Good afternoon all:
Caught up again. Biggest excitement here was a tornado that passed through Wednesday evening. Luckily no one injured. I just had heavy rain. Went out walking in a park today and saw where alot of the tree damage occurred.
Pip-glad Yogi is back home.
Lisa-I may not plan things out as much as Heather-but I would want a bit more information with family arriving!
Shoes-finding decent ones that fit custom orthotics can be tough (and expensive). However, my feet are doing so much better, I am getting over style! For shoes for my job, I did find some dansko that work.
Changing jobs-I've been with the same agency for over 30 years, but I have changed positions. Luckily I have always had a very nice office.
Debbie-sending positive thoughts-does not sound like an easy situation at all.
Off to get housework done. Got bloodwork this morning, did check in with SIL, went for an hour and a half walk, caught up with you, lunch and laundry finished. Now folding and ironing.
Take care all,

Yesterday I spoiled myself a wee bit. Tried to make a hair trim appointment, and they told me it would be 71 minutes, so I put my name in anyway and waited next door, having a pedicure! Since the pedicure was only 35/40 minutes I did a couple rounds hitting the massage chair button. They weren't as busy as the hair salon so they said I could chill out there. My salon experience was nice as I just got a trim. I wanted a trim and conditioning treatment, but the place does not wash hair, so the conditioning aspect was out. I decided to just remedy that by going to Haggens (like Whole Foods grocery store) and got a good papaya scented shampop/conditioner, and mouse for fine/limp hair. Today I feel voluptuous!
After my salon time husband picked me up and we went out to "Tokyo Stop", a nice Asian restaurant and got 3 long tempura shrimp and some chicken with white rice. It came with a small salad. It is always good.👍💖
Today I cut up all the chicken and tossed it together, and ate with some homemade coleslaw, and some pickled tomato and cucumber slices.
Later today I will go play piano at a store in the old town area of Oak Harbor. Plus I need to find a unique gift for my daughter in law for her birthday next week at the artists co-op kind of store.
Its the simple things ladies. That's how I like to roll.💖. Next week is my 60th birthday, we won't really do anything special, but I might buy a slice of Italian cream cake I love from Safeway. Its just easier to buy a slice of something, instead of a whole darn cake. Plus we each can get our favorite kind. Lee loves the cheesecake slices, and I would rather have the white cake with Italian cream and slivers of almonds.
I leave the next day after my birthday so I don't want a huge meal.

Beth - So glad Cecil's doing well. Did the neighbors make good for his vet bills?
Pip - All good thoughts coming your way for Yogi.
Annie - So pleased your uncle got through the surgery OK.
Allie-Homer has had a really good run. How's your brother doing now he's post-op?
Barbara AHMOD - A little worried about you, as you're one of the wonderful parts of every day. Thank you, Katla for reminding me.
Debbie - There's a flavor of schadenfraude to your MIL's issues.
More later...
Love y'all,
Lisa
Lisa- I have never heard that word so looked it up- OH MY_ that IS my MIL for sure!!!1 -

Heather — So sorry your friend P has covid. It is too bad that she caught it from her daughter & granddaughter. I hope she will recover completely. 🙏🏻 ❤️
(((Rita))) — I’m sorry you feel like you’re getting a runaround from medical schedulers. I hope things will work out well. Can you contact your doctor’s office directly? Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🤞🏻
(((Lisa))) — I hope your family visit is pleasant. 🌸
Pip — Happy to hear Yogi’s surgery was a success. YAY!!! 😊
Barbara — Thinking of you. I hope all is going well. ❤️
We are having a quiet day watching the river. DH is taking a new prescription and I hope he feels better.

Thanks Katla! Got the doctor situation sorted. My next medical is scheduling a procedure to fix my sinuses.
It is currently 113 here now at 1:30 pm. Probably will still climb. Staying inside in air for sure!
The next week here!!

Today will be Sasha's last day. She is not eating or drinking and is completely disoriented and doesn't want to go out for her walk. Our regular vet is closed on Saturday so we called the 24/7 emergency vet about an hour's drive away. They will let us know when we can come over. They deal with crisis emergency so it's like waiting in the ER behind heart attacks and gunshot wounds. Bessie and Sasha will be afraid being left alone for a few hours when Sasha leaves so I am going to stay home. My Sunday walking friend is going to ride with Jake so he won't be alone and I'll stay here so the other pets won't be alone. Sasha is the last of her litter and would have been 15 years old next week.

I went over and walked MIL's dog. Dh went with me(wanted to get out of the house and we were only gone 20 min)- I wanted to go longer but he wanted to get back to the house. He was tired, not used to walking the hill plus didn't sleep much the last two nights because of work and his mom(She kept yelling at the dog or asking for stuff when he was trying to sleep at almost 10pm when he had to be up at 1AM) and no nap after work. Hoping he is napping over there now. We did leave her for an hour while we picked up groceries and his pay check. He went back over there and I came home.
I told her I would be back in the morning to walk the dog. He is actually really good on his walk- hoping to go by myself tomorrow and walk a lot longer.
She thanked me and said sorry(for dh having to stay over there)
Picked all the plums off her tree and the lemons so she was happy- she stresses if any fall on the ground because the dog might get one.
Going to work in my garden in a bit, after it cools off.
High temp yesterday I guess was 97. Not quite as warm today but still a bit too warm to be out in it very long

Barbie so sad about Sasha! But it sounds like she had many wonderful loving years, and it is time. Take care of yourself in this time of grief.

(((Barbie))) — I am so sorry about Sasha. Losing a beloved dog is very difficult. Bessie will need you. Sasha will be remembered.
We lost our sweet old dog, Schooner last fall. He will be remembered. We are hoping to adopt a new puppy sometime this summer or fall. We have been lonely without a dog to love. ⭐️

Yogi is taking pain meds and down to 1 mile max walks til Monday then we can go back to 6miles. Have to soak his food for the next two weeks.2 -
Barbie - Thinking of you. The hardest thing.
Pip - Glad Yogi came through OK.
Tomorrow DH is out all day at cricket. Same Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I love the idea of it, but it can get a bit lonely by the end. Gets back before 8 pm.
I'm going to collect Bea on my own on Tuesday. She won't be happy about not seeing Johnny, but never mind. She knows he can't come.
I will start thinking about packing!

DrKatieBug ... so very sorry about your dad...hugs
Barbie ... keeping you and your husband in my prayers. Almost 15 is a long time and you loved Sasha well.
Debbie ... praying that you and your husband get through these next few weeks as you MIL heals!
Pip ... glad Yogi is being a good patient!
Lisa ... yes, the neighbors have stood behind their promises!
I'm with Lisa and Heather when it comes to company. I stress way too much about it all!
I got on the scale again yesterday and I'm gaining weight again. I know that this is stress eating, but dang-it, I just can't seem to stop. I'm getting absolutely no exercise and find myself sitting all day on while on the phone trying to resolve multiple problems for my parents. My sleep is interrupted. You know that cortisol is just pumping through my veins encouraging fat storage. Sigh. I'd like to say there's an end in sight, but problems seem to be ramping up.
