So happy for Josephine the ballerina. Hope she gets lots of dancing in.
Pip - beautiful job on the patio. Looks like a wonderful place to relax. Good luck at the doc tomorrow. Hope they can determine what is wrong.
The new fridge is in and running. Slightly smaller than our old one but lovely to have it.
Believe in your capacity to change, Sue in WA3 -
Karen, so happy to hear about Josephine the ballerina, such good news!
Pip, the patio looks great!
Rita, sorry that things aren’t great right now, hope it turns around soon!
Lisa, unfortunate that family members don’t always see eye to eye. Totally understand your ambivalence, I’m sometimes quite happy to have been an only child! Love the thought of the angry gopher cutting Corey’s hair, I really did lol!!
Debbie, sure hope your hubby gets over the tree parts that landed in your yard. Living with him must be so difficult.
I’m sure there were other comments I wanted to make, like Tracey said, I hope the comments I make in my head count!!
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

Joe drove us to the beach on the way to nail trim appointment. Dogs had a great romp on the sand, but [brr] that wind was chilly. Really enjoyed the ocean views on the way back, from inside the nice, warm van
Pretty sleepy so just skimmin’.
Hugs to and prayers for Rita, Lisa, pip, Vicki, Alexandra, Allie’s brother, Heather’s friend G and everyone else who needs em. Ditto Carol’s prayers for the world.

Morning just a quick visit to catch up.
Rita: (((hugs)))
Pip: 😍 the patio
Katla: Hope your family recover soon.
Julie: I hope you get the scooter business sorted quickly.
Machka: It’s such a pain when you get the runaround on line. It’s supposed to be straightforward, but it seems that companies seldom iron out the bugs before systems go live.
Karen: Great news about Josephine.
Heather: Glad to see that you are on the mend.
Tina: Beautiful photos. Not surprised that you keep going back.

My sparkly Cape arrived yesterday. This is it on the evening dress. I'm delighted with the match.
I NEVER wear this kind of thing in normal life, but cruises are a world of their own!!!!
Haven't tried the dress on yet but it is very stretchy. I've put on 6 lbs since I last wore it.

Finally plucked up the courage to try the evening wear on. Bit lumpy-bumpy, but it still fits! Relief!
My bright, summer print, long dress also just fits and will, be great with a shrug.
The glittery dress I bought for a laugh for my 70th birthday cruise, (complere with tiara), I can just about squeeze in to. I will take it, but probably not wear it. It was tight two and a half years ago!
Heather, happy in Hove xxxxxxxx4 -
Happy memories!

Pip - I think your patio looks great! Love the lights. I've been wanting a patio since we moved in, but DH does not agree with me.

We are working on our patio.
Our gravel path project has turned into a gravel path and patio project.
This is our patio ... originally.
We've put the catio in on one side.
And we've covered the grass to the left with gravel.
Now we're putting plants in pots around the edges of the gravel to soften the look a little. So far we've got the pear tree, blueberries and fuchsias. We're looking for red hot poker and bird of paradise to add a bright, somewhat tropical-ish feel.

Pip ~ Love your patio and as another said, you have a very good sense when decorating.
Heather ~ That dress is so pretty! I know you will enjoy wearing it on your cruise.
Machka ~ I wish I had you energy for the garden path and patio. It will look lovely.

Morning ladies0

Well ladies I'm having a down day. Nothing is personally terrible, but a lot of things are going poorly. I chatted with a guy on okcupid and he disappeared mid conversation. I think he was a scammer and I wasn't a good target. It always gets my hopes up then dashes them.
And I looked a little to see where I would move if my parents sell this house, and that was depressing. The desirable areas are too expensive.
And so on. In the rain everything looks grey and dreary. Maybe some exercise will bring back some cheer. At least I am safe, warm and dry. I shouldn't be complaining.

My grocery store was totally out of soft cream cheese in all flavors, so I bought plant-based cream cheese alternative, I’m not a fan. Maybe with some strawberry jam.4

At the do. Now, waiting to be seen with kirby3
-
I am awake and glances out the windows reveal frost and fog. I’m drinking my first cup of coffee. This would be a yoga day but I have tripped and fallen twice in the past couple of years on days like this. Today I will stay inside until the frost is gone.

Going to the ER per doc request12
-
Kay ... how are you and your family?
Pip ... everything looks great!
Tina ... beautiful part of the world!
Rita ... hang in there ...
Karen ... I remember Josephine ... so very thankful she is in remission.
KJ ... we have dehumidifiers in the basement and also have heating ducts down there ... usually cut them back but they're full open helping dry out the dampness. Rarely get water in the basement so this has us looking at what's eroding outside to create this new problem. Whatever it is I'm certain it will require more money than I want to spend!
Katla ... sorry to hear your family has omicron ... praying they will have mild cases and recover quickly.
Back and forth to my parents ... mom is making slow progress with her broken femur. Dad is struggling being separated from mom and is not eating again. Mom had a mobile hearing aid specialist visit her in the skilled nursing rehab as she is struggling to understand anyone who has an N95 mask on. She was only able to hear 3 of every 18 individual words during her exam and only 2 words in a sentence and only then if there was no background noise. When background noise was added during the exam she heard nothing. No surprise to us, but she was very surprised and has agreed to try hearing aids! Yay! On top of the leg break I wasn't sure she could handle the stress of something else, but she is motivated to hear and to get back to my dad at their assisted living apartment. She's tough for almost 91!
Today my parents home will go live on the market. We're expecting the sale to be quick. Keeping my fingers crossed.
My home is becoming full of things my dad insists he wants to store. He is so agitated by this whole process that I have agreed to keep these things that mean so much to him. It's a small burden really to ease his mind. There will be time enough later to deal with these things. At the moment I'm wondering what to do with a WWII uniform that has puff mold ... it's definitely salvageable ... just wish we had warm sunny weather and I'd brush it clean and let the sun do its magic. We also found out that the content buyer will not take clothes/fabric goods so I am itemizing everything left at the house (we're talking multiple closets full) and donating. With the sale of the house, my parents may be able to qualify for itemized deductions next year on their taxes. We'll see.

