Terri ~ It was so sweet of you to help get your grandson off to Uni. Glad he had a nice dorm room. When I was in college, my room was tiny with bunk beds and a community bath for all on my floor.

Allie ~ Love the pic of grandson looking out the screen door. How old is he now? It seems like yesterday when you were waiting for his birth.

Viv ~ Your road trip and getting lost was probably fun in the long run.

Rosemarie ~ Your worry about the coming storm is very valid! I pray that you will not lose electricity and that all will be well. My husband told sister-in-law that they cold come up and stay with us if needed. They are in Port Charlotte, Fla which is south of Tampa.

Small Rant:

Have any of you done an old age stupid thing you regret? I have been thinking I needed a new mattress and finally ordered a rather expensive mattress topper from Amazon. When it arrived, it was too heavy for me to move and DH had to use the dolly to get it into the house. Got it on the bed last night and off the bed this morning. Turns out it made the bed too high for my 5'1" bod to climb on. Then it was so soft that turning over was a pain. Finally, it made sleeping on it very hot. Now, I have to figure out how to repackage and get it to the UPS store for return.

Carol - Not stupid at all, how were you to know? One of the things that has helped when I order things online is that I read lots and lots of other people's reviews. That's how I often find out things like "too heavy," or "too hot," and move on to another product. I'm 5'2", and I have a step beside the bed because I have a 4" mattress topper that I love. You can also change whether a mattress or topper is too hot by putting a different mattress cover on it--not sure you can change it from being too soft though!

Third phone call was the charm, and was totally surprised to hear an actual voice instead of a recording with Social Security yesterday - she was lovely, very helpful, and let me know she would hopefully be able to get the decision posted by the end of the week. I won't hold my breath, but it would be wonderful to have it settled. This is the disability decision, something I never anticipated applying for, and am not assuming in any way will be awarded.

The day ended well. The lasagna was a hit, and was able to freeze three more good meals from it. The request for tonight is bacon burgers for Corey, and I'll nosh around the edges. My entire effort consisted of getting out bacon to thaw.

Today is the very first autumn morning, that first day where the air is truly cool. Yesterday morning, it was the autumn sunlight, bright around the edges without the summer haze, but still far too warm, was kind of off balance all day.

Exhausted for some reason.

Nap time.

Those in the path of Ian, stay safe!

Love y'all,
Lisa in AR

Rebecca--Love the pictures of you, your sister and niece. You and your sister look so much a like.
Eye doctor yesterday went really well. No change so didn't have to order new glasses. So good for another year.
Karen-- Olivia is getting so grown up. Sending prayers for Josie and the doctors at St Judes.
KJ--Sometimes our kids make us so proud.Glad DH is going to get checked out.
Tracey--Looks like you both had a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed your special birthday gift.
Jam0525--So sorry for your loss, no words.
Allie--Miles is a cutie.
Terri--Sounds like a busy weekend, but spent well.
Carol--I have done way more then I like to admit things like that. It sounds good and I am sure it will be a great deal. Only to end up sorry and having to send back.
Had the visit with my employee and because there are steps we have to go thru to let someone go. I told her we are on step 3 of 5 and she needs to think hard about what she plans to do as I am not going to put up with her behavior. So will see.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE Where we are having beautiful Fall weather.

Another rough night. Four baths later, slept all over the house, in recliner, on couch, in bed, in bath, everywhere! Just whole abdomen tight, and the only thing that feels good was lying in hot water. Its now almost 11 am and I was able to sleep for two hours while Lee was at gym. Hadn't eaten since 2 yesterday, so at 8 am I had a cup of chicken broth, and just now after sleeping had 2 saltines. Nothing sound particularly good. Its not the flu, its not just an upset belly. I was really gurgling though at about 3 am. Its like my insides have a side ache. Called doctor and have an appointment for Thursday 1:40. This is nuts.

Love all the pictures of grandkids. They grow up so fast. Our youngest gd is 15. She can’t wait to drive.
Allie- Miles is cute. I don’t know how you keep up with him.
Finished water aerobics and took a rest day today, except for laundry.

Rebecca, Have you ever had diverticulitis?

So sorry you are dealing with that bellyache! It's miserable.

Taught water exercise this morning, regular instructor is in hospital. I much prefer being in the water to being on the deck but the class is so large that they cannot see or hear if I am in the pool. Anyhow I got my workout in. Really smokey again this morning. DD has been sick. She tested for Covid but was negative. I think the smoke has contributed to a sinus infection. She was feeling better and went to work today. Vegetable beef soup tonight for dinner.

Rebecca - hope you feel better soon.

Terri - glad you got the DGS safely off to school. Sounds like a good trip.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Rebecca did you take your temperature? If not do that just to make sure that you do not have some type of infection. My daughter had really bad stomach pains and it ended up being cysts on her ovaries and other areas. She did however have a temperature so that alerted the doctors. One of her cysts was leaking. She has endometriosis.

Rebecca: I was wondering if it was your appendix, but diverticulitis or ovarian cysts may be better possibilities. I think taking your temperature is a good idea and maybe calling to see if there is a way you can get in earlier than Thursday. Am I right in thinking that this is getting worse than a few days ago?

Grandmalle and Carol: Sounds like you both will have family right in the storm. I will be thinking about them as the storm approaches.

Katla: Glad you are doing some knitting. Have you met any one at your apartment to say hi to?

Heather: Stores are shut on Tuesdays in France? I had no idea. I guess I live in a bubble!

V: Sounds like a great visit!

Terri: Sound's better than my son's freshmen dorm. It was terribly small and I hated leaving him there!

Tonight by zoom I start a course called A Course in Miracles for Writers. I know very little about it so it will be an adventure! This will be once a week through November. I signed up on a lark because I am limited in how often I can get out of the house!

Rosemarie2972

Rebecca: I hate to be a nervous Nelly, and to make you nervous, but as you probably know that an isolated infection can become a much bigger problem if it somehow gets into your body and especially your blood stream. This can cause a blood pressure drop. So please go to the ER if you feel that this is not going away and is indeed getting worse.

Well my arm hurts from my booster shot so I skipped my dumbbells today. I've been trying to take a nap all day. So now I will just go to bed early.
