Gentle posts for gentle folks

Hello all, on this first afternoon of October.
Sunny and clear skies, but a very chilly breeze.

I'm slugging along today, not at my best.
I'm trying a new med, I just started last night. We'll see how that goes.

I got myself out to fill the bird feeder, so that we could enjoy seeing the wild birds, and the feeling of knowing they are finding our treats for them.

I'm preparing notes for my PCP Dr appointment, tomorrow.
I couldn't fit my p.t. session in, this week.

Going for a nap now.
I wanted to leave my hello for all of you.
 
Good morning, Kaila & Friends. "Happy Kate" checking in. Why the "happy?" part? Because it's in the mid 40s as I write this, and this is the kind of weather I wait for all summer long! Sending good vibes for your PCP appointment today, Kaila... don't forget to take your notes with you. (Trust me, I speak from experience!)

You doing okay, @Pam ? Tooth removal was today, right? I say "was" because you're five hours ahead so it's 11 a.m. there and the procedure should be over. Hoping it was a success and you're on your way to healing now.

Good evening, everyone. Not been around much the past few days, just felt a bit low. Back to 'normal' now...well, as normal as can be. ;)

@CallMeKate and @Kaila, yes, procedure over and done with. It was much easier than I thought but I'm still glad that's done. Caught up on sleep a little bit this afternoon as I didn't sleep well last night. Silly really, as I always wake up early, never sleep in, but whenever I have a fairly early morning appointment I toss and turn all night. :rolleyes:

@RadishRose, pleased you had a lovely time with family. 🤗 I'll have some of that caramel... I am generally more of a savoury person but I do like anything with caramel. 😋

Now, about Rocco... he went to the groomer the other day in Pets At Home. Thankfully, now that he has a 'paw' in the door, a regular booking can be made for him. They did a really good job on him and he looks lovely. However, I don't think he agreed - or at least wasn't impressed - as he left them a 'parcel' as they were exiting the premises. :poop: :whistle::cool:
 
Hello Friends 🥰🥰🥰

@Pam so glad the dental is done and you're feeling alright. That dear Rocco is funny,

@Kaila, so sorry you're feeling not at your best. How was the PCP today? Hoping that new med you'd gotten helps you.🥰🥕🥕🥕

The best of this evening to you All!

Good evening to all of you, here. ☺️

Thank you to @RadishRose and @Pam
for those thoughtful posts, late today.

(And @Pinky and @Medusa and @hawkdon
for your emphasis responses, so far on those posts.:giggle:😄)

My PCP office visit today was very helpful.
I'm thankful for that!

I'm thankful that I found and got a space in that practice, early in 2025, when I needed one so badly, and they were extremely hard to come by!
The NP is excellent, and she also had specific reasons that she agreed with the specialist dr I saw earlier this week, that the new med is a good one for me to try, and on other points as well.

She answered my questions well, too.
I was a little better today, and she's hoping that will continue, and that I am not going into any larger a setback/backslide.

Dh and I are sincerely hoping so too, and I am thankful to have you people in my corner.😌😚🤩🥰
 
Good morning, friends. 🤩☺️🙂

Last night the temp went down so far, that it was nearly a frost!

Gosh the weather is changing extremely quickly, it seems. I don't find the transition to be smooth or easy for me personally. Going from summer toward winter.

The autumn is beautiful of course, and we even still have some of our flowers in bloom, outside the window.
They will go suddenly, on one of these nights.

I am definitely thankful, too, though.
Glad we were able to have some flowers growing, this year, and that we are both here.
After last winter, that seems like a miracle in itself.
 
Good evening, @Kaila and all. And what an evening, the weather is awful, high winds and rain. Forecast for tomorrow is much the same and I've got to go for my flu jab. Thankfully, the bus stops very close to the doctor's surgery. I think it will be a case of straight there and back!

Grandson texted me this morning from Turkey, he'd woken up to thunder and lightning. Hopefully, it was just a one off. His cousin gets married there in a couple of days so, fingers crossed.

Nothing much to report, with the weather being so bad, it was a day of a very quick walk round the block then back to the settee where Rocco never moved from until mum collected him. 😁

Going to get a bite to eat then settle down for the evening's viewing. There's a new detective series starting tonight, which I'm hoping will be good. A Northern Ireland detective teams up with a Republic of Ireland detective in solving a murder.

🥕🥕 and 🤗 to everyone.
 
Thanks @RadishRose. I am not looking forward to going out in this weather. It's awful, high winds and rain. Normally, I would walk down the road to the newsagents for my once a week newspaper, (I buy it for the crossword etc. not the news) but I'm not going today!! I really don't feel like going out at all but it's a bit too late to cancel. I'll just have to brave the elements. Rain I can cope with but I hate high winds. Oh well, enough of me moaning. ;)

Hope everyone has a good day. I'll catch up later. 🥕🥕
 
Hey K-Posse! Good morning. 🐓 I'll be heading out for groceries in a few hours and that reminded me that it's time to decide what to do about grocery shopping over the icy months. I've never done delivery but I think I'll try it this time...it's unnecessary stress getting up on the winter Saturdays and checking to see if it's icy, postponing the shopping. Easier just to have delivery. Speaking of storms, be careful "out there" in the elements, @Pam !

How's everyone doing today? 🥕🥕🥕

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee:🎃

Yesterday, I asked my son to take the evening dog walk, made a cup of tea and put on pajamas at 5:30 p.m. It was freaking glorious.

@Pam, boyfriend was telling me that you're having a storm right now. He gave the name of the storm, but I've forgotten it. Anyway, it's notable that it's a big enough storm to warrant a name. Hope things went well enough with your outing today.

Wishing everyone here a lovely Saturday.

Good morning and afternoon and evening, friends. Whichever it is, or feels like, where you are and at this moment. 😏 😄😀

Sounds like cozy and positive self- comfort, 💗
@Medusa

@Pam
I hope you got there and back in one piece, as we used to say here many decades ago.
I don't know if anyone in any place, still uses that phrase or not. 😉😊

I got my flu shot included with the overall appointment with my PCP on Thursday.

The pain and weakness and other symptoms that are part of my current setback,( of my ongoing neuro disorder, )
It continues, But i was able to do a little more movement and steps today.

My 2 doctors that i saw this week are both hoping it is a temporary flare , and not a total backslide,
And I sure hope so, too.
Going to see a therapist on Monday.
She'll probably hope the same. 🙄🫤

I don't know if my new med that might help my sleep, will be tolerable for me.
OR, if it will help, but i hope so.
The 2 Doctors and myself, hope so. 😉☺️😁

@Jules
Mentioned that I have a good care team.
I didn't have one, last winter so I hope it will make a huge difference that I have one now.

Do you pay much extra for home delivery of groceries?
I do, which is sometimes worth it but there's no charge if i can do a drive pick up, so i do if possible.

I've not done delivery, so that's what I'll be checking out. There is no charge for either place that I do curbside pickup, but the ice in the winter often seems to mess up my grocery pickup times. I *think* the one place used to be $9.99... worth it for a big order, but not for like $40 worth of stuff, I think. I haven't done it because then there's a tip on top of the delivery fee and not real keen on paying $150 for a $120 order. 🤷‍♀️
