Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, June 4

[faerywings]

what is *wrong* with the weather here?? It is 48*. I am wearing fuzzy socks, a t-shirt, a long sleeve T, *and* a sweatshirt and I am still cold. (sweatpants too- don't want you to think that was all that I am wearing. :fear: )
Yesterday was really cold too-- I think we got close to 60* but the wind was terrible. At least the sun was out so it looked warmer than it felt. I was still in post-parent-bickering hangover much of the day. I was going to call each of them to check in and decided against it. I needed a breather.

Dr's appt was ok. The orthotics feel sort of strange at the moment but if they will help my feet overall, I am sure that I will get used to it quickly enough. The downside to the appt was that he wants me to go for physical therapy. My tendons/ligaments are spasming which is why I am still having back in the back of my heel and up my calf. Because I live in the boonies the closest PT that takes my insurance is over a half hour away. Because, of course. :doh: Good PoV- it isn't winter so I won't have to worry about driving in snow. So there is that.

Today I am going with Cait to take her rats to the vet. Little Livvie and a lump on her chest by her ribs. It doesn't feel like a tumor, but she wants it checked out. As long as she is going to be there, she is going to have the vet look at Cordelia's abscess too. As soon as I get home, I have to go food shopping. blech. This afternoon, I hope to get some LOs uploaded- I have two completed and maybe I can start a third? That is if I can somehow get my brain to wake up. I had one of the worst night's sleep in a long time. I was cold when it was just me but as soon as Gary and two dogs came up, it got too warm. The dogs and Gary stole blankets. Then the dogs were barking because someone was outside at 1 am, walking up and down the street with a flashlight.

Scrapping or napping?
Nope, not napping- that always makes me feel worse.

The sun is shining so that will help.

Nancy- I hate this cold weather! Did it ever get to 70 for you? Not up here. How was the hockey game? My SIL's dog Tucker prefers to be outside in the rain too. I am glad that naps make you feel better!!

Trudy- I hope that you were able to enjoy the sun while it was out. Maybe it will be better for you for your hike tomorrow.
Were you able to get the fun things done that you wanted to do?

Jean- you must have been in a very creative mood yesterday- would love to see that altered book!

Felis- I hope that you have more time for your hobbies too.
I hope that you see the groundhog!

Better get going since I have a feeling it will take me a while to get ready.
xoxo

We're off to the computer genealogy group board meeting and lunch at newly renovated Mexican restaurant soon. I got another page of the altered book done, but still three to go. Got to get more ideas. It was nice when we got up that two bunnies were in the back yard eating clover perhaps.

Felis, hope that the digger is a hedgehog! and not the sly villain. Scrapping is so much easier when you have photos you like to work with, hope you're inspired by your sister's trip pictures. Books can be altered in various ways. I took a small (silly to me anyway) book and began changing the pages with collage and things into something else. It isn't always the greatest, but it is interesting to do.

Chris, seems you'll be busy today but hopefully get warmer too. At least here it is supposed to warm up a bit. For now it's sunny too.

Trudy, sorry the Bruins lost, but they are home the next game, hopefully to win.

Morning, gals. Going to be another crazy day weather-wise. Beautiful sunshine and blue skies when I got up... but expecting clouds and rain later on today and tomorrow. Yesterday we had a storm come through. I watched the trees blowing like mad with winds from the west..then rain began... the wind switched and began blowing like mad from the east!!! The core of the storm cell passed right over us all in about 30 minutes. My poor patio swing looked like it was going to tip over during the worse of it.

Chris... I hear you about not being able to get warm!!! I have been like that for the past 2 months... cold no matter what I am wearing. Can't believe we are already into June and I still need the down comforter on the bed!!!

So sorry that your parents were bickering while you were there for a visit. You were wise to not call to check on how they are doing... sometimes being away from it is best. Glad you got some scrapping done... can't wait to see them.

Jean- The genealogical meeting must be very interesting. Ah... that lunch with Mexican food sounds so good. I have been craving some so may get some take-out for supper.

Wow, did you get a look at the Oldies but Goodies sale in the shop??? Saw some that I would love to add to my stash. Should be a fun month with new sales of them each week.

Have to make a trip to the grocery store. I am completely out of fresh fruits and lettuce, celery, etc. May hold off until tomorrow on the veggie market as Wed is both last weeks sale and this weeks sale day.

Morning everyone! I have already had my facetime with Heather and Hunter this morning. Poor Hunter is a grumpy gus!! It is hard to be two!! I tried to distract him a bit so his Mom could at least get dressed this morning LOL. He wouldn't let her leave the room, just wanted to cuddle with her. Poor Heather!! Oh well I kept him busy long enough for her to get dressed and get something to eat. Hopefully he will be happier after his nap! Today I am off to the pool to get my laps in and then I will take my newest painting to the gallery. Wish me luck that a few others have sold in the past couple of weeks! Here is a photo of my newest painting, it has a resin finish that turned out perfect after the second pour.

