Hi Kids!

Deegee, that’d be great to get your own beachfront house. You’d be popular too. I am glad Ruby enjoyed herself too. What a nice gift for your mom. I am anxiously waiting for my laptop to show up. There are many options for you to choose from. How is your eye doing? I’ve had eyelashes get caught under my eyelid before. It’s very uncomfortable. You had a long day at the office. Those last few days will race by - and drag - before the big day.

Dee Jay, I hope you are feeling better today. Do you plan on helping out that estate lady all the time? You get a sneak peak ahead of time before the estate sale. I wish there’d been an estate sale business in town when we cleaned out my parents house. I see ads for them now.

My test results were okay. The thyroid was a little high on one side and a little low on the other - so basically no change from before. He didn’t run a full blood work - which I thought was surprising - but had two things just a bit low or high so the results were listed as blood chemistry okay. I did have an incident last night though. My right knee is in awful shape and has been clicking for quite a while and kind of giving out on me when I’m just standing. I was getting some water out of the fridge door and it collapsed on me and I feel on my butt - at least I had a padded landing. I am sore today but don’t think I did any serious damage. I do see a bruise on my right foot and up my right leg. Guess I need to see a doctor about that.

I worked most of the day but did venture out to get my BP bills from Walgreens. I decided to go through their pharmacy drive-up. I didn’t want to do a face plant in the store if I had to stand in line.

Laters,
Curby

marcy-oh no for your knee incident! I hope your foot and leg are okay. Have you had shots in your knee? I know that won’t help the stability though. That happened to mom a few years ago while she was in her garden and none of us were there. And she didn’t have her phone. Luckily I had put a lawn chair in the garden, so she was able to use it as a crutch to get back to the house. She was all set for another knee replacement, but then she hurt her back really bad and had to have surgery, then a hip replacement where she ended up with complications. She’s 87 and she said no more surgeries, but I know her knee is a mess. Good idea to go through the drive up for your prescriptions.

I woke up yesterday with a migraine so I ended up taking the morning off and working from home in the afternoon and today. I have a hair appointment in a few hours. I always feel like my hair is yellow/gold. She promised last time she added something to tone that down, but I’m not seeing a difference. I’ve even been using purple shampoo. I think she has decided what color I’m going to get and that’s that! Have a great day!

Hi Kids!

Deegee, I have not tried the shots in my knees. I’m allergic to so many things, I don’t do injections. Your poor mom, sounds like everything hit her at once. I get reaching a point where you say you are done with surgery. I’ve worn some compression knee sleeves for most of the day yesterday and today, it seems to help a bit but that knee is shot. My right foot is slightly agitated, but not all the time. I lifted this afternoon and keep imagining doing a face plant on the bar. Luckily, I didn’t.

I hope your migraine is better. I agree many hair stylists seem to have a mind of their own, no matter what you tell them you want. I’ve even taken in pictures before and it didn’t help.

Not much going on here. My new laptop got delivered to our old address. I’m guessing Marty’s online Apple account doesn’t have our new address. Luckily, the guy who bought our house called Marty to let him know. I can’t blame Marty for missing that, I did it once myself since we moved here. We get our new recliners tomorrow. We only paid a deposit so far, so I am rather surprised they didn’t call us and say come pay the balance before we deliver them. Maybe they’ll collect the check tomorrow.

My old laptop is copying things over to my new laptop now. It is nice and big compared to the 14”. It weighs about 5 pounds. I’ll be carrying that with two hands, not because it’s 5 pounds, but because I have tiny hands and it’s well established I am a klutz.

We had some clear skies tonight so I got this shot of the moon. Then clouds moved in. Darn.

Take care.

Hi Kids!

We had a nice weekend. Marty ran to Denver and bought a used mount for telescopes. He got home, took the other mount apart, removed the cameras and scope, started to install the new one then realized he didn’t have the necessary plate for the new mount to hold his telescope. Oops. So he put the old one back in place and ordered the plate. That night I got one picture taken with my toy but I couldn’t connect with it anymore. The wind apparently knocked the WiFi router off the wall in there. It doesn’t have a restart or power on option in its software, so I went to bed. Marty got it restarted the next day.

I did some work both days this weekend so I took off work early today and got my lifting done before 3:15. Yay. Then I hauled several bags of trash out to the dumpster. They were piling up in the garage and the tall guy was ignoring them.

We are having lovely weather for a few days. It got over 80 today. It’s like spring has finally arrived.

Take care.

Here’s my only picture. This is Messier 13 - or the Hercules Globular star cluster. And there’s a distant galaxy on the left. The weather for tonight looks promising.

Happy Monday kids!

Deegee, do you have a calendar up in your office that you're putting big red Xs on as the days tick by?! Let me and Curby know when our rooms are ready at your new beach house.

Curby, it hit 80 here today and I was HOT when I went to the post office. How are the new recliners? Liam mentioned over dinner again tonight that the big leather sectional in the family room is worn out. Ugh. I can feel some furniture shopping in the near future...

Well I had a miserable trip to Connecticut. The pollen was at a level I've never even conceived it. My sinuses slammed shut the instant I got off the plane and I sneezed so much I was sure my eyeballs where just going to pop out of my head. It's really not much better here at The North Estate right now either. #springsucks

I've been doing some catch-up on laundry and house stuff, and I need to get a bunch of accounting done too. Plus, for the first time in ages, I haven't been putting listings up. No idea if that's why my sales are slow or if it's just the state of consumer shopping in general.

Yesterday I bit the bullet and upgraded my phone. My old one was an 11 and I got it right before I went on Safari in 2019. The whole process was just miserable and I was there for about four hours. By the time I left there I was just Over The Whole Thing. This is why I only upgrade my phone about once ever five years! I haven't even tried to take a picture with the new phone yet so I hope the camera is good for my needs.

Not much else to report. Gotta go switch some laundry from the washer to the dryer for my last official act of the day.
