✨✨ How Was Your Day? ✨✨

[November]

Back to not good. Im not going to do the biopsy things that the doctor wants. Its just put me in a panic. I know I can push through and do these tests, because I have before, but I also know what a mess I am after these things and I just cant manage that again. Especially in summer. I barely get through the days as it is, I cant add any more to it all. It just doesnt make sense to me why they wont just cut the whole thing out rather than muck around with little cuts first. Stupid. And the rest of the tests for my legs are just so we can even get access to more tests, like the doc cant get medicare to approve the MRI's without first proving its autoimmune. I just want a cream or something to dull the pain, I cant jump through all the hoops anymore. Literally or figuratively lol

Its going to be ridiculously hot today. I have been up since 5am to walk the dogs but I cant even manage to water the whole garden today. At least it is retic day so some of the garden gets a spray. I hope not too much gets fried.

It had to happen sooner or later. Last night at the dance at the Capitol, one gentleman collapsed with a heart attack and the paramedics worked on him for over an hour at the venue. Then the dance was cancelled and the police were called to keep people off the dance floor and they allowed people into the room two at a time to get their belongings. He lived, but he is in intensive care today. It seems most of the dancers at the Capitol are seniors and this is the most exercise they get during the week, so something like this could have been expected. Some of my friends knew him and there were rumours that he had died, which upset them, but he is still in this plane of existence as of today.

This happened right at the beginning of the dance, so I hadn't put on my dance shoes and had gone to the washroom and then got the food (it is a dinner dance) and we never got in even one dance. Some of the dancers got in one cha-cha dance but neither my girlfriend nor I like cha-cha, so we never even made it to the floor. There were about 130 people at the venue. Most of us are old, so this can be expected on an irregular basis.

Old School Disney princess today. One of the silvereye birds was stuck in the orchid. I lifted the net to let it out and the silly thing landed on me. I was wearing a floral dress, but I am not a flower! It stuck to me while I walked over to the hedge and told it to hop off. Silly little thing. I have dozens of them in my grape vine right now. There are certainly enough grapes to share.

I have been offered two dogs. One from the family of the neighbour who died, and another from the cafe owner, asking if I wanted a puppy. Why didnt the ask me 5 years ago! I have my fill of dogs. No more thankyou. Two is a perfect number. Town is decorated for australia day, its started to become one of those small towns that runs on the flow of holidays.

The water lily that I was worried about is starting to spout a new leaf today, so I am relived. I thought I had killed that one. The others are all going well. But that one is in a bigger pot and just doesnt seem to like being so close to the surface. Im not going to mess with it anymore until it has recovered. The pond is still murky but I read that goldfish love murky water best. The do seem to be thriving. The water tests fine, its just not crystal clear. But if the fish and plants are happy, then that is all I care about.

I had a great day. I did the acoustic sing along with some of my bandmates at our local Senior Center. Great crowd. 🎸 I believe we had more folks there today then we've ever had.

My dad needs cataract surgery, but it's been hard convincing him to get an appointment. He finally agreed, so I can get that process in motion. He's 91, but still in good health for his age, so I've hated to see his quality of life declining due to his vision issues.

My car insurance company sent me a device to plug in to monitor my driving in hopes of a lower price. It stopped working around a week ago, but fortunately I got it working again. It's been a trial, but I think I'm a pretty good driver, so I hope they will agree! And after the trouble I've had with it, it had better be worth it.

Im trying to help my neighbour with internet banking and its a nightmare. Poor guy is completely computer illiterate. But the lady on the phone is convinced that I am trying to scam him so wont talk to me. Now they say they cant even update his phone number for the security pin to move his own money. They shut down the branch closest to us and have told him to go 400kms, one way, to the nearest branch. He says hes going to shut the account and move to another bank, but they wont do that unless he goes into the bank in person. I have set up his online banking now, but without his updated phone number (he had to get a new phone when they shut down 3G) we cant transfer any money anywhere. He said never in his life would he image the world to end up like this, where basics like this are so hard to do.

I have been sorting grapes the last few days, with so many more to do! I still have so many I havent picked and really must pick soon or lose. I mean, I do have enough but it seems such a waste to let them rot on the vine. Even the birds cant eat enough!

Took my dogs for one walk together because its hot and they wont get one otherwise. Got rushed by two stray dogs. I felt bad cos i SCREAMED at these dogs to get back. Right out the front of the kiwis place, who had a big night and a new baby. The strays stopped in their tracks and my girls walked on. The strays stood out the front of the kiwis house barking their heads off as I got away. Poor kiwis.

