    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday!Sunny and bright but chilly here. Sadie and I had a lovely sleep in this ayem.I'm a little concerned about Silly Sadie, though. She's been a little off the last couple of days, nothing really specific but just not as active, not eating quite like usual, and this morning I saw her limping on one back leg and she stumbled going down the steps from the deck to the yard. The steps were wet and a bit slippery, it could have be just that, but something just seems off with her. I'm going to keep a close eye on things today and see what goes on. At 11 years old she's old enough to get some arthritis, and she's usually active enough that she could have pulled something. I'll probably try to get her in to see the vet next week. I don't think I need to use the emergency vet services this weekend but I'll keep it in mind.

    Goldie--A busy week does make for a fast week, that's for sure!And I do like this job much better than the last one. Being busy with orders and phone calls must mean business is good, right?

    Morning, Cammy Cat!Mead is not that commonly known. I ran across it year ago and it peaked my interest, so I kind of look for it, even tried making it once. Didn't come out so good, but I reallyneed to try again now that I know more about the wine making process and how mead is different. Oh, my, your poor SIL! Great thinking by the son who unplugged a lamp and told her it was a done deal!Sometimes that's the best way to deal with someone with dementia.

    Illi--Wow, you have a great list!I wonder if I wrote down a bucket list if I would be more motivated to actually do the things?Hmm…..Mixed results on the scan? So there was some good news in there, too? Glad you are OK with things.

    Librarian--The possibility of a lumpectomy and stereotactic radiation and a break from chemo sounds like a great step forward! Even if it isn't a cure.Praying for good PET results in June! I don't have most of the ingredients of the drinks I post, either, I just like the name or one of the ingredients or the picture!Good job with the research, and proving that you know better than to trust Dr. Google totally!

    Jazzy--Doctor wrangling is NOT FUN!Good for you for being successful at it!So scary to hear about the eye bump.Friable is not a good sign, but not definitive, either. Glald you got a biopsy, and it is funny how sometimes now we do want biopsies!Better to know than to wonder.

    Good Morning, Misty! Sorry the post gremlin visited you!

    Cammy Cat--I hope you have a really good visit with your ex-stepson and his family. They sounds like fun people.

    NICE DOTD!Beautiful!

    Goldie--be careful on those muddy roads!There's a pic of a police cruiser stuck in the mud on one of the local roads making the rounds. It would be funny except the cruiser was trying to get to a house that had called for an ambulance and everyone in the area knew the ambulance could not get to the house through the mud.

    Hi ladies- thanks for all your kind words. Yesterday was a bust with productivity around work, but will make up for it tomorrow with some ketchup after I get things in a better place today. I got a lot of rest last night and

    The whole country seems water logged right now? The heavy rains have stopped (Goldie you had them too?) and the yard and gardens look so moist and happy. We may get more today but the chance is 20%. Checked the current radar and not much around but they are forecasting more this afternoon. Saw several posts on FB from up north on snow fall in the higher elevations of 8 inches or more. I have seen it snow here in May in the past, as late as Memorial Day weekend. It happens. Our river the (Rio Grande) is really high and flooding with all the spring run off from the snow pack. I expect she has a lot more water in her now?

    Ill- sorry to hear the MRI showed some changes. I hope the plan for radiation is sustainable. I hope you enjoyed a nice beverage.

    Cami- I have an uncle I would like to say it to, and another uncle who was so nasty to me at a family wedding a few years ago that I said to him and in front of others "we are done now, you and I." That one is gone now and sometimes when I think of some people like this, I say to myself "thank you for showing me what NOT to be in this world." It sounds like this man's ex stepson chose not to follow in his father's footsteps and expect you will enjoy the visit.

    Goldie- how much rain did you get with this big storm that came through?

    Misty- you don't know this about me, but I am one of Cami's BCO groupies. We met on another site when I started here in 2012 and then we all moved around to other threads and then I missed her so I found her here a few years back and glad I did. Some might call me a stalker, but I really am a fan. She makes me laugh and at times has been my romantic adviser too! Thank you for the good wishes and yes, things in and around the eyes are scary. I am labeling 2019 the year of the eye......

