I have no idea what day it is or what I am supposed to be doing or...
*pulls self together*

Nothing other than the usual mental chaos. Yesterday was just one of those days where nothing went well. Nothing truly wrong, just chaotic.
Taxes-- booooooo
My mom's health- booooooooooo
More taxes- BOOOOOOOO
Still no word from the state- booooooooooooooooooooooooo
BFF and her DS (my nephew) having existential crises- booooooo
Me not being able to help- booooooooo
My parents not speaking to each other (again) - boooooo (I think? Maybe not a boo? I dunno anymore)
News around the world- boo sobs and more booooooo
Scott and Caitlyn saw I was frazzled yesterday and each asked if I had looked any further into therapy. There is no money for it. I guess if I had money, I would be less stressed so it doesn't make sense to spend money I don't have to learn how to destress some more.
(Money- boooooooooooooooo)

I wish I could go back to bed but I am off to pick up groceries and then I am cleaning for my friend. I feel bad, his older cat (the last one of the 4 that he moved here with) most likely has kidney disease. So happy that he has the little guy to keep him company too. I hope that he comes out to see me again. He popped out twice the last time I was there and then scurried off. I need a cat-friend. :D


Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
 
@taxed4ever *fingers crossed for good weather today* It's sunny but really cold again here. Hope you get a good hike in. That is really sweet of your group to ask you to make cards for your hiking buddy. And I wouldn't; know what to say either. What can you say?
The soup sounds good, I bet it is something that Scott would eat even though he doesn't like soup. You are really making me wish I had room in my kitchen for an Instapot- again LOL
Yeah, I started playing Worlde in January. There are so many copycats - I tried Semantle where you guess words based on meaning (tells you if you are hot or cold/ close to it). It is more interesting and challenging than Wordle but after three attempts, I couldn't think of any different words after 30 or so guesses and gave up each time

@bcgal00 The house must feel so weird being mostly empty. Lots of room for the dogs to run around inside :)

@BrightEyes what a relief to only have to deal with rain. The bookstand sounds really cool- can you send me a link? My parents would probably use something like that and might be helpful for them post-surgery(ies).

@Cherylndesigns Ellie B is utterly adorable. My Ray was the same way with storms and fireworks. Wouldn't stop shaking. Thanks for giving her belly rubs, did you sneak in an extra treat too?
Sorry to hear about Alyssa and the BF :(
Have you heard how I sobbed through Frankenweenie?? haha!! I have to use DoesTheDogDie.com all of the time.

Good morning ladies. Just a quick visit from me this morning. Work is crazy busy this week but in a very good way. I didn’t even have time for lunch yesterday but I need to keep my hours to 40 (the benefit of doing contract work) so I’ll need to shorten the hours somewhere else.

@faerywings so sorry for the bad day yesterday! I hope that the world is better today! I TOTALLY AGREE on Decker. The people are way too timid for him. Shaun is supposed to take him this afternoon to work with a trainer and the people are bringing their dog. I talked with Mary (the FUR rescue person) and she thinks she has another foster family that might be willing to adopt him. No other dogs. They lost their dog a couple of months ago. Sounds like a much better option for Decker! And I made corned beef for the first time ever this weekend. It turned out great. Great news on holding your weight through Covid.

@taxed4ever Shaun started swimming again yesterday. For Christmas we got him a tether that allows him to swim as hard and fast as he can without going anywhere…like swimming in place. Our pool is only 25 feet long and Shaun swims that in his streamline so it isn’t long enough for him to really swim but the tether makes it work. He said it was cold (72*) and he said he had turned into a wimp. For my exercise, 25 feet is plenty for me. I’m slow and get tired easily and I don’t do flip turns so I use those turns to take a break. LOL

@Cherylndesigns LOVE your new family member…so, so sweet. And how nice that it is really your granddaughter’s puppy…she does all of the potty training!
 
Morning, all. Woke up to a winter wonderland!!!! Yep... we got snow overnight. Looks like about 4" - 5" of wet snow which is what we need - with lots of moisture in it! The tree branches are loaded and look so lovely. Just glad it was this morning and not tomorrow when I take Chari over for her surgery. The temp is hovering at 32* so I dashed out just at dawn and took some pictures. It will probably be melted by this afternoon.

Yes, tomorrow is the big day... have to be at the hospital by 6AM. She is the first patient. If all goes well, we should be back home by 10AM. I think we have things ready for her in her room and done the practice for it. We were in stitches as we worked on figuring out how she could get in and out of the shower without putting her foot on the ground. Thank goodness she has the knee scooter as that will be a life-saver as she moves around. And so glad that I have grab bars in the toilet area and shower stall.

