Hey there and good morning to you!

Somehow, I survived yesterday. Not that it was in question, only in my own head. I am still unsettled and (somewhat) unhappy. I swear I am an emotional sponge. I know I am, know that I am reacting that way, and have no idea how to stop it. pfft.
When we were at the vet the other night, two people had brought dogs in for euthanasia and I got choked up, practically in tears. I am like that with strangers and it's so much worse with the people I love.
Gary and I talked about money and housing and Caitlyn while we were out yesterday. He has so much guilt over being disabled and unable to work so all of this *waved hands around* is affecting him too. He is much better at compartmentalizing than I am. Really--*everyone* is much better at that than I am LOL

Cait and I got into a little bicker-fight, snapping at each other. I had dinner planned out, defrosted the chicken, and had everything ready in my head. At 1 pm, she tells me that Tom is coming for dinner. That would be fine but I had nothing in the house to feed him. Since she is 100% stressed out that made her defensive and then it bloomed from there. :(

I have to pick up groceries this morning and clean for my friend this afternoon. Do you think if I hide in his Iron Maiden, I can get some peace and quiet?
Yes, he has an Iron Maiden replica in his house.
Really.

@Nonni F How's the poison ivy today?
My FB feed constantly shows me ads for gardening sleeves and this is the third year I have seen them. They almost got me last year-- I checked the shop's website, poked around, looked at the price, and said-- just wear a long sleeve t-shirt, Faery. Not that I will when it's hot. I'll just complain about being itchy.
:rotfl: at your tip!!

*blinks rapidly at your description of the house and its contents* We didn't have to deal with that kind of "junk" -thank goodness. We had mold in the kitchen cabinets and I already mentioned the boulder in the foundation and the tree truck in the attic. But no drug paraphernalia. We did find a French bayonet in the basement rafters. Gary looked it up, it's not worth anything so we have it as part of the LR decor. hahaha!!
Sidenote: We had heroin dealers that lived across the street from us, can't tell you how many times police and EMTs were there.

@taxed4ever Trudy!! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had been so careful for so long! How are you feeling today, any better?? Sending you big hugs and some virtual chicken soup. Rest as much as you can. :hug2:
Let me know if you need any help here behind the scenes.

Love and hugs!!

WWW: Do you have any wishes and wants?

My WWW is wishing good health to everyone who needs it.
I am wanting to know what to make for dinner.
I am *wishing* that life would be easier for everyone

Good Morning, Everyone.... hoping the shingles, the COVID and everything else is getting better.
@faerywings my poison ivy isn't TOO much worse. I can still see out of my eye.... sort of... so I'll consider that a win! LOL
A bunch more broke out on my arm. But.... this too shall pass.

The French bayonet made me chuckle and reminded me of when I ordered pens to write on glasses for our wedding reception. I ordered a little box of six colored markers from Amazon and they came with a hatchet. Yup... a really nice, really sharp hatchet. ...and yes.... signs of doom... we still got married... and still have the hatchet.

Good Morning ladies... Well its not a very good morning for me!! I haven't been this sick in I don't know how long!! There are times when I think I am starting to feel better and then I need to go and lay down again as the chills hit me and the headache returns! So achy and so done with it!! I should be out hiking today, but nope thats not happening (I would probably faint half way through). Friday I should be going to Gary's Aunt Marions Internment and memorial get together with all his cousins and their families, but nope that's not happening either. I feel so bad that I will not be attending, she was my fav Aunt of his and she is the one who taught me how to swim when I was a little girl. :rollingpin1:STUPID COVID!! My Gary will most likely still go, but he will test himself first to make sure he is negative, he probably won't go to the get together after, he doesn't want to risk getting anyone sick especially his elderly parents or Aunties. At least the internment is outside and he will keep his distance from everyone, but we both feel it is important that one of us should be there to represent our family. I haven't been able to do to much over the past couple of days except sleep A LOT!! It is all I can do to sit here and type this, so I will sign off here and try to return later for personals! Thank you all so much for your care and concern I hope you all stay well, because let me tell you, you do not want this!! Covid is still out there dam it!!

Oh my gosh, Trudy @taxed4ever you have covid???? I'm SO sick of hearing about this. At least Gary gets to go to the memorial. Will this stuff never go away???#angry2

We finally had "family clean up our front garden day" today. It took about an hour and a half to get it all done. Roger, Braden, Ava, Adrienne and I all pitched in and got it knocked out. It looks so good now and it's ready for the new mulch which will happen tomorrow. We had so much fun.

We moved a couple of my plants and got a couple of new ones in the ground and now I need to get about three plants to replace the ones that didn't make it. We'll go back to the nursery this weekend. My black-eyed Susans are going to be beautiful growing across my trellis.

I think I'll be able to get in here tomorrow and update everybody.

XOXO
