It's going to take a while for me to get caught up. I didn't even feel up to coffee this morning. Nor this afternoon.

My awareness of today goes something like this: There were four cats on the bed most of the day, with a couple more in the bedroom, all keeping me company. The mud turtle tank hasn't required any attention today. At some point Pinstripe was basking on the artificial log. The rest of my day I spent sleeping.

Wellllllllll... it’s only 3:45 am here. I have been up with my son ALOT. Cold meds for him every 4 hours but we will be off to the doctor when they open up. He started with the stuffy nose last night and it’s just gotten worse. Low grade fever now[emoji20] hopefully nothing more than the crud but we definitely need better meds than what I have!
Hope your boy is feeling better soon and the docs can give him something effective.

It may be tested to see if it's laced with LSD or something en route ;)
A prison here has just discovered that the inmates were smoking the pages from a Harry Potter book because the pages had been smeared with some drug or another!
I've googled Gain and any UK match, they said the nearest was DAZ also a P&G product.
If you have a Costco over there, see if they have it. No guarantee, but yes, there was one near Leeds (I think) when I lived in the UK.

Son was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and loaded up with some antibiotics and a steroid.. in so thankful it wasn’t the flu. He hasn’t been sick in a long time so I was a little worried.. but we are in good shape now:)
Poor thing hopefully the meds will kick in soon and he'll be back to being your little tort helper soon!

All the snow is melting fast, and the sun has been shining brightly all day long. Garden is boot sucking yucky. Been working on finishing up our bowl... the shape is pretty much finalized. Now we start sanding - working up through the varios grit grades... 60, 80, 100, 150. I think I still have 200, 220, 240 and 300 to go, then some 00000 steel wool. Stain, wax, buff. Enjoy.

It looks great already.
Looking forward to seeing the finished bowl!

Sleeping is good when you're poorly and drink plenty of fluids!
Hope you'll feel better soon.

Yes - I think there is a Costco in Cardiff now.
I've never been there but often have a look to see online to see if any of the US products that would be great for torts have made it over to the UK.
I'll have a peek tomorrow.

A late good evening from me!
Sorry to hear some CDRers and/or family are poorly but glad that most seem to be well or at least recovering.
Briefly ventured out into the outside world today, and have a new plaster cast which feels much more comfortable than the last.
It was a glorious day here and going to be quite warm for a few days, hopefully Mother Nature isn't teasing us!

Busy busy day here.
I think I’m caught up.
We’ve had rain and hail all day!
Today we drove 4 hrs round trip to drop our motor home off for some warranty work and the mountain tops were so pretty covered in snow.
I didn’t get any pics because I was driving.
Now I’m laying on the sofa with my doggies.

I’m sure you deserve it! It rained here all day too. I had some work to get done today and I just dragged my son along with me. He’s such a trooper though. Rarely complains about anything... I hope your motor home warranty is better than ours on the camper.. it is such a rip off! Hubby wants a motor home but I’ve asked him to hold off until our kids are out of the house . We have more room in the camper and they are not near as expensive so I do t feel so guilty about all the mud . Your pictures are really awesome. I would like to do some of the rock climbing events in jeeps. We have a CJ7 but rarely take it out. Hubby has totally rebuilt it and the tires are dang near as tall as I am [emoji5]..

If it’s anything like it, I bet you’ll love it!

Sleep is necessary. ! Get better and then worry about the rest.

I was waiting to hear how that went. I did remember you saying you had an appointment today. I’m so glad you’ve got a more comfortable coating now:) what’s / when is the next appointment? ?
