Gentle posts for gentle folks

Good morning, K-Posse.

Update - we will see how Ozzy fares and whether the fleas vamoose. The oatmeal bath seems to have soothed him.

You live in such a beautiful area, @PeppermintPatty. I hope you get rain soon to minimize the fire danger.

@Kaila, I hope all went well for you yesterday and you were able to cross off some items on your to-do list.
@Pam, 2025 has been the year of doctor appointments, tests and treatments for DH & me, so I feel your pain... Hoping all goes well with your appointment.

Busy day today for me, so to quote my DSIL, I gotta bounce.

Hope all can make today a good one!

As always, I enjoyed reading you all.
Nothing to report from here, except doc visit tomorrow, blah.

Good afternoon to all who are frequenting our very carroty thread. :LOL:🥕😁🥕😊:sneaky:😁🥕☺️🥕🥕

Managed to get dh's medical need addressed very well today, without my having to miss my P.T., which at first seemed unlikely.
That's a success.

Also managed to pick up the groceries in the store parking lot, without having to do without the food.😉

So that is a successful day.

It's very hot out, but the grocery store helper said she preferred it to snow, 😄
and though I was not in total agreement;
I commented, that myself, I prefer it to icy conditions, for sure!😁

My p.t. session went very well. Will have a 2nd one, this particular week, on Friday.

BTW, at the closeby grocery store that we're used to the products, it costs nothing extra in any way, to have them do all the shopping, as long as I pick it up in the parking lot.
Whereas, there is a charge plus tips, to have it delivered.

Recently I just wait till I think I can manage to go, and I don't order if it's too crowded a schedule for me, or when I'm having a bad few days.

Speaking of food, I'm hungry, so good-bye for now.☺️😄🥰

Good morning, very pleased to hear that your pt session went well, @Kaila. Onward and upwards as the saying goes. 🤗 :D

Thanks for all your good wishes re my dental/hospital appointment. I was somehow thinking I would be getting the offending tooth removed yesterday but no, it was a consultation in which he discussed issues and what medication etc I was on. I know the broken tooth needed removal but my dentist had asked him to also look at my two front crowns. She thought there may be a problem with the root of the teeth and perhaps they needed removal and replaced by a bridge. However, the dental surgeon said not so I was relieved about that!

I will receive an appointment for removal date in the post. For now, I can relax again.

Youngest son and grandson are coming round this morning to do a couple of jobs that I can't manage. The in-laws will pick Rocco up again mid morning and have him for a couple of hours. He's being a good boy for me. Might be shock to his system, getting up at 5.30 am and having a short walk around the block though. He's fast asleep now. ;)🐶
 
Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee:🌻

Hope everyone is feeling good this Tuesday morning. I loved Kate's message this morning; so heartening. 🍂🍁

@RadishRose, Ha! Baby carrots! Took me a minute. That’s funny. 🥕:ROFLMAO:

@Kaila, yay for all your success yesterday! And your physical therapy went well. Win! 🌟

@Pam, glad for your good news at your appointment and that you can relax about it for a while.

My Mammogram appointment went well yesterday in that it was quick and the technician was personable such that conversation with her distracted me. Also, I had some good fortune when, on arriving, I realized I'd recorded the time incorrectly in my calendar to 13:15 when the appointment was actually for 13:45.

However, fortunately, another patient who was supposed to be there had disappeared (they thought she might be in the lab) so, they took me right away and I didn't have to wait the extra 30 minutes. :)

I added some cardio into my day yesterday suffered for it. I have Fibro, but I've been doing so well for so long I was kind of hoping it had gone away. It's a careful balance with Fibro between getting enough exercise and not getting too much. I'll just need to adjust the amount of cardio down a bit and maybe try it in smaller increments.

It's 9:38a.m. and I'm behind schedule this morning, having woken late. I need to put my make-up on and get Lucius out for his first walk.

Many 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 to you all. Have a wonderful day!


ETA: Just got the result of my exam. (That was fast). All clear. :cool:

Thank you for that 'onward and upward, ' Pam.
I hadn't heard that phrase in many years.
I'd forgotten it completely.

