? Thank goodness Greg is such a handyman, is there anything he can’t turn his hand to?
I’m glad to hear that lifting is really helping you get stronger.
Hope shampooing the kitties goes well today @missy, without too much trauma for any of you. Do you have to stop yourself shouting ‘weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’ when going downhill
Well, let's see how long the fix lasts. He fixed it a few weeks ago and so far so good. Knock wood. Fingers crossed. The kitties are shampooed (let Tommy off the hook but the other three got shampoos) and Fred is not pleased. But we have no choice. Trying to save his life. He is the slowest to show improvement but praying he is not still contagious. This is a long haul. I cannot believe it's been 3 months already.
Jimmianne, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Missy, some day soon the cats will be well and you can give them a good earful
Hugs!
I’ve had some foils put in the front and a couple couple of inches chopped off.
My friends help me. They are truly amazing. I don’t deserve them, but are very grateful. You all included. Your kind words are a great comfort to me. One of my best friends even asked if I would like her to take these days off from work and come with us. I declined but it warmed my heart. Another friend is babysitting the dogs to make life a little easier for my husband. Angels all around. They make it easier to believe in the good forces that surely must fight the dark.
Spa day is great idea! Prayers for safe healing surgery for your mom and hugs to you.
@missy, wow, you and Greg have certainly racked up a lot of miles this cycling season, congrats! That's a lot of water on the roads, yikes. I read in the RW thread that Fred likes his arthritis medicine and am happy about that. I hope it helps him. I'm continuing to think of you, Greg, and the kitties and hoping that this awful rw is over soon. And I hope they do ok today with their baths. XOXOX. Your ice cream choices look so yummy! Love ice cream and I love that large size too LOL. Aw, thank you for the nice compliment; we had a good time at the wedding. Love your downhill pic and pics of the ocean, gorgeous scenery
@Jimmianne, I hope you're feeling better. I'm so sorry about Mr. Monet. So hard to lose a fur baby. <3
@canuk-gal, hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving celebration with your family. Thanks for the rec and I will definitely check Pomellato out.
@Scandinavian, thinking of you and your mother, and wishing her a smooth and successful surgery. Take care and rest when you can. XOX
@Slick1, I'm so glad you had a wonderful wedding weekend. You deserve it after all you've been through. Love the pic of you and your ds; you look absolutely beautiful!
@marcy, wow, you have been having some crazy weather. It seems so early for ice and snow but I know winter comes early in Wyoming. We're beening spoiled here in central NJ with mild weather but it's just a matter of time LOL. Great news about Marty being able to cover the bills at the gym; happy for him (and you haha). It's discouraging that things need to repaired so often, isnt' it?...we just had to replace the coils in our furnace in NJ and it's not that old. Better than having to get a new one I guess. Good to read that your knees are doing pretty well. Very pretty pic of the moon rising.
@bling_dream19, such a cute story about your mom and lol, so sweet. It's so exciting that you found a dress and feel fabulous in it! I personally think it's great you went by yourself...you can make up your own mind and shop in peace. I get stressed when I clothes shop with someone. Your jewelry choices sound perfect; you are going to look amazing. I'm sorry the pink band didn't work out but there are other companies out there and I'm sure you can find a replacement.
@jaaron, I understand your feelings but your puppy will have his own unique personality so I think you will lose that feeling that it seems like you're trying to replace him once you have him. I'm sure it will lift your spirits to have a new fur baby to love. Oh no to losing an earring...but I love what you've been wearing, so pretty.
@Austina, I'm sorry Colin is still sore and feeling a bit under the weather and I hope he improves with each passing day. So great that Adam and Kim are coming...it will be a good distraction for you and Colin and just being around other people can one cheer one up a little. It's been a rough few weeks for you. (((Hugs)))
@AV_, less chocolate in the pantry...I know how that goes! LOVE dark chocolate...and coffee. We have a lot in common lol! Sounds like you are having a break in your work schedule and I hope you are enjoying the down time while it lasts. <3
The wedding was lovely and we had a great time. My niece looked beautiful. Nice to get together with people we haven't seen in a while. I'm leaving for South Carolina tomorrow so I'm going to spend today packing and cleaning.
