@shanaber yeah the whole family got it.
Our girls friend who lives across the street got it Thursday week ago. Jessica and Katie were at my mums for Easter weekend, and Katie started getting a runny nose on Monday. Tested her Tuesday, positive. My mum tested positive on Tuesday as well (symptomatic by then) Tested Jessica Wednesday, positive. I was OK but very tired, had had an awful weekend Easter weekend with 18 call outs to work. Assumed it was that. At 12 on Wed I was exhausted walking from the ward back to the department. Talked with my boss about it. My rapid tests were all negative at this point. Decided to go home. By Wed night I was full body aches, headache etc. Rapid was positive Thursday morning. Ian had avoided it but was positive on Saturday.
NZ were so lucky. We didn't have covid for basically 2 years. The Omicron hit and its just swept through.
I seem to be on the mend. Down to a cold now. Though I get tired so fast.4 -
@Avidkeo I hope all of your family is on the mend by now. Omicron does seem to spread so must faster and doesn't really care if you had the vaccine or not....at least it feels that way.0
-
@Avidkeo - I hope everyone is feeling better and no one has any long coved issues!
I have to say we kind of feel like unicorns in that we have remained covid free. But then we don't have kids at home and really don't go out much. We are also continuing to mask up regardless of the mandates and rules being lifted. I have actually been pleasantly surprised at ho many people are still masking inside the stores.
Had a lovely, very short visit with our dd. It was more than we expected as she was actually coming to see a friend and we figured we would just see her for a few hours before taking her to meet up with her friend. She ended up spending Friday afternoon and night with us and we took her up to her friend's around lunch time. We got take out from our favorite taco place Friday night and donuts on Saturday morning. She and I had a really nice walk where we could talk about all the things.
Today I took a hike/walk with a young friend from Agility class and her pup. We have known her and Jeep for almost 9 years and never had the pups together outside of class although we have talked about it. We met up at a trail around a lake 15-20 minutes from my house that I never even knew existed. It was nice and even a little chilly with the wind blowing so hard but it was 80F by 9am! The next few days are supposed to be blistering hot again. Ugh...2 -
@shanaber Glad your daughter stayed longer than expected and you had such a nice visit with her and your friend from agility class.

@swenson19d - how are the pups doing and that new little kitty?0
-
Okay. Kev is at training another week. Sandy is over her poops but has a sore on her side. I swear its a bot fly. I'll call the vet today. Maybe Should have gone to vet school instead. Baby cat tater tot Malory is doing good. Playing, romping, and being cuddly. She loves Bear and Cori. Bear had been her protector. She still has poops but is still on meds, 2 twice a day. Scratches anyone?@swenson19d - how are the pups doing and that new little kitty?
I'm working on finals and violin for a thing... uh a recital. Love it when words escape you? I am suppose to record myself since it all sounds like notes to me and not music. Perhaps I'll, Ok I will share it. It won't be perfect. I was very slow to get my anxiety down and confidence up. So... ya know and I have a thing where I get overstimulated and I have that sensory processing thing that goes with ASD. I feel like I hyper focus on everything and it become unintelligible in my head.
Ive been up since 230. No Idea why. Fingers crossed the vet can get me in today. Ima obsess over the BOT FLY. But i'm trying to leave it alone. Occasionally Sandy will jump up like something is getting her... grrrr. Bot flys are cool (ish) but I don't want one in my dog.
ETA
Ive been working with Sandy since I dont have Kev in the way. Yesterday we started Find It- with my shoes. she did good. Service dog!!! Trainer said Kev won't make it as a therapy dog if he cant control that barker. haha! she took him out and he barks in the car at people and other dogs. haha! I said "I Know Isnt IT CUUUTE!" its a social no-no for doggos. dern. I liked the car barker. Maybe it'll help them not bark at walkers. I have no idea how to curtail that in the old dog. Leash and drag her but inside I guess. Squirt bottle worked well with her too.

