    :angry:I am SO MAD! :rage:
    While Joe was finishing the side yard clearing up job things I couldn’t do, (move the potted cherry tree, cement blocks and iron rose trellis) he “cut down the little tree.”
    “Oh NO! Not the redwood tree?” If he had talked to me first I could have begged him to spare it. It would have been possible to lift the tank up elsewhere over the fence. I had been delighted to discover the sapling when I cleared the salal from that area. In the past two years it had grown into a healthy, lush 3 foot tall tree. Joe is genuinely sorry and I’m sorry to have reacted so badly, but I am literally sick to my stomach with anger, grief and disappointment in myself for making him feel so bad. Hoping BB&B class will disperse these feelings.

    Later, lighter, lovelies!

    Open heart and mind before mouth. Now THERE's a FAIL.

    Don't beat yourself up about it. Things happen, you know men see things differently than us. To him it was just a manageable little tree. To you it was something you have kept an eye on. You never probably mentioned to him how you have enjoyed seeing it grow. He never mentioned that he was going to handle it. So both communicate better. Hey your outburst let him know you were mad. You didn't b just shut down, or stop talking to him. You processed it perfectly! Be proud , and always say what you mean to your Joe.👍🏼

    Hair cut good. For once she didn't cut too much off. :) We had a nice chat about fancying our various medical personnel and all her continental short trips she has been taking! Wow! So many!

    Waitrose delivery. Tonight's dinner is sea bass with spinach in crême fraiche, and a few sautéed potatoes for John. Stewed plums for dessert.

    England match tonight. John said he would go in the other room, but I'm going to play nice and leave him in the living room and go upstairs with my tablet to watch something. I'll record the Great British Sewing Bee, because we both like that, surprisingly for John!!!

    Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxx

    Shopped today, as tomorrow we both go in for teeth cleaning. Bought a lot of the same things, as they worked well last week. Couldn't resist some sushi from the sushi guy. Don't look at the prices, I didn't.😂😂
    The eel is splendid. Ate half of each, and I will have the rest later on.

    Sorry that happened.
    At least Joe was sorry about doing it-
    I asked dh why he cut back my dwarf lemon tree-it was finally growing a bit- he just shrugged and said he didn't know- he was cutting the bush next to it and just chopped it. He also used the weed eater on one of my dragon fruit plants- That one there was no excuse for it- The thing is 12 inches off the ground in a pot. He can't say he didn't do it- there are vivid slash marks at the base. Hoping it heals over and doesn't make it too weak when it gets bigger/heavier.

    OK, that's it, I'm done for the day...

    After I posted to y'all earlier, I went to bed 🛌🏻 and slept for nearly an hour and a half. Don't usually nap in the mornings, but it was irresistible. Got my one thing done on the task list after I got up, then I got the basil, oregano and parsley 🌿 that I harvested on Monday morning picked over, cleaned up, oiled up and popped them in the freezer. Quite a bit of it will go in Corey's next marinara.

    After I talked to Corey at his lunchtime call, I had to drag my grubby little self into the shower and then I scampered on down to the stores. First Aldi, then Walmart, then filled up the car with gas. 🚗 I just finished getting a package of bacon 🥓cooked off in the oven for Corey's monster burger 🍔 that he wants for dinner, and some mushrooms 🍄 done on top of the stove for me. Picked him up some fresh limes and an avocado to make guacamole and one big, sweet Vidalia onion so if he wants to fool with them, he can make onion rings. 🧅 Purely for him, I might add. I have a tendency to take the onion out and then eat the crunchy ring that's left, which makes him a little twitchy. 👀🤣😁 Don't know why! 😇🤷🏻‍♀️

    Did I mention that I got everything actually sorted out between the VA and the gastro? Everything went through except the Skyrizi prescription from the gastroenterologist, and that's been resubmitted. I am so pleased! I've got an appointment set up with the local dermatologist later in the month. Still got to work on getting to the eye doctor, but that's pretty minor, as the VA has one I can see near me. CT Scan is Friday, and then a full round of tests two weeks after my first home injection which is supposed to be around August 9th.

