    Good morning.
    Cloudy, with a high of 66 today. Getting my hair done today....maybe try a style for the upcoming wedding. The rest of my day is free.
    Roger, I'm not really that busy...Tuesdays are full...they tire me out. Some days I do nothing! I try to keep busy, because I usually feel better if I don't just sit around. :wink: I'm glad you're feeling a little better.
    Hi Irene and Jo.
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. :)
    Hello Vix
    Ah ha, I smell a Beehive hairdo coming up :wink:

    I am now trying to install the new key to renew my Norton AV, They have changed it again, Wish me luck.

    Doing Nothing sounds good to me some days. Today I need to plant some things since I can bend down better than my brother.

    Have a Good Day

    Roger-good luck with your test results.
    The weather here has been beautiful for the last 2 days, 70 yesterday and 68 today.
    Hi Irene and Vix.
    Have a good afternoon. :)
    Hello Joanne
    I am tired of the delay getting results. I know they were read at the hospital, now if the darn doctor would look at them and communicate with me.

    Our weather today is forecast to be in the 50s and it never did hit 70 yesterday, oh well.

    Enjoy Your good weather

    Hi all.
    My hairdresser cancelled on me yesterday, so I'll probably be seeing her some time next week.
    Haha...no beehive for me.
    Went to my painting class today and then babysat in the afternoon.
    Roger, sorry you haven't gotten your results back yet...waiting is the worst....though, usually if they don't hurry to call, it's good news.
    Irene...relax, your body is telling you to take it easy. ;)
    Jo, it's been kind of nice here too, other than being a little cloudy today, it warmed up nicely this afternoon.
    Happy Thursday, everyone. :)

    Humor was posted early today

    Hi
    It is 57 degrees outside. There appears to be a light drizzle outside and the day is gloomy looking. However the forecast is for the highs to be around 79 degrees.

    I had a call from the nice Young lady at the doctors office I spoke to the other day and she said that the hospital had not yet released the results to them and that she would keep an eye out for the results and let me know. She sounds young anyway :smiley:

    Hello Irene
    We, My brother and I need to get some things planted if nothing else gets done today and Tomorrow is showing 0% chance of rain for Saturday according to this mornings NYC weather forecast :smile:

    I hope it is good news, However No way to tell if You look at what I wrote this morning :(

    I have been suffering a energy shortage myself. Even the coffee I drank earlier is a leftover from the pot my brother brewed.

    Hopefully I will perk up later today and get things done such as my overdue laundry. A few more days and that will be critical.

    Have a Good Day

    Hello Vix
    I had a mental image of Your hairdresser stamping You with a big rubber stamp that says Canceled :wink: Have I mentioned that I sometimes have a warped sense of humor ?

    I can only hope it is good news, I am getting conflicting reports when I call the doctors office, To the effect that they have not yet received the test results or that they have them and the doctor has not looked at them yet, What the heck :(

    I tend to listen to what my body tells me.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning.
    Rainy day today, with showers and possible t-storms. Off to the chiropractor this a.m. No other specific plans. Could do some cleaning/laundry/etc.
    Went out to dinner last night, had a grilled artichoke and palm heart spinach salad. It was pretty good.
    Good luck planting, Roger.
    Wonder if it's the weather causing the energy shortage...I almost fell asleep yesterday afternoon.
    Good luck with the PT and yard work, Irene.
    Hope you are still getting good weather, Jo. We've got rain forecast for the next several days.

    What are you planting this year?

    I posted more humor a short while ago

    Hi
    It is 59 degrees outside. There appears to have been a light drizzle overnight based on the street being wet except under trees where is dry and the day is gloomy looking. However the forecast is for today to be dry.

    Update: I had a call Yesterday afternoon from the Patient records section at the hospital and if I go in person with photo ID I can get a copy of the test results. The call came to late to go Friday and the next day they are open is Monday. Progress of a sort.

    Hello Irene
    All the rain we have been having can not have helped when You went to rake. Hopefully the weather co operates today as forecast last night.

    Crazy, sort of, Frustrated to say the least, I do see a light at the end of the Monday Tunnel.

    Hello Vix
    I need to do cleaning and Laundry too, Motivation is lacking. Hmm... Weather may be contributing, in part by interfering with my sleep.

    That does sound like a tasty salad, Any dressing ?

