Hoping you all have a fabulous day; I enjoyed reading all of your posts!

Your house and surrounding grounds sound pretty and peaceful.

I have flattened two of my islands, one wherein I drew out an elaborate plan for rebuild and one where... I didn't. The former was fun and I'll never do the latter again! Sheesh, the work. LOL It's still only about half finished since the last flattening.

I have a design over all my unused surfaces to prevent weeds and have all the fossils buried behind the museum to prevent them from spawning.

I was just talking, on one of the Animal Crossing Subs on Reddit, about the fourth level, how you can build it, but not get on it or put anything up there. Kind of fun to have, though and some use it for scenic effect.

Speaking ACNH Subs on Reddit, I asked if there were any other players over sixty and was surprised that there are several there. It's heartening.


Sherb is a sweetie. I like his look. View attachment 442914

My current favorite villager is Static. He's just so cool. View attachment 442915.


My next project is a land bridge. Are you familiar with these? Just found out about them yesterday and now I want one.

Apologies, @Kaila and Friends. I get carried away with this subject.

Edit: grammar

all my current bridges are land bridges made of wood. i might make them more elaborate later. i'll try to get some pics of mine to post in my diary page so we're not hogging up Kaila's diary with gaming chat. LOL

Good morning everyone!
Kaila I hope your day is going well!

I don't get the whole carrot thing but have some anyway.

Yesterday we were still melting. Today there’s a chill in the air. I can feel those ‘er’ months coming.

There’ll still be hot days, just more sporadic.

 

[Rossana]

Good afternoon Kaila and Friends,
I hope you are not too hot in your part of the world!
It is very hot and humid here.
We are having a lazy afternoon.
Have a good afternoon and night friends!
Here is Elliot snoozing away,

 

[Kaila]

Hello to all of you,

Elliot is so adorable, @Rossana
Always glad to see him in this thread.

It was an exhausting day for me.
I got to an appointment with an important Dr of mine, which went well....
Until she told me that she will be leaving that job.

I'm very sad and upset by that. I've relied on her, and felt more trust in her, than most. And depended on her.

I did some medical phone calls with dh, for his needs.... and went to pharmacy.

I tried to rest 3 times but could not nap, and feel extremely worn out. I hope i can get to sleep tonight earlier than I'm able to, most nights.

Tomorrow Friday, I have p.t. and take him for labwork.

@Kaila … I’m so sorry to read you are losing your doctor. No wonder your day was exhausting. Good doctors are hard to find.

Hopefully you’ll have a good P.T. Day tomorrow.

 

[Jules]

That’s really disappointing when a doctor you like moves on. Maybe the next one will be excellent too.

Kaila, you have more on your plate than many here. You’re like the energizer bunny. And here I was complaining that I was bored today. Shame on me.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

It's August 15th. Tick tock, summer; your time is running out.


@Kaila, sorry to hear about your doctor leaving. It's hard to find one you like so it really sucks eggs when they leave. I'm sending good thoughts for a new doctor. Maybe this is a door to a doctor you like even better. I'm wishing for that.

---- Hoping you were able to get some sleep last night and your physical therapy goes well today.

@Rossana, your Elliot is gorgeous, and he looks so cozy.

In the last week or so I've increased the positive meditations, affirmations and incantations in my day. Which is a good thing, I know. But I wasn't feeling it yesterday and I'm not, so far, today. I'll do it anyway for the longer goal, but probably with a bad attitude.

-----Well, see, that's not very positive now, is it? Ahem, I do them with a good attitude. The best I can muster, anyway.

I'm work'n with what I've got over here.

Wishing everyone here on this lovely thread a peaceful day.

 

[RadishRose]

Good morning lovely people!

@Kaila bad news about your doctor leaving. i'm sorry to hear that but like the others say, maybe the new one will be as good or better. That's what I'm hoping for. I hope you get to take a good nap today.

@Fritz one of us thought carrots and caring went together but it was just to be funny and then it just took off. So when you see a Carrot you'll know that someone cares about you.

@Rossana, Elliot is so adorable and cozy in his blankie. I had two tiger cats like him One's name was Tigue and the other one Duncan. How is Ella?

Still too warm and very humid here. It's only 75 but it feels much hotter so I close the window kicked on the air conditioning.

I've read everyone's posts and added my likes and as always I'm so happy to hear from you all. I have nothing much to add today so I'll just wish you a wonderful day and a great weekend coming up..

Medusa’s cup of coffee looks delicious. Mine is a bit bland this morning. Maybe I didn’t use enough grounds or it’s this brand that was on sale. The prices are shocking. $13 for 300 g (~3/4 lb) is the norm.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

To Kaila and friends. Happy Friday!


It’s afternoon here already. We’ve been for our walk. We met 3 different people walking their dog(s). It’s only 23 degrees Celsius and sunny. We walked at the park so there’ was a nice breeze blowing in from the ocean.
Here’s some caring carrots. lol
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

You are doing double duty taking care of yourself and DH. No wonder you are tired. Be gentle with yourself.

So sorry you are losing your favorite doc. Was lamenting with a friend today that sometimes a second opinion has to come from Google or Youtube.

 

[Fritz]

@RadishRose aww how cute. I about you and thanks for filling me in.

Morning everyone!

Kaila have an amazing day love!!

 

[Pam]

Good evening. Sorry you are losing your doctor @Kaila. I went through the same about 2 years ago.

@RadishRose, I will pass that soup recipe to my youngest son, he is the soup maker of the family. He'll have to leave out the cilantro (coriander to us in the UK) as, unfortunately, it makes food taste 'off' to me but that's not a problem.

Today I finally made an appointment for the hairdresser to come and cut my hair, long overdue so she's coming next Thursday, thank goodness. I've also dug out my binoculars and bird book ready for my day trip out on Tuesday with son and grandson. Grandson and I used to go a couple of times a year when he was younger but Covid and then bad hip put a stop to that. It's been a few years since we've been and grandson is now 19... but he was the one who suggested we go the nature reserve again. I'm a happy bunny.

I love how close and interactive you are with your grands. And Rocco

@Kaila - I am in the same situation with doctor. Actually I am going to a "meet and greet" to see a new doctor tomorrow. I never heard of having a meet and greet before but maybe I am behind the times.

I understand about the challenges some days do present with the positive affirmations, etc , oh do i?!

Just an idea.....
Perhaps give a try at shifting them slightly, such as...... asking self:

What went well today , or what is something I like about myself ...
Or to some other positive theme,
To focus on.

I agree, we are each working with what we've got.

We had a meet and greet when we had a new doctor. It went over well once he realized a few things about us. Lol
