How Was Your Day?

The Diwali celebrations are on tonight which is the festival of light holiday for the Hindu faith and there are a lot of Hindus around here. There are firecrackers going off all over the place and observant Hindus have votive lights on all over the house along with cooking of special dishes.
 
My car went for its MOT today and fortunately passed easily. There were a few advisements that will need to be done, probably within the next 6 months, which will cost a few hundred, but all it needed to pass today was two bulbs. This was a relief; the mileage is low but it's still a ten year old car.

What is a MOT?
I have been so flippin lazy today. I feel like I have been chatting online way too much! But then again looking back over the day, I got quite a bit done this morning, including netting the fruit trees and washing my hair, which always wipes me out. I just do NOT want to go outside!

There is so much to do in the garden and I am completely overwhelmed by it. I need the mowing and hedges done asap but the bugs and flies out there are in ridiculous numbers and I will use so much more energy swatting them away. Its so hard to breath with that many bugs in your face!

I have done walkies and the washing but I havent really moved and wont be going to the pool today. I dont want to lose muscles but also dont have the motivation to do much because I am trying to save energy just in case I CAN get some of the gardening done later today. Ugh.
 
A friend and I had the day off for Veterans Day, so we went to the zoo. A lot of people apparently had the same idea, as it was fairly crowded. But then it was 68F degrees today, crazy for November! Best thing we saw was a tree kangaroo lumbering down trees to about two feet from the ground, then spending several minutes pulling a branch up from the ground to nibble on, instead of just going the last few feet down to it. We also saw the two baby gorillas, which were adorable, though the boys next to us were most entertained by a mom gorilla peeing and pooping. I believe there's a book about that, kids!

Afterwards, we went to IHOP and I got pumpkin spice pancakes, unhealthy but delicious!

I keep saying I want to go to the zoo too before winter hits.
I just have to say I love hearing about what everyone does on a random day!

Today was pretty average I guess for me. I slept in, took the dogs to the park, did some housework, read a bit, listed some items on eBay. Then worked (bartender) in the evening. It was fairly busy because we had a big sold out show at the venue across the street and there was a festival celebrating the 100th year anniversary of Route 66, which runs right through the city I live in. The weather was cool and sunny. Can't complain.
 
Took the dogs for a walk up a big hill overlooking the ocean. They wanted to go closer to the water but dogs were not allowed on the sand. They are really too little to take to the proper dog beach, but I think they would love it. We are all tired out now.

Its supposed to be cooler on the weekend, so hopefully I can catch up on some gardening then.
 
OMFG! Got home after long day at work only to discover that our water's been shut off! 😦
Talked to downstairs neighbor. Apparently the water company were supposed to turn it back on before we got home.
I didn't even know it was gonna be turned off at all! Knew the idiot previous landlord never transferred the account.
Apparently now it's too late to get a hold of anyone. So probably be without water till tomorrow... 😡
 
I finally got my car connected to the Toyota app, so I hope that means I have roadside assistance and such. But I suspect the real purpose is so that Toyota can track everywhere I go. 😱

Christmas has exploded at my grocery store. And yet, no snickerdoodle Twinkies! I demand a recount!

Ooh snickerdoodle twinkles sound amazing
Ok, I've done walkies, 2 loads of washing, dishes, mowed the lawn and trimmed some of the hedges before the batteries ran out. Its a lovely cloudy day here today so I am getting as much done as I possibly can. But now I have the shakes and can barely type let alone much else. Time to recharge with peanut butter and decaf coffee.
 
Been a pretty good day. Surprisingly good half day at work. Then got home to find my water was back on. Yay!
Now just hanging out with the GF and watching stuff...
 
I dropped HEAVY jarrah gate on my big toe 😭😭😭 I dont think I am going to be able to save the nail. Its all smashed at the base. Serves me right, I knew I was going to hurt myself if I kept working with the shakes. Especially in thongs. Hopefully it doesn't get infected cos I stayed out to finish my jobs and one of those jobs was changing the fish pond water before I came in to clean it up.

I am trying to train the grape vine to go up the fence and side of the house. The landlord isnt going to fix the roof, so I am thinking if I put the grape vine up over it, there will be a little more cover for summer. It might add to the structural integrity in the end...
 
My day has been rather nice. It's cool outside, blue sky, with fluffy white clouds. So I went to visit my mom, since the truck enjoys cool weather (less likely to overheat and stall in traffic). At least I have AAA if it broke down!

Mom isn't doing so well, and I gave her a kiss on the forehead. She used to do that while tucking me in at night. ❤️ I feel soooo much better after seeing her.

Afterwards I treated myself to KFC which I totally deserved. 🍗🍗🍗
 
Pretty decent, even if I needed a ton of coffee lol. It was a nice, cool day where the heater was finally on for the whole day lol. I got some writing done, my husband took the kids out to run errands, so I had the house to myself for a while.
 
Was in bed big portion of the day cause the flu, i ate well and drank plenty, then binge watched The Walking Dead, its a very good serie, i love it and next to Dexter and Buffy one of my favorites.

I hope you feel better soon! I personally think getting to lie around all day watching TV is the best part of being sick.
My day was OK. Slept well enough, a miracle. Going out these days feels scary, people are stressed and unhappy and I can feel it in the air. Driving with my friend a car nearly cut us off, lots o'fun. I'm destressing right now b.c. lately everything is like the book of Job. Got rid of tmobile and using a better internet company - THAT was a nightmare. I feel like the 21st century is a buckle up buttercup, it's gonna be a bumpy night (and day) kind o'place lol. I do love this time of year b.c. I dig Christmas and it has personal meaning for me. I want to go to a church bazaar and enjoy it this year.
