Feeling lazy this morning.
My kids have this week off so I’m slowly drinking my coffee thinking of all the chores I have.
Some sort of spring vacation for schools? Schools here only had Monday off.

The thing about chores is they'll wait for you. And don't worry, no one else will take away your fun. Like the RF tortoise at the pet store, the chores will still be there when you're ready for them!

Hope everyone is having a good Weds!
I'm going stir crazy here!!
I'm even nervous about going out in the garden at the moment while I'm here on my own in case I fall or can't get back in.
There are couple of small steps I would have to manoeuver and I'm not sure my left foot could take the pain of hopping up and down them.
Thank goodness for the internet!

Our schools have a week off for half term either this week or next.
I miss the kids and the staff in school - not missing the work though!!

Being incapacitated would never be a problem for me. I love to read. I have some pretty good jigsaw puzzles on my Kindle, and playing with those find-the-hidden-object apps keeps me entertained too. I'm basically lazy and look for any old excuse to sit around and do nothing.

Well I have finally caught up. Lots going on, in the CDR of late. Snow, glamping, road trips, new redfoots (or potentially new redfoots). So much fun and games. I have been busy with auditors, we have them here for this week and probably next week as well.

And yesterday was my husbands and My anniversary. 25years. I know there are lots of you with many more years, however I am quite proud of the fact that we are still together and happy. Other than that, i have been watching my favorite program (Star Trek voyager) I am still on season 6 so only one more season to go and then on to the next star trek series. It helps with getting my mind to switch off from my work.

anyway going to be leaving the office shortly so will chat later.

Happy anniversary to Carol and Stephen! 25 years is a big number! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Cold, about 5 or 6 inches of snow on the ground. We sorted through about 30 or pictures in frames that we never unwrapped from our last move. Removing pix, stacking frames. I’m about to put a box of 25 “good” picture frames on Craigs list.

Ok, true confessions. wifey was doing most of the unwrapping and sorting, and I was working on our new bowl.

Bottom is pretty much done, it’s now been flipped around to enable the the removal of the inside wood.

Our district has “ski week” plus, in April we get spring break.

Thanks so much, Carol. :):<3:

After 3 days at the vet's, Jacques is suddenly much better although they did no treatment and her labs all came back normal! :confused:
They have no idea what happened to leave her on her back in her tank in 5 inches of water: too weak to right herself or reach the surface and with her entire body puffed up and protruding from her shell.
Although I'm glad she's better, I'm left wondering WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED and will it happen again?
If we have no idea what happened, we have no way of preventing it from happening again. o_O
I wish I could just relax and be grateful, but now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop...:(

It’s very distressing, Bea. :(

Last one!
We ride out to the Jeep training center and watched this guy trying to maneuver through this obstacle course his wife was so calm and collected I would’ve freaked out.
We watch for an hour but he finally got thru with a little help from a friend.

I don’t know how they’ll get over this experience...

That's made me laugh!
I love it!
When my nephew was young he was asked on a SAT paper what the flat teeth at the fromt of the mouth were for.
His answer - for smiling with!
He was also asked on another occasion to give an emergency contact number - he gave 999!

Brilliant! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
