Daily Ooo's: Friday, May 29

[faerywings]

A super quick pop in from me. I am driving Cait and three of the four rats to the vet for their surgeries in a few minutes. Poor Dill is going to be lonely without them.


Wish them luck and some (nope, LOTS) of calm vibes to Caitlyn. I know that she is going to be more nervous then usual. She already gave Liv a big talking to- no antics with the surgery and tumor. She will heal well.

As if 2020 doesn't suck enough already. :?
(Note to self: Stay away from the news today, Faery. It will do you no good.)


Sending everyone *big* hugs!

Good Morning ladies!! I was certain that I posted here yesterday??? Not sure what happened, but I know that I got a face time call from Heather right when I was finished posting here and maybe I just never hit the post quick reply button?? Darn it anyway!! Oh well I am sure you will all forgive me if I do not post all of my ramblings again! LOL. Yesterday I took a break from painting and went out to the local nursery and got some more plants and two new planters for the downstairs front deck. It is so pretty there now with some colour and the two lovely tall planters that I got. We decided not to do hanging baskets this year, they just make too much mess on the glass when they get watered. The social distant birthday party was lots of fun, the kids and adults all had water guns and had a huge water gun fight! Lots of laughter and screams from the cold water. It was a gorgeous hot day, much nicer than what was forecast, so we all enjoyed the cool water! Then the ice cream/gelato truck arrived and it was a big hit with everyone! It was nice to talk with all of the neighbours and catch up with what they have been up to during this crazy COVID time. Today I will be back at the painting of the cupboards and this weekend looks like it will be rainy, so DH and I should get lots done and soon will be all finished Hooray!! I will post photos when it is completed. I need to do some behind the scene things here today and I really hope to scrap a page today too!

Chris - Sending lots of good vibes to Caitlyn as I am sure she is worried for her little fur babies! Not just one to worry about, but three!! I hope the surgeries all go smoothly and that they will have a quick recovery! Is the weather nice for you today? I got a bit sunburned yesterday, standing out on the road in front of our house, talking away with all the neighbours, silly me I did not remember to put on sunscreen :mmph: I hope you make it home in time to enjoy some outdoor time this afternoon! Yes please stay away from the news, it will only upset you!

Ok I will make sure I get this posted before the boys call me this morning LOL. Have a wonderful Friday everyone and I hope you all get to do something fun today!!

Kay - I just read your post from yesterday, OMG woman yes please hire someone to do your yardwork!! I hope that you are not hurting today!! Take care of yourself!! :hug:

We are back and now just waiting to hear when we can pick them all up. It should be around 2 pm or so. Rats metabolize anesthesia very quickly so once they are out of it, they are usually ready to go soon after.

Yesterday was.
What did I do? I have no idea. I did laundry, vacuumed and mopped (good thing cuz I woke up to ants in the kitchen. Yuck. I did finish the scrap page which came out cute and will post it in June.
That was about it.
Today is more of the same. I had to laugh with Cait this morning, We were waiting in the car to drop off the girls when I said that I really need to get the dogs in for their vaccines. I keep putting it off because I know that are going to be scared and miserable. I asked her if she had any free time next week to go with me. :rofl:
I know that I should stay away from the news, but it will be hard. My heart breaks for this country. It is really all too much to handle and I am not even directly affected by the vast majority of it. I am sad and angry and very worried about the future.

But on a good note- I am married for 27 years to a wonderful man, and couldn't ask for a better partner, husband, and father- even if he makes the worse dad jokes in the world.

xoxoxo

Hey Trudy! We crossposted, I usually am up so early that doesn't happen LOL
I saw some of the photos of the party and old-time ice cream truck, what a wonderful day. The kids are so much more resilient than we give them credit for. Yay for plants! The color will be pretty to see in the pots. It rained all day yesterday and looks like it is going to do the same today. Once we got over the mountain this morning, it was beautiful. Down here, not so much.

Kay- I am going to have to scroll down to see what you did that upset Trudy. Oh my, goodness! Did you lose your balance or got dizzy? My MIL broke her leg trying to do weeding a few years ago and now she isn't allowed to do yard work anymore. I hope that you are feeling ok and not too banged up. *gentle hugs*
Thx for the advice on the masks, I wrote it down on the pattern she printed.

Nancy- It is very humid and my hair is 100% Rosanne Rosanna Danna!
It sounds like the hospital is on top of the surgery with testing and quarantining for DH. Are you allowed in the hospital to wait or will he be "curbside-pick" up as well?

Felis- the yucky weather here is making us sleepy and lazy too.
I am sorry that your knitting isn't going well. As for my crocheting project, I haven't touched it since quarantine started. I feel the same, like I have been given this opportunity to do something with my time but nope, I am wasting all of it with nothing.
It is all ok-- I have to remind myself that -- it is Ok to do nothing. (it is ok???)

