Daily Ooo's: Thursday, February 16

[faerywings]

Happy Thursday everyone. So we're all good here so far. The world didn't blow up yesterday (only the news cycle) and we aren't at war with Eastasia or Oceania (yet... :madgrin: ) so it is all Baseball and Apple Pie here in the US of A.

Yesterday I was in so much freaking pain. I really should get an MRI done of my spine to see if I really do have herniated disks or not. The pain is getting worse and more constant but I don't know what I can do about it. Aleve and Voltaren Gel aren't even touching it. The good news is that today I don't have to be anywhere or do anything. I am very far behind on CT work here and I plan to catch up on that today. I can sit at my desk with my heat pack. I told Gary that I am going to do that first and if I have time afterward, *then* I will do the stuff around the house that needs to get worked on. Usually, I run around the house first, and if I have time later in the day I am too tired to think straight.

Gary and his dad worked all day to get the new vanity in my bathroom. There were issues, of course, but they were able to get it worked out. It looks so nice. It is all white and clean. Now I want a new medicine cabinet to match. LOL I might, at some point, see if I can find a paint that will cover the fake wood veneer without making the places where it is peeling worse.

Trudy- you are awesome with that kind of stuff, do you have any suggestions?

I think that the printer is having issues with one of the black inks. I think I might buy a new one and see if that fixes it. If not, then I don't know what else I can do. The -- what's the word??? -- thing that measures the ink levels- that says all of them are full. But the test print pages show all of the colors and then one blank spot where the black should be. :noidea:

Please let my Muse come to me so I can scrap what needs to get scrapped!!!

Sending good Muse vibes to all of us today!
:bliss:

Please tell me how you make heads or tails out of what I am writing? When I re-read things the next day, I make *no* sense. Not even to myself. OMG, I should just stop blabbering before y'all have me committed.:loco:

Nancy- as much as it isn't fun to do, having a clean house when you are done feels so good. Mine never seems to get to that point, there is always something messy. But maybe if I spray some lemony air freshener around it will give the illusion of being clean?
I don't think that you could have asked for a better V-Day than dessert, DH, and the Devils.
So jealous of not having to cook! Cait is babysitting tonight and won't be home, so I am going to make some kind of chicken since I won't have to worry about her not eating that.
I lucked out that the water didn't need to get turned off for the house so I took a shower in the kids' bathroom when I got home from work. Their shower is the pits!!!! There is no water pressure at all. I don't know how Cait rinses out her hair.

Sharon- that is cool about the discount on the thrift store. Gary and I watched NCIS: NO last night and it was at Mardi Gras, or Pre-Mardi Gras. *grin* Is it really like that?

Rae- again, I am amazed and jealous of your time mgt and determination to get so much work done. It is a good thing since you had so much come in at once. You rock!:first:
Congrats on the 7 lbs! You rock on that as well.

Trudy- how sweet of your Gary to bring home flowers. It is a nice gesture even when you know he loves you no matter what. Mine does too. (Thank goodness, cuz some days I am on a tear! :rant: )
Glad that everything went well with the U/S. Did she find out if it is a boy or girl? Or is she not telling anyone? Tell her that her Extended O-Fam is wishing the best to her!
Happy birthday to her too.

Better get going if I am going to channel Rae and be productive
xoxox!

good morning - well I am mucho dollars poorer due to needing new tires, an alignment, oil change, air filter but on the plus side my son had them clean and detail my car and OMgosh it is so clean. I am so happy. Also on the good side is that this is the first real money I have had to spend since it is out of warranty. My girlfriend and her daughter took me to dinner for my birthday. It was yummy and a real surprise. Luther and I got in a good walk. He met his doggie friends so he was so happy! Today is pretty calm for a change. Tonight my youngest son is going to the hockey game with me so that will be fun. I will take in the train and then ride home with him. My other son and DIL will be doing home training with their dogs and Lorrie. Cant wait to hear how that goes!