I'm glad that the pets are doing well @swenson19d . It is hard to make them quit something they shouldn't do that you think is cute. I, personally, hate it when Tippy barks in the car/truck at other dogs. It hurts my ears. Tippy loves to play "find it," but I don't do it with her enough and she's over it after 2 or three times. Good luck with the violin recital. Looking forward to hearing your piece.0

I found 3 treats that she loves. Both dogs are food driven and I get 110% focus when we are learning. Chicken jerky, freeze dried chicken, and chicken cranberry treats all from Whole Hearted. She knows its serious when I get these out. Baby cat had eaten most of the freeze dried chicken. She is so picky. Some day she'll eat better and I miss the cat crunchy treat days as food.
Yesterday DD told sandy "get out of the kitchen Sandy" in the calmest voice and out she went. Dh is the only one who violates the feeding rules and wonders why Sandy is on him when he has food. Sandy's bark is nice and deep. Kevin has a higher pitch and you can feel his bark pierce your ears. So hopefully we dial that back.

Hi @swenson19d! Love the pictures and how well all the critters get along. Mallory cat has beautiful markings and such a sweet face ❤️
I hope you got an answer to Sandy's wound. I had to look up Bot Fly - seems they are pretty rare in the US. There was a case in FL though of a moment that got one in her groin while on her honeymoon in Belize and they had to remove it surgically - yikes!
I have taught Hobbes 'no bark' sort of... I use it at home (gardeners, mailman, etc.) and in the car. Mostly I need to see the person he will bark at when we are in the car and tell him no bark and when he doesn't he gets a treat. He still wants to bark at home, guarding the house, but at least I can get him to his bed and calmer than before. He will also bark if he hears delivery trucks on the street whether they are at our house or not. Interestingly he never barks at them or the mailman when we see them outside. I really wish it were something I had worked on when he was younger. That and training not to go crazy with the doorbell or a knock...
Hope the recital goes well and looking forward to seeing the video! I was listening to a podcast the other day and thought of you. They were talking about things you can do to keep your mind healthy and holding off dementia - learning a new language and learning a musical instrument were at the top of the recommendations.
Good luck with your finals! I am sure you will do great!2 -
@swenson19d Tippy is very food driven too. Love the pictures of Sandy and Mallory. They are too cute.
@shanaber I wish I had worked on no bark and "come." She does the latter if she feels like it. LOL0 -
@shanaber I’ll have to get info from the trainer, but I have no idea how to get the dogs to understand when it is appropriate to bark. Old Maggie seems to do it for fun. Sandy has a low growl before it becomes a bark, I guess I should “let’s go see” when she starts. But if I’m in bed… gurl, lay down and shhh. But she has to go check it out. I’ve taught her that. Maggie will just bark from a distance. If there is something out there, go get it and don’t just bark. Most of the time it’s nothing. Maybe stray cats or a possum. I’m trying to instill to leave the critters alone. Not sure how that will work. Last possum Kev did “leave it”. But I have to offer a treat. Just say treat and they are headed in the house… usually.
I’m stressing over the violin thing. I have to memorize it. Which I can do… just nervous. I’m playing with another adult and the rest are lil kids… WTH am I doing?
@quilteryoyo some breeds are bad about come. The boerboel is one of them. They just get sucked into their own worlds and don’t pay you any attention. I have to remember to give them 1-2 minutes for it to sink in and the feets to get moving! Prob never to late to work with treats.0 -
@RunsOnEspresso - loved the latest podcast! Wasn't sure where I could leave a comment but wanted to tell you that the volume was very inconsistent. I turned it up to hear you better, then the music came on SO LOUD! I literally jumped. Your points at the end were spot on!0
-
@swenson19d - Hobbes is good on come if there is a treat involved at the end. If he is distracted by a squirrel or something else it can take a bit. I still give a treat when he does eventually come.
With the barking, I don't mind the initial bark but want him to stop if I say enough or not bark at all if I say no bark. I am afraid his barking in the car will startle me and cause me to react inappropriately.
At agility class last night we used the e-collar set on vibrate and he was perfect for thee most part, we didn't even need to use it, he didn't even try to be a goat...
So saw the ortho today... apparently my injury is 'very unusual'! I told him I figure if you were going to do it, better do it right 😁
Seriously the break is a result of the force of the tendon being pulled against the bone, breaking it away. They can't 'fix' the bone break but he wants it to heal before they try to do any other correction. He has scheduled me for 4 weeks of PT after which if there is not significant improvement and pain reduction then he will schedule a surgical correction of the tear. By then the bone should be healed enough to support it. Still no lifting of anything significant (at least until PT allows it), limited housework and essentially nothing that causes any pain. Not sure how PT will work with no pain but we'll see.2 -
@shanaber That poor arm. Sounds like you did something to make the docs think rather than a routine injury. Eric is still not able to use his dominant arm, I can see how much you cant do and how uncomfortable it is. His doc has given him 2 scrips, 42 Norcos. swear. I told him to wean down to OTC. I was off them in 10-15 days with the leg and rod. I like it when the docs are stingy with the narcotics. Anyway, Ice cream is wonderful for broken bones, eh? extra calories for healing?
What's the e-collar? is it for barking? I need to get Sandy a training collar (pinch type). Shes going to be difficult and will bolt. She is refusing to get in her crate at night after shes given the chance to lay down with us, and won't settle- barks, wants to pay with cats... etc.1 -

