HI:
Enjoying the fine weather--went out for a ride. My DH went for a drive instead. I needed a few things at the Pharmacy but called ahead first to see if they had the supplies--as many places are out. They had no sani wipes--luckily I still have some.
Hope everyone is well.
@missy glad you got a walk in! What is wrong with Sir Tommy?
cheers--Sharon

Evening everyone, 
another bright sunny day here and the wild flower seeds that we planted about 2 weeks ago have thrown up shoots.
Getting out in the garden is a real pleasure at the moment. I am not a huge fan of hot weather at all but this temperate weather is lovely!
My husband and son went out today for a long walk so I had a bit of rare peace on my own.
@Mamabean I am so glad David enjoyed his birthday. Even in the current lockdown situation it's the simple things in life that mean so much!
@Austina Hi lovely, glad you're enjoying the sun but knowing the typical UK weather this will be our summer and our actual summer will be a washout.
@missy I have been oo-ing and ah-ing over your friends baby. What an absolute sweetheart. I bet you can't wait to meet her!
@Tekate I am so sorry that something upset you! ((hugs))
Hi @marcy @AV_ @Scandinavian @Daisys and Diamonds @Jimmianne and everyone. Take care x

Hi NIRDI’s!
@Mamabean your pizza looks delicious. I am heating up my last 2 pieces of pizza for supper; I know it won’t be the same as yours. As for lifting I was thinking of how hard I had to work last year to get a 45 pound bar that came in a thick, heavy tube while Marty was in LA. I had to roll it to the door, open the door, pick up the end and set it on the step in to the house, then pick up the other end and slide it in (it’s maybe a 5 foot tube). Then I had to angle it down the hall and get it out of the way. It would be so much easier for me now.
@TechieTechie oh no to blowing out your knee. How is it doing now? How fun to help pick out your niece’s engagement ring. Hi Pumpkin.
@Calliiecake rats your post made me say darn I forgot to get some ice cream this morning. What is your favorite flavor? I cut back how much weight I lift on presses and rows to help my shoulder; it does help.
@missy sending mega dust to Tommy. I hope you found out if your appointment is live or online. That is definitely a late notice. Sweet picture of Gracie. What a precious little girl. She is so cute and I love her outfit. I hope you and Greg are feeling better.
@Austina how cool you remember the date you and Colin met; 42 years and still enjoying each other’s company. How did you and Colin meet? I had that kind of thing written down in an address book that I threw out when we moved. I know we met in February and got engaged in September but that’s as close as I come. Pizza sure sounds good. I am warming up 2 pieces of Pizza Hut now.
@bling_dream19 definitely get some pictures of those gorgeous dogwoods. I like to enjoy them without sneezing. You are definitely doing great at keeping busy and doing things you enjoy. I must admit however my eye is almost twitching thinking about some lotion on your gorgeous diamond. I’ll never forget how much my FIL laughed at the horror on my face when I accidentally got my then 1 carat diamond ring dipped in some nacho cheese sauce. He still laughs about it. I came home, sprayed it with windex, then soaked it in Dawn dishwater for about 10 minutes, then soaked it in windex, and then used my steamer. OCD here much? Yes!!!
@AV_ I’m with you - I avoid anything medical whenever possible.
@canuk-gal that’s great you enjoyed some lovely weather and a ride. Sani wipes are non-existent here too.
@Niffler75 wow that’s great your seeds have sprouted. We are having spring weather this week but it’s too early to plant things here. That’s great you had some time to yourself. I sent Marty this Dilbert today because since he works from home all the time I thought he’d identify with it since I’m home now.
@Tekate big hugs to you for what happened to you and I am so sorry things got personal in that thread. Most of those political threads are absolutely vicious.
I was at Sams Club right around 7. It was busy but not crazy crowded. I did get a big pack of Charmin TP. I also got a big pack of tissues, paper towels, napkins and assorted other things. They didn’t have any cleaning supplies at all. I got a large tenderloin roast; Marty will cut it in half tomorrow and cook one half and freeze the other one.
Our Omaha Steaks order showed up as well.
Take care.
Marcy

