Happy May Little Peanuts! I am so ready for some sunshine. Idaho can’t decide if it wants to snow, rain, or just be gloomy. So much so that it will do it all at the SAME TIME!! I am ready for some hiking and kayaking.
April wasn’t exactly a great month for The Husband! First a nasty MS attack that put him back in a wheelchair. Add insult to injury The Husband was diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration which requires a SHOT IN THE EYE!! WITH a NEEDLE!! Of course, I filmed the whole thing and sent it to our kids. They both agreed that I should feel free to NEVER share that again. LIKE EVER. In very strong language. Geesh!! Try and be a great Mom and keep the kids updated with our lives and this is the thanks I GET!?!?! Kate, when you asked for a proof that George was alive and kicking on Instagram I ALMOST, almost posted that video. But, I figured that would be a tad traumatic for some followers.
On a lighter note we have a lot of traffic jams up on the mountain. And little critters that are digging holes, LIKE to the CENTER of the EARTH deep holes around the house. Should we start a pool to see how long before the house goes WHOOOMP and disappears to China?

Got out and about a bit today. Then the rains came and now I’m home.
My day was good. Nothing to write home about, though.
Had my first round of PT on my shoulder, so I’m a bit sore.
It’s a lovely day here. I hope I can get outside the office for some fun times soon.
Hard to believe tomorrow will be June. Time keeps passing and I keep wasting it, lol.
the day is going well. it’s sunny and warm so more gardening is on the agenda once the laundry is done. thanks
My day is going fine so far. I just had my second booster shot. It is supposed to get up to 89 degrees today.
slept in this morning stayed up late watching some old john wayne movies. It was fun seeing all the different actors that you remember
I couldn’t sleep last night. I only got about 3 hours of sleep.
Today is my eldest granddaughters birthday 28 years old… wow..I remember the morning she was born…
Ugh! Just four night hours sleep last night – too much whizzing round my brain.
Still feeling off center. Can’t stay on the computer for too long at a time.
Just take your time, Sarah. Can’t rush things like that unfortunately x
It’s going ok but wasn’t as exciting as I hoped.
Well, I spent some time looking for a wrench today online–realized how little I know about tools, lol. I mean, I know what a wrench is, but as to which one to use for what job…hmmm.
Did more gardening work, still more to do.
Happy Memorial Day! Hope you are enjoying it!
Still no news from the vendor’s lawyer – so bloody frustrated I went back to bed and slept 4 hours. Absolute waste of a day.
running up against a problem here? one never knows what the Internet will do.
Woke up with a soar throat. I will be heading to dialysis soon.
It’s Monday and I have the day off of work, rounding out a long weekend, so my day is going great!
My day is going fine so far. I will have a cheeseburger for lunch. I’ll also have a spinach salad.
KNEE still bothering me hopefully later today it will feel like going to a bbq
Today is Memorial Day holiday in the states …here it is Indian Arrival Day holiday and my niece’s birthday what better way to celebrate all by taking the day off!! Calling the niece, having a BBQ and also making some curry on the side…a mix up but I want to make sure I have all my bases covered!
Still moving slowly and getting tired quickly. Did go out in the car to return library books that were 17 days overdue. Glad for the new hip but not enjoying the healing process. Can’t focus on anything for very long.
Another slow day here. My oldest nephew came by earlier and talked for a while. School is now officially out for the Summer. I’m scheduled for that odd test/scan Thursday at the hospital in Lexington, I have to be there at 7 a.m. and they will draw blood, then at 11 or so they will put it back in me along with stuff they add to it, then at 3 they do the scan. So…an entire day at the UK hospital trying to pass time, lol. I guess I can take my tablet and a book and magazines…
Got one of my gardens all planted tired but happy
My knee is bothering me so I have had it propped up most of the day. A little heat and little rest hopefully better tomorrow
looking for a replacement bulb for a 15-year old refrigerator that no one seems to have. it’s been discontinued by the manufacturer so the best plan is to open the door only during daylight. thanks
Did you try ebay? It’s crazy the old stuff people have on there. Also, on Amazon type in the fridge’s model and brand and bulb in search and I bet some company makes one that will fit. That’s how I found a vacuum filter for a discontinue model.
thanks for the suggestions. tried Amazon without success but not ebay. Amazon changes daily so will give them both a try.
My day has went by fast. As it always does, especially on a weekend.
I have had a pretty busy day so far for a Sunday. The day seems to be flying by. I am getting ready to make a huge homemade potato salad.
I was up earlier than I wanted to be. The neighbors kids and dog are out everyday at 8 am. I have lots of cleaning to do today.
Went to the laundrymat, did a bit of grocery shopping, watered my plants and phoned my sister.
I hope your sister is doing okay.
Still sore and still waiting on results but ok.
Lawn man came at 6am so he is almost done – after breakfast I have to go out rake, sweep and clear the land drains….no Sunday lunch today – by the time i come up sandwiches will be the extent of my cooking! LOL.. happy Sunday all….
My day has gone fine so far. The day is actually just a few minutes old. I am going to cook a chicken later today.
My day is going surprisingly well. I had things planned and thought they would have to be postponed but they’re all a ‘go’ now. Yay.
It’s been a slow day here. I stayed up to late last night, slept too long this morning. And I’m still draggy and it’s after 6 p.m., lol.
A good day, relaxed and got some work done and spend some time with my nieces.
went for a long, relaxing walk in the park so the day is going well. thanks
My day is going pretty good just got in the door from running around town doing last minute holiday weekend shopping. I am sick over the gases prices that I saw today here $5.13 a gallon total b.s.!!!!!
