INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

And may I add, some linger.

You definitely don't fall in the quiet category.

and here's that cheesecake I promised you if I lived closer

Feline ~ I hadn't thought of how a piano would stay in tune out in the elements. You must be a musician? Such a talented lady you are! My BFF lives in Nashua, New Hampshire. The city started placing pianos in different spots around town last year. His wife will end up giving mini concerts whenever they come across one. I'll have to ask her about how the pianos are properly maintained outside.

Lookie ~ Thank you for asking about my eyes. They are so much better now! I can even read numbers again! I'm not cleared for driving yet.....hoping that will happen soon. How funny about your grandpuppy; we are babysitting our grandpup too! Ours is a Boston Terrier. Very friendly but not very bright. Your grand is a "real"dog and is quite lovely. Wanna trade?

JunieB ~ Big sigh of relief your boy is feeling better. If only they cold talk and tell us what is wrong

Loverly ~ (((hugs))) and prayers

Wishing all a restful night full of happy dreams 💕💤

Hi Shep,

not a musician just artsy, always hanging with the arts crowd. DD is a dancer and sings as well, DS used to sing in national children's choir (he's 21 now). Both did piano and gave up, in DD's case to concentrate on ballet. Worst thing for going out of tune, so I have heard, is the harp. It's said if you open a door a harp goes out of tune

Loverly, hoping your Dad is on the mend soon. Truly I think the biopsy is inevitable once any kind of symptoms present, even if physician is hopeful of NED Without biopsy they cannot determine whether cancer is present and IF present what grade the cancer is, grade determining the aggressiveness. If present initial staging will be attempted by scans. Prostate cancer grading and staging is actually quite different from BC. However I do hope that the tests will prove NED. XXX

Happy Birthday Sassy!

Heard about a birthday party over here! Happy Birthday Sassy!

Need more chocolates too........

Lookie - Really wonderful pictures, will have to put that on my "list". Is the piano always there?

Shep - Thanks, here I am. Thuy told me you were thinking about me during my scary testing time. I'm really glad to have a clear result but just now realizing how worried I've been all these years. Hope you are doing well and thank you again for your kind thoughts.

Bless You Dear Sassafras 💕

Almost forgot something else you adore.............

Sas,

*Sassy............Happy Birthday*

Last night I went outside to pick up the feral cat food dishes............ skunk.

I tip toed back inside and shut the doors and windows. ;o))

Husband and I going out for last lunch in July!

Smaarty - Yes, Kirby has gotten lighter. A Cairn Terriers coat color changes their entire life. All of the black that was on Kirby's muzzle & ear tips is now charcoal gray, plus the black tips on his back are also gone. He also had his first haircut a few weeks ago too which has made him appear even lighter.

We here in the NW we are experiencing a massive heat wave this week. 97 today, 102 tomorrow, 110 Wednesday, etc. Sunday is supposed to be still in the 90's, but if we survive this week, next week is supposed to be back down in the 80's. Much more tolerable. Weather like this is quite unusual for us and at least 50% of the population here does NOT have A/C. This is very distressing/dangerous for the elderly and the homeless in our area. Although Kirby will be a very unhappy pup, he isn't going with me this week either if I have to go anywhere. Don't want him to have heat stroke.

A couple weeks ago I posted that my latest CT showed a new spot on my left 5th rib. After nearly 2 weeks of phone calls by Palliative Care and myself, plus me calling the patient advocate and finally calling my MO to have her order a re-read, the tentative results are that they feel that it is a healing fracture and NOT a new met. Whew! Still waiting for last portion of results where they compare my last bone scan to this CT, just to verify. Man oh man!, was starting to feel like I'd need an act of Congress to get this done. However, at this point with the disarray our governmental houses are in, even that wouldn't have helped me.

So Miss Sassy, How was your Birthday? Did you enjoy your dinner?

Well that's all for now, I have paperwork I need to get to so I can submit it tomorrow, so good day for now ladies.

Loverly, I worked at a HMO that gave classes on treating elderly patients. The leader put popcorn kernels in their shoes, cotton in their ears, and made them wear smeary glasses. I imagine it encouraged them to be a little more understanding.