Yah, I noticed the sound issue to when on podcast app but I swear it was consistent in the editing software. I will have to make some adjustments. Still learning the new editing software (website?).
Shadow doesn't bark a lot at people. Half the time she barely notices FedEx or Amazon dropped a package. What she does, and it's really annoying, is bark when she is SUPER excited. So when we are getting ready for a walk, run, or hike she will start barking and running around like a spaz. Or if she is about to have a zoomie and wants to play she will sit in front of me and start with a low growl and work up to a bark fest.3 -
@shanaber I hope PT doesn't hurt too much. When do you start?
0 -
@swenson19d - what was unusual about the injury was where the bone was broken - way up at the top of the humerus at the 'lesser tuberosity'. From what I have read online it is an unusual place for a break - not really someplace you would fall on or get hit. So I fell in such a way and with enough force for the tendon attachment there to break the bone.
The e-collar in this case is a collar that vibrates. Some of them actually can shock them but I would never use that. This particular one also can just beep. The beep was enough to make him jump and stop what he was doing. We have a similar one at home that works with a sensor - if the dog gets too close it beeps and if they don't move away it vibrates. We used it to teach Hobbes to stay away from the floor to ceiling windows at the front of the house.
Do you think Sandy is missing Kevin and doesn't want to be in the crate by herself? Maybe try covering it or giving her something in it to settle down with?
@RunsOnEspresso - we have dogs in agility class, Aussies mainly, that will do that barking when they want to run and even sometimes while they are running. It makes their owners crazy too. When Hobbes wants to play he will grab a toy, shake it violently then go into a downward dog pose and push the toy at us. If we move at all he will grab it and run... What a goof!
@quilteryoyo - I couldn't get an appointment until next Thursday but I have 3 scheduled. The scheduler was really worried about me doing PT with a broken bone but we'll see what the PT thinks. There must be something they can have me do so the joint doesn't get stiff but boy it sure does hurt when I do just about anything.

I'm sure the ortho wouldn't have set you up with PT if they couldn't do anything @shanaber . At least I would hope so. Maybe some gentle movements. It will be interesting to see what they say.0

