It’s after 1 am. I fell asleep reading the news in MSN in bed. I worked on the desk today, I mean yesterday and it is looking good. New keyboard that every once in a while skips a beat. Just a little more to do plus 2 boxes and this part will be done. On the pieces that I feel are missing for taxes I have made the necessary phone calls and the duplicates should arrive sometime next week.

I did see hubby this evening. No care package this time. When I arrived his dinner was waiting and he was fast asleep. I tried to wake him, but he just fluttered his eyes. He knew I was there. The nurses came in to take his dinner and I mentioned it had not been touched. At that point, I was asked to leave and about twenty minutes later I could return. Seems they wanted to thoroughly clean the room. His roommate was walking around. All I can say, when I looked around the corner, both beds were out in the corridor. When I was able to return the room had a spring like scent. Both beds were completely redone and my hubby was sitting up and eating He ate the entire dinner including the strawberry dessert. Still no word yet on the Urology appointment. I completed the forms the end of last week, so I assume a date and time is forthcoming.

The house is starting to look pretty good. I have yet to call Spectrum because I only have the den ready. I still need to finish the MB and the Great Room. I will be taking part of tomorrow off. Gas sky rocketed in the last twenty-four hours. Over the weekend it was $3.16. Today it was close to $3.40. I have a feeling that there is some price gouging going on. Anyway, I will be filling up today at Costco. Hubby asked for their hotdog with soda. Guess I will do some shopping and will bring the insulated bag with ice pack. Temps should be in the low 70s due to the cold front.

On the way home, t he sun was beginning to set. The sun itself was a bright orange and yellow and was just beautiful. The clouds were a nice shade of lilac and purple. The hues were and are my favorite colors along with pink and mauve. No pink or mauve tonight. But I was just as happy to see the purples.

I hope you had a great evening. There was a snowfall North and it will be cold in that neck of the woods tomorrow. However, both Thursday and Friday they will have temps in the 50s, so that snowfall will soon be a memory. Of course there is another storm on the horizon. I will be watching for sure and then be thankful that we are in a sunny and a dry Florida. We do need the rain.

@Sheba,

How did you know I love that song? I do, it’s one of my favorite songs from Elton’s.
I was just looking at Facebook and saw this….

It’s how to clear the Sinus.

@shoelady60,

I did enjoy some sun today I have been a little blue with all that is happening in the
family. I think the change in the time may have turned things around for me.🌹✨

Hey Spring is only a mere week away. I can’t plant yet we have to be in late April due
to the fickle weather patterns here. I am going to do it up real nice. 😘💕
The gardens will look nice and I don’t spend a fortune since hubby and I plant our own.

I will be careful what I wish for because I just might get it and that is my flowers in bloom.
Of course that means warm weather. 😎

Enjoy your evening and good luck to your Hockey Team. ✨

@taci,

I loved Joan Rivers she kept the awards moving and very funny. 😎💕

Oz just had some sun and in the 40’s so much is going on in the world good grief.

I hate turning the Telly on especially when it comes to banks closing I know that is
a sore spot with a lot of people. I am concerned and I hope it does not come this
way.

Wishing you and hubs a nice evening. 😘✨

@xango,

Thank you for your post I don’t care what you look like or what size you are.
I like you for you. 😘💕😎🌹I am not a fake person I love people just being who
they are and to me you are a warm and caring person that is what matters to me.

Xango you have a gift for cooking and I love that you share your wonderful gift
with all of us I see there are a lot of great cooks on this thread and in the HSN Community. 💕

I would love to have a nice lunch with you with fresh bread home made by you. ✨

My neighbors are interesting we are not around each other every day but we do hang out
over the holidays. The neighbor across the street do not have children but she is so funny.
I have never seen an independent woman like that she comes and goes as she pleases.
I see she always traveling out of town and she has plenty of friends.

Xango with the passing of people in my family already this year have gotten to me.
Oz has been cold and cloudy we had a true winter season and it has not let up yet.

The sun makes me feel good not too much but just the right amount. Xango something
just pop up in my head a song and it’s for you. ✨💕 I really mean this.

Elton John
“Your Song”

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but, boy, if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. ✨✨

Sheba, it sprinkled most of the day. I walked and it was off and on. Lots of humidity. Wow, it was thick and took me back to my childhood days living on the East Coast. Great to have interesting neighbors. In CA people don’t socialize with neighbors (like in other States I have lived). We know all our neighbors but it is unusual to interact a lot, maybe that helps make for good neighbors. Anyways, you are lucky to have good ones.
Back in the day I enjoyed watching the Award type shows, you know the Joan Rivers era and her hosting and shows. She was funny and it was fun to see all the fashion.
I will stop there.
Have a great evening.

@Sheba

Hello Sheba, Sunshine always makes the day happier, I am glad Oz has it today.
So good to have interesting neighbors and friends, especially when they are professionals. I am sure you and your professor neighbor has enlighten conversations as to teach lots and you to learn from, that’s wonderful 😊. And when a person lives alone it’s always wonderful to get visitors, the professor must enjoy your company💐💐.
It’s nice to live in a block filled with good people and with different professions, it makes good neighborhood.

Covid-19 certainly has changed the World, let alone how we live.
I hope that you will be able to visit your mother this year. I am sure you can’t wait to see her and other family members.

Missing Charlie and your cousin will be with you for a while. We feel their presence and the emotions come flying in. I still miss my mom and the kitty cat that would come by during the day for a visit. This June will be two years since the kitty cat was taken away and given to someone by his owner.

Yesterday I made me some chicken stuffed in puff pastry, enough for leftovers. That will be my dinner tonight, along with polenta squares tossed in flour with dried Oregano and Italian parsley. Then sautéed in Olive oil, crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
By now with the many descriptions of the meals I make for myself you must figured out that I am not a slim person 😆😆😆.

Somehow the afternoons just fly by after the change in time. I hope you had a good day.
Take care Sheba ❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷

Winter in the ‘burgh, we had snow/ice overnight, windy and cold today.🥶 Only about a half inch but husband had to shovel because of the ice on top. Above freezing with sun tomorrow.🌞

Ran to Hallmark today, love that store. Got a card and bought me a huge bar of honey almond soap, toasted walnut pralines and cherry almond wax melts. Me and the house will be smelling lovely!😍 Getting nails done with mom and sis on Thursday💅 and I’m sure lunch after.

A few tough hockey games this week, I’ll last as long as they last.🏒 I hope you and Poppy enjoyed your sunshine walk. Sending hugs your way.🤗💖

Bad Days

We all have bad days and within these days is usually a gem of a gift waiting to be opened.

We all have days from time to time when it feels like the world is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day, whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like any other day, can be a gift. Having a bad day can show you that it is time to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted. Bad days can certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about yourself.

You may consider a bad day to be one where you’ve missing an important meeting because your car stalled, the dryer broke, and you received a piece of very bad news earlier in the morning. Multiple misfortunes that take place one after the other can leave us feeling vulnerable and intensely cognizant of our fragility. But bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on us if we let them. It is better to ask yourself what you can learn from these kinds of days. The state of your bad day may be an indicator that you need to stay in and hibernate or let go of your growing negativity.

Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of an ongoing stroke of bad luck. A bad day is memorable because it is one day among many good days – otherwise, we wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge it as a bad day. Know too, that everybody has bad days, you are not alone, the world is not against you. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a brighter day. AMEN! ✨✨
