Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I made myself a cup of coffee and am ready to sit for awhile and chat. I feel like I've been super busy lately but I honestly couldn't tell you what I've been doing 
The older I get, the slower I move so it takes me twice as long to get stuff done. I have another birthday coming up next month and if I didn't have all these aches and pains (arthritis) I'd feel like a million dollars.
I forgot to take a Tylenol before going to bed last night so I woke up feeling extra achy this morning. I'm sure the upcoming rain and the drop in temperatures hasn't helped either.
But, I have things on my "to do" list today but most can be done without much effort.
My priorities today are:
Crocheting
Catching up on some tv shows
Reading
It's nice to be able to just relax on days when I don't feel 100%
How are you doing today?

What crochet projects are you working on? I’m really sorry you didn’t get your Tylenol last night. I know how achy I am when I forget to take my pain medicine, and I imagine your arthritis is even worse than mine. So those aches and pains must be very troublesome.
And even though I always said I wouldn’t complain in the winter because I hate summer so much, I noticed last year it took more effort not to complain. I didn’t save as much on electricity as I wanted to last year because my bones can’t tolerate it like they used to.
Are you watching any new shows this fall? Anything I should be looking for?

@Marilynda1225 That sounds like a fantastic show! I think I had briefly heard about it, but it definitely sounds like something fun to watch.

I've been getting orders for 100% cotton dishcloths which I decided to make on a whim.
The cold really does make my arthritis worse and it usually takes about an hour every morning for my meds to kick in. My heat was on a lot last year too and I expect it to be on a lot this year, It's already been on overnight lately.
I know you like game shows and we just watched Wonkas Golden Ticket (Netflix) where contestants do challenges as they go through the chocolate factory. I don't know if you have Netflix but it was really a good show,

Doing pretty well thank you. I managed to get enough sleep last night..yay me! So I always feel good when I am well rested. Your day sounds pleasant. Hopefully, my day will be fine, although has the potential to be a bit harrowing as my car is never at 100 percent.

There always seems to be a problem with your car but hope it's nothing really bad.
Glad you had a good nights sleep and you're feeling good,

@Marilynda1225 Yes, I really did. If Nico sleeps in, * can usually sleep in.

You have the luxury of being able to take your time getting around to getting things done, you've worked hard to get to this point in life. I'm sorry about the aches today. Hopefully that cup of coffee helped relax you and you feel better.
Nothing special here today, I finished working and will go to get the girls off of the school bus in a little while.

I feel your priorities are perfect.
What are you crocheting at the moment ?

I know what you mean about the aches and pain of age. Harder and harder to get yourself going.

It takes about an hour every morning for my prescription meds to kick in. Then I'm usually good to go

I'm sorry you are not feeling the best. Hopefully, just chillin' and watching TV and crocheting and reading will give you some rest and energy.
I am OK today. Son had a telehealth appointment at 8 am, so that's over with. This is Tuesday, so we most generally have 2 appointments for him every Tuesday afternoon. We will go to those later on. Have a good day, Marilyn--and don't forget your Tylenol!