Sending support and good thoughts to all the nirdis XOXOX
Good morning lovely ladies. It's (we hope) Wonderful Wednesday despite being a very stormy day predicted at the shore.
@junebug17 I am so glad you enjoyed your niece's wedding and that everyone looked beautiful and had a great time. Always heartwarming to celebrate happy events with loved ones. That is what life is about. Love and connections and all that good stuff. The other stuff is just noise and allows us to contrast and appreciate the wonderful. Sending you hugs and safe travel dust and may you enjoy a lovely visit in SC.
@bling_dream19 you are so lovely and upbeat and kind and it is easy to give the same back to you. We are all so happy you are thrilled with your wedding dress and I cannot wait to hear more about your plans. Did you set a date yet? It's quite possible I missed that as this thread is moving fast. Thank you for enjoying my photos. I really enjoy sharing with you girls. No beach photos today sadly as it is supposed to be stormy and rainy but that is OK. It has been a great weather run for sure.
@marcy oh no I am so sorry you are missing a diamond from your mom's pendant. And also about your knee. Ugh. I am sending you so much healing dust and may your pesky knee start feeling much better soon. If not I think you and Greg should have a double room at HSS and get knee replacement surgery in January...I would take care of you both. You are making me hungry for bread you rascal you lol. And grilled cheese. Yummmmm. Though I am not sure what I think of grilled cheese with PB. Let me think about that.
@Slick happy hump day. Hope you are having a good week.
@Jimmianne I am here for you anytime. Offline or on. I know things will work out. Sending you hugs.
@canuk-gal hope you are enjoying mild weather and having a wonderful week with loved ones enjoying delicious food.
@Mamabean thinking of you and hoping all is well.
@Scandinavian continued healing dust being sent to your mom and hugs to you both.
@Austina I hope you are having a great time with Adam and Kim and that Colin is feeling much better.
@AV_ how is your week going? Hope things are progressing smoothly and that you are enjoying a lovely week.
@Daisys and Diamonds welcome to NIRDIs. Glad you found us and don't feel obligated to read the whole thread. It's super long and I am sure super boring. LOL. Yes it's been a challenging few years but hey they make us tough in Brooklyn and the Jersey Shore.
Please share anything you want to here. This is a thread for everyone. This thread is for sharing and caring and celebrating the joy and venting the not so joyous all that jazz. You know that saying? “Shared joy is double joy; Shared sorrow is half a sorrow. That's what I believe anyway. Sending you hugs from the Jersey Shore. And yes I post lots of Jersey shore photos.
Here's the Jersey Shore ice cream we enjoyed yesterday during our bike ride. Mine is vegan (almond coffee) and Greg got PB Monster. Yummm is an understatement.
and it was another perfect day at the Jersey shore yesterday. @Daisys and Diamonds here you go.
The Jersey shore in Autumn. Glistening sea and beautiful sandy beaches.
L-S dip went OK I guess. But I am frustrated with the vet's office. The head vet is on vacation but the other vet was supposed to call us with answers to an important question and nothing. I am disappointed with this office and also they are nickeling and diming us to death but that's something I have no energy to deal with and just want our cats to get better. Really tired of the whole affair and I wish I could tell the vet what I think of her and her office. But I have to suck it up because the welfare of our cats comes first.
No cycling today and not sure we have any cycling days left this year but I hope we do. Fed the cats and then gave them their meds this AM and we are having breakfast. Soon off to clean and because it is a rainy day after Greg works (he's working from home again due to torrential rains predicted here and the ferry is no fun to take in torrential rains) we are going to run some errands time permitting.
Have a wonderful Wednesday lovely ladies. XO
