Your Daily Activity

Since the last thread was so long thought it would be best to create a new one.

My main activity for today is trying to learn how to right and left click without a mouse and also how to copy and paste. Uncertain how on a lap top.

Right Click to copy or paste, unless those options are not on your right click options. If they aren't, they can be added.

Rained all night, the day I left. The weather, it was dry... Sun so hot, I froze to death. Susanna, don't you cry. Remember that?
Anyway... Rained all night here. Still raining a light rain. Took Chipper out in it. He didn't mind.
Today, after I get a shower and put my stockings on, I'll be going out to my Mom's, repair the side table by her power chair, and see how she's settling in now.

AHA, I'm here at last.
A load of laundry.
Got a few signers for the petition to limit Witless's
overreaching power. I still have more to get. A nice
neighbor is getting some too.
WE had RAIN galore. WE have 55 gallon plastic containers
in which we collect rain water. They're a few years old. As
I walked out back this morning, I was surprised to see chunks
of white plastic and the side of the barrel blown out.
Must have been a weak spot and all the rain just broke it.

I'm Home Again! Been at my Mom's all day. Still getting her settled in.
The Visiting Angels who were going to help my Mom can't find help in our area. People don't want to go to work and lose that extra $600 a week they're getting on unemployment. I wish I could get that! $2400 a month would pay off my car in 3 months.

Dawn has a busy day planned for me today- bank,post office, grocery store, ,gas station,dollar general, another gas station, family farm and home, family dollar, attorney, ............

LFF, we did get an extra $1,200.00.
Not bad when we are retired.
Some people don't have a job to return to.

I set out a row of tiny Kale plants, covered them with very fine material
to keep Cabbage moths out. Picked enough Kale to freeze a small bag.
Set out a tomato sucker which I accidentally cut off a plant. I tried to
grow roots on it, usually works, not this time. The sucker already had
small tomatoes on it, so I just couldn't toss it out. I dug a deep hole,
set it in with egg shells and rich soil, watered and I'm hopeful.
Resting after visiting my doggie. He almost caught a Squirrel.

Good point, Joyous, but everybody got the 1200, and only those on unemployment have received the $8400 over the last 14 weeks. Oh, what I could have done with $8400.
Took Dawn to the bank this morning, to the party store, then to Village Inn for lunch, then to Village Market for some groceries, to Family Dollar for a few things, and stopped at Sweet Temptations for soft serve ice cream before we came home.

LFF, I get the point. However, many people earn minimum wage
and barely exist if they live alone. I think President Trump intended
that the extra money would be spent and keep the economy going.

I just listened to Alan Dershowitz debating Robert Kennedy Jr. regarding
the COVID vaccine, whether or not it should be mandatory. Kennedy
proved my point against the vaccine. He told truths beyond the current
vaccine.

Had a thought. Since unemployment, without the $600 was 60% of peoples former wages, and people were only making say $400 a week before, that would mean 240 a week without the Federal help, ... Oh. thinking about it gives me a headache!

Today is primary voting day. I already voted by absentee ballot.
Will be taking Dawn to a doctor's appointment today, a meeting, another apartment complex, grocery shopping.....

Cool here this morning.  Felt good when I took Chipper out at 5 this morning.  Will be leaving in about 4 hours to go to Douglas (45 minutes travel time), pick up my Mom, take her to the cancer center in Holland (30 minutes travel time), wait for her labs and results, talk with the nurse about the results and possible changes in her meds, then bring her home, visit a bit, and go home again.

Nice in MO also......I worked outside cleaning the little high rise garden and then planted a few seeds for the fall.....lettuce, spinach, radishes and beets. Now hoping for good rain the next few weeks.

My Mom's labs looked good. The Physician's Assistant was pleased, and also happy to hear my Mom was home. I'll be going over to my Mom's again tomorrow.

1st: Glad, all I have for the Fall garden so far is some kale seedlings .
I have spinach seed for planting and hopefully lettuce seed.

