Thanks for checking in, Rossella! Yes, work blessings. Grab it while you can. Bobbie still cyber-down. Sends Love to All. Have a good night! Get some sleep, Austin!! Zzzzzzz...snore...zzzzzz. Love, Christina xo
I got back from Myrtle Beach this afternoon. Both mom and my brother seemed to have survived just fine without me for two days. I have another crazy week ahead of me, so I hope everything continues on a good note around here. The beach was wonderful to listen to the waves and walk along and pick shells. It was good for both me and b/f. We needed some quality time together. He is nervous about his upcoming test to determine if he will now need a valve replacement.
Have a good night dear friends and I will catch up on everything tomorrow.
Had a great time this afternoon. Saw a large buck mule deer, a javelina, and a coyote. Omaha is feeling better and better, he kicked up his heels and took off at a gallop this morning. His broken nose is already not so sore. Cricket, hope your dog is better. Pets just get to be part of the family. Diane, glad you got the trip to the beach. Well deserved. Angel your horses sound lovely. Perhaps you can own another horse someday. When life gets a little slower? Rosella, good to hear from you, don't work to hard, whew. Boy I'm tired, got to go soak in a hot bath. Love to everyone.
Meanwhile: what is a javalina? Never heard of it. We get coyotes in the summer when they come out of the hills for ''cats & water." scary. Usually come in 3s or 5s. One almost got my indoor cat last summer while she was pretending to be Nimrod.
Ha! Whatever works. The wineries are not so pretty at this time of year, but in middle of May should be green. Cricket is studying after a long night with the puppy. I am studying, too, but need breaks or I go nutty. Still waiting on an answer from meanwhile on "javalina". Sounds like a feminista spear thrower to me. I'm sure it's an animal, but i want to hear it from the equestrienne's mouth, so to speak.
Javalina's look like small hairy pigs. There are quite a few around here. They aren't really related to pigs though. The feral hogs and the javalina's do not interbreed. They have long tusks, and can be dangerous if cornered. A nurse at the hospital rescued an orphaned one, and kept it as a pet for years. It slept with her. She got the dentist I work for to cut the tusks. He has pictures of it in his dental chair, with a bib on. It is really funny.
Hi everybody! Sorry I haven't posted lately! Been sick, transitioning Dad to the apartment and Hannah's non-stop activities! Dad of course pushing boundaries, but he seems to like the apartment! He doesn't want to eat much and that is worrisome! He eats a bite here and there! I have tried all kinds of different foods, but he still just wants a bite or two! Had a doc appointment for him scheduled this week, but the office called and canceled because doc will be out of town. Rescheduled it when available in a couple of weeks! Guess new doc decided he wanted a vacation. Got a baby monitor with a camera so I can watch him even when not with him. Kind of creepy to watch somebody on screen but I have to do it! It is like a paranormal type experience! When we are out with him, he doesn't want to interact much! Never did really these entire 11 years he has been here! He will watch sports on his TV, but that is about it! Maybe a giant puzzle! I just don't know! When it gets warmer we can take him for walks in his wheelchair. Now he just mainly wants to sleep! Enough about me......
Cricket, read about your little dog and hope he gets well soon! Thinking about your Lucky! Oh and your Dad with the dog in his room and then shuffling the mess all over! That is something Dad did when he was in the house! I take one of the cats out to the apartment to visit with him and Luke the big dog goes out too, still working up the nerves to take little ones out cause they are all over the place! Give Lucky a kiss for me! Poor little guy!
Rossella glad to hear your work is picking up and snow has melted! What a time you have had with all the snow! The pictures were beautiful!
Linda I know this is a very sad scary time for you! Think about you and Pa everyday! I am going to raise the baby spiders and send them back to you later when they are a little bigger! Names are Matthew, Martin and Melissa. Melissa wears a little pink bow in her hair! LOL Hope your neck gets better soon! Think if you keep doing the exercises it will get less painful over time! I hate it when my neck and shoulder flares up! Makes the whole body feel bad! Take care of yourself!
Christina, you have so much going on right now with the wedding, school, and your Mom! I looked up the javelin! Look like a wild boar! Strange looking creatures! We get coyotes here and can hear them howl at night! Kind of soothing at times to hear them! Cats don't go out but when the little dogs go out they have to be on a leash even though we have a fence! Next thing I know Dad will probably have one in the apartment as a pet! I have to be a stearn land lady! LOL
Jen! Good going on the play! That is wonderful! You had me laughing when you read "wino's wedding" I do that all the time and have to rewind my eyes and read it over! Hope your heart is doing fine!
Diane, happy you got to get away and clear your mind! Amazing how at times just a little break can renew body and soul! Especially the beach!
Bobbie have been thinking about you and the boat angel! Hard thing to witness a loved one go through so much pain! Went through it with my Mom and wished I would wake up and it had just been a bad dream! Many comforting hugs being sent to both of you! Life is one big roller coaster ride for sure! You are one strong lady!
Kuli, Hope you are feeling better! I still go to see a doc after my Mom passed! It helped me deal! I felt like I was living in a surreal world and was disconnected! Anxiety and panic attacks all the time after she passed! I still see my doc to help deal with Dad! It is good to see somebody to sort through all the feelings! Wish I could just pluck you out of that darkness! You are not alone! XXOO
Carolyn, Lilli (anonymous), you still there? Hugs to you!
