Saturday Mindless Chat

Hi Paige!!! Guess we were posting at the same time - I'll copy mine here and delete the other one.

hope Gracie's lameness is nothing to worry about. That must be so scary.

Enjoying having all the blinds and windows open on this gorgeous morning. Chilly but sunny. Shane has a ton of energy, so I think I need to get him out for a walk. It's amazing to see the difference in how he's been feeling the last couple days. Still has a bit of diarrhea but hopefully the flagyl will do it's job soon.

DH didn't sleep much last night. I feel so awful for him and there really isn't anything I can say to help. He keeps looking stuff up in his books to see if he got a question right. Most of the time he has but there's an entire area (hydraulics) that he thinks he bombed :(

On top of not getting much sleep because DH was up, someone called at 5 AM. They hung up, so I'm sure it was a wrong number but since I knew DH was leaving for work soon, I got up. I'm definitely going to need a nap today.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday!!

Absolutely beautiful here today.  I so enjoy this type of weather

Cathy, fingers crossed that your DH passed the test and will soon be promoted.  And, so glad to hear that Shane is feeling better.

Fingers crossed that Grace is fully recovered and that the missing dog is soon home with his family.

We're going to go for a drive today to get out of the house and do something different.  Other than that, just gonna be lazy.

Hope everyone enjoys their day!

Paige, good luck trapping the missing dog.  Feral cats never get in traps unless you don't want them to. :(  I hope Gracie's lameness continues to improve.  Hope you get to go to the fair.

Cathy, waiting for test results is the pits.  Sending calming vibes to your DH.  I'm jealous of your cool weather.  Warm and humid here.  

Rex went to the vet this morning to get an NSAID panel done.  He wanted to say hello to every human, dog and cat that walked in the door.  lol  Not every one of those wanted to say hi to him so I kept him sitting.  A woman came in with an adorable Weim puppy.  I couldn't help myself and went over to visit for a minute.  Too much cuteness. :)

We're off the the farmers market as soon as DH gets ready.  He's slower than molasses. The local CIA location has a BBQ team and they're cooking on the outdoor pit today at the market and giving free samples.  They always have very inventive sides to go with the great Q so I hope they don't run out before we get there. *drumming fingers impatiently*

Later I've got plenty of chores to do but those can wait.  

Oooh, that BBQ sounds delicious, Jackie!  Wish you could beam some to me here!

Cathy and Glenda, you guys are having the kind of weather I adore this time of year, but which we rarely see in these parts.  Autumn is just not a "proper autumn" in the PNW.

As for the flooding, they've got warnings all over the place on the news like it's the end of the world -- announcing where sand bags can be obtained, where to watch for standing water, what events are cancelled, etc.  Our neighborhood will be fine since we're up on a big hill, but there are several streets in town that will likely have standing water.  My friend and I have to drive to Portland for the Hanson concert; I'm dreading the drive in this weather.  I'd appreciate some safe drive vibes, if you can spare them.

Both Oregon State and Univ of Oregon have home football games today -- I know several people who are going.  It'll be miserable in those stands, unless you have covered seats.  DH was invited by our neighbor, but he declined.  He'll be much happier watching the game at home on TV, warm and dry with Ruby curled next to him.

Paige, I hope Gracie's lameness is cleared up fully soon, and I sure hope they find that lost dog.  That's a long time to be missing.  He must be eating somehow?  Poor thing.

Cathy, I feel bad for your DH having to wait for test results.  Hopefully it'll be like it often is with tests:  you think you did poorly, but you end up doing great. 

Edited to add local time:  9:46am PST

Good thoughts for your concert tonight Tracy. I wish I could send you some or our gorgeous weather.

Laid down to take a nap and hadn't been asleep 10 min's and UPS rang the doorbell. Oh well, I'll sleep good tonight. I'm going to bake some cookies later and I have a lot of good stuff on the DVR tonight. The backyard is calling me to spend time out there while it's still nice.

Paige hope you make it to the fair or have already been. Hope Gracie gets over her lameness okay.

Cathy glad to hear that Shane is coming along okay. Poor hubby having to wait for the test results. Sending positive vibes his way for him to have passed the test.

Trust that you had a safe trip to the concert in Portland Tracy. I Don't blame your husband for wanting to stay home from the game. He can probably see it better from his couch all toasty warm and dry..

Glenda hope you had a nice drive. I your weather was anything like ours it was a beautiful day for one. I only took a short drive into town. Leaves here are starting to change quite a lot. Lot of green left too though. It won't be long. Love the fall but don't like what comes after it.

GET HOME VIBES FOR THE LOST DOGS.