    Chi- welcome back!

    NM- thanks for asking how my week was. I will say between trying to nail down the scope on my project and the eye stuff, I am feeling quite exhausted. I cleared my evening of a dinner party invite that I am not up for, just two other gal friends and they can go ahead and have a visit and will see them later on. Is Miss Sadie not letting you sleep in and wants to play before you go to work? Are you feeling more settled in with the new job?

    Wanted to also wish all the moms here which include mothers of children big and small, mothers of pets, mothers of plants (that's me, the crazy plant lady) and to all the women who nurture far and wide in this world. Just think what life would be like without you?

    Jazzy, hope it’s benign, and if not, non-aggressive and removable after only a layer or two. There was an article (I forget where) written by a TV reporter/anchor who had a squamous cell carcinoma at the corner of her eye—she had to wear a patch for awhile but she’s back on-air with no visible evidence of the surgery—the scar is in the natural wrinkle.

    Ilona, bummer about the scans—hope the rads can be pinpoint-targeted with few if any ill effects. Did they say you’d be a candidate for gamma-knife or proton therapy?

    My sis’ primary is unconvinced that it was just reflux, as (was my assumption) her EGD came up clean for evidence of esophagitis or ulcer. It also didn’t get worse when she lay flat. She’s going in Tues. for a full cardiac imaging work up (which I had after a syncopal episode in ‘13 and came up normal—my primary suspected intermittent mitral valve prolapse which he confirmed via just a stethoscope). They’re also going to do an upper abdominal ultrasound, which should reveal if there are gallstones that have retreated from the bile duct for now.

    I do a lot more “nothing” than is evident from my posts!

    Last night’s DOTD was a 2017 Margarett’s Vineyard (affiliate of Parducci) Mendocino dry Zin rose. Also found some blood orange seltzer, which isn’t bad but very faintly flavored—less so than Bubly, LaCroix or Dasani

    ChiSandy, it’ll almost certainly be gamma knife, which I’ve had twice before. I’ll know more for sure when the tumor board meets next Friday.

    NM, poor Sadie, I hope she is ok. I didn't realize she was that old. Guess I wasn't thinking that she was an adult dog when she found you. Oooooh, I don't think you've made any wine in awhile. And isn't it about time for fiddle heads? Hopefully the trooper and/or ambulance made it the patient.

    Jazzy, I don't know how much rain we actually got, but I think it's rained every day since Thursday. So been stuck at home, as the roads are too muddy. Things started to dry up late yesterday afternoon and then bam, it rained again. And we are also getting snow in the higher mountains. Both ski resorts are still open for at least the next 2 weekends. I hope the Rio Grande doesn't cause any flooding problems. I too am glad you came here, being a fan of Cami's too, I am so glad I got to meet her. And she is just as funny and sweet as she is here. And her family made me feel so welcomed.

    Sandy, wishing your sister well.

    Misty how are things in your world? I hope you are doing well.

    Too all moms, as Jazzy said, plant moms, dog moms, cat moms and moms of kids, wishing all of you here a happy Mothers Day.

    Happy Mother’s Day to all!

    My boys and DIL are coming over later for dinner. The rain has moved in. Had a late night “gentle” thunderstorm last night. More forecast for today. Sorry to hear about Sadie. Let’s hope she had too much fun one day and just needs to rest a bit! Jazzy, also sorry about your eye. I will hope it is an easy fix and you can move on quickly.

    You have all been so understanding of me and have listened so well to all my complaints. I am very grateful to have found this site and this group in particular.

    Thanks for everything

    I've eliminated sugar so I quickly googled what I could drink. Bloody marys!! Also I am switching to weed for the first time in 30 years, as it helps me to not drink, and studies show more and more benefits from thc and cbd . That's my rationale.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey Day!Driving to Augusta to teach the first few days this week, looking forward to that. Sadie is doing better, by yesterday afternoon she was back to supervising the neighborhood and taking more interest in things going on. She's still limping and moving a bit slowly and carefully, especially on steps, but is even doing better there. I think she must have hurt herself jumping around, but it looks like she's recovering. I am going to crate her while I'm at work today so she isn't trying to get up and down the deck steps while I'm not around, just in case.

