It’s my birthday today!! I’m 35! I like getting older so far- minus the grey hairs and this cavity. 
 

Today my Mom and I are going to the spa (masked of course), I’m getting my semi annual color, and a massage. And then we are meeting my god mother for lunch. My sister’s caregiver agreed to work today(she’s being paid extra) so we could have the day out. 
 

I’m thankful for another year of being healthy & well, and for you guys. You’ve been such a comfort during this pandemic. 

Hoping you are having a great day!!

Happy Birthday @Scarlett45.

Happy Birthday, Scarlett!

I've been thinking about our group hug for Lookey and family.  How about noon tomorrow wherever you are?  Lookey is on EST I believe, but we can do it in rolling fashion across the time zones in hopes of giving her an entire afternoon of comfort.

The idea is to take a 5 minute break from whatever you're doing.  Light a candle, play some music, dance, sing, pray.  Do anything that makes you feel good and send those good vibes to our friend Lookey and sweet son.  We can do it every day if we want.  We can include all of our friends here who've been going through rough times of late.  Lifting Up Lookey is our mantra.

[crazycatlady58]

I'm in. I'll have to Lift up Lookey a little before 12 because that's when I open the store but I definitely will be sending g good thoughts and prayers. 

[Happyfatchick]

So sweet, Doodle.  I’m in.  

@Scarlett45, I saw your post today and answered immediately - but I guess I never hit post as I don’t see it now.  I guess I’m a little superstitious too - I feel like if you don’t do “happy birthday” before, or at least early, it doesn’t count.  So YOU may not be upset, but I am.  Poo!!!

i hope you had a great day!  
what I actually said earlier was that - even though you haven’t kept your age a secret - your wisdom and balance (is that chakra?) make you seem older.  Not in a bad way - in a feet-firmly-planted kinda way.  But not so wise you would refuse birthday cake I hope!!

Thank y’all so much. Today has been rough because of the side effects of the procedure. We have been in contact with the dr who gives all his patients his cell phone Number and then answers it. I will set my phone to ping at noon and will try and be holding sweet son’s hand then and we will feel it. 💖💖

@doodlebug, I love the idea of our little group lifting @lookeyloo together. She is in my thoughts so much,  and I hope we can all give her and her sweet son some comfort.

Answering for Lookey, she and sweet son are in EST. However, even if you can't send a prayer and a good wish then, do it anytime.  Think of it as a echo or like ripples on a pond.

Catching up a bit...the joys of being an accountant at month end. Sending hugs, prayers, and good thoughts to @lookeyloo and Sweet Son today.

I'm going to go ahead and do my Happy Sunday now, since I don't know if I'll be back on later. Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary. A remarriage for both of us, and our previous marriages were...not good. So we're very aware of what we have in each other.

[iwantcookies]

Good news Sunday: 

 

I am off to buy a big heater. I am sitting inside with 2 layers on shivering. No bueno. 

Also yesterday little kids in my building were making fun of me and I did not yell at them. Yay me.

Found an unlocked cell phone and returned it to a very grateful owner! Got $8 reward and everything.

Cat hoodie ! It’s hilarious! I don’t know if it’s a joke or for real.

Missed 12 pm, but thinking of you and your son now, lookey.

Thank you everyone. Turns out I couldn’t hold his hand because we took him to the ER around 10:30 for a procedure to help pain and mr lookeyloo and sweet son’s husband and I are waiting for him outside. It wasn’t easy leaving him at the door. Luckily the ER isn’t busy. Greatly appreciate all the support and prayers and vibes.

@lookeyloo many hugs and good vibes

[On the Bias]

@lookeyloo, closed my eyes at noon my time and again at noon your time; summoned up calm and healing and release from pain.  Hoping the procedure that he endured this morning will bring him relief. 

[crazy8s]

so again it is positive news sunday  and this sunday many of our positive thoughts are with @lookeyloo,.

but what has been good this week for you all?

[DangerousMinds]

I am enjoying my schadenfreude right now. Can’t say anymore! 🤣

[crazycatlady58]

Happy again for beautiful weather and I am in less discomfort than I was yesterday.

I had to google schadenfreude. I thought it was a German dish ! 

[crazycatlady58]

@iwantcookies, the best thing you can do when someone makes fun of you is ignore them but what I used to do is give a big smile and wave and say..Have a nice day! Confuses the heck out of them.

[Mindthinkr]

My good news Sunday was I mentioned that I was hungry for Taco Bell. A friend dropped off two taco supremes and even remembered that I love lots of the hot sauce. That small act of kindness gave me so much joy. 

[crazy8s]

positive news here is we ordered new windows this week, the ones we have are 34 yrs old, moldy and many ice up inside on cold days. it is a crazy amount of money to replace them and estimated delivery/install date is new years eve. so in Jan. in Michigan we are having windows replaced and after that I can never again scrape ice off the inside of the bedroom windows

I did some serious cleaning in our home office/den yesterday and today I'm sitting in a bright, sunny and extremely clean room, with a sliver of cool air coming through the window.

I just realized my good news Sunday post last week, was about a clean porch. ✨ Me thinking I need to get a life.

[CherryMalotte]

Thinking of you both lookeyloo.

Nah. That’s just life in 2020 under Covid.

My good news is that PupWiser hopefully will not require a second surgery, as the walloping infection in his incision site is healing up nicely on the antibiotics. (Since it’s supposed to be only good news I will spare you my sheer panic that my vet is leaving the state...he’s incredibly good with both my nervous boys, lets me inject their vaccines and will swap vet stories with me until they drag him into his next appointment. I saw him three times this week trying to cram everything in with both dogs before his last day and it was all I could do not to throw myself at his ankles and beg him not to do this to me. Yes, I was pathetic. I cried in the car, FFS.)

Other than that, I continue to cling to our 2020 Motto: Ain’t broke, ain’t sick. 
Hugs all around...

[MargeGunderson]

I had the last round of interviews for a new job, and they went well. I have a call with the HR recruiter on Tuesday. Still not 100% I want the job/want to leave my current job, but I do want to hear what the compensation package is. Also, I’m on sabbatical now through Nov. 2. I have a long list of things I want to do. Most of it is baking/cooking, and some of it is organizing projects.

I know how you feel. My favorite doctor left too. Too far away to go see her now. I’m in mourning it’s like she died.
