Good morning and happy Monday to everyone! I am not quite sure where the summer weather went off to, it is another cool and rainy day. We might get to see the sun on Wednesday.

I was able to get everything "back to normal" in the house yesterday. There are still a few things here and there that I am belated what to do about. We will need them for the party on the 23rd. Is it worth it for me to pack it all away for a couple of weeks? (probably not ;) )

The "highlight" of my day was that I think I sprained my finger/hand. I was bringing Floyd his dinner and missed the doorway by a bit. My hand got jammed and fingers bent back. I don't think I broke anything but I sure as heck can't move my fingers very well at all.
Guess which hand? My right hand. Guess which is my dominant hand? The same. I always wanted to be ambidextrous :p haha!!!

Gary and I are going to do a few errands today. He needs to go to Walmart to get insulin. Then, we are going to pop into the Staples next door for me to try out some office chairs. Mine is 14 years old and the seat cushion is - well, not very cushiony. My ILs offered to get me a new one for my birthday but I need to see what one will be comfortable. I think it will be nice for the 2 of us to get out and about together even if it is to the store.

Who has fun plans for today? I hope that everyone has a great day. xo!

Jean- it must feel odd looking through your cousin's things. Very cool that the paper will help your genealogy work. The day out with your hubby sounds like it was a great time. if Gary had been to something like the Guitar Road Show, he would have had a hard time coming home empty-handed, especially after getting to try out some new/different guitars.


Rae- You have all of my good thoughts to B, as always. I hope that the Drs can figure out what is happening and how to fix it. It must be so scary for all of you and I wish I could make it better or even a bit easier. Were you able to watch a movie together? Let us know how the MRI went when you can. xo

good morning - I was absent all weekend as my DH and I are doing moderate upkeep with the house in prep for his sister coming this weekend. My DH is cleaning out one room but in doing so he is putting what he deems is my junk in our bedroom for me to do something with even though the room he is cleaning out was my scrapping room until our son took it over to DJ and then has never removed the junk. But it has forced me to clean the our bedroom to some what arrange what he has thrown in there. But I am liking the progress so that is good. Now for the next few days it will be cleaning the downstairs. I am glad she is coming and glad that this lit a fire. Also my son and I binge watched 13 reasons why. It was done so well covering such hard subjects. So last night we watched the first episode of the second season. Again it is really good. School is so much harder now than when I went to school or even when my kids went to school. I am so glad that social media was not around. Hockey is going well for the Caps but I want more games so hoping the Knights can remember how to play. All season and playoffs they have been not feeling pressure but I think they are now. Or the Caps are on a mission. The rain has stopped but omgosh I am cold. The sun is coming out yea! I miss not seeing the sun! But luckily the boys take Luther to play fetch so he had a great time and this am my DH and Luther were caught in a rain storm. Oh yea the funny thing that happened this weekend was our smoke alarm finally had a low battery alarm. I heard it beep and my son did but we did not know where it was coming from and my DH slept through it and the dog went out side as he did not like it. But we found it. And then it was hard to go back to sleep as it happened of course at 2am. We have a new one already in.

Chris so glad that party went so well. I had confidence in you and your family and friends. Just being together had to be such fun! I bet those pics are so cute! Take it easy and enjoy! Have fun with Gary today even if it is going to the stores.

Trudy hope you are having fun with grands!

Felis cant wait to hear how the book search went! Hope you had fun in the city.

Jean it must be strange to receive a box like that but so glad it was sent to you as you know what do to with memorabilia. Glad you found something to help in your family history. The guitar shop sounds fun! And glad that you had a great dinner. I saw on facebook I think that at a special spot on St. Laurence sea way 700,000 warblers went by. I cant imagine seeing that. It was reported by eBird.

Rae so sorry about the new problems for Bailey. Sending hugs. I hope the doctors can give you some worthwhile info.

Have a great day all!

Good morning, ladies. Didn't sleep well as I'm worried about what today's MRI will show. It will be a few days before we get results though I think. I sure had some strange and disturbing dreams last night. Today I have lots of work, will put a roast in the crockpot for dinner and will get Taz out for a walk later. We'll stay home from the hospital today as B is usually tired and over-medicated when she gets an MRI so hopefully she'll rest today. I need a day off, to stay home, I feel worn out.

Chris - sorry to hear of your hand strain/sprain. Are you icing it? Maybe this will force you to slow down, take some time to just relax and heal. Have fun checking out new chairs. I too need a new office chair at some point, mine is so old and uncomfortable.

Nancy - thx for the reminder. I think we need to change the battery in our smoke alarm. I should check it. Taz freaks out if it goes off.

I'm not feeling too chatty today so am going to get to work. I hope you all have a great day and if I can, I'll pop back in later.

:hello: everyone! I was in here early this morning but again I lost the long post that I had all typed up :gaah: It seems if I move my finger on this mouse anyway to the left or right the page on the forum flips over and I lose everything!! I hate this apple mouse!! I want my touch pad back!! So here goes again, let see if I can get this done without losing it all!

Chris - How great that you and your Gary are getting out together to do some shopping! Not the most exciting thing to do I am sure, but hey its something at least! I hope you find an awesome and comfortable chair for your computer!! It might even help with your mojo to be able to sit for a longer period of time without your butt getting sore! My DIL Jackie uses a exercise ball to sit on at the computer, its pretty comfy actually and good for your core too! I sure hope that your fingers are not too sore and that you are healing from your little mishap quickly! Yes it always seems that we hurt our dominant hand when we have some kind of an accident, but either would be painful to say the least!