My day is going fine so far. I had popcorn shrimp for lunch. I saved 20 shrimp for a leftovers dinner.
another cool day sooner or later our temps have to settle down. It will get to hot and we will bitch about it. Did a little cooking and got some stuff ready to freeze. Got a new book I know where I will be in a hour 🙂
I slept in a bit. I don’t really have any plans for the day.
Phew, it’s hot! We’re expecting 70 degrees in Ireland – really warm for this time of year. No plans for today, just reading, napping …
Waiting for my lawn guy – usually is here at 6am. here it is half 7 and no word –
Hello everyone! Back home again after 1 month. Broke my hip, 3 days in hospital, 2 weeks in rehab, 2 weeks at a friend’s house. No good internet so no PBW or other stuff for a month. Poof! May has gone!
Glad to have you back! How on earth did you break your hip, you poor thing?
Today has gone so quickly. We’re not sure where it went but it did.
The internet was down for much of the morning. It was raining off and on throughout the day. Our dog kept barking at the hummingbirds at the feeder. I’m getting sleepy and it’s only 7 o’clock.
Looking forward to the holiday weekend and seeing my nieces.
the day is going well. out first thing this morning to take care of some errands. end of the week cleaning on now. thanks
My niece came by on her way to the high school for her graduation. I would have liked to see it but in this chair it’s just not really doable. I can watch it on YouTube, though. I can’t believe she’s graduating–and going off to college in the Fall.
My day is pretty quiet so far today I am taking it easy today did a lot of running around yesterday and am a little worn out today. We should be getting some rain today and I am looking forward to that we need every single drop.
Had breakfast with an old friend who was in for the long weekend…………. caught up on many years of not seeing each other
Back from viewing a cottage. It’s a wee bit remote & has some damp in one room but other than that it’s great! I’ve put an offer on it but it’s due for another open viewing next Wed. and I may go along again. Just have to do something – no patience and a v.limited budget!
I understand no patience very well… maybe during this week coming you might see another home…
I’m heading to dialysis soon. I am ready for the weekend.
My day is going fine so far. We had big thunderstorms earlier this morning. A trip to the farmer’s market had to be cancelled due to a possibility of a tornado.
Sitting here and I should get up and start moving but not motivated at all…eventually I will get up and make a dessert for the weekend then out to do some seed starting…
It was a fairly good day. Rain off and on. Cleaned out my curio cabinet and made Rice Krispy Treats.
had my eye check and ordered some new glasses I’m looking forward to the new frames
All I’ve done today is yawn. And I have no right or reason to be so tired, lol.
Out and about this morning beautiful weather. Got home put everything a way ……………….. then took a NAP 🙂
My day is going pretty good. I am a little/lot pissed off that I am having to bird dog down some giveaways that I won 1-2 months ago. I hate it when bloggers don’t even reply to your emails once they ‘get theirs’ who cares about you. I needed to vent a little today thanks for listening.
Up early to watch the grandbaby. He is still sick.
Slept most of the afternoon! Just so many thoughts whizzing round my head.
today is going well. the sun’s out and just a light breeze – just right for outside chores. thanks
My day is going fine so far. I hope to get a lot of tasks done today. I still need to cook some squash!
I have to get outside and weed before the rain starts today – can i say I am so sick of weeding.. LOL…Calgon take me away!
I kept busy cleaning, doing laundry and gardening and then watched a comedy last night.
My day has gone fine so far. I took care of some chores today. I’m about to start cooking some yellow squash with onions and a bit of bacon.
Checked out a bungalow from the outside today & I like it. It’s in my price bracket and needs much less work than the other one. Viewing it on Friday & plan to make an offer. We’ll see …
Best of luck with this one… always sending you good vibes….
Thanks Michele xxx
I am very down today about the massacre in Texas been watching a lot of news reports and need to take a break from it. Hurts my heart for all the children and parents. These times we live in are not so good.
Third day of trying to straighten out the grocery screw up: they billed me twice for the same order. They are blaming the bank and the bank is blaming them. I don’t care, I just want it fixed. Groceries are too expensive to pay for them twice!!
Ever time I read or think about those children I get mad and cry. How many more people are going to have die before someone does somthing about gun control. I have a great niece and a great great nephew in school.
Doing better today not as much pain in my skin cancer incision.
the day is going well. the weather’s great, the in-house humans and animal menageries are happy. thanks
The grandbaby isn’t feeling good today.
gotta love it – yesterday was pouring tropical rain and today the Sahara dust is so bad that the Met office says stay indoors if you can – you do not have to tell me twice! another day off sounds good to me!
Man, sometimes it just seems that nobody can do their jobs and everyone is trying to irritate you, lol. Today and yesterday have been those times.
Chin up it will get better….
Had some skin cancer taken off of my face, leaving me with 16 stitches, not fun.
I was up early with the grandbaby. I’m going later for a birthday dinner for my daughter.
Just a quiet day temp is still down and some rain. Worked on some craft items, read a book …………… took a nap. Now trying to think what I want to eat.
It’s been a month since I went Sale Agreed so I rang my lawyer for an update – they still haven’t received the contracts from the vendor’s lawyers. Rang the auctioneers who tried to contact them but no reply. Who knows what’s going on but I’m going to start looking again just in case. Feeling thoroughly peed off.
Michele must be right about Mercury affecting us because I’m feeling the same way–everything makes me thoroughly pi$$ed, lol. I hope this is all due to things being slowed down due to ongoing Covid stuff and not them trying to back out.