Have seen many new folks! Welcome and hello! You will like it here! Everyone is wonderful! I will be posting more now!
Hope I didn't leave anything out, I have been writing this for the past three hours while looking at the baby monitor and going out and checking physically on Dad! Feel like I have to constantly watch the screen! The screen beckons .......must watch.....the screen! Love you all! Kimmy
Ksobhie, your father reminds me of my father-in-law. Does your father have ALZ? If so you might try the Sunday paper. My father-in-law can't read anymore and he can't follow anything on T.V. so he doesn't like to watch it, and for him to help with anything anymore is a devistation because I have to be right there working his hands since he just can't understand that basic a concept anymore. I was at my witts end one day trying to keep him out of things and get things done when the thought occured to me to let him "read" the paper. We don't usually get the paper so I snagged our neighbors and gave it to him. It kept him busy for hours. He couldn't read it, but he loves to flip through it and fold it and even tear it into peices. He was thoroughly enjoying it. Now our neighbors are kind enough to drop their old papers off every couple of weeks and he loves it. Sometimes it's quite the mess to clean up, but it doesn't matter because he's doing something that makes him happy. It makes him feel as if he is doing something worth-while. We've also found that children's blocks are quite the entertainment for him. He's also developed an interest in drawing. He only scribbles, but it does keep him out of trouble for a little while; but every one is different. Don't be afraid to go outside the box for ideas. Remember when you were a child and the simplest things were the best? It's a good thing to think about for ALZ.
Thanks Kimmy. Omaha seems to be getting better. He can't graze yet. When he tries to bite off grass, he stops, like it just hurts too much. But he is eating all the hay and grain. He kicked up his heels and galloped back to the barn yesterday. That made me feel good to watch. Cleaning the wounds is messy. The holes into the nasal cavity are still draining snot and blood. It drains down where his nose is broken, so he doesn't want it scrubbed. Using udder balm to keep it softened up enough to clean. Of course he got a big shot of penicillin again today. Och. Horse penicillin looks like elmers glue. You have to use a giant needle, and it takes 12 cc. per shot.
Hi everyone. Just want to let you know that the wife's 94 year old mother fell at her assisted living home today. I was at the drs with my ma around 3pm this afternoon when we got the call that they were taking the mil to the hospital. After I got my ma back home we drove to the hospital and got there around 4:30pm and never left till around 10:00pm. They don't believe she broke anything but they kept her overnight for observation. They took e-rays and a ct scan but we didn't wait around for the results. When I find out tommorro I will let ya know what the outcome is. She had a lot of pain in her lower back and they think it is just a bad bruise but ya never know at that age. Hugs to everyone and I will have some jokes for ya later. lovCuz
Cuz, sorry to hear about the MIL. I shouldn't be complaining about taking care of an injured horse. It is really so much easier. Tuck him in the barn at night, and don't have to check on him again until morning.
Very interesting. The javalina is a 'peccary', more related to the hippo than the pig. Isn't that weird? Thanks for explaining, Meanwhile2. I am amazed that a wild animal could be domesticated so quickly. I have enough trouble learning primates, so will leave further investigation. Thank you. Kimbo! She's BAAAACK! Glad you are feeling better. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and you were missed. Maybe you read Bobbie has a down computer and trying to get a new one. Sends love to all. Great to see you Kimmie. xo Angelhair: the quotes are thought-provoking. I love the sarcasm in American quotes from playwrights, satirists, and political pundits from the early 20th century. And there is no one like earlier Ben Franklin, or Will Wright and Samuel Clemens. etc. Sending love to LindaHeart and Pa. The biggest hug and all our Love. xoxo
Cuz, sorry about mil. Amazing she is still getting around. I hope she is OK. As long as nothing is broken. My mom was still bouncing when she fell last year. Now, she can't walk, so no falling. It is a shame. Looking forward to some laughs. The other night I woke up my husband from snorting over something you sent me. Snort, snort. hugs:) ps no (dumb) blond jokes
You think the toothbrush thing is bad.......I have been taking my moms clothes home from rehab to wash them. She had a new pair of pjs and when I opened the bag of clothes the smell made me gag, Someone had stuck her pjs in there with a big old smelly turd stuck inside the pants of the pjs, Of course I took them outside and tried to fling the poop out but it would not budge so I sprayed it really hard with the hose. This loosen it up and I flung it off, then left them in a bucket of water for two days in frozen weather...when I went to get them the crouch was in ice. Finally I stuck them on the porch after flinging off the ice. I then proceeded to throw them in the washing machine on small load alone with 1 and 1half cup of bleach and 2 cups of soap. They are perfect again but do I get any thanks for this ? HECK no.
Cuz, so sorry to hear about your mil. Hope she will be fine! Take care of your back!
Angehair Dad does have ALZ. Thanks for the advice! Papers might work even junk mail! He used to like to fix things so maybe we could bring in things he could tinker with. Blocks would be good! Drawing pad crayons.....that would even help his motor skills! XXOO