@marcy @Austina I meant to tell you that I received my Omaha Steak order a little over a week ago... Everything has been delicious! So far we had hamburgers, chicken fried steaks, apple tartlets, and potato Au Gratin which I think is really a croquett...I had one little boneless chicken breast tonight that didn’t have a piece of fat on it. I made my mom and David chicken with lemon and garlic yesterday. I don’t like chicken thighs because they are so fatty...My mom loves them so I made it for them. I will make sure I don’t approve a substitute for chicken when I do Instacart...I made my last batch of chicken thighs. They gross me out...I made a quick dinner for myself. I had frozen veggies which I halved with my mom. I browned my cut up chicken breast in Pam...then added the half bag of frozen veggies and a tablespoon of barbecue sauce because I didn’t have anything else. The light sauce from the veggies and the barbecue sauce made a great sauce that didn’t even taste like barbecue sauce. I’m going to make it again but put it over a little rice. It was yummmmmy!

GM ladies! It's Wonderful (I hope) Wednesday.
@Austina hope the weather continues to be sunny and nice. We had some storms pass through yesterday that were quite strong and a bit scary and I believe a number of homes lost power in Long Island and the Jersey shore. Covid 19 does not exist in a vacuum to be sure. Today we are off to see my endocrinologist and I am a bit apprehensive to go to the office. But hoping it is safe. Thank you for your continued good wishes. We are not sure of anything yet. To say life is uncertain these days is an understatement. One day at a time for us all. Keeping good thoughts for everyone. And hoping all is quiet and calm by you and sending you hugs and lots of love.
@AV_ you had me at plum vodka.
@canuk-gal yay for more cycling and hope that continues. What a lovely way to pass the days especially now. We won't know for sure re Tommy for a bit more time. I hope you don't mind but I don't want to go into details. I appreciate your support. How is your lovely family doing? (((Hugs))).
@Slick1 I have been thinking about you and sending you gentle {{{hugs}}}.
@Niffler75 glad the weather is cooperating and I am with you. Bring on the mild temps. Your wildflowers sound beautiful and how nice you were able to plant them. Hugs to all of you.
@Mamabean yes to Omaha steaks. We used to order those for my parents. It was always a hit. Hmmm I think it is time to get them again. Thanks for the idea! How is your DH doing? His patient? Did the test come back yet. I hope everyone is doing well. How is your fashionable mom doing? So pleased David enjoyed the birthday and cake and all. Yes Charlotte is a sweetheart. Really precious and we cannot wait to meet her. I cannot wait to hug her lots. (((Hugs))).
@marcy we used to give my dad Omaha steaks and he loved them. What a great idea and maybe we will send him some now if they are still shipping. Thanks for the idea. Hope you are enjoying them. Woohoo for Sams Club being relatively easy to navigate and fully stocked. Sweet. How is your arm/shoulder feeling today? LOL love the Dilbert comic. So funny.
@junebug17 hope the week is going smoothly and you are enjoying nice weather. We had some wicked storms here yesterday in the afternoon and it was a bit scary for a while. There were tornadoes in the area. Sending you hugs and well wishes. XO.
@Scandinavian hope all is going well and everyone is having a good week. XO.
@TechieTechie any updates re your niece and her ER? I am looking forward to seeing what she chooses. If she is interested in antiques I am ready to help any way I can. If only we could visit Adam right now I bet we could find the sweetest OEC/OMC. Hope Pumpkin and crew are all well. XO.
@bling_dream19 hope everything is continuing to go well and life is as sweet as possible. I am so glad you and your dh are enjoying long walks among the dogwoods. How beautiful. I can just imagine it. Hugs to you.
@Tekate hope you had a good day yesterday and sending you continued hugs and love and good thoughts. (((HUGS))).
@Jimmianne hope life is going smoothly and your beautiful garden growing. XO.
@Daisys and Diamonds hope you are doing OK Nicky and that Garry is well too and your furry babies are purring up a storm. Hugs.
@sarahb continued good wishes being sent your way. Hope all is well. Hugs.
@Keeliamira how are you doing? Hope the family is well and that all is going smoothly. Hugs.
@springerspaniel sending more good wishes and lots of hugs your way.
@Poodles4me keeping good thoughts for you and your family. XO.
Yesterday was a quiet day. We were inside all day as Greg had a long conference call and the weather wasn't nice. We played cards and had an early dinner. Exciting day lol but that's how I prefer it right now. Peaceful is good.
Today we are off to see my endocrinologist. I am a bit wary going to his office but I guess with the precautions we should be OK. I hope so. I was not keen on this visit but since it is necessary I am going and hoping for the best.
Have a lovely morning ladies and maybe I will check in later. XOXO.
Leaving you with Bobby and Gracie as the rain was pouring down yesterday afternoon. Look at the size difference between them.

