After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Good morning everyone. I couldn't get in last night. Wasn't home until later but when I tried to get into CS, the page would time out. Rest of the websites were fine.
I, like a lot of others do not wear makeup very often now yet I used to wear it every day once. Now I am getting wrinkles (and even more since I lost weight), I think that makeup shows them out more and does nothing for me. Fresh normal skin with some moisteriser unless we are going somewhere very special. Sometimes I will put some eye makeup on. I only have grey around the temples and a few streaks in my hair covers them.
Nothing much planned for my day. I have the grandaughter this morning then I am on my own. Frank does a lot of volunteer work and he has a lunch and dinner breakup today. UTI has gone but still have a bit of asthma from the humidity so will probably do some scrapbooking.
Enjoy your day everyone.

New door mat to purchase today....the rescue dog ate mine ๐ So many toys outside yet he ate the mat! Lovely to see him finally confident enough to start to play. Although throwing a toy sees him cower and wet himself:( ....must have had thingz thrown at him in the past. Small steps to gain his confidence.
It does sound like that... poor dog 
Our rescue girl used to run and hide cowering with her tail curled in so tight, every time you picked up anything with a long handle (rake, broom etc) . OH didn't understand why til I explained she had probably been beaten, maybe many times. He was horrified.
We have now had her for 7 of her 8 years, and though she looks at you warily now, she no longer runs away. It must have been horrific because she has remembered for such a long time
Morning all, late that it is.
With the s-l-o-w-n-e-s-s of the CS thread I went searching around some sites for some alternate diversion to my usual start of the day.
My brain hurts. It has been "thinking" and "wondering" and "learning" about subjects that were raised in the family discussions on Sunday.
My thought processes aren't as quick as theirs' now. Way out of practice. 
But what I do know is: I don't have to deal frantically with traffic and timetables day in day out. I don't have to deal with adhering to "the system" at work. I don't have to "keep up" at someone else's pace (be it fast or slow compared to mine). I don't have to keep up "appearances" or behave and act my age.
Okay, I miss it sometimes. I don't have the passion that they still have for their "work" which they don't classify as jobs. They are still flourishing in their chosen fields.
However, I am flourishing in my own way, in the garden and interaction with Mother Nature and to read, knit, drill wood, wear nightwear in the daytime.
And speaking of gardens, I will go out there now for my untimetabled play-date for some dirt/water therapy.

We are back home, we had a lovely short break away done some shopping bought some nice new towels and bathroom mats.
We have a christmas party on Saturday night with the RSL travel club, and talking bright colours I bought a lovely loose cool flowing top suitable to wear over 3/4 tights and a couple of tops $116 for $64 due to a sale.
Talking hair, i'm always being asked about what colour I have in my hair 
I get the strangest look when I say ummm it's natural I have no colour in it. I was a redhead so now it's 3 colours, I still have some red/auburn and then I have the salt and pepper happening plus strawberry blonde
Good to see everyone has been behaving.
The Doctor's went well, the ultrasound with the measured thingo was in fact the sentinel lymph node under my left armpit. Because all 20 lymph nodes were removed from my right arm when I was operated on it is just a check on the sentinel lymph on the left to keep a check in case of enlargement. Soooooo I won't see the Onco for 12 months now unless i'm unwell
