Joe’s rx wasn’t ready so he’ll go into town tomorrow to pick it up. Hope getting out of the house lifts his spirits a little. Also will be grateful for the chance to do some vacuuming and laundry without adding to his discomfort.

Faye thank you for sharing your story. Warrioress indeed!
Tracey Gnomies hahahahahahaha
Katla that’s what Joe recommends, but I’ve been reluctant. Have been placing my (false) hopes on a mace lanyard. I’ll have to reconsider.
Vicki “feel like I am taking a test and I am failing.”  Have you had test anxiety in any other situations?
Heather Love ‘em! Thanks.
Michele it looks like part of a rotisserie to me.
Rebecca Athena Rose gets cuter every day. Still in the shop? :noway:
Beth bug and windshield made me laugh then think, that would be a hard marriage to sustain.
Tina your knife sharpener reminded me of one of my favorite gifts from Joe: a magnetized, screw driver with various heads (blade, Philips, torx) and led light. Would you share your apple cider donut bread recipe?

Yesterday’s massage and today’s chiropractic appointment left me feeling a bit beaten. Time for an Advil and early to bed.

Lighter, lovelies!

Hi nice walk @Machka9 !

Just got a mail from assistant director saying not to come to school if we have any Covid symptoms.
The main ones are
fever- no
dry cough - sometimes
fatigue - often

I have allergies and its not rare that i have a mild occasional cough; Fatigue is not rare at all!
Less common symptoms are
achiness - occasionally
sore throat-sometimes
the runs -sometimes
conjonctivites -no
headache - no
loss of smell or taste - no
rash - occasionally

Of course I can't stay home every time I feel tired. I feel tired at some point most if not every day, and some days quite tired. It's been like that for a few years at least.
Instructions that are impossible to follow.

Second walk ... to the beach after work ...

First, Rhody hops up on the bed and purrs loudly. Then he walks up to my face or my husband's face and gives us a solid, damp, whiskery dab on the nose with his nose, at which point we reach out and pat him. Then he picks something up from the night table and drops it on the floor and hops down to have a look at it. While he's on the floor, he might as well check if there are any stray feet hanging out and give them a bit of a claw ...

M in Oz What beautiful walks! Still unable to walk here with bad air. Love the photos of the garden walk.

Air Quality It is as bad as it has ever been Online has 188 on one site as it has been for days and 208 on another. All I know is I woke up to a stronger smell of smoke and my nose burning. I briefly checked the outside and it is horrible.

Portland has the worst air quality in the world this morning according to the AQI trackers. I don't think upriver air is any better. I found this map and I had no idea there were this many fires in my area.

Michele It looks like it is off of a meat rotisserie, although the prongs look very heavy and close together for even an industrial rotisserie. The notches in it indicate it was maybe adjustable for reach.

AQI 148!!! This is BETTER!!! (AQI=Air Quality Index) We are west of Portland. Our weather forecast says possible thunder and lightning at about 1pm. That might be exciting.

Barbara: I’d not only carry the gun, but I’d practice with it before walking the dog. It has been a while since we used our guns, so I am definitely out of practice. Your safety is at risk. Back when the cougar was roaming here, It too some dogs right off the leash while their owners were walking them.

(((Bananas))): I hope you feel better. :flowerforyou:

Machka: Six ways to wake a human is hilarious. :bigsmile:

Pip: I’m curious about your pup’s head gear.


I am frustrated with the Vet’s office staff. I called in for an appointment yesterday & was told to be there at a set time today. I was there with the dog. The staff said that Dr. F wouldn’t be in until later and I should come back tomorrow at 11am and wait for a turn. :ohwell:

Lighter, lovelies!

I used plain whole milk Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

Here is the link to the recipe. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/apple-cider-doughnut-loaf-cake

It's delicious and freezes well.
