Daily Check In Thread For All... #162

Karen- My bladder feels awesome, it's my monthly that is killing. Cramps, tummy upset, just blah! I don't want these anymore. Lol

Myself- I am so sorry about Goose. Take it easy and hug your other fur babies

Jaime- I hope you are sleeping and have a good day when you wake up.

Karen- I wanted mine to be over! Lol I am glad that you don't have to deal with this anymore.

Chilly and wet here today. I messed up and had a soda yesterday. Anxiety is mid level and stomach was burning. No more. I am done!

I just found out that mom's uncle died of brain cancer this morning, so sad for mom.

Allergies are giving me heck! Ugh! I can't seem to win to lose lately. Lol

More later.

HT- Stay strong my friend it will get better soon.We all love and care about you.

Thank you HT

Hello all

Karen- I am glad you have been outside. Umping is a huge game decider! I don't like umps who don't know what they are doing.


Well me, mom and my aunt had a tummy bug this past week and we were hoping no one else got it, well my niece got it last night. Poor baby girl. She has the tummy side where none of us did. I feel so bad. With only one bathroom we can't contain this garbage.

I am also messed up from my antibiotics still, but getting better.

I am so tired from this antibiotics around. I get dizzy easily as well, so I have to rest myself. So now I am anxious and tired.

I can't wait for this to pass in my house. So we can get back to normal.

Probably wont get out as much today, thunderstorms predicted. I was hoping we could get by with just the rain.

Dawn... I hope you all feel better from the tummy bug. I know how nasty that can be. I am glad you are getting better from the antibiotics. It is not much fun feeling anxious.

HT... Glad you got a new gate. I am glad it looks nice. That is always nice.

Have a great day all!!!

Hugs, Karen...

PS Jasmine tried her thundershirt I got her last night when it was thundering. Seems to help. She was a lot calmer...

Hi everyone.

Trina , I am so very sorry that you lost Gooseman. I worry about loosing Lupin more than I worry about anything. I just can't imagine
that I will be able to keep...... So sorry Trina.

Hi Jamie, I'm glad things are turning around for the better for you.

Dawn, I want to thank you and getting by for your support and your
positive feedback on my Effexor taper. I am surprised that I am not
having a difficult time with this....at least not yet. I see my doctor
tomorrow and expect that I will be dropping anouther 37.5 mg of
Effexor from my meds. That will put me at exactly 1/2 of what I was
at when I started the taper ( I was at 300mg for years and years ,
and tomorrow I will be at 150 - I'm at 187.5 now and for the last
2 ~ 3 weeks ). All of this is a bit strange , because I seem less depressed than when I was maxed out at 300mg for all those years.

My catnip has passed on to that great big pasture in the sky. I've
looked at the plant closely scince it died a few days ago, and it looks to my ( admittedly untrained ) eyes that the instructions were incorrect. The instructions said to lay the seeds on the surface and
to not cover them with soil. Well , when I look at the sad remains, it
appears that the plants never achieved roots. I think the seeds should have been at least 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep to give the seeds
" purchase " . My thoughts are that as the seeds sprouted , the spouts only pushed the seeds up from the ground, instead of working there way into the soil. Do any of you greenthumbs have
any ideas about what might have gone awry? Just curious. I may try again...

Anyways, it looks like a beautiful day outside, so I will be getting out for a walk today ! I think the only chore I have on my list is
to change Lupins litter. Pretty good day ahead!

Cheers all
Derwood.

Hi Karen.

Yes, I know that I can ( do ) buy catnip at the store , but I just thought
that it might be a fun experiment, and that it might give Lupin something fresh to chew upon during the winter months. Nothing ventured ; nothing gained

Lupin was already out once ( last week ) for a few minutes, but it was a chilly day and she was back inside quicker than you can say " Jack Sprat sat for a chat ". With the weather warming up, I expect she will
want out her usual 2 or 3 times per day.

She never goes far, she comes when I call , and most of all she LOVES to chew on some grass every day.


BTW- for those who have never had a cat ; cats regularly chew on
grass as it aids their digestive tract somehow. Veterinarian endorsed

So I may just grab a few grass seeds and plant them in the little plastic greenhouse. That way Lupin can have a midnight munch if she pleases.

Most of all, thanks for your input Karen

Scott grass seed works well in taracotta pots. Cheap and works well,. Be cautious to get PLAIN grass seed with northing added! same with potting soil.

If you have nesting hawks or such birds be careful with Lupin outside. We have 3 pairs of nesting hawks, a few yrs ago, one tried to pick Goose up, but he was just a little to heavy to carry and of course the other 2 dogs ran to his rescue while I was yelling on my way also.

Myself it is nice that your have a working schedule for teaching and self time.

Dawn hope everyone feels better soon.

Derwood, and everyone else thanks for all your compassionate words. It means so much to me.
Gooseman was a special little guy.

Peace
Trina

Thanks for the greenhouse tip. I missed that in your 1st post.
My bad. I'll be checking at the greenhouses once they are up and
in operation ( not for a little while in this area ). And , I'm also going to grow some grass for her.

We have a nice sunny day here ; still a bit cool , but the snow is
all gone except in the wooded areas - thumbs up !

Peace all.

PS - Jasmine is an awesome name

hi.

hi, well I'm not doing any better,in fact a lot worse,i passed out at my therapist office,i had to put my little dog to sleep,lungs filled up with fluid,been crying nonstop since last Friday,went to doctor day after I passed out,and doctor says if was anxiety ,and the Zoloft I was on ,so I changed over to celexa,hope this one works,dont know if I can go on much longer,please pray for me,thanks jon.

Jon , I feel your hurt. I will pray for you. If you have family that you get along with ( not all do ) then perhaps try to spend time with them. Maybe tell them how badly you are hurting, even if it makes you cry. Sometimes we have to cry.

If you don't have a family ( that are loving and supportive) stay in touch with us, here , on the dayly check in.

I WILL pray for you. Period.