2nd: LFF, looking at apartments? Is this for Dawn or for you and Dawn?
I'm not being nosey (Only a smidgen) just wonder if you're moving.

My activity today. Kroger, bank, B/P to fill gas tank. Saw my doggie friend.
Did I mention that he refused to eat yesterday, acted less playful, had me
near tears. When I went today, he still refused to eat from my hand, but
he played and raced after a squirrel. I realize it would break my heart if we lost him.

It sounds as if your mom is happy to be home again, LFF.

Dawn's looking for an apartment for her.
As for Little Chuckie not eating, that's not unusual for dogs.  Chipper will often turn up his nose at his burger.  I've had to put some cheese on it, some sausage, some egg, and tonight, I had to put a little beef stew on it.  
Now I've ordered some flavored powder called 'Shake it Pup'.

Hope Chuckie eats today. Show him how good it is by offering him a piece, and if he turns his nose up at it, saying "I'll Eat it.", and put the piece in your own mouth and eat it.
Today, I'll be going to my Mom's. My Sister and I will be doing some trimming and weeding. I think Dawn may come along, and visit with my Mom.

Hey everyone!

Hi there Glad! Great to see you!
Went out to my Mom's today. Took Dawn and Chipper. Dawn visited with my Mom, while my Sister and I did yard work for my Mom. Then visited with my Mom before Dawn, Chipper, and I went home, stopping at Subway for supper. Had a Terriyaki Chicken foot long sub for supper, with extra meat, lettuce, pickles, and onions, with sweet onion sauce. Chipper loved the chicken!

The sandwich sounds delicious LFF.

A friend gave me a wireless mouse but warned me she had trouble with it wanting to go all over a page.....I am learning it but may go and get one of my own since I too have the same problem. It is better than the key pad though.

You can probably go into the mouse settings and adjust the sensitivity of the mouse.
Can't stick around. Will be leaving in an hour to take Dawn to her treatment in Brighton. Have a good day all!

adjust to what sensitivity?

GladEOlah wrote:adjust to what sensitivity?

Go to your controls, select mouse, and adjust the sensitivity to your touch.

I tried that......not working right.....might be something wrong with the mouse

Does the mouse have a ball and socket, or an infra red light?

? Where have I been? I seem to have checked out for a long time!

LFF, I'm thankful your mom is home and content. Will you miss having
Dawn there?

Glad, if possible, splurge on a wired mouse. You deserve it.

Little Chuckie began eating again. He made his grama happy.
He just wasn't himself, not cheerful, now he is full of steam again.
This late afternoon, my daughter, gr.daughter and their dog, Opie,
and I went for a lonnng walk in a Metro Park. We were very close to rabbits,
watched lots and lots of Monarch butterflies, a couple of Swallowtail butterflies,
and several deer. I bought us each one of those things you wet, squeeze out and wear on
your neck, in my case on my neck and head too. They keep you comfortable even in
real hot, humid weather.
I suspect I will sleep like a baby tonight.

I'd just buy a wired mouse, Glad- about 12 bucks.
Hi Joyous. You've been here, but you've been busy elsewhere too, from the sounds of it.
I took Dawn to Brighton again today. was gone almost 7 hours. Very tired. Going to sleep now.

Will be taking Dawn to a noon meeting today. Will take Chipper along, and probably go for a walk along the river. Then take a nap in the car, while we wait for Dawn, as she'll probably go to lunch with the girls.

Sounds like a great plan LFF
Today is a lazy one for me...….I plan to make cook cabbage with sausage and as a side dish mac and cheese. Very simple and also tasty and filling.

Lazy day here too. Although I will visit my granddoggie.

LFF, you're a very patient man.

