They called and said he's on his final check but instead of Monday afternoon he got in Tuesday so they want me to pick him up 10AM Wednesday...yes yet 1 last and final (I hope) day of waiting? Just gonna stay at work then and get his stuff first thing Wednesday, pick him up, spend all day with him...and maybe come in to work a little late on Thursday to spend a little extra time with him. I can't take anymore waiting lol.

To have to wait one more day, the anticipation must be the hardest part. Just a bit over 11 hours from now.

Good afternoon, MMC~

Adrian spent an hour & a half at the vet's office today. Harlowe had an exam, and a few different tests run. They did full labs, and an x-ray on her heart as well. So now we wait for results, and should hear back sometime tomorrow. I hate the waiting game.
I stopped to see her over lunch, and she was pretty stressed. But I'm still happy I checked in on her.

Thank you for all of the kind messages & texts. We appreciate you thinking of us, and for keeping Har in your prayers

Har is in my thoughts.

Good afternoon all my Christmas loving friends !

Enjoying beautiful Vermont even though this trip has been a wet one with all this rain.

My daughter capsized her canoe, lost her phone at bottom of lake and looks like our cannon camera and all the lenses are toast. But she had on her life jacket and despite having to swim back to shore towing the boat behind her she is fine. She was rather shook up for awhile because she was alone at the time. Another boater was out there and just went past her not even offering to help. Thought it was standard to help someone on the water. But like I said, grateful she is fine.

Still 4 days to go !
Having dinner out tonight at a Chinese buffet, going to be good !

See who we had dinner with the other night....

here are a few more pictures...

I am glad your daughter is okay, must have been quite scary.

Good evening everyone! Had my first day back at work yesterday and it went well but I was quite busy, as usual. One of my colleagues had a severe ailment while I was away and is now on sick leave. Her husband has also been struggling with a long-term illness for the past few months, it's awful for both of them. That's when you're reminded that there's nothing more important than health. Sadly I only really understood that when I turned 40. But it's never too late to take better care of yourself I think (I hope). Enjoy your night everyone!

I will keep your colleague and her husband in my thoughts.

Xmas365...hear about our possible "cool down" next week and the farmer's almanac predicting a cold/snowy winter for the northeast (but don't they do that EVERY year)?

I hope that is true, I want a cool down, and lots of snow for winter.

Good evening,

Back in the swing of things again, just a long day, and the humidity returned.
I am truly ready for autumn.

I hope you all had a great day.

Goodnight, everyone

Good morning, friends~
Merry Pines Day!
We lost power again last night, so I was up a bit trying to find a back up alarm.
Wasn't out for very long, maybe 45 minutes. The storm clouds were beautiful, though. Came out of nowhere.
I am hoping to hear from Harlowe's vet this morning before she starts to see patients, that would be ideal.
Wishing you a blessed & peaceful day!
See you tonight

Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day! My "emergency" vacation day today after being off 2 days last week, a few days in July, going in a couple hours late tomorrow, etc...think I need to get back into the work groove. Anyway, I'm not mentioning you know what until it happens lol. I'm not gonna jinx it again. I do hope everyone is well. I have some things to do today on my day off...and I think you know by now what I HOPE that is. Other than that, my brother had a good birthday with pizza and cake (and a friend came over for it). It was nice. 2 weeks from today guys...the EVE of the BERS!!!
Have a great Pines Day everyone!!
