Good afternoon, ladies. It's a busy work day for me, my back is really bugging me today and I had some CT stuff to do. The day is flying by. Looking forward to lying on my matt tonight with the heating pad and watching some shows. Chris - your family has endured so much yet you all have come...

My daughter is a very giving person. She knows I have back problems and if she sees that I look uncomfortable, my face looks strained, she doesn't even ask, she says she is taking the dog out for a walk and off they go. She knows I will say its ok, I will take Taz out, he is my dog and it's my...

Happy birthday Madi!

Good morning, ladies. Going to putter around today. Did my morning exercises, will go out into the garden in a few minutes to feed the critters and take a few pics. Then will scrap a bit, read my book and will figure out groceries and dinner tonight. It'll be a nice relaxing day. Chris - I'm...

I usually post pics of Taz but here's a pic that makes me smile, it's Noel in his fave spot in the garden, tucked in behind a bush. He sits there, rubbing his face against the prickly leaves and watches/listens to the birds all around him. it's his happy place.

Good morning, ladies. Didn't do the treatment with Noel yesterday, Jen worked late so we'll do it today. Fingers crossed it goes a bit better today. Physio was pleased with my progress and says if I continue to follow good posture, don't lift/carry too much, don't sit/stand too long without...

Good morning, ladies. We are getting some wet snow today. Jen and I have been talking about a snow blower but don't know which to get. Looks like I better get on that before everything gets sold out. I have to look into it b/c I don't know how effective they are for wet snow. Chris - hope they...

Good morning, ladies. We tried to give Noel his IV treatment last night. We had lots of fumbles, I kept losing my grip on him as he was howling at me to let him go, poor little guy, then the IV would come out. We managed to get about 1/3 into him that we were supposed to. Two seconds after...

Good morning ladies. Had coffee, watched the election news, read my book and then got out into the garden for some photos. I've got some scrapping to do today (left a few of my CT teams this morning as I realized I was taking on a bit too much, so am proud of myself for realizing that and taking...

Good morning, ladies. The sun is shining and I got out into the yard for a few minutes to take photos. What a great way to start my day. Chris - poor Ray and Cordelia. How old is Ray now? I'll share my coffee with you. Jen has a pot going downstairs and I have one upstairs...there is no...

Good afternoon, ladies. Chris - ha ha I know about clinging to the side of the bed with a sleeping dog LOL. For a little dog, Taz can hog a lot of bed. Noel is eating lots and playing, being very alert. So for now he has a reprieve...yay. Cheryl - how exciting about the house! Trudy -...

Good afternoon, ladies. Just a quick update. The vet today weighed Noel and he has gained a lb. I am feeding him whenever he wants, little bits at a time and he is now eating a lot more than previous months. The vet didn't see any signs of distress/pain, so Jen is willing to try the IV...

Good morning, ladies. Had a long talk with Jen about Noel. We are still on the fence about Sunday being the day to take him in. I'll be talking to the vet again today. We know his time is coming, we know the IV treatments are the only thing thats keeping him going and how fair is it to him to...

Trudy - we cross posted this morning. That's funny about dreading G being home for 5 days and keeping you busy. D was home last week and for the most part, he reclined in front of the tv and I hardly saw him. I have to give him a few chores to get him out of the chair and moving LOL. Glad your...

Good morning, ladies. Had a good day with Bailey yesterday. Unfortunately, the vet said Noel is fading fast, is feeling more pain and lost a lb in 4 days (8 in total this past month or so). He said it's time to let him go, so we'll have this wk with him, love him up as much as we can (he still...

Good afternoon, ladies. I worked and ran errands this morning. It's a sad day and I'm sure the wkend will be too as we come to grips with Noel's diagnosis and prognosis. He has tumors and leukemia. We can prolong his time a bit with IV treatments but we won't let that go on too long. He is still...

Good morning, ladies (almost afternoon). I spent the morning working a bit and spending a bit of time with Noel (the cat). He has some kind of tumor/growth in his intestines so no further investigations will be done. We might give him some intravenous fluids for a bit to give him some time but...

Good morning, ladies. Dreary day here, lots of rain. Physio went well, they put me on the table, strapped me in and did 35 lb spine stretching. It felt good. He said I'm progressing extremely well, what???...to me if feels like forever now, its been almost 2 mths. He figures I will always be...

Busy morning with CT work and desk work so just popping in for a quick hello. D is out getting snow tires put on this morning and will organize his van (all his work supplies in there). I'm off to physio after lunch and just finished my morning stretches but took it a bit easier b/c I usually...

Good morning Trudy, we cross posted. I've seen some of your calendar pages, they are just gorgeous! Have fun scrapping today.
