Roger, at least it hasn't been super hot. Still awful to be without power, we are so spoiled!0

Hi all
Thank you E and Roger.
Today my foot is pretty sore because I was on it so much yesterday but usually not too bad.
E, enjoy your class.
Roger, I have always said that you can pile on clothes but once you get down to your birthday suit you can't take any more off.
I don't even have a heater. My space heater conked out the beginning of last winter and I never replaced it.
Just finished paying my $500 income tax due so can't buy very many NS gift cards.
Have a good day.0 -
Hi All
Welcome to Wednesday
I walked to the post office, McDs for Coffee and looped the long way back home, total 2.75 miles. I see that one portion of my order is out for delivery today. I suspect it to be the Shelf Stable foods. I'll know when it comes. As long as my frozen does not sit in FedEx over the Holiday Weekend.
It is a bit humid, We had thunderstorms go through overnight 4AM'ish time frame. The rain was gone although the streets were still wet when I started out.
Have a Great Day
Roger
Edit: The phone just rang and voila it was NutriSystem telling me to expect my frozen in the next three days. That usually equates to the same day as the call. As it happens I was really hoping that it would be the Shelf Stable foodsHi all

Hi LynMar
Well that stinks, I suppose you do not want to charge them either?
I agree, it is easier to add to keep warm. However No heat makes it hard to type with the gloves on

Hi all.
Well, got most of the metal out of my ankle. There were a couple of screws he couldn't get out. Am sitting with my foot elevated and iced, waiting for hubs who went to pick up some pain medicine for me. Gotta keep it elevated and iced for about a week, and no driving. So no art class tomorrow. I'll probably be knocked out from the meds anyway. I'm glad that's over with. Everyone was really nice at the surgery center. Have bruises from the IV, but all in all, I'm feeling pretty good. Drinking my morning coffee that I couldn't have this morning.
Too bad about the IRS payment Lynmar.
Glad you're getting a shipment Roger.
It rained here a little bit this morning. Funny, it is easier when we don't have to water the plants.
Have a great day, everyone.0 -
Hi all
Thunderstorms coming this way. When it's this hot we usually have them in the afternoon. Cools it off but then it's twice as humid.
Roger, you're doing great with your walking!
I hope your frozen doesn't get hung up over the holidays.
E, glad your ordeal is over. Hope you don't have much (not *any* but that's not realistic) pain. That's a bummer that you can't drive.
Have a good day.

Hi Vix
FWIW I have found that I do not get bruises from where they take blood samples if I keep pressure on that spot for a few minutes.
How could that be, less work when we do not have to water?
Enjoy the StayCation
Cheers

Hi LynMar
Nope it turns out it was the frozen that came. I really wanted it to be the Shelf Stable as I am lowest on SS Desserts and ordered extras to get things back into balance. If my freezer had soft sides they would be bulging. I think I can fit the On Sale at $1.99 per pound with the coupon London Broil in. We have two coupons, one each and two key tags, so that makes two 2 packs. My Brother turns them into Ground Beef. Much cheaper than what they are selling Ground Beef for on Per pound basis. And since he has the grinding attachment for his Kitchen Aid why not.
Cheers
Roger0 -
Haha, Roger, staycation for sure, and I'm getting waited on! That's pretty sweet. Great idea for the ground beef.
Lynmar, thanks, haha...I took a Percocet, so pain is minimal. They're strong! I'm surprised I haven't fallen asleep, they've always knocked me out before. Stocked up on library books. Just finished First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen, and going to start A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. Anne Tyler's another local (Baltimore area) writer, so it's kind of fun to read about familiar places in the fiction.

Good morning.
More rain, more R&R for me.0 -
Good morning.

Hi Vix
Rain down Your way? Hmmm... It is nice out today here just a few hours drive north of You. I have a pile of recycling out at the curb, I hope it gets picked up. Usually they have been and gone before this time of day. I saw them out and about when I was walking 6:45 to 8:15 (more or less).
Enjoy the R&R And the getting waited on
Roger0 -
Hi Roger. Sometimes the pickup schedules get moved around holidays. Was drizzling on and off all day. Mostly watching tv and reading. Putting ice on and off the ankle. It's ok. Feeling sort of knocked out anyway.
Have a Happy 4th of July weekend. 0 -
Hi all.
Roger, both of mine usually come at the same time. NS says they don't ship that way but ....
E, I'm glad it's minimal pain. I'm reading more than usual too. Not much else to do. Floors need sweeping, garbage needs taken to the curb, etc. but can't do it on one and a half feet. Just learned how to walk on two feet.
When I can use two again I'll catch back up with it. May even get a friend to go grocery shopping for me.
Don't think we had rain today. First time in about a week.
Have a good day.

