[mom x4 grandma x4]

morning Marsha,
well I finally slept all night YEAH!!! First time in days.
I feel good today but will take it easy still, for a couple of days.

I am going to ride along with Greg to go to Petco and he will bathe the dogs.

After that I will just be resting at home.

Hope you are having a good weekend.

Each weekend that passes your cruise is getting closer, mine too.
It sounds like you have the shoes and clothes that you need, and Mickey and minnie are all set too.

well time to go to Petco.

enjoy the day,

kathy

Glad to hear you finally slept thru the night and feeling somewhat better. I agree take a few more days of resting to assure its thru your system.

Yeah our cruise and yours is close now. Hard to believe its so close now. Then once off this one in June just short time before the 7 night one in Sept.

I made it to church today but just a different church then I normally go to. I arrived at the church I have been going to, got frustrated over nothing really so I left as soon as I got in. So decided to check out another church and went there. I liked the service so will probably visit there again.

Rest of my day is to rest as well.

Take care of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

later

Hi Marsha,
well greg bathed the dogs today so they smell much better and he did a grocery shopping for me, mostly fresh stuff. When I feel stronger I will do a good size shopping. Not for a couple of days though.
I am still weak and dont want to catch anything else.

Hope your day went well. Mine was pretty good but since I was kjust sitting around to relax I couldnt find anything to watch on TV, so I played some DVD's.
I watched Toy Story, Over the Hedge, Monsters Ink and The Pacifier.
glad I have a small library of movies.

well off to clean up and go to bed early.

see ya later,
kathy

morning Marsha,
well it looks like we are in for a very HOT week. Low 90's all week. Hope you dont have to be out in the heat of the day.
I am just relaxing again today , although I am going to do some ironing this afternoon.

I'll be in touch,

kathy

 

[brady961]

good afternoon. hope you are feeling back to 100 percent by now.

well two weeks from thurs i will be sailing for 3 nights WOO HOO.

I added my friend luvalldisney to my Sept 07 cruise today double WOO HOO.

When talking with DCL today he stated the 4 night cruises are all booked for the summer. Fortunately the 3 nights must not be or the Fl rates wouldn't have come out for this June cruise. Now crossing fingers they come out for the Sept cruise.

I want to hear about your carnival cruise esp in comparassion to DCL.

catch ya later.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
I would say I'm 90%. I feel good until I do something then I am exhausted, so I am trying not to do anything.
But that is almost impossible, I did have to iron some clothes today and that pooped me out but it needed to be done.

Pretty quiet day today around here.
Yes I do plan on camparisson of both ships!!

well, catch ya tomarrow, I'm done for the night,

kathy

 

[brady961]

hope you get more rested tonight. i am about out for the night already as well.

catch ya tuesday

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy Marsha,
well today is going pretty good. slight headache is all.

Not up to much. I will go to the drive through at the pharmacy to pick up a prescription later but it is easy to do.


Going to be another hot one today!!

I'll check back soon,

kathy

 

[brady961]

OMG I am so glad you mention phamarcy. I have forgotten yesterday to order a refill on something. Well just ordered it online. Thanks for the reminder. <G>

Boy you have had a rough weekend/week. and now still a headache. really hope you feel back to 100 percent soon.

catch ya later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning Marsha,
well glad I reminded you of your RX. I got to the store but didnt make the pharmacy. I will go there today sometime. They have a drive through so I dont have to get out of the car. Very nice when it gets hot out.


I am thinking about our cruise. I am going to make a door sign, but not sure just what to do because it isnt Disney and so no characters to put on the signs which is usually the base of my signs.

Maybe just something tropical or beach themed will do. Any ideas??

I am going to just relax as much as I can today.

kathy

 

[brady961]

well i ordered the meds but i too didn't get to pharmacy to pick it up. i use walgreens and it has drive thru too. so i order online and drive thru window to pick up. no getting out of car. what a life LOL.

Umm pic for door? Name of ship cruising on, maybe a pic of that ship, map of where going, of course the beach setting would work too, or make it more a collage of several different type pics with either name of ship or pic of ship in middle of collage.

good luck

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Thanks for the ideas.
Just to see what people say I thought about still putting a couple of disney characters on it and see if anybody says anything

I will figure out something, eventually.

catch ya later,

kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

morning Marsha,

well it's going to be another HOT day today. I have a couple of quick errands to do this morning before it gets hot.
This is the first time the new pup will be without adult supervision since we got her. It will just be a few minutes, but hope it will go well.

when we cruise they will be here for a few hours alone while peter is at work so I have to start getting her use to it a little at a time. Having Minnie here should help some.

Hope you have a good day today and dont work too hard

I hope to watch the ship pull out tonight.

kathy

Morning kathy
do you crate train or leave them free run of house?

either way probably she will follow Minnie's lead being there alone.

we got quite a bit if rain last night thankfully. but I don't think enough to get us out of the drought.

But it's that time of year, afternoon thunder showers, so maybe will begin getting some rain to help out each day.

Two weeks from today and an hour from now i will in the terminal at DCL getting ready to board the Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait. geesh two more weeks. But next week I am out of town Mon - Fri. Week of cruise am out of town Mon- Wed. Then Wed night heading over to hotel in port area. Stay there overnight, then head to terminal by 10a Thurs.

And only a few more months before Sept cruise.!!!!!!

have good day.
catch ya later

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Marsha,
we didnt get any rain last night. It poured all aounrd us, but none here.

