Daily Ooo's: Wednesday, September 27

[faerywings]

Hmm, I am not feeling so well today. The Stress of Life is getting to me. I really need to find a better way of coping. Right now, my way of coping is "not." :rofl:

I know that I need to focus on some of the good things happening, however small. One that is not so small is the healthcare bill was pulled again. And yet the Republicans in Congress are still trying, and succeeding, in finding ways to sabotage the ACA. What a heartless group of people.
The dogs got into another squabble yesterday, out of nowhere. When Whisky feels threatened, like when Ray growls at her for playing with Jaida, she gets aggressive. We are trying some training techniques such as giving them kibble when they are all together and calm and Cait and I have been researching more ways to work with them. This is new, we had never had any issues whenever we brought new dogs into the home. Then again, we never had three dogs at once before and I am sure that changes the dynamic quite a bit.
We all want to get J and W to the dog park to play and I am sure that wearing them out will be a good thing. Just a couple of more days for the spaying to be healed. :wait3:

Dog Whisperer friends, any suggestions?

I was relatively successful at Price Chopper yesterday. The sales are good but the regularly priced items are more expensive than my supermarket. But to save the $10-- worth it.

Today, I have to deal with this headache that I have had since Sunday. Cleaning for my neighbor. Probably heading out to clean up some more Morning Glory vines. And yes, the dreading-- what am I making for dinner????


I hope that all of you have a wonderful and joy-filled day!

Nancy- boys! men!! Ack! My family has done silly stuff like that too. I think the common sense gene is recessive in males. LOL
That is really cool that you were able to get to see the Devils game, awesome that they played so well too!
We don't have any extra money to pay for Starz, even with the special, so I will just have to wait. I had a free month coupon for Hulu and I wanted to see A Handmaid's Tale but the same thing- you had to sign up for a subscription to get the free month. I have to learn to be patient. *wink*
I am with you-- so jealous of people who can wear scarves- I even Pinned a graphic on how to tie scarves and I never get it right.

Jean- glad that you got to see some birds even if not many, sometimes it is nice just to "be" in nature. It is so weird that it is this hot, my mom asked if I wanted to go down the shore for a day again. I would love too, just too much on my plate ATM.

Trudy- the door looks amazing, what a difference a bit of paint makes! I adore that color!
Wah! I need a cut and color too, but I have to wait another month or two so it will be decent for the holidays. I am going to get a couple of inches cut off when I do. My ends are beyond crispy.
Hope you had a good time at the pool.

Rae- I love the new avi! I have been saying for many months I need to redo mine. You look very nice!
Sinus infections really are tough to get rid of. Sorry to hear that this one isn't going away.

Felis- Yes. I need to do that too- pack away the summer things and bring the fall and winter things down from the attic too.
That must have been very frustrating not finding the photo you wanted and then having to keep changing your page. I have done that and I have also posted LOs that I don't like at all and just ignored them. haha!!

Have a fab day my O-zies!!! :tea:

good morning - yesterday was great I love my hair color and cut. She is so nice. She asks me what I want and duh I just want it easy to care for. Found I needed to read so started a new series. It is fun, about the anguish of being in high school. Luther and I have been out and now he is resting. Made a great dinner last night that again we all loved. It was a roast pork with a salsa verde salad and a yummy garlic topping for the pork. The salad had croutons that I had to toast and OMgosh I got them just perfect. I have found aluminum foil that is non stick and what a difference it makes. Nothing sticks. Today I am going out with my girlfriend for dinner. Not much else going on.

Chris I hope you feel better. I too am so angry that these Reps want to hurt people. I think if we quit spending money on the military we would have the money to save people. Have fun in the outdoors! Being in the sun is so good!

Trudy I love the door color! I like the dark it makes the hardware really shine. I know what you mean about having the DH under foot. Love my house as it is easy to find alone space. Hope swimming went well!

Rae my DH has sinus infections in the fall. They are so hard to get rid of. Good luck and glad each day you are feeling better. Poor Taz but so glad he feels so much better after the procedure.

Jean yes it is hot in this area. Glad you got some birding done. I know when I am out with Luther if I see a heron or geese or some unexpected bird it makes me so happy. I don't have to see a lot but to see an unexpected is awesome!

Felis so glad you are feeling better. Sorry about the rain. It is a pain when you can not find that one photo you want.

Have a great day all!

Morning ladies... up a bit early so I can get ready for my hike today, its a 25 min drive away so I will try to get things done around the house for a bit before I leave. It is going to be warm and sunny so a perfect day for our hike. Yesterday the pool was virtually empty!! Just me and one other lady in the lap pool, it was so nice!! I wonder how long that will last, before it starts to really get busy there again?

Chris - I am sad that you are not feeling very well today! I hope that you start to feel better as the day progresses! :hug: I looked at my calendar and realized that I won't be getting my cut and colour until the 20th of October!! I will be very grey by then and my ends will be getting pretty crispy too LOL. Hope you find the solution to fix the sudden bursts of temperament with the dogs! It must be kind of scary to see them get violent with each other :fear: I woke up with a bad headache yesterday morning and I think it must be caused by my clenching my teeth again, so time to start wearing the mouth guard at night Ugh! Its a shame that you can't make it to the shore for one more day, it would do you a world of good!!

