Michele Soyer
I have no motivation to get going this morning… maybe I need a second cup of coffee…
Shelly Peterson
Today was a busy day. I did dome shopping and some cleaning and then went to a baby shower.
Renee T
It was a lovely day. Regular but lovely.
Shannon
Felt a little blah today and did not get a lot done.
Devon Pickford
It’s going great! I’m trying out a new online mode in COD
Ed
Had a great day working around the yard.
Sarah L
Good swim today. Then dropped off my ballot at the ballot box (I can now ignore all ads and requests for money -which I really already was doing). Then a stop at the grocery store to pick up my order – still haven’t set foot in the grocery store since March 13th.
Please remember to VOTE! (unpaid, non-political ad)
Tammy Pereira
Feeling a little blah today but happy to see your giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!
Dana
One step forward, two steps back – literally – with this broken ankle healing. Does help that I can look back at photos from days/weeks ago and at least SEE progress (even if I don’t feel it)
Kate Sarsfield
You can’t hurry nature unfortunately. Nice and slowly (v. frustrating I know) is best!
Linda K
It is a very quiet day. We are finally getting rain after a very long drought.
Tara L
My day is going great. It’s actually pretty nice out today the weather is lovely and me and my sister just got back from having lunch at HoneyGrow. I hope your day is filled with peace & joy(:
wendy hutton
my day is going great so far, stuck at home as it snowed and it very icy out
Rhonda Struthers
it has been a bit of a lazy day. Just checking emails and watching tv
Jennifer Wilson
We’re getting our flu shots today. Getting out of the house is excitement these days.
Kim Henrichs
I have a terrible splitting headache…but the leaves are gorgeous.
Kate Sarsfield
We’re gearing up for even tighter restrictions in Ireland. Five people died yesterday & infection rates are on the up all over the country. I know five doesn’t sound like a lot but there’s only 4 million of us in the whole country. The North’s rates are exploding as are the border counties in the Republic. It’s so depressing.
Michele Soyer
Reading about the surge in the UK and Irish papers.. this is awful… here this morning more nurses from the General hospital are positive… please take care…
Kate Sarsfield
You too Michele xxx
elizabeth miller
So far, my day has not started the best. My allergies are going nuts and dealing with kids zoom classes is not for me today.
Soozle
Im on day 4 of 7 for work; it’s getting there! Im ready for the week to be done!
Laurie Nykaza
Carving pumpkins today our friend left 3 at our door for my daughter to carve since we cant go out.

Shelly Peterson
I’m super tired today. I’m hoping to go to her early.
Renee T
Today was a quiet day and I enjoyed it. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home enjoying the last of summer. Got up to 82 degrees today, but fall is coming tomorrow with a high of 55. Usual high for today is 66 degrees.
Tamra Phelps
Well, my sister-in-law tested positive (she’s a nurse at my doctor’s office.) So far, my brother has been tested twice, both negative. Still, everybody is quarantining now, just in case, including me since I recently saw him and the kids. (When he’s here, we try to keep 6 feet distance just because I have underlying health issues and he’s in contact with a lot of people in his work.)
Kate Sarsfield
Oh no! Please look after yourself, & wish her, Rob & the children well xxx
DeeAnn S
Got my car inspected this morning and it passed with flying colors! So it’s a good day!! YIPEE!

All I seem to be doing is sleeping lately but obviously needed. Booked an appointment for my annual ‘flu shot.
Shelly Peterson
Today I did some cleaning and now watching my grandkids again.
Dana
Well tomorrow is the condo annual meeting/election; with any luck we’re finally turning the corner … made a lot of strides this last year
Ed
Spent my morning helping out my in-laws with some yard work.
Sarah L
Went downtown to the hospital for my infusion. My blood pressure was high at the start – no surprise since I get anxious to go down there. Infusion went fine and I stopped at Smashburger for sweet potato fries and a salted caramel shake.
Tamra Phelps
Well, My doctor’s appointment today was changed to a tele-appointment because my doctor is COVID positive. Good thing I had to change last week’s appt. to today. I’m sure he had it last week but didn’t know it yet. A relative of mine who works for him has also tested positive. I haven’t been around her recently but I’ve been around family who have been near her, so bottom line: we’re all isolating for two weeks.
Kate Sarsfield
Keep well, Tamra! Sorted those books out yet?
Tamra Phelps
Nope, lol. I did track down some of my cookbooks… but still haven’t found them all.
Rhonda Struthers
It is a rainy day here. Coffee and book, all is good.
DeeAnn S
It’s good. I’m catching up on some MST3K movies. 🙂
Kate Sarsfield
I spent most of yesterday sleeping after the lousy night on Sunday. Don’t seem to have missed much!

