I had a wonderful corned beef & cabbage dinner last night with Jeannie & her family. I think maybe Donald threw some Guinness into the pot and it sure was tasty. I brought some home and just had it for my lunch.
I needed to make a trip to Costco today and while there thought about buying a couple of lemon trees. They don't have many left, and the ones they have don't look all that good. Maybe with some TLC, but I don't know the first thing about tending citrus trees, so I decided to think about it some more. I should wait until I have help loading it into the back of my vehicle, and unloading it here at my house.
I stopped at Home Depot and bought a hummingbird feeder and can't wait to set it up. I once read that you should boil the water before adding the sugar and setting it out for the birds, so that's what I do. I am waiting for it to cool so I can hang it up and ring the dinner bell for the hummers. It will probably take them a couple of days or so to notice it and start visiting my place. I'd also like to get a regular bird feeder but don't feel like dealing with the squirrels that are sure to come. For some reason they make me really angry, and I don't want to be angry.
Joe, my youngest, is going to again drive me to the dentist on Thursday and pick me up afterwards. I didn't really feel anything but relaxed and mellow from the valium I took the last time, but I suppose I shouldn't drive. It's only about a mile or two from my house, the the traffic is always heavy.
Joe also offered to take me to my appointment with the surgeon on Friday, but I got a lot of papers in the mail from the Med Center yesterday, one of which advised me to be prepared to be there for 2-3 hrs. I have no idea what could take that long, but I can drive myself so I don't have to make anyone wait around for me.
On my way to Costco I thought about buying another case of Ensure; it is expensive, even at Costco prices, and I thought to myself how nice it would be if the product was on sale. I walked up to the aisle where it's located and darned if they didn't have it for $5 off a case! I love it when that happens, and it often does.
I had missed the second installment of Cosmos, but I knew they show re-runs fairly often so I looked and found it on NatGeo last night. I'm hoping to catch it again - sometimes it is easier to understand scientific facts the more often you hear them.
I guess I'll spend an hour or so working outside this afternoon. I still have windows to wash!
- My Time Hasn't Come (i Hope)
I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...
- What's Wrong With Me?
Why do I ask? I just drove to Costco and walked around the store, but left without buying anything! I must be coming down with something. I then stopped at the gym on my way home to inquire why my bill was $30 more this month. I thought...
- I'm Still Jet Lagged
I hope I get back to normal soon because I feel like my brain is somewhere else! I woke up at around 5 a.m. and was surprised to see all the light coming through my bedroom window, which faces south. There were a number of very bright...
- Conserving Water
I keep hearing that to conserve water one should limit their showers to 5 minutes. I had no idea how long I take, so I brought my kitchen timer along with me and set it to 5 minutes. I even washed my hair - something I do about every other...
- Good And Bad Days
It seems that a good day is usually followed by a not-so-good day, and yesterday was one of those bad days. I had an early appointment to get my hair cut and didn't have the time or appetite to eat much breakfast. Donald dropped me off...