Me too but I can’t afford to hang around doing nothing.
We’ve been outside most of the day – planting, weeding, sorting – all sorts of fun things. So the day is going well. Thank you.
My day is going pretty good so far. I am trying to get several things done today as tomorrow it is suppose to be 90 degrees here and that is way too hot for me.
today is going well. the sun’s out and we’ll get rain later on – best of both worlds. thanks
today is a typical rainy season day – tropical rain with no wind thank goodness…I must study for exams starting next week then off for the July August holiday as they call them here… I will sign up for “summer school ” though….
My day is going great. There’s only about a week and a half of school left for the kids and I can’t wait for the new chapter to begin.
Well, it’s been a day. Trying to straighten out a grocery pickup order for which they billed me twice, and get that 2nd charge taken off my account at the bank, and I have another kidney infection…just in a bad mood all the way around.
Mercury Rx.. try and work through this energy will be o ver soon! Hope you feel better!
My way is going pretty good so far. I headed out early this morning and did some major shopping at Walmart to stock up on household supplies. I am now ready for a serious break running around town wore me out boy I need a better pair of walking shoes.
Our weather is so strange Saturday was 87 Sunday 75 Monday 60…………….. cool till Saturday then temp goes back up
Just another day
Not feeling very good today, having a problem with vertigo.
The start of a new week. Heading to dialysis soon.
Absolutely nothing to report from this end. Having trouble sleeping so going for a nap!
It’s Monday and I had a rough weekend with an ear infection.. Trying to get in better spirits but right now I just kinda feel blah. Hoping rest of week is better!
Honestly, being disabled, my days are pretty much the same. Some days are pretty good but the pain can make some days not so good. I just pray and make the best of it all.
I had a lovely time yesterday with our company. -so good to see old friends and catch up….the day was too short!
I had a very busy day. My daughter stopped by and dropped of 5 loads of laundry for me to do. Her washer and dryer are broken. Right after that, my neighbor sent me a test asking me to do 4 loads of laundry for her. I didn’t have time to do my own. Then made supper, did the dishes and did a few things around the house. In between all of that, I chatted with my fiance, who lives in the UK.
this day is going well so far. hopefully it will continue that way. thanks
I got cut off in traffic three times.
Just got done with work had better days
had a nice visit with my husbands family for my nephews sons first birthday.
I slept in. I went and got coffee and just relaxing today,
The one great thing about being old is taking naps. Raining and nice little breeze I was out for over 2 hours. So I am just going to be lazy the rest of the day
Sometimes, in the cold of Winter, I forget that Spring isn’t just sun and flowers. It’s heat and storms and tornado warnings. The last few days have been stormy and windy. But hot. I mean the kind of heat that you know will only break when a storm hits. Today has been stormy, off and on. So far, tornado watches have been mostly South of us. That’s the one drawback of Spring.
So far having a nice quiet Sunday. Just staying home today and doing stuff around the house and online. Hope you have a nice day.
It’s a nice quiet day of just staying home! Yesterday was busy with a graduation party to go to and a birthday celebration for my husband!
I’ve just realised that it’s been 85 days since I cooked a meal. I dreamt about my special omelettes last night!
one of the first things I did after I got home was cook something, lol!
Starting off the day at church then a nice nap!
My day has gone fine so far. We went to a dance recital yesterday. The kids will be visiting today.
the day has just started but there are lots of good things planned. expecting family to visit which will be the highlight of the week. thanks
It’s been a stormy or sunny Saturday…depending on the time of day, lol. It has gone back and forth all day. And one of the bird’s nests outside here has two baby birds in it!
The day has been okay. We had a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Hubby is picking up pizza for dinner.
My day is going better now that I am home. I had some grocery shopping to do well, I only needed a few things but ended up getting behind a couple in the 15 items or less Express check out and they had a full cart!!!
Just the usual Saturday chores today and now rading & eating fresh dates!
reading!
I slepted in a bit. I am heading to lunch with the family soon
My day is going very well. I’m expecting some video visits from friends I haven’t been in touch with for many months. It’s going to be great.
Slept late and just finished breakfast. Temp is now 2 calling for 90 today. Right now windows are open and air feels good. Don’t know what I am going to do today maybe take a nap
My day is going fine so far. We have a dance recital to go to later today with front row seats. We are having shrimp for lunch .
Went out yesterday and shopped quickly and back inside..Having guests tomorrow.. have not entertained this large since 2017 when husband passed – have no fear I am on top of my game!
I’m just sitting here eating almonds dusted with cocoa powder (the illusion of having chocolate, lol) and watching one of those ghost hunting shows. Yep, an EXCITING Friday night for me, lol!
got our floating dock and jet ski in today
we were to have 90+ today it got to 80 and almost rained all day. My sister in law ended up in the hospital fell last night broke ankle. REally messed it up tried last to set it BUT……………… Having surgery today
Just back from checking out the house. No sign of mice or mould thank goodness but the vendor has left a lot of furniture and every wardrobe is full of old clothes and the fridge/freezer has been unplugged so it’s absolutely rotten :(. The shed is full of old stuff as well. I’ll email my lawyer to query the cost of removing all the stuff & who pays. If they expect me to remove it all then I’d expect some discount of the buying price. Also the water is cut off so I need to check there’s no outstanding bills to be paid.
On the plus side, there are beautiful dog roses in flower now so it’s bumble bee heaven!
Things are pretty quiet here today thank goodness. We have had a ton of wind and it is chilly here but clear blue skies.
My day has gone fine so far. We had grilled steak with lunch. It was delicious!