    Plan for today is my brother drags out the tiller and I get some planting done afterwards.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hello Joanne
    Yesterday was damp with off and on drizzle throughout the day it did get to 70 OTOH. Today is supposed to be dry as we head into a wet forecast for Mothers Day.

    Hopefully Monday I will get the results and be able to decipher what they say :smiley:

    Motivation, What is that ?

    Have a Great Day

    Good morning.
    Roger, the salad had a vinegrette dressing. Glad you can get your test results Monday.
    I think it's supposed to be rainy here again, though cooler then yesterday, only getting up to 62.
    Hi Jo and Irene.
    There's a Preakness festival this weekend and they're supposed to be sending off hot air balloons at the Howard Co. Fairgrounds. We may go if the weather cooperates.
    I did laundry, but didn't clean yesterday, so may try to do that before we go.
    Happy Weekend, everyone. :)

    Hello Vix
    I hope they told me the truth, Anyway the hospital is a maze. My brother thinks he knows where it is, near the nutritionist he sees monthly. He is driving me Monday, The mid day parking can be a bit of a trek to the main entrance so just playing safe he will drop me by the entrance and then park the truck.

    Our weather looks to be below normal and wet for the next several days.

    Not surprising that the weather is too wet especially for hot air balloons. Rain can add a substantial weight to them.

    I was surprised that we are in a Helium shortage and that it is needed for certain things such as MRI machines. We have been squandering it in balloons and from what the news broadcast said there are only three suppliers and no way to manufacture it if (when) it runs out.

    Have a Happy Mother Day

    Hello Irene
    Yesterday my brother tilled the garden beds and picked up topsoil, organic fertilizer and more while I planted the Dahlias we saved over winter from last year, There was a bit of a rush to get it done due to the forecast.

    Getting the garden ready has been tough due to the rain, too much or too often.

    Happy Mother's Day!
    It is currently raining here. I ran outside with my daughter this morning before the rain.
    I managed to do .58 of a mile. It is a start. We then went into the gym and I did 2 miles on the elliptical and some of the weight machines.
    My daughter took me to tea yesterday for Mother's day. It was fun. Today we had planned on going to SOWA market, but it was cancelled. So no plans for today. Hubby is working. They have a big project that needs to get done by Wednesday, so he has been putting in a lot of overtime.
    Roger-good luck with getting you test results on Monday. I would have thought the Dr. would call you with the results. Is this a doctor you have been going to for a while or someone new?
    I think I would lodge a complaint.
    Vix-The hot air balloon festival sounds like fun, I hope you get to go tomorrow.

    Hello Joanne
    OK, Weather cancellation for the SOWA Market ? I am tired of the rain and it is delaying the vegetable garden planting for my brother.

    Congratulations of the running and Gym exercise.

    This is a doctor that was brought in based on the Catscan that led to the MRI to the testing. Things happened fast the first day. It ran in order, My local Doctor to ER to Catscan to Emergency surgery to wanting a closer look thus a MRI. That led to another test a few days later on the 30th, once they could fit it in, Too many MRIs needed and not enough MRI machines :(

    This is what I see for the doctor and they have a office around the corner from the hospital.
    Since I do not know surgeons or GI doctors....

    FWIW the Surgeon that did the emergency surgery was brought in by the hospital too.

    I am hopeful, then with them I may need to research what they say on the Internet, I suspect a lot of technical terms and jargon.

    Did You look at some of the plastic ones or just go with wood again. If wood I would have went with one that is rot and insect resistant.

    Hi Vix
    As far as I know they either replace the joint or in the case of a torn Cartilage they remove the torn part.

    They have a Quick Chek Balloon festival later in the year, I do not recall rain cancellations for that, Maybe less rain at that time of year ?

    Our Garden work is getting rained out and the lawn is about due to be mowed again, much to wet right now.

    I am thinking about just buying a new blade for it, The Cost on Amazon is near the price of having it sharpened & balanced or buying the apparatus to do it ourselves.

    Have a great day everyone.
    I hope You are right, Currently the plan is for my brother to run me out and then hit the Grocery store on the way home since we will be passing it.

    And now the rain has stopped again. The grocery store main item needs a rain free period to keep the 3 cases of water from getting water build up in them. 3 for $6 is to good a price to pass up even though we do not need them this week.

    Interesting, a Jeep Tour, I wonder if they are using modern jeeps or the Old classical WWII jeeps ?

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger
