Neighbor T didn't call me, yesterday, for our usual Sunday morning chat and she didn't call me in the morning, today. So, I called her in the afternoon to check on her. She said she's fine, but her daughter came over, yesterday, and she lost track of the time, today.
Friend R called in the evening to ask if we are still going to see the movie, tomorrow. I said yes; I hope I will feel better by tomorrow. If not, I'll call her and let her know.
I spent a little time decluttering my emails, from my laptop, today. I've been saving some emails for longer than I need to, "just in case", but, I figured I could delete them, now. I also deleted a few things like old voicemails and text threads from my phone. My phone has not been sending any of my recent photos to the computer, so, I wondered if that was because I had too many things stored on the phone. At first, it didn't seem to work and I wondered if I needed a new phone. I checked to see when I bought my current phone (a go-phone, whatever that means - according to my daughter, it is a cheaper version of a smart phone; I think she paid $40 for it, plus tax), on January 16, 2016. But, then, I deleted the thread with all the texts between my daughter and I and, suddenly, my phone sent me all the photos that didn't get sent earlier! LOL. A good reminder to delete our daily texts on a more frequent basis!
This is a drawing my daughter did in her planner for the days following Christmas, when she was feeling ill:

And this is the drawing for the first three days after she returned to Berkeley - she had taken the day off on Jan. 6, took a long nap after the first day of being back at work, and got her gymnastics back tuck back at her acrobatics class the next day (she used to be able to do the back tucks when she took gymnastics earlier, but, she had to stop classes after she went to university due to class/work schedules). She's taking acrobatics, now, which includes some gymnastics moves as well.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Being able to rest and take it easy when I feel under the weather
- Neighbor T is OK
- Warm knitted blankets
- Nothing wrong with the phone - just too much stuff being stored on it!
- Video chatting with my daughter
Today's joyful activity was relaxing on the sofa and watching TV! There might have been a "bon-bon" or two, as well - Belgium truffles I received as a Christmas gift from neighbor T. It's what retirement is all about, isn't it? LOL!
Tuesday's to do list (including things I didn't do on Monday, as well):
- Change bed sheets
- Load of laundry (bed sheets/towels)
- Paperwork
- Water the houseplants
- Pick up friend R and go to the library to watch the movie
- Water the houseplants
- Pick up friend R and go to the library to watch the movie
Hopefully, I'll feel quite well, tomorrow.
How was your Monday? What are your plans for Tuesday?
Wow,your daughter is very talented, love that drawing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalia. I'll share a secret with you - I think she's talented, too! :D
DeleteHave a sofa day, snuggle under a warm blanket, eat chocolate and watch TV. Hope you feel better tomorrow. High winds and heavy rain here. I'm staying home sorting out my bookshelves. There will be cake!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. That is basically what I did, today! :D We've been told to expect rain, later in the week. I decided to hold off on watering the garden until it rains!
DeleteSorting out the bookshelves sounds like a good thing to do on a rainy day!
Rest up. I hope you'll soon be feeling better. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. Feeling much better, today. :)
DeleteI love your daughter's drawings!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Take it easy!
Thank you, Sharon. I'm feeling better, today.
DeleteSorry to hear you're feeling under the weather and hope it's just a 24 hour thing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Downton Abbey film yet. We watched the first couple of series and then list track of it when Ced was ill. We loved it though and I plan to rewatch it at some stage so have decided against watching the film until I have caught up. I hope you enjoy it though.
Thank you, Eileen; feeling better, today.
DeleteI am looking forward to seeing the movie. I watched a little bit about the making of the movie on TV; they didn't reveal the entire plot, of course, but gave a few "behind the scenes" looks, which was fun.
I am going to wait for the rain instead of watering, too. I hope you enjoyed the movie and that you are feeling better today. I love relaxing under my warm knitted and crocheted blankets, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie; I am feeling better. The forecast says rain on Thursday. I think the garden can wait until then. The movie is this evening, at the Burbank library; I'm looking forward to seeing it. Those knitted and crocheted blankets are great to have on hand, aren't they? :)
DeleteHope you feel up-to-par, today...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, always clean out, all/any techy devices.
I clear history and quit Firefox, every time I get off my computer. Always a good plan, and especially so, now that it is so old. -smile-

I'm feeling much better, today, thank you, Wisps of Words.
DeleteYes, it was an important reminder to go through old emails, etc. and delete stuff. :)
Hope your day is going well.
I hope you feel better today. A good reminder that I should cleanup a few folders myself.
ReplyDeleteI did feel better, today, thank you, Live and Learn. :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon, Bless.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so nice of you to check on your neighbor.
I felt much better, today, Nil.
DeleteWe check on each other, neighbor T and I. She usually calls me on Sunday mornings, and if I don't hear from her by Monday afternoon, I call to check on her. :)
Good to hear that you were enjoying your Belgian truffles. We have finally finished our haul of chocolate goodies. In the end we made a noble attempt to get through them as soon as possible (actually we just decided to give up being moderate and we pigged out). Now we are back to normal and may be a lot healthier now the festive season is over!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to open the box of truffles, but, you know how it is. No willpower! :D
DeleteI too love your daughter's drawings. She's a very good illustrator of her days.
ReplyDeleteI think a retirement with a few bon bons is definitely in order.
Debra
Thank you, Debra. :)
DeleteUnfortunately, those bon bons caused me to gain weight! LOL!