Heading to dialysis soon. Happy Friday!!!
today is going well. lots to do. despite the rain, it got done. thanks
More rain here today, and tornado watches. It’s that time of year. For the most part we weren’t in the worst of it today, though.
did a little shopping when checking out I asked the woman in front of me if she had coupons and she said no. So I gave her $5 of $25 she was so happy
decided to take a nap and my great niece (5) and her grandma stopped by for a little bit.
Spending the day with my grandbaby.
My day is going just so so today but I am trying to turn it around. Going to get busy doing a project to keep my mind busy and off of other issues today.
I’ve made an appointment to visit the house tomorrrow afternoon. I plan on doing an inventory of what’s left by the vendor, measure windows so I can see if my curtains will fit etc. On the way back I’m planning a walk through the nearest town to see what’s what. Sooner I move in the better as I’d rather spend the cost of accommodation, cattery & furniture storage on the new house.
My day is going fine. The day is supposed to be sunny. I might make some chili for a meal today.
Good! Planning to go on a long walk today!
Trying to get motivated to get moving this morning to no avail – think I will have another cup of coffee and reply to some family emails…
My day went well. A little wet, but the gardens need it.
My day was busy and noisy and sucky.
Rainy day. Is it just my imagination or does it always rain on days when we bury a family member?? My aunt was buried today. I didn’t get to go because it’s a few hours away and my brother drives a big pick-up so I can’t get in & out of that. he & his wife did go, though, and he took a family heirloom that I intended to give to my aunt next time we were able to actually meet because I knew she wanted to pass it on to her daughter & great granddaughter and great-great…yes, her line already goes that far. My Mom had the old biscuit mixing bowl their grandmother used when they were kids and after she died my aunt had asked if I cared if she took it. I didn’t mind at all because I think family treasures like that should be with people who actually have an attachment to them–and I have no one to leave it to. My brother brought me a rose from her casket and her memoriam card–and he said my cousin (my aunt’s only daughter) instantly knew what bowl it was. My aunt had told her stories about it.
That’s lovely, Tamra. I remember you mentioning the bowl on FB.
Only got 4 hours sleep last night so tired.
today is going well. lots of time for ‘play’ coming up soon. thanks
Well, the surveyor’s report arrived & has shown up some things that I wasn’t aware of but after a bit of a panic and a deep breath I re-read it. The work is do-able and needn’t be done before I move in so I can spread the cost a bit. I’ve re-done my figures to allow for things like replacing the boiler and it’s going to be tight but it will be mine. Over to the legal eagles now to check boundaries, deed titles and so on. Oh, and I’ve got a National Monument in the next field! It’s a small Bronze Age Hill Fort and dates from approx 2500BC to 500BC. There’s lots of them in this particular area but I hadn’t realised the were protected by law.
There are always surprises on those darn inspections!! I’m glad it’s going to be doable because I feel like you have made a real connection with the home.
My day is going pretty well. Our toilet wasn’t working properly so I watched a video on Youtube and fixed it myself woohoo!!!! Dodged a huge plumber $$$ bill woohoo!!!!!
My day is going fine so far. I had a Greek Chicken Wrap for lunch. I’m cooking a ham bone and beans for dinner.
Our weather is up and down rain and no rain even a little hail thrown in. Today it is trying to get to 60 but looks like rain and that will drop it. My aches and pains are acting up so I am doing a little bit of nothing 🙂
I’m not feeling very good today and I didn’t sleep well last night.
Gallery varnished so on to something else after class today….
Such a pretty day outside we had a bbq and did some yard work.
I just noticed that my name on this months comments has a plus sign (+) between the first & last name, lol. It’s on several people’s comments, too. Strange. I checked the comment form and sure enough it’s on there, so I removed the plus sign. I wonder how that happened?? Anyway, not much going on around here. The dang apartment maintenance guy had to take down the bird’s nest on my porchlight because management deemed it a fire risk. Huh??? A little bird’s nest on a metal porchlight on a brick building? He hasn’t been able to take down the one on the downspout, though because the bird is in it a lot, clearly has already laid her eggs, and has a hissy fit when he gets near, lol. You go girl!!
Good day so far! Picked out new bathroom flooring!
I got 4 of my planters planted, one of the gardens cleaned out and more, a very productive day.
It was absolutely bucketing down today so I didn’t go to the house. The surveyor’s report is due tomorrow, then contract signing. Another couple of weeks, fingers crossed, and I’ll be a homeowner.
I bet that is such a weight off your shoulders. When it’s final, you can exhale, lol.
nice quiet day got a little done finished a book took a nap rain makes me sleepy
I have the grandbaby today. I made a coffee run.
today is going well. getting caught up on some much-needed mending and later, baking. thanks
It has been one wacky morning that’s for sure seems like things are a little off today. I had some good news this morning so things are turning around a little.
My day has gone well so far. It is 69 degrees. It is supposed to be sunny today.
Yesterday began the 2022 rainy season – here we go again! today I have to start varnishing the gallery..slowly but surely I will get the inside wood done….
It was a good day, and we were able to begin the work in the gardens. Yard. Chicken coop. Goat pen. It was very busy.
Got up early after not enough sleep, so I’m draggy today. But I’ll get my 2nd win around bedtime, lol.
My day started badly, but ended well.
My day was quiet today. My evening as well.
I went to the plant nursery and bought all I needed for my gardens and spent way to much.
Today was an ok day. The sun is out.
My day is going well and a little too fast. Just now making dinner. What would I do without leftovers? Then it is off to grocery shopping.
