Some super posts here, so carry on with what you are doing lovely people, while I just pop this pimple on my nose.

Good Morning Everyone! Sun is shining here! Hope you all are getting it too. Fun Friday is here!

 

[Kaila]

Good morning, everyone. Just to keep you updated, Rocco is much better, he's been here 3 hours now and hasn't coughed once, and apparently had a good cough free night too. We've had a little walk and now he's doing his favourite thing... sleeping.

That's good to hear, Pam!
I was wondering about Rocco's cough; I'm glad you gave us the update.

 

[Kaila]

Good morning, friends!

I had a quite difficult day yesterday, which was disappointing after that short uplift feeling I'd had, the previous afternoon.

However, I'm glad I experienced that feeling, and I know what is like now, and can hope for it to happen again.

I'm also glad that I shared about that good feeling, here, with all of you. Even though it was transient.

This morning, I am up out of bed and moving, and am getting ready to go to p.t.


Blue sky, and sunny, here too, and milder temps for 2 days, they say.
A nice little break from winter!

 

[Pam]

Sorry it was only a short uplifting feeling you had @Kaila but I will keep my fingers crossed that you experience it again very soon.

Pleased that you are also having a little respite from winter! Hope this means that Spring will soon be with you. I don't mean to rub salt into the wound... honestly... but where I live, we really have had a mild winter and Spring is definitely on its way, my daffodil bulbs and other bulbs (no idea what they are ) are coming through nicely. The daffs look about ready to burst into flower any day. Just a pity that my yard is a bit of a mess. It's only a small concreted area but there's a few bits and pieces that need to be removed, old shelves and unit. I really must get in touch with someone who will take them to the tip for me.

Rocco has had another short walk, eaten his dinner and is back asleep again. What a life.

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

I am at the part of my day where I've finished most of my self-imposed mandatories and can coast now. Husband is off and napping. We will watch a hockey game later.

Boyfriend is away, as I mentioned, and we are keeping in touch with the occasional text. I hate it when he's away, I admit; it messes with the rhythm of my days. And I just miss his company.

Husband bought some very nice Italian-style chicken breasts and I'm going to have that with veggies for dinner. And a fun-sized candy bar, of course.

@Kaila, sorry to hear about your difficult day yesterday, but glad you're up and going to physical therapy today. You're tough, girl.

@Pam, so glad to learn that Rocco is feeling better! We are seeing signs of the daffodils and tulips just emerging here too.

Wishing everyone a pleasant Friday afternoon. Let's have some coffee.

Forgot to mention above that I've been binge listening to the "Let's Not Meet" podcast. It's a podcast filled with listener-submitted stories about creepy encounters with others. It's not good for my psyche, I know, but I'm having trouble pulling myself away.

Kaila, hope you’ve had a better day.

The next time sunshine is pouring through your window, lie down and nap in it. I find that soothing.

Thank you, so very much, Pam !
The caring is much appreciated and it's bolstering.
And it definitely goes both ways, or in both directions, however you may say it, there.
From you to me, and back, from me to you.


It's such a wonderful aspect of this thread, how each one of us, is accepted and accepting, on both good days and bad.

Your daffodils sound wonderful!
The crocus come first here, and then daffodils, late April or so.
I'm beginning to look forward to them!

Right now there is snow up to my knees or higher, where they are located.

I hope that someone helps you to clear up your little corner, so you can enjoy it more.

 

[Kaila]

Thank you for the encouragement, both of you....
@Jules
And @Medusa

I did have a better day today. Whew!

P.t. was very helpful.

I lightly bounced on a tiny round trampoline.... while tossing a ball, at the wall. I'm very talented.
Some of those times, I managed to catch it when it came back toward me.

I hate to admit that my physical therapist had to run after it, when I didn't.

By my standards, you’re an athlete.

 

[Kaila]

By my standards, you’re an athlete.

Thank you!

 

[Kaila]

I'm very sloggy, groggy, and boggy, today.


But I'm here to share, that i just saw a perky Carolina Wren, at the window feeder.

It was sooooo adorable.

The unusual and delightful sighting, lifted my spirits.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Good afternoon Kaila and friends.
@Kaila - a Carolina Wren is a gorgeous little bird. Here’s a picture of one. We don’t get those here. We’ve seen a few when we lived in Ontario. Pretty little bird they are.

You ARE very talented.

The next time sunshine is pouring through your window, lie down and nap in it. I find that soothing.

I LOVE laying in the sunshine. I’ll steal one of our doggy beds to do it. Lol.

Reading that would spook me out too!

Rocco has had another short walk, eaten his dinner and is back asleep again. What a life.

I’m glad to learn that Rocco is feeling well and his cough is now gone.

One of our friends told us that when they die they pray that they get reincarnated as one of our dogs. Some dogs really have a life of luxury.

Good Morning Everyone! Sun is shining here! Hope you all are getting it too. Fun Friday is here!

Good afternoon katlupe. We finally are having a couple of sunny days.

To everyone, I hope you are ALL having a wonderful weekend.

Morning K fam!
Upon looking for images to share here today I have discovered that Pinterest now wants our phone numbers to send is a code so we can log in for community safety now. I am convinced there's no longer any such thing as privacy online when they want all our info.

Anyway...this will be me today...

Except for the beanbag chair of course. LOL

I want to clean the kitchen but I'm not feeling well enough to do so today. I will try to go out and piddle with some of the clutter at least later. Getting ready to make some lunch and watch some tv.

Check out Google Phone Numbers. You get a free number that you can use for sites like that. I’m not sure how it works since we don’t have those in Canada.

the longer I remain on the net the more bizzare I am beginning to feel - NO I wasn't before honest!!

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

Hello to all the lovely people on Kaila's peaceful, come-as-you-are thread.

It is a usual afternoon for me. I've done my things, and walked Lucius twice in the freaking beautiful weather we are having here. Now I'm chill'n, watching a Netflix show and playing Animal Crossing.

Husband is home early today and we'll watch another hockey game. Our team won last night! Woot!

@Kaila, I'm sorry you're feeling draggy today. Dang it. But it's great you made it to physical therapy yesterday and that helped a bit. I love that the birdies bring you joy. I like them too.

@PeppermintPatty, it's a podcast so I'm listening to these stories, which is somehow worse, I think, lol! I'll stop in not too long, though. Truthfully, I go through phases of getting hooked on the spooky side of life, but come out eventually.

Marci has brought some nice looking coffee so...

That's a Chai Tea Latte.

 

[CallMeKate]

Hey everyone! I'm not at my finest today... I strained my QL muscle a few days ago and the pain when turning, bending, or twisting wrong has been incredibly sharp. I've done it a few other times in the past and it never heals as fast as I wish it would. Anyhow, I'm catching up on posts now and hope everyone here had a peaceful Saturday!

 

[Kaila]

I'm glad you came by and told us,
@CallMeKate
Even though we're sorry you're having that sharp pain.

 

[MarciKS]

well if they send me a code where the devil am i gonna get it? i don't have another phone.

I think they still send a message to your normal cellphone. They just don’t know your other real number.

ok i'll check it out.

Good morning, Kaila & Friends! Time to say rabbit rabbit again and my goodness, February flew by! I hope everyone is well this morning and ready to enjoy a peaceful Sunday.

 

[Jules]

It’s Sunday so DH & I will take a longer route for our walk. That’s because there’s less traffic and less noise. I can’t stand the sound of cars whipping by. Also, it‘s really sunny today.
