    Good morning ladies!

    I used to read when I got bored. Now I play solitaire or practice my languages. Now I get bored when I'm waiting for things like time to cook dinner or time to eat lunch.

    My new tires are being put on my car today. Yay! They may feel stiff at first, but they will be much safer. So my main task now is to wait for a phone call when that is done.

    Not much else going on, and it's too early for lunch. I could play solitaire lol! I should really change clothes and go do yoga and walking. Or a little of both.

    Between the time I arrive home from work and when my husband serves dinner I like to do non-computer things like weeding the garden, colouring or more recently, walking the cat.

    Walking the cat involves a lot of standing in the dark while he sits near a gate waiting for a glimpse of a neighbour cat.

    It could look like a boring thing to do but I like it. It's a relief to just stand in the dark and quiet outside. It also gives me some time to think.

    Lisa, It is so good to see you feeling well. <3

    Thank you, dear heart. Pain and weakness are such a thief of joy! I did not know how unwell I was until I started feeling well again. I am so grateful to you and the others who reached back when I cried, and held me up, and this entire group. I am truly blessed to have you in my life.

    Walmart done - had hoped to get my hair cut as it's driving me around the bend, but it didn't work out. Back home in the AC. Went straight from having the heat on to having the air conditioning on. Ah well, there are worse things. At least I don't have to wear a baseball cap in the house - Egg doesn't care how my hair looks. :smiley: Well, if she does, she doesn't say anything...

    Later y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Vicki - So glad you are having time away. <3 So good for us!

    Kinda in a lull before my brother's party tomorrow. My son is picking me up at 17.00 and then a drive of around 105 mins to get there. Then a short walk. I've more or less decided on my 'colourful ' outfit. I want to be comfortable in the car, and walking, so nothing fancy. I've told my son to bring a backup gluten free snack as the food is only nibbles.
    The weather forecast is for heavy rain on the drive home! :o I will sit in the back . I've downloaded tv on my phone if needed for my nerves.
    Will, spend tomorrow bathing and titivating, as DH is lunching with his younger daughter. Local Thai. I would have gone, but I can’t do two hard socialisings in one day! >:) I have promised Edie I will copy some photos of my Amazon adventure in 2001 for her school project. Certainly brings back memories!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Beth - I'm so sorry your nephew has ulcerative colitis, but am glad they caught it. In all reality, the first time I had similar symptoms was at age 23, just having gotten out of the Air Force. Every few years, the symptoms would flare up, but I went to the doc only for that first one, and he said it was a fissure. He also said no treatment was available, don't lift anything heavy, and let time take its course. The current flare has lasted for more than two years now, but I would estimate probably 20 flares over the last forty years, lasting a few weeks up to six or eight weeks, and then subsiding. However, the biologicals, like Humira, hadn't even been invented yet in 1984! Holy crap on a cracker that makes me feel old.

    RVRita - Enjoy your brother's company! Hope you get to spend a lot of time with him.

    Vicki - I thought I was the only who did cleaning that way! TMI, I'm sure, but I've been known to clean naked, and as soon as I finish, I jump in the shower and get myself clean. Enjoy your DH's company - I'm sure y'all can use the break.

    Debbie - I'm so sorry there was so much drama for your mother's day. Hope all the upset has begun to calm down.

    Annie - Well done on the loss and the movement!

    Thunderstorms soon, the radar is showing them headed our way... the first heavy rumbles just began. Time to curl up with a book.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Sue from Missouri, your upper patio looks very inviting! I am a wee bit jealous! Lol! I wish we had a pad of some kind, but its just all dirt. We rent, so not really anything I want to spend money on. I will appreciate all your patios throughout the summer!

    :) We had an emotional day. First we dealt with the dishwasher technician with a satisfactory but expensive outcome. Then after a long wait on the phone, and a drive to the cable store to return the cable boxes we successfully disconnected from cable TV and will save ourselves a bunch of money. There is a lot on cable TV we like but the cost was too much so we'll satisfy our watching needs with the streaming services we have.

    :s No yard work today, the rain seemed to come at the times I could get outside.

    We don't have cable or Netflix or any such thing.

    Just the standard dozen or so channels and a collection of second hand DVDs I've picked up for $1 or $2 over the years.

    my dh throws a fit if the cable is out for any amount of time at all. Has to have regular cable and Netflix, HBO, Disney, etc. We spend so much money on cable and internet(has to be the fastest). He even has service hooked up in the garage(different from the house). The tv comes on as soon as he gets up, except when he is going to work at 2am, thankfully he doesn't turn it on when he is getting ready) and he falls asleep with it on. There are tv's in five rooms in the house and one in the garage.(only a four bedroom house. Only rooms that don't have one are the bathrooms(he takes his phone in with him there) and my sewing room.

    We went to our municipal museum this morning to see an exhibition about the estate where we visited the walled garden on Wednesday. I think DH was intending us to have coffee in the cafe, but I made us coffee before we went as we had already had ☕️ + 🍰 out twice this week. Went for a walk in the grounds of Town Hall (Bangor Castle) which used to be a stately home.