The building surveyor is checking the property tomorrow so I’m going to drive over to have a chat with him & do an inventory of what’s left in the house, measure windows for curtains etc. Just got an email from the cattery – Idris is fine but down in the dumps – don’t blame him!
Ah, when does Sir Idris get his reprieve??? Is he coming to the new place soon?
Not until the contracts are signed – another couple of weeks 🙁 Then I’ll clean one room for the pair of us & start work.
Very pleased that you got your new place.. best of luck in it…
Not quite there yet, Michele. Really getting fidgety, can’t wait to get started on making it mine!
My day is off to a pretty good start so far. We are having all kinds of phone issues so that has me kind of stressed out.
I have had a good day so far. We had a short family trip. We enjoyed being in the mountains.
today is going well. it’s what a family member referred to as a ‘scudsy’ day – overcast, humid, not much air moving. slows one down, so putting one foot in front of the other is the key to crossing things off the to-do list. thanks
Taking another day off today – remnants of last nights eclipse apparent – strong tropical wave approaching originating off the coast of Africa – traveling far to us! wind and heavy rain – looks like a new book to start!
That sounds like a perfect day to me!!
Well, I cleaned the house today. You know, in the way that you only clean when something has happened that fills you with nervous energy and restlessness, and you HAVE to do something, to distract our mind, I guess. I do this when someone dies–and my aunt died Friday, so I’ve basically got a spotless house.
The day was a good day. Why do the days go by so fast? I can never get caught up on my to-do-list.
this day is going well. it’s been very busy with errands outside the place. evening’s for rest. thanks
Got some yard work done , a good day.
nice day got to spend time with a old friend caught up on several years
I slept in and just relaxing today
I am having a nice quiet Sunday hope you are doing the same. We are having some spring like weather here today 76 degrees.
Took my plants out for a drive this afternoon! Other than that, listened to a couple of plays on BBC4 radio.
The day started off by a nice start going to church. Going to pamper myself this afternoon!
Sitting here with my coffee planning my day – nothing on my list but relaxing! music on – breakfast easy – and the dog and cats looking at me to play – what could be better! Happy Sunday all….
My day went well. It was gorgeous out, and the snow has almost all melted. Gardening!!
I am too tired to enjoy the day! Tomorrow will be a better day.
My day went buy way to fast as it always does, especially on the weekend.
I had an okay day. I can’t say anything special or out of the ordinary happened.
It’s going well. It’s a lovely day there and perfect for a long walk on the trails.
Trying to stay cool in this unusual early heat wave.
I’ve spent most of today cleaning. Mopping, dusting, trying to establish some sort of order around here.
Today is super nice and it is a perfect 70 degrees outside. I had some running around to do today and every one was so nice and happy love days like today.
A beautiful warm day today so I took the houseplants out of the car & gave them a feed and a good shower.
I slept in today and did some cleaning. Going to my brothers birthday dinner later.
Some days I just feel so lazy!! If I want to do something I do if not just stay home. Made a pasta salad this morning, read a little and took a long nap.
the day is going well. even got some extra reps in this morning. thanks
Beautiful sunny day – running outside to water the garden and do some flower transplants – also zucchini and cucumber transplants.. then back inside – eclipse weekend!
My day went okay. Hot and boring. Gone by too fast as always.
Crazy day. I went to the grocery earlier, came home and thought it would be a quiet evening. Then my brother called and I found out my aunt Jean, my Mom’s sister has died. She wasn’t doing great but we all thought she was getting better. So, now we all have that strange, unsettled feeling you get when someone close has died.
I saw this earlier – such sad news, Tamra. Please convey my condolences to the whole family.
I will Kate. Thanks. She was the last of Mom’s sisters–their much younger sister died when she was young (I was just a few years younger than her) in a car accident.
Yay, It’s Friday. I went to dialysis and came home to relax.
We had 7 yards of black dirt dumped in the driveway and my husband & I moved it to the gardens, I’m so tired.
nice quiet day got a lot done a little at a time also finished a book ready to start another
It’s not going as I wanted. There’s a massive power outage so I’m trying to figure out how to keep family and food safe.
Today is going really well. I’m finding what I need when I need it and that really helps. The sun’s out and it warms the place up, reducing the need for using heating.
Happy Friday 13th! Was doing some typing & getting some emails out – just woke up after a 3 hour nap. My head’s all fuzzy so heading out for some fresh air before it gets dark.
My day is off to a productive start. I have gotten a ton done and it is not even Noon yet woohoo. I love days like this one where it seems I have a ton of energy.
this day is getting better as it goes along. a 6 am spam phone call didn’t start things off well, so there’s a lot of room for improvement. thanks
My day is going fine so far. It is overcast. There’s supposed to be rain this weekend.
Decided to take the day off today and rest a bit – first set some yoghurt in the maker and bake some bread – than the divan and my book!
Not a great day, broke a tooth today and cannot get in to get it fixed till Monday.
Ugh, I got up early today after just sleeping a few hours, and I have felt groggy all day, lol. Of course, I’ll be wide awake when it’s time for bed…
Long story short version out to do some shopping……………. car battery dead 2n time in little over a month with a battery that was only 5 months old. AAA took care of the problem pulled the almost new one and replace with a NEW one……………. Happy Happy
Got shopping done got it in and put the cold stuff away and left rest out. Decided I needed a nap………….. 2 hours later ready to go
I was up early with the grandbaby. Getting ready to pick up a food order.
It’s been a great day today. And the weather has been wonderful (finally!).
My day is going quite well. I’m getting caught up on some chores that were left over from last week.
