Ahem... check the time stamp on my post, MissyQ. It's not 2:45 pm (that's your time).. it's 9:20 am (my time). And I'd already done some chores before breakfast. So there. Don't you have something else to paint? 😁

Today is going to be very rough.

As some of you know, for the past few years DH & I have propped up our 15-1/2 year old dog with meds, acupuncture and the like. He's gradually become fully deaf and his vision has worsened. When he isn't sleeping he mostly wanders around the house, obviously a bit lost. I could go on to describe his cognitive and physical deficits, but I'm sure you get the picture.

The veterinarian with whom he is most comfortable (our mobile vet) is coming to our house late this afternoon and will put him to sleep with us by his side. I'm weeping at the thought of saying a permanent goodbye to him, but DH & I know that it's past time we do him this final kindness. Our daughter's dog is with us for a couple of days to help soften this terrible loss.

I'm just waiting for my KFC..chicken balls to be ready for dinner which are baking in the oven.. gonna have them with Potato Salad..

Chicken balls? No no no! Chickens are females! Those would be rooster balls. I don't think KFC in the US sells them or if they do, it's a well-kept secret;);)

Supervisor came in today. Yay. And guess what???? We have a new full-time person! Yup. Full time. She had been a cashier but had to make a very quick change in the hours she could work...had been working 3-11...and now will be available 7-3 instead. Yippee. Not only available 7-3, no preference for days off so available to work on days when the supervisor and I have days off.

She's very young...maybe about 22? 23? Anyway, she worked with us this morning.

I'm over the moon!🌛🌛 Let's hope nothing changes and she stays forfreakingever:)

I had good news today -- still free of cancer!

Had some cancer tests, did laundry, got a Covid booster, took a nap, ate lunch and dinner, and read a couple of forums. I was at the hospital for 2 hours, on about 3-4 hours of sleep. I was so tired I could barely think straight.

When I told the pharmacist that I didn't get side effects from the vaccine, she said that was too bad. The side effects show that the immune system is cranking up, and that's a good thing. I didn't know that, and I'm too lazy to check it out.

I am SO SO happy for you, Wheaten Lover. I have my follow-up tests next month to see if I'm cancer-free, too. I think about it much too much as the date for my appointments draws near. I hope to know the feeling of utter joy you must be feeling now.

Congratulations!!!!

I ache for you...I can't imagine how unbearably sad you must be. My fur baby is 9 and I hope to not have to face a similar decision for a long time.

Please find comfort knowing that you gave your dog a wonderful life, that he knew what is was to be truly loved. And that he gave the same to you in return.

@Georgiagranny
I'm sorry to nitpick, but this is a pet peeve of mine....if I don't say something, all of my internal organs will explode!

Chickens are NOT female! Male chickens are roosters. Female chickens are hens. Male and female are both chickens! (Whew! Thanks for letting me get that out! I feel better now! LOL)
 
I am going to the store when it cools down for a few things. The chicken has already been fried and waiting in the fridge.

I always wondered why some chickens were labeled as fryers and others roasters. Just the size I guess but I have been known to roast a fryer and fry a roaster, LOL
 
I am ready to go off to bed at 3:30 am. I have prepped to make what I call a sausage pie tomorrow. Pulled the sausage. pie crust and shredded swiss cheese from the freezer, went to the store for a fresh red pepper and heavy cream. Chopped all the peppers and onions, got the mushrooms ready. It is really a quiche type thing but the recipe calls it Sausage Pie, I think they call it that just to make the men happy to eat it. Trust me they love it.
 
Good Morning my friends! Not sure what this day will be or what I will get done. Sonny is coming over this afternoon, after his aide leaves, to put my new batteries in my mobility chair. I was worrying about how I was going to dispose of the old ones since I cannot put them in the dumpster. He told me he is taking them to use them (as long as they work) for setting up a 12-volt light on turn three at the go-kart race track that he is a flagman at.

Just going to stay inside and stay cool today.
