Daily Ooo's: Thursday, August 8

[faerywings]

Woo hoo, it looks to be a nice day and my plans are all set to go to the pool with Leah's mom and my mom.



The weather was crummy yesterday and it is was darn humid it was hard to breathe. Gary wasn't feeling super great so we decided to order in dinners last night rather than go out to eat. worked out fine-- I was in my PJs at 4 pm and that made me very happy

Nothing exciting happened at all and I guess that is good. The rats were really happy to be out of their cage and had lots of fun running all over the bed and on me too. The weather wasn't great at the campground, so Caitlyn said that their day was going to be spent mainly at the cabin. They are heading home today. I miss them, although I don't miss the occasional bickering.

My mom is meeting me here and then I am going to drive her car to Arlene's. She has an appt next week for the PT and got cortisone shots in her knees so she is starting to feel a bit better. That is good news, whew!

Wishing all of you a fantastic day!

Kay- good idea to do the weeding while it had cooled off- that is a huge drop in temps. That happened here last night. Big storms and then it was cooler outside than inside with the AC on.

Lyme is horrific and so many Drs don't understand how it affects every part of the body. When Scott was in 8th grade, he had to be on home instruction for over 3 months. He was seeing a therapist and psychiatrist because it had affected his brain. The P-Doc had no freaking clue about Lyme and Bartonella and accused me of Munchausen by Proxy for trying to have him treated properly. Night.Mare.
Oh my goodness, that is terrible about the SIL.

Nancy- Wow you really binged Stranger Things LOL! What a fun show, I was a bit disappointed with Season 3 but the ending was thrilling.
Your DH better be using bug spray when he hikes with Luther! OMG- the ticks by you... makes me woozy to think about it.

Sharon-- I am so, so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you were able to get a few days of vacation in but how devastating. I wish I had words of comfort but I am glad that Kay's wisdom has been able to help. Big hugs to you...

I woke up before the sun was even up. Can tell the days are getting shorter.

Yesterday, I went over to look at printers and talked to a tech there... 2 of them said it could be the cartridge and I should try replacing both of them... not just the color one. Mulling that one over. I saw the Epson printer that does not use cartridges but has bottles of ink that supposedly last for 2 years. Thinking seriously about getting that one as the ink bottles cost about the same as 1 cartridge of ink. Of course, the printer is 3 times cost of the HP one. Need to make a decision by tomorrow about it as the sale ends on Saturday.

Sharon, so good to see you back here again. I was so sorry to hear about your brother. Words can't help much but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. So glad that your DD was able to come and be with you for a time. Having family around helps so much.

Nancy, your poor DH with all those infected bites... poor man. But that is the price for not wearing long pants to help keep the bugs away from his legs. Glad you are enjoying the series and got to watch both games due to the rain delay.

Oh, Chris... how awful for you and Gary... some doctors have no sense of how to treat some diseases. Glad you finally ended up with one who understands about Lyme! Sounds like the shots are helping your mom.. that is good.

DD#1 got word that her Footsteps wall hanging had arrived and her SiL loved it. She took a photo and I just got a copy of it. The photo doesn't do it justice as there is a lot of stitching that doesn't show the beauty of the threads she used.

Well, I need to get a few chores done around the house that I have let slide. CYL

good morning my DH and I are head off to my favorite birding site. CYL

Just a quick pop back in... spent the day doing research about printers, taking to others, etc... DD said she had a Brother and it didn't print as clear as HP... In the midst of all that, I had to print out some info and couldn't believe my eyes... it printed out in black beautifully! It had quit doing that when this whole thing started!!! So - just to see what would happen - I put the 'new/bad' cartridge back in - did an alignment and did a trial print of DH's photo. I nearly fell out of the chair as it printed beautifully... and in COLOR. No stripes or missed areas! So for now, I will continue to use the printer I have.

Hello girls,
I didn't come here previous days, because I don't wanna spread my sadness on you. But now I saw that the others are share sad things too, so actually I'll fit here. At this week was 20th anniversary from the lost of my granny. Twenty years late and the pain is still strong. I don't remember many things from my childhood, But I partly remember our last conversation. Many years of self blaming and regrets that we miss the signals at this last talk. She gone from broken heart, sort of... She was complaining from the symptoms on regular basis, but she never said clear how serious it is become or to search for help. I have this feeling that we negligent the situation, and we could do something more if we just was listened her more carefully and was insist to make changes in her lifestyle, and to take some medical consultations. She was from that kind of persons that prefer to suffer qiet, instead to disturbed others.
Ughh... So why I'm telling you all that?! :icon_frown: Oh, yes I was wanted to make you note for the time and how reckless we spend it!!! The time is like a packet with rice. Yes, you hear me well packet with rice. Do you remember the old rice packs that had to be hand cleaned seed by seed?! So the time is exactly as this kind of packet with rice. When it is in your hands it's looks endlessly, but once boiled you realize that it was not enough to feed you. When it is in our hands we don't appreciate it enough, often just rush to finish the tasks, to mark something as done, to 'prepare the diner' sort of. And we just miss to enjoying the whole 'process of cooking'! Until it's too late and we are left only with 'the dirty plate from regrets'. Think about that! So I should, too.

Sharon, my sincerely and deeply condolences to you and your family!

Kay, her Footsteps wall hanging looks so pretty and relief. As much as I'm familiar it's not from the Bible, but rely on one of the Psalm, so I hope it's will work for her SiL
and the family! I really sorry to hear about her cancer, and just can't find relevant words to express my empathy to the SiL and the whole your family!


Chris, thank you for your answer. It's makes me some things around the Lyme more clear, and at the same time brings me new questions. But for now I'll skip the daily conversation till days with better mood for all of us!

Hugs you girls! All of you! ::grouphug
