Good Morning, Kaila & Friends! I have to go to my foot doctor today and dreading it. Last time he hurt my toe and it has been miserable ever since. Trouble is I cannot see that far to fix it myself (or I would not be going to him to begin with) or even to trim my own nails. He is within walking distance but too hot so I have a ride. Hope you all have a good day!

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. πŸ€— :coffee:🌻

We had huge storms here last night and like, @CallMeKate, we're expecting more storms this afternoon. β›ˆοΈ
@katlupe, sending good vibes.jpg for your appointment with the foot doctor and really hoping it goes better for you this visit.

@Kaila, hoping you're doing alright and have been able to rest a bit.

It's another day of the usuals for me.

Hoping everyone is feeling good this morning!

I've had a rough time but am doing okay.
I hope today will be better than yesterday.

Thank you

To all of you.
 
It is really good to read you and catch up on all the latest news.
@Kaila I hope you will have the opportunity to rest a little today. Those appointments can be quite stressful.
Happy to hear that the bad weather patterns hitting the NE of the USA did not affect you too much.
Nothing much to say here. I have not felt good. Saw a new specialist 3 months ago. I decided to switch to him simply because he was closer to me.
It took about 4 months to get an appointment with him! I was not impressed by him but he gave me a medication and told me to see him again later in the year. The medication made me feel worse. I called their office and left messages for the clinical staff. It took 2 weeks for the girl to call me back to let me know that she would talk to the doctor!
One week later, she told me that he wanted to see me again.
At that point, I decided to ditch him and go back to my previous specialist that has his office 20 miles away from my home.
I do not like to drive and the traffic around here is getting really heavy and bad, but I like that doctor. He is very pleasant and efficient.
On another note, my Elsa is still not cured. We tried lots of changes without much improvement. She is now on a prescribed food and taking medication. It helps with the itching as well as the rashes on her belly but we still have no idea as what can be causing this change in her. It makes it more comfortable for her. Fortunately, she does not mind the medication nor the food change. We put her brother on it as well.
Those are all my news for now. I hesitate to write this as it is not particularly happy news!
Thank you for reading me.
@Rossana , I'm so sorry you're not feeling well I hope you get better quickly. Poor Elsa too, you know I love your kitty. It sounds like she might be allergic to something but of course I don't know. I just hope she feels better. πŸ₯• πŸ₯•πŸ₯•❀️❀️❀️

It's 80 degrees here very humid cloudy and we are expecting more rain but not a lot.

Today I received a grocery order I asked for two sweet potatoes, I'm trying to develop more interest in sweet potatoes. He gave me two sweet potatoes that were the size of footballs. Dear god! I also got some salmon, Kaila's favorite. I think I'll bake it in the toaster oven with some butter on it. Oh and I have some dry dill weed. Maybe I'll sprinkle that on too and I'll put a football sized sweet potato in the microwave.

I hope you all have a beautiful day. Happy, pain free and restful. @Kaila remember to take a break and rest between your tasks.

Love to all 😍😍😍πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•

Maybe try cutting them up and boiling them if you're feeling like it. I've been "trying to like them" of late and have found they come out softer and more syrupy if boiled.
 
Good evening, @Kaila and everyone. Hope your day is better today @Kaila. My day started off okay, I was awake early again and felt as if I had a bit of energy so I decided to strip some of the wallpaper, just the lower half of the wall, I'll leave the high part to my son. I got a fair bit done but my shoulder was sore, I overdid it a bit! :rolleyes: Decided to stop and I took a couple of painkillers but as I was pushing the unit back against the wall, I knocked the computer to the floor! I've just switched it on and it froze, I thought I must have damaged it but switched it off and on again and ... fingers crossed.. it's okay. (I think πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«).

Going to have a quick look round and then it'll be time to watch my evening tele and just chill. πŸ“Ί

Oh my gosh, I hope that Dr does a better job this time than last time!
Let us know. πŸ₯°

I'm glad you have a ride, today.
It is too hot most days at this point in summer here too.

I don't eat them anymore because I am low carb but I used to fix them a lot. I love them! They are really good baked in the oven. I also used to make them in my Instant Pot also. Comes out perfect. The oven though gives them a special kind of flavor.

I definitely do need to rest more in between tasks. Thank you, RR.
For the reminder.

And all of you for the understanding and theπŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ§…

Oops, how did thatπŸ§…get in there?πŸ˜„

--------------
I wore out so badly after the dentist and recent appointments, and all of the tasks,
That I went downhill so sharply, yesterday, and felt depressed in addition to the spiking pains and weakness. Yikes.

Today was a little better. Whew.

You gave me a smile about having Kaila's favorite fish, @RadishRose πŸ˜€

And the football sweet potatoes. πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚
I love those too.
I think you could slightly mash the leftover, and freeze in freezer bag portions.
Then take each one out of the individual baggies and into a bowl, to microwave in future.

Oh gosh, stripping the wallpaper would hurt the shoulder. πŸ˜πŸ˜’

And it must have been shocking to realize that the computer was suddenly falling!πŸ˜΅πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜¬πŸ˜³

Try to have an uneventful and thus more relaxing evening. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰β˜ΊοΈπŸ₯°
 
Good Morning, all!

Today, we are taking a drive out to one of our favourite country towns. We will be taking daughter, and I get to hold Abbi, her Corgi, in the backseat. She stands on my lap, with her head out the window. It's not supposed to get too hot today, so, that's a plus.

I hope everyone has a good day, and @Kaila, I hope you get your energy back soon πŸ€—
 
Good Morning Everyone! Suppose to be cooler than yesterday but that is still too hot for me. I have to walk to my hair appointment this morning. I got my portable fan charged up because they do not have air conditioning there. It's an old building. I will do it and survive (keep telling myself that). Hope you all have a good Friday!