    Jazzy--The world does seem waterlogged, that's for sure. We've got rain, possibly mixed with Snow(!) tomorrow. Just when I thought I might be able to get into the yard to do some work! I am feeling more settled in at the new job, but am starting to feel a little nervous since our annual State inspection can happen any time now and I'm not totally sure I know everything I should. I keep reminding myself that I've only been there essentially a couple of months, I know the surveyors (as in having met them before at other surveys) and they are people like me who want the best for residents and patients, and will work with me. And the nursing home has been through thousands of inspections without having a Staff Educator and passed just fine, so I really don't have anything (much) to worry about.

    Chi--I hope your sis's situation gets sorted out quickly and is something easy to fix. Do you know how Bubly compares to San Pellegrino?I like the SP, but Bubly is a lot less expensive in the stores but I haven't tried it yet.

    Morning, Illi!

    Goldie--Sadie was 2 when she picked me to be her hooman. I'm not sure she could be considered adult at that point, based on her behavior! She has slowed down some, and she is starting to get notiecably gray in the muzzle. She's still eating well, and generally looking happy when I talk to her, so I'm hoping this is just a temporary thing that will heal up. I did see her bouncing a little bit around the yard yesterday peeyem, so I think things are getting better.

    Librarian--I think Sadie is on themend, and I think she probably hurt herself jumping around on the furniture while I was a work the other day. She keep knocking everything off the side table and it has moved on her before, I'm betting that's what happened. And we are always here to listen to complaints, rants, raves, celebrations, and everything else!

    Welcome, Amyadipose!Sounds like you've got your path figured out and it sounds good!

    Chi--the Hibiscus Margarita sounds and looks wonderful!

    Sandy, pretty cocktail. I do have some Hibiscus tea, and it's such a pretty color.

    NM, glad to hear Sadie is doing better and good idea to crate her for the day, just for her safety. As for the inspection, I think you are worried cuz you want everything perfect, for the facility, the patients and the employees. That's just you. OMG, no 2 is not an adult. I just hadn't realized it's been 9 years. I'm sitting here with my mouth open. How does time go by so fast?

    JCS, rant, rave, complain, laugh, cry, whatever. We don't care, we are here to share in all of it with each other.

    Hi Amy and welcome to the Hot Taddie's Lounge, aka HTL. Pull up a bar stool and have a cocktail with us. And here, you can have all the sugar you want!

    More rain again yesterday, really need to get to town for groceries and have lots to do to tidy up our trust and get it finished, like putting the trust name on everything, bank accounts, vehicles, etc. I just can't believe the amount of rain we have been getting, very unusual for this time of the year.

    Mornin' ladies,

    Late o n Mothers day but like Jazzy said it's really for everyone. Jeez everyone said what I was thinking so I probably don't have much to say except maybe I do. I never know.

    Illi I knew when I read more I'd figure out what's going on for u. And I'm sorry, now u have to go thru more rads, but hoping they are kind to u and all gets better.

    Welcome Amy , yea we're here for everyone who wants to get things off their chests <oh I know most of us don't have any chests> but there are still things we want to get off of them and no judgement at all.

    Kim u know Sadie has been with u so long and for some reason I always thing she's much younger and I know u take very good care of her. so she's going to be around for a long time.

    U gals are always so nice to me and say such nice things about me, that's why I' here, cuz when drinking everyone likes me so I'm safe here.

    We've had so much rain also the lawns are as green as can be.

