Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, April 11

I am so happy! :bliss: We are going to get close to 80* today!!!!
(The downside- I have to shave my legs in case I want to throw on shorts or capris LOL) yesterday's weather was beautiful and it was nice to have the windows open. I, of course, was chilly inside but the sun was amazing.

I had a major freak out in the morning. I was getting ready for my Drs appt and it was about 8 am and I needed to leave around 8.45. I have a new insurance policy and I couldn't remember if I needed a referral for an appt with a specialist. I try to look online at the website and benefits but all of the links were down. I call customer service and am on hold. I try to take my pills and brush my teeth while listening to god awful music.It gets close to the time that I would have to leave if I needed to stop and my GP and beg for a referral when I finally get through (halfway through brushing my teeth no less) and I find out that I don't need a referral, thank goodness. But it was a wake-up call about much I have let slide.

Drs appt went fine, the NP is so sweet. She wrote in my "Care Form" to make the appts I need to make and then to bring in pictures of my family and critters since I talk about them all of the time.
Unfortunately, I wasn't released from care. I still need to go back for another MRI in 6months and a mammo in another 6 months with Dr visits after each. That was disappointing and a bit disheartening. Not worrying so there is that at least. I am just done. I have been done for a long time. But here I am :hang in:
I did make an eye appt and that is for Thursday. My hair appt is Friday so I am going to focus 100% on that.

I am off to food shop this morning and then the food pantry in the afternoon. They have Easter dinner packages donated which is very nice. I know for Thanksgiving, they were giving out turkeys and lots of sides. Maybe we will get ham and sides? It is like a treasure hunt!

I was outside for an hour or so yesterday afternoon and plan for the same today. I am working so slowly but I guess that is the way I should be doing it. Even if it frustrates the crap out of me that I cannot do what I wand the way I want. hwell:

Have a super, fabulous, and fun day everyone!

cripes, I am running late with that big ol' :blah: up there.

Super quick personals...

Nancy- Luther must be so happy with this weather, my dogs just want to bask outside too. Sorry that the Devils ended badly but there is always next season.

Rae-how nice for you and Jen and the dogs to head out for walk- good to get off of the computer too. How was your dinner?

Nancy- was it you that rec'd the book Orphan Train? I grabbed that while I was at the library yesterday.

Trudy had a hangover!!
Good to get in lots and lots of water, and I hope that you felt lots better.
That is a great b-day gift for your ILs too. Glad that they liked it so much.
Totally jealous that you and Clara are having a meetup!

Cindy- Good luck with the CS to CC transition, I have no help for you there. Stay cool!

xoxo

Good morning - OMgosh what gorgeous weather we are having! It was over 80. Luther loves it but now on the walks his tongue hangs, it is too cute. This morning's walk was so nice the weather is just perfect. Nothing but laundry on my agenda for the day. I am still enjoy our Blue Apron meals. Yesterday I did cheese stuffed pork chops with a sweet pepper tomato sauce and golden potatoes. OMgosh the sauce was so good. And I love that there is so little clean up and no waste. My DH thought it was really good too! It is just enough for me that is super too. Also this week a chicken dinner and a salmon dinner. Hockey news is crazy. Now that so many teams that owners thought should have made the play offs did not there has been a lot of coaches fired and GMs too. To me the craziest is that the GM and coach of the LA Kings were let go after they had led the Kings to two Stanley Cup victories.

Chris glad the appt went well even after your crazy start. Sorry you have to go back but it is great you are getting the best results! Have fun on your hunt through the pantry! We are going out as everyone is having house problems and it means no clean up. Enjoy being out side!

Trudy sounds like you party at the dinner. Good for you! That DNA test is awesome! What a fun present! I guess on your Keto diet you need even more water! Yea I was bummed by my team but I will cheer on the Bruins.

Rae how fun to be off the computer. I bet the dogs and Jen all loved the walk.

Cindy I went from elements to CC and had no problems. CC has many more options than my elements had. Since you had full photoshop to begin with I would think you won't have problems. Have fun!

