how about drinking?

Last night was too chilly to grill outdoors, so instead of cedar-planking the rest of the salmon I merely pan-seared it. Besides all the seltzers, the DOTD I had with it was Fess Parker (yeah, Davy Crockett) 2015 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir, which I Coravined. Yum!
Up to 80 right now, but nothing from the freezer defrosted--and Bob's not home yet, so I'll just make a salad & pasta primavera. Not sure what to drink with it other than seltzer, and a nice decaf cappuccino after.

illimae - That sounds like a fabulous trip for sure - New England area among my favorite places ever - growing up we spent almost every summer weekend in Vermont, then would venture to Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts for longer weekends and week long vacays, we all loved it very much! Glad your pain is minimal, once your routine get back it will hopefully disappear.
misty - you live in my other favorite place - Florida!! Hmmmm you can be whatever you want to be - a stalker, a troll or just yourself too, it is just nice to see that you are still keeping tabs on the thread.
chi - you always have such lovely meals and bevvies too, reading your posts often makes my tummy growl.
Well I am off to bed though the sun is still shining brightly at 9:11 p.m. go figure - that is Alberta. Cheers!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump Day!Yesterday's early ayem session went well.Sadie was not so happy with the change in routine, probably because I forgot to put her food down before I left! We have a routine, I get the coffee started, check the rain gauge, fill her dish, start my breakfast. Yesterday it was get up, get dressed, head out.So what did I see when I got home? Sadie's dish in the middle of the kitchen floor, surrounded by all the canned goods she had taken off the shelf in the pantry where her food and food dish are kept. Pretty clear message!
Cammy Cat--aw, I look forward to our pool dips and chats at the swim up bar! Alberta is near the west coast, so the smoke is coming a VERY long way! It seems to have cleared out quite a bit over the last couple of days, for which I am grateful. I've been putting the heater on the ayems for a little bit off and on too.Crazy for so late in the season! Isn't that Wish thing fun?
Janky--hooray for surviving the colonoscopy prep!And for the good results! Ooh, rhubub!I love rhubarb and strawberry/rhubarb pies!
Illi--I can't wait to see pics of your trip! I've often thought about going to see Martha's Vineyard and the Amity Island tour sounds like a blast!Jaws is just a classic movie, still makes me jump in places!
Misty--reading and not posting makes you another one of the Loungettes!Some are more active than others, that's all. Busy is good, right?
Chi--Fess Parker wine?What a riot!Sparkling Chardonnay sounds very yummy!

Janky glad your scope got a good report. I'm not at the beach or even planning to go, dang it. Someone asked about Myrtle Beach (Sandy?) and I was just chiming in.

Muddling - OOOPS sorry about that 'teaser' then! I mad a gluten free rhubarb crisp today and it was absolutely delicious! 3 childhood girlfriends drove up from the big city a couple of hours away and we enjoyed tea and crisp outside in the sun, so spirit raising,- laughing and sharing memories from long ago...
NM - Silly Sadie is certainly smart!! She keeps you on your toes for sure...
Chi - we are having spaghetti tomorrow night, Thirsty Thursday, as our 4 year old grandson is spending the day and loves my sauce - he was asking for it for breakfast Monday morning...green goddess salad would be a nice touch.
Hi there Jazzy, hope you are enjoying your break and not working too hard! Hello misty, mema, illi, goldie and cami - where are the kitties?! Stay well everyone Cheers!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday, and, for me, Payday! I am really liking this getting paid every week thing. Getting up to some more rain this ayem. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I could curl up and go back to sleep until the rain stops, the way Sadie does. Ah, the dog's life!
Morning Muddling!
Janky--Yup, Miss Sadie has me very well trained!

Mornin ladies, I didn't realize I missed some posts.
Going away sounds so good and boring sounds good too, means nothing is happening and we don't need crazzy things happening..
Misty u r a stalker and a troll, be proud.
Janky YAY it's over and good news. And the Drs. should be happy u r all pooped out.
Sandy u really even make leftovers sound yummy and I don't like fish.
Kim ur DOTD'S are actually getting better and better, looking so good. What can I say about Sadie. but U FORGOT TO FEED HER??? Oh I don't blame her, but again I LOL when she pulls her antics.
Oh I've been putting in my time to learn this new system. It even has sq. feet, a picture and how much the house is worth. Why I haven't a clue, But I still don't know what I'm doing and do it anyway. And then I had my gift card and shopping with WISH I put loads of things in my bag, then start weeding out cuz it's crazy, I guess u can call it my gardening. Then I go to another site. But I do buy what I need first from Walgreens. Then go crazy, the natural steps in shopping.
Wow 2 cups os coffee and I can go back to sleep and I haven't even taken my morphine yet. Of course this house is an annex to the hospital Leslie has a cast thing on her leg and Marty has severe Vertigo But this weekend Joey's going Downtown with a couple of friends and one set of parents to Navy Pier etc. staying there til Sunday. Good thing that kid saves his money for some real fun stuff.. He'll be out of school on Monday, then it's my turn.
Have a great Friday eve.

Colonoscopy turned out good. HAPPY DANCE. -
OH question ladies, I know someone will have n answer. OK u know about my SIL and now no one kows what to do with her. They lived in a 2 bedroom in a retirement type of home, but my brother took care of her. But now the home insisted she be evaluated to see where to place her but here diagnosis is not just dementia she's also psychotic and a danger to other people not so much to herself. Well the assisted living place doesn't want her there, where can she go from here.??? Any help would be appreciated my niece and nephews really don't have a clue.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! The weather here has finally turned, we're expecting an ENTIRE WEEKEND of good weather!Yeah! The gardens are doing really well. Need to spend some time and money on some new plots. I have got to get out and get moving more. Some of us cousins are planning a trip to Australia in 2022, and one of the planned activities is the Sydney Harbor Bridge tour.Actually, there are 2 tours, the full bridge and the half bridge. The full bridgetour is3 1/2 hours, 1,332 steps, 111 flights of stairs. The half bridge tour is 1 1/2 hours, 556 steps, 47 flights of stairs. I have committed to doing the half bridge, keeping the option open to do the full bridge. So, bad knees need stairs work, and fear of heights needs psychological work, and overall out of shape-ness needs serious work! But keep it hush, I haven't told Sadie yet. Got to find a really good doggy vacay resort for her. Gots plenty of time for research!
Morning, Cammy-Cat!Yeah, Iknow, I was a very bad Doggy Momma. My morning routine is so ingrained that I have a hard time when I have to change it. And it's ok, she took a couple cans of tuna off the pantry counter and ate those while I was at work. So she can feed herself if she wants!It is so easy to go crazy on that Wish site, isn't it? I love poking through there, almost as much as I like poking through yard sales and "antique" stores! Your poor household, so many hurting people!Glad Joey has a fun weekend planned.Oh, dear, what a situation your SIL is in. And the niece and nephews.Have one of them get in touch with the Assisted living place, find out if there is a social worker on staff. That person would be the best help.If the facility does not have a social worker, have them contact your SIL primary medical care provider's office, explain the situation, and ask for appropriate referrals and an evaluation to see if SIL is mentally capable of taking care of herself. Then they should contact their state's Department of Human Services for help. If they can't figure out how to contact the Dept. of Human Services (it may not have that exact name, but something similar), they can contact their state's organization for the protection of elders. The doctor's office can give them the phone number/e-mail address.IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NIECE AND NEPHEW MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOUR SIL CANNOT MOVE IN WITH THEM DUE TO THEIR FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THEIR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND NEIGHBORS.Once one of them even hints at letting SIL move in, the system will pretty much stop moving forward, cuz that's the cheapest solution for the state but it will leave them with a HUGE problem and possibly being held responsible for SIL's actions. The Assisted Living facility can't put her out onto the street, and when they realize that other family won't take her in they will access the system themselves.If her doc says she can make her own decisions, then I recommend your niece and nephew step back and let her do just that. If she is judged mentally incompetent, someone will be appointed her guardian and that person can then make the decisions and get her appropriately placed, with or without her consent. Tell your niece and nephew I am praying for them.

Mornin' ladies,
Oh Kim thank u so much especally since u went step by step I won't take credit for all of ur wisdom, I'm just happy I can give them some good advice to help them. U know as I said before she was never a nice person and those kids really had a rough time with her, so there is a probl.em of no real deep love there, but she does have to be taken care of decently somewhere. Leslie saif why don't they give her Haldal to keep her uiet, bjut that seems extreme to me, but I really don't know. Thanks so much. AUSTRALIA, oh what a trip that willbe. Is that the bridge that's so high it's recockulous. This is so exciting to look forward to. And boy if I could take Sadie I would love it. She is so fun.
I woke up this morning really thinking it was Sat. Took a little bit to figure it was Friday. Slept crazy last night. Oh well. Jodie's not coming for my shower Saturday but Les said she would help me, like I said I just need extra balance getting in and out.
Marty's vertigo has started easing up and he's feeling relieved, I don't blame him, it was pretty bad. And hopefully we'll have a quiet weekend sans Joey, I hate that but it's good for him. 1/2 day Monday a nd he's done.
Well as far as I can see the weather will be all right except lately it changes by the hour. So we'll see;

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to sunny Alberta here we are getting snowfall today!! In the mountain areas, about 1 1/2 hours west of me, there is blizzard like conditions going on, arghh, here in Innisfail it is dark, dreary and rainy, though we really, really need the rain.Take the good with the not so good indeed!
NM - that is great information for cami! I am glad your weather indicates a nice outdoorsy type of weekend for you and Sadie to enjoy, maybe get some yard sales under your belt...
cami - I do hope everyone starts feeling better, so very wearing on you and them for sure, hopefully tomorrow when it is Saturday, you can chill and enjoy for real
I am participating in a Garage Sale at our Seniors Center today at noon, but dont seem to have any energy going on, so hopefully it comes in soon so I can get moving. Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers!

Hello loungettes, I'M HOME! Only responding to a few. I have read everything and all, for the most part, looks like everyone is doing well. We had an awesome time camping with friends that met up with us there and then the friends that we know there. So much fun and laffing. DH really needed it. The friends we know there, well the husband Mike, likes to take pictures and has a good camera. They came by one morning and I was still in my PJ's, he had me post with Castle Rock in the distance, and even picked me some flowers. Oh my, did I feel silly! My phone got left in the truck, so I'll post the picture later. Took a gorgeous drive out to Gateway CO and saw a bear on the way back, a first for me.
Cami, replying to previous posts, you mentioned camping and that you preferred hotel, I can say the my DH prefers that too. Glamping! Sorry to hear there is so much drama going on with the passing of your brother.
Jazzy, glad to hear your eye is healing up. Again, I'm so glad it was just a wart.
Janky, ha ha! I see you perfer glamping as well.
NM, you make your own bug repellent? How so? OMG, that is just too funny about Sadie getting all the canned goods out, wanting her bowl filled. What a smart puppy!

Happy Saturday! Had a great time at the beach, then back to reality. The Neulasta med really hit me this time. My legs are very sore and makes walking difficult. Did have the PET scan yesterday. Will wait until Tuesday for results. Oncologist did a blood test for a tumor marker, CA12-3. Normal is 30 and mine was 41. Not sure what that means, but will ask when I meet with him on Tuesday.
Been raining here. We need it, but not inches in an hour. Will try to do some easy yard clean up this AM before the next round of showers. My helper is not coming due to the rain. Maybe tomorrow...
Have a great weekend

Mornin' ladies,
WOW Lori is back, I miss u so much but so glad to hear u had a great time LOLing that is the best thing u can do. So r u around here for a while now or going off somewhere else.
Now I'm missing Jazzy, she always perks thing up too.
JC u sound a little over tired. which is tough to take. I wish I had some good advice for u, but gardening is a great thing to do <from what I hear> My DD's love it so I know it must be satisfying, but this yr. Leslie hasn't done anything.
Kim u have time to do ur thing WITH SADIE I hope this weekend, whatever u do u'd better count on /sadie to tag along. I tell these stories and everyone wants to meet Sadie hahaha.
Has anyone heard from SusyQ, I think of her often. I talk to dara and she's doing kind of OK. Stupid threads coming out of her hole. The worst thing I had ever seem, except now I've seen it on Leslie, disgusting.
Mu puter skills for work are so lacking, I'm trying so hard. I get some of it no problem but I don't see where it's saved, but Matt in the office has seen it....I just don't think I'm saving all of the calls. It';s so frustrating to me cuz really I used to catch on easily now my brain just doesn't hold any info.
Well Joey left last night he already texted me a beautiful pic. of downtown from his room. Chicago does have a beautiful skyline and living here I forget.
OK great weekend for everyone.

Lurking today. Getting ready for family to come this week. Be back soon!
Cami- I am going to see Eddie Daniels, that clarinetist I shared videos about for Joey end of August. Probably going to get to meet him too. Can't wait!

The sunset is from our camp site as well. You can see Castle Rock in the distance of both pictures. This one is of Castle Rock from the other side, to far left is "The priest and nuns".

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Sadie and I had a lovely sleep in this ayem. It's a beautiful day here today, going to putter around outside this weekend. So nice to see the sun shining! Sadie has been out on the deck sunbathing. She comes in once in a while to rub her warm side on me.I've got to go out and join her soon!
Cammy Cat--Love the Dancing Kitties!It's really hard to get someone on Haldol these days. l. Something like Haldol can't be used to keep someone quiet, they have to have a diagnosis of psychosis and be under the treatment of a psychiatrist. In the past Haldol and other drugs have been misused to keep people quiet and make it easier to take care of them, so now there are rules and regulations to prevent that from happening, but makes it harder to take care of someone with a real problem.It seems so useless to me to have kids go to school for half a day on a Monday as the last day of the school year. I know schools have to have a certain number of days, but that just seems foolish! Glad to hear Marty's vertigo is easing up. That can't be fun.
Janky--talk about a late application of poor man's fertilizer!That's what we call late snows around here. This really is late in the season for blizzard conditions.Good luck with the garage sale!
Welcome Home, Goldie!! Sounds like you had a great trip, that is wonderful! Yes, I make bug repellent.I use witch hazel as a base, put a cup in a small spray bottle, add Tea Tree, Geranium, Lemon Eucalyptus, Lemon, Orange, Peppermint essential oils for bug and tick repelling, and then any other oils I want to make it smell good.Shake it up and spray it on me and Sadie and it works well!Not perfectly, maybe, but good enough to work outside and not get eaten by skeeters. Making sun block is even easier.I just add zinc oxide to any lotion (20% zinc oxide/80% lotion by weight makes about SPF 20 sun block), add a little carrot seed oil and red raspberry seed oil for a bit of additional protection, then add essential oils to make a fragrance I like (or omit if the lotion already is scented).Last year I made a batch of sunscreen and scented it with the bug repellent oils and made a reasonably decent smelling sunblock/bug repellent combo. Yes, it leaves a bit of the white color on my skin, but better that than imitating a fully cooked lobstah!
Librarian--sorry to hear the Neulasta is making you sore and achy. That cannot be any fun. Have you had any tumor markers drawn before to compare the 41 to? Do you know if it's going up or down or holding steady?
Cammy--the weekend will certainly be with Sadie, no matter what I end up doing! It must be frustrating to not catch on to new stuff as quickly as you used, but think how much you ARE getting!Not bad for someone born and raised before the computer age!I miss seeing Dara on her. Hope she's doing well.
Great pics, Goldie!
Afternoon, Jazzy!

Goldie - Loved the pictures! My son spent time in Tucson and went camping a lot. He also visited the national parks in Arizona and Utah on his way home. He really loves the scenery in the western deserts. I would love to visit there myself! Never been much of a camper, but would enjoy seeing the sights.
Camilegal - My back hurt some today as well as my legs. I walked three miles for exercise, then the woman came to trim my shrubbery. I worked outside “helping” her by dragging the clippings to the street. I am now worn out! But I cooked dinner and am enjoying a glassof Pinot Grigio.
Native - I had a discussion with my Oncologist about tumor markers. He is not in favor of them as it is an old technique and they can be misleading. I think this may be part of me wanting him to do something different with the treatment plan. I meet with him on Tuesday and have, as always, more questions!
Poured rain this afternoon. Tomorrow is supposed to be another stormy afternoon. I will probably take it pretty easy, but have to do a grocery run. Take care everyone!

Just checking in briefly here before I get up early and drive to Morris tomorrow to teach 2 workshops at a dulcimer festival...provided it doesn't get rained out again. I feel lousy (had a dizzy spell Mon. night, still fighting a viral sinus & inner ear infection and monster reflux--primary made me give up my PPI for Pepcid & Tums) but too late to cancel (besides, I was hired when another instructor got sick). Was so nervous yesterday I had a few extra systoles in my single-lead EKG. Bob says not a reason to go to the ER, but I have a bariatric consult at N.Shore (part of the cardio dept.) Mon., so maybe they'll do a 12-lead after the intake interview.
Went to the Cubs game yesterday, which was great...except after only 2 sips of water my esophagus felt like Mt. Vesuvius. Had to suck on Tums (can't chew 'em with Invisaligns in) as the hot dog & ice cream vendors passed me by. Went to late lunch after--only thing on the menu I could eat was a shrimp cocktail, hold the sauce; and my DOTD was flattened ginger ale through a straw. (My own silicone straw, as plastic straws are now illegal in Chi. and paper ones fall apart). Dinner was 2% milk, applesauce & 2 plain Italian cookies (not biscotti). Waited 3 hrs till bedtime, slept on 3 pillows, still woke up with GERD. Sigh.
Managed to hold down some oatmeal & half a cup of coffee this a.m., but from now on my only quaff is water (even seltzer might be irritating due to carbonation). Bob says my PPI (Dexilant) is necessary to keep erosions away and prevent esophageal cancer; but primary saw the same research article as I about long-term PPIs raising the risk of fatal heart attack, stomach cancer and kidney failure. (All in all, we all gotta go sometime--and I'd prefer a swift heart attack to a lingering esophageal cancer death. I lost an aunt to it, and I know only one long-term survivor).
Annual screening mammo Tues., and get aligners # 5,6,&7 at the orthodontist Wed. (hopefully, those will be all I need before switching to a retainer).

NM, I hope you were able to get out in the sunshine and enjoy with Ms. Sadie. You have had some horrible weather. You probably thought summer would never arrive, let alone spring.
Cami, glad you are able to keep in touch with Dara, sorry to hear she is struggling. I see Les and Marty were able to go out and have a date night, good for them!
JCS, we have hotels too! I love to go camping, but it's not in a tent. We have a kitchen, a grill, bathroom with shower, beds, couches that open into beds, etc. So not really all that bad. I insisted with my onc that we do TM's, which is how we found my stage IV, as I had no symptoms. It's only blood work, so I don't understand why they don't do it. This is YOUR body, he works for YOU. I say if you want TM's, then insist on it!
Sandy, sorry you are going through so much, my gosh. Wishing you some good health.
Worked outside a bit yesterday, until it got too hot, got up to 90! And I have a have a ton to do inside. Putting stuff away from camping and lots of cleaning.
-
Good Morning, Loungettes!Another beautiful day shaping up here. Sadie's already out on the deck sun bathing. She wanted to get up and get out into the sun at 5:30 ayem! I did convince her to let me sleep in until 6:30.Gotta love the pooch who has the priorities straight!
Librarian--Tumor markers are known to be a bit dicey to interpret, especially if they weren't tested before treatment started. Please keep in mind that the Onc works for YOU, not the other way around.The Onc's job is to give you information about treatments available, pros and cons of each, possible outcomes and possible complications so that YOU make an informed choice about what treatment you want. If you want something specific done, that is what should be done, unless it is clearly dangerous.If the Onc doesn't agree with YOUR plan, the Onc needs to either shut up and do it anyway, or refer you to an Onc who will. Out of curiosity, if the Onc doesn't favor them, why did he/she order them to be done?Sounds like you are keeping pretty busy despite being sore--Good for you!
Chi--I'm trying to stay off my PPI (prilosec) as it was causing diarrhea, but I'm about ready to live with the diarrhea if that's what it takes to stop the heartburn, especially at night. I've been on a PPI since 1995, so any damage is probably done already. And my father and his father died of stomach cancer. I'm not crazy about the idea of kidney failure, but a quick heart attack is a good way to leave this world, in my opinion.
Goldie--I did get out in the sun some yesterday, going to do so again today, too! Always a ton to do, isn't there?

NM, have you tried that Zypan? My DH was on Omeprazole for many years, switched to the Zypan, which is a supplement, and is doing great. Been on if for several years. Doesn't help everyone, but maybe worth a try?

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey Day!Sadie and I got a lot of stuff done around the house yesterday, and I am kind of feeling it this ayem! Not a bad thing, except for the skeeter bites and the big blister on one foot, though.Sadie did manage to get out while I was moving the lawn mower through the gate. Fortunately, she didn't go far and decided to get into the car pretty easily. She and I both slept pretty well last night.
Goldie--I have not tried Zypan.I will definitely look into it.Anything is worth a try at this point!
Jazzy--she is very nice to listen to!Thanks for sharing!
