The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
hello, dear Ooos!
I am feeling a little confused. When I checked the weather an hour ago, it said it was going to rain all day. Now it looks bright and sunny. I am not sure what to do today. LOL
I had planned on finishing up the housework and dealing with scrap stuff/desk stuff. But if it is going to be warm-ish and sunny, I want to be outside. I am so conflicted! Part of me thinks that I should take the day and do nothing. It has been a kooky month, hasn't it? Now that I am thinking about it, I am soooooooooooooooooo tired. So tired. Maybe I should take it easy today.
I don't know... (first world/unemployed person problems, eh?)

I got a few texts/calls that everyone had a nice time together, Tom is getting family approval too. The fact that he actually talked to the fam was a big improvement over her Ex. He would usually sulk in a corner. Am I exaggerating? Or letting my true feeling out in the open more? I tried for so long to give him the benefit of the doubt for Caits sake. My BFF knew how much I disliked him for her. I wish I could go back in time and tell her from the very beginning to not date him, (and to think, I was the one who told her she should go for it. Stupid, Faery!)
Anyway- 'nuff about him. [tape smilie]

back to MEEEEEEEE! :cool:

I was able to get almost everything done yesterday as well as started food shopping. I found a coupon for online shopping so I just have to finish the order this morning and pick it up tomorrow. I also have to text my friend again, still, no word from her at all and I really hope I didn't do something to make her mad. I can't imagine *what* but this is so odd. Did I mention that I saw her son at the FP? Asked him how she was, he said fine. *shrugs*

I think I might be overtired. My brain is fuzzy. And did you hear?????????? Coffee prices are expected to go higher due to climate change and growing issues. Gah!
Now that I have worked myself into a tizz... I will shut up and sign off.
xoxo
 
@tanteva how is my Marten today? I hope he is acting more himself and feeling lots better. I hear ya on how fall can be pretty and ugly too. Depends on the sun mostly. I am a pasta girl too but still can't get over putting ketchup on it. Sorry, but yuck! Now you have me thinking I should make homemade gravy, I have the tomatoes and onions, do I have tomato paste? I have to, somewhere. Maybe I will make that for dinner and do a double batch for my parents- I can add salt to ours and leaves their's unsalted.
ROTFLMAO- DSD is only a few days away. Maybe I should get ready and scrap instead????

Kay- how nice to see the balloons again. They didn't have the Festival last year, right? It has to be a great sign of things getting better. Your room is looking great!! You are so organized. Glad my nagging voice kept ya in line! LOL
Hope that the weather stays perfect for you.
No scrapping today... the neck and shoulders are sore so will be giving them a rest for a day or two. Got to be in shape for iDSD.... hahahaha....

I have this image in my head of you rolling your shoulders and then cracking your neck to each side to get ready. hah

@Cherylndesigns Last night I dreamed that FIL took us on vacation and we were in a beautiful resort. We were in an upper-level room with a view right over the ocean and could watch the waves out the window. That is more like it!
The wedding sounds really strange, so the guests were kind of left to fend for themselves?

@felis I know how you feel, hope you are better rested today

HUGS!
 
Morning everyone! A sunny blue sky today, but lots of big black clouds are coming our way. I was absent from here yesterday, but I did manage to get lots of other things done. I cleaned all of the bathrooms (we have 4) Ugh!!! I got the downstairs all vacuumed and then worked on a birthday card for the boy across the street. He had his big party on Saturday, but his actual birthday is today. Happy Birthday Damon!! He became good friends with our Mason two summers ago and he often comes over to visit with us, they are all such wonderful neighbours! His Mom and Dad got the Gelato Truck to come and they treated most of the neighbourhood to gelato ice creams!! So fun! I went for a long walk and tried to clear the cob webs from head. I need to do that more often it seems. I downloaded a few things from the shop here and will work on a couple of pages today. Tomorrow is my hiking day and it is supposed to be rainy again, but hopefully we can send out the nice weather vibes again and perhaps it will hold off long enough for us to finish our hike. We have been pretty lucky so far!

@faerywings - Chris you are doing so well with your to do lists!! I should probably start making lists for myself instead of flitting back and forth between projects. Hmmm strange... I can't access the smileys today??? I hear ya about the conflict between getting indoor stuff done or being outside all day!! I vote for the outside stuff, the inside stuff will still be there tomorrow right?
Glad to hear that your family had such a great time at the party!! Wonderful that they all like the new boyfriend too! As far as Cait's other guy, well sometimes our kids just need to make a few mistakes along the way. It builds character right?? But Whew thank goodness she saw the light! I am starting to panic over Christmas already and keep hearing how its going to be really hard this year to get the things we want. No one has the staff to get all the container shipments unloaded and everything is just sitting in storage. I have been waiting for a parcel from the States for over a month now, what is it going to be like at Christmas??

Just got a txt from Heather, she is wanting to face time so I will sign off here and catch up with you all soon! Have a great Tuesday everyone!
 
Good afternoon all.

