Thanks bud! I think today is a waiting game. Get updates. Provide comfort and be an advocate.

Also bring my mom her newspaper and food. She didn’t eat yesterday cuz she was supposed to have surgery.

Advocacy is sometimes the most important bit.

Good morning . Another week of low activity and being home bound until the cloudiness in my eye clears. I need patience.

Beautiful weather today. I need to take a leisurely walk today.

Also learned my mother in law has entered hospice. I am feeling for my step children as they have already lost their mom and grandpa within the last 2 years.

Sorry b2. This is tough news.

I hope you get outside and also continue to see and feel better!!

Happy Saturday!!! Sounds like we have a few Real World things going on here, so I'll extend you some of Wat's Best Wishes and will light the Josh (which actually is already burning). I was going to register a complaint about something I'm looking at, but it's so First World as not to merit mention in light of. Honestly, I'm glad that I can see the difference. It's in the being able to recognize it and to see and appreciate the difference.


I'm taking Mom to breakfast.


I need to write something, even if it sucks . . . .

Hope everyone has a nice weekend. I got to play hooky for the storm but back to work today. Airline up to the NE so joining our NE crew today. We had more rain yesterday than when the storm was passing through on Thursday?.

Hot and humid. Dog days of August. With that, let’s take a cool refreshing dip in the waters of Morning Z…

Morning all.

It’s my turn to sit with my mom in the ER. The surgery was supposed to be yeaterday and I can’t imagine it happening over the weekend.

She’s still in ER. These hospitals in NY are a shit show.

Talk to yaz later!

Thinking of you both! ER watch is no fun but much needed.

B2 - what a difficult time. Thoughts go out to your step-children and you.
Focus on your recovery & hope the walk goes well.

Was up early for a pit stop. Thought I'd check in for any update on @Wonderer67's mom.
Logged on to see it's 2 hrs earlier than originally thought. Going back to sleep for a bit before early morning errands. Hoping for a nap later.
Later, all

Well I am back.

Got a call 1/2 way there from my sister. My mom is scheduled for surgery at 930am.

So no need to go to the city. My sister or I will go later in the day.

Surprised they did surgery on the weekend.

Good luck! She’ll do fine! Prayers going out for a speedy recovery!

I'm glad they are taking care of it! I've been praying! I'm happy you both are there for her!

They do if'n it's serious. They'll bill the o/t to Medicare.

I couldn't be farther on the tea grid from @Greylag if I tried.
I'm a solid 1A with no milk or sugar. Anytime I did add them, I was still a 2B or 3B. I believe @Greylag said he was a 4C.

I prefer to put my loose tea in the pot, boil the water with my electric kettle, then pour the water into the pot. I place a strainer over my cup and pour the tea into my cup. If cleanup or tea strength is an issue then I use a tea strainer that goes into the pot so it can be removed once the tea is the desired strength and so clean up is easier, too.
But on-the-go, I use bags. A mix of commercial tea bags and tea bags that I hand fill with loose tea.

I am with you on the 1A but might add a touch of honey or bourbon on some days.

 

[Tweedledude]

Us, too! I would LOVE some rain! 🌧

Yes please let it rain.....

 

[drobert44]

Almost drowned in eastern Kansas 2 days ago; two counties away....not a drop.

 

[RoperTrace]

I'd be really happy with our normal drizzle! 🌧

Sunny and beautiful this morning, storms really cooled off our heat wave.

 

[drobert44]

In the 70's here, now I can bike anytime, not at 0700.

 

[cole4258]

Good morning !!! 87 and headed to 95 here today. Had to do my outside errands and exercise early

 

[Qky75]

Working around the dog is a neat little dance. I have to be on all fours which only makes her day. Ever try wrapping cables while getting a face bath?

I'm sure you're going to make sure she gets the best hun.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Dr. Tyler is fed. She didn't bring her cane. She did bring her phone. Wat settled for 1 outta 2.


Damned fine morning for biking.

I'm not sure if I ever included the landlady's Labs, but here they are. Beau is sitting and Daisy isn't:

I wasn't sure if they would either but added my prayers to the mix. Glad her injury is being addressed sooner rather than later - tends to lend itself to a better outcome IMO.
to you, mom, sisters, daughter... and anyone else there who needs them!! Rooting for you, Mom!!!

I am with you on the 1A but might had a touch of honey or bourbon on some days.

Had an uncle who did the honey as a natural option to refined sugar. I would buy him honey sticks every once in a while and later Honey On-the-go packs when they came out. Not everyone carries honey - home or shop/restaurant.
When I used to drink, I liked a good bourbon... but never in coffee. IDK why not. Never cared for booze in my coffee or tomato juice... now I can't tolerate booze or anything tomato... and my coffee is decaf. Ah well...

Another new Olympic Sport? I like it!

OMG - ADORABLE!!!

Hmm, I'll bet there's room on the rug for me to squeeze in there with them both... just for a bit of play and then a well-earned nap. I'd be gone by... say... Tuesday?? Wednesday at the latest.
