    Thanks, Roger.
    Sometimes Docs don't really know what's going on with someone, especially if you're new to them. I sure hope I can get some good information and make things a little better. The new doc seems smart and consciencious. That's always a good thing.
    Cheers. :)

    Hi all.

    Kel, that's my dogs running around every time I get close to the kitchen. Most of my cats just sit, stare bullets, and occasionally meow; however, two of them know that "treatment" won't work and keep jumping into and out of my lap - especially when I'm on my cell or tablet as I was yesterday.

    E and Roger, we have kudzu pretty bad. It will kill anything and everything. Impossible to get rid of it. I try to keep it out of my cherry hedges but that is starting to be too much work for me. :(

    Take care and have a good day. One more day before the weekend.

    Lynmar, I just looked up kudzu....very hard to get rid of, they suggested cutting or burning and then applying chemicals. Said it could take up to 10 years to get rid of it. Yikes. That's invasive....some of the pictures were showing trees, buildings, etc fully overgrown! Double yikes!

    E, I remember the last time I was able to drive up to N. C. - about 10 years ago - driving and looking at the side of the road and seeing acres and acres of tall, tall forests completely covered with it.You couldn't see the trees at all. It reminded me of a horror movie where the swamp creature comes up dripping with green growth. It's a wonder I didn't have nightmares.
    Have a good night.

    Good morning!
    It's a beautiful morning here. Not too hot yet, sunny, birds chirping away.
    Happy Saturday. :)

    Hi all.
    I hope everyone had a good Saturday. I didn't do much but rest. I'm almost caught up on laundry. Next to tackle housework. Got awfully far behind while in my 8 weeks of pt.
    Have a good Sunday.

    Hi Lynmar....can you afford to hire someone to help with housework? I'm getting behind on mine too. I've been thinking about it.
    Sleep well.

    Hi All
    I'm back from walking to the produce store. It was a lot harder walking back carrying the few things I bought too. The Humidity is atrocious! All I bought was 2 lettuce, 5 Green Bananas and a Red onion. By the time I am ready to use those bananas they will be ripe. I was out walking last night around 9:50 to 10:30 too. Rain is in the forecast for later today and Monday and into Tuesday so I did my walking this morning despite it being in the high 70s and humid.

    Have A Good Sunday
    Roger

    Hi all.
    E, I had thought about hiring someone but it's always such a hassle with the animals. :(
    Roger, I would take high 70's and humid any day. Our heat index was 84 at 6:30 this morning. I was thinking about going for a short walk but I have doctor appointments the next two days so don't want to get too tired.
    Kel, I hope you're doing ok.
    If I didn't live where it's not allowed I could always get a cute goat or something to keep the kudzu down. I have two flock guards so it would fit in nicely. :D
    Have a good day.

    Good luck with your Dr. appts, Lynmar.
    There are a lot of cute goats...too bad you can't get one.

    Good morning.
    Back from yoga. T-storms last night and some expected rain for most of the next 10 days. Kind of back and forth between sunny and cloudy now. Just have some errands to run today, maybe some cleaning, I'll see how I feel. :wink:
    Enjoy the day!

    Hi All
    I am officially unhappy now. :'(
    I went to the Basement for something and my Feet went splish in water.
    I just finished sucking up most of the water for now with a wet dry shop vac. Then I went out and threw a tarp over the side basement window for now. I hope that does the job!

    Thunder Storms last evening and this morning, Along with a torrential rain that was too much for the gutters too.
    More rain in the forecast for later on today and in to tomorrow, hence the Tarping. It seems that the the window well cover is damaged.

    I will be monitoring it since the water will keep seeping in for a little while too. I caught it before it hit the Freezer, Furnace or water heater Fortunately.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    BTW before I forget, Did anyone See the News this morning about the Fish (Carp) swimming on the street in Newark, NJ?
    VIDEO: Fish rescued from sewer drain in Newark | 7online.com

    3 hours ago ... Fish tried to swim up a street in Newark Monday after heavy rain caused water to overflow at a lake in Weequahic Park.
    The Video has an advertisement at the start of it.

    Roger, that's crazy with the fish swimming up into the road. I'm surprised more people weren't there to get a fresh dinner.
    The basement of my family's old house in NJ used to get water in it all the time. I remember getting on boots and just taking buckets of water up the stairs. It had originally been a dirt floor, and my father put in cement for the floor. It still flooded whenever there was a lot of rain, just wasn't as dirty and hard to deal with. It was an old house from the 1800s. Sorry you have to deal with it.

    Hi all.
    E, awwww. So cute. Where I used to board my horse (when I had one) they had goats. Except for being messy - had to be pretty careful where you stepped :o - they are kind of sweet.
    Roger, sorry about your basement! I'm sure glad you caught it. We don't have basements down here. Dig a few feet and you hit the water table.
    Well, I was going to walk one of my dogs for her 2nd birthday present. Had to cancel out. I went to Costco and bought about 150lb of pet food and litter. By the time I pushed the cart from the far end of the store to the front of the store where I had it loaded I was too tired to do anything else. Still pretty tired. I can get the two 40lb dog food bags in tomorrow. The 42lb litter can wait until I need it. I got the rest in today. Don't think I'll have any problem sleeping tonight.
    Have a good night.

    Lynmar, that's a lot of pet food! How often do you have to get that much. I think just taking care of all the pets would tire me out!
    Hope your energy levels pick up. Having some fatigue issues too.
    Sleep well everyone. :smile:

    Hi
    I have been there and done that in the past, not so much now with weight lost so far.
    I tend to put a couple of Milk Crates in the trunk when I go to Costco. The Handles on the ends make them easier to bring in.

    Cheers

    Hi all.
    Kel, I'm very sorry about your stepfather.

    E, I hope you get more energy soon.
    The dogs will go through the 80lb of food in about a month. The cat food, etc. will last longer.

    Roger, how's the basement? Why did they change the Chef's Table(?) stuff? It was really good.

    I've got to go get one of the dog food bags in. I have to separate it into two bags each since I can't lift 40lb into an old chest freezer any more.

    Have a good day.

    Good night Kel, Roger and Lynmar.
    Brought home a vase and a rectangular piece of pottery today...they came out nicely. Yay! Painted up some more of my pieces today.
    Sleep well. Be healthy. :)