Nancy - Yikes you and your DH have been busy around the house! Sometimes a little kick in the butt is just what we need to get things done! I seem to be more complacent about changing rooms around these days, guess as we get older it is harder to get excited about re-arranging? Although I sure would love it if someone came and did a whole new decorating job for me! LOL Funny that your DH slept right through the smoke detector going off (or perhaps thats not funny?) anyway glad you and your son found the one that was making the noise and took care of it! Of course it had to go off at 2am that's Murphy Law! Cheering for the Knights to wake up and play again!

Rae - Keeping my fingers crossed that they can figure out WTH is going on with Bailey! So heartbreaking to hear that she is regressing ! I too had a lot of strange dreams last night, perhaps its our crazy weather?? Lots of ghosts showing up in my room last night and I didn't even watch anything on tv that was even ghost related! Not sure what is going on with that? :noidea: Glad that you are taking a breather from the hospital, enjoy your time with your DH and have a relaxing time! Worrying about what the MRI will show will not help at all, but you already know that don't you! :hug:

Felis - looking forward also to hearing all about your book fair and if you found any great finds!

Jean - I will have to read about your last post and get back to you on that, hoping that the weather is not too warm, but sunny for you!

Ok I am done for the second time trying to get this posted, so I hope you all have a nice relaxing evening! I am off to pick the kids up from school soon then back to get supper ready. I am thinking Chicken Parmesan tonight, they both like that one! :wave:

Hi, girls,
I had just a nightmare weekend so feel free to skip it!

Saturday. You can laugh me, I don't mind, my family already did it ;) , I'm just not person who told herself: "oh, this is a funny story, which I'll tell to my friends for a long". Nope I'm a grumpy person and with every step create more anger and frustration, till I'm surrounded from dark cloud of bad mood. The day was extremely hot, so till we traveled yet my mom realize that it will be just too hot for her, and prefered to go to the garden center. Good decision. This year the organizer was made the big book sale outside, to be more 'air and space' , but actually it was hot as in a furnace. Probably hell looks like this, hundred of sweat people so close one each other that every moment someone can touch you, yikes! Publisher which I prefer has some problems with financial police, make us to wait on a row at this hotness about 10 min, before to inform us that they are temporally time break. And when reopened the seller was so rude, so I just left. I found four great books from other publishers on half price, so I'm very happy about that! But the 'funny' part was before the book sale.

They drive us exactly to the place and we have just to walk 3 staircases. After the second the sole of my sandal just fell down, puff, like this! In one moment I stood in the center of the capital barefoot as some modern Cinderella. The whole shoes fall apart so I couldn't move, staying only on a thin layer of paper, which was the top part of sole before that. And as every modern Cinderella, there is not prince around! Fortunately my sister, my little knight, immediately run around to find a shoe store. It has one very close, but they don't accept credit cards (it's happened often here). So she have to come back and get cash from this which we was prepared for the books and I kept with the handbags. My sister is very pretty women, so she often attract some jerks. Sometimes is fun, but not when you want to be incognito. And of course exactly in this moment two drunk men saw her and start follow it makes compliments and whistle after it. She walk very fast, so escaped them, come to me, get the cash and go back to the shoe shop round from other side. Just a minute after that the two drunk men walks by her steps comes exactly to me. I can't move even to an inch without to step on a dirt earth barefoot, so I just stayed there. The blond ask me for the hour, I answered I don't know. He say 'come one, talk with us... on bulgarian, russian, english... what you prefer' WTH?! But I stayed there like a ice statue ignoring them. So the dark hair stood a front of the other man and told me that is very important to learn exactly what time is now, so to can go on some meeting. And I made the most stupid thing: opened my handbag, saw the cellphone and tell him. He gives me a biggest smile, nod and tugged the blonde in some direction, he protested but the dark hair was stronger. In my defense I have to told, that they did not looks like someone who wants to rob you. Actually they was good looking, I mean well dressed regular men, which are overdo with the Friday's party. Not as drunk who needs to rob someone for more money for alcohol. And I wanted to get them go away, before my sister to come back.
She came about a minute after them and brings me the smallest pair shoes that had at the store. The only problem is that this wasn't my number. I have to shop online because regular women shoes start from one size bigger than my. We put napkin at the fingers and go through the third stairs, but the shoes continued to fell down from my feet. So we stopped again and she gives me her sandals which have ankle strap. At this moment we realized that we are made mistake from the beginning, because she had to buy sandals for her size and I to get hers anyway, because now both of us was at wrong size shoes. You can say that this happened to me, because I wearing only cheap shoes, but guess what after about a 3 meters somehow I broke the heel of her expensive sandals too. Touché! She start laughing so loud and I gone even more grumpy, so two policemen which passed by us at this moment were looking at us with curiosity, how she laugh and me flip-flop around. However we go to the book sale, but was extremely hot, I was in awful mood and scared that every minute can lose this shoe too, so I watched carefully in every step that make, and didn't want to tour around as usual, so we probably missed most of the deals.



Sunday was day for family scandals. What to tell you about that, just remember how Trudy was described her awful neighbours and this is good picture of my life. She makes everything to piss off him, they start argued inside, then she escape at the yard, he followed it, but when realize that is lose this battle, go and start make dogs barking one each other. That freaks me off, because I hate when they are noisy, so I go out of the cat house and becoming part of the whole that madness. So at final they both yelling on me, which makes dogs double angry. Pathetic story.

Monday I was too overwhelmed at the work.

WOW! This post is too long, sorry! I'll back with the personal notes in next post.
