    Loverly- the headache is gone. My new temp crown is doing okay. I have had bone loss in that tooth as well. Everything you do creates another problem, yes? I am fortunate to have good teeth and few problems, but have had more issues the past year. My mother had osteoporosis and of the teeth too so I am watchful. Thanks for checking in.

    I had a lovely outing yesterday with my friend, Delicious pad thai with bbq pork for lunch, and then we saw the movie, Hidden Figures. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time, and a true story about three women who worked for NASA in the early 60s and overcame some enormous biases. It was highly inspirational and feel good. I recommend it!

    I am off to yoga class shortly. Ha ha, when I am not doing yoga you wonder?

    I'm done trying to get him to to to PCP. When he starts his chit I walk away.

    tsk tsk tsk (shaking my head).

    Jazzy, you work hard and play well....good for you! Pad Thai and BBQ pork~ yum! Hidden Figures sounds like a good one to watch. Besides comedy, I love inspirational movies. l really enjoy Octavia Spencer in The Help. Yup, got to balance it out with yoga. Ha!

    I miss cable TV. Used to watch Forensic File on the TLC too....oh the mind of a criminal Shocked. Have not watched Criminal Mind or Law and Order SVU lately either. What have I been doing with my time?

    Peppy, Sensi, and Ms. S, we will be hiking Tomales Point trail in the Bay Area on February 25th. You want to join me?I can drive.

    Shepk, mandarin is smaller and easier to peel than an orange. The flesh is not as fibrous as that of an orange. It has its own distinct citrus fragrance. One thing nice about the west side here is we have many varieties of fruits and vegetables compared to the east side of the States.

    Shep - Thank you for not pushing the o instead of the p, makes a big difference! Maybe I should change my name again this time to Peppy I actually like it. Mandarines - do they not have Cuties in your land? Yum

    Sensi - That poor fence and the wind has been bad again. Does that mean the doggies have to stay in more?

    Spookie - What color is your Kris supposed to be? Singing

    Loverly - The hike would be fun for our next get together! Not sure on timing...

    Went to see obgyn/oncologist today. Cant remember if I shared that my genetic testing came back PALB2 positive. There isnt a lot known about it yet but Ovarian cancer (as well as Pancreatic) is linked to it so Oophorectomy is my next step sometime in February. Can you believe Oophorectomy!

    Yep that's Kris on the coffee table.

    Our dog park floods every summer in the monsoon season. I wasn't watching him closely that night, and, well, that's what happened. If you look at his dirty picture, that's Spookie to his left. Her feet are a little dirty. Good thing she didn't follow him, it's over her headimage

    Susie, so sorry to here about your grandson. Saying prayers for him and all the family.

    Chance and Kris look like they know how to have fun, LOL. Lover, we had a beagle that loved to roll in ... I'll let your mind fill that one in. I had just shampooed my rugs and furniture the day before. Hubby walked him before he went to work as I'm getting my oldest ready for school. Yup, he hit the rugs and furniture. My girls were infants and I wouldn't bring them downstairs until I cleaned everything again. Needless to say, hubby got an earful.

    A good orange is a Minneola. Nice size and sweet and juicy. So far they don't have a long season. Yummy.

    Evie and Elena are beautiful girls. Growing so fast.

    JunieB, how is Kirby doing? We need another picture of the cutie.

    Down to watching only two TV shows. Sherlock, because of Benedict Cumberbatch, and Finding Your Roots, doing the family ancestry thing.

    Have not been able to get hubby to go to the doctor. Told him he was on a slippery slope with his health. Part of his stubbornness stems from the fact thathis parents went to the doctor for the slightest of things. Told him there is a difference between doing that and going when there is a Real problem.

    Shep, love the nite nite picture of Tuna. I don't know if anyone knows about him. He is a rescue dog, Chihuahua and Dachshund I believe. Has a really bad overbite. Does a lot of travel promoting pet adoption.

    If you go see Hidden Figures, see this afterwards. It's a great movie but made me sad and mad. And a bit ashamed to be white. Wasn't raised that way.

    An interesting story about the similarities and differences between the movie and real life.

    Susie, Hope grandson is better.

    Sensi, I think you both got a bath!

    Evie, recently. Apparently they were both after GDs food!

    Got back from retreat on Wednesday. Everything is put away and I'm getting stuff ready for the next 2. Since I probably won't be able to lift anything for awhile, I'm trying to make it easy for whose helping me. I didn't get anything finished at the last retreat. I don't know where 4 days went! I did start Evie's tuffet but only got half sewn. I need to do the other half before Tuesday.

