COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Good morning all! I have not heard from @Chubbs the tegu either.. I hope everything is ok for him and the family!
We left early Friday morning for our annual canoe / Kayaking trip. Had rented the 5 bedroom house We rent every year and an additional cabin. Very large group. We all met in Benton Arkansas for lunch and Made it the rest of the way to Yellville by 2:30ish.. I took Cinder of course and she had a blast swimming and playing with us all in one of the clear subsidiaries off of the Buffalo river. Shallow most places with a couple of deep holes clear to the bottom.. we had a shuttle scheduled to pick us all up from the cabin yesterday morning at 8am and drop us on the Buffalo. To be picked up at 6pm about 18miles down river. Lot of drinking involved I never made the shuttle... when I woke my son up to get him ready he was developing a fever blister in his eye. Almost no one stocked the meds he needs and this is a very time sensitive issue for him. I didn’t take meds with me because it had been over a year since this has happened and what I had was expired. Either way, I knew the 6 hour trip home for the old meds would be the quickest start to getting him on track. I left hubby and the girls there to ride back with our friends and had him loaded up and on the way before the shuttle ever arrived. I have his specialist cell number due to the severity of this and we got his new meds on order. He was feeling better some by bedtime last night. We will have to go meet the group and pick up the rest of the family today. Spoke with hubby a few minutes ago and everyone had a blast yesterday. They will send me pictures later on I’m sure. Here’s what I took going in the mountains.

I'm sorry your little guy has to deal with that disease. I have an old girlfriend that does also. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.??

great. Add it to your list of plants, especially the non-fruit bearing type. Plant a few along your fence line.

Thanks, I like the idea of non fruit bearing. Though they taste good I could imagine the mess and worrying about Opo eating them.

Sounded like a good time. I hope your son heals well.

It's that MBD thing called osteoporosis. I just woke up and couldn't walk much. So I wrapped it up and propped it up for the day. In between getting my critters done along with my housework thingy I did get er done. Today is much better. Razberri always just hangs out with me.?

Sounds like you need one more day of rest. I will write you a note to excuse yourself from the taking care of the critters and house chores. ?

Well, I am a TF member, but have not posted in this thread before today (that I can recall). It seems the Covid-19 pandemic has caused me to limit my outside activities to the point where I have more time to read some of these non-tortoise related posts.

either way, welcome on board and I hope that you have lots of fun.

 

[CarolM]

I woke up with my leg hurting buttt... It gave me a perfect excuse to somewhat lay around all day between chores. I did get my critters done and a house work thingy too. Today is much better.

I am glad you are better today.

Thanks, I like the idea of non fruit bearing. Though they taste good I could imagine the mess and worrying about Opo eating them.

I have found that one of my neighbours actually has one growing in her neighbour's back yard and it is the non fruit bearing kind. So I took a couple of branches and am trying to propagate them. One I put into the ground and two I have in water. We will see which ones do better if any do at all.

And we have caught up again. I get so sad when I reach the end. I love reading all of your posts and when they are finished it is like.....Whaaaaaat where did the rest go. Surely there are more posts, All the other threads are way too scary for me. I may just end up giving the wrong advice and hurt someones little friend.

We had a good weekend. Except Saturday was not very productive as far as working in the garden etc was concerned. I had a few appointments which I could not change. And yesterday it rained a little bit in the morning, so I ended up going shopping, cleaning house, doing laundry and not the mowing of the lawn and the cement work for the pond that I had planned to do. But on the plus side for the first time ever I hit 24 112 steps. I did pay for it later that evening though. ?
So I have work for the week and other than that all I have planned is my walking and working on Phoenix's back ground / climbing wall.

What are you guys up to?

Hot hot hot again today, another above 90 degree day. My cohort paddler and I got off to an early start and were on the water at 0800. Some pix in a few.

Here was our lunch spot on a pretty hot day, nice cool fresh-water reservoir area that provides drinking water to the greater Washington DC area.

Nope I don't do moping unless it's housework. Critters and getting them taken care of is too much fun. If I have to I'll crawl on the floor to watch and take good care of them. So write your note excused from housework. It'll be there tomorrow anyway.?

I was trying to get a picture of Arrow hanging by his tail on his betta leaf sofa. The thing of it is, every time I come within a few feet with a camera, he swims to me. I'll post a few in a minute.?