Not much else planned for the day so perhaps I will finally get the page that I started yesterday done. Last nights hockey game was a bit of a dissapointment, it looked like they just did not care about winning! How can you dominate in one game and play so badly in another!! I am sure the NHL wanted this so this will go to a game 7!! hwell:

Chris - good plan to not call your Mom and Dad. I am sure that you all need a break! Gosh your weather sure has been crazy this year! Where Heather is has also been very chilly and they have had the worst spring ever! Sure hope we will be able to provide them with some summer warmth and sunshine when they come out! Good luck at the Vet today, hopefully the lump is nothing to be concerned with!!

Jean - Have a good time at your computer genealogy group board meeting and lunch. Mexican food sounds pretty darn good!! Thanks for the good wishes for our Bruins, lets hope next game they come out to play!

Kay - Oh my goodness what crazy weather you are having too!! Hope it calms down and you finally get to feeling warm again! Hope you find some nice fresh fruits and veggies today!

Felis - I will ask my sister today to find out about the books for you, hopefully she will have the rest in bulgarian for you!! I hope that you get to find the hedgehog and that your little digger is not the other sly beech marten!! They are kind of cute, but not good for the chickens LOL. Hope you find some time to get some scrapping done today!

Ok I am late getting to the pool, so hopefully it is not too busy and the water is warmer than it was on thursday!! Have a great Tuesday everyone!! :wave:

good morning - I just got my hair cut and colored and I feel like a new person. It is nice and sunny but darn is it chilly. Yesterday barely got to 70. My DH said when he was walking Luther he could see his breath. This is June! I did sit in my backyard and read and it was gorgeous no humidity so there is that. I watched hockey and I have two more games as the Blues won. I just cant fathom how differently each team plays in the 4 games. All have been so different! Now wait two days for the next game. The worst part was seeing Zdeno Chara have a puck hit him in the face. Probably broken jaw. He came back to sit on the bench for support but wow the pain I just cant imagine.

Chris I hate this weather too! I know it is not cold but darn it is sure chilly. Glad you gave your parents distance. Best for all!

Kay your weather was crazy. Glad everything was ok! Always good to go to the store when there are sales.

Trudy again sorry about the hit to Chara. I hate to see that happen to any player. Hope weather improves and you get your hike in. Congrats on the new painting and doing your laps! That the life of a 2 year old - happy then grumpy all in the time it take to take a breath.

Jean have fun at the Board meeting! Wish there was a good Mexican restaurant in my area. Enjoy!

Felis hope you find the rascal! We had a whole family living in our yard one summer. I loved it and he did not really damage our yard but then I don't grow flowers or veggies. LOL.

Have a great day all!

Good morning, girls!
For the variety yesterday we had rain whole day and then we had quiet night. I love to listen crickets at the night! And I don't mind the rain, because at this time of the year I can sit at my garden, because of my allergy. But I'm afraid that we will not be able to find it in all this grass, after the wet. The climbing rose start to bloom and it's so pretty. But I don't see any of the others. And rain was so strong that Paeonia is falling down after only few days of bloom. :mmph:
Till I'm inside I finally read. It's so nice to read again. After I wasn't able to finish any of the book I started before, this time I bought mostly thrillers and so far just love Chevy Stevens! Thanks again, Trudy! But it's not because of my mood, right now I'm enjoying to love songs and to scrap vacation pages. I work on 3 pages at the same time, because I can't find the word art that I want to use and don't want to make a compromise with this pages. Pfuu, I know I told it too often, but I have to be more organized! I know I have this lovely french word art at some of the kits I bought previous year, but I couldn't find it for now! I have to start to put word art in separate folder as I make with some stationery elements.

Chris, bad that the therapist is away, but it's important so..., as you said at least it's summer . Hope vet to went well and nothing scary! Ouch, someone drive around at night I'm not surprised that dogs are gonna mad.

Jean, ooh, wild rabbits are so cute! I saw one last weekend on the road, just was waiting to passing by as a little gentleman. We wasn't saw wild rabbits from ages, because homeless dogs often lie at the fields, so the rabbits prefers to hide at the forest. the altered book definitely sounds very interesting! Have fun at the Mexican restaurant!

Trudy, the new painting is awesome! This red is so passionate or threateningly, depends of the imagination. Intriguing with sure! Oh, why little Hunter is sad? I bet you can't wait till you all are together! You and your sister are so sweet, I feels so uncomfortable to disturb your sister, but this is so exciting!

Nancy, ouch, what happens with the fairplay?! Haha, I don't mind my 'guest' to eat from the veggies, but I'm afraid this year they are too weak. I'm not a good gardener, mostly do it because of the tradition. For now we don't found anybody, but there is many hiding places.

Kay, just wait, girl, as Trudy often says: soon we will have to complain from the hotness! I saw this Oldies but Goodies sale, but honestly I'm not check it because I'm not fast enough to use them on time. Are they will be retired?
