Here's hoping a terrific Tuesday in on tap for all of you.

It has to be terrific. NCIS is on tonight!!!

I'm having a hay fever attack this a.m. The next time I put up a picture on the new what do you look like thread, you'll see a picture of an old lady with no nose. I'm sneezing my nose off.

The winning pictures for the calendar have been identified. It was refreshing to see some winners that are fairly new posters here on the Forum.

Anybody read any good books lately? Can you share? I'm about out of reading material.

I guess today I'll string up some of those tiny white christmas tree lights over my Euphorbia tree on the front porch. The tree is too big to move into the greenhouse, but Euphorbia plants aren't supposed to be allowed to get any colder than about 50F degrees, so I string the lights around it and wrap it in plastic sheeting. This has worked for the past three winters. The plant is doing nicely. In fact, I'm going to have to re-pot it in the spring. This was last year:



You can barely see a couple of the lights in there.

What's going on in your lives today?

Right now, I am on my swing, legs under the sleeping bag, a cat who showed up about a year ago and I have yet to touch, is laying on my ankles. I have a hoodie on with the hood over my head (yes it is chilly).

 

[Jacqui]

Hello Jacqui, hope you are well.

How's your grandson today? Better, I hope.

*waves* Afternoon Gillian! JJ is doing fine.

 

[Jacqui]

Start breathing better Yvonne.

 

[Yvonne G]

The cat's sharing your swing, but can you reach down and touch it? Baby steps - YEA!

I made a change to my insurance coverage for next year, and I just found out that my doctor isn't on the plan I chose. Darn, darn and double darn. I've been with this same doctor for more than 20 years. I wonder if I can still use him...isn't there something called opt out? I'm on hold right now with my carrier - have been for the last 10 minutes. So tired of listening to that tinny music!

He was watching me closely, so I did not try. I did talk to him and moved my hand a little closer to him. These last few days I have touched, no more like actually petted, two of my long term never touched ferals.

 

[Yvonne G]

What's the weather like today, Jacqui? Are you able to be working outside?

I've sprayed a little Round-Up outside the fence, done a bit of raking and sweeping. Picked up some poop, loved on the dog. Was on hold for about a half hour only to learn that if I choose to use a doctor that's "out of the network," I will have to pay his full costs. Bummer. Now it's time to fix Misty's lunch, think about what I want (to cook or not to cook), then veg the rest of the day away.

this makes me wonder if you might have sleeping guests with you when you're asleep.

today is National American Beer Day go out celebrate

 

[Yvonne G]

Never could understand the attraction some people have for the taste of either beer or coffee. Bletch-h-h! I can hack a bit of coffee candy occasionally, but to drink? Ugh. And beer? Other than what it does FOR you, why would anyone ever want to put such awful tasting stuff in their mouths?

Completely agree with you. If only coffee could taste as good as it smells.

 

[Yvonne G]

True.

Enjoying being a coach?

I love it. My wife doesn't like though. Intent to obsess over things once I take on a project. It makes me good at what I do but then my wife complained on how much time it takes me lol. That's why I backed off this site some. The wife was complaining about how much time I spent on here and started resenting the tortoises.

It can be heard to strike a happy medium for all.

 

[tortdad]

Yeah. I think I just need to learn not to obsess over everything I do. I have control issues, lol

Need to let go of the reins every now and then I guess.

 

[AZtortMom]

That takes time and practice. You will get there.
