Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

The day is going well and I'm doing my usual things on my own and with my peeps (and dog). I've just finished Lucius' second walk and am about to, guess what? Watch some playoff hockey and play Animal Crossing.

I've been telling myself every freaking day that I need to get back into journaling and workbooks (having false starts there) and do some deep, meditative mirror gazing. So far, I'm not listening to me.

@PeppermintPatty, your hummingbird photos are amaze! You are making me want to put a hummingbird feeder up.

@Rossana, gorgeous flowers.


Sorry you're not feeling so great today, @Kaila.


Wishing everyone here a pleasant and peaceful Wednesday afternoon and evening. Coffee will help with that as it helps with most things.

@Kaila, if you don’t have the energy to drive to your doctor’s appointment, use an Uber.

Good morning @Kaila and co. A bright sunny start to the day, hope it remains that way. Rocco was dropped off earlier than normal this morning, he's had breakfast and is now fast asleep so I'm taking the opportunity to come on here. I'll take him out when he wakes up.

Here's hoping you have a little more energy today @Kaila. How lovely that you had a visit from a humming bird and those photos that @PeppermintPatty showed us all are brilliant! I won't ever see a humming bird here in the UK so it's lovely for me to see the photos. Thank you.

Good morning, Kaila & Friends. It's early even for me, but I'm wide awake, so I'll get the day started. Hoping for an energy recharge for you today, Kaila.

Good Morning, Kaila & Friends! We are probably going to have a rain today. I have to walk to an appointment so hope it doesn't rain then. Carrying my umbrella but haven't figured out how to hold onto my walker at the same time as an umbrella yet. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning to every one of you, reading this.

I'm the little engine that could, again today.

chug...chug....chug!

It still feels like a mountain in front of me, but I'm slowly getting my day going, step by small step.
Having hot buckwheat cereal now , which i put some black beans in it , for the added protein, plus wheat germ, and flax oil.
And a cup of coffee. Not in the bowl.
In the mug next to it.

Cat on my lap, while her breakfast is thawing. I keep it in portions in the freezer.
Cardinal at the window feeder.

Forecast is for heavy rain, but I'm going out soon, to my pcp appointment ,
hoping the heavy rains will hold off, and hoping to cover too many issues for 1 appointment.

Special attention to the last line...

Thank you, Kate.

It's quite hard, honestly, and I wish it was a little bit easier;
but yes, I can do it.

Step by step. ... did my eyedrops, washed, combed my hair....
well, I guess that's quite a bit.
next is my teeth.

Happy Thursday

I’m glad you all liked the hummingbird photos. I literally have hundreds of them. What I don’t have are pictures of hummingbird nests and eggs so I looked it up.
Hummingbird nests are typically up to 5 centimetres wide and the eggs are about the size of a tic tac! Check it out.
Adorable or what?

 

[MarciKS]

OMG! Tic Tac size eggs. How cute!!!!!

Morning Kfam!
@Kaila I'm proud of you each day for every accomplishment you manage to make. You may not be invincible but you are amazing!

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

My day is a bit pressed because I have all four dog walks today and I'm behind schedule even for a regular day, as it is. Son and I got into one of our marathon talks. Totally worth it.

@Kaila, you're doing great taking things one small step at a time. You go girl. And you totally do. Hoping today's appointment went well, you didn't get rained on and got through whatever needed addressing while there. Good thoughts for you.

Wishing everyone here a nice Thursday and sending love all around.

 

[Kaila]

I'm home, the rains began After i got back;

I'm worn out, and going to rest, now ;

But First....

Thank you, every one of you

Good morning, Kaila & Peeps! Less than 24 hours until another Saturday arrives. I hope everyone has something nice planned for this mid May weekend. I'll be visiting a garden park that is now in full bloom.

Feeling kind of subdued today... it would be my mama's 90th birthday and I'm still having trouble accepting that I lost her two years ago. Same with my dad 4 years ago. It doesn't feel real. I'm thinking it never gets easier, so I'd be wise to just accept that it will always sting.

Sorry you're feeling a bit subdued @CallMeKate. Understandable.

Good morning Katie and friends

This morning I have an appointment with a nurse practitioner. It’s at 9:30 so I need to get ready soon. I’ve had my coffee and slept alright last night.

How are you this lovely morning?
I hope you all have a lovely day.
