INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Been a lot going on this past week, and a few things to share. The best news, finished my final check ups last week with the MO (not sure if I shared that here yet) and found out I only have to do five (vs. 10) years on the AIs. I will be done with those by next March (2018).
The not great news is my car got broken in to at my gym this past weekend during the Superbowl, and while I was swimming. I came out to find one of the back windows punched out. This same thing happened in 2011 and learned my lesson then not to keep anything of value in the car, and everything else locked up (like remote, insurance cards, etc). They stole a bag with yoga stuff, I guess they thought it was a purse or something. I got the window fixed quickly (within 24 hours) and am moving on from that now. I hope the thieves enjoy their yoga practice.
Today I traded in an old mountain bike I have not ridden in awhile for some credit, and bought this cute new bike called a Townie. She is getting pimped out with some extras like some lights, odometer, etc. and hope to bring her home on Thursday (photo included).
And finally, I am going to Vegas for the weekend and doing a bucket list item and going to see Elton John at Ceasers Palace as part of the visit. Rocket man, here I come!
How about that for an update?

Yeah, I guess our Shep is still trying to recover from yesterday loooong day. Would a zen spa help?
Or would you prefer...

Awww WildT, that is a compliment! BTW, how long did it take you to come up with that?
I like the real pic of Carol instead because they made her head too big with the cartoon. Don't you think this is better?
Sensi, yuck! Those nasty destructive critters! We had problems with them before too. Got into the engine area of my SUV and chewed up the windshield washer hose. Thank God it was not something more expensive. Hope you won't have to pick up extra shifts to pay for the damage to the heater. Have a safe trip to our northern neighboring state.
MamaJ, I can tell you are better
Jazzy, I can't believe the thief's sense of entitlement. Was this the same place where someone hit your convertible?
I always enjoy reading about your excursions. Have fun in Las Vegas. Cute bike btw.
Mags, thinking of you.
Sleep fairy has arrived a long time ago. Nite nite and good morning to our friend on the other side of the earth.

Oh hi, Susie. Are you back home? How are you doing?
MammaRay and I exchanged text this evening. She is hanging in there. Trying to encourage her as the HS leads.

Bracing for the snow that is coming my way tomorrow. Could see 6-12 inches of the stuff.

Loverly- no, the convertible was hit a farmers market up the road, the break in this week was at my gym (ugh). They have some known issues of break in issues at this place. They have all those disclaimer notices about not being responsible for people's property. I get that but at the same time, what are you doing to keep people feeling safe when they go to work out? Thugs in that parking lot.....
The manager was supposed to call me on Monday but nothing. I was going to suggest they get some parking lot security to keep their members safe. I may drop out of this gym, and finding another place to go. I have had issues with this place for awhile anyways. May be time for a change.....

Jazzy, Congrats on only 1 more year of the AI!!! The bike is adorable. I SO wish I was joining you in Vegas to see Elton John. I bet the concert will be fabulous!! Bummer about the car break in. You said you had learned to lock up remote and ins card...do you lock in glove compartment every time you drive? Good of you to pass on that lesson.
Loverly, No...compliment sincere, so did not take long at all to come up with it! And the reason I always call you loverly is because I believe you are lovely..inside and out. Yes, your Carol Burnett pic is better..I was just going with the cute/funny version at the time for Shep's entertainment value. What did you mean about the HS leads with regards to Mammaray? (HS to me is high school, so I'm confused.)

Jazzy, you would think the wise thing for the gym to do is to install cameras.
WildT, I had to give you a hard time, my friend. Ha!
MammaRay and I share almost the same faith. HS stands for Holy Spirit. I have no wisdom in encouraging a sister whose shoes I have not walked in and I depend on the Holy Spirit to guide me in comforting her. God knows how many times I have put both feet in my mouth. I was just trying to be considerate of our sisters here who don't have the same belief. I used to get annoyed when people talk about God or Christianity (I shouldn't, but still do with some) But since you asked😃..,,,
How was the basketball game?

Wild Tulip, Glad you asked about HS. I was equally baffled.

hey, I share the same faith and was baffled

I had a funny picture after the baffled. I am baffled it disappeared. 🤔

Loverly- they have cameras

All hunkered down and ready for the snow

Hope you have enough food and entertainment, Mommy.
Forgot it's Wacky Wednesday.
WildT, this is what I would look like if you turn me into a cartoon character.

Umm, OK Lovely, let's stick with the real you! Thanks for the explanation. Basketball tournament was good..DSs team won one & lost one. DS made first basket of first game! He needs to have his wisdom teeth out and in a couple weeks has a check up with ENT as follow up to sleep study, so I'm going to ask that surgeries be combined if he needs tonsils out. I'm going to try to put off till summer, though.

Wildtulip- you asked if I always lock the glove compartment with the remote. I try to and do most of the time (every once and awhile when in rush I forget). The first time my car got broke in to in 2011, the officer told me to do that because many times, they are looking to steal your insurance car and remote to go break in to your home. Many people get double robbed by thieves who steal things from their cars and go home to find their home vandalized. They are going to go for anything visible and easy to grab so keep those things secured or on your person.
It is hard to think like a thief but I am learning.....

Jazzy, love the bike, too.
I'm a little t'd off because someone hit my car while I was parked in front of my friend's house at her super bowl party. I'll have to replace the whole bumper. I guess it could have been worse...I could've been IN the car when it happened. Naturally, the person did NOT leave a note like you're supposed to do. It happens all the time nowadays. People just don't care anymore.

Lita- I am so sorry to hear about your car getting hit. Superbowl sunday was not good for a few of us with our cars. I had a hit and run on my other car the summer before last and it was a hassle. Sorry sister. There are things to be grateful for in this, but it is frustrating none the less. Time and money........
Do be sure that you get a police report if you have not yet. It put my claim under uninsured motorist and really dropped my out of pocket on that claim.

Got everything I need to weather this snow event. Hubby even got the news last night that his job is closed today! They usually don't let the employees know until the morning of the weather event.
Just heard this morning we have more snow coming Saturday.

This storm I am getting is brutal. Must have a good foot if not more so far and its not over yet

Major flooding and mudslides here. Creeks and reservoirs rising. I've lived in California my entire life...if it's not years of drought, it's floods. Just the way it is.
Praying for the folks who've been inconvenienced and displaced by all the bad weather all across the country.

Lita, it is raining cats and dogs here in the valley.

Mommy, our weather reported thundersnows in CT. Did your area have any

so sorry to just jump in, I am up all night terrified about a biopsy tomorrow.
Not so much about the results, but just the pair from stereotactic.
Anywho, I was up in the snow all day in CT
Peace love cookies

Cookie...we'll be there with you in spirit.

Kath, we did get some thundersnow here. According to one news station here we got 16 inches

Morning gals.........Hey Cookie! We all know that feeling! It's so awful to be thinking about biopsies and maybe surgery and all that kind of stuff, but just come back here... We've all be there and done that, and we're here to help!
Can ANYone give me suggestions on how to deal with this ASTHMA??? I'm going back for a "check-up" today, and the "pneumonia" is much better.... I FEEL better, just that when I lay down, even after a treatment, that "scraping" and squeaking just sometimes scare the day-lights out of you.
I'm going to look it up.... maybe put the humidifier in my bedroom? I stacked up all the pillows, and being propped up, helped... but I hope our little Doc has some suggestions!

cookie, best wishes today!!!
Chevy, no ideas here, but thinking of you and hope you get some answers today.
Love & hugs everyone!
