Indeed.


i love your minions and signs

Yes, the minions have a way of making a person smile for sure.

J loves his minion fart gun I gave him. He says it toots......LOL



Yep, HHN coffee mug full this morning with coffee. Thank you, I do enjoy decorating for Halloween.




Enjoy your walk to the village and lunch. Your leg of lamb dinner sounds delicious.




Enjoy your salon time. It does feel good to be pampered for sure.


Sunny start to the day here. We are still in the uppers 80’s to 90 each day. Humidity makes it feel warmer.

I’am watching little J again today for a half day. I’am going to take him to the play area at the Mall. He likes to ride the rides there. I always take bleach wipes to wipe things down.


I did some meal prep for some meals for hubby while I’am away. I make his favorite meals and put them in freezer. I have my nephews wedding coming up next weekend and then will be home for a couple of days then leave for HHN. So I want to make sure hubby has some good meals. Our son and grandchildren will come by and have meals out with him too.

Grandson started University Monday. He was excited to start this new chapter.

My younger sister might be coming with me to Universal. It will be nice to have her along for sister time if things work out and she can go.


Won’t be long until we are all walking through this wall.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

Thanks Robbie, walk into the village and lunch were lovely. Nothing like spending time with friends.

I`m sure your husband will appreciate the convenience of you preparing meals for him ahead of time. Food made with love always tastes better.......

Have a lovely time with little one again today.....and hope your sister does make the trip this time around.

why is it you have a specific time for a doc appointment and then you sit in a room for for 40 minutes before the doc comes in ??

Aha! that’s why i carry my phone with me to play games while i wait….

It`s a funny thing now.....in waiting rooms if you don`t have a phone to play with, you`re the odd one out. Hope you didn`t have to wait too long.






We did have the nicest lunch today. We got there in time for some splodges of rain to hit, but by the time we got inside, it was off and the sun came out and has been gorgeous ever since.

Tom had mussels and frites, I had a smoked salmon and shrimp salad, others each had a different dish and everything was beautiful. And Tom was spoiled by some lovely gifts from them, and we have birthday/anniversary cards to take away with us on our trip which was nice they were so organised.

Walked home when we were done, it is hot!!!

Aroma of lamb is just gorgeous, might be a later than usual dinner, but we do want to enjoy that lamb!!

Now having the laziest of afternoons....

 

[keishashadow]

Wow, that’s a lot of flight changes. Is that becoming the norm with the airline industry?

Yes, it’s ti point you celebrate when flight isn’t cancelled…at the gate

I did not want to put a fence up as I felt this would impede the movement of the wildlife we have left, but hubby and I agreed if there is one more outburst from this guy it will be going up and the crappy structural side of fence will be facing the moron.

Fences do make good neighbors. Deer can jump most standard heights

Careful there as to having that side face neighbors. Here, we follow UBC uniform building code (plus some more restrictions). The ‘good side’ of fences has to face Street or neighboring property.

Even when no complaints filed, when I sold real estate had several closings where sellers had to reverse their older fences ( no grand fathering in) in order to get occupancy permit issued

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, we put our “nice” side out, as we have a stockade fence around our backyard. Was to keep dogs in. We have it up still, even though no dog at the moment. Hope your flight changes are done, Keisha. Have yet to see any of mine doing that yet, and very much hoping no changes for me. A bit later start next month. Well, an hour later. Still like those early flights to get there. Have an evening flight leaving. Would like both be the same times as booked.

 

[macraven]

It’s been a busy week for me and not sure who I told what the past few days
My issue started when I had emergency surgery on my back Monday
Have a growth close to the spine and surgeon did what he could and thought he removed it all

Had to have another session yesterday to scrape out more infection.
Saw surgeon again this morning for removal of another new cyst he found, said he missed it due to swelling

Have next stage of surgery tomorrow and cross my fingers this will be the final surgery.

