LOVE our new couches and ottomans! They are silver white and they are the perfect color and style IMO. Comfort wise they are harder than our previous couches but they seem comfortable for sitting on them for a minute. I'll report back tomorrow after using them this evening. And everything got delivered and on time too. I guess wonders never cease
It was a big deal at the time.
@MamaBee please research Trigeminal Neuralgia. I also took Gabapentin but it did not help me much if at all!! If the symptoms of TN look familiar to you, feel free to reach out to me on IG. Sending hugs and well wishes to you
@canuk-gal Not great..My blood pressure went up today which scared me..but @missy and @mrs-b calmed me down..My doctor prescribed Gabapentin today..I’ll take one tonight and one tomorrow night at bedtime. Then I’ll take one twice a day. I hope it works. She said it will work in two to three days but that’s not what I’ve read or been told. She ordered an MRI of my head and an X-ray of my neck. The earliest I could get one is April 1st. I made an appointment with a neurologist..It’s for November 8!!!! The scheduler said if anything comes up of concern on the MRI then my doctor can push it along a little faster. It’s ridiculous..I hope for this to be way gone by November.
I’m so happy you like them! Please take a pic..

@missy I’m sorry your asthma is giving you trouble..
Your couch looks very pretty! It looks huge! How long is it? Everyone can snuggle on it at once! Gracie looks like she claimed it all for herself though!
Thanks Joanne.
I think the couch is 91” and the love seat is 63”
Hallo NIRDIs!
@canuk-gal - bummer re the snow! Hoping it comes and goes quickly. How are your hands? Does the cold make them worse?
@Austina - how many days till you leave? I know it's imminent. I hope your visit with your friends goes great guns - and great idea re the TENS machine! Are you concerned that a trip 'home' will make you home sick? it's one of the reasons I don't go back to Australia for visits.
@marcy - the frame looks wonderful! I know it's just a frame, but as soon as a house goes vertical, it just looks so much more,..house-like, doesn't it? You're going to have a teddy bear door wreath, right? RIGHT??
@missy - lovely sofas! Well, sofa, I suppose (Nothing ever goes smoothly, does it?!). Hoping the other one turns up very quickly! And hoping your asthma is calmer today. How are Greg's knees doing? And - jewelry photos below!
@MamaBee - I've been trying to see an endocrinologist since Jan last year. My appt was meant to be next month, but they called me this morning to let me know she'd left the practice. So I took the next appt...which is in November. So - 21 months from when I first called until I am *supposed* to have an appointment. Given that they've rescheduled twice, I'm not holding up much hope. How is everything else going? Hang in there, my friend!
Hi @Slickk! And hallo to Bear! Looking very perky and sassy, post his bath! Hoping the term is going well for you!
@springerspaniel - thinking of you. Can we get together in the summer? It's definitely time to meet up! Maybe we could come up to you? Drop me an email and let me know if you fancy day-trip visitors!
@bling_dream19 - thinking about you a LOT at the moment. Sending you all good thoughts!
AFM (as for me) - the abdominal/pelvic scan results came back - all clear. I had a follow up appt today with the vascular surgeon re the carotid stent I had some years ago - also all clear, BP, pulse and O2 sats - all very good. Went out with Tim for a celebratory lunch - most enjoyable. Eleanor heads off tomorrow for 2 weeks in Hawaii with her dad and brother - I am SO jealous. Entyvio has changed my life for the better re coping with Crohns, but it's very limiting, in that I have to be here every 8 weeks for an infusion. So from that aspect - major PITN.
So - 2 worst jewelry photos of all time coming up....
Firstly, my newly set .8ct K SI1 AVR in 18kt bezel with Andrew Moline GSS pearls:
And my diamond pendant - cleaned by Amy within an inch of its life and triple rhodium plated, with new bail on platinum chain (nicer in real life than it looks here):
And lastly - a photo from yesterday's afternoon tea with Eleanor - coffees with hearts from the staff of our local coffee shop:
Happy Tuesday, NIRDIs!

@missy How is your asthma doing today? It must be so uncomfortable. Does being outside help?
Chris..my son..trained Smoky to walk on a leash outside. It’s hysterical. He will sit near the door and meow to go out. He created a mix of cat and dog…People can’t believe he got the cat to behave on a leash. He has always been good with animals. He just loves Smoky so much..The crazy face is Smoky begging to go out.
@Austina I told my husband I may not get an appointment for a few months but eight months!? I hope it resolves by then and I can cancel.
Your Chili and Bolognese sounds wonderful. I can’t wait until I can have something other than chicken, rice, applesauce and bananas.
I’m happy you are going to visit your friends..How long is the plane ride there? We’re supposed to go May 5th but I don’t think I’ll be in shape to go at that point. My husband won’t cancel..He’s more optimistic than me..
UMMM Smoky broke the Internet!!!!!!!!!! What a supreme photo!!! Chris and Smoky the dynamic duo! I LOVE this so much!