    Michelle <Joanne's DD> came over for a couple of hrs. Sat. just to talk, she misses her mom so. Then yes Lori my 2nd husband had 8 kids and I like 2LOL and his sone who came over the other nite was one of them. I raised him his teenage years and we were pretty close and he and his wife are so nice and he seemed so glad to seem me and hugged me like crazy and the kids had a great time, good to hear laughing around here and Joey stayed home just to get to know them. So it was good. Yesterday I was so overtired I slept on and off all day. So Jodie came over for a while and I was with my kids all the rest of the day of course

    Grrr my phone has been ringing and I'm trying to write here and I'm getting confused so I'd better get going for now

    LUBS U ALL

    Oh wait another tidbit, I was married to their father for 6 yrs.then I lived with a man for 8 yrs., then I got caught up with this maniac for 6 years Now after we divorced I wanted nothing to do with him but Jodie who at this time also hated him saw hime in a store and when he did say helllo, he said something s narky so she was can I ask u something. He said yes. She said how does it feel t have a son who raped and killed a woman in jail for the rest of his life??? and walked away. She figured that was the best way to say FU without actually sayin it.. That was a horrible crime and the FBI was called in and they called me in on that one. . I acted like I did it, I was so stunned and shaky. That poor woman. And that's why I understand why woman can't get away from these horrible men, it's just not easy

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy rainy Tuesday! At least the prediction of snow has changed and that's no longer an concern. And Sadie has recovered from whatever injury she had, she jumped off the deck rather than go down the stairs yesterday afternoon, and hopped up and down off the bed a couple times last night without difficulty. I have to admit that I feel a bit relieved!Class went well yesterday, expect it will be another good one today. One student is 8 1/2 months pregnant, poor thing just isn't very comfortable most of the time. Another has 6 children at home! Nice bunch.

    Goldie--hard to believe Sadie's been running my life for 9 years! It has gone by fast. I am happy to see her back to her usual self.

    CammyCat--I hope Sadie will be running this household for some good long time to come! I do try to take good care of her and give her a good life. Sounds like you've had lots of company, that's a good thing! Glad Joey got to know some of them, too.

    Jazzy--that's a lot of water!

    Cammy--Holy Shmoly, what a horrible thing to have to go through! Good for Jodie for putting him in his place!

    Cami, you have such a huge loving family. Mine is so small, but I guess mainly cuz both my parents are only children. Glad you had a nice visit. I believe you have some sort of outing to go to, but I don't remember when or with who, maybe some girlfriends? Well now, what other secrets are you hiding in the closet of yours. What a story! And girl, you got around, didn't you!

    Jazzy, I always enjoy seeing the Rio Grande when I'm flying. I hope the flooding doesn't cause any problems. Are you ever off during the week?

    NM, so glad to hear Ms. Sadie is doing well. I know you are relieved.

    Was in town all day yesterday getting things done for the Trust, still more to do. Got a couple of spike plants so I can get my Geraniums planted.

    Oh, forgot to tell. I went into Denny's to use the restroom, ahead of me was a rather elderly couple, husband pushing very tiny fraile wife in a wheel chair. Well, they headed towards the restrooms as well. Husband looked rather concerned, as in, what do I do now! So I asked if she needed to use the restroom and she did, so I offered my assitance, which was gladly accepted. I asked her before I did anything, helping her stand, pull down her pants, pull them up, etc. So was so sweet, and kept telling me how nice that was of me. I told her I was happy to help, that I used to do that kind of work and also took care of my own mom. Of course my husband was wondering what was taking me so long! Not the first time I have done that either. Made me feel good.

    Mornin' ladies,

    Kim I'm glad sadie is doing OK, she's part of our team here and that's why I know she's in good hands. OOOHHHOOO I can't even think of how having 6 kids wouldn't knock the hell out of u. Altho I did want one more, but 3 was my limit. How she has time for herself to do anything is amazing.

    I'm way behind in my mind, I just took 4 phone calls. But it seems pretty quiet in here.

    Joey came home from school early yesterday his throat was all red and it hurt. He just had that a couple of weeks ago, this kid is falling apart But he had an important test today so he went. He gets out June 10th <his BD>so less than a month.