My day is off to a nice start today. I got caught up on some much needed sleep last night and I feel a lot better today.
the day is going well. it’s a lovely day here. I think Mother Nature has finally decided to stay a while. thanks
My day is going fine so far. I am crossing some things off my to do list. It is 67 degrees now with a high of 69 degrees.
Just had a call from the niece – sis is home & heading to bed. She’s ok but v. sore when the painkillers ease off. All’s looking good that they got everything.
That is great news! Glad to hear she’s doing well!
Wonderful news!
It must be all the Hungarian in me but I am strong and heal pretty fast – went out again yesterday and carefully moved around to do some more cutting – today I am going out again to do some more – this will take me days but I have learned to move a bit slower and more cautiously – all I have left now are the black and blues!
My brother and S-I-L and my doctor want me to get a motorized wheelchair–arguing that it will be easier for me when I go to the grocery, not as exhausting when I have to go to the doctor at a big place like UK and insurance will cover it. All true. But I think it might mean I won’t stay as strong as I have gotten in my arms and core–because as tiring as it is to roll myself around, it also means I’m using my arms and core. And I fear losing any strength. Because I’ve seen what happens when people think they can coast in a health situation. There is no coasting, no saying ‘well, this is good enough. I’ll just accept this.’ You are either trying to get better or you are going to start sliding backward. Maybe there is a wheelchair that is motorized but also just lets you use your arms if you want. There must be, right? Then I could use it if I needed to at a store or clinic or hospital.
Look for one Tamra – that way you can the option you want – there are times when you could really use a chair that is motorized – you need to take care of yourself…
Went to dialysis this morning. I didn’t have the grandbaby until later in the day. It was a nice sunny day today.
Today was warm. Had to turn on the air conditioning for the first time this year.
The day is going really well. The kids are enjoying helping with outside chores. Thank you.
I had an awesome day at work today but I am even more excited to relax and watch movies.
Nice day beautiful weather nice breeze coming in my windows. Still working on cleaning out drawers/cabinets one or two a week
Trying to stay cool in the house it’s so muggy out.
My day is going pretty good just got home and am taking a break and resting my tired feet. I did a ton of running around in and out of several stores and I am so tired now.
My day is going fine so far. I am checking a few things off my to do list. Now it is time to fold laundry!
this day is going well. the weather is finally settling on Spring-like conditions. sure makes it easier to be outside. thanks
No news about the house, no news from the sister … sleeping, reading and I’ll go jump in puddles again later.
Out on the land yesterday taking vines off banana and orange trees and yes – a mis-step and I fell into a hole….laughing now but not then! Feeling it today but as my father would say get up – dust yourself off and keep going..( he fell off our roof once and got up and walked away).. so carefully today I am back out there finishing the job….
Not again! Woman, will you never learn?
My head is very hard!
Holy moly!! Be careful out there! Look up, look down, look all around, lol, before you do anything.
These holes – drains are cut deep ( my husbands work) and after years of not raking they are covered over with bush – I usually take a walking stick and poke as I go BUT lazy lazy with a bucket of shears and a machete and a tree saw – I had no room! LOL
All I have done since I got up is yawn, lol. I need to go to bed early, but I won’t, lol.
I woke up early but fell back asleep. I ran errands today.
Just a regular day nothing good or bad ……………….. BUT I did get my nap in. Tried to tell my great niece (5) she hates taking a nap or just resting your eyes in prek……………………… some day you are going to wish you could take a nap during the day
The sun is out, it’s nearly 80 degrees and I just got my 2 COVID booster – so it’s been a good day!
2 of 5 kids home from schoool sick, trying to catch up on housework.
My day is is a sleepy one didn’t get a lot of sleep light night been taking care of a sick kitty. I am so going to sleep tonight though.
Another day of not doing very much. Waiting on some documents from my solicitor & trying to find a photocopier/scanner in this little town.
the day isn’t going as planned but overall, well. took the bones out for a walk so that’s good, despite the wicked wind and chill. thanks
Reality has set in today – back to work!! spent the w/e watching all my favorite Tennessee Williams movies from the 60’s. love them all – no one writes women better than Williams…a dear friend of mine , gone now, was a waitress in Key West and had great stories of waiting on Williams and Truman Capote.. perfect gentlemen southern charm and Williams was a wonderful tipper!!
Today started off rough and monday-like but it turned out ok!
Well, yesterday I couldn’t get the blog to load–chrome kept telling me it was not sending a something or other that was what they normally get from PB & Whine. I have no idea why, lol. Anyway, all is normal today. I have an appointment for the white blood cell test the orthopedist wants–the 23rd & 24th–it’s a 2 day thing. The first day, they draw blood and then you come back a few hours later and they inject the blood back into you along with whatever they’ve added to it–then the next day, you come back and they do the scan. I assume the blood has some kind of contrast added so they can see it in the scan. That means 2 days of going to Lexington and back, and the first day will be a full on 6 or 7 hour thing. I’m tired already! Lol.
What can I say – try and be strong and get thru thus.. Saying prayers for you…
I know I have to do it, so I will, lol. But the sad fact is I am not back to 100% and I have to admit I am exhausted after having to go somewhere like that. You’d think sitting down all the time would make it easier…but you use your arms a lot and it is tiring.
Just try to go with the flow (yes, I know I should try practising what I preach). Thank goodness you’ve got someone who wants to get to the bottom of your ankle’s woes.
I know. I keep telling myself that after this test, I will definitely know if infection is the culprit. So…it will be worth the trouble.
My day has gone fine so far. I had an omelette for lunch. I had leftovers for dinner.