I barely slept. Heat usually affects me like this. I feel horrific. I even put the air con back on in the night! Im so happy my dogs were so well behaved and while it wasnt a long walk, it was better than nothing. Then I came home and swear I heard that snake in the leaves on the patio again. Its hanging around. I cant deal with it today so will try to keep the dogs inside. The ranger apparently catches snakes but he'll never find it under those leaves.

Expecting my neighbour to drop in soon to try and sort this bank out. You'd think they have a duty of care to their long term elderly rural customers. Does not seem so.

Not a good day on the Latin dance circuit. The man who collapsed on the dance floor at the Capitol a couple of weeks ago died last night. He had been an instructor in line dancing before and a lot of people knew him. The Capitol does not restrict itself to Latin dance, it has line dancing and regular rock music as well, so a lot of people like the variety there. He was about 80 years old, so he lived a full life and maybe spending his last conscious minutes on the dance floor was what he would have wanted, but he was a popular person and a lot of us are upset about it.

My day so far has been ok, very lazy day. Now waiting for Abbs to come home from work! Which is a mind bender to say .. lol
Should be doing stuff but well, I'll do it later, maybe. God I need housekeeping fairies!

Normally I try NOT to drive in the rain, but I needed KFC. Got four pieces of chicken (original recipe) two biscuits, and a large container of mashed potatoes. Then I went to Ralph's and got two pieces of strawberry shortcake. 🐷

I took a chance that my truck would break down in the rain, but I was a woman on a mission. The truck was smoking like hell, and the cars behind me looked alarmed. Maybe they thought it was going to blow up...?

Walkies all done. Garden watered. Lamb roast in the oven. Good day, but its only 9am

Went out to see the horses at midday. That horse they are trying to give me/I want was there and shes so cute and lovely and likes me 🙁 But we were chatting and it is just too risky finacially. I need to win big on lotto, buy my own land and then I can have her and more. Lotto would solve my life. Then I could delete tinder forever. First, I need enough spare change to play lotto.

Got the KFC famous bowl and a large container of mashed potatoes with gravy. And on impulse, I went to Ross because I wanted a new top. Long story short, I bought this multi colour thing with kittens on it. Didn't try it on until I got home...and I looked like a demented clown on acid. Yeah, that's going back tomorrow!

Went to the zoo today, which was quiet either because of the colder weather or because people were home watching some football game😉. I love it like that, because the animals won't hide from the noise. Some had little melting snowmen from our recent snow. Fortunately, we didn't get enough to shut down the city.

I'm definitely buying a lotto ticket today. I always thought I'd buy a rustic house in Topanga canyon, but not after the fires here.

I now want a country house in Berkshire, surrounded by a lot of land. Nothing too posh, of course. Hmmm...strike that! I want a grand home with a few servants. Definitely a house maid, a cook, a driver, and a dresser. In all honesty, I am a bit of a snob. 😄

I LOVE my house now, it just need a few more acres! Doesnt matter if its a dust bowl, as long as its got water, I can build it up from there. I keep wondering if the shire will sell off the old motorcross track - that would actually be perfect cos then I could keep my house and just have horses a few kilometres up the road. I like living on a grocery delivery route!

Its annoying because I got offered dodgy dusty paddocks to rent cheap for this horse, they are really, really trying to get me involved in their horse group, but I know from experience as soon as I spend money to improve on the dangerous fencing and set up, I'll get booted. So I am really not keen to work on a horse property that I dont own again.

I actually love my place as well...itst the neighbours are always snooping and complaining. Especially my sister who lives next door! She's like a human spy satellite.

Ever since I was thrown from a horse when I was younger, I've avoided them. But you know, I'm older now and would be willing to try riding again. Perhaps three horses? Of course, I wouldn't be mucking out the stalls! Which means I'd have to hire more servants staff. 😁

That's it. I absolutely MUST win the lottery.

, I wouldn't be mucking out the stalls

Oh I love mucking out. Its my happy place. Its so meditative to me, having a clean stall and neat paddock. Of course my house is a pig sty, but having nice clean yards was so fulfilling to me. I miss that feeling.

When I am gardening my mind gets so grumpy, but when Im out poo picking or shit kicking, its clear and I appreciate every moment that I get near the ponies. Duno why, dont care why, just know it helps me a lot in mind and body. I cant believe I used to haul 20 bales of hay in a day. Today I could barely carry a biscuit, so weak.

Yes a lotto win for ponies is the way to go! But I still haven't brought a ticket.

Hmmm. It's possible that I could learn to enjoy mucking out. Cleaning definitely relaxes me. Of course, I'd have to win the lottery, find a proper house in Berkshire, hire staff, buy horses, and all that. Imagine me in my Wellies, mucking out a stall! 😄 Perhaps I'd also take up falconry....now THAT sounds amazing.
