HI @Patti241 Hope you had a good day?
@Tabatha_Cain Awww Chloe is ADOGABLE!! Aww precious!!! Once she realizes you are both the pack leaders she'll follow suite. SO HAPPY you've talked to a trainer, the local animal shelter is happy to help also, and for a relatively small fee most have training classes. Awww she's so CUTE!! LOL I DO NOT really miss the kitten stage, and YET I DO!! He's so funny though!!
@Bodytalking, I was talking to a friend who lives in CA. Today she was with a larger crowd from the Chico area, she was saying how tired she is. They reminded her she's very fortunate in that she can go home and sleep in her own bed. Something most of us do not even think about. Chico is where the Park Fire has burnt many homes (outer area) including a few she met today. They have no home to go home too. Its a reminder to me, how fortunate we are. And I KNOW you are also. I FINALLY just wore out Oscar!!
@Aalley5, LOVE THAT!! So true!!
Today we had the BBQ (4 of us showed only 1 couldn't). If you are at all familiar with road races in Cape Elizabeth is the Beach to Beacon which ends at For Williams. WELL that's where we planned on going (Grill use, gorgeous ocean view) and hehehehe forgot until today about the race!! It's a 10 K race with so many racers its just a sea of heads and feet!! They started an hour late (was supposed to end with a ceremony at 11) but it didn't til 12. We got there at 12:15 thankfully the area we headed for (our favorite!) there was NO ONE there and even a few places to park!! WOOHOO we had a great time and didn't leave until after 3!! The food was so good, the company even better!! Tomorrow I am FOOLISHLY having 3 people over in the early afternoon!! YIKES!! LOLOL I am looking forward to things being quiet and calm on Friday!1 -

Airport delays today, lots of rain and wind. A lot of tornado warnings. Hopefully, nothing too serious.

Good evening Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday evening and well we are packing to head out tomorrow sometime. I have to do laundry and it is going to be a rough day I think. I am not sure when we are going to get everything done. I needed to get laundry done and now I am too late to get it done. My washer is still broke and I have not received any of the money to replace it yet. It would be nice to get the money.
@BodyTalking - Wow I cannot believe you have no view. I would hate that. I love being able to look at my backyard. I can see all the squirrels. Oh Yes, Chloe is definitely a bundle of trouble. No doubt about it.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We have talked to a trainer and are signing her up for a 6 weeks class, and if that does not work than we will than enroll her in a 2 week program where she would stay the week at the doggy hotel and they would train her and she would come home on the weekend. That is awesome that you were able to get your favorite place and a good parking spot.
@aalley5 - I hope you are safe. Airport delays don't sound fun.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Evening.
Tabatha1 -
@aalley5 , are you okay? Scary with tornado warnings. It was fun yesterday and today I had friends over for lunch. B4 the pangdangitall I never cooked and if I everyone ran. Lololol there's a reason why. Ewww. But during the pangdangitall we were all isolated. I only hung around one friend in person. I'm a huge people person. During that time I started to watch cooking videos. Now? People take 2nds who normally won't. Lololol. Today they kept going on and on about the cole slaw and the BBQ beef I made (Angus beef, threw it in the crockpot with a ton of bbq sauce and spices). I'm lazy I used the food processor to get it 'shredded' into tiny bits. It really is fabulous! I love cooking now.
@Patti241, WooHoo!
@Bodytalking , oh me too! Amazing how take the tiny things for granted. Do you find being grateful helps you in the long term?
@Kurtize, To you also. Every day is a clean slate. Thankfully!
@Tabatha_Cain, Did you get laundry done? I like the laundry mat for doing my blankets. I get them ALL Done at once!! WOOHOO that's nice, but I'd rather do them that home if I had a washer/dryer. But here when they built it, there are 6 floors there are 2 of washers dyers on the 2nd floor and 1 of each on the 4th and 6th also.
ENJOY THE TRIP Tabatha!!! Awww Chloe will be worth the training. LOL She's soooo cute!!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and we are going to get laundry done today. I needed a break yesterday. I was worn out. So we will do laundry this morning as soon as the laundrymat opens and then we will finish packing and then head out. There are some things we want to do at the hotel.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am getting laundry done today. That was my choice. I needed a break. My body was hurting so bad. We went shopping with my mother to help her carry heavy stuff and my body was really sore. So I needed a break. Chloe is definitely worth the training. I think she will be a really good dog once we get the training going. I really do.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

