Battle of Monte Cassino Monday @ TDD - C&C

[kitkat]

Good morning!

Thanks for the start trissie! I vaguely remembered Wojtek's name... but not much else:)
I actually LIKE Mondays... Hope you have a great week.
Another busy week for you Kittykatt!
Enjoy the sunshine FFly
Harriet - might join you at the nursery...
helia send a little warmth my way please... Although I'm not complaining, I think 10 C is our high for today
LAnn Congratulations to DD! Hope you can rest up

Thank you all for your kind words yesterday. I did not make it back: spent time with tech help on the phone when our TV stopped working... Did all the restarts only to fig. out they need to send me a new box.

Today:
Started with call to Dfriend. We finally caught up! 2 hour conversation!
Pup fed
I'm caffeinated

Next;
meds/ suppl.
D2S
go for our walk

[trissie]

kittykatt, you're getting the measles vaccine today? take it easy, those vaccines can wipe one out!
Frenchie, how nice that you can spend your lunchbreak outside!
Harriet, plant nurseries are the best in spring! What you thinking of getting?
helia, if DH won't have those tacos, you can send them over! I actually tried a taco recipe last week - it was supposed to be a tortilla-less taco mix, but the kids pulled out an open pack of tortillas and they all loved it, so I am saving the recipe (DBD was not home, but usually the problem is DS, who doesn't eat onions, and Terri, who doesn't eat... well like everything)
L.Ann, yay for a gold for DD's team!
kitkat, I am VERY suspicious of Mondays!

I am glad ye all like Wojtek's story. I think it's one of the coolest WW2 stories I've ever read!
I am not a fan of Mondays, and lately, I am not a fan of work days at all. But I will not let that influence the rest of my day now that I am home! It was raining earlier, but now the sun is shining and there will be light till late, so that's a plus!

Good morning!

Thanks for the interesting and unexpected start, trissie. Very cool bear.

Kittykatt, I hope all has gone well with your appointment. What sort of proprioceptors exercises do you do?

Ffb, hope the abscess isn’t urgent. The time change messes with me too (our time change a few weeks ago, not yours lol).

Hi Harriet, I hope the appointment goes well.

Helia, I read your post but now all I remember is tacos mmm.

LAnn, yay to dd and her team!

KitKat, what a nice way to start the day reconnecting with a friend.

Happy gardening to everyone participating. I see lot of nursery trips planned.

I’m in need of coffee and some outside time so I’ll be back after that. (:

Thank you for the interesting start, trissie. I had never heard of Wojtek. The only bear going to war that I was familiar with was Winnipeg, the bear that became known as Winnie The Pooh in A.A. Milne's books.
I hope that you are winning against Monday.

Kittykatt, is your DH going to take Freddie to the vet tomorrow? Should be an interesting day.

I hope that you have a nice sunny walk during your lunch, FrenchFly.

I hope that the appointment goes well today, Harriet.

Oh, beautiful weather helia! Enjoy it.

I'm glad that your DD33 had a good time at basketball yesterday, L.Ann.

I can't explain this, kitkat, but we're up to 13C here. Once I get through breakfast and spiffing, I want to take Germane out to enjoy it.

Enjoy your outside time, Bama.

Enjoy your nice weather, Dogged.

Trissie, the mosquitos are showing up so not as pleasant as I had hoped.

[kitkat]

Dogged we earned this weather Enjoy!
Bama I can relate: coffee and outdoor time. The two together is perfection.
trissie Monday is a fresh start! New possibilities...

We are back from an hour long walk.
I put pup on a longer leash for part of it. She was pretty good once she understood she still can't criss-cross in front of me...
I tried to take her to the neighbourhood park for a little sniff time. We watched a man and a woman leave in a hurry with their dog. I figured, this will be good - nobody there. As we got closer, Dpup got fixated on something. (Something we try to avoid with dogs- so she doesn't react). I looked - saw nothing. Then a slight movement: SKUNK! We were out of there so fast! I gave her a handful of treats. (Lesson: not all fixation is bad)
Right now: she is watching little birds picking seeds in the backyard, telling me she'd want to go to them

Next:
I need some shopping- she needs a nap.
BIAB

The vets office called - beaus labs were a little high, he’s anemic and possible cushings disease. She wants to retest in May. Ugh.

Dh had a cardiologist appt this am - they want a stress test and echo. Double ugh.

Why does everything hit at the same time? Of course I’d rather deal with it all than draw it out.

List updated and moving on.
