how about drinking?

BabyGirl, that's a pretty ride as well.
Jazzy, you have some cool names for your rides.
Our vehicles don't have "nice" names. My yellow FJ often gets called Big Bird , banana or The short bus. Our blue truck, which is a 2000 is Old Blue. I think if/when we get a new ride, I want a red one. Considering a Ford Bronco, but need to see one in person and see how it would drive on our road. Our truck is a super rough ride on our road, the FJ rides pretty good on it.
Hopefully Sadie will be able to get up into the new ride and that the ramp will be useful. I think you said she finally used her new bed?
Friends came yesterday to get the start of the ramp going. DH just sat on the porch and watched, I went about my usual stuff. I walked by him at one point and he just handed me his glass and asked if I would get him more water. REALLY? You can't get up and get your own? He did that to me twice. I made burgers for everyone and fixed his plate for him. Of course it would have been a tight squeeze with his walker to try and do that on our little enclosed porch. I'm praying for lots of patience!!!! As I don't see him trying to help himself and I can't make him. If it were me, I would be doing as much as I could by myself and for myself. He got up once in over 5 hours and that was to pee.

Good morning! Stayed home yesterday and waited for the rain to come. It did finally rain, but not near the 2-3 inches that were predicted. DH got to watch his car races while I sat on the couch and read my book. Here is a question for you thinkers and smart people. Probably back in January, I started having pain in my ass. I think I have mentioned this before. Last week I planted flowers in 5 pots around the house. Since then, my ass is killing me! Now my calves are also aching and walking or sitting is painful. I did some Internet searching and have settled on damage being done to my periformus muscle or sciatica. Yesterday I took two Aleve for the pain. It hardly touched it. Is there anything else I can do? I did roll on a ball yesterday (no longer have any pool noodles!). Does this pain last forever? Should I stop walking? Should I sit on a heating pad?
DH goes to his first Physical Therapy session on Monday. I do hope it helps his neck. He fell asleep sitting up yesterday while “watching” the car race. Much complaining once he woke up. He then went to the spa for an hour and felt better. There has to be something he can do to stop or tamp down the pain. I agree with ChiSandy that this part of being older is for the birds and I would like to think we can get through it. He takes magnesium, eats bananas and dreams of being able to hold his head up.
Goodness! I am a bit “bitchy” this morning. I do have a few chores today. Ziggy comes back tomorrow. I do plan on going to the country to visit my one friend. We are both vaccinated and she found out she will be a grandmother soon. There is some good news in the world. So very sorry for those with much worse issues than mine.
Take care!

Goldie, the bronco and 4runner we’re my top 3 considerations. The bronco looks great but it didn’t have enough guts for me with only a 2.7 liter engine and it looks like they won’t be available to purchase for another 6 months to a year, which was ultimately the deal breaker for me, sure is pretty though.

Jazzy! Those are beautiful pictures! A perfect spot for a chocolate coke!

Jazzy,
Such lovely wisteria blooms.
Chevy,
I never had a chocolate coke!

Beaver I am so so sorry to hear about ur son. At least they have come a long way in treatment and those 2 hospitals are known for their dealing with that disease. Prayers are being sent for ur son and family. And I know this will be a very difficult time for all of u. Big <<<HUGS>>> and a happy well treatment.