Good morning!
I took the last 3 days off, 2 days of vacay and 1 day at court.
On my days off I chauffeured kitties around. I had to drive just over an hour to get black cat for his oncology consult. The Dr. was very nice and explained everything, I was impressed, we talked for at least 30 min...then DH pointed out we were charged $199 for those 30 min LOL. We are "lucky" that he only has small sell lymphoma and she said in cats when it is in their intestines it is typically caused by undiagnosed IBS. She also pointed out that it is the same in humans, high chronic inflammation is a likely cause of lymphoma cancer. But overall she is happy with how he is doing and we have lots of room to grow on dosage if/when the cancer spreads. We have to follow up every 3 months with her. Grey cat had his check-up too. Doc is happy with him and said it is the best we an expect. We are able to stop all eye drops since his eye is shrinking, he no longer has glaucoma, and he is just back to his pain and heart meds. His eye is still kinda creepy looking. It was enlarged for so many years it stretched out his eye socket and eye lids and so now that it has shrunk, everything is droopy.
I also did some solid sourcing for my business, I spent 6 hours in Goodwills and when I got home, my feet were pulsing. I even wore my old Hokas and they still hurt. Sales are still slow and it seems I will be equal to last month...which isn't bad but disappointing with the growth I have put in.
Going to start tracking calories today. It is getting to the point where I don't want to but I have to. Did not start off well with having Panang left over curry for breakfast LOL.
Well, best get to it!
1 -
I'm glad the kitties are doing better and you like the new oncologist vet @CMorning99 . You didn't mention how court went. My guess is nothing happened, again. I feel so bad for you. Good luck with tracking calories. You can do it.
I had my MRI (s) today. I had brain and eye orbs, with and without contrast, so it took around 1.5 hours in the machine. I'm so happy I asked for an open MRI. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise. Now to wait for the results. My follow up appointment with the neurologist is still a month away. I'm sure they will let me know if there is something that needs to be addressed before that.1 -
@quilteryoyo Do you have access to your medical records through an app? I can always see the radiologist report when it is posted. Of course, the rad report is often full of "that doesn't matter" to the docs and you have to sort through the results. I'd be nuts if I had to wait a month. Call for a radiologist report haha!
I gave dd some loose cash I had that amounted to 79$. She asked why so much. I told her it was because her birthday was coming up. She looked puzzled. Said "uh, its not til... OH. Crap", Yes dear, you will be 27 in a week. LOL! I know she tries to block it out and has started her antidepressant again. The blackness of depression has begun for both of us. I truly think that we feel how Alex felt leading up to his death. But cant reconcile the experience of cellular memory, or what have you, with meaning. Why does it matter? why do we feel so deeply? what is the evolutionary purpose of grief? I think it is an "existential crisis", but you can only have one if you have beliefs. and I maintain that I have few that I subscribe to, thus just a paradigm shift. I might try some meditation to classical Indian music (violin). maybe tai chi in the woods. Im planting some tiny trees that get 60 feet tall and 30 feet wide near my property line. walling off the outside world. 😍🤔😈. and using the cut cedar trunks as landscaping towards the ravine & low area. Dh and I talked about making a low spot (15feet deep) a pond for the dogs. But I worry about water moccasins.
Anyway, I think this year we (DD & I) are going to try to do stuff. Painting and drinking on the back porch with her friends, horseback riding, breakfast out, music festivals (suggested by violin instructor- I thought it was an invite, but dd said prob not), concerts etc... I told her to think of stuff. So if you have any ideas, please share. Eric thinks that we should do stuff Alex would have liked. But I disagree. It needs to be something of us. I ordered a reel push mower to keep me moving and doing something that frees my mind the way running does. It'll be here tomorrow. Dh thinks its dumb because we have the zero turn, which offers me zero therapy. 🙃. I had to explain it. 😌.
So glad the semester is winding down. I have 4 assignments left, one due today. I get a hair cut today. No idea what Im going to do. I want a long pixie. but kinda like the length, but it bugs me in the wind or when I am outside at all. Cuz OK blows and blows and blows.
Be well. Tell me all about your planned day/summer/ plans to manage life.
@rheddmobile I've seen a few videos on FB with racoons and wonder how your bunch are getting along. I need a pet racoon family. (a place in the hills, where all the aminals keep me company). Yes aminals. I think its part of my "regression". Stress or what have you, tends to cause me to revert to being about 7, speech wise. We had a pet squirryll named Warminer... I learned when I was about 29 that his name was Mortimer. haha! I thought he was just warm.
@RunsOnEspresso DH thinks I have an ADHD component. So I agreed to get another eval. First one the ASD was more of an issue and ADHD "not too bad". I've been toying with his meds to discern if they help, if I really need to get evaluated. They do help me in a sense that I am more focused. today is day 4. Only one day did I have the obsessive focus on something, cleaning. Dh gets hyper focused on porn. so could be the med. But I didnt mind it in my case, because it is productive. The other days I've just been "chill". The first day I drank a red bull and took ADHD med and took a 3 hour nap. sorry, long way of asking, should these meds make me calm? I imagined they'd give you energy. Dr Google had no real insight for me. Figure you may understand more. Today I just took the ADHD med and will half my antidepressant dose to see if that helps me stay awake. I just wanna zone and stare outside otherwise.
Not sorry this is so long (and thanks for the fish).1 -
Good morning!
It is Friday! I should take the first 3 days off of each week LOL
@quilteryoyo I did forget about the court, I guess it is now more of a routine appt
It was quick, I was fully expecting nothing to have happened. Surprisingly 2 of the doctors (the Court appoints 3) turned in their reports already...AND they conflict!?!? So that means that 1 doctor thinks he has a mental disorder, interesting. So we had to go through the whole list and see if there was another doctor available. They found one and so he now has 30 days to his evaluation. I am not sure what they are looking for. LS has already demonstrated he can participate in the trial so competency is not an issue. From the best of my research it looks like they have to prove 3 things: Does the person understand right from wrong? (would they commit the same crime if a police officer was right there); Do they understand the outcome of their actions (if you hit someone on the head they can die); Do they have reasonable impulse control of their actions. I suspect that they are going to try and use the last one as a "defense" for not guilty and if that does not work for leniency. I came across a 2 hr documentary inside a criminal mental hospital and those guys are freaking stereotypical nutz! I really suspect they are going to go more for maybe ADHD and obsessive and impulse issues. Although I was also reading that bipolar can also be used. I imagine it will be tough though, I don't think jurys really tie ADHD to murderous tendencies.
@swenson19d That is so frustrating try to figure out what is wrong.
I finally got into neurology, first available appt is in July...6 days before my referral expires.
Yesterday was generally unproductive at work. Boss dropped it at the last minute he is off today and I have to figure out how to do a report that is a hot mess. I did toy with MFP and looked over some of my older body scans and I had an RMR test done (the one where you have to sit and breath into a machine), to try and find a good number. A friend of mine started tracking this week again and she said she lost 3 lbs...grump. I also found a really old blog I started on MFP from 2013! Wow I don't even recognize that person in the blog. Smoothies everyday and working out 8x a week! I was also 25lbs lighter back then.
I thought about tracking yesterday but ended up eating restaurant leftovers for breakfast and getting frustrated with trying to find the calories. We also had to meet with our draftsman right before dinner so we stopped for sushi. We are making forward momentum on the house! The floor plan is done and we settled on a exterior type and roof. Our homework is to look at lighting so he can pass to the electrical engineer to balance the load. His next step is to get it to the soil engineer so we know what kind of foundation we need. I need to get the septic certified. I can't find any paperwork on them, I have a few photos of when they went in but that is it. The tanks are 30 years old so he said it may be cheaper to just replace them vs digging everything up to figure out what we have.
Nothing going on this weekend. Need to flush the tanks in the travel trailer and bring the truck up to base to get washed. I spent $200 to have my car washed and water spots taken off from the limestone sprinklers and the next day DH parked it in the driveway and it got dowsed. I give up.
Have a great weekend!

