Question for you all, especially the newer people here who might not be as familiar with how I think/talk/write:
How in the world can you follow what I am saying? I swear, between the typos and the entire chunks of words I leave out-- not to mention the meandering trains of thought, how do you interpret the mess I plop down here into English?
I swear to you, I skim over my posts before I hit Submit, but you would never be able to tell.

Although I have a hunch about how you do it. You can guess what I am talking about because I rotate through a very small subset of topics. As I type this, I remember what my "darling" *cough cough* kids said to me yesterday. I was complaining about it being cold and having a headache and I somehow combined it into one long somewhere. (Somehow. haha, I *somehow* did it-- my goodness it is the only way I communicate! LOL!!!) They think that I come with a pull-string a la Woody from Toy Story.
"I have a headache."
"I'm cold"
"I'm tired."
"My back hurts."
"I hate food shopping."
Those would be the top five. ROTFLMAO!!!
God, I love my kids but they can be mean. They also closed me into the laundry room and turned the light out -- they call it Messin' With Mom. :D:D:D

I made it through food shopping until the very end when they only had two cashiers open. Pfft. I don't like to use self-checkout with a big order, it loses its convenience if you are doing a lot of work, right? I use it when I have one or two things but for a cart full, I prefer to go to human, then I also get some social interaction with someone NOT locking me in the laundry room.;)
I also realized that it makes more sense to do online shopping b/c it takes impulse purchases away, so the $5 fee kind of pays for itself.

I made butternut squash pasta and homemade garlic rosemary breadsticks. So yummy. My dad's hip surgery is scheduled for June 8. I hope that my mom can get her's scheduled asap. She read somewhere and now is convinced that she won't be allowed to drive for six months after the pacemaker surgery. I don't; know where she is getting her info but I highly doubt that is true. No one in their right mind would get a PM unless they absolutely had no choice if that were the case. A few weeks, I can see, just like any post-op restrictions. 6 months seems verrrrrrrrrry excessive. Guess what I am doing today? Researching driving restrictions and pacemakers. I also have to check in with BFF. Her mom ended up with a couple of cracked ribs, she is exhausted and got into a mini-accident on her way to work in the morning. She just tapped the guy's bumper but it was the last thing she needed. I wish I could help her with all of "it."

It's going to be another frigid day (pulls string: "I'm cold." ) but tomorrow it should be near 60*
Yay!!

xoxoxo
 
@LSlycord I hope that this Dr was able to get some answers for Shaun. That has to be frustrating.
Decker's adoptive family-- this is different than the one who was really timid around him? It's a good sign to me that they let him on the sofa. I might be kooky, but IMHO you can tell when pets are truly part of the family when they have allowed on sofas and beds. (I also get that isn't always possible -- Harley wasn't allowed on sofas unsupervised b/c she ate 'em and when I was pg, we made her ask permission before she jumped up with us. But generally speaking, to me, it's a good sign that Decker was allowed up there)
BTW- your nagging worked! (What an uncomfortable process that was, but much better x10000 than a colonoscopy. LOL)

Add in my excessive use of parentheses and hyphens to my "unique" style of communication :D

@BrightEyes I can only imagine how busy you are taking care of your DD. But I bet she was thrilled to be able to take a shower. Post-surgery first showers are almost up there with the first showers after camping on the scale of Bests.
Hope that the Dr visit went well for her. I bet she is so happy that she is with you.

@tanteva The meeting sounds like a nightmare. And lucky you- you get to do it again?! Argh!
The hand crank slicer/shredder is actually adorable. The one you linked is very impressive! But if you do a lot of cooking, it is worthwhile as an investment.



@Cherylndesigns Oh of course I knew you weren't being flippant. Her heart and BP have been bad for years and years. BP since she was pg with my older brother. What is that, eclampsia? I can't even remember when the different "failures" happened. She was in the hospital both summers after covid hit because I couldn't visit-- nope. The first time was in 2019 that was her heart, and I was there to visit. The kidney failure was in 2020. I remember now that I wasn't allowed to visit and she almost died.
That is incredible that you were able to get off the thyroid meds, good for you! <3
Patience is one thing that both my BFF and I tend to be lacking hah

Eva!! That is fab!! Looks like it does everything! Have fun with it!

