    (((Machka))): Waiting for test results is stressful in my experience. Sending good thoughts both you & your DH. :flowerforyou:

    Meg: It is so good to see you again. It appears that you have plenty to keep you busy. !.44 FTE is a heavy load. It is good that your DH will be able to pick up your grocery orders. :star:


    We woke up to hot coffee in our new coffeemaker. It was delicious but and more zingy than we’ve been used to drinking. The old coffee maker had become problematic. We’re debating donating the old pot to the senior center thrift store. The other option is to drop it off at the recycle center. I’m leaning toward the recycle center. DH is on the fence.

    Machka - Oh my, good news, but still troubling as there is not an answer. Sleep well.

    Matchka- glad you finally got to go home. Hope things turn out well.

    Meg- good to see you again. Wow you have a heavy work load there.

    Penny - loved the paddock for the horses.

    DGD was here last night. It was good to see her. Haven't seen her since Christmas. She picked out some yarn colors and I have started an Afghan for her. She has been diagnosed with PCOS and is having a really hard time with her weight but she has started swimming again and I hope that will help some. She is also teaching swim lessons and really enjoying it especially the littles as she calls them, 3 and 4 year olds.

    Everyone take care Sue in WA

    3 am and he's gone for a CT scan for aortic aneurysm. Possibly.

    5 am ... still here. I've been up 21 hours now.

    Hoping the results come soon.

    I hope everything is ok. Please take care of yourself, as well. 😍

    (((Beth near Buffalo))): I am so sorry for your loss. :broken_heart::heart:

    Machka: Sending good thoughts for your DH. More than 21 hours waiting for news is stressful. I hope the CT scan gives you good results. :star:


    One of our grandchildren is currently in the hospital for tests. We are waiting anxiously and hoping for positive news. Our son and daughter in law are with him. I don’t expect to hear anything for a while.

    What good news M!! At least you know what it's NOT. But waiting for a definite answer can also be very unnerving. Be sure to be good to yourself, too.

    <3Machka, What an ordeal for you and your husband. I hope you are both getting some much needed sleep.

    :) Somehow my nicely choreographed day got overfilled so now I am enjoying a much needed rest at the computer to visit with all of you.

    :) Our grocery store intends to continue curbside pickup even when people are feeling safer going into stores.. We plan to continue. We like it better than going into the store.

    My son did not have a will and while his estate is very small ... we have to go through surrogates court for my husband to be named the natural guardian of his estate. And, of course, nothing is moving fast in the courts due to Covid. Each morning I get on the computer and open up my son's banking accounts to make certain something hasn't slipped past us and been debited from his account. Such a pain, but by doing so, I have been able to reverse several charges that should not be occurring now that he is deceased.

    It was a hard week for my husband, son and I. We're all down. Cold, rainy weather isn't helping.

    Barbie .... spiritual growth experience when allowing husband to share your computer ... :D

    Beth please accept my condolences. This must be so hard for you. Please take some time for yourself to grieve and remember.

    Thinking of all of you who are going through trials of love. Husbands, children, grandchildren, and all those who are close to us. I sometimes think it is easier to be the one suffering than to be the one who loves. Not knowing is the worst.

    I've woken up early, which is why I'm writing to you. But I'm glad to be feeling that I'm over the worst of the post-jab lurgy. DH didn't have any reaction, apart from a slightly sore arm, either time. I felt fluey last time, and yesterday slightly more so, and needed to take painkillers. This morning, apart from waking up early, I feel much better.
    Hooray!
    Next week I may venture into town and enter a shop, suitably masked. I need pyjama bottoms. My efforts to buy online were not a huge success.

    Still working on my LPA and information sheet. I'm at the point where I need to print the LPA off and send it out to be signed by all the various parties. It has to be done in the right order. Then it has to be sent off to the authorities.
    I haven't decided about the health directive, but will look into it. I will write down my wishes on my info sheet. I might have to make one because DH is not really able to make those kinds of decisions. But I don't know who to choose.

    Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    17: Go exploring around your local area and notice new things: will do on beach stroll with T Sat am.
    Called Care Credit for missing statement. Automated system fed to a promotion where poor girl could not deviate from script. Hung up, called same number, all options fed to one promotion or another. Found another number, on hold for 15 mins call dropped. Called again, this time after 20 mins got to a real person who advised the statement in question was only generated 4/11 and will take 7-10 biz days to arrive at which time payment will be due May 4. Feel they’re forcing me to e-statements. Grr.
    Spent most of the day on phone, barely got dogs down the drive, steps down, lovely dinner with C, CI way over CO.

    Machka joining the prayer brigade for your DH and you. Inconclusive tests are troubling. Hope you both rest well this weekend and his GP will see him immediately.
    Penny avalanche evacuated neighborhoods: seems like no matter where you live it’s something, hurricanes, wildfire, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, but avalanches, that’s new to me.
    Karen :love: Olivia :heart: :heart: :heart: a starry unicorn shirt for a miracle baby all grown up :heart: :love:
    Lisa “ten aways” :laugh:
    Allie and CJ when my iphone started failing to charge a new battery solved the problem for about two years. Then I got a new phone. Prayers for CJ's DGD’s healthcare team, her family and her complete recovery.
    Rebecca love your perspective on thankful deer :laugh:
    Meg hoping this weekend is restful and restorative, that is quite a workload.
    KJ what are you building?
    Barbie not being able to help Jake with his new Apple might be a good thing… ;)
    Pip aha! So that’s where my sea otters were this morning. They sure weren’t in their normal playground. https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/live-cams/sea-otter-cam
    Katla praying your grandhild’s tests discover the issue is quickly and easily cured.
    Welcome @yellowsnowdrop. Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale?
    Michele do you have pill pockets for Bonnie’s chemo?
    Beth ((hugs))

    Lighter, lovelies!