Shelly Peterson
Today I didn’t do much of anything
Renee T
Enjoyed a day around family. Bonus, someone else cooked!
Ed
Relaxing day with the family today.

Today was a fabulous day filled with turkey and family. I forgot how much work a Thanksgiving dinner is, but it was great seeing my family, although is was only half of them as we keep our bubble pretty small.
David Hollingsworth
My day is terrible, as usual. It was bored, miserable, and my mother continues to give me grief.
daa
First day “walking” in my new ankle brace. I’ve forgotten how to walk naturally … and it’s a bit sore this evening (didn’t really walk all that much either)
Heather Howard
Having Thanksgiving dinner soon, the turkey smells amazing!! Can’t wait!
DeeAnn S
A bit rainy but another good Sunday for watching football.
Soozle
It’s a great day – Canadian Thanksgiving! Very different this year – but still lots to be thankful for!
Kate Sarsfield
It’s beautiful, if a little cold, so some manic laundry going on before a week of rain. Went to the grave yesterday, that was tough.
Michele Soyer
Sunday, yes Sunday.. a day for myself….well the furbabies say a day dedicated to playtime…but there are some chores to attend to first.. bake a few loaves of bread, set the roast in the oven and water the garden.. then book, music and the gallery….
Deb K
I have been doing laundry all day. As the weather is getting colder so I need to wash all the blankets.

My daughter and grandson came over for brunch. I did a little cleaning and then relaxed.

It’s a good day – lots of chores to do and completed. Thanks for asking.
Tamra Phelps
Geeze, a radio station I listen to a lot (they play 70’s oldies, lol) has already switched over to round the clock Christmas music. So, yeah, 2020 just got a smidge worse, lol. My right knee is doing a little better, possibly due to eating Aleve like candy, ha!

I woke up singing “Polly Wolly Doodle All The Day”. Where did that come from? What on earth had I been dreaming about?

Mya Murphy
I just made chicken noodle casserole..so so yummo!!

Got the best birthday present today from my friend: A HAIRCUT!! 7 months since my last haircut and I can see my neck and ears again. Will be fun swimming tomorrow without hair to get in my eyes.
Kate Sarsfield
7 months? I’d have gone mad with frustration! Can’t bear hair around my face!
Sarah L
My answer was lots of bobby pins keeping my hair back.
Merysa Cortez
Good afternoon! Hope all is well! 🙂 Today has been pretty smooth! I cleaned my room and looked online for Christmas presents! Can’t wait for Christmas! 😀
DeeAnn S
Good so far. Just deciding of I wanna run the vacuum today. 😉
Kate Sarsfield
The whole country is now under increased restrictions due to the increase in Covid cases. And yet the anti-masker, anti-vaxx brigade can protest in large groups, with no social distancing, face masks etc. Believe me, I am completely in favour of free speech, but when they put others at risk … it makes me so angry.
Michele Soyer
Sitting here drinking coffee and answering emails.. work outside will have to wait….
Jennifer Wilson
My husband and I went to our storage unit tonight that is filled with stuff to list on eBay. We brought 4 tubs home to work on this week.

Quiet day at home. I’ve got to stop reading the news. Just makes my blood boil. Will get my mail in ballot next week and will put it in a drop box the next day so I can just ignore the news. Colorado has had mail in only for many years with no problems.
Debbie Yoder
My day is going great! Getting alot accomplished today.Its beautiful outside,sun is shining!
Mya Murphy
I have literally been singing Christmas music all day, just to get a shock about Van Halen passing ? 2020 just never stops..
Dana
Just a day-and-a-half til my Ortho check-up (broken ankle). Hoping to advance out of the walking cast into maybe just a slip on sock type brace.
wendy hutton
my day is going good, enjoying a quiet rainy day at home

Michele Soyer
Yesterday went shopping and around to the shoppes and made quick work of it.. in the grocery at 7am then the feed and grain and a dry goods store…. home before 10 .. had time to sit before the Minister of Finance read the 2021 budget… why do they never seem to care about the disenfranchised people of the country….anyway aside from the usual more tax on imported goods, cigarettes and luxury items we are still waiting for the property tax increase… cleaned the property of debris after last nights bruhaha and this mornings torrential downpour…now to relax and enjoy lunch…

Ed
Not alot going on today. Just doing a few things around the house.
Terri Quick
I just relaxed at home with my dogs
Tamra Phelps
My knees are really causing me pain. It’s the typical arthritis stuff but irritating when you have trouble getting around anyway and need to ‘practice’ walking several times a day.
Michele Soyer
Maybe some Bengay and some Advil can help you…like you don’t already know this.. can’t take the mum out of me….
Kate Sarsfield
Any chance you could get in a pool? At least then you could do your exercise without putting weight on your joints.
Sarah L
Sigh. I hear of other people’s troubles and remember with gratitude that mine are very small.
I had a reservation to visit the botanic gardens today, but the wildfire smoke is just too bad to be out and about.

