What Are You Doing Today?

I haven't read a book in several years. but I ordered and just received the J D Vance book yesterday. Got thru chapter 1 after dinner, and hope to get thru a couple more chapters today. I grew up in Southern Ohio (Appalachia) and for a couple of years lived close to Middletown, where he lived.. We both graduated from The Ohio State University, but somehow I missed out on Yale Law School. And of course I'm twice as old as him.
 
Shower 🚿 , breakfast & of course some housework !

Then some gocery shopping with hubby this morning ( idk what to buy or what to eat anymore) ....he knows though lol 😂😂

A bit of shopping at the Dollar Store ......

Exercising .....mostly Walking & some strength resistance .

Coming on here for awhile & going outside if not too many mosquitoes ! Bought this round thing you light up & makes smoke to stop mosquitoes ...it works a bit .

Anyway wishing everyone a good/okay day ☺️
 
Here's one...

A few years ago, they made me have all my trees within 40 ft of the road taken out so they would not interfere with the new power lines they were putting in. My best walnut trees were among them and I am not sure it actually helped. They took out an antique apple tree that had been there forever and would never get to 40 feet high, an arbor vitae...The power company paid but that didn't make me happier. They only trimmed the big limbs toward the road from the old weeping willows so now they will tend to fall over into my pond. That will be a mess to clean up. I would have preferred they take the whole trees but that would have taken different equipment. A guy offered to start on the newly down limbs for me today. Willows are messy and break in storms. I have never seen a helicopter trimmer here.
Interesting.

Bake cookies for SO’s play date tomorrow. Take out all basil and run it with olive oil as base for pesto and freeze it flat in tiny zip bags. Hopefully stare down the ironing board:) Have a long call or rather a long listen with an old friend.
 
It is raining so, it looks like finishing the house cleaning got bumped up to numbra uno. I still hurt from yesterday's cleaning, but my complaint was quickly rejected by the head senorita. Me, I deal with myself quite well, but negotiating with I is a losing proposition. I is a task mistress, a real heartless bitch.

When Me came to negotiate with I, dressed in leggings and crop top, I heard I impersonate President Donald Trump when he met with the hoodlum looking President of Ukraine, a couple years ago. "Well, I see you came dressed for the occasion!"

Well, the place that wants me to model, sent a text I opened this morning. It seems the CEO of the big main company that made the laser 3D AI machine that produced the perfect fitting item that they think I can model better than anyone, saw a photo of me they took when I was trying out said item after completion and final fitting. This middle aged soon to be billionaire, saw my photo and read my story and chose me over 15 other top contestants. I seriously doubt @Cody Fousnough knows these top 15 contestants, but who knows?

This modeling requires me being photographed at a ranch wearing the stereotypical garb, alongside a horse. Then at a coffee shop, dressed casually, talking to some old very handsome gentleman like it is the beginning of a romance. Then finally at a fine expensive cowboy steak house eating Wagyu/Angus prime rib with a crispy garden salad, laced with crunchy croutons.

All this requiring smiling and flashing my teeth. The problem is I cannot smile and also I cannot keep the 3D AI laser scanned, totally computer designed and machine made dentures, in longer than a couple of hours, because of an uncontrollable gag reflex. I cannot smile or talk clearly while they are in. I can eat and chew my food which is amazing compared to the other dentures that other denturist and dentist made for me that never would stay in place, even glued.

Their dentures are amazing and made crewing possible for me, a miracle. Sadly, the other attributes of dentures are not in my resume. Their promotion of making me smile again, was a failure, but not their fault. I am happy I paid the price, just so I can eat foods that require serious chewing.

I replied that I had to again decline this offer, because I am in witness protection and cannot have my photo all over the internet advertising AI laser 3D machine made dentures. I am hiding from old age and such a photo shoot that might lead to making the front cover of Denturist Monthly and maybe even the centerfold and we all know the grim reaper scans all the old age media, looking for victims.

As @Von Jones would say, it is a big, "No No Nanette!"

So today I picked off a tick. Only my second this year but the weather has been so weird they haven't started up much yet and I have been such a lazy bum that I haven't started up much yet either. They just cut the hay field yesterday for first cut. They always worry me waiting so long but the alfalfa was still just blooming. After they bale, I can make it out to the far side of the property on foot to check things out.
I am SURE there won't be ticks along the way.
; )

I enjoyed Hillbilly Elegy very much, Hoot. Vance overcame quite a lot to get to where he is. You might enjoy the movie if you haven't already seen it. It was made before he was VP and I'm sure the Hollywood liberal establishment wouldn't make it today.

 
I have ironed clothes for many years. It is a force of habit now. Ironing was one of many chores that I had to do, when I was growing up. Both my parents worked so I had to do a lot of house work, cooking, etc.
yeah, been there done that.. all the more reason I stopped, like stop smoking, and getting rid of unnecessary people in my life... liberating for me.