    I don't know about the hike. I'll see!

    Hi feline. How's your part of the world doing? Racy weather? Nothing down here. A few branches broke but no damage done.

    Night. Quilt class tomorrow morning

    Susie, My thoughts are with you.

    I'll have to go back and take notes..have been reading and thinking of all of you, and hoping the best for each of you.

    My update...

    I'm tired..I worked T-F this week, and two days were six hour shifts. A shock to my system! I'm clearly not as strong as I used to be and some movements I could feel internally, where I had IMF work done. It's discouraging to not be able to do things.

    I've planned my next surgery for April..fat grafting. It's going to be necessary to achieve symmetry.

    This morning I'm starting Anastrozole. One AI caused severe joint pain, another a rash, so hoping this one is kind to me.

    Hoping to catch up with all of you tonight or tomorrow. Have a good day everyone!

    Smaarty, the daffoldils are coming up here. The year round bird population is being swollen by our migratory birds returning. YOU can really hear the difference in the dawn chorus. It's great.

    Nerdy

    Susie glad to hear you are with your daughter. May God bless and protect Ethan.

    Praise the Lord, we arrived home safely even with all the rain and snow...

    There is snow up there but you can barely see it. Lots of snow on The Grapevine coming out of LA further north, but camera was put away.

    I'm pretty much all unpacked after our Palm Springs/Joshua Tree trip (but daughter and husband left all their shiz in the foyer and hallway, oh well). I don't care anymore. I'm too tired. Having a glass of wine and then going to bed!!! Mr. Diarrhea was cooperative for the trip after I slayed him with a few DOUBLE doses of Imodium.

    We were there when the Obamas flew in to Palm Springs. Couldn't see them because of the security stuff, but we drove by Thunderbird at Rancho Mirage, where all of the previous Presidents usually stay, and we cheered and gave a heartfelt salute, saying "Thank you, my dear sir, for serving our country so well with dignity and grace." Also, daughter is going to buy me a stuffed toy organ.....Mr. Colon!!! (You can get them on line.) I'm thinking of setting up an altar to keep the nasty colon deities at bay so I won't have to wear frickin' Depends all the time :o).

    The whole California has been hit with series of storms. I couldn't sleep yesterday for fear the glass windows would break with the strong wind. That was some strong wind! Feel bad for the homeless here.

    Glad you arrived home safely, Lita.

    Sensi, how was your "Monday"?

    Peppy, possible surgery in February :( ??

    Ms. S, are you ready? Evie has that mischievous smile.

    JunieB, do you have new mom sleep deprivation?

    WildT, so which one are you? Poet, thinker, silence seekers...

    Ms. Chevy, you can't be out in your yard working yet. Are you knitting?

    Susan, you have been quiet too. Hope things are ok and you are just enjoying your time with Elena.

    Shepk, yoooohooo.

    Kath, DH is stubborn too. He has high cholesterol, but still indulges in sweets and red meatBawling

    Mommy, are you taking classes this term?

    My niece:

    4 weeks tomorrow. Hopefully, I will get to see her next week. They are moving back to California. Yay!

    Sensi, it is still too early for her to land.

  • Wildtulip
    Wildtulip Member Posts: 470

    Sensi, Lovely..You still here?

    Lovely, I would be the overthinker.

    My son is getting a sleep study right now. He's sleeping, so that's good. Parent bed So hard!

    Lover-my Monday was good. Just getting ready for bed. My nap after work has me up still. Your niece is adorable. I look forward to more pictures.

    Our weather has been horrible. The winds woke me up at 4 today. I often worry about the homeless too. I know of a couple of places, where tents are set up. I just threw an extra sleeping bag in my truck, so I can give it to someone. Wish there was more I could do.

    Waving hello to Wil

    Yes, nap can mess up your sleep pattern. I used to have ponchos in my car. Need to stock up.On my way to work, I often see people sleeping on the street or corners. Seems like we have more and more now. We need better treatment and resources for mental health patients. Good night. Have a good day at work tomorrow.

    WildT, I am an over thinker too, but how come I can't get up that early. Actually, I like to wake up before sunrise. Somehow, my body does not cooperate Happy

    Are you in a sleeping center with DS?

  • Wildtulip
    Wildtulip Member Posts: 470

    Yes, I'm in the room with my son. I'm sitting in my bed right now, reading & drinking tea. They do have a room with a recliner if I need to go there. The bed I'm on is so hard my body hurts after a couple hours sleep.
