Daily Ooo's: Monday, August 6

[faerywings]

Good morning, O-Zies! How was everyone's weekend? Did you get to relax a bit? I hope so.

My weekend was OK. I was really tired for most of it, especially yesterday since I didn't sleep great the night before. Much of my day was puttering around, cleaning the kitchen, stuff like that. The new coffee pot leaks when you pour the first cup or two so I have to keep mopping the floor. Spent time with Cait and the rats. She went over all of the details of their care, especially what to look for with Clover- if she stops eating or if she gets an intestinal blockage. I am really nervous about caring for her. I DM's one of the vet techs who has had rats and loves Caitlyn's babies to ask her if it would be ok if I texted her for advice while Cait is away. She said of course, which didn't surprise me but I am trying to cover all of the bases.

Gary spent some time with them too and was pretty shocked at how big the tumors are. He hadn't seen them in a long time and I think it shook him up a bit.
I wasn't able to spend too much time outside. The grass is really long and wet and the dog pooped that hadn't gotten cleaned up was all mushed into it. Yuck. I tried scrapping a while but not with much luck. I am struggling again. and that makes me cranky.

Today I have a ton of errands that I need to run around town and I have to get ready for food shopping tomorrow. I want to get out and back before the kids leave so I need to be prepared and organized.

The kids started packing for their trip and will finish that up tonight. I might go to the walk and yoga tonight if I can get myself together. It is the last week of the activities. I want to go and I know that it will be good for me to do it.
Wish me luck!


xoxo

My goodness, my brain feels scrambled. I feel like the last few days I haven't made much sense, here or IRL. Not really Lyme-Brain... just like I can't get it together. maybe this is how my mom feels. LOL

ugh, that reminds me that I need to call her today. She called on Saturday, something about my car, and my dad was yelling at her in the background and I haven't spoken to her since. I texted my brother to check in and I think that they are both really frustrated at the situation of being stuck with each other 27/7. They are both very independent, doing their own thing. This has to be hell for them.

Felis- sending hugs and comforting thoughts to you as you miss and honor your grandmother. Yes, it is hard to look back and think about how you would do things differently, but I guess that is a huge part of growing up.

Gotta take the puppies outside! Love to all!

good morning - I have checked in with my airlines and they have it all correct so I am ready to go. But wait I still have to pack and make sure I have all my batteries charged and ready and all my electronics lol. Luther is at his day care and they are so awesome when checking him in they wanted to know what they could do if he decides to go on a hunger strike. Well we brought a suit case full of food and treats LOL. They said he is spoiled and yes he is. Shadow goes tomorrow. Worry more about them than kids LOL

I will try to check in over the next few days.

Have a great day!

Good morning, ladies. I'm not working today but have to get groceries, do some food prep for the week and will cook meatballs (will bring some to B this afternoon) and protein cookie balls for myself and B and will fry up some ground beef for a quick meal tomorrow with rice for D and baked root veggies for me.

The bear was back last night and again knocked the neighbors gargage over and got into it, spreading it around the yard. Taz & I didn't hear him at 4:00 am, we slept right thru it, but D did. He broke the lid on the other neighbors garbage lid too last night.

D & I booked our optometry exams for Friday at lunchtime and have picked out some glasses we like. It sure will be weird for me to wear glasses all the time but I know my eyes will feel less strain.

I got to scrap this wkend....yay! It sure has been awhile and I really enjoyed it. My schedule is lighter over the next few wks so hope to get a few more pages done before getting back into my regular busy schedule at the end of the month.

Chris - hope today is a better day for you. It sounds like you are as prepared as you can be for taking good care of C's little critters.

Nancy - soon you'll be away on your adventure!

I'm getting off the computer now. Have a great day, everyone!

Hello girls,
I hope I didn't make you sad yesterday, I didn't wanted that! But the spiral of my thoughts flips me in all different directions.
August is always been my idea for typical summer. We have these awful hot days, when you you melted even in short shorts. But then the summer nights are most precious from the whole year. We was out after 10PM and it's already dark and even become chill, the best excuse to slip in someone else's suit jacket while escorting you home. The days definitely becomes shorter. And I'm not sure how spend my time, but definitely isn't good organised.

Chris, this for the coffee pot don't sounds good. hope you'll find how to program it for the correct numbers of coffee cups! Did you was able to go on a walk and yoga? How exciting that the kids will get some vacation away! uhh, sorry for your parents! Hope they'll resolve their problems fast and to not invite you to take a side in this situation! Although they are drive us when we was child so it seems fair now they to think that you have to bring them that favor.

Nancy, oh, it so exciting! Have a great time, girl! And have a safe trip! Don't worry about the pets, I'm sure you'll miss to them much, but they forget really fast once when you are take them back home.

Rae, right now is fashioned to have glasses and also its gets accustomed really quickly. Show us pics with your new look, please! This bear really likes your place. When you turn on the garden lamps isn't this dispel it away?!

I couldn't scrap these day. It's not so easy to scrap without challenges, I have ideas, but no motivation to do it when time isn't factor anymore. Maybe when weather gets cold to be outside. Will see!