Having a bad day today honestly. Lost a good friend to cancer this morning.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh Dana, I am so sorry.
l p
halfway through the day and all is well. finally getting those timely errands taken care of. thanks
Tara L
Egh I mean my day has been going A okay I guess, just struggling to meet dues. Which is never an easy thing to do. Still waiting on the $300.00 from unemployment but I don’t think I will be getting it so I am trying to look for work. Blah.
DeeAnn S
Today I’m drying goji berries I picked from my garden. Love ’em!
Molli Taylor
meh. it’s monday but hopefully getting some good news today!
Carolyn D
My day could be better. I woke up around 7am with terrible pain in my side.
Kate Sarsfield
Last night I found out that a very close friend of my sister, who lives in Arizona, woke up with no sense of smell or taste. He had the Covid test & now we wait. He has an auto-immune disease so is particularly vulnerable. Just keeping everything crossed for now. In Senegal, Africa, they get their results in 8 hours; he has to wait ‘a couple of days’.
Michele Soyer
Crossing my fingers and toes!
Kate Sarsfield
Thanks Michele!
Shelly Peterson
Today I just spent the day relaxing.
Ed
Had a relaxing day after my covid test this morning.
THOMAS BATANGLO
Hope you make out better than Trump.
Sarah L
Good swim today. 83 degrees with lots of sun and not too much smoke.
David Hollingsworth
I had a rather boring day today. Nothing much.
Merysa Cortez
Hi! I hope your day is going well! So far, I had a bowl of Raviolis and watched some TV! It’s boring, but I rather it be boring than unsafe 🙂 Have a great day and be safe!
Mya Murphy
Why do I say gosh.. I’m glad it’s cooling off just to say brrr I’m cold? Lmao..
DeeAnn S
It’s going good. Spending the day watching football. Go team!
Tamra Phelps
Here’s a second comment: I hope your surgery went well. I know how carpal tunnel hurts. I had it years ago–fortunately didn’t need surgery. It’ll be great to be able to just use your hands, right???
Tamra Phelps
This is a chilly day. It’d be great for chili, but I’m too lazy to make it, lol. Oh, well. My right knee is feeling better. That makes it a good day.
wendy hutton
my day so far is going god, doing some laundry
THOMAS BATANGLO
Don’t yourself out. Lol.
l p
Today is a good day. Was greeted with the favorite breakfast and newspaper without even asking! Gotta love this family. Thanks for asking.
klp
It’s a great day so far. Lots of timely errands to do but at this point, they’re all doable. And, hopefully, a little time with friends.
Kate Sarsfield
And it’s pouring again & flipping cold with it 🙁 At some stage I have to put the recycling bins out by the gate & I’m not looking forward to it. Perfect day for some tomato soup & snuggles!
Asia
Its 10am on Sunday morning. Today is my nephew’s first birthday and we are going to start getting ready to decorate because we are having a small party at my house today for him.
Sandra Dufoe
It is going to be busy trying to fix my daughters Imac it has quit on her.
Cheryl B
Hope you are having a great weekend. The leaves are quickly changing here in Michigan. I enjoyed a long ride to see them.
THOMAS BATANGLO
Hopefully we’ll be able to go outside and safely enjoy it.
Michele Soyer
I also love Alice’s hair.. I want it.. all is well here in paradise if it would just give me 5 minutes w/o rain….Connie glad that you are healing…Getting my lists together for tomorrows shopping….
Jennifer Wilson
I turned on the heat last night to make sure the furnace was working and all. Then I set the thermostat to 59. Told DH we will have to bundle up this year to save money on heat. Mom and I went all one winter — through blizzards and such with the heat at 58 back in the 1990s.
Laurie Nykaza
Trimming plant today and catching up with phone calls when we cam inside.
Shannon Holmes
Yesterday was a chill day. I listened to music mostly. I also made some chili.

We bought a lot of neat treats and even some for the fur baby!
Ed
Had a good day. Went for a nice walk in a nearby Provincial park.

