    Well husband takes me to the on base clinic pharmacy to get my blood pressure meds. I get those and go to the family practice window to make an appointment. They show me to the door down the hall where the appointments are made. Talk to that guy and he asked the reason, I say UTI. He said he'll have a gal come to talk to me, no appointment needed. So I wait and then a gal comes and we sit off to the side. I answer her questions, go down the hall to give urine sample. They call me 5 minutes after we get home. Tomorrow I get the meds for that. Easy peasy. The perks of my husband being in the military for 20 are apparent!👍💖

    Well my parents made it home from the eye doctor. My dad had his eyes dilated but drove home anyway. At least they said next time they would ask me to help.

    Teddy is home from getting three teeth extracted. He is still wobbly, and I think he needs a good nap before he tries the back steps.

    And I made an appointment to get a new phone on Friday. And a dentist appointment for January. I don't know which is more scary.

    So it wasn't a bad day after all my worrying.

    Worked then came home and made manicotti to have when Steve is here. I try to have some sort of casserole the day he gets here because you never know the time. Not going to log today but will be careful of what I eat

    I don’t ever recall having a toddler bed for any of the kids. Then again, the crib had a door so if they wanted to get out, they could. I seem to recall they went directly from the crib to a regular bed.

    Called Denise and left a message (again) to give us a call. I’d like to ask her if she’ll come down this holiday season since we couldn’t go up there in September (Pete had covid). She’ll say “no”, I’m sure of it But at least I asked

    Pip – you may be retired, but before you retired, where did you find the time to work?

    Tracey – how I know the smell sticks. Seriously, we should invest in fabric softener. So many times I wash the shirt (almost every day) and use fabric softener just to get that smell out

    barbara – even the word “livermush” sounds gross

    katla – when Vince had knee surgery, the next day the PT had him out of bed and walking. He screamed in agony. Her answer???? Close the door

    celticcapergirl – welcome! This is as good as place as any to post an introduction.

    Allie (grandmallie) – I don’t remember how long I’ve been here, either. Really, this is the only forum I’m on

    Woo hoo...I just got to my 7 day streak!!!

    Anne DE – hate to say it, will your parents remember the next time that they want you to help out at the eye MD? Did they give Teddy pain med?

    Went to Newcomer bowling tonight. We had a few ball return problems so when I went to give the girl at the desk the envelopes for our team Vince wanted me to tell her emphatically how there was a major problem. To be honest, I didn’t say a word to them. Really….the gal behind the desk couldn’t do anything about it. But when Vince asked me if I told her, I just said “yes”. It’s not worth getting into about it. I know the gal can’t do anything so why get worked up about it?

    Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, make up 30 mins Tuesday’s line dancing (practice WBW, B, GDLL, SL, DM, SWTD), backup files then call pc guy to schedule tuneup, fire district: research district tax exemption for volunteer firefighters, AFG grant requirements including NIMS, call NFPA cancel inactive accounts, clarify benefits included in annual dues, input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS, index mutual aid files and share with L; start Part D research with new rx info, watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, learn new dances (Tequila Little Time, Homesick, Nothing but You, A Little Less Broken, Blame it on my beating heart, Do Your Thing, practice dances: All Night, TGIF, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), One Margarita); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove, ask Te about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Sunday: call S, Reward: inventory seeds, plan next spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers and beit alpha cukes next year).

    November
    3: Get outside and observe the change in nature around you: Soft earth, new green grass, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms… oh and a newt or a salamander or two.
    4: Sign up to join a new course, activity or online community: nope. Well maybe Pastor Jim’s Bible study would be more to my taste than BGBS…

    Went out to the deck to try T’ai Chi before daylight. Dogs were having none of it. Soon as the recorded voice began, they started barking. They insisted on coming out to the deck, as if to watch my back, then promptly curled up and went to sleep. Some guard dogs! :laugh:

    Found a newt? salamander? sheltering under the brush pile yesterday. Now that that pile is gone, she/he’s migrated to the main pile, seems to like it under the tarps ;) Might be a northwestern salamander, looks a little pudgy, could she be carrying eggs?

    Here's another we saw a few days ago scuttling down the wall and across the deckdm89awk4b5uq.jpeg

    Katla glad to hear your PT wasn’t painful. Did he suggest any stretches/exercises to do at home?
    Welcome @celticcapergirl1 ! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called, and your general locale.

    Intro: I’m Barbara, (not to be confused with our great leader Barbie), the Ageing Hippie, Mother of Dogs who lives with them and her DH in a cabin in the woods above the southern Oregon coast. No kids, fostered nephews now grown with kids of their own, thousands of miles away. My god daughter gave me my screen name “auntiebk” when she was just little. Now also grown with 6 kids of her own. Born in SF, lived in Bay Area and Northern California for 47 years, then Boise Idaho for 20 years of work. Retired and scooted back to the coast quick as we could, winter is too long and too cold in Idaho. We had ice on the deck two years from November to May.

    Sunrise here today 7:51, sunset (behind the rainclouds) 18:09. Back in Boise it would have been dark until 8:22, then dark again at 18:34.

    Penny @lagopus came to mind today, hope all’s well with her and hers.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Most cribs nowadays have a way to build the crib into a youth bed. The crib I had my eldest was a crib with drawers on the end of the crib frame. If you pulled those off you could put a little mattress where the drawers were and it was a youth bed with the drawers becoming a night table. The sides of the crib came off. There were two large drawers at the base of the crib/youth bed. I think I had it for all three sons.👍

    Just doing my roots. :D Soon to be a natural blonde again. :p

    Note to self : when your legs are really aching in the night, don't just lie there, tossing and turning, get up and rub on some Voltarol.
    I eventually did, but I had already lost a couple of hours of sleep. Drifted off after that. :)

    Funny story about Tuesday. Edie came back from her music lesson wanting to share with us a Spanish song she was learning. Because she goes to a bilingual school, her Spanish has an impeccable Spanish accent. She kept on asking Alexa to play it for us. Alexa was clearly confused. You can imagine the shouting and frustration as Alexa kept saying she couldn't find it, or playing the wrong song. Max said it was the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing while expecting a different result. :p
    DH and I found it for her on our phones, but Alexa was still stumped by Edie's accent.
    Eventually, Alexa gave up and said "Do you want me to speak to you in English and Spanish? " :laugh:
    Then I said, in my best Queen's English, "Alexa, play Volar by Alvero Soler"
    She found it straight away!
    (If you speak Spanish, you will know that v and b are the same sound and Edie has a very thick accent. :p )

    What fun!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Allie – I enjoyed knitting the baby blanket for our unborn grandson. I hope you enjoy your project as much as I enjoyed mine. :star: I had to redo a couple of times due to yarn issues. I got it done in the end and was happy with the finished blanket. So was our daughter in law. :heart:

    Kelly – Lovely photos!!! :star:

    My second physical therapy day will be November 11 & I hope for a good outcome for my damaged knee. I am beginning to look forward to our trip to Virginia. If all goes as planned, we will fly there on November 19th. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good trip. :heart:
