Hi Owls and friends.
Wish some of you southern people could send just a little heat my way. The temp is not so low but there's a strong wind that blows right down my neck when I'm outside.
Went for my pedicure and manicure today. Had a different technique today. Rather than the gel polish I had the dip & tip. My daughter suggested it and the owner said it would prevent my nails from peeling and splitting. The pedicure was so relaxing except when she was trying to fix my ingrown toenail. That hurt a bit but does feel better now.
Been working in my sewing room a bit trying to get it organized a bit better. Beginning to wear down a bit now so think it's time to sit in my chair. Tomorrow morning my neighbor and I are going shopping. She's looking for some kind of pajamas and I need to see if I can find a belt for my vacuum. If I can't I'll just order it from Amazon. Also need to buy a stocking cap or at least see if I can find one cheaper than buying the yarn and knitting my own. Might be spring before I'd get that done. Might go out for lunch too.
I'm feeling sad and lonely today. Our 57th anniversary is coming up and I know that's going to be a hard day for me. We always did something special on our anniversary. Kind of hard to celebrate that milestone alone.
Have a good night. bettyj
Have a good night.

Hello everyone
I feel good. So glad vaccine side effects are over. Yay. That was a doozy.
Definitely relaxing and not doing to much yet. Will go to bed early and watch tv. Tomorrow I want to finish Christmas decorating.
Betty- hugs for you. Maybe you can somehow spend your anniversary in a way that will be ok. My mom brought out her wedding photo album every year and that seemed to help her. I think she also looked at other family photo albums.

Betty, I used to get that stuff at RaDio shack or Lowe’s but no more. I think Amazon made it not worthwhile to keep a variety inventory.
Believe me, if we could send heat we sure would, especially in July! We are finally cool in Tempe..49 at dawn and 66 in master bath! I finally broke down and turned on heat to 70 for morning. It was high 70s by afternoon.
Good report from GP this morning. Since I lost 7 pounds my blood pressure is down and I can quit the tiny dose of HCT (Diuretic) I can't take in sweaty times anyway and half my losartan.
Stopped at target for replacement net lights as half of one burned out, and got a long extension cord to put one net light on a good-sized shrub out back. The solar lights don't get as much light with sun shift and shorter day and the power pack for the old wired lights died. This will be cheery light. Pruned that bush and set it up.
My Questers meeting was a trip to Chandler City museum this afternoon. By noon I realized I cannot wear my favorite soft leather, tied Clarks for very long..feet got longer. My toes really hurt. That means I have no real shoes except a pair of sneakers and my sandals. Wore sandals. There was a lot of standing still and listening…knees got mad! Needless to say, sitting down tonight with Tylenol.
After the museum, I went next door to NY deli and brought home Reubens.

HI OWLS, spent most of my day in the sewing area. just did some cutting and trying to figure out what else to take with me. I have 3 things to take with me and they won't take long to sew.
spent most of the day trying to find a small pattern envelope I HAVE.no can find.
don't you just hate it when you know you have something and can not find it?
we pretty much stayed home today.Don went for groceries and watched a couple going out the door (groceries were paid for)stuff their bag with the hand wiped provide for baskets.
a few years ago DELONA and I were in MCD'S and saw a customer open up the napkins holder stuff his plastic bag full of napkins..what people won't do.I WAS get caught for stealing sure would make it something more expensive then wipes and napkins.
I have it to good to take a chance on stealing anything.
MAR glad you are feeling a lot better.

Betty, I cannot look at those old photo's on those anniversaries and holidays. Makes the sadness worse and brings right back home that I am living alone and missing DH even that much more. I have to get busy and just forgot those old days. No one else remembers your anniversary so it is up to me to just move on and stay busy. Make plans for holidays if at all possible, and my family really does not want to talk about those old days on those days. Might be mentioned on a random day but not on the holiday. They want to make new memories. And I can't say I can blame them.
I feel your sadness and pain!!!

Connie- I think my mom found comfort in looking at wedding album on their anniversary is because she felt close to him. I totally understand on why you do not want to.
