@Momof4. Guess what I just picked up at the post office. Maybe if we had had our conversation from Thursday earlier, it would have arrived earlier.
I am out doing some things and will reveal my box later. Can't wait. View attachment 263839

Nope just kidding there is still one more and it is the best, best one.

Thank you Kathy, I absolutely love my gifts. You are definitely good at picking out gifts.

This little gem I need to figure out how I can hang it on the outside of my enclosure, as that will be the best place for it. View attachment 263855
How beautiful! Well done, @Momof4 Love your thoughtful gifts :<3::<3:
And so happy Carol has finally had your Christmas ;):)

Good morning All. I have been lurking but not too active this week. Y’all might remember that I had to travel to Baton Rouge for work and had intentions on visiting Tricia Stringer and her family. That however did not work out. On Tuesday, the day before I left, I became slightly ill and had to make a trip to the DR... after a nice shot of Rocephin, a positive strep test and a prescription of antibiotics, I canceled the visit to Tricia’s because I didn’t want to infect her children.. I went ahead with my work trip but by the time I arrived in south La, it was very clear that I couldn’t take the antibiotics that the dr prescribed. So I just didn’t. Got through Thursday ok but by yesterday, a new plan was in order. I muddled through my work and headed to back home shortly after lunch. I stopped on the way and got a new prescription that I started last night and am tolerable this morning... believe it or not, this was the short version... lol...
I’m really glad to be home though. I don’t like traveling away from my children or pets. My son snuggled me lots last night. It seems Toretto was somehow traumatized by my absence.... if that’s possible. He had some diarrhea which has not ever happened in the past.. I left his food pre planned and daughter said she followed my routine to the letter... is it possible he really missed me?
Hope both you and Toretto are on the mend now that you're back together, Heather! :<3:

So many sick CDR'ers. Maybe it's because it's so dark, cold and gloomy in here. I hope you all get well soon. It's no fun being sick.

I started walking my 10 laps around the pasture again. I had quit because it was just too darned hot during the summer, then I had to work up my 'attitude' to get started again. Funny thing is, I didn't have to start with fewer laps, I started right back in with my usual 10 laps. And could have gone more if it weren't so darned boring! 10 laps is a mile. I think a mile is plenty. I walk briskly, so my heart is pumping pretty good when I'm finished.

Someone I used to know in the turtle club asked if I wanted his potted plants as he doesn't want to care for them any longer. So I made a special trip into town yesterday and picked them up. There were some jade, some pothos, some spider plants, a miniature rose bush and all the pots had ornamental strawberry growing in them. I used to have the ornamental strawberry in my box turtle enclosures, but over the years it slowly died out. So I'm glad to have that back again.

I'll leave you all with a picture of my favorite pup:

How cute. . . she took one of her toys to bed with her!
Well done on the laps, Yvonne!
Hi, Misty! :<3:

Good morning everyone! Sorry I missed out yesterday. I didn't have such a good day. However, I did have a pretty good night and I feel SO much better this morning. I am getting sick of slobbing on the sofa watching daytime tv, which is a good sign,but am still not really fit enough to do anything without coughing and/or getting breathless so there will be a couple more days of it yet!

The Six Nations rugby championship started last night with France v Wales in driving sleet in Paris. The first half was a disaster with Wales going 16-0 down by half time. And yet a miracle occurred and that score was turned into a 19-24 Wales win at full time!!! I am a very happy bunny! :)

I have Scotland v Italy and Ireland v England to watch today. The Six Nations tournament is the most important for Rugby Union in the Northern hemisphere. And as the World Cup takes place later this year it is an important stepping stone.

The Irish team is very unusual as it is a united Ireland side. Through all the troubles the island has had, the rugby union team has always had players from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is only way the island has ever, and will ever, unite.
I didn't watch the second half of the Welsh match because I thought it was definitely going to be a French win and my nerves couldn't take any more, so what a pleasant surprise when I checked the final score. Not the best performance for the first match but a great end result. Good results for Scotland and England too.

Hello CDRers.
I finally managed to log in - I tried on Sat but it kept telling me I had the wrong password, but no problem today.
I'm still at sisters house but will probably go home later today or tomorrow - she has such a lot on her plate at the moment I feel terrible adding to them, Her hubby is also due back off his ship tomorrow and while he is a lovely man the only shower I can get into is in their ensuite and I would just feel awkward. Plus I feel guilty asking them to keep their heating on for Lola. My sister gave me another pep talk last night about the tortoise and how I should be living my life - no point in arguing I don't expect her to understand.
Lola is surviving in very cramped conditions, which is OK as he isn't that active at this time of year - he is warm and eating, but I think I need to get him home.
Managed to get to my appointment and had new cast on, back again on Friday for some stitches to come out, then in another 2 weeks they'll xray and if they are happy I may be able to start to weight bear. You don't realise how something like this impacts on your life until it happens and I have had a few teary nights out of frustration more than anything, it's not in my nature to rely everyone. but I am grateful for everyone's help.
Hope everyone here is well, I'm just catching up on the weekend's posts.

Hope you and Toretto are both feeling better now, and managed to get some rest to recover properly.
Shame you had to cancel your meeting with Tricia but better safe than sorry.

Tunnels always have a light at the end of them. Don't worry you will see yours eventually. The waiting part is what gets you. Hang in there. Thinking of you and sending lots of healing vibes your way.