At the ER, checked in, now waiting4

Beth Yay for Mom's hearing aids!
Pip that patio is a beautiful space to relax! Good luck at the ER. Sometimes going through the ER makes the insurance easier because they will accept it as an emergency. But it still is a royal nuisance and takes patience. Hope you get a clear actionable diagnosis.
I feel better after my exercise. I did 58 minutes of yoga, including a few seconds of side plank, a reasonable pigeon, and a wobble that was a preliminary crow without the balance. I'm finally seeing some results from all my dumbbell work. Yay! I also did 8 mins of elliptical and 6 mins of marching.Yay!

Pip,if you cant have Kirby keep us in the loop please..
Sean,my brother went to post op
,all looks well but have to wait for bleeding and swelling to go down.. is going home to eat and sleep..this is alp theough my SIL.. told her to have him call me when he us up to it4 -
Pip, thinking about you, and Allie, thinking about your brother. Sending all the good vibes in the world. Beth, so pleased your mom is cooperating so well.0

In the waiting area now. Gave me a norco for pain but it hasn’t kicked in yet. Kirby is in the car, took yogi for a walk around the area. They mentioned doing a ct scan and an ultrasound.4
-
Sending healing vibes wending your way, Pip.
Hope your brother is OK Allie.
The mobile battery change man came late in the afternoon, but it's all done. DH will be much happier leaving the car with a new battery in it. Good system and much cheaper than getting the Honda garage to do it.
I've ordered a new black shrug to go with my summer long dress and various other sleeveless things. It should arrive tomorrow. I'm happier with my upper arms covered.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Rita--Sending prayers and hugs. Hope you have heard from your son or do soon.
Lisa--Sending prayers and hugs to you also that you get some answers and feel better for more then a short time.
Pip--Love the new patio, what a great place to sit back and just relax. Good luck with your appointment and may you get the results you need to feel better. Going to the ER is never a short quick trip, but if you can get some answers.
Heather--Beautiful cape with the dress. You will rock it!
Annie--Somedays are just like that.
Beth--A lot to deal with. Please take deep breaths. Glad your mom is giving the hearing aides a try.
Another cold day and I am so looking forward to the weekend and Monday off. I do have doctor appointment early Monday morning for my 6 month checkup. Found out today my bank card was hacked. Second card this week as one of my credit cards was used in another state. So have new cards coming for both. Have one more card and going to check it out when I get home. The strange thing is I have both these cards and they are in the lock box at home. I told DH he will be checking his tonight too. They are not large amounts this time but just the same could be just the start. The first one told me they figured it out and credited it back to my card, but wouldn't tell me what happened. Just to watch my new card and make sure they didn't try it again.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE5 -
Had an interesting morning so far
Started out just after midnight. DH was leaving for work, not watching where he stepped and, yep, stepped in IT- cat poop. This time I just laid in bed, pretending to sleep while he cleaned it up(coughing/gagging/making a LOT of noise). usually I get up and clean it up, especially when it happens when he is on his way to work-
This morning, got the mail and checked my cc bill- WAY higher than it should have been. Check- three charges to DoorDash.I know for sure they are not mine. I have never used door dash, never even have food delivered plus all three are places no where near where we live. Called the cc company. Took a while to get through but I did and now have to wait to get a new cc then change my card number to the accounts I have it linked to. Such a pain but better than those false charges- They charged $50,$68,$89
Found out last night that mom still hasn't ordered the potting soil so won't be going up there this weekend to plant the green house. Hopefully by next weekend. I told her I would come up. Spend the weekend before my birthday with her. It will be nice to spend it with her. If she doesn't have the soil, we will just do some weeding or what ever or maybe, just visit. Her friend bought her trailer so she will be moving to mom's soon. This may be the last weekend for just her and I(unless Joanne moves in before that).
This weekend, hoping to work in my garden- get it ready to plant. May buy some of my plants and not wait for the ones we plant at mom's- some I will but not sure how much.
Hoping the scale moves lower finally this weekend- still tracking but it isn't moving.
Have a great weekend ladies

(((Pip))) Is Kirby there with you? Ask him to give a hug from me and likely many others.2

(((Pip))) Is Kirby there with you? Ask him to give a hug from me and likely many others.
Kirby not here with me, guess he can’t. They did the ultrasound and now I’m waiting again. The norco pill isn’t doing as good as I thought it should, I might ask them for another. Thanks for all your well wishes. I can’t wait to get back to normal. I’m walking like an old lady hunched over.I told kirby to go home with yogi. No sense in him staying in the car.
Just came from doing the CT Scan, now I wait. I asked for another pain pill10 -

Thank you!!
yes, the neighbors came over the next morning. It was a lot larger than they thought so came back over with a truck, cut it up and took it away- very little sign that it had even fallen. Really nice people. Kept apologizing
YES- living with him all these years has been hard and getting harder-Hard to believe I have put up with it this long- married almost 30 yrs. If I do not agree with him, I am wrong.
Pip-hope they figure out what is causing you the pain and it is an easy fix.
