Thanks Chris, Paula and Clara for all your kind words. It means alot. He is spending as much time as he can laying on us.

Chris I love the plank variation.

Shelley

Shelley, Even if you can't be with us here, know we are there in spirit with you.

My left shoulder has been killing me for over a week. Don't know why. Going to make this a work night, sending emails and catching up on sleep.

Hope all goes as well as possible for all.
Paula

You two are such great gals. Bandicoot seems a bit better today. Moving a little more, still walks like a drunk at 2 am. But ate almost a whole can today. And he meowed, and pureed more. Normally I would not tell people I have spent around two thousand on my pets in one month. Heck, I have never had such a bad month before. But knowing that, and all my boys issues this month. You can imagine what was going through my head when Cooper stole the large red needle cover and was chewing on it. DH was giving Timmy his arthritis shot. And sat it on the floor next to him. Cooper is an opportunist. All I could think was how much it was going to cost to get it out of him. We managed to trade him a small piece of jerky for it. Phew, another tragedy averted. Did I mention Cooper is very ill tempered when it comes to taking something out of his mouth? My mother in law created a monster. Joey I can take anything out of his mouth. Oh and my kitty, actually tried to fight getting his meds tonight.

Sounds like you both had a great day. Chris how is your DH? Hope his appointment went well. And you are watching Grimm.

Shelley

Chris so happy he had a good check up. Hope his walk goes well. You two are really going to be on your toes with Lucas! lol

Kathy that fit bit thing is turning you into a new person. Hope your cold is better soon. Summer colds are the worse. And thanks, he is a little better. But by no means out of the woods yet. It is really sad when they become old. Hey how is zumba going for you?

Paula I hope your shoulder is doing better.

My mom had surgery on her foot Monday. She has to stay off it for 5 weeks. My sister is staying with her for a week. Off to dose the kitty again.

Shelley

Paula you are cracking me up. I made zuchinne bread with nuts. Shouldn't have, but did. LOL Glad you were able to gift some. Cooper is a stinker for sure. I am sure he was trying to play. But it was not appropriate for a dog toy. And his dad should be more careful. Now do I need to send you some more pillows? I am starting to catch up on some of the house work since Bandicoot is feeling a little better. Before I was spending loads of time holding him. I am having to cut off lots of knots from him now. He sure got covered due to being sick. Normally I brush him lots. But I didn't while he was at his worse. He still looks good to me.

Good news all. Since my kitty has been ill I have stayed on track with my eating so much better. I am going to try and get in a few minutes of exercise everyday starting tomorrow. Have laundry to catch up on tonight.

Shelley

Chris, What kind of shelves do you have? Derek and I are setting up a library too, also mostly paperbacks, and suffering from sticker shock right now. We're thinking Hoot Judkins, but maybe Sauder.

I walked 30min today CityHall to SheriffStation. I sweep the receipts every two weeks and it's less than a mile away, so this is going to be a regular thing now. :laugh:

Exercised & stayed within calories today. Plus my metabolism seems to have cranked up - glowing a little too-too, need a shower, can't wait for El Nino's extravagant water supplies - just hope things don't flood and slide too much when it hits.

Sweet pettings for the kitties and pooches. Bean too!!!

Love,
Paula

Oops Chris, sorry I ate them all. But nice to know what type of breads you like. DH must be feeling better if he is putting bookcases together for you. I have 3 bookcases. One is almost empty, another I am giving away, and the other has cook books on it. I only read books one time. So do not keep them. Though I have been known to accidentally get a book twice. Muahaha. Enjoy the new neat look of your bookcases. Oh my gosh, a lecturer! How exciting.

Paula that sounds like a great walk for you. Want to borrow Cooper or Joey? They both are up to it.

Hugged the kitty for you both. He gets his blood drawn tomorrow. I hope they say something positive about the way he is starting to walk. I got lots of weeding DONE. I like to dig them up. Got to get the root! Also planted my two new Hostas. It was a good day.



Shelley

Chris, I always wondered why cake and ice cream weren't served as a mash-up - so good that way. :bigsmile:

Happy thoughts for Bandicoot!

I bought some heals for work. Haven't worn them in probably 30years, but can again now. What a hoot. Changed to sneakers to walk to bank and forgot to change back. Left new shoes at work. :sad: We might get drizzle this weekend. Maybe some of the sweaty salt will wash away.

My shoulder's almost better. Must have been the way I was sleeping. Speaking of which. :yawn:

Paula

Well that was awful. It did not save what I put in here last night. Just say that I did then. But it was all good things. Lol

Have a great Sunday.

Shelley

Three and a half hours of building furniture: pounding, twisting and hefting heavy stuff. My arms are feeling it already. Might have to stay home tomorrow if I can't lift them. :bigsmile:
