I'm not sure if Apple has a set day for doing updates. My mac just usually pops up now and then with a message that updates have been downloaded and are ready to install, and would I like to do it now or be reminded later?
So I usually wrap up everything I'm in the middle of and click NOW.

Good Thursday Morning!
Sunny and nice moving right along into afternoon 80's! Can't beat that!
I'm going to batch today... and then I have to be up for going to gymnastics tonite. And there's a live video I want to watch...(guess you can't actually have a live video?) I dunno!!
Kitchen is ready for batching, just have to get my mind set in order...
No little giraffe...I just checked. Tomorrow April, tomorrow!
Something going on with DS1's route home, (nowhere Near the fallen bridge) and we were talking about how fast they think they'll be done with the fallen bridge...Jack tells me there is a place on his trip home that now bottlenecks and its added an additional 10-15 minutes to his commute. They say it will be thus so for about another 5-6 months.....then he said its the same company that is fixing the I-85 fallen bridge... I wonder if the 5-6 month delay will be accurate...85 peeps are working 24/7 to get that interstate up and running again. Or maybe I should wonder how BIG that company is, and do they have the manpower to do both projects? and headache thought....I hope they're not the same folks doing the construction on I-75. That project is nearly 20 years in the making....traffic is ALWAYS backed up for a couple miles...
Ok, off to the kitchen goes this witch.....

Well I'm on my third cup of tea now and haven't exactly been bored...
Eduardo got energetic and made the guacamole that will be part of our lunch, when J finishes his 3 hour meeting at 1:00. Scrambled eggs with guacamole, salsa and maybe cheese, and perhaps some hash brown patties.
Eddie the gardener has watered the crepe myrtle cuttings and lemon seedlings, the grapefruit shrub outside the kitchen (J's mother gave us that - she started it from seed), and has a small fiber pot with fresh potting soil soaking in a small Mascarpone tub in the kitchen, for planting of another sprouted seed from a Meyer lemon. There are two ugli seeds in a damp paper towel and baggie in one of the kitchen cabinets with hope that they will sprout.
Mind you, we don't necessarily expect ANY of these plants to produce fruit, and we know that even if they do there's no telling WHAT they'll produce. All we can reasonably expect, if they grow at all, is a decorative house plant. Any fruit that may result will just be extra and we'll certainly taste it to see if we've come up with anything amazing.

I just GrubHubbed our dinner for tonight. Indian from one of our favorite nearby restaurants will be delivered soon.
We just spent 2 1/2 hours at the vet with Ariel.
She has a "mass" that could be a number of things, but we want an ultrasound next week to get a better look at it than the x-ray gave.
I think regardless, surgery is probably inevitable.
Good news is that all her blood values (except white count) were really good!
We'll know more next week.
She also had one anal gland that they expressed, even though it wasn't totally impacted, and felt around a lot and weighed her.
She has been eating only minimal amounts for a couple of weeks, but when we got home from the vet she ate more (in one meal) than I've seen her eat in a couple of weeks, so that's good too!
They gave her an antibiotic shot because of the white cell count.
She actually got off Jason's shoulders and was resting in a towel at the vet. She was worn out!

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 59 out there now with a high of 84 expected and 20% chance of rain.
Need to clear a few dishes from the sink. Definitely a nap in order for today. Lilo is getting me up just a few minutes earlier each day. Must break her of this habit...
Well, I heard the toaster oven ding so my breakfast is ready.

Hi
I was out walking today and did 4900 steps. The temperature this morning was 48 degrees on the weather forecast vs 45 on the front porch
I did not go as far as usual as I was and am feeling somewhat poorly. A scratchy Throat etc.
I was down .75 pounds this morning and as my weight bounces around I expect to be up again tomorrow, The Saga continues
It is warming up nicely today too. And is forecast to be in the 60s today and tomorrow, 80 on Easter Sunday.
As I was creating this I realized I had put a inadvertent truth when I said 80 on Eater Sunday
Have a wonderful Friday

When I am finished for the day and hit the Start button in windows if there are updates downloaded I get a prompt that I can Shut Down, Shut Down and Install the Updates and Hibernate as well as Sleep, Log off, Lock or Switch User. I am set to download automatically
Since this desktop is a All-In-One where the Motherboard and much of it is a hybrid of laptop and desktop I can Hibernate vs the full desktop that I can not do that with.parityanimal wrote: »Kids! Don't try this at home...