Hey Chevy remember when we coined the word "chicks" for all the world with our pole. I know what that pic meant but no one else did.
Kim beautiful car and what is the official name u never said, did u??? Like Lori I had a yellow car people called it all kinds of names but I preferred Canary Diamond instead remember Elizabeth Taylor's ring. having some kind of choice he shChevy would one of "her" people gave her one, I never had the guts til now to tell her it was fake. just like some ofbu her body parts. Anyway like I said Pearl served u well so now we say adiou to something special, that cracks me up Sadie didn't get into it but maybe she preferred not to yet. It's not Pearl and she knows it.
Sandy u seem to be more busy with zooms lately so things must be picking up. BTW u have low miliage on ur car but I still beat u/ I sold my car that was 22 yrs old with original miles of 32,000 miles. well I told u gals I never liked to drive far and I didn't.
Lori u have a hard roll ahead of u for sure. It's bad enough now. Is this wheelchair a forever thing or for now, if ur DH excercises and does work not to be in one. I don't understand. If he has a chance not to be in one u have a tough job on ur hands to get him to push that restart button I know it's not easily done but he has to try as long as he can. This is just getting harder and harder for u too and even if u were 100% well it would still be hard and now it's got to be harder I'm so sorry. My Dr. has asked me 2x if I wanted something for medicare for a wheelchair and so far I just can't of course I look like a scary old lady with a crooked back and slow but I don't care, knowing my family they'd leave me somewhere with my face against a wall.
BTW JC u never sound crabby to me, u always seem sunshiny.
Teka u never tell us just how ur doing. So just how are u doing.
Jazzy sounding a little rocky with ur job, but u always know how to handle these things U r a pro have been for quite a while so just go with ur gut and u'll be fine.
Ok I'm closing up for now hope everyone is doing OK for Monday.
And Beaver continue letting us know exactly what's happening with ur son.
LUBS U ALL

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey day! Looks like I never posted yesterday. I jumped right into working on the paper due for class this week, thinking it would only take a couple of hours, it wound up taking all day. But it's done and submitted, so now it's time to look at the reading for this week and see what the discussion question and assignment is. I kind of hope it's another PowerPoint presentation, I really like playing with PowerPoint.
I've got to admit I'm liking the look of the new Jeep in the dooryard. So pretty!
Sadie says Hi to everyone!
Illi--your's is very pretty, too! Going from a 2009 to a 2020 you must have had the same experience with all the additional tech and power this and power that!
Beaver--seems blue is a popular car color here in the HTL!
Chi--I will give the screen a chance, I know I just need to get used to it. So far I haven't found the GPS feature, though. That is something I use on a regular basis, or would if my phone had coverage where I work. I never even thought about the mileage thing. Well, can't be too different from Pearls.
Jazzy--Good for you for focusing on what you can control, and riding out what you can't. Not getting caught up in office politics makes for a more peaceful work life. It's good that management is paying attention. Sometimes it seems like it takes an awful lot to get management's attention, though. I've got to find the ramp I bought for Sadie and figure out how to use it with Sapphire very soon. It's almost swimming in the lake time again. Sadie's already been in the wading pool now that it's thawed out. I've got to get that cleaned out ASAP. She came in smelling like wet doggo and wet leaves!
Chi--you have no idea how lucky you are! Around here Subaru means "Should Urgently Begin All Repairs Uneeded" !
Illi--Having texts read aloud would be useful. I'll have to see if Sapphire can do that. I wonder if she can take dictation for texts? Another thing to check out.
Morning, Karen, and thank you!
Goldie--yup, Sadie did use the new bed, once so far. She pulled the center out and was curled up in the middle with her head on the bolster edge. I put the center back in, she promptly pulled it out, so it's now on my bed and I'm using it when I sit up in bed reading! Very comfy! After a bit, when ithas my scent on it really well, I'll put it back in the bed and see what happens. People do react differently to life-altering diagnoses. Patience and self care are going to be huge in your future.
Librarian--can you describe exactly where the Pain in the A$ is, and describe what it feels like? Pain in that area can be muscular or nerve related, the location and description often help identify the cause. Knowing the cause is the first step in finding an answer. The calves aching sounds more like muscles complaining about doing something a little different, like planting the pots, and should only last a few days at most. Heat should make the calves feel better. Congrats to the friend who is going to be a grandmother!
Jazzy--I saw that on FB, too funny!Oh my, how beautiful the flowers! Is that Wisteria?
Morning, Chevy!
Morning, Teka!
Cammy Cat--the new car seems to have assumed the name of Sapphire. The color is listed as Patriot Blue and I considered Patty, but I have a friend who goes by Patty and that would get too confusing. Then Goldie came up with Sapphire Sophie. Have you looked at some of the fancy walkers that are out there now? Rollators are walkers that have wheels and a seat, so you can sit and rest whenyou need to. Usually have a basked under the seat for carrying stuff around. They usually fold up and fit in a car trunk and are lightweight and easy to manage. You might want to at least look at that option. It would be something your family could pop in the car when you go out, and have it if you need it.