Chris you crack me up. You wonder why your back hurts after you have cleaned, cooked, grocery shopped and then painted your dining room after moving furniture and then putting it all back. Have fun just putting on the heating pad and sitting at the computer.

Sharon great to find thrift discounts! My sister and niece are always shopping there.

Trudy how sweet to get flowers. A great MG! Bet you are getting more excited for Roar to arrive!

Rae congrats on the weight loss! So glad to hear when someone finds the correct way to eat and feel good!

Have a great day all!

Good morning, ladies. I'm here for a moment and then will be off the computer most of the day. I"ve got a ton of work (they sent extra again yesterday and I still have some left from previously) and have my daughter coming later as she'll be moving in for awhile. She came a few months ago but ended up going back to her husband so not sure if this time she will do it but we'll support her and help her get on her feet and hopefully she can do it this time. They are coming to get our truck today to move her stuff. She's in counselling now so hopefully that will help her. Also, Bailey has completely fallen off the wagon so things are not good with her right now either. My poor family, everyone is struggling.

Yesterday I brought the T-Fal chopper back as it just didn't perform as well as I'd hoped and ended up spending more money but got a kitchenaid chopper that also spiralizes. Plus, it's stainless steel so it matches my kitchen better

Chris - so sorry you are in pain. Hope the heating pad works and you rest a lot today.

Trudy - how lovely to get flowers. I saw your page about your daughter, it's gorgeous, as is she.

Nancy - belated happy birthday, hope the dinner was good.

Gotta go, lots to do today. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Morning everyone! The sun is actually peeking out at us this morning! We sure got a ton of rain over the past few days, so it is really nice to see that big yellow sun out there this morning!

Chris - I am with Nancy, no wonder your back is sore girl!! I am sorry you are having problems still with your printer, mine drove me crazy a while back and I finally realized that I had forgotten to tear off the top strip that was covering a tiny little hole on the cartridge :doh: maybe you should check that? ( sending you a pm about that). As for your medicine cabinet make over? It should cover nicely with some chalk paint and a sealer, all you have to do is clean it really well with TSP and it might need a slight sanding just to get rid of the flakes. There are a ton of colours to use so you should be able to find one that you like. Heather did not find out the sex of the baby and they don't want to know. It is very unusual these days for parents not to find out, but I guess its what they want and besides you can't send the baby back if its not what you wanted LOL. I will tell her that her O family wishes her well Thanks so much for thinking of her!

Nancy - Ouch on the $$'s spent on your car, but now you will have the peace of mind that everything is good to go with it! How nice to have it detailed like that too!! I love that clean car smell! Hope that the training goes well for the owners today :becky: sometimes its harder to train the humans than the dogs!! You have had a lovely few days with your birthday etc. Lucky you!!

Rae - Thank you for the nice comment on my Daughter's page! Oh dear your poor family!! I sure hope that things work out for the best with your daughter! So not good to be in a toxic relationship, sending hugs to you and her and I truly hope that everything will work out for her! You are wonderful parents letting her stay and helping her out! :hug: Oh no Bailey!! How sad!! What a heartbreaking situation for her also! All you can do is to be there for her in a positive way! More hugs to you and your family ! :hug: Hoping tomorrow will be a bit better for you all!

I am off to get breakfast and take something for this horrible headache I have had since waking up, I must have been clenching my teeth all night long again :mmph: back to sleeping with my mouth guard in again darn it! Try to have a good day everyone! :wave:

Chris- I didn't see it, but Mardi Gras can be insane, especially in the French Quarter. My daughter was on the set when they filmed it.

Rae- sorry to hear about the family. Praying for good things.
Nancy-I know what you mean. I had a 10 year old car that I spend $5k on last year on "extra repairs". But this is a vehicle that has to have genuine factory parts. You can't just go to Auto Zone. Pain!

Trudy- I am laughing about the cartridge strip!

Tonight DH and I are going to dinner- 32 years ago he asked me to marry him!
