I am just opening this up for you all-- I woke up to no internet. Gary just finished reconfiguring the whole darn things and now I am off to work. Wanted to wish you all a very good morning and day!

Morning ladies... up very early this morning so I got DH some soft boiled eggs and toast for his breakfast. It is supposed to be another stormy day today, although nothing happening just yet. Forecast was supposed to be rain starting at 4am but its dry as a bone here so far. Sad day for all Canadians today as Gord Downey of the Tragically Hip has passed away from Brain Cancer :sad: Another musical genius gone! Last night MIL was admitted to hospital with a horrible bladder infection. SIL Linda was there to help out and get her settled in, so that was nice for her and FIL. I offered beds for them to stay here instead of driving all the way back home, but they both declined. So we will wait and see what happens today. MIL is on inter-venous antibiotics so hopefully it gives her relief quickly! With this storm coming I would imagine that our hike will be cancelled, not good to be out in the forest with heavy winds and rain :fear:
Chris - Sorry that your morning started without any internet!! So frustrating when our technology doesn't work!! Hope that your day of cleaning goes quickly and that your Gary figures out what is wrong! Perhaps it is just something going on with your provider?
Rae - Poor Taz refusing to go to the bathroom, he must be bursting at the seams when he finally decides to go outside LOL. Poor you having to get up so early to let him out!
Hope that you are not getting sick again! I love the Autumn too, but sad to hear that it always makes you feel crappy! I am sure that you are in for another busy morning of work. Hopefully you get some time for yourself!
Jean - Glad to hear that the weather has improved in your area! Yes it is that time of year for us all to go out and get our flu shots. Hopefully they have gotten this strain right for the shots and it helps to keep us all healthy! I know that flu virus that is going around right now is a nasty one! So far we have avoided it, but need to get the shot soon!
Felis- Sad that you were having another bad day! Kind of like the movie Groundhog Day where the same day keeps repeating itself LOL. I did have a great swim yesterday! Had a lane all to myself and the pool never really got busy until I was on my way out the door. So nice when it is quiet like that!
Nancy - :hello: I hope you and Luther are out for a nice walk together!
I am going to get my second cup of coffee and start working on a calendar page this morning. Have a wonderful day everyone! :wave:

good morning - I was talking to my DH on Monday night and I told him I really think when they put in the new water lines in the street that the water meter was in the lawn and not in the house at all. I asked if he remembered this. He said he did not. LOL Well when the tech showed up she said the meter was right where I said it was. So she did not even have to come in and it was done in about 30 min. Duh. Well the game was awesome last night as my Devils defeated the Lightning 5-4 in a SO. All I can say is that the refs really wanted the Lightning to win as they refused to call a penalty on them but called a roughing on my guy for standing up in the last 2 mins of the 3rd period with the game tied at 4. My Devils killed it off so then in OT with just 48 secs left they called my guy for tripping which it probably was but the other guy really IMHO embellished. My goalie Schneider made all the saves in the SO while Palmieri scored. Had fun as we had both my sons and a friend come so there were 5 of us so on the ride home we were one happy bunch. My youngest son sat with me and by the end of the game he was hoarse from screaming. He had a hard time getting up for work. Made a basic hamburger dish but instead of cheeseburger I made a cheese sauce. And had pretzel buns instead of just buns. Relish! Today going out to dinner with my girlfriend so that will be fun. Yankees came from behind last night and won. Series is now tied. Another game tonight. It is a good series.
Chris gosh sure hope the internet problems are solved. Hope Gary can figure it out.
Trudy you are awake early. Have fun at the pool. So fun hearing how well Hunter is doing. He will be such fun when they come visit at Christmas. Glad your calendar is coming along so well.
Rae we had a dog too who did not like getting wet. He would poke his head outside and then come back in. We have a dog door so Luther makes his own schedule.
Jean yep we are having nicer weather too. I had to turn on the heat yesterday it was like in the 40s in the house. Now it is nice and I am happier with the outside too. Yes need to get flu shot.
Felis so sorry that your day was a repeat. But at least it sounds like you have some options for recovering your photos. Hope today is better.
Have a great day all!