I better log off and work on the laundry.
xoxo

good morning - yesterday was good even with not so perfect weather as the humidity is so high! But we had a zoom meeting with all my girlfriends and it was good but it made us realize we had so taken for granted that we would always be able to meet for dinner and now we cant. New babies have been born and none of us can see them. We all agreed we have learned. Then had a Q&A with a Devils player Pavel Zacha. It is sad as he is the first since it is decided that the Devils season is over. You can see how disappointed he is. I can only hope this fuels the team to make the play offs next season. My DH and I took Luther out for a late evening walk. Love that it was still light so late. I really like this time of the year. My DH had to go into the city today so I got up at early and did a quick run to the grocery store. I was out of so much that I deem necessary. I am happy now. And it was so fast. They had no dish soap but they had toilet paper and paper towels. So that was a win. Meat choices were down but there was still a good selection. Today is slow more Downton and more scrapping.

Chris hope the rats do well and glad you will get them back this afternoon. Hope you do not get these storms. And I feel you about the hair situation. Did you decide on a theme this week?

Trudy that is not surprising with getting the FaceTime to forget to post. My sister and I still have not felt the need to FaceTime. LOL. So glad that the birthday party we so well. The water pistols sound so fun and that ice cream truck.

Kay OMgosh you must hire someone. Your blood pressure must have not adjusted as you went from pulling to standing. I am so glad you did not hurt yourself. Take care! Hope the heat is not too bad.

Felis our dog Luther loves water but I am never sure the water around here is safe. All the water in the lakes are treated for weeds and then the street puddles have the run off from the weed sprayed on lawns. That is why we want to get the pool. But of course the bad part is it takes a while to dry. Cant win. Did you finally find a book to read?

Gratitudes:
Going to the store and feeling safe
Zoom
Having windows open

Been a busy morning... sent a message to my primary care doctor about my fall yesterday. Her nurse called me within an hour and ran through a bunch of questions, etc... results are it looks like I am doing okay but due to hitting my head - I will have to be aware that there might be symptoms that show up in the next week to 10 days.

As to what happened... No, the fall didn't have anything to do with my blood pressure. I was not dizzy at all and it was a nice cool morning. I was walking around then leaning down to reach each weed and pulling it out. The larger weeds had been taking a stronger pull to get them to come out. So when i leaned over to pull the last one - a med-large one - I gave it a strong pull but guess it was loose as it came out easily and that caused me to fall backwards and I landed flat on my back and my head bounced a couple of times. Other than being stiff and sore this morning, it looks like I am okay. I have to check in with the doc's nurse on Monday to let her know how I am doing then.

Going to take a shower and see if that eases some of the stiffness. CYL

Hi girls!
I have wonderful news, they called me to ask did I want to get back to my old job! :bounce:
I was left with impression that the firm have serious financial struggle and will bankruptcy, but you know businessmen with their games. Will have some serious changes at the executives, and then they will try to save as much regular working places as it's possible. I said yes, and I know I have to find better paid job, but it's not like the searching for is went well. The lady from the employment office wasn't charmed when I tell it that sometimes I'll just not go on work for a few days. She insist that this is illegal without medical reason for me or my human child, but I respond that I don't give a damn about the law, as I'm a cat foster on first place!!! I think she dont like me. Probably is jealous because I'm pretty :tongue1: . No. Seriously, I'm very very disappointed. After the collage there was few acquaintance that offered me a place in different areas. I want to believe that right now the situation is complicated for everybody, and it's have nothing to do with my age, but now I don't get any option. What the lockdown learns me: on first place it's important to have some savings, and second ''friends'' and dates stop calling you when they can't use you. I don't say that the problem is in them, I know it's me, I'm not really close with anyone here, and most of my special people work and will be block for long time in other countries. Life!


Chris, please tell that everything is alright with the rats! You have my vibes and healing thoughts, and hopes! Happy anniversary arty:arty: ! Vet visit is not exactly my idea for celebration, but hope to turns in very good day for all of you and be in mood for something special on dinner time!

Trudy, great about the new plants! And the ice cream bday party sounds lovely!

Kay, OMG it's sounds so scary, head hit is not a little thing, hope you're okay!

Nancy, I also like that now it's get dark later and the open windows, especially during cleaning! And the crickets, for me the crickets are the best part of the hot seasons! It have lots of sense in what you said about the water. I wasn't think about that. I'm had seriously troubles because of weed sprayed on lawns in past, but it wasn't come on my mind that this thing can be in the lakes.
Umm, about the books: with all happening past few days I'm curious how is possible someone to do such a horrible things, so I have selected "Hate list",it is YA novel about mass shoot. And In addition I have book about men left IRA. But they maybe are too painful for summer read.
Or to chose Modern Austen Adaptations series and make June months of love?