Good morning!
Looks like it's going to be a pretty nice day.
Lynmar, it's good you have someone to shop for you. I think Pete's going to take me out to get a cane today. I'm too off to drive, but it'll be nice to get out for a few minutes. Have to keep the foot elevated for another few days. I have to leave the dressing on til I go back to the doc in 2 weeks. Hard keeping it dry! Hope you heal quickly.
Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone. (I'll probably stay home, but can see the fireworks from our yard.)0 -
Hi all
E, wish I could ship my cane to you. I love it but have to use the walker except in the house right now. Here's a link to it: https://www.hurrycane.com/ Isn't it a bother to bathe/shower now? Didn't appreciate it until I couldn't do it.
Have a good 4th!0 -
Hi Lynmar, yeah, it was hard to take a shower. The dressing didn't stay completely dry...I tried. I got a cane at CVS. Pretty nice, adjusts for height, and has a design with flowers on it. The handle looks like yours (comfort fit handle). Its nice and soft. I can get my flipflops on. Fireworks will probably start in about an hour. Happy 4th everyone. 0

Good morning.
Happy Independence Day!0 -
Hi all
E, cane sounds pretty.
I took shower today because my dogs were almost out of food. I used a cast protector I got at Walgreen's and my foot stayed dry until I stepped on the bathtub rim. Just got it wet on the bottom so no problem.
Enjoy the fireworks.0 -
Good morning.
Looks like a pretty nice day today, a little hazy, but have to get out for a while.
Got the foot in a bag thing worked out, kept it completely dry this morning in my shower. Yay! Only another week and a half to go.
Enjoy your Sunday!0 -
Hi Lynmar-I love your cat picture. Is is your cat?0
-
Hi all
E, glad your bag worked. I'm hoping when he takes the stitches out tomorrow I can shower again. No external pin this time so will have to talk to him about that.
Hi Joanne. Yes He's my JJ. I took that shot back when my diabetic cat was alive and I was doing a lot of computer research.
Have a good week.0 -
Hi Jo.
Lynmar, sorry about your cat.
Good luck with your doc tomorrow. I don't go back til next week, 7/15.
Have a good night.0 -
just peeking in and letting everyone know i'm still alive. got most of the stuff done we wanted at moms but managed to bring home a pretty good case of poison ivy. both arms are pretty much covered on the inner softer skin, spot on my chest and above my eye. went to the drs today. lots of steriods. haven't been able to wear my fitbit or watch the last few days and honestly been spending as much as i can sleeping as i can ignore the urge to claw myself bloody for an hour or so that way
dr says it should start improving a teeny bit in about 12 hours from the shot but probly at least another 3 -4 days before real improvement. living on benedryl and advil every four hours but im alive
omg make the itches stop! lol hope everyone's doing well. i just glanced very quickly through since being on the pc makes my arms itchy. E glad you got most of the metal out. hopefully i'll be back more normal mid weekish when they finally start clearing up
non contaminating huggs
~kel0 -
Good morning.
Kel, glad you're back, but yikes! That's a lot of poison ivy! Did doc recommend any creams/lotions/Aveeno oatmeal bath? Are you using Benedryl lotion or calamine? They're usually pretty good for the itches as long as you keep putting more on. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs to you...avoiding the itchy spots!0 -
Hi All
Another beautiful looking day, Humid however.
Have a Great Week

Hi Kel
You have my Sympathy for the itchiness. I scratched myself pretty badly from a bad itch on the lower legs. I ended up putting a cream on them and then wrapping that in Saran Wrap so the pants did not wipe the cream off or make the itch worse. The cream said not to do that, but desperate times require desperate measures
We had a little poison ivy in the front Flower bed, But I used Round Up on it last year and that seems to have done the job.
Good Luck
Roger0 -
Hi all
E, thank you. He was a great cat.
Kel, welcome back but so sorry to hear the news! Get well soon!
Roger, sorry about the legs.
Got my stitches out. Now when I walk my foot itches a *lot*. Maybe sympathy for Kel and Roger?
Only one of my dogs panicked last night. Nothing like having an 80 lb dog lying on top of you and panting like crazy.
Have a good day.0 -
Good morning.
Lynmar, was the panic from a thunderstorm? Have you seen the jackets they have for pets?
Glad you got your stitches out. I think they are itchy when healing. I get mine out on the 15th.
All is well. Going to clay class today.
Happy Tuesday, everyone. 0 -
Hi all
E, shows you how messed up I am. I meant "night before last: 4th of July".
They have Thundershirts or something like that. I'm not convinced he would be comforted by it because does not like to be held closely. He's an independent breed. Affectionate in his own way.
Enjoy clay class.
Have a good day.

yup have creams too, one prescription steroid, one otc cortizone and then the benedryl lotions. my son just picked up some Ivarest for me which is supposed to be really good for this stuff too. i think i'm finally starting to see a vague glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel... slightly less munching of benedryl pills and less itching, just still plenty of burning lol
have some new spots cropping up... i'm hoping these are the last spots. thankfully these ones don't appear to be blistering as well, just the nasty itchy burning red rash.
glad to hear everyone is recouping from their surgeries hopefully i'll be able to get back on track starting this weekend. just hurt too damn much to try to plan and cook right now since there aren't many of the foods i like (and are filling enough) without some extra cooking
lots of huggs

Lynmar...I think those were what I was thinking of. Clay class was fun. I accidentally broke what I made last week, so just did some glazing and tried a new way to make a cup. Everything I do is an experiment.
Kel, sounds like you're covered...literally. Glad you're starting to feel better. Should be healing up as long as the oozing has stopped. Do Not Scratch! Wear oven mitts if you have to. Also good to keep cool if you can, so good idea not to cook.
Sleep well and feel better, everyone. We are some crew!
