What are you doing today?

[NorthernRedneck]

Took a trip down to the border to pick up a few packages including a new exhaust manifold for the truck. Tired of sucking exhaust fumes every time I stop somewhere. Then came home and worked on the mounting setup on the scooter lift. Got it so that I can unhook it when not in use. Good thing since I need to move the truck camper this weekend out to camp for the winter.

Yesterday I did a lot but I can only do that one day then have to take a break the next. I went to bed early which was a mistake since I then woke up around 1 in the morning. I channel surfed until I found Death Wish Two. I feel asleep during it (I've seen it maybe a dozen times or so). Woke up surfed the net again then napped most of the day. I got up turned on the laptop looked up what to watch on TV then somehow lost the remote. Good trick now how could I lose the remote control without leaving my recliner?
Over the summer my old remote quite so I ordered a new one from Amazon.
I'm a Prime member so it got to me the same day. Maybe I should order another so I can lose that to? The TV I have is a SOB to control without the remote control.

Hey I should write mysteries!
The trick is I didn't have the remote control with me when I sat down to look up shows on my laptop.
My couch has a built built in console. I had put the remote in it so I wouldn't lose it.

Lazed around most of the day watching tv (movies, shows.. NOT anything politically related), napped a little, made dinner, then more tv.



Back to work tomorrow.

Up at 5am in pain so I quickly but gingerly moved to the chair in the living room and began messing around with my new notebook tablet. For some reason trying to upgrade from windows 8 to 10 didn't work yesterday. I'll get it figured out.

Yesterday, I packed up my salt and pepper shaker collection. Quite the job since I have over 100 sets. I cleaned the bathroom top to bottom, and cleaned the living room as well. Did some laundry, and drank a pot and a half of coffee to keep me going. Showered, got my hair cut then played cards in the evening. Went to bed at 1am and didn't get up today until 10:30. I never sleep like that. Anyway I don't have anything to do today.

 

[tiredretired]

More rust proofing on the truck, picked up a little outside and then made it inside just as it started pouring rain.

Rain for the next 3 days so a nap is in order.

I took the bus to the store. Only bought a few things. Can't buy much when traveling by bus. I was real tired when I got home.
I called a friend of mine back east. She finally got out the hospital and into a rehab./nursing home type place. She has a long road ahead of her. For awhile there I didn't think she would live. She was in pretty bad shape.

 

[pirate_girl]

First day back at work after a week off.
It was nice
Really needed that break tho!

I took some leftover meatloaf with me and had some pea salad with it from assisted living's salad bar.

Good weather too. Seasonal 50s and sunny.
Patchy frost tonight they say with the temp going down in the 30s.

 

[pirate_girl]

Thank God I recently discovered Facebook.
Call me a late-comer, but it beats being on forums sometimes.
Where one can go and talk to family members and people they've known for years and years.
I don't have one forum person there at all, and intend to keep it that way.
My son set my privacy settings for me yesterday.

Good boy.
He's knows I am dumb.

Date night with the lovely missus. Dinner and dance with a live band. I know the singer personally as we were cell mates in the hospital last Christmas. Sad night though. Some older man collapsed on the dance floor in front of us. They did cpr till the medics arrived. Pray for him.

I woke up in absolute horrible pain all through my back that's shooting down both my legs... I'm not sure what I did, but damn this sucks..

 

[tiredretired]

After 3 days of rain, the sun is shining today!!! Plan to go out, do a little yard work, pick up the landscape lighting, rake some leaves and maybe go for a walk as I have been cooped up inside for 3 days. In other words, I plan on enjoying the day!

 

[NorthernRedneck]

I took some time to myself tonight while the missus took the kids to a Halloween party. I went to a small but totally awesome concert by a Christian group called "the color". I had never heard of them till this week when I heard about the concert. Glad I went. It was great. Maybe 100 people. But the show they put on was worthy of say....the target center in Minneapolis. Plus, I was able to meet them and talk a bit during intermission.

I had a decent day except for having to deal with Mr.B, the 86 year old Orville Redenbacher lookalike.
He's an assist with his walker at all times.
He decided to walk to the bathroom by himself and fell, so I had to deal with all that paperwork.
Then Mrs.V who is on strict fluid restrictions was caught by one of the aides guzzling water from the lid off a large Scope bottle in her bathroom.
She just came back from the hospital because of pneumonia and other issues.
Seems like it never ends on that wing.
My notes were typed fast and furious

I looked at the schedule for the coming week.
I am on rehab on Wednesday and Thursday, thank God.
They've only got 10 patients there now. That's going to be a relief.

For dinner I had the turkey burger with lettuce, tomato and mayo for second choice, with some mushroom soup.

I have tomorrow off and am looking forward to it.
The only thing going on is that Gretchen has her annual vet appt at 3pm.

Oh is she going to have a pup smear?

Silly goose. lol

I think even though she's had some health issues for a while now at age 14, he's going to tell me she's still got a few good years left in her.

I do what I can to keep her healthy and active.
After all, she's my baby.

 

[Angelface]

I need to figure out a way to sleep through the night. They have me on Trazodone where they started me at 50mg, then 100mg to see if that helps. It knocks me out cold for a few hours, but then I wake around midnight and I start having racing thoughts and can't fall back asleep. I don't even feel that tired during the day. Every once and awhile I'll sleep through the night, but that's every now and again. I try watching tv, listening to music, reading, and other things.. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to, I could stay up for days.

My wife hates it when 3-days of rain keep me inside. I go stir crazy. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often in East Texas.

When it does, strange things start to happen. I'm OK if I have a shop project going, otherwise, watch out. I've been known to break out the ironing board and iron, remove every shirt from the shirt closet, iron them and hang them back up. Believe me, that'll fill in a day. Another one is to get every pair of shoes in the house, retire to the shop and spend the day polishing and buffing. I've also been known to clean guns all day. Undoubtedly the worst one was when my wife stepped out the kitchen door and caught me cleaning all 3 trash cans with Armor-All. Ridiculous, I know, but we did have the nicest looking, shiniest trash cans in the area. It was also amusing to watch a fly land on the trash can and slide right off. It doesn't take much to entertain me.

 

[pirate_girl]

Groomed the pooch for her trip to the vet.
She hates nail trims. Good thing she's lost most of her dangerous teeth.

I'm tempted to try this.

So I stopped at the BP C-store Subway for a sandwich combo (and topped off the tank in the car) since they are on the same building block, and on the way back from Gretch's vet.
That autumn carved turkey sub looked appetizing, but I chose a foot long roast beef with provolone on toasted wheat, spinach, onions, tomatoes and ranch dressing, baked Lays chips and a coffee.

Combo; $8
Gas; $40
Vet;.. OMG!
Office call alone is $65, add to that the booster vax,heartworm check, stool,x-ray to check the condition with her trachea yadda yadda..
Good thing I love this dog.
She's been pronounced healthy for a Dachshund her age.
I've been told to keep on loving her like I do.
Yes Doc, I will.

Today started.. well early.. did some cleaning and then had a usual tear moment.. But then after that I started doing things out of the norm, and been doing that the rest of the evening.. and oh my it feels good to be breaking out of this shell I've had myself in. Just letting go and having fun without worry is helping me feel pretty alive and I like it.

Keep that up and know you are loved by those you know and those who've never met you.

Went squirrel hunting with the pellet rifle at my brother's farm. Got a six squirrel limit...two fox, two grey and two black squirrels. Good day! Looking forward to a squirrel stew in the near future.

I just read that if you boil a banana and then drink the broth you'll sleep like a baby.
