Karen that's right, the prep is no fun, but the anesthesia and that light and empty feeling after was great!! I enjoyed a simple egg and garden tomatoes for lunch and will take a well deserved nap--I had to wake up at 4 a.m. To do the second half of the split prep
As soon as I get the IP I will hit you ladies up for your favorite recipes.

Allie- just a cautious statement about leaving without your animals it will be extremely hard for you to get them after that. Unless Tom is very kind and loving and willing to give them up after you leave without them. I never got my animals after I left my first husband and he has a lot of Tom's behaviors.
Also if you think Tom is going to let you come and go after you leave you better think twice. My DH changed the locks and I was not allowed back there and he got a restraining order on me. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you think Tom acts nasty now wait until you leave.
In fact, I would not even leave your home until your divorce is over. It is much better to have him leave if possible.3 -
Katla sorry for daughter with lice. I teach in a variety to schools. I always spray my hair with a mist that contains the essential oil lavender as a proactive against lice.
(((Pip)) Sorry for your frustration.
It took four attempts to get our window fixed that our neighbor shot out. I do think part of my knee problem was how upset I got over that job not getting done. Free pillows aside might be time to find someone else.
Meg I have a friend who is taking a family trip to a place near Carhenge in Nebraska to see the eclipse. A friend tried to talk me into driving to St. Louis to see it. That is a stressful trip for me in the best of circumstances, so I am staying here in Minnesota. A 550 mile trip for two minutes. Even if it is a historic two minutes. No. I'll watch the videos. We are supposed to get 86% here but it might be cloudy that day.Margaret

Ladies, I think we missed the anniversary of Elvis's death! August 16, 1977. I remember distinctly where I was when I heard the news.... sitting in the reception area of New England Fish Company, Pier 89, Seattle waiting for a job interview. Lorraine, the receptionist and switchboard operator, suddenly shouted, "Elvis is dead!" to anyone within earshot.
It's lodged in my brain like where I was when I heard the news that Kennedy was shot and the Twin Towers were attacked.

Lovely conversations tonight with the waiting staff.
Our chambermaid is training to be a wine waitress.. I almost didn't recognise her in her smart waistcoat!
Our dinner waiter has grand ambitions to work in a smart hotel in London. He is so sweet and the perfect waiter. As we come in to dinner they all line up at the door. Sometimes he takes my arm and escorts me in. He often bicycles in to the port towns.
Our dinner wine waitress is great. She calls us Madame Heather and Sir John.. Tonight we found out that she is married to one of the bar staff and they met on board.
Our breakfast waiter is lovely and an old hand. He knows all our quirks and preferences.
This evening my DH and I were having a moment of recreational time together when the staff knocked at the door to replenish the mini bar. We felt like teenagers with lots of giggles.
Elvis final years performance tonight. It's the 40th anniversary of his death. I won't be going. DH will. To me it's not funny. After that there is a staff Elvis performance in the bar. I will go to that. We have got quite close to one of the staff singers. Like to support her.Lovely girl.
Much love, Heather UK X ☓2 -

Mary~ Fanncy ~ I have gotten the ok from my attorney to move out, there is no way I could ever possibly afford this house on my income, hence the condo..
I will talk to him about my moving out, and about the dogs.. and work from there ..
right now since he sold the Camero and paid off his car all he pays now is the mortgage . so the quicker I get out then he will be paying everything here. and I wont be broke.. my attorney knows whats going on and I trust her..4 -
Hey everyone! I've been lurking lately. Just so much going on with you all it's hard to keep up!
Marcelyn I love your photos of the fish! Very nice!
Heather your photos are very cool! I have cousins in Copenhagen and I would love to go visit them one day.
Karen in VA Hello!! How are you? I'm doing pretty good!
I have been praying that my back problems would ease up. Well, my doctors office called and Dr Rubin's nurse Lacy said to increase my gabapentin from 600 mg to 900 mg, 3x a day. At first I was out of it and wanted to sleep. All groggy too. But now I'm feeling really good and I'm walking WITHOUT limping! The nerve pain is much better.
I won't have to have injections next month and hopefully another fusion on my back will be pushed way back for awhile! And since I had a blood clot in March I won't have to have a IVT filter.
I'm so amazed Dr Rubin revaluated my case and had Lacy call me about the medication. Prayers are answered!
I'm going to a potluck Fish Fry tonight at church. I'm bring cornbread and Apple pie. I'm staying away from the stuff covered in sauces and dressings! But the dessert table is always packed!!
We will get 90% coverage of the solar eclipse. You can use your cell phone to see it too. Just be careful you don't move the phone so the sun hits yours eyes.
My grandkids Zech and Gabby started school this morning. But yesterday Jessica took them out to the beach. They live at Panama City, Florida. I stayed in one of the condos in the background. Very nice! Her girlfriend owns it and rents it out if anyone is interested. It's a 2/2 and real pretty. Has a large balcony and on the 5th floor. They have several pools too! I wish I could just move in!!
Have a great day!