Have been on antibiotics since Monday surgery and i usually respond well to them and hopeful I will be back to normal soon

I use the word “normal “ loosely
haha

(I read all the threads in my 4 sections on the Dis but hold back on some postings as don’t want to babble like an idiot)

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Finally I am back and mostly caught up at work.

It's been surprisingly hot hot hot (for us) and humid here, and where we traveled to as well. I am enjoying and soaking it all in. It cools down at night now though (which is good when it gets to 35C or 95F+) I sat outside a quite awhile last night enjoying the temps. Soon the fall weather will come, which makes me sad...but that's what happens when we live in Santa Land lol.

Our trip was great...very busy but great. Got to visit with my family for a few days and catch up with many extended family for 2 days as well. Reconnecting with my childhood cousins was great. It went by tooooo fast. Dh finally relaxed on Sunday before we were to head home, and then he wished he had taken more time off. But it wasn't long when we were on our way home that his phone was blowing up again, and he was putting out fires. Hopefully we can find a few days to sneak in a get away for a break. We are both needing it.

had the worst meal at Cheesecake Factory yesterday after waiting 2 hours for a table. warned off by the waiter that my favorite, Evelyn’s chicken is apparently now just a creamy garlic sauce monstrosity. Ok…

Will try the chicken parm. Waiter said their biggest seller. Figured it’s generally solid choice, difficult to mess up.

It was made out of ground chicken

ewwwww ground chicken. That is so wrong on so many levels.

Little dull this morning, but no rain. I mentioned more than once over the last few weeks many areas are in a drought situation, I don`t think we`re out of that yet, but hopefully with the heavy rain we`ve had we should start improving. It`s quite rare to hear folks talking of drought though in the last years.

Our news outlets have been reporting on it. I hope that the rain you get soaks into the ground and helps. When the ground is too dry, it has trouble keeping the water in.

I am starting the first of my medical office assistant classes. Can anyone guess the subject matter??

My guess is medical terminology

My younger sister might be coming with me to Universal. It will be nice to have her along for sister time if things work out and she can go.

How fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to do a park trip with my sisters. Sadly, I don't think any of them would like to do that. The youngest one maybe, but my middle sister, wouldn't step foot in a park. I hope your time with little J was fun. And your neighbor - some people....wow, wow, wow.

Had to have another session yesterday to scrape out more infection.
Saw surgeon again this morning for removal of another new cyst he found, said he missed it due to swelling

Have next stage of surgery tomorrow and cross my fingers this will be the final surgery.

Have been on antibiotics since Monday surgery and i usually respond well to them and hopeful I will be back to normal soon

I use the word “normal “ loosely
haha

I will be sending you lots of healing thoughts and prayers. I hope you start to rebound quickly...so you can get into the parks and enjoy HHN.

Well, I should shuffle a few more papers.

Have a great day everyone!

It`s the same law over here Janet, the ugly side with the posts are on the side with the owner.

What is normal anyway....and do we really want to be normal.....I prefer to be different.....lol.....

After tomorrow you`ll be done......hope it`s still not too painful, but certainly doesn`t sound fun!

Still no cooking for you.......

Glad you had a lovely visit with everyone Pumpkin. Glad your DH could chill out too, yes, more time off is always better.

Yes, there are areas that were getting flooded due to ground being too dry, we did drive through one area that had it bad. We do need more rain for sure, I think that`s part of the reason the trees are turning so early.

Hope your day goes quickly......






Lamb was lush!!!! I made the most gorgeous red wine and cranberry sauce/gravy for it and with the couscous and roasted carrots, it was a real treat. Tom said it was one of the nicest meals ever.....I`ll take that!!

Not doing anything special tomorrow night for Tom as we`ll go out to our usual restaurant Saturday night, just us which has not gone down well again lol......friends want to come too, but we`re meeting Kyle there, so just our family.

8.30 and it`s already dark, although windows are still open as it`s so warm. I do like it cosy though.....that`s one of the nice things about Autumn and winter.