Glad, your cabbage sounds good. We also had cabbage,
cooked with onions, garlic, tomatoes, rice added . Fresh
tomatoes from the garden and squash and zucchini slices
coated and browned. Coffee at noon.

sounds good Joyous......I will have to try cabbage with tomato and rice.....instructions please

After I took Dawn to a meeting, Chipper and I took a walk along the river. Then, we went back and waited while Dawn's meeting got finished, and then they went out for lunch. After that, we stopped by Family Dollar, then went to Speedway for petrol, and a fountain Diet Dew. Finally, we went to Little Caesars and picked up a pizza for supper.

Glad, I will ask Ray because he made it.
I added hot sauce to mine because I like
a little spicy.
Chopped cabbage, thinly sliced onion, garlic,
seasoned as you prefer, (salt, pepper, etc)
a can of tomato sauce, a can of tomatoes
(diced or crushed or stewed) some salsa
to your taste. We add our rice just before
eating , I like Brown rice, Ray likes white.
Glad, you can experiment/mess around till you
get it like you prefer.

I did visit my favorite doggie.

Chuckie's so thin!

I should go see my Mom today, but I don't feel like it. I'm tired, sore, my knee is really giving me a lot of trouble today....I'm getting old!

I know the feeling LFF.

That makes three pf us. I not only feel old, I am old.
LFF, Chuckie actually is a healthy weight.
He is the type of dog who is super active, thus keeping trim.

I did two loads of laundry, picked and froze two quarts of beans.
This afternoon I spent with my second son and his family. His
60th birthday celebration.
60 years ago this morning I baked cookies. I had promised the
two children I already had, so getting up with contractions, I
promptly baked cookies before going to hospital.

Forgot to take my nighttime pills last night. Chipper had me up at 5 this morning.
Will do Dawn's pills today, probably take Chipper for a walk, but have no big plans other than that.

sometimes I forget also LFF

Forget what? I can't remember. I have CRS disease.

CRS ?

Yesterday was miserable. Today is beyond miserable.
Almost unbearable. I only had Little Chuckie out for
about 10 minutes. WE visited inside.
I haven't actually done much at all.

CRS= Can't Remember.... Stuff
Weather tells us we have strong winds, lightning, and heavy rains headed our way tonight!
Went out to my Mom's today. Brought her 2 cases of Boost Nutritional Drink, and another 2 cases to my Brother-in-Law.
Took Chipper to the Boardwalk today. Brought a bag of pop cans to the 'pop can guy', who digs pop cans out of the trash receptacles on the riverfront. Will bring another tomorrow or Wednesday. Talked to the 'pop can guy' today. His name is Harold. He's 50, out of work, married, and his wife and he are having problems.

Knee's hurtin again this morning. This weather sure doesn't help. Should take Chipper for a walk today, but I can imagine how this weather is affecting his arthritis too. Right now, I think a nap is in order.....

Miserable here too.


To Joyous...….I am trying to find out where the earthquake was on Sunday in the Carolinas. Did you find out?

Sorry about your knee LFF. Knock on wood but today so far I have no pain.

Pain or no pain, I had to to take Chipper for a walk. I think he liked it. When I got tired today, he wanted to keep going.

Guess no walk for Chipper today. We went out for breakfast at Village Inn this morning. Bought breakfast for the three people in the next open booth. Will have to stop doing that when Dawn moves out.
Went to Village Market for a money order for Dawn's apartment application fee, and Dawn picked up a few other things. Came home, and I plan on staying in now.

The LORD bless both of you, LFF and Glad, oh and Harold.

The humidity seems to have lifted a bit
Today so far I have watered a bit of tomatoes and kale/
Went to ALDI, bought wet-wipes / Baby-wipes.
They come in handy instead of grabbing a washcloth.
Glad, the quake was in Sparta, N/C.
It was felt as a tremor in parts of S.C. In the upper part of the state.

I have collected and mailed one petition to reduce the Lock-down
power of the Gov. I have two signers on my second one and will
get at least three more this evening. I'm strongly considering getting
the petitions for Recalling Whitmer. We simply cannot expect President Trump
to carry this entire load alone. It is amazing what he is doing under such pressure.

You may not want to listen.
My brain at first rejected it, but I believe it's true.
