Good morning, Danish and Donuts in the Break Room. Ana, prayers and Positive thoughts for your sister. I had a Wonderful vacation with my youngest son and his wife. Lunch, Hulu, and Hallmark with a friend today.

Welcome back Connie ... glad to hear you had a wonderful time ... they're keeping me busy at work

Morning everyone, this has been one crazy week for me. I posted we were selling our lake house... boy, there is a lot of paperwork associated with this. Thank heavens for this thing called Docusign that lets you log in and sign documents online. Between that and all the bids coming in it has been crazy. I never would have thought that the renting of a truck would end up being one of our biggest problems. UHaul sucks to say the least! We made reservations with them to rent a truck then proceeded to buy tickets to fly down. With everything set we get a call from UHaul stating that they no longer can get a truck for us and instead want to send boxes to us to fill and they would pick them up... no way would they be able to get those down our mountain driveway.. we said no we did not want to cancel.. they said they would try and get a truck.... 2 days later they called and said no they could not but we could use a truck and fill it and drive it to them and they would put the stuff into boxes and send the boxes to us> WHAT.. we can have a truck for a day only... this wouldn't work.... thank Heavens for PENKSE TRUCK Co. They have guaranteed us a truck!

Good grief! U Haul doesn't seem to want your business very badly! Glad you found an alternative. I was wondering how the sale was going to go. Around here, it's an extreme seller's market. Even in our small town, a house goes up for sale and there is a bidding war!

Yes, Drac it is a sellers market right now. We had amazing offers. We are pending right now. I hope all goes smoothly.

No jury duty for me tomorrow. I hope they lose my name for a couple of years. I am not feeling well today so I really don't know if I would have went anyway.

Yay!

same thing.

That's a relief.

Happy Monday everyone! I'm happy to say that after 10 days, my sister has turned the corner and is starting to feel better. She can now stay awake all day instead of sleeping which is a huge difference. She still gets exhausted after just feeding her cat and ferals and needs to rest, but sitting and watching tv or reading is better than completely zonked out. I'm so happy! Thank you so very much to all of you for the prayers and positive thoughts! I believe they all helped!

Winfrey, that's craziness! Glad you found a good moving company. My friend just moved and rented from Uhaul and they received a significantly smaller truck than they reserved. They had to get rid of stuff because there was no more time to wait. Ugh!

connie, welcome back!

be back...

Oh, thank heavens for your sister, Ana! I've checked in several times this evening hoping to see some good news!

That is good news Ana. I hope she continues to improve quickly!

Very good to hear, BrownEyedTigre

Thank goodness your sister is starting to improve, Ana. I was thinking about her.

Great news BrownEyedTiger, I hope she continues to improve and still more prayers and positive thoughts are on the way. Take care.

Winfrey , good luck with your moving, I hope all goes well the rest of the way.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Ana, Wonderful news your sister is feeling better.

Hello Boomers, hope you are all keeping well and safe!

Ana, that is great news about your sister! Will continue to pray for a complete reccovery.

Got a load of washing to attend to today. Oh, the joys!

Much love,

Mary

Terrific Tuesday ya'll

Ana, that is great news about your sister.

It's a beautiful day here. I've been busy and now am heading out for a gentle stroll around the neighborhood. Not sure why, but my hamstrings are sore, so won't run, just walk a bit.

Hope everyone has an amazing day!

Hello friends,

Haven't been here for a few days. Dealing with the boot on my left foot has been exhausting, specially since it tends to aggravate the pain in my right hip. Working with the velcro makes me cuss like crazy. I don't care cause there's no one else around. Yesterday got the results of abdominal CAT scan, which shows a small benign nodule protruding from my right kidney. Five years ago, I had to use a wheelchair for a month so I could stay off my left foot while it healed from a major break. It was nothing fancy. A simple borrowed, folding wheelchair that I borrowed and it met my needs. I'm not a physically strong person, never have been, and it took a lot to move myself in and out of the wheelchair. Hit myself numerous times, apparently bruising my right kidney. Cussed a lot then too. The CAT scan shows a small benign spot which, after talking with ortho yesterday and primary physician today, seems that the spot may be scar tissue from the bruise that is touching a nerve and that is causing the pain. Next step is physical therapy. The hope is the PT will identify the problem area and help my body learn to avoid it. So I feel a bit better now that things are starting to make sense.

Last few weeks, while getting used to the boot and knowing it has to come off while driving, some friends have provided transport to doc appts. They were more than willing, but it was humbling to have to ask. Once I had an early appt, so used a cab. Tried to get a cab again after appt. I was surprised to find the call was voice activated. The system correctly repeated the pick up address, than asked where exactly at the building the cab was to go. When I said 'entrance', the system asked to choose from a list of addresses, none of which were what I had originally said. I called several times, each time was worse. Luckily, being later in the morning, a friend was awake and came out. Yesterday, decided enough was enough and carefully did what I needed to do to drive myself to my appt. Though I still mildly cussed , getting boot on and off is getting a bit easier. See foot doc next week and pray it comes off.

Sending good thoughts to everyone else dealing with life's challenges.

Last week, a friend took tarp off my lawn chairs and put them in garage, so time for friends to come over and chat. Even if it rains, can still relax in comfort of garage. Still want to fix patio, but garage is better than nothing.

hugs to all

Great news, Ana.

Finally we have an afternoon that's good for boating. No sun, but it's not windy and the tides work in our favour.

Still haven't seen any humpbacks, and the whale-watching boats are still going north to look for grizzlies, so I guess the humpies are not back yet. I think we'll just do a quick spin around Mittlenatch, which is a small island that hosts large bird nesting colonies and many, many Stellar and California sea lions. Still lots of migrating birds at this time of year, too.

same thing, great news ana..

Enjoy the boating hagatha!

Thanks. It's important for my guy. It's the only time he forgets about the cancer and is able to just be.

Great news Ana

Hope your boating was fun Hagatha!

Keeping you in my prayers ButterFlyBabe for your foot and no boot!

Ah ... too late for donuts I see ... I need to stop in before I go to work

Have a wonderful evening everyone

Thank you all so much! Sis is doing much better, still gets exhausted quickly but is definitely feeling much better.

hagatha, hope you were able to enjoy the day with hubby on the boat.

Butterflybabe, sorry you are going through a rough patch. SEnding positive thoughts your way!
