Spectacular news @mrs-b!!
My niece got an Air Tumbler Track for her birthday. She is into gymnastics etc.
Hello lovelies
I hope your appt went really well today @mrs-b and that you’ve got a date for your surgery. Woohoo, great news about Tim’s job, one less worry for now. In answer to your question, no we didn’t do anything for VD, we rarely do How fun to have a trip to Hawaii to look forward to. We went there 39 years ago when I was pregnant with Adam.
What great photos @junebug17, not quite beach weather here, but we’ve had some lovely warm days, interspersed with some cold miserable days.
We did meet the neighbours to the left of us @MamaBee, and would you believe they’re also English, though from a very different part of the country to us. I hope you can see your Mum soon, I know it’s a worry that there are covid cases there, but you’re doing all you can to keep her safe.
I’m so sorry that your Mum and step-father are having so many health issues @Calliecake, it’s such a worry for you.
So glad you got to catch up with your friend @canuk-gal and drool over her VCA.
5am @marcy You’ve got to knock that habit in to touch immediately! No wonder you were tired by early afternoon. The hat has come out great and is expertly modelled by the bear.
What a cute photo of you and your sister @missy, nice to have the happy childhood memories to look back on. I’m so pleased to hear your telemedicine call went so well. What a change to have someone spend the time and listen to your concerns. I hope something good comes of it and you can move forward and get the insurance co. to approve the drugs you need.
How’s the pupster now @springerspaniel, all recovered from his misadventure?
Any projects on the go @bling_dream19 ?
We’ve had a busy few days. We had an email on Tuesday morning to say the site manager had spoken to the window people, and the windows were going to be fitted on Tuesday. We went up to see the house on Tuesday, and you’ve guessed, no windows What we did notice was that one of the 3 high level windows in the master bathroom had been enlarged.
We went to Ikea yesterday, just for something to do, and I managed to get us there and back
Late yesterday evening we had another email to say the windows were being fitted, so after lunch we went up to the house again, and hallelujah, we’ve got windows, not all of them, but most of them. 2 of the big windows in the living room were missing, but there were windows everywhere else The house was also full of plasterboard (Sheetrock), so hopefully they’ll be getting on with that soon. At long last, some progress.
Big love and hugs to you all
@springerspaniel@MamaBee you remind me of when one of my previous dogs ate a long red thick string of yarn and...yup...I had to help it move along. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Freddie is as energetic as ever and appears much healthier. He had become dehydrated and bony and is now filling out. He is sharing the cone experience with us all, bonking us with it whenever he can. Thank goodness for pet insurance, by the way!
@missy I am grooving on all of your pictures, especially the seals. Sometimes I can see them up in Lubec ME but rarely in such abundance. We have several deer families that we follow in our backyard and our camera captured an owl mid-flight recently. All the best for Greg's US and hope you can get out for a walk this weekend after this latest storm.
I am so happy you are back @Tekate, matur-er than ever before! I wish I could meet you in person. You are so well-loved here, and I can tell you have a lot of love to give. The job I am leaving was such a deep and abiding part of my identity for 20 years that it feels painful to leave patients and their care to folks who clearly do not feel the same way about medicine that I do. On the other hand, it is liberating to finally put my family and myself first.
Hey @marcy people keep coming up to me and saying they have heard I am retiring. You make it sound so tempting! If only I hadn't been so profligate about jewelry.
Will come back to say more, but I need to get ready to finish out another week with people that treat patients like widgets and not people. Blech. Love to all from Freddie and Clyde!!
