To-day is Saturday, March 7th--Rain is falling--and it is looking cold outside-Lopez and Sushi and I are up--Of course, the washer is chugging away here-I had trouble getting on the computer this AM --It seemed to be working hard at upgrading, and I had to wait until it finished whatever it was doing. Too bad I am not very computer literate---
So, I shall return--and--I see the rain has stopped-- Good --I can get little Lopez out--Prolonged bad weather can negatively affect even the happiest person----and we must move forward , not backward.
I have the pharmacy sort out my pills--in a paper pill pack--and as I am trying to tear the back of the pack open-- morning and night-- the pills fall out--all over the kitchen floor and I spend the next hour on my knees looking for them and trying to get them in a dish ready to take--some morning--some night--With Thyroid meds , they should not be taken with food so it is important that you take some of them after dinner. Anyway it takes me forever to get them ready. I used to watch Fred doing that, and now here I am-- A paper pill pack is not good-- rips open--and there I am, on the floor again!
I’ve always wondered….how do you have laundry daily if you live alone? My husband and I are empty nesters but have a max of 3 small loads a week so I was just curious.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL--Well--=I never wear the same thing everyday--LOL-- plus my washer is in my kitchen--LOL--eazy to use--convenient!--(Maybe I just wash too much!!--LOL
DeleteRain and fog outside here-- We need sun!!-Lynda
DeleteComputers, smart TVs phones, tablets etc. are a huge challenge for me. You seem to do 👍 hang in. Have a great day.

Well the computer is easy--the phone not too bad--but-- if stuff changes, I get all messed up too--Lynda
DeleteVery foggy here thIs AM-=-Hard to see when I drove to the Pharmacy
DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteIt's 27F here now, but it's going to reach the low 30's...and tomorrow 62F! That's spring. We never know what to expect.
Love seeing the photos...seeing how the babies grow up. The parents seem older, too.
At my doctor appointment yesterday I was told my A1C and BP are both up a bit. I had an x-ray that showed I have a large bone spur on my left shoulder. That's what is causing the pain. I have to look up what causes that.
I need to take my friend, John, shopping today. He needs some dressier clothes. His 105 y/o mother is expected to pass within a couple days.
I am bound to get some laundry done. It seems you wash clothes every day!
Those pills spilling all over is a real challenge. I drop them often, too, but only 1 or 2 at a time.
Today is my ex-husband's birthday. If he wasn't over 7 hours away, I would make him his old favorite poppy seed cake.
Better get going here and see when John wants to leave. I will be back. Have a happy day...we can do it! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Maggie Yu are so good to help others--so sorry about that bone spur--must hurt a lot--LoPeZ AND I DROVE TO THE PHARMACY TO GET MY PILL PaCK__I MUST LOOK FOR A PLASTIC ONE__thE papER ONE KEEPS OPENING UP__+LynDA
Deleteand we have thick fog here-=-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Severe storms in Ohio today. They make me nervous. My husband thinks it’s crazy. Lol I have a granddaughter Ava and today is her birthday. She is 8. She is so much fun! She will come here next week for a party. They live an hour and 45 minutes away and the weather will be bad today. I hope you have a super Saturday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank yu--I hope your day goes well--No--I hate storms of all kinds also--I love Avas---LOL--They are sweet children!-So foggy here this am--Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, did you remember that this weekend is clock changing time? It's good that you have less clocks to deal with. At least rain will take care of any remaining snow and you don't need to clear snow off of your car. I hope that your weekend goes well. You haven't mentioned Dave lately. Do the two of you still go out for a meal. He seems to be good company for you.
ReplyDeleteMaureen from California
Yes Dave and I went out for dinner last night--only to Tim Hortons but its not about the food--Its about the "company"--LOL Lynda-
DeleteAnd the clocks--Yes!-Thank yu--Lynda
DeleteI did not read your blog from yesterday until today. It was the 7th anniversary of my husband's death yesterday and I went to mass which was being said for him. My oldest granddaughter went with me and then we went out to breakfast with some ladies who are in my prayer group. My granddaughter is such a joy, So loving and caring. I kind of broke down in church and I don't know why. It was 7 years ago that he died - and the years seem to have whipped by....seems like yesterday. I wonder if the grief ever goes away or at least doesn't seem as heavy? I have so many things in my life to be thankful for, so why do I still long for the past? I must get busy and not mope around.....my 2 roommates (my cats) need some attention! I am thankful I have them!
ReplyDeleteOh Sandra--I reAlly understand--so nice that your Granddaughter went with you--That helps --My 2 room mates are helping me also--the dog and cat--but--it still is lonely-- Lynda
DeleteFoggy here--raining--cool-- Lynda
DeleteMorning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThere is rain here as well and it's pretty warm out. It's mid 60's F and expected to hit low 70's. Feels like Spring. Although, I still don't think we are finished with winter weather yet.
Not sure if you have tried maybe using scissors to cut the packs open, that way they don't fly everywhere when you rip it open. Then you can just poor them into a small bowl. I do that with most things like that such a chip bags, food bags, etc. for that very reason. I don't want to be cleaning up a mess.
I hope you have a good day whatever you do!
Hugs,
Jackie

ReplyDeleteI so love the photos of your family it shows how much fun they have and the time that they get to spend together the pride and love that you have for them is amazing

It's Kathy. We woke up to snow on the ground and a much colder day. But they tell us that it will warm up tomorrow. If it does, the snow will be gone. We're on our way shortly to watch our Grandson compete in his Archery Tournament. But I didn't sleep very well last night and really would rather not go, but I know these moments will be gone soon. Yesterday my middle daughter called and after 20 years in Roanoke VA, they will be moving to Oklahoma. I really loved visiting them in Roanoke, such a lovely town. But change happens every day and we must be okay with it! Have a wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lynda. I saw some sun when I first got up, but by the time I got the dog out it had gone away and was very very blustery out. We have 74 degrees here in Central Ohio, t-storms coming, they say. We've had above normal temps most of the week, with rain. We typically get a lot of rain in March, par for the course. The grass is greening up and I hear the birds singing, so spring is definitely here and/or on its way.
ReplyDeleteDST is my favorite day of the year, can't wait to turn those clocks forward!
You try to have a good day! Do something you love to do! :)

Have you tried cutting the pill packs open with scissors instead of tearing them? I'd sit at the table & do it so maybe they won't spill.
ReplyDeleteToday is my birthday, 61. Sure wish I could retire lol!
