@vickyday what a gorgeous view!
@BrightEyes Oh no! Surprise dinner! LOL! Glad that you had the cabbage rolls as a backup. And now you have dinner ready for tonight, guac is always good! I am really glad that you are feeling better too. I know it can be hard to rest even when you know you have to. I'd love to send the cool and damp weather to you. I was outside with the dogs a few minutes ago and even though the rain stopped, it's still damp and raw. Yuck.
Rest your arm as well!
@tanteva Most men seem to have that same "obliviousness to the world around them" trait.
LOL!
So sorry that the wrist is still so painful. I hope that if you need surgery you won't have to wait too long. If there is a wait, will they give you a cortisone injection to ease the pain in the meantime? It sucks getting older, that is for sure
@taxed4ever That sounds like a nice day out and about. A farmers' market is way better than Costco. Or-- did you end up there too? Hope that you and your Gary are having fun together!
@pachimac That's wonderful Susi that the procedure went quickly despite the nurse destroying your hand and arm. ITA-- some people should not be allowed to work with needles. I hope the bruising doesn't get much worse. Caitlyn took a pic of my arm-- I have to see if I can find it.
No worries at all about not knowing the names and backstories of us. We are all happy to fill you in if you're not sure of anything.
I love the idea of listing names-- I already told you about my human family. I also have two dogs- Whisky and Jaida and we live in the northernmost area of NJ, right on the NYS border. We are in the mountains-- NJ-sized mountains, nothing like the Midwest, but also not like the stereotypical NJ suburbs.
Good thoughts to your brother Duane on his treatment.
VICKY!!!!!!!!!! Oh no, you poor thing! Are you going to be able to sit in the car to get home?? I hope that the pain isn't too bad. *gentle hugs*
@Cherylndesigns You had mentioned Chuck had sepsis but not how bad it was. Not that it is ever "good" but not that it was really bad. It's scary when you play the what-if game and how things might have been. I wish there was a way to get the brain to stop it but I think it needs to in order to process the situation. I am so relieved that he is improving.
It must have been difficult for Steph to leave and for you to see her go. Thank goodness that she is close enough to make the trip driving.
I am really proud of you for getting the pedicure done. You need to take care of yourself, you are one of those people who has to stay strong even when they are crumbling inside. You know better than anyone that if you don't take care of yourself it will bite you in the a** at some point. Let the people around you take care of you too- it helps them to feel useful as well. BIG hugs!!!
BTW- they might have broken the mold after they made your Chuck, but I think my Dad-- also Chuck- had the previous version. God forbid you want to help
Yup, my parents are saying they don't need my help on Thursday at the hospital. But too bad, so sad-- I am switching the day that I am cleaning for my friend anyway. I can be on call or I can go down and tidy the house or rake leaves or do laundry while she is at the hospital with him. The reason they don't want me to come down is because they don't want me to have to make the drive. WTH?? It's 45 minutes. In a car. Not like I am walking that distance. One foot. Gas. Brake. That's it!
ooops. That all came out at once. Frustrating?? You bet!
Ok, my lOves, have a fab day, stay healthy and safe and as pain-free as possible. xoxo
Four moose and John didn't notice anything? Moose. Not mouse. How do you miss that? Bwuahahahaha. Although- even if he did notice, what can you do about them? You wouldn't catch me outside trying to chase them off.
I had forgotten to change the tag on the lid! So I popped it into the fridge and got a frozen container of Guacamole out to thaw to go along with it for supper tonight. I also got out a container of cabbage rolls and nuked it for supper instead. 
I sure hope you are not too darn sore tomorrow!!