Got no room for anything else tonight, we are stuffed!

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, sending lots of good thoughts and healing mummy dust. Back surgeries are no fun at all. Take care.

Pumpkin, sweet, that you had a great time with family and friends. Yes, take that time off for you and your DH. Good to truly relax sometimes.

What for dinner? No one in mood, as was very warm today.

Am now having nice looking hair. Decided to make an appointment just 4 days before my September trip. Enjoy my visits to the hair salon.

Back to look in freezer. Otherwise, it may be pasta night.

 

[keishashadow]

Have yet to see any of mine doing that yet, and very much hoping no changes for me.

Yes, remember when SWA’s schedule was written in stone?

ewwwww ground chicken. That is so wrong on so many levels.

Let me count the ways. Even my pooch turned up his nose at that mess

The time with ur family sounds so fun.

My guess is medical terminology

Good one.

I’m going with HIPPA stuffs

8:30 and it`s already dark,

Arrrgh need more summer! I’m already drowning in the pumpkin spice everything that’s cropping up.

Mac my mind immediately went to thot that belongs in a HHN house of horrors. Sorry U r going thru that.

Mr & I Have bi-annual check with family doc tomorrow. Whee. I liken it to getting our oil changed

Too early for lunch out afterwards, note to self schedule it later next go-round. Sooner or later I’m going to ace this retirement stuff

 

[Lynne G]

Brunch or a nice breakfast out Keisha. It’s those little things, lol.

 

[Charade67]

Another quick stop in. Both classes I am taking this term have a lot of writing. I hate writing.

why is it you have a specific time for a doc appointment and then you sit in a room for for 40 minutes before the doc comes in ??

And if you are late you get charges a fee. To bad we can't charge the doctors.

What an ordeal. I hope everything is over tomorrow and you are feeling good by the time of your trip.

I’m going with HIPPA stuffs

This class covers my favorite thing in the world - medical insurance.

Not doing anything special tomorrow night for Tom as we`ll go out to our usual restaurant Saturday night, just us which has not gone down well again lol......friends want to come too, but we`re meeting Kyle there, so just our family.

In case I miss it, Happy Birthday to Tom.

I haven`t seen any pumpkin spice here yet, but we don`t go to coffee places really and I tend to buy candles in America round about this time, so maybe I just haven`t been looking.

lol.......yes, it took Tom about 3 and a half minutes to get into retirement mode.......I of course had officially been "retired" for years so I was all set as a lady of leisure anyway.....yes, appointments in certain places were scheduled so lunch was up next conveniently.

Both of you are like us, glued at the hip to each other and I know you`ll both love it too....we often liken it to wondering how he ever had time to work, and he only worked the equivalent of 6 months out of the year......loved that schedule too!!! Someone asked if he was paid for the full year.......lol.......I just laughed and said of course!!!! He doesn`t miss work at all and it`s now just over 5 years since he did decide early retirement was for him......and it really is!!!

Hope the oil change goes well!!!

Thank you Charade......although we`re not going out for dinner tonight, we`ll still spoil him to bits today, make a nice dinner and a friend has baked a lovely chocolate cake for him. So he has dessert.

It would be Medical Insurance wouldn`t it......lol.....




Another hot night, and lovely looking day out there this morning.

I have my usual 3 and a half hour hair appointment this morning.......I always seem to be in at the same time as a woman who only gets a colour on her hair, no highlights and her hair is not in good condition but she never gets a proper treatment on it, they stylists hate doing it but she insists. Even for my inbetween cuts, she always seems to be there.

I don`t speak to her as all she ever does is moan, but least she`s only in around 40 minutes.......I do love my salon time and I really like the stylist I have so it`s always a very nice experience. Not sure I need a full head doing this time, but I`ll get it anyway unless my stylist says different. Had full conditioning treatment every so often too.

