I've had a busy day. Big guy is still away (so I'm feeding his fish twice daily, plus watering my pot of veggies there), I picked up two elderly ladies for a Bible Study season-concluding social at the church. Had made two sorts of mini quiches last night and dropped off at church, but car had not been cleaned for months. While one of the little old ladies is a dear friend (mother of my next-door neighbour), who I take EVERYWHERE for church stuff, and just doesn't care if the car is clean or not, the other is a very special, even older lady, who is English, and a little bit proper-ish by nature, so car needed a clean. So I got rid of all the electronic recycling in the trunk yesterday at the local recycler, and this morning, after Lucy came back, I motored over to the Self-Serve Car wash, vacuumed, washed, rinsed, waxed, home to detail with bucket of soapy water and window cleaner, finished in exactly enough time to get myself into church clothes (to distinguish them from 8:15 a.m. car washing clothes) and motor around picking up ladies, shifting a walker in and out of the trunk wearing an all white outfit, lol, delivering them both to church, whisking out my quiche contribution, visiting for a lovely 90 minutes, then getting everyone re-installed in their homes. Back to the church following dog walk for a Vacation Bible Camp meeting; I am snack person, actor, and set design worker (I will not design; I will paint; I will hunt down props).

Lordy, you sound like an Energizer Bunny!
 
Meanwhile I'm trying to not whine about endless head pain - mild to devastating, that remains undiagnosed. I saw a neurologist on the 12th and he flippantly gave a diagnosis and meds I developed an excruciating headache on the 17th, 18th, 19th and phoned his office to see if this was connected to the meds. No - go to the ER. I continue waiting for an MRI. Shheeesh the Health Care System grinds along slowly for patients in pain..
 
Just finished mowing most of the back lawn. I try to avoid mowing most of the volunteer flowers, slowing me down, I deliberately mowed the ones in patches of hedge bedstraw, one of the nastiest invasive plants I have encountered in terms of spreading and dominating. I also mowed the violets and clover because they come back quickly. My favourite volunteers are fleabane and tiny pink flowers on long stems. We just have a few buttercups, orange hawksbeard and yellow hawksbeard. Lots of white daisies and the lawn has abundant white clover, yellow vetch, and two small leafed plants with purply blue flowers that mostly are below mower height. Sane goes for the wild strawberries.

Have you told them you want to be on the cancellation list? ( if you can get there relatively quickly). There is always someone who misses appointments, Covid being one reason).
 
Good morning! My, we've been busy. Golfing and hanging out, church socials, and car washes, yard work and dealing with headaches and health care systems, for all the other things that go on, we gather round the Coffee Cart for conversation and community. The coffee is brewed, the tea water is hot, all is ready. Come join us.

Beautiful sunshine. Just a little achy from yesterday.

I realize it is hard for people when their doctors are not helpful. A year ago we were finally getting progress on determination of the cause of facial pain B had been experiencing since the beginning of February and that was because we could afford to pay for a special MRI recommended by a Facial pain specialist. The appointment with the specialist was initiated by a dentist

Pain issues are often very difficult to resolve.

A good suggestion, but we are too far away to take advantage of that. Wait times for scans tend to be fairly long here - those marked Urgent take about two months! Kinda tough if you feel lousy or in pain.
 
Discovered more secured virtues yesterday and found sacred societies censored that also ... it is the way of succession vs secession and vaporizing ... very esteemed!

The caldron was left to boil away and thicken up ... hard irony as the far roe in Egypt?

How the great mystery of the unknown entertains archangels after stumbling into reality ... is a sad song like a cat hissing in the dark ... thiss 'd!
 
I am a lunatic. 8 yards of mulch is a f***ton of mulch. Even if it's free. It's full of chopped up leaves, though, so it'll shrink down fast, so I'll pile it deep.

Drinking coffee between bunches of roses. Strategy is to weed around the roses, then put a circle of cow manure around, scratch in a bit of rose food (it'll help the second blooming anyway, lol), then mulch deep around each rose, leaving a shallow depression to collect water. I've done two. There's about 10 more, then the lavender plants to do the same with. It should take most of the mulch. It's big enough that normally, six bags of mulch is a (too) thin layer.

Thinking of you, Kay. Chronic pain is very wearying.
 
I thought 8 yards was a lot of mulch. The stuff on the bottom should compost well. It might also harbour slugs. Slugs or some kind of flying insects are eating the leaves on the rose.

One of my team had to have an MRI on his knee due to chronic problems (he's now off work after surgery) and ended up travelling to a neighbouring city at 2am or something like that to get it. And I am sure we have at least one MRI in this city. He just got in faster that way.
 
Much composting as time rots ... and spoils away contrary to expectations ...

Marks how little we know about the rot of history as it goes by as an alien ... imagine if we'd have learned something from the past?

But like love in a hateful surrounding it is ineffable ... setting a standard! The sounds of abstract, absence of silence if you wish ...
 
Thus Olivet arrived ... as an ancient icon of slippery trees of sentient states ... unseen by humanity ... due to lapse ... thoughts slide ... to the hind ... back room goings on ...

Glad he got in somehow. I seem to have heard that the hospital I would use have their MRI area reserved between midnight and 6 am for maintenance and emergencies. No idea how many machines there are. It is the biggest hospital in the province. I assume some scans take longer than others too.
 
Been absent. Family stuff, Father's Day , grandkid D's, work seem to consume time, plus sewing for the girls.

The room is a good place to settle