It's funny but true. ☺️🤩

I'm very glad that your front teeth are intact and fine, Pam. That's very good news I'm sure.
We may have heard your sigh of relief, here on the other side of the ocean. 🥳🤭🤗

🐶
Of course you must have all clocks hidden from Rocco 's view.
If not, then do it quickly now!!!😊😁

I'm sure that Lucius does not mind if you skip the makeup for his walk. 😊😆😁

Or had he mentioned it bothers him, if he sees any of his friends along the way?
😄☺️

I'm very glad that your mammo appointment went as well as a mammo appointment could. 😊🥰

Good job adjusting your exercises as needed. It truly is often very necessary, in order to keep them helpful instead of detrimental.
It's true that it's such a careful balance to continually attempt to achieve, but a worth while effort!

I tried for a short walk this morning, but i was over worn out, even before the hot sun quickly took its added toll.
Not today!
(I think i heard it say. 😁)

Oh My Gosh, @Kaila, you made me unexpectedly LOL with this. Thank you for that. :)

You're right about Lucius, he's wonderful that way; loves me with or without it. The make-up's just for me. ;)

Aren't dogs great, though? They just love. ❤️

You're so right about the need to adjust where exercise is concerned. You know, it's an ongoing thing too, continual adjustments to keep it working without hurting.

Sorry your walk didn't work out today, but good for you for getting out there and trying. 💪 🤗
 
Good late afternoon you funny people. Everyone's making me smile today. 😄
Kaila it seems you've had good luck with your running around and your husband's needs and your PT.... and everyone, your appointments seem to have all gone well and Kate's throwing canned goods out of her shopping bag.

Took the free bus to my doctor's appointment today It seems my medications need adjustment. My A1C a a bit low, as is my blood pressure.

Came home and Occupational therapist came in behind me and then as she was leaving my next door neighbor came in which I was glad to see because she had this special book of photos that she had Google make for her to give to her sister. They were photos of their trip to England back in June, also a quick stop in Ireland so I enjoyed looking at all the pictures..... she got some really good ones and my son will be coming over after his work for a bit, so my day went fast.

Gonna order pizza delivery for supper tonight since I can have some carbsI

💕💕💕💕💕Be well all my dear Friends!🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕💕💕💕💕💕

I joined Hulu so I can the new edition of King of the Hill. It's so funny and there were a lot of changes but not that many. I don't know if any of you are fans of King of the Hill but it's a laugh riot.

LOL... I love King of the Hill... that one where Hank's bait salesman is going out of business so Hank goes down the street and unknowingly buys Meth or Crack thinking it's fishing bait. And has a great day of fishing, as he releases them, they come right back to him, his fishing buddies are in awe... Hilarious 😂

It's definitely a continuing and frequently repeated need , to make small tweaks or even large adjustments, to exercising. I agree with that!

I would like to reply to your gushingly positive comments on dog virtues;

However I must remind you that I always have a most perfectly perfect cat, hovering near me. 🤗☺️😁

🙀😺😻😸😉😊😁

I was getting ready to post to you , RR,
to ask how your Dr appointment went , so I'm very glad to hear that you got there okay, with that transportation method;

(That's a big part of any appointment at this point in our lives....)

and that you got some needs met there, hopefully!

Gosh you had a steady stream of visitors.
I hardly think you have time for us. 😊☺️😆😁😄🥰

However I'm very glad you checked here long enough, to see the warnings to duck and cover,

In case Jules or Kate or any of us really, might feel a sudden need to throw food or pillows. In random directions.
☺️🤩🥲😅😁🥰🤩

Kate's not gonna throw anything... she loves the BER months. But if Jules is going to throw something, I hope it's chocolate because I'd surely follow after her and scoop it up.

Got up to 94 here today... high was supposed to be 88. I will be in an incredibly good mood the first time it dips into the 50s!

I so love reading all of your messages! :love: How are you feeling now from that cold that was starting, @Pinky?