But, apart from that not much today. Kyle is taking a half day from work and is coming over to have lunch together since it`s his dad`s birthday, he`ll enjoy the chocolate cake too although he won`t have too much as he is doing a fun run tonight somewhere with some friends.

Making my husband an early breakfast as I`ll be at the salon, he`s asked for bacon anything.......so, will rustle up some pancakes, bacon and I still have some Canadian Maple Syrup from a Farmer`s Market in Mount Dora, and of course a large pot of tea. We`ll do cards and presents this afternoon. And unapologetically some overly schmaltzy gifs today.......

Gonna spoil that man today ........Have a great Thursday too

[Lynne G]

A very happy birthday to Tom, Schumi’s DH.

And the heat is here. Hot and humid, 92 the high. Good reason to be thirsty today.

Hope your salon visit is nice today, Schumi. Was quiet most of my visit yesterday. Here, many don’t go right before the dinner hour, mid week. Which is now when I prefer my visits. Usually I’m the only one, or there’s one or two that arrive as I’m there.

And so, once I get over this week day routine, and thank goodness I turned my alarm off. While I may be up still early enough tomorrow, I will certainly be in that relaxing mode. See a week off, needed a shorter one to ease back. At least one more year closer to retirement. Yay. But for now, my tea is hot, I’m in week day mode, and glad my home has a house AC. While almost cool this morning, but the sky is clear, so a beautiful sunny start we had. But the clouds are a coming, so should be a warmer start tomorrow. Still will be hot and humid tomorrow, but tomorrow will bring that it’s so humid, a thunderstorm breaks out. Not today through. Time to sweat. But my kinda Summer weather.

Thirsty Thursday all. A great day for a birthday too. Woot!

[Robo56]

Good Thursday morning everyone

Careful there as to having that side face neighbors. Here, we follow UBC uniform building code (plus some more restrictions). The ‘good side’ of fences has to face Street or neighboring property.

Even when no complaints filed, when I sold real estate had several closings where sellers had to reverse their older fences ( no grand fathering in) in order to get occupancy permit issued

We live in the county so city codes would not apply to us. We would look into county codes before the fence went up if needed.

Hopefully we won’t need to put the fence up if things stay quiet.

Have been on antibiotics since Monday surgery and i usually respond well to them and hopeful I will be back to normal soon

Mac sorry to hear you are having issues with your back. Hopefully the doc is able to get you fixed up and the antibiotics take care of any infection.

You have HHN to look forward to coming up.

What is normal anyway....and do we really want to be normal.....I prefer to be different.....lol.....

Yep, normal is overrated. Always good to be your original self.

How fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to do a park trip with my sisters. Sadly, I don't think any of them would like to do that. The youngest one maybe, but my middle sister, wouldn't step foot in a park. I hope your time with little J was fun. And your neighbor - some people....wow, wow, wow.

Thank you Pumpkin. Little J and I had a great time yesterday. He is a busy little toddler. He loves to build things. He has a magnetic building set he loves to build things with.

My younger sister likes the parks too. She is a Disney fan, but likes Universal too. If she is able to come along on this trip I might have to look into MNSSHP for her. Not sure on the dates or if it would work, but I would look into it if she decides to come along.



Am now having nice looking hair. Decided to make an appointment just 4 days before my September trip. Enjoy my visits to the hair salon.

Lynne glad to hear your salon appointment went well. Always nice to have your hair the way you want it.


Carole enjoy your hair salon time.


Happy Birthday to Your hubby Tom. May he have many more happy birthdays.

Sending some minions to help you all celebrate.










Sending a shout out to all the Sans family who are not posting much or who don’t post anymore. Tink, Soniam, Patty, Lori, Tinyd, RFF, Buckeev and many more. Hope you all are well.



Get out and celebrate whatever it is that makes you happy today everyone. Have a great Thursday.

 

[keishashadow]

Checkups went well today, couldnt dodge pneumonia shot. New type only need one at least Both told good show , vaccine & sent on our merry way…with orders for testing, vaccine new RXs clutched in our hot ‘lil hands lol.