Thank you @Niffler75 <3
Love the pig next to them!!!!
Ha, thank you @springerspaniel! I love pigs and have a huge collection. The pigs are all over our living room lol. I adore them. They are so smart and sweet in real life.
Back from the endocrinologist. It was surreal. Everyone was wearing masks and the waiting room chairs were only 4 spread out (small waiting room). We got there so fast. 22 minutes but parking was difficult due to all the doctors now parking on the streets. But we got in and it was quick. My endocrinologist is going to run the tests the rheumatologist wanted plus he gave me the 24 hour urine test collection jugs so I don't need to visit a medical lab to get one. I just need to drop it back off with the endocrinologist when I do it which won't be for a while as I have to d/c the Calcium the rheumatologist put me on before I can do the 24 hour urine test. Anyway it went OK though the endocrinologist thinks I need to decrease the cytomel despite still having low free T3 in my body. Because my liver enzymes are too high and it also makes osteoporosis worse. So we shall see what happens with this blood eval. He did say I might have to accept being low thyroid and a bit more tired for overall health...he also said I am still relatively young and healthy. LOL I hope so!
I took a sunrise photo as we were heading to the endocrinologist this AM. Just for you girls. Beauty amidst the urban noise all around.
Happy Earth Day girls!
and wearing Bubbalah for the first time in over a month I think!
The light early this AM cast a pretty blue hue over everything. I love early mornings.

@missy Overall sounds like a positive appointment. It's hard having to 'accept' the tiredness/fatigue as being a normal part of life. I understand that all too well. But there are strategies that help! I know I bang on about it but #selfcare is so very important!
Gorgeous photos by the way!

Thank you @Niffler75!
A couple of Bubbalah close ups as the morning light was changing (and the car moving)...sorry she isn't as clean as she could be because of all the alcohol and hand sanitizer action.
It feels so good to be wearing her!

@missy I’m so happy the visit went well...and that everyone was wearing masks....That’s too bad about having to stop the Cytomel...It’s amazing how a med can help one symptom but make another one worse...Hopefully they will work out what you can take that will help. I took Cytomel. It didn’t do anything for my exhaustion. I don’t know if it’s related but I take supplements for my heart. I take Pycnogenol 300 mg and Ubiquinol 300mg. I’ve been taking them for over a year and I noticed I have way more energy.
I’m so happy to see you wearing Bubbalah! She’s so gorgeous!
I just got good news! The man who was presumptive positive at my husband’s job tested negative!!! Yay!!

Thank you @missy! I’m so relieved! If the weather is nice this Saturday he will come and sit in the back yard again..The man is just a man that works for my husband..He isn’t a patient. My husband works for an industry. It’s essential but not asWOOHOO!!!! That is the best news I heard all day!!!! So happy your DH's patient is negative and now your DH is negative!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
essential as something as important as being a health care worker. I don’t even understand why he can’t work remotely but he’s stubborn. He says he has to be there.. :/