I went back to the ortho today - it was almost 2 1/2 weeks since I broke my clavicle. They did another x-ray and when he came into the room he said "Dang girl - what are you doing to heal this fast?" He was honestly shocked. The bone was almost completely back together. I told him I wasn't over using it, keeping my harness and sling on and using ice when necessary. He told me to come back in a week and said "whatever I was doing to keep on doing it". He's a funny guy - one of the sweetest doctors I've ever been to. I'm convinced that all the years of core strength training + the vitamins I've been taking for years has paid off. He said there was NO reason that I wouldn't be able to resume my training in awhile and he said probably sooner than later. Great to hear!

Chris @faerywings what a great dream - NO bathrooms involved this time and I still must be channeling you because of the ocean. My favorite thing is to look out over the water and listen to the waves. I'm SO happy that your dinner went well and that they're responding. Best of all, they're accepting Tom. People can be so superficial at times ;(. One of the women who we've met out here is like that - my husband doesn't like facial piercings and you know that he was so angry when I got my tat. LOL Anyway, this girl is SO sweet and he instantly judged her but he has gotten over it. I always talk him down and remind him of the time I came home with my one. Haha He's getting better - or least he makes me think he is.

Kay @BrightEyes I'm so envious of you getting to see the hot air balloons. I hope you got some pictures. When we lived in Michigan, many moons ago, we were in the flight path of the hot air balloons. Almost every weekend (evening) in the summer, they're float over our houses. We'd all be out on our decks and they're try to come down a little so we could get some pictures. They're just so beautiful!

Trudy @taxed4ever that stinks about the smoke. Especially on such a beautiful, blue sky day. It's pretty here, but hot again. UGH. I'm so ready for cooler weather. it dipped down, but it's back up again.

After the dr, we went and bought some bales of straw for the front porch, some big gnarly pumpkins (I just love that kind) and I got some plastic leaves and other "stuff" and we found a cute scarecrow to add to the mix. We're both too tired to mess with it but everything is sitting on the porch. We got some great big mums the other day too. Chris @faerywings I ordered a 36" skeleton from Amazon when I got home. I get it in 2 days. I want to keep Tex inside. Do you have skeletons creeping around everywhere yet? I'll have to check FB. When I get my porch done, I'll take pix.

I'd better get off here - typing still bothers me if I do much of it and I want to continue progressing. Hopefully, I'll be back in full swing by the middle of October.

Waving to all.
 
Well, it's been one of those days. Luckily it's only one hour left of it, and I'm going to spend that hour watching Downton Abbey.

Guess it's just the last few weeks that's making me overwhelmed.

I'm home all day tomorrow, but working Thursday. A bit anxiuos about that, cuz today the boss had a meeting with that coworker, and I'm not sure if she'll blame me or not.

good evening - as Chris said it was to be a lot of rain today and while I had a mid morning thunderstorm nothing this evening. The day turned sunny and I was able to get in a good walk. I am enjoying these beautiful days. Today I saw two catbirds, a downy woodpecker, sparrows, robin and several blue jays. Made me so happy. Also on Apple+ TV they now have the taped version of the Broadway show Come From Away. OMgosh it was so good. It was amazing and even my DH enjoyed the parts he watched. I now have to see it live. I also caught up on Ted Lasso. I love that show. I makes me laugh and cry. It comes out with a new episode on Fridays so it is hard to wait. It was the Emmy for best Comedy and Jason Sudeikis won for best actor. Monday my son and his fiancé came down and we had dinner out but my DH could not go as he was zooming class as he was home sick. Today I found out the my goalie is the one player not vaccinated on my team. He talked to the press and said he has not totally ruled out getting the vaccine. I hope he does. But I guess the fact he wears a mask is good LOL. Not that I think this is funny because I think he should get the vaccine. I have been doing a lot of reading. Romance novels but with a plot. It is just fun.

@faerywings Chris I knew the party would go well! So glad that Tom is fitting in so well. But I know how hard it is as a parent to find that line about who our kids date and marry. You want to warn them but sometime they have to find out for themselves. Glad Cait now has Tom. Congrats on getting the food done. Sorry that your friend is still MIA.

@taxed4ever Trudy hope the weather holds for your hike tomorrow. Glad you got so much cleaning done. Enjoy scrapping with the new goodies. I am loving seeing the live hockey again even with it being preseason.

@tanteva Eva it must be so nice to see that Marten is doing so much better. I really enjoyed Downton Abbey. Lots of ups and downs. I waited to long after most had seen the series and was glad that I finally watched it!

@felis felis you are right I should try Sex Education. I guess 13 Reasons and Riverdale are dark shows. I still have not watched the last season of 13 Reasons. But it is still no my to watch list. I did watch a fun show on Netflix - Dive Club. About a group of teenage divers who find treasure. On 12 short episodes. Hope they do a season 2.

@Cherylndesigns Cheryl that is such good news about the break healing so fast! I guess if you follow directions LOL.

Waving!
