GM girls!
@junebug17 how fun that both DD and DS visited at the same time and sweet that your DD stayed for a few days after the weekend. That speaks volumes that they want to visit. You are a much loved momma, wife, friend, sister.
Yay for getting exercise classes in too. Thank you for your continued good wishes for Francesca. (((Hugs))).
@marcy TGIF. Sweet Friday. Got here quickly for me but perhaps it took a bit longer for you. Ooh to that blown bulb. That is not fun and lucky no one was hurt. Did I ever share the story with you when a glass fixture from the ceiling shattered? Greg was away on business and the light fixture in my exercise room went out. And we have 11 foot ceilings and it was right over the treadmill. Now I could have called the super or mainentance guys but no. I call Greg and say help me change this bulb. LOL Long story short I got the step stool and did everything Greg told me to do and successfully changed the bulb.
BUT he left out an important step because less than a day later the light fixture fell and shattered because I had not locked it into place.
Yup, another Lucy moment 
and thankfully no one was in the room when it crashed. This is what happens when I try doing it myself.
But I don't let that stop me and I keep on trying.
LOL to your unusual vertical snow. That must have been very pretty though horizontal snow can be pretty to when one is inside safe and warm and cozy. Thanks for all your lovely comments and good thoughts. XO
@AV_
thank you. One part of me isn't falling apart yet thank goodness and fingers crossed the good news continues for all of us. 
Wonderful you enjoyed a nice long walk last night. What a perfect way to end the day. Glad your weather is cooperating and allowing you to take a thesis break. When the weather is nice here I just want to get out and enjoy it too. But here it is more rare to have good weather I think so one must take advantage of it when it happens. Or make do with the inclement weather and just brave the elements which yes I occasionally enjoy doing as well. I love small bookstores and try purchasing books from them vs the chains as to support local businesses. I miss the local bookstores that have closed and are out of business and we just have a couple of the mom and pop bookstores left in my neighborhood. 
Hope you enjoy a lovely Friday. (((Hugs))).
@Tekate how is your week going? Any weekend plans? Did Chris find a place yet? Hoping all is well by you. And sending you (((hugs))).
@Calliecake thank you. It is going to be a longer drawn out process than I initially even thought. More on that below. Hope you are still sleeping and having sweet dreams. Oh and I think you need a third fun car and that will solve all your problems. One for J, one for you and transporting everyone and one coupe just for fun. Think of me as the problem solver. Here for my NIRDIs anytime.
@Jimmianne when are you heading back to France? Thinking of you and hoping all the rest of the wedding planning is going smoothly and you are doing well. And getting through all that stuff you need to go through and clear out. Sending you good thoughts and (((hugs))).
@Sandeek hope you are feeling well. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending continued healing vibes your way. XOXO.
@Austina have fun getting your hair all prettied up.
So the aero chamber arrived a day early woohoo. But I spoke with Debbie and we have to get Francesca used to it before administering the meds through it. Because if she freaks out we cannot forcefully apply the meds and we are out of options. So we watched some youtube videos last night and tried the tricks but she is having none of it. The key is to gently introduce her to the face mask so she doesn't fight it when we have to hold it over her nose and mouth. This is a cat we are talking about and if anyone knows cats they know this is no easy feat. I tried a few times yesterday and rubbed cat nip over it and she sniffed it but wouldn't allow me to put it over her mouth and nose yet. I put cat treats in it but same reaction. So today again we will try and one youtube video showed the woman trying these tricks for a full week before finally her kitty would allow it to go over her nose and mouth. And I have a feeling Francesca won't be as easy. But we are not going to rush into this and traumatize her because then we won't ever be able to nebulize her so slow and steady and I appreciate any and all good wishes for her. Cats are challenging and weird and wonderful animals. I love them but they are sure not easy. But then I guess most worthwhile things and people and animals all take work.
Have a wonderful Friday ladies.

, Missy. Sounds tricky but I trust you to find a way.
Yum to lasagne, especially with salad and garlic bread 
Yikes to the exploding light bulb, thank goodness you didn’t get hit by glass shards. Boo to the cold, icy weather maintaining a stronghold there. We’re having unseasonably warm temperatures, it’s been really sunny since we got home. I believe it’s even been warmer here than in Austin. 
for the heart scores, what great news. Sweet that you’re getting use out of your new boots, they really brighten a snowy day. How awful that 2 young men lost their lives to motorbike accidents, we were very relieved that Adam never wanted one. 
I love the Porsche Boxster too and in fact right after the MG it is one of my favorites. Remember my wishful license plate? OMGMG or MGOMG.
Thanks for sharing.
That’s one cute kitty
