Should clear up some by the afternoon, but very cold and raining now welcome to Maine, grandson. Doubtless has changed from Georgia When would you say the leaves burst out? a week ago or two weeks? I forget. About the only sign of summer right now, though after those two hot days last week, and I liked for less than this weather I have the stove on this morning very pleasant
Big doins today
I arrived safely and on time. Then I or BK totally botched lunch order. But everyone got fed after I “apologized profusely”. Mostly sorry for folks behind me. Now A and I are napping in the sunroom and he’s upstairs with his computer Poor kid like visiting a nursing home I think we just don’t have much energy
Energy level good all day. Muscles and joints functioning finish tomorrow
Because blogger dropped my whole entry du jour. as has happened before
So to repeat myself, if I can remember
Up very early. Made call to Hub ok to exchange couch. Red walk in sunshine ended abruptlyin showers. B from Terminix came by with 4 more sticky traps. Had a little time to go to Hub so picked a blue traditional couch, also little red table and brought that home with 3 pillows. Finished Reds walk down town. Went to SP for a mammo But had to postpone it because I had forgotten I was wearing the Zio. Went to pet food store And spent $100 plus on kibble and a couple of treats!!! Whoaa! Stopped at McDonald’s and had ice cream cone and frappe for lunch. Very tasty. then home Talked to neighbor s A and A. Esp about contractors and move. Cooked supper later. Didn’t watch the TV all day. C visited with Nola in the evening Pretty good energy level with just a couple of naps
E and Y are visiting New York for a couple of days and this is the picture from their hotel window. I’d rather be looking at the crowd than I think.
As for me, the cleaning must continue and the body does not want to cooperate beyond certain extent. That’s what I get for putting it off so many years
Poured rain all morning. Dull. Moved furniture. Tired. Sun came out while walking Red. Damp and heating ul
Tell myself I’m making up for all the work at the last few days but that’s just an excuse for laying around and watching TV on what turned out to be a rainy day. I’m “resting up”. Red has been particularly cuddly, maybe because of the changes in the furniture got our long walk in early before the rain started did the two webinars. G is getting so tiresome to me. D is brilliant as always, esp other participants today. I just stopped and watch TV for hour after hour till dinner time and did talk to Dwight. Thank goodness. Disconnected somehow
Still waiting for the Furniture delivery and a 10 to 2 window it’s 145 now and I’m very anxious also very tired from all the cleaning in the last two days and today also second-guessing myself have I wasted resources again while I regret this purchase and the amount of furniture I now have around me so many questions anxiety too All this effort so I can kick my feet back and watch TV on a presumably comfy couch
Arrived about 2:37 Or 337 I forget which. So it’s installed and it definitely takes some getting used to new furniture Hope I haven’t made a mistake
So active today with no loss of energy! Woke about five wig only 2 hours of cpap. Mask not on til 1 am then didn’t stay on apparently. Up and out with Red for long walk by 6:35. Put on Zio patch. Ordered groceries for 4 pm pickup. Cleaned garage about 3/4 hours after phone calls to cleaning services. Financial review with TM. B’s mowers came and did a good job. Went to Lowe’s for cleaning liquids and got solar lights and petunia planter Picked up groceries and put them away. Must finish now. And cook supper after snacking and TV an hour plus.
11,274 steps, 3.31 mi today !!!
Another warm day I did get some housework done, but not much. Red was very reluctant to walk. He preferred sitting and rolling in the grass. Can’t say anything cuter than that
Great weather today… sunny and mild. Not getting much of anything accomplished a lot of lovely day Did the 1 mile loop with Red. Police car stopped right beside us other side of the street and turned on his siren like to scare the heck out of us I was bending over picking up poo. Red was off leash and that was afraid he would jump in front of the car. We were also right beside the scary balloons. Too much adventure?
Did phone chat with sis L Today
About as much as I can say so far. But the do I struck this morning was financial Before 7 AM. Check my accounts, shifted funds, paid out. Must call as about large debt payoff
Took BP, high early. Walked Red short in light rain. NP puzzles always put me to sleep. I need to stop doing them. Feel solazy. Make some phone calls now go to Pharmacy
Worked, I’d say, if imperfectly.