Have a great day all!

Nothing exciting here. I seem to have caught a cold so that sucks. Otherwise just same ol' same ol.

Nancy, I've wondered how people like those meal subscription services. With Blue Apron can you specify things like no fish? (My dh won't eat fish. He got sick on it as a child and now cannot eat it.)

Chris, I'm glad your doctor appt. went well. I think you need to move to South Florida, it will be 80 or 81 all week long.

Morning O-zies!! A sunny morning here today, but we will not be hitting the temps that are happening in the East! I am hoping the weather holds out for Thursday when Clara and I meet up! My poor daughter has not had a voice for three days now :sad: I hope that she is better today! My goodness the poor girl has enough going on with her already, now to have laryngitis too!! :gaah: Not fair!! Hoping to get out to the pool today and get my laps in, then tomorrow we will be hiking as far as I know. Thursday meeting with Clara and then Friday is my birthday and DH will be home from work because it is Good Friday. A busy week and then next week will be even busier with me heading out to Courtney to watch the Grandkids for a week. I am hoping to bring along my EHD so I can continue to do some pages etc while the kids are in school. Should be able to get lots of walks in with Storm also, so hope the weather is good while I am there!

Chris - Ugh so sorry to hear that you need to continue to see the mammo dr. More MRI's and exams!! That sucks!! But I suppose it is best to make sure that things are all good! So happy to hear that your weather has warmed up for you!! :bliss: I hope you get those legs shaved too LOL!! Yes I suppose I did have a hangover :becky: really did not think that I had that much to drink, but man did I have a headache LOL. Enjoy the beautiful day and I hope you get that ham and all the fixings!! Yummy!!

Nancy - DH will be happy to hear that you will be cheering on his Bruins! I don't think he has much faith that they will go to far in the playoffs. But who knows?? Yes with my Keto diet I drink way more water than I used to, and feel so much better for it! Except when I have too much wine LOL. Your blue apron meals sound so good!! How nice that there is hardly any clean up too!! That is the worst part of meal prep! Poor Luther must be finding it a lot warmer on his walks if his tongue is hanging out LOL. I hope you both enjoy the lovely warm weather!!

Cindy - If you ever do make it back to Victoria, let me know its not that far for me to go to meet you! I think we all need to move to Florida where the weather is warmer, but could you stop the humidity for me? LOL it makes my hair really frizzy :becky: Have fun with your new Photoshop CC !! I love my CS6 and probably won't switch for a few years.

Rae - Are you out with Taz enjoying this great morning! The cherry blossoms are so gorgeous right now and the air is smelling sweet! We should be a Butchart Gardens now while all the cherry blossoms are out, but I am sure that there will plenty of gorgeous blooms in May too! Hope your work day is not too bad and I am checking out your Pins for some Keto recipes today! Have a great day!

Gotta get my bed made and empty the dishwasher, then perhaps I will get out in the back garden and do some raking. Hopefully can FaceTime with Heather and Mason and really hope that Heather will be able to talk to me LOL! Have a fabulous Tuesday everyone! :wave:

Good morning, ladies. The sun is shining here (finally) although still a bit cool (48). Two tulips are going to be blooming soon in my garden. Hope the cold evening/morning temps don't kill them off. Darrell's chair he ordered from the Brick is in so we'll be picking that up tonight or tomorrow. I'll be surprised if he holds off til the wkend. I'm pretty sure he's anxious to get his butt into the new comfy recliner.

I made a short keto vid for my youtube channel this morning. I'm enjoying these, its fun, and only takes a few minutes with my iphone.

I'm going to do some housework today and lots of desk work to do so probably won't get outdoors until later this afternoon with Taz.

Chris - so jealous of your warm temps.
Trudy - how fun to get to meet Clara.
Nancy - sure sounds like some delicious meals you are having! Jealous of your good weather too.
Ciindy - hope the cold goes away quickly.

I'm getting to work now b/c the sooner I finish, the sooner I can get out with Taz later. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
