I should have known........a typical day for Kay is far from a typical day for me!! You amaze me! Bit I'm glad everything is oKAY!!

ah, Cousin Kell... that was the proud (credit-grabbing!) "editorial we" that I used above.

DH cooked dinner, and downloaded the movie (a geek-chef, oh MY, how did I get so lucky?)

and the nestboxes, all I did was HELP, he did the actual construction.

("It's Shayke 'n' Bayke, an' Ah hayalped!")



and he did all the driving for the feed run too, I was just a passenger, along for the ride (oooh, he's a chauffeur too, hooray!).

however, I DID spend an hour picking through the veggie-basura (garbage), and sorting it into 50 lb sacks... thankfully, the Mennonites are kind, and provide a chair for me while I work over their produce-room wheelbarrows.

I did that while DH shopped, as I have difficulty standing and walking around stores for more than about 10 minutes.

and the insight-sharing with the new immigrants was all done while ensconced comfortably in well-padded bamboo chairs, sipping iced limonade...



I also did the cage-cleaning, and guinea-pig shuffling, as DH doesn't know who's who, and hilariously thinks the embarazada ladies are just a wee bit corpulent...



I do the cage-cleaning perched on a barstool, and fill a wheelbarrow, which he trundles over to the composting hutch.

we make a good team... I turn the empty feed bins sideways, and when I come back, they're magically filled with corn, pellets, and grains...

it's the ideal relationship for me, think of me as a movie director sitting in a chair, being the decider... since our only income is my SSDI, I get to be gloriously in charge...

but didja notice, I get the *****-detail, and the garbage-sorting?



my cog-fog DID kick in yesterday, and DH has to go BACK to the Mennonite enclave this morning (he's leaving now) because I forgot the bunny pellets, and the measurements of the bodega mud-grate... AND forgot my to-do list, so we didn't pick up our 15 gallons of bottled drinking water, nor remember to stop at the doctor's office to check on the import status of the Baclofen.

but I'm sooooooooooooooooooo wiped out from yesterday, that I can't go today... my left leg is spazzing to beat the band, and my sinuses are full again (yuck!)

and Kell, remember, I can ONLY do that kind of long day during the winter... DH gets to go solo during the heat of spring.

Kay - Glad to hear you are ok. Thanks for posting. I figured you were just a busy bee (as usual). You amaze me too as well as inspire me to keep doing things as much as I can.

Renee - Saying some prayers for you that you are feeling better today.

Sarah - I am glad things went well at the smasher yesterday. I hope the dr can give you some answers today on the tests as well as give you something to help with whatever it is you have. Please update us after your appointment.

Kelly - Hope the weather starts being kinder to you. It could also be that you just had some sort of cold and you are just getting over it. Hoping your legs are better today.

Hi to everyone else. I hope you are all doing well.

Update: I have to get my geek on today. Last night my monitor decided to freak and go out. I checked all connections and still, nothing. Today I will be working on it to see if I can get it to work. If not, I am hoping my brother has an extra monitor I can use. (He is a computer geek and has spare parts laying around).

I am hoping that it is not the computer that's the problem. (Which I doubt as the darn thing was freaking out when the computer was off).

I hope I don't get any dictation as that would not be good. In addition, I was in the middle of printing the Christmas cards that artist wanted as well as my own. I really need to get it fixed.

Good morning!!

Renee.........I hope you feel better soon.

Kelly........sorry your legs are giving you trouble...maybe all the rain
is bugging them.

Kay.....Im glad you are just busy. We miss you when you are not here...
noone has the tales you do.

tricia........I hope that you get your computer fixed!! good luck!

Wiz....Hi.........

Sandy...thanks for the update on Renee.

Weav...........its nice to "see" you so happy!!!!


Frank and deb, debd, barb, Vonn, fin, and all, have a wonderful weekend!!!!!


MY UPDATE: weather is awful here, its now raining but we had ice
overnight. So Im working on more cookies today. This weekend is
jampacked full....

We have sports, gotta get a tree and decorate , and Sunday is pierogi
day. My db and parents are coming over and we are going to have
a pierogi production party!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

s to everyone!!!!!

Thanks again for all the congrats on my new job. I'm still wearing yesterday's silly grin. Even DH's wrath last night due to fetching the buried Christmas decor in the attic couldn't wipe away the grin. And believe me he tried really hard to do just that.

So after too many years of not using it I finally have the big tree up again. Boy did I ever miss that beauty. Eight or so feet of lush greenery wrapped in hundreds of clear lights, draped with lots of iridescent clear bead garland, sprinkled with white crocheted snowflakes, and a white snow angel perched on top. Today I'll put the medium tree up, find places for the greenery garland I got years ago and never had a clean enough house to use (till now), and add the greenery swags to my outdoor decor.

Housework awaits as always. Gentle healing hugs to those not feeling good today.

Aren't computer geeks great? LOL, I am biased since I married one.

Morning all. Trying to wake up, sipping my coffee. So far the plans are to slow cook a roast, and take a nap if I need to a little later on. Gotta get my game on for the preview show tonight, so will listen and not push (like I did yesterday, lol).

I like my GI doc so far. I had a cog fog at the office (they gave me a lot of stuff to bring home), and I accidentally left the prescription of an anti-spasmatic med she had prescribed for me. Unlike any other office, which would've called and asked me to come back in to pick it up, Got it in the mail. I looked at it and went "d'oh"

~~~~~~~~

Renee, hope you feel better soon.

Sandy, Barb, and Frank & Deb, Thanks for the holiday cards.

Kay, my geek chef has taken over the holiday menu. I'm in charge of the sweets, but other than that - he has declared the kitchen his for the holiday. Kinda neat to see since he is good at cooking. learned from his mom.

Glad to hear you're doing well, and so are your animals. too cool to hear that the animals are thriving.

Trish, hope you can either get monitor fixed or replaced soon.

Sarah, glad the test didn't go too badly. Hope the results come out good.

Everyone,

TGIF! IT IS THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!! I am sitting in my office listening to XMAS carols and working on my course syllabi for next semester. We got a light dusting of snow so it looks pretty. We have a department potluck at noon, and then I have a meeting at 2:00. Can you believe the Dean scheduled a meeting on the last day of classes? I guess I shouldn't skip that one.

Renee , Sending out prayers that you recover quickly.

Kelly, This weather is making my leg stiffer too.

Kay, Glad you are ok.

Where's Frank?

Debbie D, I read your other thread about copaxone and "witchiness." Hope you are feeling better soon. I would guess it is the 'roids causing your grouchiness. Are you getting enough sleep?

Hi to everyone else! Hope you have a good weekend!

Good morning Insights! I am in limbo mode waiting for the rest of my gifts to come in to wrap. That's the only downfall of online shopping; waiting for the items to come to you. No instant gratification but still the easiest way to shop!

I am going to finish painting the downstairs basement and getting it ready. Then call those contractors and mobility people to send the darn quotes already. Sheesh, I think the fact we're getting some money to help with the cost is making them slack a little.

Have a good day everyone and I'll see you later today.