Carole -A very Happy Birthday to the Mr have a great time celebrating (for days)

woman who only gets a colour on her hair, no highlights and her hair is not in good condition but she never gets a proper treatment on it, they stylists hate doing it but she insists. Even for my inbetween cuts, she always seems to be there.

It amazes me how many woman skip even a basic daily conditioning, that easy yet oh-so-essential part of hair care.

Don’t get me started on those who pay $$$ for salon services yet either don’t deep condition first at home or refuse to pay a few extra bucks at the salon to have it added to color

At least one more year closer to retirement

Is there an official countdown in place?

Get out and celebrate whatever it is that makes you happy today everyone.

I like the way that sounds

 

[Pumpkin1172]

It's Thursday and I can see the weekend now Thank goodness lol

Beautiful hot day here for us again. No walk last night. I donned my hairdresser hat again last night. I cut dh and older ds. I told ds that I am now charging him for his haircuts. His payment is for him to cook 2 supper/dinner meals. As long as he tells me what groceries he needs, I will make sure that they are in the house for him to cook. I also told youngest ds that his payment for haircuts is also 2 cooked meals. I think that's a pretty good trade of services. Other than that, not much else to report.

I'm thinking of only working a half day tomorrow. We are heading back to the city this weekend. Dh's family is having a golf tournament/small family reunion on Saturday, and also dd has asked for some help packing up their house as they are moving next week. So we will do some packing, and visiting family. Dh is working all day, so no escaping working early to head out early. With travelling last weekend, this weekend, and we are also travelling next weekend as well to do some camping with dd and friends. Lots of travelling for the next little bit, but I love it. Winter comes too soon and then we don't travel as much once that white stuff hits the ground.

I haven`t seen any pumpkin spice here yet

I just seen a local eatery has pumpkin spice lattes and I want to I actually hate pumpkin spice anything, just not for me.

I have my usual 3 and a half hour hair appointment this morning.......I always seem to be in at the same time as a woman who only gets a colour on her hair, no highlights and her hair is not in good condition but she never gets a proper treatment on it, they stylists hate doing it but she insists. Even for my inbetween cuts, she always seems to be there.

I hope that appointment went great. That is reason # 13987432847 why I don't want to return to the trade. Nope, nope, nope, you couldn't pay me enough to work behind the chair again.

While I may be up still early enough tomorrow, I will certainly be in that relaxing mode. See a week off, needed a shorter one to ease back.

I agree, a shorter work week when returning from holidays is definitely needed!!!!

Checkups went well today

Great to hear. I have some appointment for checkups coming as well.

Well, I should attack some of these papers and shuffle more papers around. Those spreadsheets don't complete themselves.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

@schumigirl Happiest Birthday wishes to Tom

 

[Lynne G]

Glad to hear you are normal, Keisha. Yep, started with 10 year plan, now 8 years. DH, just realized, he may be able to retire in another year or two. I told him, do it. Told him to make an appointment with retirement person, to see what the options are. But for me, I do have a date in mind. Hopefully, meaning when my kids are fully on their own. And home body, older one, I expect to live closer to us. Little one? May be further North. She likes the cold. Sigh. And I thought I’d have a Florida kid. Oh well.

Soup and grilled cheese. My little one made me and her lunch. Was fine, and a pickle for me. Like the sourness of the pickle with the cheese of the sandwich.

 

[schumigirl]

happy birthday to Tom !!
He is king of the day!

lol.....thanks, that`s funny as the card Kyle sent him mentions him being the King of the home, but everyone knows the Queen rules the roost........lol....how true!!!

Good Thursday morning everyone

Yes!!! Being original is worth so much more......I like being me!!! And yes, salon time is a real treat!

Carole -A very Happy Birthday to the Mr have a great time celebrating (for days)View attachment 697038

It amazes me how many woman skip even a basic daily conditioning, that easy yet oh-so-essential part of hair care.