@faerywings So sorry you have so many worries right now... hoping that some of those issues will resolve and you get to feeling better about them. <<< hugs >>> Oh... here is the link to the book stand I bought... Book Stand I like that it has expandable arms with holders on the end so it will work with books from small paperback to larger hardback books.

@LSlycord that tether sounds like it is working for Shaun to get a good swim workout. But... brrrr.... 72* sounds way too cold to be in the water! But guys will brave the cold and enjoy it, too!!!

@bcgal00 It is getting so close to move time for you. I know you will be so glad once it is over and done. So good that you have Jen to help with some of the packing, sorting.

@taxed4ever I saw your post on FB... wow... you are so talented! It makes me want to dig out my paints and play around.

Coffee cup is empty again... Hope everyone has a good day.
 
Good morning everyone, there are patches of blue sky out there this morning! Hooray! Hopefully it will be a dry hike! We are doing a two part hike this morning, one around Chemainus Lake and then we will drive to the trailhead of Stocking Creek and hike our way around that area. It will make for a much longer hike than we usually do, but thats ok I really need the exercise! Neither one is very difficult so I shouldn't get stiff or sore from this one LOL. I might see if my friend would like to do a hike on Thursday it is supposed to be a sunny day. I had a nice day of crafting yesterday! Got another card made for the group to choose from. Worked on a page for the Colour Play and just puttered around enjoying my craft room. DH wants me to make a retirement card for his work mate. It is her last day on Friday, so I will have to get that done this afternoon or tomorrow morning. It will be interesting to see how my Gary likes his co-worker, she will have lots to learn! Perhaps it will push him into retirement too?? I doubt it LOL. So I will do some quick personals and then get my pack ready to go and hit the road.

@faerywings - Ouch not a good day for you at all yesterday!! Sorry to hear that you still have not heard from State grrrr!! Sad that your Mom and Dad are not getting along either! Hope that the kitty comes out to play with you today while you clean for your friend, perhaps that will help put you in a better frame of mind!

@tanteva - I love this quote from the Dalai Lama !! Words of wisdom for sure!!!

@LSlycord - Our son bought one of those tethers for his pool and I used it almost everyday when we were there last summer! It really is a workout! I do love to do my flip turns though so missed doing that while tethered. Here is me all tethered off LOL

@BrightEyes - Thanks Kay for the nice comment, I hope you do get your paints out again and play around a bit! Yikes more snow? Hope it melts quickly!

Oh dear heather is calling so I gotta go CYL!!
 
Good afternoon all.

The sun is trying to break through - it's only 45 here today, but Chuck The Weatherman says it's going to start warming up again tomorrow. I hope he's right.

Chris @faerywings money is the root of everything, isn't it? I got that message from your post - if we had plenty of it, our lives would be a whole lot easier. PERIOD. Simone Biles is advertising a new online therapy platform called Cerebral - I don't know anything about it, but you might check it out.

I guess Alyssa is doing well after the breakup - he's not doing so well. She's been cooling on him for awhile, so I wasn't surprised.
I didn't give Ellie a treat because I don't think Ava's giving her any treats yet. She took her to a trainer today and the trainer was going to use her kibble as treats. She also wanted Ava to bring a "clicker" and I still had one from when we trained our Lab, Sam. Saved her a trip to the pet store. She's getting crate trained, also. She'll go to the trainer 2x a week, then on to more rigorous training a little later on. This is puppy obedience training which I SO believe in. I told Ava that, at some point, SHE had to become the handler - that has to happen. She's not sure what the trainer's plan is for that.

Kay @BrightEyes I hope all goes well tomorrow. Sounds like you have the plan in place and those knee scooters are great.

Linda @LSlycord I'm in the same lane as you and Chris with Decker - those people don't ring true to me. They either want him or they don't. I don't understand that mentality.

I'm going to get off here now - the girls just left and I need to work on a pre-release.

Hugs to all.
 
Ok, I'm working tomorrow. Don't remember who asked, but yes, I am working every Thursday til Easter. Then there's 2 weeks with no work (due to them being short work weeks since it's Easter). After that I haven't seen the schedule, but as I understand it, I will be working Thursdays again, until beginning of May, when I will be switching to Mondays. Urban works the evening shift on Mondays, and the person he works with will retire in May. Boss thought it was easier for us to work the same evening. But, I haven't seen that schedule yet, so ... we'll see.

Not much happening here, that's why I've not been so chatty lately. Been trying to catch up on scrapping & CT work, but brain is still fuzzy & I mess up with the new stuff.

Made taco soup for dinner today. Tasted better thannI thought. Made quesadillas tomgo with it. It was like a party in the middle of the week. :D
