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 am going to introduce you to my sister. You two can forge a unique bond over pictures of worms that reside in pets.
 

What I did just before supper time yesterday…..
A storm was blowing in……watched the temp go down from 30c to 16c in 25 minutes…..down poured for a our half an hour…..someone must have gotten hail, luckily we didn’t here in town.
Not playing in the mud today….maybe sweep down my driveway AGAIN, seems to be a every few days thing, with that Elm tree in the front.

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.

You’re plate is overflowing……will be happy to hear when your drive, move is behind you, and that you’re settled. TAKE CARE.

Wait - you have shoes for every occasion? Color me surprised! :)

p.s. I love that you not only have these, but that they're so cute. Your taste in clothing, shoes and home furnishing clearly demands that your possessions aren't merely functional, they must be stylish, attractive and in excellent repair.

Thank you SS you're very kind... 🧡..yes you're so right,things do have to look nice as well as be functional, and I'm also very good at looking after things. Nothing gets torn, or damaged in this house, never has... unless through accident
 
Has anyone heard me? I have been screaming since last night. My daughter and my husband have been telling me everything I do wrong. I never knew I was soo bad. Being married for over 50yrs I did all the bill paying and never was late. I did all the cooking and cleaning and always did. I ironed 15 shirts a week and they always looked perfect. Yesterday I had a problem with my Amazon account and my husband and daughter said I must have done something wrong. They started yelling at me last night and it continued until a few minutes ago when I found out what the problem was. It seems that my husband made my granddaughter put an app on his phone to get a notice on his phone when something was being shipped and he already was getting notice. So finally they both shut up. I think I should take a nap now.

😢💐😢💐😢💐😢💐💐💐💐💐💐😊😊😊😊😊 LOTS and LOTS of HUGS for you.
That wasn’t very nice of your daughter or husband.
They have no right treating you that way.

I'm, I think I'll pass, thank you! LOL

The last time I saw that Andy had worms, I looked them up on Google so that I could tell the Vet what kind of worms he had. Well, he decided that I didn't know what I was talking about, and gave Andy a broad spectrum (but less effective) treatment. So, the picture was actually for Andy's benefit, and this time he got the right medication for what he had.
 
It's gone! My cast was taken off, and I can wash my arm, now!

So much for the good news. Now for the no so good news.....

The muscles and tendons in my hand and wrist are so out of shape, that if I move even a little bit, everything is sore and achey. it's like I'm starting all over.

I have a brace that I'm to wear at all times, except while washing. So, I may as well still have a cast on.

Also, none of my restrictions were removed. No pushing, pulling or picking up anything more than/heavier than a toothbrush or fork.

All of these restrictions are to continue for another month. That is when my next appointment will be.
😢. 😢. 😢. 😢. 😢. 😢. 😢

So, for the most part nothing has changed. Other than being able to wash, I still can't drive, work at the rink, or do anything for 4 more weeks!!!!

I know It’ll be tough for a while yet…..and it’s a pain…..but please have patience so your hand/arm can heal properly.
 
Washed a double load of laundry, ate breakfast and took my walk before 7:30 a.m. Took a couple of naps during the day (seems this is my new "normal" sleep pattern), watched T.V., started drying my clothes much later than usual...around 5:30 and put the ones that go on hangers away. I also played WWF2 and had nice conversations with my BFF and honorary daughter.