    Leslie showed me the most adorable dress but the hem is poofy, impossible for us to hem, and all of a sudden the wedding is this week. Time is just flying....oops, there it goes.So we have a list to do and neither of us feel like doing anything. We make a good pair right now.Plus she has a lot if dr. app'ts this week and her operation is next week And so many things just don't fit, cuz I did have some good clothes before. I don't know if I mentioned this but this last yr. I lost about 80 lbs. but I still need to wear long dresses or pants cu my legs still swell.

    Oh I'm on the phone to much now so, I'm going to close

    LUBS U ALL

    Goldie - that was so sweet of you to help that woman. Your mom must have been smiling down on you and proud of her kind daughter.

    Cami- that's a wow story. Your daughter put him in his place. I agree there are dangerous men who are hard to get away from. Glad you did sister.

    I hate waiting on results & been up and down the rabbit hole a few times. You all get that too 😉

    Haven't tried SP Essenza yet, as it doesn't seem to be available around here. (Some people love it, some think the "natural flavors" in it are weird). Looks relatively pricey, especially with each can capped with foil. (Me, I just rinse the tops of the cans of the stuff I drink--in fact, any can of anything I'm about to open). I'm sure Bubly is far cheaper. Soleil is even cheaper--it's Jewel/Albertson's store brand. The original flavored SP has juices and sugar--might as well be fancy soda pop.

    Lori, how selfless & thoughtful!

    We finally made it up above 50 here by the lake today--and 2 sunny days in a row. Still too cold to plant annuals, tender perennials or veggies (including tomatoes). Local Chalet Nursery suggests waiting till Memorial Day, as we can still get frosts in mid-May.

    My landscaper & I walked the backyard yesterday. The lilies-of-the-valley, dandelions, and violets are taking over my herb garden; the wild strawberries are always either anemic or get gobbled up by rabbits or squirrels before they're ripe enough to eat. So I will put little stakes in front of the herbs & flowers I want to save (chives, mint, oregano, hostas, daylilies, a few wild strawberries a black raspberry cane and begonias); and he will dig them up and pot them temporarily. Then he will mow everything else back, plow it under, put down a barrier and fresh topsoil. He will also restart my compost bin--some idiot threw cans, trash and even a broken solar light in there--with some "starter" worms. I've been trying to compost for years now, emptying the countertop compost can into the bin; and there is nothing even remotely resembling soil being made. At least there's a barrier beneath--last thing you want in compost is lily-of-the-valley debris, which is toxic. At least the spot reseeding of the lawn is "taking" nicely.

    Last night's DOTD, with steak leftovers, was the last 3 oz. of the 2015 Bogle Pinot Noir. Enjoying an iced mocha latte right now, via a straw--not taking out my aligner for it, and if it stains? Well, I'm changing to aligner #3 late tonight.

    A bit miffed (to put it mildly) about some future DsOTD: today UPS was supposed to deliver my bimonthly Mumm Napa Club shipment. I sat around and waited--looking out the window for the truck and then briefly went into the kitchen. My housekeeper was upstairs in the front bedroom, and she saw the truck. Neither of us heard any knock on the door--we have a LOUD brass doorknocker with a sign on the door instructing people to use it, as it's audible upstairs & down, front & rear. My housekeeper didn't see anyone walk out of the truck, nor hear anyone climbing our wooden front steps, so she assumed there was nothing arriving for us today.

    I then got an e-mail from Mumm Napa stating that delivery was unsuccessful (alcohol requires an adult signature). Went outside and there on the door was the "attempted delivery" post-it notice...with no time listed. Called Mumm and they said it's been happening a lot with UPS--the rep says next time she'll print my phone # on the label so the driver can call me (just like Peapod, AmazonFresh and GrubHub drivers do). Finally reached a live human at UPS--after first trying the website's robo-chat algorithm that can only give suggested answers to basic questions, and their voicemail-bot couldn't understand my tracking #; finally yelled the notice # and was transferred to a customer disservice operator (sounded like she was somewhere in Eastern Europe) who informed me that drivers aren't allowed to call customers! But she did refer my complaint to a supervisor, who called me back and promised to call me when the driver will be w/in an hour of my house. Obviously, the driver was too lazy to haul up a box with 6 bottles of bubbly, too hurried to wait for a signature, or both--so he just slapped the notice on my door & drove off.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump Day! Going to be a short/long day for me today. Class will be short, once they get their authorization to test paperwork things are pretty much over. So that will end early. But then I'm going in to the Nursing home to do a CPR recertification class in the evening. But that's ok, it will make for a very productive day, right? Sadie won't be quite so happy, though. She's not used to me going out again after getting home from work. That's alright, though, she'll get lots of attention this weekend when we go down to the Island to visit with my cousin who will be home from Vegas for the weekend.

