    tropical Wednesday chat

     blech! another day so wet and humid you can't see out the windows. Everything is wet and stinky. Sooooooooooo unusual for October here which is usually dry as a bone.

    Bugsy is loving the new beds, how do I know, he is on one of them nearly every time he lays down - prior to getting them he'd be sprawled out in the middle of your path.

    Went for a run this morning - felt like a hot July run - soaked afterward.

    Send some vibes out to my younger sister - very long story short - she is being interviewed for a 20/20 show - the whole family is, some might recall that due to some kids stuff some crazy woman was stalking them and making allegations. It was fairly high profile and being in the NY area I guess 20/20 was aware of it so want to use them for a story. Anyway poor baby sis is a wreck, she has a ton on her plate and is generally stressed. Calm vibes appreciated!

    OK off and running - have a good day all

    Karen, good vibes going out to your little sis.  Sorry your weather is so yucky.  We were in the upper 50's this morning and not too terrible on the humidity. 

    My desk looks like a bomb went off.  Hate it when I don't finish stuff the day before and it hits me in the face the next morning.

       I missed this - what kind of beds are they?

    Yikes, I don't think I'd be capable of an interview with 20/20... scary enough being on TV, let alone speaking about a personal matter, let alone for national television - especially thinking about how many people across the country have high definition televisions.  Skeery.  Good vibes for her.

    Sent off entries for a show in November because they have good judges and it's a small show.  We'll see if Gracie even feels up for it...  Will find out next weekend when she shows again.

    **yaaawwwnn*** I'm not awake yet.  How's everyone doing this morning?

    Tropical? Not even close.

    Speaking of dog beds, I found one, made in the US, for $20 at cabelas yesterday but I couldn't find anyone that worked there to answer a question about it so I passed. I am kind of regretting it. I really only have 1 dog bed in the house and lily claimed it.

    Calming vibes to your sis :)

    I got to sleep until 7:59. Very happy.

    I have a gazillion emails to get thru so i better get at it,

    Absolutely, calm vibes for your sister.

    Another gray and dreary day here today.  Blech.  I love autumn, but this year it's rather wet and gloomy.

    Oddly, despite the rain last night, Tylers candle remained lit until it completely burned itself out.

    Calming vibes for your sis, Karen.

    Send rain - we need it bad. We are getting a bit right now, but are definitely way behind.

       I missed this - what kind of beds are they?

     

    They are memory foam/orthopedic foam beds from Costco - I bought one for him last year when I saw it $22, it still looks new. So I've been on the lookout for them but I hadn't seen them since, until Saturday. Bought 2 of them - they went up to $24 Wink They are large, have lovely removable covers,  the foam is firm,  4-5 inches thick with a gentle egg crate pattern on top.  He doesn't - by choice - go on beds or furniture so I keep a bed in our bedroom, the tv room and in the sunroom. These have replaced some old cedar/poly fill beds that had gone lumpy (also Costco $20). The memory foam ones are better and larger than the ones I've seen for $50-80.  It pleases me to see him using them because I think it must feel good on his battle scarred body.

    Jackie I hate when my desk is like that too - I had to do a huge cleanup last night because it had gotten bad.

    OMG if I reminded my sister about HDTV she'd pass out. She got angry with her husband for not buying a new shirt and has texted me a zillion times this morning saying she can't find any good pictures (I guess family shots) Anyway she'll appreciate the vibes

    Julie and Jackie we are due for a swift turnaround in temps - I heard something about a high in the 50's on Sunday and into the 40's next week. Sounds good to me!!

    There was a horse on the loose in our 'hood yesterday - I didn't see it but heard plenty about it via our listserver and friends. I wasn't sure if it had made it down to our end............my guess is it did. I took B for our 1/2 mile walk and soon after leaving our driveway his nose hit the pavement and stayed there other than to look up and scan the horizon for whatever he was tracking. Having seen him near a horse I have a strong feeling that is what he was tracking. Goofball

    Calming vibes for your Sis, Karen.  I have noticed that Hot has been a little slower getting up since the temp have cooled down.  He never gets on the furniture and sleeps in several places depending on where people are.  I am thinking I should get him one of those beds.  Dont have a Costco so I will have to shop around.

    It was 45 degrees here this morning may get in the mid thirties over the weekend. We really need rain, may also get some of that on Friday.  I am going to have to bring my plants in, ugh, I am not quite ready for  it.   I will have to clean that room, which is full of stuff from another room that I cleaned....ahhhhhh Calgon take me away!

    Got to get with it, Have a good day all!

    Karen - Vibes for your sister.

    Jan - smiling vibes for Willa.

    Just got back from RIley's appt. at U of M.  It's official there will be NO steriod shots/or pills.  The inflamation is gone.  Whoo Hoo Happy Dance.  Although she was an absolute HOT MESS at the docs.  She wouldn't let them take her temp or blood pressure.  She is still pretty cranky from being sick and had to be dragged out of bed before dawn this AM.

    Working from home this afternoon to listen to a 4 HOUR conference call.  I am going to have to hook myself up to a battery or something to keep from falling asleep!

    oh my gosh Lisa, that is awesome news!!! I'm so happy for you guys. Those riding lessons probably did the trick Wink

    One more day of mid 90s and then we're going to finally be in the 80s for the next few days. I can't wait!! The idea of having the doors or windows open at night is making me giddy. Big Smile

    Story of the newswoman criticized for her weight is really bugging me....Super Angry

    WOOOHOOO!!  I bet the docs were happy, too, considering her described behavior this morning. lol  Poor girl - she's gonna HATE doctors when she is grown up enough to make the choices for herself.  You just remind her that the doctors are who helped her have a better quality of life... oh, and HER MOMMA!!!!!
