HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Everyone have a serene and joyful week!
Morning all: Daughter and dog departed at 5:30 this morning; not sure how far she'll drive today... Second load of laundry already in with towels next and vacuum cleaner lurking in the closet for a zoom around the house later.
Lynette: Sympathies for the down-under problem. Very uncomfortable! Do hope things have settled down after hospital visit.
Lindybird: Common sense has prevailed? Yay! So unusual these days. :-)
Heather: Glad your son is improving on health and weight fronts.
OG: Why are men so clueless about birthdays? Anyway, do you have something special on the menu for J? Can't help with those round veggies unfortunately....
AQ: Can I send OH to join you in your 15 minute walks? He's getting a bit shuffly. Speaking of which, I was reading The Madhouse at the End of the World (early Antarctic exploration saga) in which the author referred to "a waddle of penguins." :-)) So apt. Also read Brain on Fire by NY Post reporter Susannah Cahalan and am now reading You Should Have Known on which the movie "The Undoing" (with Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman) was based . I'm more than halfway through the book and the villain has yet to show up in person so whoever turned it into a screenplay had to invent pretty much all of Hugh's dialog.
Glad various dogs are doing well.
Something has just dinged in the laundry department so off to see what needs attention.
I have always been responsible for all birthday cards, anniversaries, congrats and Christmas from this house. Only exception of course, being cards which are addressed to me. And woe betide if that's forgotten - although I don't think it ever has been. :-) Bonnie and my OH now back from the Vets: at least she's had her jabs now.. Advice asked for on her paw which is still trying to heal up. It's only a very small mark on one corner of her pad, but it keeps looking sore as occasionally she's been able to lick it. Not a lot of new advice given except to keep her away from it. If we cover it up it takes longer to heal up. If we put her in a cone she looks most uncomfortable, and bangs into every object in the room, including the door frames.
Just a thought
Hope is a beautiful thing. It gives us peace and strength, and keeps us going when all seems lost. (Julie Donner Andersen)