So far, work has been good to me today!! The nerve damage from the shingles has been acting up a bit but I think it is because my office chair is terrible. I’m going to buy a ball chair this weekend and see if it makes a difference. My boss will think its hilarious, but he won’t mind if I want to try it. Lol. I work with a great bunch of people and am so blessed! In addition to my work, I have a pet and house sitting business on the side called Purr & Howl Petsitting. You can check it out on Facebook. I put fun little videos on there and pics of the pets quite a bit. This week I am taking care of a two year old toy poodle and a ten year old torti cat. They are both so snuggly! I am loving it!
Yesterday I managed to get in 2 miles of walking (I know that is nothing compared to many, but for an office worker like me, it isn’t bad! I already have 1 ¾ miles today so I will be over the two miles again for today! I got some extra motivation when the scale showed I dropped another 5 pounds!! I’m super stoked about that. I try not to think about how far I have still to go, but just check it every few weeks to be sure I am still going in the right direction!
Gloria – Well aren’t you the lucky doll of the day! The Korean BBQ sounds good! I am going to cut up and roast a lot of veggies with turkey smoked sausage and Italian spices to have for lunches the next few days. I am pet and house sitting so I need something quick I can eat at the house when I go walk the doggie.
Sue in WA – So sorry to hear about the Aunt but am glad you had a good visit before your move!
Marcelyn – Thank you so much for sharing the pics! I love Bonaire! I will never forget my first dive in salt water though. We went to the Gulf of Mexico on a live aboard for four days and the dive was amazing compared to the lakes where I learned to dive! The first time I saw a rock fish, I didn’t see it … my dive buddy pointed it out to me! I’m so excited you had a great dive! Your Go Pro takes awesome shots!
Josephine – Congrats on the weight loss!! Isn’t that just the best motivator!
Jeannie – Welcome back.
DJ Myrtle Beach SC – I will add you to the prayers for sure! Hopefully it was just a buildup of something and not skin cancer. I know it can be just awful waiting to hear for sure ((hugs))
Machka9 – OMG!! I can’t imagine someone doing that at work!! There is a time and place for everything and I have the good fortune of working with people that all agree burnt popcorn and seafood at the office are bad things. Don’t get me wrong … we love popcorn around here but just don’t let it burn. Haha
Joyce in IN – The pound is doing good right now so it takes 1.29 dollars to equal one pound. I am not really that excited by the eclipse this time. I don’t know why, because I normally would be. Maybe I have just had too much going on. Our drug stores here had some eclipse glasses and they were gone as fast as they could get them too. I don’t know if it is true, but have heard that some of the glasses that were given out around here are bad ones and that they should say made in the U.S. to ensure your eyes won’t get hurt. I haven’t looked that up on snopes yet.
Gloria in WA – As far as vacations go, a cruise is the best bang for your buck and is cheaper than going to Hawaii!! I am really looking forward to going on a cruise late next year! But I promised the baby sister I could come visit her in Hawaii in March. I was supposed to go in December but the prices in December were ATROCIOUS!! April is nearly a $1000 cheaper! The sister that lives with me, Emily, and I are finally getting to where we can afford a little travel. We live frugally to save for trips and it is so worth it!
Peach1948 – What a marvelous pic of a boy and his dog!! Good times!
KJLaMore and Lanette – OMG!!! That was an awesome video and a pic for the day!! I can say my mother used to get her hair up high, but I NEVER saw it that big! Haha
Dorrie – good grief hun when it rains it pours. I’m so sorry for all you have gone through in such a short time!! So sad the ex’s current wife isn’t there for them when they need her and that she probably didn’t even know where his papers are. Glad you made him take care of that back then! Makes it easier on everyone to have something in place!
Michelle in NC – What a beautiful invitation!! Just gorgeous! I’m with you, they really need to just send a note on change of venue and not a whole new invite. Those invites were a ton of work and it would be so hurtful to not use them! Love your bee!! That is just adorable! I love painting ceramics. We have a shop called the Painted Pig that I like to go to and paint.
Blessed be y’all!

Josephine what recipe did you use for the Korean BBQ? Was it from WellFed?1

Lanette I was in Paris France the day Elvis died that is why I remember it so well. I think he had a wonderful singing voice, but I was not a fan.3

Hello ladies!
Well third week of boot camp and only one letter from boot camp son. I am having moments of panic. Cried myself to sleep. I need to be reaffirmed that things have gotten better!
Well today I volunteered as a server at the senior luncheon. Loved seeing my TOPS friends, as all of the volunteers attend that was well. They served spaghetti, so I sang two of my Italian arias. I had a lot of fun, just doing something outside of my normal comfort zone.
Other that that, just relaxing here. Love ya all!

Good afternoon. I am still here -- just crazy busy at work this week. I am loving my new position -- and that reminds me that I still need to run down and sign all of the paper work and get a key for my second office.
We have eclipse fever -- in the "path of totality." My husband bought groceries this afternoon, we have filled up both cars, we have the solar lens and camera ready, eclipse glasses have been checked and double-checked. (After the news that some were not safe, I made my poor husband verify that ours are fine. They are!!) I'm coming to work tomorrow, but I won't be in on Monday. So excited!! Now the weather just has to cooperate. The last I checked our forecast was for a high of 89 and SUNNY!!!! Let's hope that holds.
My mother, niece, and great-niece are supposed to drive down from Washington (about 3 hours away) to our place. They aren't planning to leave until Saturday morning, and I have told them over and over again that leaving that late is a mistake. They need to head this way late Friday night. They won't commit to leaving on Friday.
I fully expect them to decide Saturday morning at around 11:00 a.m., that they can't make it. Traffic is going to be horrendous. It's always bad through Portland, but will be especially horrible this weekend. If they make it, my niece thinks she is driving back up Monday afternoon. That's not happening either.
Wishing all of you safe viewing of our celestial phenomena.
(My husband took this picture yesterday with our telescope/camera set up -- practicing for Monday. You can see sunspots! I looked through the telescope too, and I was teasing him. "Are you sure that's not just a little lint on the lens??" He didn't appreciate my humor.)

Allie- I trusted my attorney too! But my attorney did not know the extent that my DH would go to. Good luck!3