Good morning, ladies. I was up quite a bit last night, stuffy nose, headache, sinus and throat pain. Ugh. Sick again. So I did an EO steam inhalation for my sinuses/throat and that feels a bit better but I still have almost no voice. I can say a few words in a deep husky tone but thats about it. I'll see how I feel later today and may have to make a GP appt. Hoping that my EO rub and steam help so I won't need antibiotics. I do feel a bit better than I did a few hrs ago. Fingers crossed.
I saw on the news last night that Sears is closing all their stores. So sad to hear that. We have one at our local mall a few blocks away and its been our go-to store for so many things (appliances, kitchenware,etc) and I buy a lot of my clothes there. I'll miss the Boxing Day sale they have b/c I've been going for 20 yrs.
Chris - sucks about the internet, hope you are online again soon.
Nancy - good that you remembered where the meter was. Sounds like you and your son enjoyed the game last night. How fun to share the experience together.
Trudy - your poor MIL, hope she is soon well. The rain has started here and looks like a dreary day. Have fun working on your calendar pages.
I'm going to pop over to the pharmacy later for SF cough drops and some vitamin C. As healthy as I think the keto diet is, I am sure there are some things I should tweak such as vitamin C. I don't eat any citrus fruit so a supplement might be good to take. I take a multi but maybe in the fall/winter I should supplement it.
I'm getting another coffee and getting some work done before I pop out at lunchtime today. I have a feeling I will be tired earlier today so better be as productive as I can this morning.
Have a great day, everyone.

Yesterday, I lagged with a lot of work so today was busy day. Finally we received the order that was stopped on the customs. My sister often order from iHerb, because they give quality on a good price and have many brands that we don't have here. This time we combinate three of us so to save from delivery. But the business here never think how to improve yourself, but always make obstacles. Looks like before few months they have lead a new rule, that all orders from outside the EU expensive than $30 will be charged with additional fee for the customs. After my sister copies few of the documents they wants and pay the fee, she finally could got the package. We will know for the future, but now was so disappointing, trying to save we fell into the trap of the customs. :spider:
Ouch, Chris, this is nightmare! Like Trudy I also guess that is something from your provider, here happens often after rain and they have to restart it. Hope it's been resolved today!
Trudy, so bad about your MIL, hope she feeling well soon! Also hope at last the storm to pass you!
Nancy, oh, dear, my water meter is in my yard and we have to isolate it every winter or will froze. Hope you don't have problems like that! It's also favorite place for winter sleep of the snails, but I don't mind. How good that you have fun game night yesterday and hope it's same today! This book that you say sounds very interesting, unfortunately I didn't find it translated here
! Also I saw your Devils pages ant they are awesome!
Rae, how bad that you're sick again! This is the bad side of the autumn. Fingers crossed all to get away only with teas and vitamins! Hope you can get early to the bed with a warm blanket and have some recovering sleep! I know you're very busy these days and this normally drop your energy down. Take care for yourself today, girl!
Jean, I hope you have sunny weather today and make something fun!

Today was beautiful and not too chilly. But we spent way more time than we expected with a car dealer, took some drives, and in the end have a deal for a new car. It should be available in a few days. DH was really ready for a new one, but I always am dragging my feet if I like the old one (which I really do). So tonight we'll go out to celebrate! A lot of the time now is trying to solve relationship puzzles in the German records and get as much done as possible in my remaining days. Once the time expires I'll be doing more analysis of the records I have, like looking for occupations, cause of death and witnesses. Helps to do that with DH who has better grasp of German and combining our ability to read old German script and reference books.
Chris, you know I feel for your loss of internet! When we were without recently I was about ready to head to the library for their wi-fi when it got figured out. Hope cleaning didn't wear you out. Is Friday shore day? Hope so!
Oh, Trudy, so sorry about MIL! Hope the symptoms are cleared by now, but it is a shame to be sick and in hospital. How are SIL and FIL doing? Otherwise, glad to hear the calendars are coming along. Hope the storm didn't get bad but you got some rain from it. Too bad about the hike. :rain:
Nancy, what an exciting Devils game! So nice to share with DS and have a good time. Love the water meter story! We don't have any special feeling for the Astros or Dodgers, but for sure I'm cheering for them against the dreaded Yankees and the Cubs after last year. I know you'll have fun out for dinner tonight.
Rae, sure hope you feel better quickly, but sounds like GP is needed if you don't as this keeps dragging on. As Felis says, all that work and short sleep aren't helping. Bummer about your nearby Sears. So many stores are being closed. Hard to know what shopping will be like in the future.
Felis, not only is shopping hard, but then to be tricked by custom rules, a shame. At least your sister finally got the package. A busy day sounds like that would be a good thing. Hope that it is.
