I'm baaaaaaaack!!! I haven't been on since last December, except for a post or three I made on Thursday. I figured it was time to stop being a stranger and say hi. (I'm horrible at responding to forum posts by the way, but it doesn't mean that I don't read them.) :dance:

Welcome back!!!!

Hello everyone

How is everybody? I was away a couple weeks, as life was interupting my plans to show up here regularly.

In the last couple weeks my parents had to untertake some serious medical examinations and on top of that we all felt ill. Luckily the results aren't as bad as expected.

My father has sleep apnoe (as we expected since some years, but he refused to check it out) due to the fact that his throat closes up during sleep. Despite the condition he does have enough oxygen. Therfore he needs a vacuum device which should make sure that his throat won't close up. Hopefully this device will help him rest better.

On top of all those examinations we also had to put our tomcat to sleep. He started to eat less and less and became very quiet. On a Wednesday two weeks ago, my father went to the vet (our old vet retired and a vet corporation took over) and they said he had a kidney and a liver tumour. They also told us that he didn't have any pain at that time and gave us some drops which should make him hungry again. We were suppose to give him this drops once a day. But he refused to eat on Thursday and on Friday mornig he breathed very heavily. My father called the vet corporation again and they told him to bring our tomcat over as he now need to be put to sleep. Otherwise he would get a cirrhosis of the liver, which would be very painful. My father wanted to make an appointment on either friday (the same day) afternoon or saturday afternoon, as due to work those were the only times he could go. The vet corporation told us, that they are only aviable on friday morning and saturday morning (there are tree vets in that corporation!). So that afternoon my father drove to the other vet, who was aviable. After looking at our tomcat she said that he was in real pain and has been for a couple days. My father was shocked. If he knew this on Wednesday he would have put Benji to sleep that day. Never ever would he take him back home again!

Now, we are happy that he is without pain, but we miss him dearly. He was with us for sixteen years and lived a good life. We also decided to change our vet. Not just because the vet corporation wasn't aviable when we needed them but also because they are more expensive than the other vet. They also want everything paid in cash right after the examination. The other vet still offers invoices. Which is much better.

I am sorry for your loss.

Good morning everyone!

A new workweek means a week closer to Christmas! That final window can't come soon enough. It's a beautiful morning here in Canada's capital. Temperatures are to reach the lower 20s/mid 70s with a little bit of wind. A perfect way to celebrate the final single digit day of September!

Today is my first official day of job searching. If you all find something, let me know! ...Kidding. I am searching in full force. I hope you all had a great weekend and are looking forward to the next. After all, a milestone will soon follow!

I hope you are able to find something quickly.

Good morning, friends~

Happy Monday!

Hope you guys had a nice weekend!

I have a busy day ahead. My oldest & dearest friend and her fiancee are stopping by later this afternoon, they live in Washington now. It'll be nice to catch up.

Unfortunately, Harlowe has been having trouble again. She was sick all day yesterday, and I am feeling so worried & stressed. Breaks my heart. Can you guys please continue to pray for her?
Thank you

Sending hugs~

I just got the new Terry's Village christmas catalog in the mail. Can someone please come take my credit cards and checkbook for safe keeping!!!! I haven't even looked past the first couple of pages and I'm already searching for the keys to the safe to get them out.

I got mine in the mail today too, LOTS of nice stuff!!!!

Good evening,

I guess I am the last one in tonight, I'll be sure to get the lights before I leave. cheesy

Today actually went very quickly at work. I did get the dreaded news that I will be a "HOT" item team leader on Black Friday, for the 3rd year in a row. I hate that job. I have my first training session on Thursday, at least I learn about it 2+ months in advance instead of a week before like the last few years.
Day off tomorrow, I have my physical in the a.m., and then JP has his in the afternoon.

Just listening to the Joy Strings Christmas album before bed, it is something a little different, a nice change though.

Good night, everyone.

I feel your pain, Cetacea. We had to have our cat put to sleep this summer. She was also 16, and the vet found cancer when we took her in after some weight loss. We are thinking of you and your family. My husband used a C-Pap machine for his sleep apnea. It really works, even though Hubby does not really like it! I am glad your parents' test results were not as bad as first expected. How old are your parents? Take care and visit us here when you can.

So lovely, Holiday! I am going to do a ripple stitch, too! I bough even more yarn today! It's getting to be that time of year, and I love it!

Love that yarn! My Mom made an afghan using that yarn for my niece:

 

[Seawaters]

Oh, man, love those temps!

I am caught up on posts through Saturday morning! Geesh... :lol:

Check out our temps this week. High of 94 on Tuesday & a high of SIXTY SIX, low of FORTY TWO on Friday! :cold: Talk about a drastic change in temps!!!

 

[Seawaters]

What a special weekend for you and Jacob! Glad you enjoyed it even if it were a little bittersweet!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was a hot weekend, but we had a good time. Friday night, we went to hear Jacob's guitar teacher, Chris, play in a blues concert. It was a great show! I know I've mentioned it before, but Chris is the younger brother of my old HS friend, Mark, who played in the band with me for years & years. It's funny to see how much Chris looks like Mark, and has the same on-stage mannerisms. Chris' drummer (Matt) is our drummer, too, so it felt like I should have been on stage instead of being in the audience.

Saturday was all about hunting, and Jacob and I had a blast doing that. Sunday was relaxation at mom's...except for having to drag the broken pecan limbs across the orchard to the burn pile.

Tonight I have a city council meeting and Nancy has a church Ladies Circle meeting. Run, run, run!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good luck in your quest, Brent! Are you looking for a teaching position?
