What have you been doing today?

[cookie1]

What a very naughty pharmacist Chookie. DD would have a fit.
I'm joining everyone with a dicey something. I've had IBS or something similar for about 10 days. I think/hope it's improving now. I have my diabetes check next week so I will mention it to the doctor if it's not better. I think we are all over 21. (s😂adly)

I really haven't done much today. I have been searching high and low for a file I need. This morning I decided I would go through everything, I found it. For some stupid reason I had mis labelled it.

Judy,  when I realised that my problem was probably reflux, ( also talking to my GP over the fence) , I checked my medication. With the help of Google. 1 pill in the morning or 2 morning and night. The chemist had written night for 1 pill.
Rectified , my voice is now returning and I have lost my sore throat. I am still being very careful what I’m eating and how much.
Marina, so pleased that the new machine is successful.
Cookie, glad you found your file. I’ve already misplaced my Probus badge. Hope it turns up.

The procedure was ok if not a little overwhelming but I managed it . Then had to do nothing for 24 hours !! Grabbed a little food for dinner and then next day packed and slowly loaded car . Stopped a few times as my arm was aching ( collected my reading glasses) . DH had two crown’s yesterday too. Taking it easy till we have DS Vis Comm exhibition to attend the arvo . ! One more school week left, as such . Then exams and revising .

Glad you have managed it KAtie.
I popped up to the shops this morning as DD and I don't plan to go out tomorrow. I did my lotto (one day I may win more than $10)

I’m feeling great.
Kidney Specialist yesterday. This Dr is amazing. 2 months ago a blood test suggested I had stage 3 kidney disease. This Dr said he thought Is was the combination of pills I was taking. He made changes and now I have kidneys that are functioning better than average. He said a couple more tweaks and even more improvement. Not drinking enough water.
Made a special trip to Woolies and bought 12 1 1/2 litre bottles of filtered water. Very heavy. As I was going through check out a customer offered to put them in my car. There are some very nice people around.
It is freezing again in Ballarat. I’ve put most winter clothes away, left a few out and taken summer clothes out.

Choose that is great news regarding your kidneys .
Nice that there are some thoughtful people around.
It has been cold as lighting the fire agin in the last few days .
Went to DS Vis Com exhibition, he even made 3D printed out toolbox draws and a Ute , he helped print out card holders for the other students. It’s a huge portfolio of design for a logo and printed clothing hat , business cards and a web site too . All pulled together, I was informed the girls showed him how to iron ! How sweet ( yet how did I miss that I’m not sure ) the talent of all the students is amazing and the depth of different mediums is huge . I find these students are full of humble work . Always one that blows your mind the intricate work and so much work . DS drove me home as DH collect a car that was serviced during the week . Home and DH cooked steak for dinner .

Chookie that is such good news and room for more improvement is even better. People don’t drink enough water, in my experience many think that having a sip here and there is ‘drinking water’. I’ve bought the 600 ml bottles of Costco sparkling water since my radiation treatment so tap water now is unpalatable to me (Adelaide water is not as nice as Melbourne’s water). I don’t go anywhere without my bottle of water.   It’s been cold again here too but Ballarat takes the cake for being a very cold area.
Katie, what the kids do at school these days is a far cry from our time. It takes their education to a different level and must be much more interesting for them than it was for us.

Chookie, that is very good news about your kidneys.

[Cuilidh]

Such good new about your kidney's Chookie.  I always try to drink at least 1 lt of water every day - not sure that I always manage, but I do my best.

[achookwoman]

Thanks everyone. When you are by yourself and have health issues it can be difficult.
K Atie that is great work that your DS is doing. The young people today are amazing. Being able to iron a shirt is pretty good also.
DS and family coming today.I’ve a list of computer technical stuff for them to look at.
I think I’m supposed to drink a litre and a half of water a day.
Cold again. Maybe a couple of warmer days in the middle of the week.

[cookie1]

That is truly wonderful news Chookie.
I had planned to vacuum and wash the floor this morning as DD and DH were at a car show till round 11. I’d only just got out of my pj’s and the lady down the road rang to see if she could come over. Therefore no cleaning done. It keeps. 😀😀

[Cuilidh]

The cleaning never goes away, Cookie, no matter how hard you try.

Went to our friend's 70th in the afternoon and had a lovely afternoon with players and teachers in our trade - some were already our customers so it was a lovely catch up as well - lots of fun stories and gossip!

Since I had the treatment for my shoulder I’ve been very restless but have tried not using it too much . We seem to miss all the rain , everything is turning the yellow canola is now green . DS drove through a very heavy rain shower on the wsy back to boarding. Not many more time we will be sharing the driving doing this . It’s coming up to a big week of school events too. It is overwhelming that soon DS will be out of school . Meanwhile DD is finishing up her uni work assessments to then travel and then be home . Lots of what’s app calls now from DD . Life is going to get crazy but good .

DD started 2 weeks holiday today. We popped up to the local Westfield as she wanted to check out a new Sephora. We saw close friends so had a lovely coffee and chat with them.

Marina, that’s lovely. Always nice to catch up.
Yesterday the Ducted heating broke down AGAIN. They are coming this morning to repair it. I’ve also arranged to have a new split system installed.
My neighbour bought some veggie seedlings in for me. All unusual varieties . She works at a place where they develop different different varieties of popular veggies. I’ll try not to kill them.