    Cammy Cat--poor kitty!

    Goldie--yes, I am VERY relieve that the Silly girl is back to normal. That was a bit of a scare! So kind of you to help that couple.

    Cammy--I'm amazed at that woman, too!6 kids, full time nursing school, part time job all at once. And she did really well in school, too! Amazing what a person can do when they set their mind to it. Poor Joey, sounds like he's dealing witha lot of stress and anxiety right now. Between school and his mom and his birthday coming up it's not surprising! Make sure he takes care of himself! Oh, boy, now the wedding has crept up on you, too! So much going on!

    Jazzy--I hear you about waiting on results.

    Chi--I always figured the foil cap was a sales gimmick, but kind of fun to look at. Don't know if there are any Jewel or Albertson's around here, will have to look. Lily of the Valley is so beautiful, but awfully problematic. Potting up the keepers and restarting the garden bed sounds like a good idea. Sorry about people throwing junk in the compost bin, any idea who is doing that? Glad the reseeding is taking. I understand the reason for an adult signature for the delivery, but what a pain in the butt it turned into! Have you considered using a drop spot for the delivery? Around here most Walgreens are drop spots, will accept and hold packages needing signature, send out a text when the package arrives and they you can go and sign the package out when it's convenient for you. I use it all the time since I'm at work when packages are delivered, much easier than chasing the package around!

    Cami, can we just say that you and
    Leslie are just a hot mess??? I hope Joey feels better soon, Leslie can get the
    dress fixed and that you all can have a good time at the wedding. Waiting to
    hear how your SIL behaves. Is your brother able to attend?

    Jazzy, hoping your are more “UP” out
    of the rabbit hole. And of course we get it. You let us know as soon as you do,
    ‘bout your eye. Prayers and hugs for you sister.

    Sandy, I never get any of my
    strawberries either, something else always beats me to it. Ohhhhh how nice it
    would be to have someone come in and do all my gardening for me. Some of it I
    enjoy, some of it I don’t! As for putting phone numbers on the label, I don’t
    think it will help. We have done that for years, with packages going all over
    the country, and UPS does not call the customer. If they do do that, I would
    suggest highlighting the number as a hint perhaps. I wasn’t aware that the
    drivers were not allowed to call customers.

    NM, glad it’s an easy day for you and
    you are not bothered by going out twice, although Sadie may not be too excited.
    Are you getting nice enough weather yet to start gardening? Any more drama to
    report from the previous job? LOL!

    Well, something else to report that I
    forgot yesterday. (Remember my DH calls me Scarecrow, which has nothing to do
    with what I am going to tell, just that I forgot) My step daughter sent me a
    Mothers Day gift, it’s bath bombs. Well…..I don’t have a tub! DH didn’t want me
    to mention that to her, to just tell her thank you. As for helping that lady, I
    can’t imagine NOT helping someone in that situation. We will be leaving for a camping trip May 29 thru June 9. Most likely wont' have internet. I'll remind again later.

    I meant HUMP day!

    Mornin' Ladies,

    Everytime I come here my phone starts, there's cameras stuck in here.

    Lori what a kind and beautiful thing u did. Well actually I know u would do that at any time

    Jazzy u seem to have a little more time that I thought u'd have, but ur still busy with everything.

    Kim I wait for Sadie stories like crazy but not when she feels not so good.I would love cuddling with her. And ur right she's not going to like u leaving again hahaha. Jeez this job has done wonders for u.

    Sandy for one second when u were talking about the weather I thought sounds like my weather, then boi ng it kis my weather.

    I still haven't figured out what to wear this wedding on Sat. I can't wear those sweet little sandaly shoes or anything with a back cuzz of swelling, so told u gals I did get the ballet slippers, but I still have to glue the stones on them. I did buy a smaller siz dress but the length still has to be done and I looked at the weather cuz I do have a warmer style that was taken in and up a couple of months ago, but now my luck it will be warm. Now my new dress is sleeveless blah that'll never happen, but I do have 2 sheer different types of like sweatery things. One has my usual rhinestones down the front and the other just has different colors all over, either one will work. Then I wonder if I will work, my body doesn't always cooperate as u know. My brother won't be there, he's still in rehab and not doing as well as expected, but my batcrazy SIL will be there. I know that sounds mean, but I figured out all the things she says now she used to say behind peoples back, now it's said right to their faces So again she really hasn't changed, my sister and I wonder what she'll say to us now in person. They haven't even started any rehab on my brother, he's not well enough we hope he feels better or he'll be back in the hospital. UGH

    Leslie is seeing a new PC today MINE, so we'll see how this goes.

    LUBS U ALL

    Morning all!

    I get to have a tooth pulled this morning. Great way to start the day! Weather here has been beautiful. Sunny, highs in the 70’s, soft breeze. It will not last. Friday is supposed to be in the 90’s with the start of the humidity. My week off from chemo ends on Friday. Three weeks, then we will go to the beach for a few days. Our friends have a house right on the beach with another beautiful view from the porch. Sounds like everyone is busy either with work or family. Take care and enjoy living large

    Hello again all my dear drinking buddies on this forum! I have been incognito for the last couple of weeks -- Family Reunion in Daytona Beach Florida, and way too tired to do much of anything...then or now :( My meds seem to tire me out - hmmmph! All was well, then today I get a phone call that my parents (88 and 87 respectively) and my son and DIL from Australia were in a car accident which totaled my parents' car - rear ended :( Everyone doing well, but my son has 3 broken ribs and supposed to be flying home tomorrow - arghhh! I am enjoying beer (light) and a lovely red wine...will catch up with you all in the next few days Cheers Janice

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF Eve! Boy, this Loungette is tired! Went in to the Nursing home last evening to do a CPR class, didn't get done until 9 peeyem didn't get home to bed until almost 11 peeyem, and that's rough for a gal whose usually in bed by 9!That's OK, I'll manage.Sadie is just plain confused!

    Cammy Cat--Awwww!

    Goldie--There is more drama to report from the prior job! I ran into one of the people last last week, she talked for half an hour about how frustrating it's gotten with being assigned to different people and different areas every day, and not getting to see the people she's been seeing regularly for a long time any more. Several CNAs and nurses are looking to leave.The new office Director seems to be hard to work with, she's described as cold.Sounds like things are not going well at all. The going out twice wasn't too bad, I did get to catch a bit of a nap in between, what's hard was rolling out of the sack this ayem!Oh my, the bath bombs!That is just too funny!

    Cammy--Poor Sadie is a bit confused with me going out again last night for a bit. Then when the alarm went off this morning I hit the snooze button--first time is a very long time! She was lying next to me and nudged me with her (cold) snout, and when I said I'd get up in 10 minutes she put her head down. When the alarm went off and I hit Snooze again, she nudged me again, and kept nudging me until I sat up, and then she very quickly moved on top of the pillows so I couldn'tlay down again!She was looking at me as if to say "You need to get up. NOW." I'm sure you will pick out an absolutely gorgeous ensemble for the wedding.And I hope the Bat$hi$ Crazy SIL behaves or gets ingnored. Sorry to hear your brother isn't doing so well.

    Librarian--Getting a tooth pulled is not fun, hope it went easily and you are not uncomfortable. Enjoy the beach!

    Janky--Prayers for your son, DIL and parents!So scary!

    OK, running behind myself, gotta run!
