Well, hello all. I just got cough up. Been off the web for a couple days, new computer and trying to fix our nations web site ( United Eastern Lenape Nation). So I have been busy. Love all your post. And, still trying to get things together for my rescue!
Glad to see that you are back and in one piece. We want pics for the rescue please. [emoji3]

A very brief post to let you know I exist. I have had an awful week and am on antibiotics for bronchitis. I wish I could say I felt better, but I have to finish the course.

Just to add to my misery, I fell over in the shower this morning and bashed my head hard on the wall. I am so glad JoesDad is working from home today.

Wow.. it’s good to see that you exist but horrible for it to be under such strenuous circumstances! Those antibiotics must be a clencher.. forced to take them along with the side effects[emoji20] Stay in bed and stay safe! I sure hope you feel better extra quick. This is enough of all the sickness! Good thoughts, warm hugs, and an extra Hot toddy for you!

Oh no Linda.
I am sorry to read that things have not picked up for you. Hopefully you have a hard head and managed to not do too much damage. Take it easy and rest. We will be here waiting for when you feel better to come back. Big Electronic hugs.

Yesterday both of my children had dentist appointments, so afterwards we went by the pet store. They had a gorgeous mature red foot. Shocking to me, as I have never seen one here before. EVER....anyway, my son noticed him first.. out of all the other animals, and he was very adamant that we needed to bring “this guy” home.. I didn’t get him but it was driven home to me that my little one definitely has the Tortoise Bug...:). Knowing that the red foot is there is driving me crazy though. Naturally, the pet store has him in a goldfish size aquarium [emoji35] I don’t have any indoor room left for an enclosure right now though... I’m mentally screaming inside[emoji37]

Must be Friday as there is not much action here, except for in Linda's shower. There was too much action going on there, but don't worry her superhero is at home to handle it.[emoji6]
@Kristoff how are you feeling? Still under the weather I presume [emoji26] Here is an umbrella to help you [emoji385] [emoji299]
Mark is either kayaking, collecting wood, buying food for Sully or going for a walk. [emoji570]
@Lynw how is it being at home? Are you able to get around and is Lola happy to be back home? [emoji217]
Noel I am waiting for today's joke. Rather looking forward to it. [emoji102]
Anne any new antics from the cat-mittee? And of course my favorite dragon.[emoji250] [emoji244]
Heather have you managed to mostly paint yourself and son ? Oh and of course the planks too! [emoji375] [emoji373]
@Bee62 how is your little dog adjusting to it's new home? [emoji190]
Yvonne have you gone for your laps yet or is it still too cold? [emoji148] [emoji149] [emoji148] [emoji149] [emoji148] [emoji149]
Kathy I am getting withdrawal symptoms, I need more updated pics of that beautiful pond of yours. [emoji228] [emoji226] [emoji225]
Cheryl please can we have a pic or two of those really cute babies you have got? I haven't had my cuteness dose today yet. [emoji217] [emoji217]
From my side unfortunately the sun came out and I did not see that rain. Was very disappointing. [emoji274]

Oh shame. It is always the hardest thing to do...saying no.

Lol. Talk to Anne, I think she has the same problem. But hers is a dragon.[emoji33]
I have metal screen lids on top of both tanks. Most of the novelty for the cats has worn off with the bearded dragon, although he still gets the occasional visitor curling up on top of the tank. It's difficult for the cats to access, as there is nowhere besides the floor to use as a launch point to get to the top of the tank. Only the best feline jumpers can land on the top of the tank.

The mud turtle tank, 20 gallon long, is on a dresser in our bedroom, and that one is much easier for the cats to access. I'm okay if they get on top of the jewelry box next to the tank to watch the turtles (mainly Bold). However, I'm vehement about keeping them off the screen lid. The metal screen lid for a 20 long isn't nearly as sturdy as the one for a 40B.

I haven't been around as much this week because my household is adjusting to a new routine. Significant other started his new job on Monday, which is wonderful, but he's also having to leave 30 minutes earlier in the mornings. Shorter commute, just that he has to be there at 0800 instead of 0830. It's still hit or miss as to which of us feeds the Cat-mittee in the mornings... and the bearded dragon... and checking on the turtles, etc. I haven't had as much time in the mornings to catch up in the CDR, watch the bearded dragon's morning beard stretches, or savor my morning cup of coffee. We'll get the new routine worked out, though. It's definitely worth it.

@CarolM
We didn’t get to work on the project any yesterday. The weather wasn’t conducive and I had to get hubby off on his annual goose hunt.. I’m hoping to have good time today and this weekend... but look at the sign I’ve ordered:)

And now I have repeated you... apparently I need new glasses [emoji6][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Lol!! It’s your kid!!
Good luck with her job hunt too!!

My son wants a job so bad but he’s only 15.
We have a Chick-fil-A opening next year and that’s where he wants to work.