    Rosemarie - I keep forgetting to say that I do look for your posts, and am always pleased to see you post, dear heart. I'm sure you'll enjoy your trip once you're on your way.

    Allie - Glad you're OK after your adventurous little trip, and hope they get the echo rescheduled soon. Sorry the UTI isn't subsiding. They're so horribly uncomfortable.

    Relaxing now until Corey gets home - my Kindle should have recharged while I was out swanning around. 🤓

    Later, babies,
    Love,
    Lisa in AR

    Just got a text. Max won various certificates, including Academic Excellence, and got the 'Getting Involved' cup. :p He has been running the Dungeons and Dragons club, just like his uncle! :D Glad to see him socialising.

    It's all very Harry Pottery. ;) I refused to send my children to a school with uniform. I hate it. Nearly all schools have them now. Max has grown out of his.

    My son got back home to see England equalise with a penalty. (They won and are in the final on Sunday) John will be going over to theirs for the match.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx

    Good morning beautiful ladies!

    Barbara so sad about your redwood. Glad there is another one. And loved Rebecca 's reply to you. Insightful.

    We had a great trip to the DMV yesterday - a long wait balanced by the lack of problems with the car inspection and paperwork. So now the title and registration are current. Yay! Next step is selling the car, which includes convincing my dad to sell it.

    Machka yes my dad did come home and rest on the couch. He wouldn't tell me if he had some minor digestive issues, so maybe it was just that. He eats lunch there, and he can never tell me what he ate.

    Today is horseback riding. Hope it's not too hot.

    Have a great day folks. May you all be happy, healthy, safe and free!

    Heather - I love how you encourage so many of us on here.
    I don’t know why my dreams always get pushed back for reality. It must have something to do with how I was raised not to take risks.
    Good luck to Max tonight. Do all of them attend private school?
    I need to get my hair trimmed, maybe I’ll do that this weekend.

    Lisa - Rodger doesn’t have any friends either. I really wish he did. I don’t think it’s very healthy that he doesn’t but he seems happy enough.
    I’m with you on the DrBenja - MFP is my anchor, but we’ve never seen before. 🙄
    I have been denying friend requests from people forever but the last few weeks it seems to have really increased in number sometimes two a day.
    The scammers try everything they can.

    Machka - I have never had one of those serene first night scenes either. Those pictures are probably all staged, or they hired movers. 😂 congratulations on your first night.

    Annie - if you’re dying your hair you would just have to tell him to wait a bit. I need to dye my hair today, it needs to be washed and I purposely didn’t last night so I could dye today. I went with a more red than I normally do, if I don’t like it, it will only be about 6 weeks before my next one.

    Machka - the same complaints are being made about trade services here as well.
    Mike Rowe - the guy from Dirty Jobs has been saying for years that if we don’t start encouraging youth to loon for futures in the Trades we are all going to suffer. They expect in the USA a shortage of trade professionals in the millions. He has started a scholarship program to get people back into it.

    There is a podcast called “The Way I Heard It” episode 394 about trades and his scholarship program.

    Allie - I love the haircut. I bet it would need to be dyed grey.

    Rita - I like the spaceship flying into the mall.
    Hope you feel better soon.

    Barbara - We sure make things worse sometimes don’t we. Sorry about your little tree.

    Pip - that’s odd they would refund one and not the other. Did you end up at least keeping it to maybe sell online?

    Rori - you are having fun. Does water walking help build strength? How deep of water?
    I’m intrigued.

    I went to ceramics tonight. I finished one piece of my 3 piece set snowmen.

    I did some laundry after Rodger and I got the AC put into the window. It was 37C.
    Still no interview scheduled.

    Chat tomorrow.

    We had the receipt for one, couldn’t find the other even though we dealt with the same person. I asked kirby if he wanted me to sell it online. I dunno we may keep it.

    Did my first commute from our new location. It went quite smoothly, so we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

    Walked 3.4 km ... my lunch walk below and a portion of my commute.

    Climbed 28 flights of 20 stairs.