@Dianedoessmiles1 "Do you find being grateful helps you in the long term?"
Honestly? No.
I can see a very realistic dire future for myself. Consoling myself with being grateful for what I do have is not going to bring about long-term hope.
Anyway, until those days come, I have to plod on, day by day, finding happy moments.
@Tabatha_Cain Our washing machine also stopped working months ago, lol, so we're washing clothes in the bath until we can get a new one. It's not ideal but you get used to it. I hope you get the money for a replacement soon.
💮💮💮
I made up a new drink recently and I've been drinking a glass of it every day. It really gives me a nice boost and should be fairly healthy. I recommend everyone try it: tonic water, turmeric, cayenne pepper, mango and ginger-shot (a drink sold in shops here but an infusion of ginger and lemon should be similar).
Turmeric is supposed to be good for inflammation and arthritic pain.

We had a lot of rain! 9 inches is our guess. Glad it has moved on but sounds like a rainy week!
Hope you have a great get away @Tabatha_Cain!1 -
@Tabatha_Cain, I needed a break also today. I took it very easy also.
@Patti241 YEAH!
@Bodytalking , I find being grateful helps my mental health which helps me to deal with my physical and mental health. UGH on the washing of the clothing by hand, yet, we've done that for an eon of time. Glad you found something that helps you with the pain!! WTG!!
@Kurtize how did the surgery go for you today? Been thinking of ya!
@Aalley5, WOW 9" inches of the rain!! Are you okay?
Busy and yet not busy day. Most of it was on the phone which is good, by body said "HEY!! You ran around A LOT over the weekend, WATCH THIS!!"1 -

@Tabatha_Cain, your puppy is too adorable for words! And, I feel your pain, bother figuratively AND literally. Our Luka (purebred Golden Retriever) just turned 5 and he was a MONSTER from day one. High value resource guarding and a real bully with me. It has been a long road and we've done lots of training, behavioral therapists and finally started him on Prozac (which definitely takes his intensity down about 50% ). We have learned his limits with other dogs (serious leash aggression) and now we love him so so much. He is so smart, brings us the paper every day, brings us our shoes, "talks" to us. He loves his being scratched and rubbed (but NEVER brushed with anything but bare hands).
We had accepted him as perfectly imperfect and love him, flaws and all!

@Dianedoessmiles1 they eye surgery went well yesterday. The only thing was my eye felt scratchy like something in it. It lasted most of day and semi stopped by nightfall. But today, feels good. Thank you for asking.
Hope you all have a great day.

@p21usa , Luka is so handsome!! Oh no doubt he loves you all so much. GREAT Job getting him the help he needed and respecting his boundaries. My cat Oscar is a handful for a cat!! LOL he's very loud, demanding (Its simple stuff, I want a treat, I want a treat, I want a treat, he has a set time schedule I am still learning or to eat (exactly 8 PM for the soft food all else is down for them at all times. And when he's bored, LOLOL he's a handful, but I know this, and help him by playing hard with him) he's so worth it too!! He's also a very lovely boy who loves attention and sleeps with me at night so we are both happy!! I have NO DOUBT he was a "shelter FAILURE", but not any more!!
@Kurtize, so glad it is better today!!! AND PLEASE PUT that meme on PS4L chat and any other place you'd like,, the Step challenge, Worldwalking, WOOHOO ALL OVAH!!0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and the Unity Christian Music Festival starts today at 4 pm. Music kicks off at 5 pm. So we still have most of the day to relax. We are probably going to go somewhere to pass the time. It would be nice. The Festival goes until Saturday and then Sunday we will be heading home and should be home late afternoon. So that is awesome. I cannot wait to see my animals and my kids.
@BodyTalking - Thank you. I am just waiting on my check from the warranty company. It will only cover half the cost of the new washer, but it is at least something that will help. I have never heard of that drink.
@aalley5 - Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful day also.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I feel like it was just one of those days where people needed to relax.
@p21usa - That is awesome. It is nice to know I am not the only one. I was worried because everyone said Golden Retrievers were an easy breed. My bonus daughter has one and well he was not as high strung as Chloe is. I am glad to hear that I am not alone. I do hope we can get things straightened out. The vet assures us that it is correctable.
@Kurtize - I am glad your eye surgery went well. I hope for a speedy recovery.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is another day for Unity. I am getting accustom to being in the hotel, but missing home because things are going on there that I am not happy about. I will be addressing them when we get home.
@aalley5 - I am so glad you make it safely through the tropical storm, and it was not as severe as Ian was.
@BodyTalking - Thank you. I will look into all of that and see if it won't help me.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
