Happy Coosday!

I'm up, sort of. I've had my coffee and I'm ready for breakfast. Andy is on the rug, sprawled out, sleeping....he's being a bad influence on me!

I expect today to be full of the "same as always" ...PT, read, PT, sew, PT, complain and rest, PT, watch tv, PT, tablet time, then off to bed. Until this cast comes off, my life is less than exciting.

I hope everyone else has an exciting day! 💗

Did Andy get his meds from the Vet, hopefully without your having to go there? :)

That is all truly discouraging and upsetting, Sliverfox. :confused:
I hope you start feeling much better, very soon, and that you get some good help at your appointment this week.

I don't think you saw this post from a couple of days ago, @Sliverfox
so then, you didn't see the list of people who liked it, meaning they are all caring about you, too! 💙💛💜❤️

Andy did have to go to the vet. We had a good pix of the type of worm he had, and that one needed to be treated with an injection. It's not really a problem since he doesn't mind going into his pet taxi, and the vet is only 1 mile from our house. Any way, Andy is much better now....thank you for asking & caring! 💗
 
I just got back from the grocery store and had an interesting experience there. While I was loading my vehicle with groceries some teenage kid came running up to me. My first thought was he was going to ask for money. Stupid me. He held my wallet in his hand. He and his girlfriend were behind me in line and I guess I left my wallet at the end of the lane. Thankfully he noticed it. I offered him money but he refused. Lesson learned.

@MarkinPhx
Kind of restores your faith in humans, yes?

Reminds me of when my daughter was a teen, she and a friend found a wallet with a very large amount of money in it. They took it to the address of the person whose I.D. was in it. They also wouldn't accept a reward. I was very proud of them.

I'm being treated for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia at The MacMillan Centre attached to University College London Hospital. They tell me it is all going to plan but they don't seem to be sure exactly what the plan is!
I start my 12th cycle of chemo next week.

I think they have a good fellow patient website for support to be shared by other patients. Might be good to check it out! Wishing you the best and a quick recovery after your treatments.

I have been helping my ex-Trooper friend on his small farm. He has 4 Angus steers he raises for butchering and 6 Holsteins for milking. I have been going over to his farm at 5 every morning to do the milking and it’s beginning to take its toll on me. I am tired by 9 when I get done. A month or so ago, he bred the one cow and yesterday we found out that she is pregnant.

We have a young high school kid that helps too, but he goes back to school next week. That means more work. As much as I like working on his farm, I’m afraid Father Time is catching up and I can’t get as much done as I used to. He wants me to work 6 hours a day starting next week. I would like to maybe give it up, but he can’t get any help now and the workload is picking up. Come October, we will have to harvest the second cutting of the hay and in early November, the corn has to be harvested. Hopefully, he will hire another man soon.

Anyone want a job? $25 an hour, plus all the milk you want and when we butcher the steers, you can’t get 50 pounds of beef.

That is hard work! Haying???? You have to think of yourself first. Not worth killing yourself for someone else. Haying is a job that even teenagers desperate for work won't do around here anymore. It is a hard job. Don't do it.
 
Yesterday my water delivery finally arrived! He said they are short staffed. Then Sonny took me shopping. I had to shop for my son as well as for myself. I had three bags of groceries for myself they and came to $82.00. My son's was $55.00 and he had four paper bags but they were not full, just heavy.

I got up early and have been working on my computer transferring files from my old external hard drive to the newer one. Trying to get this done before the old one dies for good. It makes noises. I will probably buy another new one in the next year to have more space.

Other than that, not sure what I will do today. More coffee right now.
 
I don't know how we are going to leave for Mass tomorrow, but we will. I packed a bunch of large boxes. They were heavy, but everything is heavy to me. So I had my son be the judge since he will be carrying them to the car and into the post office.

They were too heavy. So I put together some medium boxes and we transferred everything into them. Today we are going to WM to pick up my glasses, to the cable company to return their wireless equipment, to the U-Haul store to buy some medium and small boxes, to the grocery to pick up my meds and Tide, and to St. Vincents (maybe 2 trips) to take the stuff I am donating to them.

After that, finish packing and go to the post office. My son is going to walk Aidan while I sort through his toys. He has every toy he has ever had, and there are a lot my daughter bought for him, as well. It's like carrying coals to Newcastle. He ignores most of them. I don't blame him because they are boring from a dog's point of view. Dogs can see blue and yellow, so I buy him blue and yellow toys. I figure for a dog, it's the difference between a steady diet of b&w TV and color TV.

Then we will go to my husbands house to tell him good-bye.

Google Maps says it will take us 8-1/4 hours. I want to leave at 6:30 a.m. That way, with rest stop visits and meals, we should get there by 6 (allowing time for heavy traffic, too). This means no hotel. I was dreading that. My dog barks when other dogs bark, and when he hears someone talking or walking down the hall.

He's broken 2 leashes at hotels. Always a woman letting her tiny dog run loose and yelling for her dog to come back. My dog gets alarmed when the tiny dog "charges" us and the woman is yelling, and everything goes to h*ll. No dog fights, just an exercise in raising my blood pressure.

Meanwhile said dog is getting in the way, watching us pack boxes and fill our suitcases, etc. I explained to him what was going on: Aidan, Mom, Son go bye-bye in car. It sounds odd, but he understands those words. So now he comes to get me so I will let him into the garage. I think he is checking to make sure the car is still there, but who knows? All he does is circle the car. This is a dog who play bows to lawnmowers that are turned off. He thinks they will move so he can bark and chase them. Maybe he thinks if he urges the car, he can go for a ride sooner.

The medium box I packed my books in was super heavy. Turns out the super heavy package my daughter wanted me to mail to her contained books. I never thought of that. I was sure it was some kind of engine or something made of heavy iron or steel.