Well the house survived 45 minutes of the dogs being alone. Puppy was curled up on the couch and Minnie was outside when I returned. Nothing had been chewed up or tipped over so they must of behaved some.

We have 2 baby gates across the 2 short hallways that go to other parts of the house, so the dogs can be on the tiled kitchen and eating area where the doggie door is and the familyroom where we spend all our time.

We do have a large crate that we put Pixie in at night to sleep and when I have taken Minnie to the vet I put here in there, she is comfortable with it.

But I need her to be trained in the fenced in area because she cant spend 18 hours a day in the crate. If she slept in it, was out a couple hours, if that long, then put back in when Peter went to work until her got home 9 to 10 hours later. let our for about 4 hours then back in to sleep.
That wont work!! she needs to play, go out to the bathroom and have food and water.
So we just fenced off one area of the house and figure we shampoo the carpet and furniture often, right now once a week,even with NO accidents.
when we are crusing this is where the dogs will be while Peter is at work.

I went upstairs for something for about 5 minutes and when I came back down both dogs where laying side by side all sad looking until they saw me then they jumped all over me. I think they thought I left them again.

Tomarrow I will find something to do so i will leave them for about an hour in the morning. Pixie needs to learn it is ok and i will return.
Peter and Catherine have headed out for St. Augustine until Sunday, so the next few days are a good time to leave them for a little bit at a time.

Sounds like you will be ready for a vacation by the time it gets here!!
You are a very busy lady.
I will keep us bumped up the best I can until I go on my cruise.

Even though I know your gone all week I will keep posting.

It is almost 90 outside already, so glad I am done going out for the day.


keep as cool as you can. Have you tried your vest for just going on errands in this hot weather or for work when it is hot out?? I was hoping it would help you be more comfortable when you have to go out in this aweful heat.

I'll be in touch,
kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Good morning Marsha,
well this morning I opened up a couple of windows to air out the doggie smell from my house, but as quickly as it is warming up I will have to close them soon.
Greg had an early meeting today so we were up by 5 which isnt much earleir than normal, but both dogs are already napping which usually doesnt happen until about 11 a.m.
No plans for the weekend here. I wanted to go to WDW to meet up with a friend from a past cruise but it wont be possible until the puppy get older.

She is doing great but just cant leave her for that many hours yet. Today I will try to go for an hour , maybe a little less to get her use to the idea of me leaving for a while. Minnie knows the routine but Pixie doesnt.

Thats about it for now, I'll check back later,

kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Just dropping by to say good night.
had a good day today, didnt do much of anything.

Hope you have a good weekend,

kathy

Hi Kathy
It's been one of those non stop days. Up at 6a to be at laundromat to wash clothes. Back home after that, then some work here at home. Then a 12p meeting, then a 2p meeting. Finally home around 5ish or maybe little before.

Just got back to house after going to park in parking lot so I could watch the Altantis. Beautiful site.

I am exhausted and want to sleep. But know if go now I will be awake by midnight and unable to get back to sleep. So going to try force to stay awake until much later.

I may meet a friend this weekend at one of the WDW parks for a few hours. Other than that no plans but rest.

I leave Monday morning for Ft Lauderdale and return home on Fri. Then following week in Daytona Mon-Wed. Wed night head to hotel near port and ready to be at terminal that Thurs morning for 3 nights on the Wonder WOO HOO.

My friend going with me lives in Ft Lauderdale so both of us thought easy to meet each other at hotel near port. Then up early Thurs and to the terminal to get started on a weekend sail <G>

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Good morning Marsha,

well you will be a very busy lady, so the time will fly by until your cruise.

That really helps the time to go by quickly. I will miss you while your gone all week, but I will do my best to keep us bumped up and when you get back it will be about time for me to go and you will be in charge of keeping us bumped up

I saw the launch from my patio, it was great and it appeared just a few seconds after launch. We wernt sure if we could see it from here but it showed up great. At our last house we had a fantastic view of it!!

I wish it would of been after dark because it really looks great then, like a big orange and red fire ball.

well today will be some yard work and house repair, that is about it. Greg of course will be doing the yard work and I will do a few things inside the house. I have laundry to put away and shirts to iron today.

Guess I had better get to it.

hiya
just got home from spending afternoon at Epcot. Had a great time. Cooling vest I wore today worked great. I got another type, one that you can regenerate the therma cooling paks in ice water for about 20 minutes. Versus the other one the paks must be frozen in a freezer.

I was comfortable although i felt the burning sun on my bare legs and arm. Yet my core body temp wasn't rising and causing problems. So go thru in comfort.

Even went to First Aid and asked them to put ice in my collapsable cooler to regenerate the paks. It really did take only about 20 minutes and were ready to go again.

Plus this gave my friend time to sit and cool off too while we waited in there.

I am exhausted, and of course swollen feet/ankles/legs so going to spend nite laying in bed with feet/legs elevated, and where i have a window AC unit.

My sitting room only has ceiling and oscilating fan so isn't that cool.

On drive home I saw the most beautiful rainbow that was crossing I-4.

Hope you had a good day. I bet having Minnie is a good role model for Pixie in what to do and not do. Hoping that is helping in her training and less work for you.

Can you believe your Glory cruise is only 21 days away? Are you packing yet? preparing? organizing?

catch ya tomorrow.