Morning - Been up for an hour and on the Cubii for 53 minutes - made my tea, looking a work emails, logging exercise for the past 2 weeks for a work "contest" - enjoyed reading outside in the sun on Saturday - yesterday afternoon and evening was spent on my OEY evaluation - writing reflections, adding artifacts and doing my self-appraisal. I lost track of how many hours I actually spent on it. going to take one last look this morning at my self-appraisal to be sure it make sense, no weird sentences or spelling and then will lock it,
Have a great Monday

It's Monday, I'm going to be swamped!
BabyGirl, I didn't realize the Bronco's weren't available yet. Of course my FJ is a Toyota, but DH is a Ford man. I like the Chevy Blazer, but he says a Chevy is not allowed in our driveway. But since he won't be around, I should get what I want.
I'm so sick of his negative comments. If he ends up living another 4+ years, it's going to be a miserable life...for both of us!
NM, I certainly didn't mean to name your car for you. I just thought since you had Pearl, Saphire or just Sophia would be cute. I guess you could call it George, for George Washington, or Abe....LOL. LOL at S U B A R U, we always said FORD was Found On Road Dead. Never heard of dooryard. I have Siri as an English woman on my phone, and instead of saying parking lot, she says car park. It will be interesting if Sadie accepts that center piece after it has your smell on it. So you betting not get to liking it too much.
Cami, he will lose almost all muscle, including the ability to possibly breath and eat. So he would have a feeding tubing and be on a resperator. We have 2 of those walkers with wheels on them, they are quite handy. One out in the warehouse and one in the house. Medicare should pay for one for you, but if not, they are not that expensive. $60 and up. You might get a nicer one for around $100. And they are pretty light, I have no trouble at all getting it in my car. DRIVE is a pretty popular brand.
Beautiful sitting area Jazzy, did you visit there?
JCS, I hope your DH can find some relief for his neck.
Cami, I think you would like one of these, I really do.

Just a quick pop in before I head to one of the clinics for go live support. Those flowers are indeed wisteria and located a lovely place called Old Town Farms in Albuquerque. They grow all kinds of flowers and veggies for sale in the summer, and that is a lovely sitting area for visitors. I did not sit in the gazebo, I was there for outdoor yoga yesterday and stopped by to see music friends playing there too. It's my Sunday morning go to place this time of the year.
Gotta get to my week, it's gonna be crazy but I had a good weekend seeing folks and getting things done so that helps! Will be back again next weekend!

Cami,

Good Morning, Loungettes! Yesterday was a pretty typical Monday-after-break day. Lots of tummy aches from not enough sleep the night before. Some diarrhea from the room that was doing the required testing. And 4 ticks found just for variety. 3 on one student, two of them found crawling around INSIDE the jacket!
This is what I saw when I heaved myself out of bed and turned around to make it up. Needless to say, the bed still isn't made up, but I can do that when I go in to get dressed for work.
More Belly Rubs, Please?? Just 5 more?
Karen--Good idea to put some time between finishing a written project and proofreading it. I find some very odd things in my writing that way! I'm sure your eval will go well.
Goldie--Actually, you aren't the only person to suggest Sapphire as a name for the new car! A couple of friends mentioned Sapphire, and so she is named! My dogs and my cars all seem to name themselves, either through recommendations or it just happening. I like it that way! I've heard the FORD = Found On Road Dead, too. Dooryard is a Maine/New England term, I think. Other people call it a driveway.And, yes, that is exactly what I was trying to tell Cammy Cat about! Very useful gizmos.
Jazzy--beautiful Sunday ayem go-to place! Does wisteria smell as pretty as it looks? It makes me think it smells similar to Honeysuckle.
Teka--LOL!Look out world, here we come!