Thanks for asking. I spent the day avoiding construction traffic just to get to the store. I loved the weather. How are you?
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Weather sunny and 65 degrees.
Mya Murphy
I’ve been coughing, but only at night..sigh, I really hope it’s nothing..

Any day you see a juvenile yellow crested night heron – in southern Michigan – is a good day (for a birder)

Edye

Kate Sarsfield
Saturday & the rain has finally stopped but never fear, tomorrow’s due to be a complete washout. Ah me, the joys of Irish weather – not for the faint-hearted! Great to know your right hand op. went well but I still want to see a video!
Jennifer Wilson
I’ve been loom knitting away. I’m getting a lot faster at it. Going to be lots of hats for Christmas gifts this year since DH hasn’t been to work since March. 🙂
Denise M
My day is going ok. I drove over a big piece of cement and not sure if my car is okay. It really scared me and now I’m a big afraid to drive. I hate when I’m scared to drive…I don’t want to be a nervous nelly!
Shelly Peterson
Hooray its Friday! It was a nice day today.
Robyn Bellefleur
My day did not go so well. I am in a battle with my boss over under paying me, so fun, fun, fun!

I did not sleep last night–Who knows why but I kind of dragged all thru the day. Hoping for a good night.

Well, I’m writing on a Friday, which makes for a great day for a teacher! Additionally, my daughters and I had great conversations, which was refreshing after a very busy week. So I would rate this day fairly high 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
Stephanie LaPlante
My day is going quite well actually… Compared to yesterday. I thought I was coming down with the flu but I am feeling a lot better. Turns out I was just overtired.
Sarah L
Had to get up 3 hours earlier than usual to take my car in for an oil change and inspection. My new (to me) car has to get the expensive kind of oil but only once a year or 5,000 miles. Ha! I think I’ve put on 400 miles this year.
Ann Fantom
My day is going great and I’m ready for the weekend!
THOMAS BATANGLO
Stay safe whatever you do. Covid on the rise.
KIM DAVIS
My day is going fast! Lots to do not enough hours to do it in. But all is well.

Kate Sarsfield
Today’s 2nd. comment: Good luck with the surgery today! Any chance you could video it to show us? I find the human body absolutely fascinating – only good thing about the recent colonoscopy!
Kate Sarsfield
It’s well and truly Autumn with a really cold wind. I’m back in my fingerless gloves full-time to try to keep them warm (Raynaud’s syndrome). Have to pop into town later so that means getting showered & I’m too cold to get undressed! Brrr!
Daniel Lewis

I went to lunch with my son and did some cleaning
Jennifer Wilson
I can’t believe it’s 4th Quarter already! I’ve been at home since Q1! And Q4 is my busiest time of year because that’s when all the holiday sweeps are out, and I’ve been selling on eBay full time since 1998, so busy, busy, busy.
THOMAS BATANGLO
I’m glad someone is making money in this land of plenty.
Thomas Gibson
My day is going well. The weather has cooled off a bit as I live in Florida.
Tammy Evans
My day was ok, I helped my mom get organized which is a good thing but also frustrating. We take one step forward and two back.
Tom
Wish my mom was still around.
Tamra Phelps
I want Alice’s hair! When I was 13 or so, in the late 70’s, I’d use that spray on blue glittery stuff and I loved it. But it was nothing compared to what they can do with color now.
Rosanne Robinson
My day has had it’s ups and downs, right now it’s pouring rain here and my arthritis is kicking in, ugh!
Sarah L
Glad about getting your hands both done. I’ve been around here long enough to watch Alice grow up from a baby to a young girl.
Good swim today with my friend. She brought her husband who had shoulder surgery.
Ken Ohl
Little Cooler here today that god in Florida so hot and humid 90 percent of the time

My day is going okay I guess. Sure wish it would rain I am sick of the heat and sick of the wildfires in our area I am praying for rain lots and lots of rain.
dana
Still nursing a broken ankle that keeps me unable to drive – but was fortunate enough that a fellow birder took pity on me and we went and scouted a Black Vulture. Perfect start to October/Halloween

Day is going good. Walked to town to do a few chores. Glad the hand surgery has gone well! I hope you can enjoy being a lady of leisure for a little bit! I might be tempted to milk it to be waited on hand and foot! But no, just fun for a thought! Alice is so funny, she got that “funny” gene from you!
Kate Sarsfield
Happy October everyone! So glad the carpal tunnel surgery went well & good luck tomorrow. BTW, Alice’s hair is amazing!!!
