What Are You Doing Today?

[Beth Gallagher]

I have an appointment with the dermatologist in a little while to have a spot checked near my collarbone. I don't think it's anything serious (and probably nothing). I expect this to be a fairly quick in-and-out doctor visit.

I have also requested an appointment with a local ophthalmologist for a cataract surgery evaluation. This is for a second opinion, and since my current eye doctor is a retinal specialist who doesn't do cataract surgeries I need to find another eye surgeon.

I'll be stopping by the voting facility to cast my vote in the runoffs. Now I wish I had gone last week during early voting.

I have had a busy morning cooking. I have made some dinner rolls to wrap up and put in the freezer. I also made a big pot of meat sauce that usually goes with mostaccioli that has been simmering all morning. I will put the sauce into individual serving size containers to add to the freezer. Then there was all that clean up in the kitchen; with more to come later. {big sigh}

I'll be working in the greenhouses. Wife is busy all day, so I will be on my own.

Have a screen guy scheduled to replace one large section on the patio cage. A squirrel chewed a hole in it trying to get to a container of bird seed that I made the mistake of leaving on the patio over night. Not a big job, and thought I would do it myself, until I realized {a} it involves a step ladder and {b} I'm almost 80 years old. It seems the only tool I use for home repairs anymore is my debit card.

eta - just realized that today would be our 63rd wedding anniversary if my 1st wife was still living. Married in 1963, I was 16, she was 17. Damn

Finishing the vegetable beds and a long phone gossip session with an old friend. Happy hour on the patio.

Mysterious going on at the Old Faye Corral, this morning.

See my post in Beth's Ghost thread. I decided it belonged there, not on this thread.

Do you get charged a deposit on every canned good you buy? How does the refund process work? Do they count the cans or just weight them and extrapolate a count? There used to be deposits on glass soda bottles here. I assume the mess and handling contributed to that process' demise.

I cleaned the bathrooms already and have all the cleaning towels in the washing machine “washing”, maybe a little vacuuming, and dust mopping the laminate floors. I will call it quits with that for today.

No not yet ! I'm sure it will happen one day .

You can go to the grocery store & they have a place where you can manually put all eligible plastic containers and then go to a cashier and show your receipt and she gives you the cash ! It's a 10 cents deposit for each We go somewhere that we leave the big transparent bag full of plastic eligible containers/bottles with a sticker with all information and a few days later they send us a a-transfer that we can deposit in our bank account !

It's a bit of a pain but this morning we had 4 big bags and should be around $40.00

I calculated all deposits on my grocery bill and it's around $10.00 a month ...we had about 4 months accumulated in the basement !
