Good Morning, friends~
Merry Tuesday!!

I got a call from Adrian yesterday that his truck had to be towed to the shop. I guess it's worse than we thought. So, he's without a vehicle for a bit, hopefully not too long.
And more unexpected bills came in the mail. It was a case of the Mondays!!

Hope you all have a blessed and beautiful day~

Sorry to hear about the unexpected expense! Never any fun!!! We had plenty of that this year too! YUCK! Of course they all had to come just as we finished remodeling our house. Lol - go figure! Hope your morning is going well!

Good morning everyone. Well we are on to Tuesday and it's a warm morning here in NY. Probably the last mild morning we'll have till next year or so. Although, ironically last Christmas morning was about 60 degrees when I woke up (granted the temp dropped the entire day and it felt more like Christmas by the end of the day). It was still surreal that when I went for my morning run I came home sweated on Christmas and had to shower to cool off as if it was a July morning. Hoping Christmas this year is more normal (wouldn't mind a snowstorm either but can't be greedy).
Anyway, Tuesday isn't so bad. It's a little better than Monday and as I saw someone mention on this thread from last night soon we'll be begging for the time to SLOW DOWN so let's not rush these last couple of days of September. Time goes fast enough so no need to rush it.
Hope everyone has a great day. And if you can't tell from my continuous posting yesterday it feels great to be back on this site...I really missed it and I'm really grateful to be back on here full-time.

Very true!!! We're glad to have you back here! Hope you are having a great day!!(60 on Christmas - that 'aint right!)

Merry Tuesday all.
I am exhausted emotionally and physically these days. We got the car back yesterday which was pretty quick. We were glad about that.

I have my youngest's birthday next week and I am trying to organise for it in the middle of everything else. I left it a bit late haven't I!

Have a great day!

Have a great day CS!

Good morning, MMC! Happy Tuesday!

I agree with lots of folks on here this morning...it'd be easy to want to rush into October, but I felt like September absolutely flew by! I'm going to start being really intentional with my time so that I enjoy each minute of it for the upcoming three months--my favorite of the year.

A typical day of work at my slow job today! Nothing major to report, which is good. We've got highs in the 80s today and tomorrow, and then it's back to seasonal 60s and 70s. I'm using today to wear my favorite summer outfits--if it's going to be humid and warm, I'm going to wear a knee length skirt and flip flops while I still can!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!

I did the same thing - I figured today & tomorrow I can wear shorts & short sleeves, but by Thursday it will probably be time for long sleeves. Better wear them now while I can! Have a wonderful day DYHWIH!

Thank you Snowflake. Not a good night. I'm concerned. Hoping this holistic doctor can help. He has very good reviews. I'm a bit nervous about the drive, it's pretty far and Maggie is a nervous wreck in the car. My husband is coming with me though so we should be alright. I'll keep you posted.
xo

(((HUGS))) to you!!! I really dislike being worried about our fur babies!!! I'm glad your hubby can go along with you on Thursday. And I'll be praying extra that the new vet can help her out!!!!

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning! I wish all of my friends here a very happy day! I'm glad October is coming, I have my fall and Halloween decorations up already. Going to make some scented candles here soon for the holidays.

Awesome! Do you make your own candles? Have a great day frostyman!

Agreed!!
I had car troubles last month, as well.
Enough is enough! Oh man, we better have another glass

That stinks! Sorry you went through it, too!

When it rains, it pours
Adrian got an unexpected bill from his surgery, we thought we had received them all- apparently not.
Our health insurance premium is going up, again, that was in the mailbox yesterday.
The truck (at the shop), Doctor appointments, commuting back & forth to Tomah.
Rent was just raised again! It's been more than our house payment was.
We need to budget better. And we just decided on going month to month last week, (which raises it an additional $50/month on top of the other increase) so we could start looking for a house again. Time is not on our side, lol. Ahhh, well. What are you going to do?

Thanks! (Knocking on wood)
Cheers, Sam!!

Good Morning, Folks.

Won't be long now.
Not long at all.
Soon, we will be entering the HOME STRETCH to Christmas Season 2015, with that point now being a scant 8 days away.
One week from tomorrow!

Our numbers:
Days to the Season: 45
Days to Christmas Day: 87

Just doesn't seem possible, does it, that we are nearly NINETY PERCENT of the way back to our long-awaited and dearly coveted Christmas Season.


Rain, rain and more rain.
Are we going to wash away -- or just dissolve?
Only time will tell, as more precipitation is expected each day for the rest of the week.
Geez, Louise!
Right now, our dripping thermometer records a surprisingly warm 83 degrees here in the capital city.


Regardless of your weather, you have a Terrific Tuesday, OK?

Homestretch ahead! So great to see that we're about to turn that final corner.

Wine, appetizers, girl talk!

I'm coming!

The HOME STRETCH??? WOW!! Crazy!
It's rainy here today too!!! I hope you don't wash away OR dissolve!!!

Good morning everyone, Happy Tuesday!
I've been working on some chores around the house, just relaxing now for a couple of minutes with a cup of coffee. I'm going to head out in a little bit to get my errands over with, I have to get a few things at the supermarket. I also have to stop at the veterinarian to pick up copies of Maggie's most recent test results to show the holistic veterinarian on Thursday. I have to squeeze a workout in at some point too, if I can find the energy. I really need to catch up on some sleep!
That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I hope you can catch up on some much needed sleep or at least get some rest!! I hope you (and Maggie) have a wonderful day too!!