Kim - Sapphire is a perfect name - EOY turned in yesterday morning including self-appraisal - only found a couple errors - tomorrow is my meeting - my evaluator told me that I'm the first. She is a team mate but also a Team Lead - she is not my supervisor but we have a great working relationship. Of course I'm always nervous. She told me that she looked briefly at all my artifacts and everything looks good. We need to rate ourselves on a 4 point rubric - the top two are Meeting Expectations and Exceeding Expectations - I gave myself a couple Exceeding and the rest Meeting. It seems arrogant to do Exceeding on all. We didn't have end of the year last year - but two years ago, my manager gave me several Exceeding where I rated Meeting. Hope this will be the same. Usually we are evaluated on 2 parts - professionalism is 50% and then 50% for two objectives we write. This year we are only being evaluated on Professionalism.
Hadn't heard that about Ford - my husband has had Fords for years (company cars) and for the most part except for a Taurus in the late 1980s early 1990s they've been good cars. FIAT= Fix IT Again Tony!!!
The days keep getting busier and it is getting harder to keep work/home boundaries - last night I worked 7:30-9pm to finish up what I didn't do during the day - but I did take some time during the day to do some "home" stuff that needed to get done. The next couple weeks are going to be busy, busy, busy but then hopefully things will calm down the last couple weeks of the year!
Have a great Tuesday.

Jazzy, enjoy your week.
Teka, I want to be motivated like that! I need a do nothing day, but just not happening right now.
NM, I figured the term was a Maine thing. Yes, driveway it is. Funny that others thought of Saphire too. Miss Sadie, or shoule I say Silly Sadie, looks quite comfy. DH could do without that walker. I wish his mom would get one, but she's too proud. Her RA is sooooo bad, her poor feet are a horrible mess and she's so fraile and fragile, she falls a lot. You can barely get her to use a cane. But right now she's in the hospital.
Karen, my FIL worked for Ford, so my DH gets that discount until both parents are deceased. I always just got a car because I liked it, period. Didn't matter the make. Never heard the FIAT thing.
Put out over 50 orders yesterday, we busted butt! Today is PT/OT. I don't understand how doing this once a week does a darn thing. He doesn't do anything at home except sit and bend this thing he bought for $20.00. Appt. not until 1, so I have a few hours at home to get more orders done before it's time to leave at noon.