Walked Red, then off to groomer. Newspaper automaand too many sweets for breakfast, then off to Hub to buy furniture from a young salesman named Ian. 3k: couch, two chairs, two small tables, one pillow delivery in a week
Also called heart doctor and have new Zio patch plus follow up appointment with electrocardio PA in June. And the day’s only half done
Almost midnight now. Rain hard last ten hours. C and Nola visited anyway with new very acceptable dog chews. Bit of an attack at the end. I suffered high BP and red face least hour took extra propranolol even if I shouldn’t have
I told my G’s, I, how much I enjoyed conventions. Last one also in Atlanta, national education one. Many good memories.
Almost forgot to post today. I’m about out of time. I did forget my doctors appointment today. It’s actually tomorrow I was 24 hours early how silly
I just spoke to I. He had a great time at his furry con With his girlfriend. Bought her a plush And got some T-shirts and a print for his room which he forgot to bring Home, but she will bring it home and give it to him later.
Some pics he took:
Red and I went to the mall yesterday because it poured rain and never got a good outdoor walk in We greeted people and bought soap and A book. Yes, I might say it’s a smelly holiday since S sent Lilly of the valley oil as a lovely surprise as well.
Feeling better today. The peonies grew probably 5 inches yesterday. The trees all burst into leaf or bud, amazes me how that all happens in one day
Got my grocery order in by nine and will pick it up at three A much easier way to shop. Good start.
Propose something to myself and then back out with the slightest resistance, for example, book resale. The seller didn’t pick up the phone. Thrift and Abe impose conditions. That’s too hard! And checking on my pharmaceuticals.
Busy morning so far. Started work with 7am walk. Chat with Pat on her way to ride her horse. Now read, write. German web soon
7000 steps, 2 mi. Watched war movie, Fury. Very sobering. So tired. Crabby.
To post on this one yesterday. I’ll do the laundry list later. If I feel like it.
We took our monthly trip to Portland for a hair appointment with M. So some pics from there
On our walk today, they seemed friendly, but the fence may have been a good idea
Said it all for now in other blog. Just lounging in bed on this rainy morning seeing how bad I feel for myself and how bad my body feels. Don’t wait. Send $ now. Maybe order restaurant food today and pick it up. Might be the day to learn to use door dash. A’s inability to drive is so worrisome especially considering I may not be able to, either.
Today is a flower micro moon, furthest in orbit from earth, Wesak in Taurus, very powerful I am told. So I will webinar Gene Ang’s meditation at peak of the full moon, 1:23 pm est. blue moon means two I’ll moons in one month, so 5-31, and they only happen ever 2-3 years. Apparently I attended that meditation last year too.
No word from W. Lanier in Ga. Here’s an example of why people complain against bureaucrats : demand for call me now, But unavailable every time you do, and no calls back I expect a call mid-meditation
Rainy all day here— April showers. Country’s in a drought, so we certainly need it.. S’s flower pics are cheering. I asked our orchids, Symbiot or parasites on wine, and it said they can be both, but I did not realize they grow off fungi which provides the moisture. If symbiotic orchid provides fungus with food; if parasitic, nada.
I woke up dreaming about wasps/bees, trying to create/construct small resin pyramids with pieces of the products, supervising 2 large groups of students along with two expert mentors who provided food, especially soup, that I attempted to eat while working. Pressure. It wasn’t going well.
I told JP about the 2024 Statham movie, saying everyone should watch at least its first half hour because it reveals how scary professional phishing scams are; really opened my eyes about that. Fox News this week showed images of a whole compound of buildings somewhere that uses slave labor/locked in captives to work the phones. But I can’t find a picture of it online. A whole complex of factory style buildings had grown from one, rooftop shots. The workforce was poor people, maybe women, enticed by job offers then locked in dormitories and forced to do the phone work.
Sunshine, no wind, pleasant temp. Doesn’t take a lot to make a grand day sometimes. Especially if I leave off the tv.
Another murderous attack on the president. It seems so hopeless. Bongino said the IRA said , we only have together lucky once, the have to get lucky every day, when attacking Thatcher. A said Kennedy said essentially the same thing. One Democratic congresswoman tweeted “Stop trying to murder the President,” God bless her.
