Good morning everyone0

We got the call from the Dr on Don's surgery. He is referring him to a specialist but he is in Oklahoma. It will be a 3 - 4 hour ride. But that is what we will have to do.
The day has been nice, but I haven't been in the mood to do much. Sending hugs.
This is the article I received from Today's Inspiration. Unhappiness Happens… But So Does Happiness! by Pamela Johnson. Here is link. Thought it was pretty good

@Tabatha_Cain, Awww Chloe hon, be careful. LOL, there was a pool across the HS (Inner city HS on a very busy street) same thing. Swimming was in the winter, I enjoyed it though. Loved frozen hair!!
@Patti241 HI Patti!! Hope today went well.
@Kurtize, Oh Joyce, hon, so sorry!! Do you all have help with transportation? That can be tiring. Is it a cancer center? Many off a ton of support for the family also. Hugs hon0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday. I am so glad for it also. I really need a break this weekend. I think depression is starting to set in for me. I am not feeling like myself. I refuse to go back onto depression medication though.
@Kurtize - Sorry Don has to be referred to a specialist. Wow that is a long drive. Good luck. I get not being in the mood.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Oh Miss Chloe is all over the place now. She is bouncing all over the place. So hyper. Yeah frozen hair was pretty awesome.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

@Tabatha_Cain , I'm so sorry. Depression can't be seen. Many haven't a clue how it hits not only the mind, emotions but also physically. Fibro can tribute to this also. Awwww Chloe is medicine to the soul! A friend just got a kitten who's the kitten on extra steroids! Lolololol. He's so foolishly cute! She's been putting up videos of him. I get laughing pretty hard.
@Patti241, we are happy to take some of the rain. November is usually our wettest month. This one
we've barely have had any.
@Kurtize, we are with you. TY 4 being amazing. You aren't alone.0 -

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and it is our only relaxing day. It is going to be a struggle. I want to relax but we have stuff to get done. Chloe is being an absolute nightmare, but that is only because we cannot walk her or play with her. She can't run around and catch a ball or anything. She is eating everything. She ate the plug off my Vacuum cleaner. My nice $300 vacuum cleaner, she shredded the cats cardboard cat scratch pad. She turned that into chunks of cardboard. It is really rough.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes the Fibro does not help at all and I am really struggling. I just cannot seem to get motivated to really exercise. It is a struggling to even do any stretching right now.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

@Tabatha_Cain, Is there a way to help Chloe get rid of some of her energy or at least to show different attention to her so she'll calm down? What did the vet recommend or can you find it online? She only knows she hurts, and wants to play. Poor puppy!! They are such babies, no matter the species. I hope you got to relax a little bit. With the plug to your vacuum that should be pretty easy to replace by splitting the wires, and putting one on. Oh, PUPPIES AND KITTENS!!! I got these to keep Oscar from DESTROYING EVERY CORD in my house!! But he's a cat!! Oh kitten teeth are so SHARP!! And if he felt it was naughty to do, LOL he did it ALL THE MORE!!! LOL Once I realized he needed a ton of attention that helped.

Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a great day. I am getting an extra hour of work today. I am skipping lunch and signing on an extra half hour early. So that will be awesome. Chloe is finally learning to do her own thing and not really be so high demanding. I think these sedation meds are helping her to realize she can relax a bit. At least I hope that is the case.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We ended up having to get her more sedation medication. We explained what was happening and the vet was concerned with her running and jumping that she would reopen her incision site. So he wanted her a little more down and out. She was rough with the hyperness. She was getting zoomies and running all over the yard. I had to try and slow her down. She would come in and her incision site was all red and irritated. So they said she had to be down and out a bit more. It is working great. I do believe I need those cord protectors.
@Kurtize - I love the photo you shared. I definitely need to take advantage of some of those.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and well it is going to be a great day. Yesterday Chloe was out of the crate most of the day while I was working upstairs and she did so well. She was not even medicated with her sleepy meds from surgery. I think those meds helped her see that she can lay down and relax. Because now she is laying down and taking naps and relaxing. It is great. I have a couple photos from my security camera in the living room of her staring at the front door midday waiting for Joe to get home I assume. It was just so cute. I will post it here. She is getting so big.
@Patti241 - I am so sorry to hear you have been sick. I am glad you are feeling better though.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I cannot believe Thanksgiving is next week. I opted to work Black Friday. They said I will get 8 hours of Holiday pay and if I work I get that plus time and half for working overtime. So why would we refuse that extra time. So I am really excited especially since it was approved by my bosses boss. So she immediately was like yes I will take you to work on the day after Thanksgiving. It is awesome. Anyway here is the picture of Chloe from yesterday.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday

Hi again, I started 2 more Conqueror walks, (I am a glutton for punishment, LOL). They are Rovaniemi and Grand Canyon. They are short walks, not like my coast walk.
I also got another post card on my North Coast 500 walk. Here is link

Have a great rest of the day and great weigh in.

@Tabatha_Cain , how did today go? I used to grab all the days I could which were holiday type pay. Lolol those add up. Once on top of it being that hehe Xmas we were expecting a show storm. It was insane there! They authorized me (one of the highest front end associates) to work overtime plus the holiday pay. Hehehe. That was super fun. Awww Chloeì darling you are getting big! Good girl being calm.
@Patti241, any plans this weekend? I'll do my usual. Meet with some friends on zoom for a little bit. Later on ill hang with another friend until I have to come home. I hope these 3 new meds will soon help with my breathing.
@Kurtize, I love how much you walk! Nicely done! You set an excellent example 4 us. . Because of the step Challenge (Joyce is the Motivational Leader on PS4L and I'm an EL. I had stepped down from CL to be able to devote more time to bring an OAL) this week I had to work very hard to make my steps ! I needed to. I'm very happy I did.0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and I am working 9:30 to 1 pm. I will be taking Chloe first thing thing morning to get her stitches removed. I hope she is ready to have them removed. I got my new work schedule that will start on 12/2 and I am liking it. I feel like I almost have 10 hour shifts. It is weird. I will get pretty tired on Mondays since I am on the phone from 10:30 am to 9 pm. That is a long time. It will be alright though. I am going to enjoy it.
@Kurtize - Well I hope to eventually have enough money to purchase some of the virtual races like you have.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - She is doing so well. She really is. She learned a lot from her sleepy meds and how she can lay down and relax. It is great.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday
