INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Oh Mags I am so sorry you are again dealing complications. I sure hope that the infection will heal quickly and you'll finally get your dental work completed. Thanks, I'll Kirbers you appreciate his July style.

Wren - It takes a special person to be able to care for animals who they know they'll have to part with. Even if it is to adoption. I would get too attached and not want to trust their care to someone else. Maybe a little selfish of me.

As you know, I flew to your area to pick Kirby up, but everything was covered in snow. I sure hope I get to see it again in warmer weather one day.

Queenie - Yes, I did get off the couch today. I went to see the new "Spider Man" movie with a friend. Celebrating with you on your NED!

Loverly - Thanks for the comment. Sweet looking has never entered my mind in relation to any pic of myself. I have ALWAYS hated being photographed, with the exception of one I had professionally done back in my late 20's. However, the one I posted did turn out ok. But since that pic I've had my hair cut and I am feeling much cooler. I was feeling kind of like the flying nun. My hair is straight as a board and when I get any length to it, I can only use a hairband to put it back. Now with some hair foam, a round brush and a blow drier I can get a little body in it.

Sas - How close are you to completion of your reno?

I saw this new Geico commercial earlier today and found it here on You Tube. So for your viewing pleasure I have posted it. It's titled "Running of the Bulldogs" Really cute I think.

Has anyone been to Norway to see the Northern lights.....or have any better recommendations?

Just got back from "bucket" to Paris and a wine tour on riverboat in Bordeaux. Too much, I'm glad to be home.

Maybe the trip for Northern lights, hopefully Hawaii again....our last trip there was such a bust with DIL having seizure and son having electrical shock... then that will be it for outside of Continental US. It is too hard to find bathrooms with the continual Herceptin diarrhea.....despite lots of lomotil. And just too tiring for me.

I'm still around, reading every night, just don't post much.

This last week has been one that my sleep suffered greatly all due to jerks in my area lighting off fireworks. Last Sunday wasn't so bad, the city did its annual fireworks display. Sat with a bunch of my neighbor's at a local park where you can get a good view of the fireworks. The display only went on for about a half hour, last year they were about 45 minutes. But the entertainment in the park before the fireworks was great. A local corporation sponsored the local symphony orchestra's performance. They played everything from Big Band music all the way up to the early 2000's.

June ended on a wild note here. Had a severe thunderstorm come through and it was so bad that I thought we were going to see a tornado from it. The winds were really bad, I was worried the tree in the backyard was going to either come down on the garage or fall into my garden. Lightning struck a tree a few houses down from me and went through the ground and caught their garage on fire. The garage received minor damage and as I was walking down the street the other day I saw how much damage the neighbor's tree took. The top off of the tree is missing leaves and most of the bark is completely gone and it looks like as the lightning struck the tree it spiraled down because there are huge gouges in it from the strike.

Poor Jackson was so scared and Princess went totally still when the incident with the neighbor's tree happened. She has never reacted like that before.

Made it!

A little something to start the week off right!

Off to MO for follow-up. Curious as to how the scans from my MRI two weeks ago will compare to CTs last month. Hoping I get Queenie's results someday soon! Hmmm...wonder if it was something in those worms? Whatever it was, keep doing it! So happy for the Queen of NED 👸

Sensi - Wow! Incredible pics. You look so serene with your Mona Lisa smile. Sunset? Sunrise? Not real familiar with the latter. Up or down that shot is perfect! Sassy's right; definatley need to frame those. Have fun! 🍹

Loverly ~ Keep thinking of the kindness DD2 showed toward your waiter on the cruise. You are truly a family of Loverlies 💕

Sassy ~ Your bathroom is going to be so gorgeous when it's done! Love art deco. You are creating a "masterpiece"! Ah, dog falls. Know them well. This is what I have to navigate......I'm in the doorway leading from the bedroom. Marti is parked in front of the door to get to the loo. In front of her is the narrow hallway to the rest of the house. Stubborn old lady will never move...........

Wenchie ~ possums.....ewwwwwww. Be careful with those marshellows . Don't want to end up like the thing below. That woman was at an adoption event we were at a few years back. Carried that thing all around like a baby... Uck

Wren ~ "Squeakers the Whale" 🐱

M0mmy ~ I was thinking of you on the 4th. Glad you had a nice time at the park. Grrrr for the neighbors. We had some idjits lighting them off in our neighborhood too. 😡

JinieB ~ Love the hairdo! do you have it pulled up? Love your wispy bangs too. And Kirby 💞

Feline ~ Good afternoon? Purrrfect kitty meme! 😸

Gotta run....... Happy Monday and (((hugs))) to all!

M0mmy - We also have morons (red necks maybe, as this is Kentucky), still shooting off fireworks. Love the photo. Man and horse - would like to ride! What a handsome lady dog, too.

I think you can also see northern lights in Canada. I've seen photos of awesome displays.

Will happily share my NED vibes with whomever needs them. (I think Mr. Navy Veteran's PTSD phantasms completely short circuited mine.)

Oh shoot!!! Put the wet phone (well dry it first) in a bag of rice. Hope u can recover it. Kids told me it might work