I had a 2 hour nap and it felt so good. Doing a little bit of ths and nothing of that
8am woke up … 11am woke up … 1pm woke up & had something to eat … 5.30pm woke up & went for walk … 8pm woke up …
That was me this morning!! Except I had to get up at the 11 wake-up because a text woke me up saying the Walmart delivery person was on his way, lol. So, what’s the story with the house you had your eye on? Are you waiting for word on it or have you decided to move on to a different one?
Contracts are with the legal teams. I’m looking for someone to survey the house (already know it needs the floors replacing in 2 rooms) so it’s more waiting which, as you know, I am just not good at!
I’m exhausted from helping my husband fix the dock
this day is going well. another chilly one, though, so had to bundle up before going outside. grateful to have warm clothes and shelter. thanks
My day is going well. The temperature is a nice 77 degrees and it’s sunny. Might be walking the dog, today.
My day is off to a pretty good start. I am sticking around the homestead today getting stuff done and cleaning.
I had a great weekend. But I am super tired. I didn’t want to get up today.
Happy Mother’s Day! I’m spending time with my kids and grandkids.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all you Mums in the US. And for all of us who do not have children, Happy Day!!!
My day is going pretty good just had a huge wonderful breakfast of this Mother’s Day. Hope you all have a great day.
the day is going well – the kids are here and baking a special treat for later. hopefully, part of the treat will be cleaning up the kitchen. love ’em regardless. thanks
My day is going fine so far. It is a bit overcast today. There’s a predicted high of 58 degrees.
It’s not going great, to be honest. I got in a stupid fight with my husband and I’m really stressed out.
A very nice day at the lake
I had a wonderful afternoon going to lunch and to a shooting range with my daughter and her fiancé for Mother’s Day. I also got some beautiful flowers.
Yesterday was a long one with having to go to UK (Univ. of KY) for a doctor’s appointment–it’s such a huge place that you have to walk a country mile every time you go in there, lol. And it is a trip to Lexington, and when I’m ready to go home, I can’t just get in a car and leave, I have to call the FTSB bus (they accommodate wheelchairs) and wait on them–you never know how long it’ll be. In other words, a long day. The upshot is the orthopedist is concerned it could be infectious arthritis. Meaning it isn’t like my other plain old arthritis, but it’s caused by an infection that ate away at the bone, etc., and caused an arthritic joint. That might explain why it came on all of a sudden in a joint where I had not previously had any arthritis pain. That ankle went from no pain to excruciating in less than 24 hours! And it started right after I first tried completely stopping the antibiotic they had me on long-term for the MRSA. Since then, I’ve tried stopping the antibiotic five times (my infectious disease doctor okayed it) and each time the ankle went ballistic in a few days. It’s possible the Doxycycline is acting as an anti-inflammatory and helping in that way but it would be unusual for it to help that much with arthritis pain alone. So, it could be that it is suppressing infection in the ankle, too. Anyway, first things first: he wants to know if infection is in there. After that, we’ll know what we can do about it.
just a quiet day rest and relaxing going to laundry later this evening
My day is flying by for sure. Just got home from the store now I am cleaning the house and taking care of a sick kitty.
Went for a long drive today just to blow the cobwebs away! My sister has had her op. & is in recovery.
Sending good thoughts to her…and you!
the day is going well. it’s amazing how much one can get done when it’s a little chilly outside – keeps you moving. thanks
My day has gone fine so far. We had a big rainstorm last night. We are supposed to have more rain today.
It is Mothers Day weekend and I have wonderful memories of my son – buying me roses – taking me to a very posh dinner then the theatre…and my amazing daughter 9 years younger making me cards and spending the day showing me just how wonderful she was – now this same wonderful daughter is giving me the best weekend of my life – sharing her memories of me – I could not be any happier or feel more grateful…
Enjoy – it’s well-deserved!
Have a great weekend, Michele! Happy Mothers Day.
What a day. First I had to go to the doctor and it stormed buckets just as I got home, but of course I got drenched. Ugh, and I have to have a scan on the ankle to be sure there’s no infection. hopefully, there’s not…
Hope the scan comes out negative for infection – you need a break!
Fingers crossed there’s no bad news xxx
My day has been fairly good. I got out of bed before anybody else and enjoyed the quiet.
Had a busy day great niece (5) spend the day with me. We were busy all day long Its almost 8pm and I am ready for bed 🙂
My day has gone fine so far. I took part in a Mother’s Day tea that was lovely. We had a short but torrential afternoon rain.
My day is going pretty good so far. It is super windy here today so I am praying we don’t lose power.
My sister goes for surgery tomorrow & for some reason I can’t get through to her via landline or mobile (cell). Went for a walk this afternoon soon as it stopped raining & jumped in puddles!
I am ready for the weekend. Happy Friday.
I have the day off so I’m making brownies for Mother’s Day!
this day has gone well so far. getting lots checked off the to-do list – so grateful. thanks
It has rained all week. And it’s supposed to storm tomorrow, which figures since I have to go to the doctor tomorrow in Lexington…blech. I hate having to go out in the rain. When you’re in a chair, it gets wet and you wind up sitting in a wet chair…I have some rain ponchos that are supposed to cover the chair too, but if the wind bows at all…well, you get the picture. And either way, you’re dealing with overall WETNESS, lol.
Whew, it’s a very windy day out there. So much for the time in the garden. But the day is going well because I can spend more time on my favorite ‘chores’.
My day is going well. I think the thunderstorms are over. My cat can come out of the closet.
