Got a new husband sitter today. Here, you can see her sitting on him to make sure he don't go anywhere. She is so happy to be out of the dog pound.

Morning!
So it's Monday, I'm retired so I mostly don't care. It does mean offices will answer the phone when I call, though! It starts a new round of chores, lol. I'm still loving audio books!!! I can do my beadwork while I listen, or make coils and wick, or just play games. Jessie thinks I'm nuts, gets a "yep, there she goes again" look, when I start my new exercise program. I crank up some music and dance! And yes, the curtains are closed! It's more fun than just groan and bitch.
Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and having fun. Please keep checking in, I love my vaping friends.
Stay safe and healthy

In my opinion dancing is the best form of exercise. Swimming is right up there, though. You go ahead and have fun with it, and don't worry about even closing those curtains. Anybody who is looking into your house deserves to see something far worse than you dancing! They should MIND THEIR OWN BIDNESS! lol
Someone should invent little spray nozzles that are motion activated, to go along the outside perimeter of windows. Nosy pervs get sprayed with very unpleasant stuff, tear gas or bear spray or something, right in the eyeball sockets, if they come within four or five feet of your windows!
Nozzles must deactivate automatically for Fire Dept, Police, EMTs, shrub-trimmers, and YOU, should you lock yourself out. That might be a trick. lol
morning dailies
new case manager yesterday
she is pretty easy to talk to
she asked about the last few days. Which i said had been rough with lowered duloxetine (cross tapering to something else, just have to get this down first) with intrusive memories and thoughts
she questioned safety plan. And told me not to be shy to ring triage, 000 or show up to emergency after hours
we heroically discussed fear of sleeping. And she reinforced dr appt next tuesday will be important
she wants me to aim for showering every day. And being in the presence of humans every second day, just browse kmart or something
so acheiveable goals
we discussed most of the thoghts being around health professionals, and 1 in particular
sorry... boring sooky lala dribble

So... we took our new rescue dog to the vet today to get checked out. We got a 3 month flea chewable for her, and heartworm meds. She was more well behaved than any of the other dogs people brought in. No barking or growling. She wanted to sniff and play, but the other dogs acted vicious. For her own safety, hubby held her close.

Well, more news on the medical front today.
Hubbs has been complaining about his vision being fuzzy in one eye. He had cataract surgery in both eyes a year or two ago, and we both figured that one of the artificial lenses they used for the cataract repair had slipped out of place. Turns out it isn't that, it's that scar tissue has formed behind the lens in one eye. Apparently this is a fairly common thing.
So next Wednesday, hubbs gets to go lay in the ophthalmologist's chair and go through the laser lightshow again. The doc says they can get rid of the scar tissue without removing that lens. Don't ask me how - it makes not one lick of sense to me - but I'm glad of it, and hope it really works out that way.
I hope he recovers from this as easily and quickly as he did the initial cataract surgery. He was nothing short of a miracle then. I'm hoping for the best for him.

Sending healing thoughts and prayers for a quick and successful surgery.
Please keep us informed on how it goes for him.

Hey there, my friend! How great to hear from you and that you are well! Thank you for positive vibes!
Yesterday, I saw someone on FB selling a sleigh bed, which I have been wanting for quite some time. The lady lives in the same town as I do, so I went to look at it. It was nice, but needed some work. The prices was really good, so i got it.
I spent about 5 hours today working on it: removing scuffs sanding, restaining, vanishing (with water based acrylic) and adding a shelf to the headboard. Hubby is anxiously waiting to see it in the bedroom.
Grand total spent for bed frame and stain: $85.00

That looks great! Well done!
I'm supposed to do some of the same arm ones...
I've got crapped out rotator cuffs - both of 'em.
I recall having to go through all that when I had frozen shoulder in both shoulders. None of it did any good. I just had to ride it out until the problem went away on its own, no matter how cute and sexy my physiotherapist was. He turned 30 while I was going to see him, and he acted all bummed out he was getting "old". Yet, he kept telling me I was young (over 50 years old). SMH!
Not a great day, especially since it got to 107°F. I noticed the ground especially damp, so I checked under the house. A shut off valve had broken underground in a hole. We worked on it all day. Hubs took the day off for this. We got water to half the half bath, laundry room, and outdoor spigot. The rest will need more work, all under the crawl space.
Got the plumbing issues fixed, regardless of 114°F temp today.
High for today...
Mother in law back home, no covid & her kidneys are fine. Doctors think she is anemic though. They altered her medications. Wife down with her now, fixing up her "box". Bought her mom some nightgowns and a bouquet.
That's why I take 65mg iron pills every day. Been that way my whole life.

the rocky theme is playing in my head
I hope your visit goes well, and that you don't dread going too much.
Hubbs has ophthalmologist on Wednesday. He is looking forward to being able to see properly again.
Our son is here for a few days, and we found out yesterday that the person he's been staying with has strep throat. I'm still not well from the two sinus infections I've had over the past six weeks. Can't seem to shake it, even after rounds of two different antibiotics.
Still getting some drainage from where the big toenails were removed. No blood, just fluid. Just enough that I gotta put 2x4 bandaids around the toes before putting shoes and socks on to go anywhere or do anything.
On the weather, today is supposed to be the last of the extreme heat for this week, to be followed with highs only in the 90s, until next Monday when the extreme heat is supposed to return. Of course, they have been wrong before.

What was it there yesterday? 117, you said? I don't think it's ever been that hot anywhere I've lived, but I know in the city of Raleigh, when it gets over 100, the radiant heat from street pavement feels like it's going to take a person's breath away.
I thought it was outrageous that my daughter had been in 100 degree heat already in Tucson.
Don't know how you stand it. I really, truly don't.
I don't know how you stand it either, that's inhuman weather.
I stay inside my air conditioned house, except to go out in my air conditioned pickup truck. I wait til after dark to water my plants.I don't know how you stand it either, that's inhuman weather.
I hope your visit goes well, and that you don't dread going too much.
survived
they want me in PARCS (inpatient-lite) but i'm trying to avoid it
reduce duloxetine by 30mg every two weeks until gone, then start sertraline
On the flip side, we have been suffering record breaking heat for this time of year. We ain't supposed to endure this level of hell until August.

It was down in the 40s here again last night. Squirrelly weather everywhere.