Nancy - How nice that you are liking your new colour and cut! I love to get my hair done too! Your dinner last night sounds amazing, so nice that you are enjoying all these new meals!! It was funny when we took the kick plates off the doors to paint them we noticed that the colour had turned to silver from the weather, but when we turned the kick plates to the opposite side, they were like brand new again and the original colour of gold. Nice that we didn't have to buy new ones! Hope you and Luther enjoy a great day today!

Rae - Love your new AVI!! You look wonderful! I sure hope that your sinus infection is cleared up today, you have been suffering with it for far too long! Your chicken dinner sounds very tasty! I will have to try that one out for sure! Hope Taz feels much better after his cleaning, not pleasant I am sure for him but necessary. Hopefully your day is not too filled with desk work. Enjoy the sunny day today it sounds like one more day after today and then we are back to the rain for day or two.

Felis - Oh I hate when I can't find a picture that I really want to use! I need to organize my photos better so that they are easier to find. I don't put enough information on them when I file them. Hope the rain has stopped for you today. A week off of work is nice, but not so great for the bank account, hopefully it all works out for you!

Jean - :hello: I hope you are having another great day of birding!!

Ok I better get my lunch ready for the hike and get my backpack ready to go, I see out the window that the fog has rolled in a bit, when 5 mins ago the sky was clear and sunny, so funny how being by a lake can make the fog roll up the hill that way, it will be gone again in a few mins I am sure. Have a wonderful Wednesday ladies!! :wave:

Good morning, ladies. Had a relaxing night in my chair, watching TV and resting. Got into bed a bit earlier too. I'm doing everything I can to fight this sinus infection so now just have to be patient and hopefully it will be gone soon. Dropped Taz off at daycare and Darrell is leaving around noon to go help some other co-workers with a machine installation so he'll be gone til very late tonight. I'm going to pop over to our local EO store and the owner is going to put together an immune system blend for me in a roll-on bottle to put on my feet, elbows and palms to help boost my system throughout the winter. She's been very helpful, talking with me about oils. Yesterday she had me stuff a cotton pad into my nose for 15 minutes, with a few drops of rosemary on it. It did make my nose feel better and I put a bit in my diffuser last night too.

Chris - hope you have a peaceful day and can unwind. As for the dogs, maybe leashing them and walking together may help to solidify the pack behavior. You don't have to go anywhere, just around your property. Have them sit and lay together and reward. That may help. Are you the first one out the door when you go out with the dogs? If not, you should. Alpha goes first.

Trudy - looks a beautiful day for your hike. Enjoy it.

Nancy - I love salsa verde. I put it on my eggs and meat. I make a taco salad and drizzle it overtop. Yum. It's funny, its something I had never tried until a year or two ago and its now one of my fave condiments.

I'm getting to work now. Want to get lots of desk work done before heading out for my visit with the EO lady this afternoon. Have a great day, everyone!

Hello ladies,
it's not stop rain, except for a hour this afternoon, but actually I like the rain. It's not too fun all muddy paws that children left, but weather is still warm so I couldn't to not left them to go outside for a little.
I finished the book that my sister gives me "My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises" by Fredrik Backman, and I totally love it! It's sad and fun, and clever and a little bit cynical. It's wrote like a fairytale, but for grown up child. I strongly recommend it! Ups, upss, except for Chris, I think one part wouldn't like you at all, but no more spoilers!

Trudy, this is so cool, like you have your own personal pool! You're so right about all that told to me. I'm feeling exactly that, about the job. And for organizing of the photos my system is ticket with month and year, because my camera put only the date when the camera was made, not the actual data of the photo made, so I think this is more important for me, but it makes very difficult to find something. I need a better system!

Nancy, wonderful that you like your new hairstyle and is refreshing to do some little changes!

Chris, how bad that dogs still fighting, but I'm sure that you are strong alpha and soon will put their hierarchy in order!

Rae, I love your new autumn avatar!

Have a great day, my dears, it's evening here so I go to watch tv :choclove.

Off and on rain that came with a cold front has brought all sorts of birds to the yard. We've had a great time out watching them, some of the time under cover of the garage. I got the guys to take time to look at some records with the maiden name of a woman who was apparently the "wicked stepmother" of their grandmother in Bavaria hoping to determine just what it was. I'm in the process of accessing church records of the village from which the grandmother came in the 1890s for the first time.

Chris, just keep sending my best thoughts your way in hopes you feel better and the dogs get along.

Nancy, again, your dinner sounds wonderful. I sometimes think about doing it but not so far. Walking Luther does sound like a great way to be out and see a few birds. Like the ones today, not rare, but newly arrived and varied species.

Trudy, love the new look of the door! How nice being able to turn over the metal to the right color. Hope the hike was beautiful today. Sad about the headache yesterday.

Rae, gorgeous new avi! Sure hope you keep feeling bettIer. Will it be nice to have an evening to yourself?

Felis, looks like we're both having rain and the cat here had to be dried off a couple of times. Oddly she doesn't mind the wet too much. But she still heads under the covers inside. Hope you feel better soon.

I've got to go see what's up outside so I don't miss anything.
