@Missy…My niece sent me a few ER options last night. She really does to seem to prefer dark stones. Not my thing, but I need to put my personal preferences aside and find her the ring she loves. I’ll add the link to the ring she proposed on the main ER thread, but it’s a black oval diamond in a halo setting. Actually not bad looking Thanks for sharing the pictures of the kitties…so cute. And your Bubbalah…no words…it’s drop dead gorgeous.
Me, I'm still waiting for the fecal test results from the vet (whom I adore). I am concerned Pumpkin has hip issues (he is starting to bunny hop when he runs). Likely going to have to return for some xrays and if they show the hip abnormality that I see when he is running, we'll have to consider some Pumpkin behavior modification. And, he's getting me up at 5-5:30a with the sunrise. I really really really need to buy a doggy door....on my list for this weekend. Cannot continue to run on 6 hours of sleep with all this extra stress in my life right now.
Okay, hauling my butt to the park for a Pumpkin walk. Have a good day everyone.
@missy I should be ending today [03:33] but I must first ask: is Gracie that much smaller? If I could pick her from the picture, I would! [Bobby - could I lift him!] These two must be fun to be around for very different reasons.
I hope that the change in medication might let you sleep better, if anything [stress has wrecked my already shabby sleep habits & IDK to describe the effect]
@missy it sounds like the rheumatologist has some ideas for you and hope you find that perfect mix of meds and health. Oh no to bad storms yesterday. My arm isn’t as bad today as some, thank you. How are your sore spots? I hope everything is doing better. Sweet Bobby and Gracie are telling you it’s raining mom. Gorgeous sunrise photos and Bubbalah looks fabulous as always.
I had part of a mint go down the wrong pipe last night because I sneezed and coughed at the same time. It didn't turn our pretty; glad I hadn't eaten much for supper. I haven't eaten much today but Marty is grilling a tenderloin roast for us tonight; I plan on filling up on that and strawberries.
I made Marty a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies; must be the first time in my life I didn't eat any cookie dough or a warm cookie. I'll brew up chocolate chip for myself tomorrow.
HI:
NIRDI shout out!
@missy no probs. Hope he is OK.
@junebug17 hope the self isolation is going well. How is the weather there?
Didn't feel like cycling today just went for a walk. I've been having long phone discussions with my sisters, something we just don't do (we text) but we are all feeling the same and it is good to gab about nothing. We are all in health and hope to keep it that way.
cheers--Sharon
Evening everyone! How are you all faring? On a sliding scale of 0 being totally fed up through to 10 revelling in taking things a bit slower and chillaxing I veer between a 3 and 7 depending on what mood I wake up in!
Keeping things relaxed, getting out of the house daily without fail to exercise and good amounts of self care are helping. I have been making some changes to my diet and cutting back on sugar and this has been helping I think!
OK can I ask a really dumb question about sourcing a setting for my lab ruby. I was thinking about a temporary silver setting while I save up and design something special. It is a 11x11mm cushion. If I saw a claw prong setting that was say 10mm or 12mm would it cause great challenges getting it set? I know I need to think about the stone depth as well. Ta x
We’ve had a busy day, we’ve been out cleaning the windows, well, I’ve been cleaning the windows and Colin was cleaning the frames and soffits.
We had a delivery today from the Scottish butcher, some minced beef, some steaks, burgers, sausages, fish & chips and some lasagne. We had the lasagne this evening with salad, and it was really delicious. They’re pretty pricey, but who cares, we really enjoyed it.
Looks like tomorrow is going to be really summery, so I‘m going to tackle cleaning the inside of the windows.
How‘re all the other lovely NIRDI, hope you’re all having a good day and staying safe.
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 as
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.. :/
How are you doing and how is your week going? We had a lovely walk
@AV_ how are you doing friend? I'm sure you're eating delicious food and enjoying life, hugs.
@AV_ get to bed and get some sleep girl!
Dangle earrings Marcy! That is thrilling!! They will be beautiful. and I love you and Marty's story. Very romantic and it sounds like you both realized being together is all that matters.Hi NIRDI’s!
@AV_ you are a night owl. I hope you slept in.
@TechieTechie ouch; sorry to hear what happened to your knee. That is too bad the meniscus tear can’t be fixed. Hopefully the PT helps. Ribeyes sound delicious. The black diamonds I’ve seen are almost opaque but who knows how well they were cut. Your niece should definitely get what she likes though. I hate to hear Pumpkin has hip issues; I hope the vet can help. Definitely get a doggy door so you can sleep in.
@missy I hope your meds don’t make your sleep worse; you don’t generally get much sleep now. So both of our arm / shoulders are not right. Bummer. I am turning up the hot water in the shower when I’m finished and running it on my shoulder for a several minutes. I helps for a while. Lovely pictures from your walk.
@bling_dream19 yes my eye has stopped twitching and glad you enjoy wearing your pretty bling. Yes, I’ve been know to offer to clean my friends and family’s jewelry when they are visiting. Thanks, I’m mostly fine and Advil lessons the things talking to me.
@Scandinavian you can’t beat that view and a nice glass of wine.
@Austina I totally enjoyed your Colin tale; it was great. Marty was heading home to Maryland after getting out of the air force in California. His grandparents live here in town so he stopped to visit them. He planned on going to college. He ended up joining the Wyoming Army Guard and started school at our community college. I worked at a photo shop / camera store and he dropped off a roll of film to be processed. We had a help wanted sign so he applied. He ended up working with me in printing and inspecting photos. I had a party for people at work to watch the Holy Grail. After everyone left Marty and I talked for hours and after that we started hanging out then dating, somewhere in there I got him interested in astronomy. That summer when he went to annual guard training for 2 weeks we both realized wow I can’t stand being away from you. And so far we’ve lived happily ever after or as we usually put it I’ve been putting up with your crap. Woo hoo for a fruit and veggie delivery tomorrow.
I just ordered my dangle earrings. Here are the diamonds. I am excited.
I made chocolate chip cookies and only ate one. We didn't get the tenderloin roast cooked last night so we'll have that tonight. Marty sliced a few pieces off and just grilled them.
I lifted during my lunch. Woo hoo.
Take care
Marcy