Uh, well, there's a bunch of different adhd meds and doses. I'm on a relatively low dose (10mg) of generic adderall. And of course all drugs affect people differently. The thing with adhd is stimulants usually have the opposite affect for adhd. Adderrall is basically meth but instead of hyperfocusong and running around trying to do everything all at once I can actually finish my filing at work or the laundry at home. I can actually do one thing and not a million things.
This is the assessment I took to my doctor. I had almost all in part a in the shaded boxes and several in b. I believe its 4 or more in a is more indicative with b and childhood history to determine.

Hey guys. Popping in again.
@swenson19 I thought the anniversary must be coming up soon. I agree, do something with DD that's for you two. Love the hitchhikers reference. I really need to read that series again.
I'm back from covid land. It really hit hard. I had weakness and fatigue for over a week. The weakness was awful, my knees felt like jelly and like they would give way any moment. Yesterday was the first day I felt normal, no real fatigue. I'm still taking it easy though.
I stepped on the scales today, and immediately fired up MFP. 75kg!i haven't been that high in years! So back on the wagon for a bit. I've let go the idea of getting down to 60kg. For now I want to get back to 70 lol. I'm not going to let it run my life though. It's more about being comfortable.
I'll go back and read to have a catch up. I see injuries and life continues to plague is all!1 -

