Daily Ooo's: Wednesday, June 10

[faerywings]

Wednesday, correct?
I am 100% not enjoying this time elasticity. Makes my head spin a bit.

Yesterday I had finishing my food shopping as the Big To-Do and I had a bunch of smaller to-dos. I guess that I should be happy that I did the food shopping but everything else on my list? Huhn... they are all moved to today's list, on top of the things I need to do already. Silly things mostly, just starting to pile up. :? And here I am, just wanting to ignore life.
Caitlyn and I tried to work on her Financial Aid package for Grad School and it is pretty ugly. She is going to graduate school with over $50,000 in debt. And to think that is nothing compared to some people. She is questioning whether it is worth it. I made the mistake of not supporting her emotionally. I replied casually- "well you are already $11K in debt and you aren't going to be able to find a job in your field with just a BA." BZZZZ- Wrong answer! Crap. I am trying to help her and Scott who, like I said has no idea when/if he will have a job. Parenting in a Pandemic was not in the Training Manual! I am glad that she called me on it. I have to listen more than advise, not a strong skill of mine. I have made a slew of parenting mistakes this past week, human and fur-baby. We took the three dogs for a walk yesterday and went farther than we usually do. We overdid it for Ravyn. She was having a really hard time walking last night, the poor thing is so stiff. I don't have any Rimadyl left either.

I spent another 2 hours in the backyard, weeding around the firepit, moved a small hosta that was getting blocked by a larger one. It never got hot and the humidity also stayed low so it was a fab day to be outside. I also got to spend a bunch of time with the rats and they always make me laugh.

I am going to have to make myself stay inside and get everything done before I even consider going outside today. That means I best sign off.

Nancy- That is a long time to be in the car and not be able to drink anything. My mom asked me about going down the shore for the day and I worried about the bathrooms. It is funny how we take something like that for granted, right? How did the visit go yesterday with DH's appt? Will he have to do the COVID test and quarantine again before the next eye is done? I would imagine. Better to be safe!
I miss our bears! It must be strange to see one in a non-rural(ish) area like up here.

Trudy- I am sending you beautiful weather vibes so you can get on that hike today. If it is rainy, be careful where ya put your feet! no slipping allowed! It will feel amazing to get out on the trails and away from the cabinets. You are so close to being done. I bet it looks wonderful and bright and clean.
Turtles are probably a good pet for little boys with their hard shells LOL Yeah-- nope, don't even think about coming into the US. I saw the NJ stats for new cases yesterday and it is still so high but we are so far down compared to where we were.

Kay! ugh!!! So sorry to hear about the car battery and the rest of it. I hope that it gets fixed quickly. ITA-- thank goodness it happened at your house.

xoxo

Morning ladies... well it is not a nice morning, it is very wet out there. A misty sort of rain, but the forecast is saying that it will stop soon and then just a lot of cloud for the rest of the day. :mmph: we will see. Oh well I will be going on my hike regardless, I need to get out of the house and see other people LOL. So another day away from the priming and painting as I wait patiently for DH to be home on Friday so we can get this job finished! I am so happy with the way it is looking! I hope to show the before and after photos soon! I made my page for Vicki Robinson's fun challenge this month and was happy with the end result. It was good to be scrapping once again!

Chris - Yes the days just seem to melt into one another don't they? Sorry that you and Cait had a bit of a rough time, but hey your human and we all make mistakes and we all could be better listeners!! I am sure that she knows you meant no harm! It's like our Dr. Bonnie Henry says... Be kind to one another. We just love her here in B.C. Here is a little clip about our Health Minister if you are interested ... https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1972478

Kay - I hope that your car is now in good working order and that it did not cost you a fortune to get fixed! Yes you were very lucky that it happened at home at least! Hope your day is going better today!

