Good morning & Happy Pines Day to you!!

Hope the lab work goes well.
Treat yourself to something delicious when you're done!

Have a wonderful day, HmG [emoji170]

Xx

Good Morning, HMG!!!!! Hope the blood work all comes back okay!!! Hope you find something good for breakfast after it's done!! Have a great day!!!

Hope the blood work goes well & you get something yummy to eat! Have a great day!

Thank you!
I'm not one of those people that can skip breakfast. I wake up hungry, lol. I made up for it afterward!

Yawnnnnn! I'm up, trying to move about to get moving along... The coffee is a major help!

Well, getting ready to head out soon to start another shift. Tonight, I will be up and down and ladder for the next 12 hours, (not like I don't need the exercise or anything) but, that's a lot of step aerobics, and I can only imagine what my knees are going to feel like tomorrow this time...

Here I am, home when no one else is and not at home when everyone is
; huh?? Well, my poor wife has been contending with the drama of my son's love life, with him and his girlfriend breaking up, she's like telling me privately, Oh great, in one way and "GREAT!!!" in another way.

The background: My wife and my son's now present ex-girlfriend is like oil and water... Don't mix very well, but she is very nice to her and pleasant when she see's her. My wife is praying that my son doesn't go back to her...Yes, the moral of the story is that it ------ there is this other girl..... ! I just told him to be honest, follow his heart, don't feel guilty for doing what his heart is telling him to do. And most importantly, do what makes Zach happy on the inside. Sometimes, things happen for a reason~

I hope the coffee kicks in for you - you're going to need it for all them steps!!!
Best wishes to Zach! Praying he makes the right decision ~ I'm sure he will! :smile:
Have a good day!

Good Morning....happy Wednesday!

A little bit warmer day in CT today..thank God!! I have to say I am ready for spring. I had to bring my daughter to Urgent Care last night she ended up with a bladder infection so she is home today from school. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon.

We may have some snow/freezing rain this weekend...ugh!

I am so excited for the Christmas Countdown...10 months to Christmas!! :-D

Hope you all have a great day!

Sending get well wishes for your daughter!

Anxious about gabulldawg.
Does anyone have any news? His post alarmed me.

I am worried as well. I'm praying for him.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's a bit warmer here this morning in central Indy where we currently stand at 16 degree's. We should top out around 26 this afternoon. Not much going on for me. My allergies are going crazy so I'm just going to take some more meds and hang around the apartment. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon Made! I hope the meds helped your allergies and that you're having a great day so far!

Good morning MMC! So happy I had a chance to catch up on here this morning - wasn't sure if I would! Happy Hump/Pines/Rudolph Day! :rudolph:

I'm at work, but Dad just got back to his room after a 2 hr MRI. They had to give him extra pain meds so he could tolerate the test. He just has a lot going on. He is retaining fluid, so they need to figure that out. Hopefully we'll have some answers from the MRI about where the infection is. They did an upper & lower lumbar as well as the brain. Doc wants to rule out that he didn't have another stroke since his right leg is so weak. My oldest sister has been at the hospital all morning & my Mom/Brother are heading up shortly - I am taking a short lunch so I can get out of here earlier & head up, then another sis is coming this evening. Been a crazy 15 or so hours. Hoping the MRI shows an easy fix for the infection & they don't have to open him up again!

On a lighter note - the sun is shining & it was a balmy 16º this morning. cheesy

Have a great day gang!

Thanks guys! His MRI came back pretty good. No abscesses & no new stroke! Doc (surgeon) was amazed at the severity of his 1st stroke 17 years ago! They are running some more tests to make sure there is no further infection. Doc wants him moving as much as possible. Going to put him on a muscle relaxer! He's just in so much pain in his belly! Probably from the compression fractures @ t10 & t11. Hopefully things start improving now! xx I'll be heading back up after work & again in the morning. My sisters, brother & Mom did all the paperwork this morning at the nursing home, for rehab - he is ready to go there whenever they boot him out of the hospital!

Sending up prayers, I hope he improves very soon!

Our power was out for 11 more hours on Saturday. DH took DD & me to my mom's & we spent the night. We got 3-4 inches of snow Monday night into Tuesday. Tonight we are to get 2-6 inches. I think today was the last "snow day" before the kids have to start making up the days. I told DD she'd be in school on July 4th if this keeps up!

My grandmother is still in the hospital, but she is eating solid foods now & doing better. She will be living with my parents when she gets out of the hospital. It will be a burden on them: they did the same with my maternal grandmother, but she lived next door to them. You do whatever you can for your parents if you are a good child, IMO. I'll help them all I can.

I'm ready for spring & I need to make our camping reservations for Easter weekend. Thursday night through Saturday morning. It's just a short break & close to home, but we enjoy the time away.

Everyone stay warm & safe!

Continued prayers for your grandmother.

Thanks so much HMG! He's just so weak - need to get him moving as much as he can handle it!! :smile: (he's not going to like us for awhile!) :lol:

I highly recommend Pill Pockets. You should be able to find them in a pet store. Or cut the pill up smaller and hide it in pieces of liverwurst. That always works for my dog. Keeping Lulu in my prayers.

I've tried the Pill Pockets. She's very good at sorting the pill out from the pocket, swallowing the pocket and spitting out the pill. LOL

The vet finally pushed the pill down her neck, so that's what I do. It's weird-feeling, but it gets the job done quickly.

On a side note, I'm certain her tonsils are in good shape. :lol:

Ah. Weather.
The one thing Carl can't control, although he says he's "working on it".
(Could he be talking about a removable dome??)

It wouldn't put anything past that camel after what I've seen on 'Pines open nights over the years!

I was thinking more along the lines of cranking up the thermostat in the indoor party areas---but a dome would be awesome! :???:

Well gang - getting ready to call it a day & head back to the hospital. I'll be heading back to the hospital in the early am too! If only I had auto-pilot, my car knows the way...it's just those other drives we have to watch out for! cheesy

Have a great night!

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!!!

:rudolph:

 

[snowflake22]

Thank you, snowflake. Great to see you, too! I'll do my best to stay warm. I would imagine that you're having a similar issue in northwestern Wisconsin! Have a great week, too!

Thank you, Brent!

Yes, same problem =]
Brrrr!!!

Take good care!!

You can't go wrong if you follow your heart.

Good luck at work tonight, friend!
Coffee and hugs!

Peanut butter works sometimes...
But otherwise it's the shoving it down Har's throat, too. I need the assistance of Adrian, sometimes too. She is so picky about treats & pill pockets.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!



Thank you, I am so sleep deprived between the cats waking me up and the dogs wanting to go out in the middle of the night. It's crazy.













Thanks guys! No one else bid on the ornament, I got it for two bucks! It's super cute, I'll post a picture when I get it.

Hope you slept better last night!

Congrats!!!!

Good evening,



Inventory went well, but stressful. I am beyond exhausted, and everyone kept saying it to me at work tonight. I am also feeling a little off for some reason, probably just from being beat.



Day off tomorrow, I have no true plans, just some laundry and rest.



I hope you all had a great day.



Goodnight, everyone.

Hope you're feel better today and enjoying your day off!
