How is your day Today, plans and achievements 2024....

I feel for you guys with the colonscopy..*ugh*...

I had to have one ( the third I've had in my life)... in winter 2021... almost exactly 3 years ago... I couldn't have a sedation because it was one month after the O/H had gone, and there was nobody who could fetch me from the hospital after the procedure, so it was horribly painful without some sedation....I will never go through that again.. voluntarily...

Oh always give beer money if people do anything extra for me.... (y)

Meant to say gigi..I;ve ordered the new Back Brace.. it's arriving tomorrow, just in time for more moving stuff...

I just think this is where online shopping comes into it's own...in instances like this brace..I would probably have had to spend a whole day tracking down a high street store that might have the one I would want.. and that would be also without knowing the reviews... so with items like these, I'm very happy internet shopping is available...

It rained pitchforks and hammer handles here all day yesterday and into the night. It's gone now and way too warm for mid-November. 64 right now but a high temp of only 70 today. Tonight? Eeeek! Into the mid-30s and laundry day isn't until tomorrow so my Ladies Loungewear (with pockets) won't be available until tomorrow night.

I want a medal🥇because I really did scrub the kitchen and bathroom floors yesterday. On my hands and knees. And included the baseboards. That means I'm gonna sit around on my dead center today, after DD takes me to the credit union so I can "buy" some cash.

@hollydolly I wish you'd get yourself a back brace to wear when you're doing the lifting/stretching/carrying chores. It could help a whole lot and certainly wouldn't hurt.

Your rain was here today. I made Branded Cranberries and my house smelled divine!
Aldis had some loungewear, with pockets, last time I was there but it was like thermal material? Is yours? I pictured fleece.

45F here and cloudy right now. Blessed rain forecast for overnight / tomorrow! Seriously need the rain.

Nothing going on today worth mentioning yet, except I'm wishing you all a wonderful day.

Seems to be a body maintenance week for me.

Got my hair cut Monday - first time since APRIL. She'd cut it way too short back then, and put in so much low light color that I washed it about ten times with Dawn dish soap the next day to strip some out.

This time, I've got barely-there low lights and a longer cut. It's almost to my shoulders when wet but shrinks about 1-1/2" as the curls dry. I'm much happier, and it will work better for her in the long run because I won't be going 7 months between visits.

Also checked a mammogram off my list on Monday. Next up is a colonoscopy because of strong family health history - had my sibling not had rectal cancer plus a parent and another sibling had pre-cancerous polyps, I'd be past the age for this screening.

I can deal with drinking the goop, pooping my brains out, and the test itself. What puts me over the top: nothing except clear liquids and Jello for 36 hours before the test. And none of those liquids or Jello can be blue, purple or red.

I would love to let my hair dry naturally and wave but I haven't found the exact right product to get nice wave without frizz. And if I do, as I age, it's harder to keep it more than one day.
Good luck Monday. It's such a relief to get that over with!

Still having a busy week. Yesterday I visited the Vampire for my annual blood draw/check up. I also had my first Bone Density Test. It was fine, sort of. The tech twisted my leg to put it in position, and hurt my bad knee. She didn't do anything wrong, it's just the my knee doesn't move like other peoples do. Had I known what was up, I would have told her that my knee is damaged. She was really nice....sweet and professional....she just didn't know, and I didn't know to tell her. Anyway, she didn't hurt it bad, just enough to be annoyed for most of the day. It was fine by the time

wanted his walk.

Today I am on a clear liquid diet, and this evening I "get to" chug down the Golytely.

Fun times!

I don't expect to be here tomorrow.....it's colonoscopy day! 🙄



@StarSong we're colonoscopy sisters!
I'm having my tea right now, watching Dio eat! 🙃

For me, the worst part is drinking the Golytely! Yuck!!! 😝

Oh! Good luck to you too Trila! Sorry about your knee.
 
I was a busy bee in the middle of the night. I Swiffered the floors, got the garbage ready for my son. After I showered and washed my hair, I made my two prayers then decided to trim my hair. In the early afternoon, I loaded and ran the dishwasher, sorted laundry and went downstairs to wash. There was no one else down there...just like I like it. Since I've decided to stop going down in the middle of the night, Wednesday afternoons just might be the ticket. I made three trips up and down these stairs because I took a few garments to hold the machine. Didn't want to drag the entire bag down in case the machine I always use was occupied.

By the time I finished washing and lugging the clothes, I was tired so I had a snack and relaxed. I waited a couple of hours before drying the clothes. I tried to change the knee high. which acts as a external lint catcher behind the machine. I got the old one off but couldn't reach the duct to put the new one on because of where it's positioned at the bottom of the dryer. My son will have to do it before my next wash. I'm tired and sleepy now, but I have to eat the little bit of ice cream that's left before I go to sleep. :)

I shampoo my hair weekly, at most. Usually just put some Dove conditioner in it and rinse while showering, then lightly towel dry it. I rub rub a small amount of Caviar Creme or similar leave-in conditioner in it to keep it from frizzing, blow dry the bangs for about 30 seconds and let the rest dry naturally.