Ok I better get my lunch paced and get my rain coat out for the hike. Send me some nicer weather for this morning please everyone! Have a great Wednesday and stay safe!! :wave:

good morning - the weather is hazy hot and humid! Summer weather. My DH's eye is great and he says colors are so vibrant. I think he likes it. But because the other eye is bad he still needs glasses which makes the fixed eye not see well. LOL. He has to go through the Covid test and quarantine again before the next eye is fixed. Had a good conversation with my sister this morning. She said things in AZ are not going well as cases for the virus have been increasing and the hospitals are getting close to max. They also have no contact tracing in place. But she is happy as she had to have a cornea transplant and it worked and she can really see. I am so happy for her. She will have to have the other eye done but not for a while while they make sure this eye continues to improve. Walked Luther in the evening and it was gorgeous as the humidity had not yet arrived. Today walk again in the evening. Do some scrapping.

Chris yesterday was so nice. Glad you enjoyed the out side. Sorry about Rayvn being so stiff. I can understand LOL. Hope you get sometime outside.

Trudy hope that if there is rain it is enough to keep you cool. Have fun! I know you have been waiting for this for a long time. Congrats on getting the kitchen done. What a feeling that must be!

Kay that was so good that the battery failed at home and not some where else. Hope you get your car back soon. It is such a pain to be without a car even if you know you don't need to go anywhere.

Jean and Felis hope things are good.

Gratitudes
Having my DH and sister be able to see better
Warm weather

Hi Trudy have fun!

Morning, gals. I did a happy dance yesterday afternoon. The dealership called around 3 PM to say my car was ready. Called Son-in-law#1 and he came over to drive me there. No more courtesy car since Covid-19 so was glad that SiL was on his day off and could take me. Got over there, signed the charge but then couldn't find my car in the parking lot. Turns out that there was another person with the same last name and the cashier had grabbed her paperwork. So... they found my paperwork and did a refund on the charge... etc.... The dealership was less than a mile from a WM so I stopped there and picked up what I needed before heading home.

Decided that my acid reflux meds had quit working and was causing part of the increased coughing I have been experiencing. Picked up some over-the-counter meds and that seem to help last night as I didn't wake up coughing during the night! Will give it a week to see how well it helps then let my gastro doc know. This has happened several times in the past - seem like the meds work okay for about 4 years then need to be changed.

Now that the car is fixed I need to do a couple of errands today... take back the library book and mail a couple of bills. Hope that today is like yesterday with temps in the high 70's and no wind.

Chris... I understand your response to Cait was what it was.... Give her a big hug and tell her you love her and support her. You were thinking one thing and she was thinking another. Right now is such a hard time for those that just graduated. Hard to not offer advice at that time.

Wow, Nancy... that is a long time to be stuck in your car with no access to a restroom! Glad your DH got the one eye done and will soon have the other one done. It is amazing how much better he will be seeing.

Trudy, glad you are getting out on the trails again. I know you have missed it. The cabinets will get done when they get done. Try not to stress over not meeting your own imposed deadline. << hugs >>

Hope today is a good day for all.

Hello girls!
I'm around, but really struggle with finding for what to write! We have lovely weather with hot days and rainy evening and nights. Which allows me to have no guilty in spending time for reading.
Now it follows the political tirade, so skip it if you not in mood for that! :ban: I had need to step back from my online life, as this social politicking which some freaks makes under the post of celebrities and influencers, offending their follower, because we not care enough for the US problem disgusts me! If I see another BLM post will start screaming! I mean I support the movement! But don't care more for it, than for war in afghanistan (which is way more close to my country) or for the rights of arabian women. I can't get it why someone people continue to insist for the whole attention, and they have no previous posts about human rights?! :loco: They are made donation and based on that pretend to be an activist. I guess this is the ugly side of the social media, as everybody have tribune to offend in wish for likes. I read few articles in try to understand the movement's problems, but then get really disgusted by all these fake activists posting comments under them, which tries to save the world by being rude!


Chris, I so sorry for your argue with Caitlyn, hope no one to being hurt! Some of you was told me that this isolation make the things difficult, and it sounds me true! Sorry, but you have no reason to worry for her, as psychologist are usually extend paid and in luxury cabinets! And in the circle of joke, but still true, as beautiful single woman, she still have the option for first marriage for financial freedom, and second for love LOL!

Trudy, hope you was enjoying on your hike!

Nancy, oh, so relief to hear that your husband is feeling well! These eye procedures scares me so much! So now he have to wear glasses with only one glass?

Kay, hope you resolved the meds problems! Nice that SIL was able to help with the car!

Jean :wave: !
