Night for me too

Os it a horse or a hoark

Sharse.

Today was as bad as I thought, rain/snow/iceball mix until late afternoon. Wound up with boots coated 3" thick with soil more clay than dirt. Upside? We did well enough to try our certification tomorrow. If I pass I get to start getting my own assignments and can start working on my own.

Not me - behind all day with no sign I'll catch up.
I'm an hour behind my normal lunch break... and still have a full day's work to somehow cram into the last few hours after lunch. Phew!

Just so ya'll know... I'll be logging off pretty early today.
I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for an out of state road trip. Should be fun - except for all the driving.
I'll be back around next Wednesday (4/30).

Bon voyage

Well, we had an imaging appt this morning for Mom at 0800. We didn't make it. After I woke her up, she fell on her way to the bathroom. This is the second time she has fallen in a week.

She has deteriorated rapidly over the last three weeks. Tonight, we are discussing how to escalate her care and making an appointment to her GP to see if they want to reevaluate her level of care so we can upgrade her insurances coverage

I hate to say it, but I think we will move into a hospice situation. If not now, then soon. I'm glad I'm here for that but I'm sad to see it get to this point so rapidly.

Asking for good vibes, laughs and smiles. Anything sad I've already got in spades.

Sending positive transatlantic vibes your way

Doing very well! Thanks for asking! Hope everything is well you also!

She’s up and around on her own. Her PT says she’s a little behind on angle of bending but close enough she’s not too concerned. She’s hit or miss with exercising but can walk for short periods without a noticeable limp. If she’s on her feet long though, she’ll hobble. Still has some swelling and uses the “Iceman” machine every night. For those in the know…or those about to get a knee replacement…the Iceman is the best $100 you’ll ever spend.

Last couple of weeks have been crazy. Nurse maid to the wife, getting my mom’s house in order, work, concerts, Easter, fishing trip, work, planting, cleaning…I almost feel like Wonderer and Wat!

I”m going back to the “real” job to get some rest. IYKYK…

Some PNW MZ and a funny as bonus…

I'm so glad she's doing well. Encourage her to continue with her exercises. It might hurt now but will help immensely in the long run.

You said…

Yes, please! All of this!

 

[Lilianna23]

Work (easiest I've had in decades but pay is commiserate), and worrying about mom...as usual.

Did y'all know there are other forums here on lit?

Did y'all know none of them are nearly as friendly or interesting as this one?

Thanks Wonder.

This is the best thread!

Being over 50 I have decided to join this thread.

Not sure why that needed a fanfare though.

Hello, as you were

 

[Lilianna23]

I put them out with a for sale sign, and they'll be gone in an hour. And I'll be getting phone calls for a week!
By the time I'm moving them on, all I'm hoping for is someone to steal them but at least leave me the sign.

I was hoping someone would just take the damn thing and not make me work for them to do so!

Gorgeous!

Turns out the admins here run a kind of Facebook jail.


Hermit crabs are notorious for moving into empty shells.


They also get tossed out on their ears when the shell is wanted back . . . .

Welcome, HC!

 

[Lilianna23]

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well.

Wonderer keeps me up to speed. Hes good that way!

Good to see you here, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

I realise it’s not likely you will change at your age @Lilianna23 nor me at mine so I will take you as I find you! lol

At my AGE?!?

At MY age?!?????

 

[Lilianna23]

I wish it was treats like that! Sadly not just got at the managements eggs

Ooohh! That looks yummy!

I saw one like this in Lowe's. Problem is, it connects to a min 5 lb tank not a < 1 lb cannister.

Good morning early risers and evening to Lilli and our Aussie and Kiwi friends. Good afternoon to friends in Europe.

The taxi will be running today. The good news is my granddaughter is over the recent childhood virus but my partner’s granddaughter is coming down with it. Thus my partner was exposed yesterday and we do not see each other when that happens.

Sigh, little ones are virus factories.

Oh, no! Just when you were looking forward to seeing her again!

 

[Lilianna23]

Also one of my walking partners just tore her meniscus! I plan to deliver some food to her as she has trouble even walking around her house.

You're a rare one, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

Not so much until my junior and senior years in college. Gave it up when going to graduate school as was losing too much of my memory. Now it’s too complicated with all of my meds but it would be nice to inhale again!

I can't smoke now because of asthma. I do indulge in the occasional gummy.

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh! It is Wed. I was thinking it was Monday.

Too much weed?

 

[Lilianna23]

You should see what o find in the dryer lint catcher

Same, girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

She always insists on the 10 second hug!

Give her whatever she wants!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yes, nurse.

They are still sore, but she seemed to turn the corner yesterday and the day before. I was really worried for her there for a little while.

Glad she's better!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sorry! I went back a read it again. Yeah, she was just a sleepy head!

She went to a concert last night and stood for the whole thing. Didn’t complain, so I’m thinking she’s well on her way to recovery. I’m off to the friendly skies, so I might catch up on some rest!

Every one have a great HumpDay! I command it! Your MZ
