Good morning.
45 to start our day, with perfect skies, going to 70 later.
Robin, sorry you had a flat. That is the one thing I dread, driving, as if you are driving a bit fast, those can really throw you. And of course the time spent dealing with it. I know all of us women should know how to change a tire, but really??? Most men can not boil water, so tit for tat.
Most times I have my phone in my pocket, so counting my steps most times works.
Oh boy, your poor DS! Hope it does not turn into something worse, over time.
Pinky, thank you. I agree, about the counseling. The thing is to even approach her about it. Yesterday she found out she has to have surgery for a hernia by her belly button, so now she is dealing with that. I have heard over the years that that surgery is basically very minor, but of course I won't tell her that.
I did put the heating pad on the knees, swapping it every so often last night, but geez, that is just a pain, pardon the pun!
I am happy for all of you rancher's/farmer's that are seeing better times this year! It is about time, right? Does it seem weird to have one of your DS's around during the day? I know after a while I would tell them to go about their usual work. Does it seem like they are hovering around you?
Gareth, we are expecting to be 70 today, so I am sure you must be getting to at least that also, right? Of course we are still needing more rain.
Sorry you have a cavity, and a root canal needing to be taken care of. I am sure I am in the same boat, but need to look and see when I go again, and of course dreading what I know will be bad news. I have been whitening my teeth as they sure needed it. Would love to know why, with everyone trying to get the cost of meds down, for seniors, nobody seems to care how us seniors get ripped off at the dentist?! What a racket!
Carol, isn't that just precious, about your DGS? Of all 4 of our DGC, there was only 1 who was afraid of me, when she was tiny. To be honest, I am surprised all the kids weren't scared of me, lol.
I was boycotting Kohl's for most of this past year, because their fitting rooms were closed. It did not bother me at first, till we came into this year and I found out Maurice's fitting rooms were open. I was at TJ Maxx yesterday, their's are still closed. I found 2 shirts there that I liked so brought them home, and sure enough one did not fit. I will take it back when I feel like going over there.
In this area, we have a bunch of Y's. I think with all the suburbs that surround GB, that justifies having so many. To me they are too expensive, but they do offer a lot, for families.
Anngie, did I read that right, that a web site wants a picture of you? How strange is that?? There is no way in heck I would be giving a web site my picture, that just does not make sense. But I am not selling things, so that may be why..
Oh I hate those unrestful nights! That is one thing I am dead serious on, us seniors need that 7 or 8 hours of sleep. Yes, sometimes, (most times mostly) I go on 6 hours, and that seems good enough, but 7 hours sleep is when I really seem to have a great day.
The cake....I was not able to check that out yet, hopefully the beginning of next week, but I am set on getting exactly what I want, so if the bakery I am thinking of can do it, I will get it. And among the many flavors they offer, one is strawberry shortcake, which was DH favorite, so that is what it will be. I can not find invitations to the memorial around here so DD suggested Amazon, and after spending a couple hours surfing Amazon, I found one that is perfect for DH. It has a huge buck on the front, in the woods. So after figuring out exactly how many I need, most likely I will be getting those. Every so often I start to get a bit excited, planning this, then it comes through that it is because DH is not here, so that takes care of that excitement.
We had a huge fire here last night, right across the highway that cuts through this area. I would say, as the crow flies, there is, between the woods and farm fields, maybe 1.5 miles between that area, which is a very upscale area of homes (the subdivision is called Thornberry Creek Estates. As a side note, Aaron Rodgers has a home in there, which gossip says is up for sale. From the pic's that people who have drones have posted on the GB page on FB post, it is very nice, but not something I would feel comfortable living in), so as I was, around 5:30 last night, standing at my bedroom window, with it being open, just meditating mostly, with DH, I smelt smoke. A while later, getting my stuff done in the bathroom, I heard sirens. And heard sirens....and they kept on! My goodness, so I went on the GB page, and sure enough there was a fire, right over here! I looked out the window, and the smoke!!! Wow. Then checked again, with the GB page, and what started as a garage fire, turned into a a 2 alarm fire with the house on fire, and then going into the woods right there. I swear for at least an hour, all I was hearing was fire truck sirens. And one of the things I hate; is when fire trucks use their horns. So that was the big talk on social media last night. I looked around 2 hours later, and the smoke was gone. So far I have not heard on the morning news anything about it, which is strange.
I am debating on driving over to a walking trail that is just under a mile away, and getting a good outdoor walk in, after my doctor apt.
Have a nice day everyone.