It’s a rainy day today. Heading out soon to get my grandson from school.
Rain and a chill in the air…………. aches and pains But that’s OK
Today is going quite well. The kids are really busy with projects. Thank you.
More sleep last night and a 2 hour nap this afternoon! Went for a walk and got rained on.
Trying to get all my lists together for my shopping day tomorrow – want to leave around 6am to start with the feed and grain then on to pharmacy and grocery…
My day has gone fine so far. It has been Thursday for just 9 minutes. I’ve been making some greeting card kits for friends to make tomorrow.
the day hasn’t gone at all as expected (wanted) but it has been educational. thanks
Not a lot going on today. I’ve been lazy and draggy today, so nothing going on is fine by me.
took a long walk with my girlfriend today, her smart watch said that we took 17000 steps.
My day was pretty boring as usual.
Feeling pretty good day, the sun is shining and i have so much to do around the house!
Thanks to the ear plugs I got 10 hours sleep last night and feel so much better today, almost lighter! Bit of a scorcher out there today so I’ll head out for a walk later on. Sent a card to my sis wishing her luck for her op on Saturday.
I am just plain tired. Seems like it’s never ending
Another rainy day I really just wanted to wrap up in a blanket and sleep the day away
My day has gone fine so far. I finished reading a book for book club. I will be leading the discussion later this month.
Had a blackout right after emailing yesterday – so today I have to catch up on my classes….weather looks sketchy anyway….
this day is going well – lots of people with whom to connect and success in each case. thanks
I think that Mama bird has finally made headway on her nest. I got worried about it because the wind was nuts today and some was hanging loose, so I took the broom and knocked that bit down–I was thinking maybe I should knock kit down so may e she will start over in a better spot…but, after that part fell, I could see that she has actually got a pretty sound, firm vase up there where the mud is holding it together solidly. I think it’ll hold. It didn’t budge when the broom hit that part. So, she is definitely a robin–they use mud in their nests.
Sometimes you’ve just got to learn the hard way!
My day went by way to fast as alway, and it was pretty sucky too.
No yard work today rained all day
My day has gone fine so far. I had a hamburger for dinner. We bought some fresh strawberries today.
My day was fine. It was quiet. I should be happy with peace and quiet.
Aches and pains when we have rain but other wise nice quiet day……………. starting to thunder
My day went good, I’m tired though(trouble sleeping) but it was a good day
I spent time with my mom, I did a workout.
I didn’t fall asleep until 3 am. I woke up at 6 am to watch my grandbaby but he didn’t get here til 830. I could have slept longer.
Today dad has been gone 19 years….Everyday I think of him and what he would comment on .. he was tough believe me.. but the most honourable man I have ever known bar none… hope he is watching over me and my new hopes dreams and major life changes!
Of course he is and I bet he’s damn proud xxx
I’m going to clean my room & ensuite today plus a load of laundry. Note to self: buy some ear plugs when you’re out – we’ve a full house: 12 rooms, 26 residents … toilets flushing … doors opening & closing … all night …
my day went so well because i won your contest last month! you are super, connie!
the day has gone well so far – still lots to do before heading to bed. thanks
I have an appointment with an orthopedist for my ankle on Friday. I’m not really looking forward to it–I don’t have a lot of faith in doctors. I’ve seen too many in the last 4 years and most have been useless rather than useful. We’ll see.
It’s your time for a change, Tamra; this might be the little push that’s needed. Whatever … it’s not going to hurt to get more advice. Bring it on, I say!
My day was fine. I was able to take our dog for a walk.
Nice day slept in and made breakfast. Maintenance showed up and fixed my closet doors. the weather is nice windows open
I did a whole lot of nothing today other than make a couple of calls.
My wonderful husband today removed all of the dirt from my flower garden so we can replace it with some good black dirt.
Doing ok done with work so doing better
I slept terrible last night. Heading to dialysis soon.
It’s a typical Spring day here – you name it, we’ll get it. So, the day is going well.
Eid holiday – beach for many – weeding for me!!
Wonderful day. Church this morning, a nap in the afternoon and then taking care of the animals.
It was a pleasant day, weather wise. My best wishes to George. We have MS in common. Surprises everyday.
I knew something was up. Not like you to pass up a few giggles & groans here without a reasion. Much love to George xxx
REASON!!!
Every day has started with sweeping the front porch lately, because that Mama bird is not a good nest maker, lol. Half of it falls every night. I think above the porch light is just not a great spot to set up housekeeping.
Could you hang something underneath like a little hammock?
I can’t reach it, lol. Rob just wants to knock it down, like a typical male ‘problem solver’ personality, lol. I thought she’d figure out the problems with her c hosen spot, but this is her 4th try (she started again today.) She’s hell-bent on that spot. Rob might be right (don’t dare tell him that!)–he seems to think if we knock it down she will see the spot as dangerous because of us and look elsewhere.
My day has gone fine so far. We had Mexican food for lunch. I had leftovers for dinner.
I hope May is a better month for you!
it’s May Day. a slow start and now it’s raining. hopefully it will clear the air and give the flora a much-needed drink. thanks
I had the grandbaby a lot longer yesterday than expected. I tried sleeping in but the neighbors were up and out early as usual so I couldn’t sleep. Now I am just relaxing.
Don’t know but this has been one of those day that I just keep taking naps………… So far I have had 3 today.
My day is off to a nice start today. It is going to be 72 degrees here today and clear so that is nice. I am airing out the house got all the windows open love this spring air. Hope you have a wonderful May Day.
It’s Sunday so I think I will watch hockey and order a pizza!
