Good morning fellow FMers!
Sending you all some warm winds and sunshine! Its 56 degrees here already at 3am. with sunshine and highs in the 70s today. If it weren't for the winds, this one be my favorite time of the year. With these winds, there is sand EVERYWHERE. You'd swear that it gets in through osmosis sometimes. There are times when you can actually taste the sand in the air. Not a good place for asthmatics, for sure.
Nothing much new here.....still resting and getting bored. Gonna make Bear take me shopping tomorrow night. I was going to do it tonight but he has band practice tonight. Its getting too expensive sending him and then having to go back and buy what I actually sent him for.
Ya'll make it a good day! Gentle hugs....

TODAYS BRAIN TEASER --- Please answer off the top of your head...no Googling. PM your answers to me until D returns....

The Brain Exercise:
This puzzle uses planning and reasoning skills. You read the statements and then must develop a plan to solve the problem using your reasoning skills. These skills are found predominantly in your prefrontal cortex. This area of your brain is responsible for executive functions such as planning, structuring, and evaluating voluntary, goal-directed behavior, i.e., activities requiring the constant comparison of planned acts with the effects achieved.
ANSWER TO YESTERDAYS BRAIN TEASER....
You have 12 black socks and 12 white socks mixed up in a drawer. It's early in the morning and you don't have any light to see the colors. How many socks must you pull out (blindly) to be sure of getting a matching pair?
3 socks. If the first sock is black, the second one could be black, in which case you have a matching pair. If the second sock is white, the third sock will be either black and match the first sock, or white and match the second sock.

Good morning!I have wet-blanket brain: Heavy and useless.Ugh.So, anyway, for therapy, imagine you're this cat. You just took ove rthe world. Or, in this case, LilMiss took over my chair, with my blanket, and my U-shaped neck rest became her "seat". Welcome to myw orld. NotMyCat and apparently NotMyHouse anymore either...Purrs and puma power. I gotta go back to bed. Sorry. It's just too much...

I finally was able to capture a picture with all 3 of them together. lolSilver is on the heating pad, Hershey is the brown and black one who is stretched out in the middle, and Spike is the black and white one who is curled up in the corner looking up (Mom's cat). I have had to put beach towels on the Balinese couch because the cats just love it and Silver has vomitted a bunch of times on it. I...
Beautiful day here, high around 75 and sunny. Sooooo, gonna do some work in the yard, around outside of the house, and let the inside work slide a bit!!!
HUGS to all for a wonderful day!!
Basket, your leprechaun is hysterical!!! :)
No child should have to go through that. I watched my sister put her kids through that and she is paying for it big time. 2 of the boys are ok....thanks for my folks...but the youngest is costing her out the nose in so many ways.
I'm sure it'll be the same with the points. I know my guess...but I'm not certain.
Got MAJOR relief last night, and this morning I'm feeling pretty good. I actually hung up my clothes and make the bed before I went to work!!! That is unheard of. They had me on Tylenol 3's, and they did nothing but give me rebound migraines. Doc changed it to Percocet, and it was lovely. Am starting Lyrica...and praying that I'll be one of the lucky ones for whom it works!!! However, am really, really sleepy right now...if it isn't one thing, it's another.
Weather here is very cold (-2 F, -19 C). I hope I did that conversion correctly...
Cheers!
What a shame. But just keep taking steps in the right direction. And don't let the stress get too high...we can't afford that with our bodies.
Good luck, and hugs....keep us informed. The picture idea was BRILLIANT!
its a whole 29 degrees out... have some domestic duties to do today.. been avoiding them.. so today I have to get to them... and laundry... oh boy... My cat (abby) is in heat again.. man it was a fast 2 months. talk about test your patience... whew... but.. she cant help what nature brings on.... getting her fixed here costs way too much... poor girl.. keeping her as quiet as i can is the biggest challenge... uhg...
wow.. Rupz... got alot of stress and strife going on there.. hope things work out ok.. yes take a breathe and have some calming time... only brings on more pain hun...
wishing everyone a good day.. or as less pain as possible... hugs around to everyone!!!!!....:)
Today we're coming in at a smoldering 45 degrees. I feel the rain that is coming too. You know....I'm beginning to learn that with arthritis, I like the feel of rain vs the feeling of it coming.
Today is gonna be a long one. Hubby has an after work meeting. Since he's a consultant and is staffed at various positions, about every other month the guys of the consulting firm get together to go over things. So while the boys and I will be dining on left overs, hubby get's to have the dinner of his choice and a few beers. (but he NEEDS to get out)
Then tonight we go to pick up a free exercise machine. I'm looking forward to it. This is more of a body building machine....so for me I'll go really slow. But this will be great for when we can't make it to the Gym. Sadly I've become a homebound sort of girl. My anxieties trap me some days. So for me to just up and go to the gym is more challenging then it looks.
Rap hun, I put on that momma bear suit and go get em!!!
Cajun, Basket, Devon and Trish, I hope you all have good day today! Rap this goes for you too!!!
Gonna bee another day of Snow melt here in the western Dakotas...YeaY !! been up around 50 degrees here last few days and I am Lovin it !!

got Yikes news about the Cost of refinishing the hardwood floors in our new old house...6 grand...Geeez !! most of it is patchwork, they need to patch in where we tore walls down, and there was carpet on them, so there is Staples all over, so they all need to be filled...but still, I was expecting half that amount...but the man doing it comes Highly recommened, I checked refrences...nothing but Great reviews...and he is gonna Commercial coat it, since we have dogs...he said the Finish will last a good 15 years...
Hubby was late for work this morning...apparently when he tried to get up, I rolled over and put my head on his chest...so he thought he would lay there "A Moment" and hold me, fell back to sleep...his Employees called...LOL !! Thats Funny...I mean Really...Good Stuff !!
I Hope Everyone has a Great "Self Day"...!!