Update on our son: the diagnosis appears to be a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, one with a poor prognosis. There is a possibility of trying a drug which is showing success with ALL that might offer at least remission if not a cure. Taking it day by day...
-
I was just informed that my situation (health) is not as bad as his. Because it hasn't debilitated me in any way.....yet! Nevermind that I've been dealing with this for 13 years, needle biopsies, lumpectomy, bone biopsies, chemo, radiation, all the SE's from the different drugs I've been on. Been a walk in the park I say!
-
Goldie, I don’t know how in the world you haven’t thrown a cup at his head yet, out of frustration of course. You likely haven’t been “debilitated” because you won’t allow yourself to be. Now, I’m not man-bashing at all but I’m honestly so thankful that I’m the one with cancer vs DH. I love the man but like many men, they have the physical strength but really lack the mental resilience needed to live the life we do, with the attitude we do. All I can say is that I’m sorry, I’m sorry you’re going through this with him, sorry about your own health issues, sorry you have to work so hard with your business, just sorry.
FYI, if you got anything old or unusable that is breakable, take it outside and smash it up, it helps!
-
Beaver, prayers for remission or a cure! Hugs to my friend.
BabyGirl, if I break stuff, then I have to clean it up! I prefer the iron skillet! Today he was telling people at OT/PT he's going to Moab to look for a place to have his ashes spread! What the hell do you say to someone that says that???
You guys don't have to respond to me, I'm just ranting. And what better place to do it than here amongst good friends. I just laugh!
-
Goldie, please do rant here. You have to blow off some steam somewhere! You are truly in a very trying and difficult situation and need to let it out. I'm total agreement with Illimae, perhaps you can find a tin cup somewhere to use for target practice??
-
Beaver, does DH's head count for target practice.....LOL!
-
Lori - come here and rant all you went - sure DH head is good for target practice . Your plate is over flowing - my guess is that you always did the bulk of the work but now you have to take care of your DH as well. Wish I could do something to help....cookies? Hugs to you my friend.
Beaver - hugs to you as well - wishing your son total remission.
-
Hi friends popping in to say hello.
Beaver I'm so sorry about your son and pray he'll beat the odds. Thinking of you.
Goldie....What Illi said!! I also have to agree with the resilience comment. I overheard my (also dearly loved) DH telling someone about his 2nd covid shot reaction. How he had it worse than me. Not a contest of course but we had the same fever/similar amount of time. Sigh. So rant away!
NM love your new car!! I need to start looking for one.
Cami your cat pictures are killing me! Keep 'em coming.
No DOTD for a few days because....for our anniversary weekend we went for a fancy 5 course dinner with a wine pairing for each! A 95 year old sherry blend topped off dessert. A real splurge we thoroughly enjoyed.
Wow this is long. 🙂 Have a great midweek.
-
Beaver,
I will keep you and your son close in my thoughts.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump day! Lots and lots of craziness going on, and most of it with the staff. Lots of them traveled, most within New England and so didn't need testing or quarantineon return, but getting sick with coughs, sneezing, runny noses, sore throats, fatigue, but it's all allergies, right? Yeah, probably, but the protocol still says 2 symptoms off the list (includes all of those) = quarantine x 10 days or until a negative test.State of Maine has removed the face covering mandate for all people outdoors, with the recommendation to wear a mask outside if in a crowd. Masks still required indoors when unable to stay more than 6 feet apart. According to the Maine CDC Director, we are safer now than a year ago. BUT--now there is a big push to do weekly pooled testing in the schools. Pooled testing means testing a group, usually a classroom, students + teachers/staff, combining them and processing as one test using a PCR test. When a pooled test comes up positive, everyone in that group is retested using a rapid antigen test to identify the positive individual to send home to isolate. Of course, the rest of the pool will have to go home to quarantine. Great idea, but has some issues. First, the rapid antigen test has not proven very accurate in people without symptoms. Second, the rapid antigen test has not been studied in children, so we don't know how effective it is. Third, canyou imagine lining up a classroom full of kindergarten kiddos and doing nasal swabs on each one once a week? Fourth, it's an optional/opt in program, guess who has to keep track of permission forms and refusals? Not to mention do all the tests and all the tracking. Not so bad for me with a school with somewhere around 60 students, but the middle school has a few hundred, my colleague there is always running her butt off just keeping up with what is already on our plates. Unless a lot of the money coming into the school systems is going to be used to make sure each school has its own full time nurse, with assistants or even a second nurse in bigger schools, I don't see this working very well. But, time will tell, I guess.
Karen--Yeah, Sapphire is working out very well for the new car. The nurses in my district are working on an evaluation form for the principals to use when evaluating us. It's really interesting to keep looking at the terminology and such from a non-nursing point of view! I'm with you on self-evals. Where is the line between honest self-eval and arrogance? I think we're pulling the self-eval part out of our process. Watch those boundaries, I can tell you from experience that is a very slippery slope!
Goldie--Yeah, it can be confusing, here in Maine a dooryard and a driveway are 2 different things. A dooryard is where you park your car near the house, often by a side or back door rather than the front door. A driveway is the travel lane from the road to the parking area. Unless you live "in town," then the driveway is the paved stretch from the road to along side the house, long enough for a couple of cars to park one in front of the other. If that area is not paved, it's a dooryard. Crazy, isn't it? You really did bust butt, putting out 50 orders! I'm not sure what PT/OT can do on a once a week basis, but I guess it must be meeting some need DH has. Attention, mabye?
LOL @ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
Beaver--oh my goodness, what a turn of events. Praying for a miracle.
Goldie--WWHHAAATTTT??????????
Illi--good advice!
Reader--Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a great celebration. Sometimes a splurge is a good thing.
Morning, JHI!
Sadie's expression yesterday ayem after extra belly rubs:
-
Rained last evening and night and rain is in the forecast again today.
Have a great Wednesday.