Thanks for that. I think I am taking something similar to Ritalin. I have to go look. Being day 4 and just finding an assignment that is due today, yesterday. I was able to knock it out. I enjoyed the assignment, I used the text and it made sense. I wasn't up and down every 3 sentences. So Ill try the assessment you linked, then prob monday contact the ADHD folks. thanks.
ETA I scored 12... 😊0 -
@swenson19d I do have access to my medical records through a patient portal. They notify me when something new is posted, so I will look when it shows up. I can't wait that long either and fully expect a call when the doctor reviews it. If there is something, it probably isn't anything serious. When my late husband had an MRI and they found the mass on his brain, my doctor called the next day to tell us...maybe even the day he had it. I can't remember. Since I haven't gotten a call yet, I'm assuming all is good, or at least not serious.
Hugs on your grief. It's hard. I agree with others that you need to do something that DD enjoys.
Hugs to you also @CMorning99 . I hope they get on with the trial soon. The wait has to be so hard.
Glad you got a neurology appointment, but that is a long way off. Are you on the wait list in case someone cancels?
I've heard it is the thought that counts.
Hope you can begin tracking your food again. It is hard when you eat things you don't prepare. I tend to not log those days either and just cross my fingers that it wasn't too bad.
@Avidkeo It's great to see that you are feeling better! Sounds like you have a great attitude about your weight and where you want to be. You can do it. We're all pulling for you.

Hey all.
Today is my first day back at work after basically 2 weeks off for covid. My rapid test today is finally negative! I'm actually looking forward to going back today, nothing like forced boredom eh. And I'm starting with admin today which is good because I have to catch up with my students.
We have had others go down with it as well so will be really short staffed. As always of course lol.3 -
@swenson19d - I hope you and DD find special things to do, just for the 2 of you. My dd and I love to get massages or mani/pedi's go to lunch and even a movie. I would love to go to a concert again with her but we never seem to be in the right place at a time when a group is playing that we both would want to see. Also maybe take a trip together somewhere.. doesn't have to be far, stay in a hotel, hang out by the pool, wander around sightseeing/shopping, eat ice cream... just be together.
@quilteryoyo - I hope you get good news from your MRI and there is nothing concerning!
@Avidkeo - So glad you are feeling better and want to be getting back to work. One of our close friends went to dinner with her sister and BIL at Disney last week (BIL works for Disney) and of course no one was masked. A few days later she was sick and tested positive. Fortunately she is vaccinated and boosted so hopefully it will be a mild case too.
To answer your question @swenson19d - we don't have a lot of plans for the summer. We are driving to Seattle and Portland in June with plans to be at dd's for Father's Day weekend. We are going to stop, on the way up, in Portland to see dd's college roommate and her family. She just had a 2nd little girl. On the way back we are going to stop at another friend's son's pot farm. Dh wants to see how it is set up and how it all works. It is a legal, established business, selling to a processor who then distributes through legal stores. Should be interesting and we love the son. He's a great kid and it is good to see him being successful as a businessman.
In July it will be our 45th anniversary! We had planned to go on a cruise in Europe but that isn't going to happen this year so instead we are going to SF where we originally went on our honeymoon. Back then we couldn't afford to even stay in a hotel and stayed with friends in the East Bay so this time we are staying at a fancy hotel downtown and plan to visit some of the museums we love there as well as some of the touristy places.
I went out for a run today and while it was lovely out, it was awful. I was in so much pain. I really wanted it to be like Friday's run... I walked a lot and stopped 3-4 times hoping for the pain to subside. I sat on a bench for a while and just hugged Hobbes and cried, I was so frustrated. I am glad there weren't many people out and that Hobbes was very willing to just lean in and let me hug him... I'm going to break down and take some Tylenol tonight and go back out tomorrow, even if it is just all walking. I need to just lower my expectations for a while I guess.3 -
@Avidkeo I'm really glad that you are feeling better. Continue to take it easy and rest when needed.
Hugs @shanaber . That must be really frustrating. I'm glad Hobbes was more than willing to give you all the hugs you needed. I hope the Tylenol helped and you feel better today. Hopefully the PT will have some good advice for you that will let you be active without as much pain.
