I hope that shot works wonders for you, Marci! As for being a lady of leisure... take full advantage of it. Eat chocolate... lots and lots of chocolate. :sneaky:

I was going to post the same thing here, for you, @MarciKS
☺️

The part about hoping that your appointment goes as well as possible, today, and that the shot will be a huge relief.

I hadn't planned to suggest/advise eating lots of chocolate, however. 😉😊😁😄😂

I will probably sleep today away. I'm so frustrated right now. I barely sleep anymore. I just wanna scream. It's almost 5 and I can't sleep. I have to be up at 11.

That is what i find, the worst and hardest part of sleepless nights. In addition to making all pain and symptoms worse, it makes it terrible to accomplish any appointment, that day!!!!
I hope you can get a couple of naps, today.
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌷

This day is flying by! Sheesh. ☺️

It's been a good day so far, I'm happy to say. My awesome son of awesomeness is freaking hilarious. We often meet in the kitchen and hang out talking. He's an interesting conversational companion and also just cracks me up. 😅 🥰

So I was on the first Lucius walk today and cleaning up his first "puppy business" and I noticed some green and pink day-glow in his biz. So there I am, lifting my sunglasses and studying my dog's biz because that's just part of being a dog owner. :/ Lucius has pica so we are extra concerned and try to be vigilant.

It was pieces of his rubber ball. He'd been chewing and trying to shake it into submission the other night whilst husband and I were watching hockey. Husband was worried, actually, that he might, "be getting a piece of it," and wanted to take it from him. But Lucius was having such a good time, I pleaded his case.

Well, I was wrong. 🤷‍♀️ Turns out that husband had taken it late last night when he could see pieces missing so, wasn't surprised by my report.

While I'm regaling you guys with tales of cleaning up after my dog, when Lucius had done his second puppy biz of the morning, and I was again on my knees, leaned over just about to clean up, the guided meditation I was listening to instructed, "Take a nice deep breath." :oops::sick:😂 Um... I'll wait on that.

@Kaila, sounds like you were pretty productive yesterday with people and kitty maintenance. 654a4af67586ede44af33866a7726002.jpg

I'm stealing here from a meme I can't find right now with this: Some days all you can do is survive and that's enough. You did great today. 🥰 🤗 And the really tough pool/alarm day and the days after that.

Also, @Kaila, great picture of your pretty yellow finches. We haven't been getting many of the colorful birds lately so it was nice to see yours. ☺️

@katlupe, good news about getting transport to/from therapy! :cool:

@MarciKS, hoping you are returned from your appointment, feeling some relief and catching up on sleep.

Everyone on this lovely thread:

Thank you for that wonderful update post of yours, 🤩🥰
@Medusa

That was funny about the timing of your guided meditation .😄😁

Is Lucius alright after all of that?

Thank you for that quotation; it's true that some days are like that. I can easily remember some.
And you're right. I can add that recent one, to the lists of those kind of days.

So then, after those days, it's acceptance that's needed. .. of the day..... and of myself.
Thank you for that reminder. ☺️

You have such a great attitude, @Kaila. It's inspiring. ❤️


Yes, Lucius is fine, thank you for asking. :) He's kind of like a Tiger Shark, that way. 😂

Good morning, Kaila & Friends! I'll have to let my graphic speak for what my day is like... and yesterday, too. I have to pick up groceries this morning, but no worries because it's curbside and zero contact, so I won't be spreading my Typhoid Katie germs. I truly dislike being sick. 😣

Oh dear, 😳 😫😖😣

We're very, very , very sorry that you're feeling miserable, Kate!

The only good advantage to it, is that you have 100% permission to be grumpy!!!
(On a normal-ish day, you and all of us, have approximately 99.9% pemission to be grumpy, here!!!)

Hope you make an amazing bounce back, soon, Kate.
Thanks for checking in with us, here, today!
 
Good evening all. Hope that everyone who has been under the weather is feeling much better today🫂.

I had a stroll to Aldi this morning for a few bits then made an effort and did a bit of housework before the snooker came on. :cool: Grandson came round this afternoon then my son joined him a bit later. We sat and watched the first half of the FA Cup semi-final match whilst also checking on the West Ham match @Medusa. Thank goodness that the Hammers got that second goal!!

Nothing else to report really, going to sit down and watch the second half of the football whilst doing a bit of cross stitch. Then in about an hour the snooker will be back on.

Take care everyone.
 
Hello, all dear friends,
I'm feeling exhausted today, still. With continuing significant extra aches and pains and movement limitations, .... Not recovered, from the aquatic p.t. session itself, or from its aftermath. :rolleyes: :rolleyes::confused:

I did manage to get up out of bed, this morning, and do a few tasks around here.
Including filling the birdfeeder. Had a very nice chat while out there, with some neighbors who sometimes walk by, whom I'd never talked with before. :)

Nice sunshine out; however a very brisk, chilly breeze!

It's nearing time for a rest or nap, whichever happens when I get my heat pads heated, and climb in, under and on top of them.:giggle:😉☺️
 
Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends. 🤗 :coffee: 🌷

It's rainy here today, which is making for nice, cool temps. Lucius was good on the morning walk (he's always good), I've finished my exercises, cooking and breakfast and am about to take Lucius for his second walk.

Husband and I had fun watching hockey last night. On the last goal of the night, giving our team the win, I screamed so loud my throat was actually a little sore. 😂😵‍💫 Crazy hockey fan! 🤣 --We really needed this win and that goal cinched it.

@CallMeKate, so sorry to learn you're feeling bad. :( Hope you're able to rest (sans picking up groceries) and feeling better soon!

@Pam: Phew! That was nervous-making. Would have been perfect if Spurs had lost, but at least West Ham is holding position. Agreed, about the second goal. ⚽

@MarciKS, glad you've got some time off to rest and reset

@Kaila, nice that you got to chat a bit with neighbors outside. ☺️ I know you're so tired so, it was impressive you got out to fill the feeder. Hope your nap is deep and restorative. 🤗

Everyone on this lovely thread, let's add some afternoon coffee to our Saturday. 🥕🥕🥕

Sending loving, healing thoughts your way.

@Kaila - Sorry you arent feeling good.
I hope you are all snuggly with your heating pads on. The birds must love you; making sure they are fed.

@CallMeKate - I sincerely hope you feel better soon. Maybe give the pole dancing a rest for a bit. ;)

@Pam - it’s great that your son & grandson came to visit you. It’s good to learn that he dusts all the places you can’t reach. It’s also great to know that Rocco’s doing well.

@Medusa - Ok! You’ve already told us your sore throat was self induced. Thanks for the afternoon coffee. I will need the decaffeinated one or I won’t sleep.

@MarciKS - I hope you are enjoying your time off of work and that the shot in your finger works well. Is it a cortisone shot?

To - ALL others reading this thread. I hope your have a fabulous weekend!