I saw that on the news yesterday, weird that he explained he learned to drive using YouTube videos according to the news broadcast I saw. TBH he could not do worse than some of the drivers I see in the news. such as the one in Texas driving the wrong way on the highway. Here in NJ I saw more than one car on different days coming down the on ramp leading to I-287.
This One, the video can be seen by following the link.

Hi Valerie
Hmm... Is that the Yellow or the Pink Peeps working on the repair, either way a timely repair crew heading into Easter Sunday
That is not a surprise to me, they may all be IOS devices, not necessarily the same software however.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Yeah Ed...my Mac is set to auto update...not so with my iOS toys. They have to tell me..and sometimes its days between the phone update notice and the iPad!!!

Good Morning, Good Friday, and Happy 74th to me!
Pushed for time...wanted to say hello.
I'm expecting that Giraffe, April, to have that calf today! Would make my day special.
Ed, I so hope that the Ultra Sound will show something positive for Ariel. I so hate it when babies and animals are sick. They just can't tell us what hurts, etc. Hoping for the very best outcome for Ariel. (encouraging to know she ate a good meal yesterday)
I zoomed thru the photo's etc..will come back later today and do a better 'read'. I did see the cat climb the wall...must have been after something? In Hawaii gecko's cohabitate in houses as good luck 'charms'....we stayed with my roommate's sister and husband...they had two, one upstairs in the bathroom, and the one downstairs with half a tail...don't even ask the cat!!! LOL!
Ok..gotta run. My day/weekend is going to be busy.

Ultrasound showed Ariel's mass to be about 4 cm x 4 cm, attached to the lower colon, with a small, slightly enlarged lymph node nearby. Most likely a lymphoma or possibly carcinoma.
We will know more, hopefully, after the needle (aspiration) biopsy has been assessed. The radiologist gave us the slides with the biopsy material and prints of his ultrasound pictures to give to our vet.
She'll have them assessed and then we can discuss treatment options.0 -
And now for something completely different...

Ed, thanks for the update on Ariel. Holding out hope for her.
Loved Kermit singing my song for the day!
That darn giraffe only has 3.5 hours to get that baby here today, and I have no reason to believe it sill happen, so shortly I will be going to bed!!!
Roger I'm guessing the 'peeps' working on the bridge are pink, as I have the yellow ones in a bedroom drawer...Tomorrow I will break the cellophane wrapping, so they can get just a tad 'stale'... Stale peeps are as good as chocolate bunny ears!

Hi
I was out walking today and did 4200 steps. The temperature this morning was 45 degrees on the weather forecast vs 41 on the front porch
It is a nice enough day outside for walking, Not too cold and minimal breeze
I did not go as far as usual as I was and am still feeling somewhat ill. A scratchy Throat etc.
It is warming up nicely today too. And is forecast to be in the 60s today and tomorrow, 80s on Easter Sunday.
BTW have You ever seen the video of passenger planes landing on one of the islands?
St Maarten Crazy Takeoff Landing 747 A340 etc. (Full HD 1080p !)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS8y89DHMTs
and
VERY low approach St Maarten! Real footage of a risky landing
Clearing the gate with no more than two meters, this is certainly one of the lowest landings ever. Enjoy!

I don't care for Peeps at all. But speaking of Peeps...Here are kids trying Easter candy.

Diabetes still sucks. Of course there was no reason to think that it wouldn't still suck...
Went to the grocery to buy a few things. Didn't snack first, or bring any glucose tabs in with me because hey, grocery store! Besides, if I carry my tube of glucose tabs with me in my trouser pocket, everyone thinks I'm really glad to see them.
Picked up a cart, strolled through the produce and then the bakery/deli. Browsed the meat and started to mosey on down to dairy and...
Suddenly realized I was crashing. HARD.
Tottered up to the front of the store, bought a double bar Snicker bar, ate one of the bars, put the receipt and the other bar in my pocket, and carried on. Probably should have sat down on one of the outside benches or chairs for a while but just trucked on.
After a couple of minutes, I felt enough better to actually do the shopping, as I had not put one, single item in the cart before crashing, and then headed on to the vet to buy cat food, and then to Kentucky Fried Taco Bell to pick up some semblance of food for lunch, still feeling awfully wobbly but not totally crashed.
Started feeling a little bit more recovered, finally, as I paid for lunch (after a rather long wait) and drove on home.
Put the groceries away. Ate that lunch, which included a biscuit and a small chocolate chip cookie.
Checked and my glucose was at 99. Now 99 is good. In fact, 99 is GREAT, but I was shocked that after all that it wasn't up around 150 or so.
Like I said, I really crashed hard.
Diabetes rarely does what you expect it to...