Don’t get me started on those who pay $$$ for salon services yet either don’t deep condition first at home or refuse to pay a few extra bucks at the salon to have it added to color

Is there an official countdown in place?

I like the way that sounds

lol.....love that meme!! Very traditional. Do you know we have never seen Braveheart!!

Glad the overhaul went well, and yes, we follow your families style of celebrating...one day isn`t enough, think we`ll stretch this one out till Sunday....he`s worth it!!!!

Yes, no excuses for bad hair today. That lady I mentioned won`t let them put conditioner on her as she "doesn`t need it". Not sure what she sees in the mirror but we all see a dry birds nest. I love getting conditioning treatments and yes, daily or bi daily good conditioning is essential.

This woman is just tight....won`t part with anything.

It's Thursday and I can see the weekend now Thank goodness lol

Beautiful hot day here for us again. No walk last night. I donned my hairdresser hat again last night. I cut dh and older ds. I told ds that I am now charging him for his haircuts. His payment is for him to cook 2 supper/dinner meals. As long as he tells me what groceries he needs, I will make sure that they are in the house for him to cook. I also told youngest ds that his payment for haircuts is also 2 cooked meals. I think that's a pretty good trade of services. Other than that, not much else to report.

I'm thinking of only working a half day tomorrow. We are heading back to the city this weekend. Dh's family is having a golf tournament/small family reunion on Saturday, and also dd has asked for some help packing up their house as they are moving next week. So we will do some packing, and visiting family. Dh is working all day, so no escaping working early to head out early. With travelling last weekend, this weekend, and we are also travelling next weekend as well to do some camping with dd and friends. Lots of travelling for the next little bit, but I love it. Winter comes too soon and then we don't travel as much once that white stuff hits the ground.


I just seen a local eatery has pumpkin spice lattes and I want to I actually hate pumpkin spice anything, just not for me.

I hope that appointment went great. That is reason # 13987432847 why I don't want to return to the trade. Nope, nope, nope, you couldn't pay me enough to work behind the chair again.

I agree, a shorter work week when returning from holidays is definitely needed!!!!

Great to hear. I have some appointment for checkups coming as well.

Well, I should attack some of these papers and shuffle more papers around. Those spreadsheets don't complete themselves.

Have a great day everyone!

You have some lovely trips coming up Pumpkin.....sounds like a lot of fun. Yes, make the most of it while you can, its a long winter. And hope your daughter`s move goes well.

Yes, you couldn`t pay me enough to deal with women like that, they hate just putting a colour on her when she really needs a proper condition and highlight package. She`s also quite abrupt with the girls which I don`t like. And I hate mean people so I guess I`m not going to be on her Christmas card list either.....lol.....

Yes, no Pumpkin Spice for me either. Not a fan of those flavours.

@schumigirl Happiest Birthday wishes to Tom

Thanks Pumpkin, he had a lovely day.......







Was a busy day yesterday for tea making. Lots of folks popping in and out with cards and a seemingly endless dropping off of various stuff in bottles......lol...they know him so well!! Lots of lovely gifts for him though.

One of his favourites was a solid silver letter opener from Kyle....my idea, he stole my thunder.....lol......almost stabbed myself trying to hide it as he came upstairs as I was looking at it before it was wrapped.....lol......

Had copious amounts of prosecco too. Although someone gave us a case of champagne a while back, opened one of them last night too...well, would have been rude not to!

Sunrise is getting later and later now, stunning one this morning but feeling cooler again. Should be warmer by mid morning though.

Today, have a few things to go pick up and some shopping to do, haven`t thought about food yet for today except Tom has asked for Eggs Benedict for breakfast, well, of course.....I`ll have some toast with bacon.

Want to finish a book I`m reading, so that might be this afternoon taken care of.

Still love that Friday feeling........

It`s Friday, have fun!!​