@taxed4ever Woot on getting to the pool, I bet by 8 am, most of the early people are on their way to work. I hope that you got all of the water out of your ear, I know you don't want swimmer's ear.
That is great news that Heather is getting work! I hope this is the beginning of a nice steady stream of clients for her. :D
Enjoy your hike today. It looks beautiful! Scott's job had two field trips scheduled this week that were canceled because it is too cold. One is rescheduled for Friday so I hope it will finally be warmer.

Eva- first thing I noticed was the dough hook :D

Hugs!
 
Morning ladies... A quick post this morning as I have some month end things to do here at the O and I need to get my bag ready for my hike this morning. Yesterday afternoon was kind of boring (like every other day LOL). I wandered around from here to there and worked on a few things, but never really accomplished much. Then last night before bed I thought to myself, why didn't I start on my painting that I have been putting off. So perhaps that will be my next project. I also should have been scrapping too, but procrastination was my theme for the day :rolleyes: .

@faerywings - Ha , Ha none of us have any trouble figuring out your posts here!! Heck I am just as bad with my run on sentences and bouncing all over the place from one subject to another! I think that I might go back to on-line shopping too, the fee here is only $2 I think. I will have to check it out, it might have gone up (like everything else). Mason sent me a photo this morning of his Pup lying on the couch, so I guess he really is a part of the family LOL. Your supper last night sounds very yummy!! I am glad that your Dad will be getting his surgery soon and hopefully your Mom will be too! I can't imagine that she would not be allowed to drive for that long of a period :eek:. If so you and your brother will be very busy taking them here and there!!

Ok I have to get ready to go, it is a lovely sunny morning so should be a beautiful hike! Have a great Wednesday everyone!
 
Another quick in and out. I slept in until 8 AM this morning. Yesterday was a busy day all around. We got Chari into the shower... she loved getting her hair washed and the whole body (except for her leg). The bag for her leg worked so well! No leaks and fairly easy to put on and take off. So glad she got them. While she napped after that, I did a few chores around the house. Then helped her get dressed and fixed her lunch. Had a short break before I had to back the car partly into the garage so that the passenger door was lined up with the sidewalk near the front door. Getting her out the front door with the step-down and the knee scooter was a challenge... we forgot to practice coming out the door... only did going into the house before!!! We managed it with my swapping from in front of her to in back then back to in front again. Now we know how to manage it. Thank goodness the doctor's office is at the hospital and they have wheel chairs we could use. They took off the cast and she did have a bruise on her heel but no blister. Except for that - all looked good. Doctor was pleased with how it was going. New cast applied and we came back home. We were lucky that the rain held off - just a few sprinkles as I was getting her back into the car to come home. She napped while I ran over to pickup the Rx and a more fruit. Didn't get supper until 7:30 and we both fell asleep shortly after. Next week we will do the shower the day before the doctor's appt instead of the same day. Tomorrow I will be moving all of Chari's stuff into my master bedroom with me. DD#1 and hubby will be arriving late in the evening. Looking forward to having them here. It is rainy and cold today so happy we don't have to go out. Hoping to have a more laid-back day to recoup from all we did yesterday.

Glad I had my April Challenge finished earlier this month. Well, time to go fix us breakfast. CYL
 
Good afternoon.

Chris @faerywings no problem, here. LOL I think our brains think are a lot alike though. Your mom has had problems for a long time, then. I'm so sorry - they only get worse the older we get. Yes, it's hard to have patience - especially when they grumble, and they do that because they don't feel well. It's a vicious cycle.

It's raining here - woke me up in the middle of the night it was raining so hard. Kay @BrightEyes glad to hear that you and Chari beat the rain. Sounds like things are going well for her (as well as can be expected at this stage of the game). Good news that the doctor was happy and that she got a new cast on. That's always a step forward.

This is going to be a quick in and out. I'm getting a REALLY late start today. Hugs to all.
