Title: We made it to Monday
Post by: Barb on April 20, 2020, 08:12:59 AM
Good morning all.  So far so good this morning, rainy but no wind, and the worst of the storm is north and southeast of us, hoping it stays away from here.  Liz, hope you are OK?  Remember, no Wizard of Oz moments.  How are the rest of you?

I'm just fine, Barb.  Some of the dogs were nutso last night.  Tink panting and shaking like a leaf as always, Bruno who is my best buddy resting his head on my arm as we sleep ALWAYS hid under the bed!  I was surprised with his reaction.  We had a bit of thunder, lightning and heavy rain in the wee hours but no destructive winds at all. 

The back is feeling pretty good this morning.  They say the sun will come out today which will be most welcome.  I'll go for another load of that ugly red mulch this morning, later I'll be shipping your box.  Hope Bill is feeling better and you are able to get in to the doctor with him.

Good morning Barb, Liz and all. All is well except I'm dealing with a crown that came loose during dinner last night.

I called the dentist this morning and of course they are closed until May 1 at the earliest. I left a message as requested detailing the nature of my problem and hopefully they will respond.

In my neck of the woods it is currently 55 degrees with a sprinkle of rain. We are supposed to have showers this morning but I haven't seen anything that I would classify as a real shower.

I need to pick up supplies like non-iodized salt for my BBS production otherwise not much on the agenda.

Willie, you're not the only one with a missing crown.  Hope that unlike me, you were able to find yours.  Mine is in the front.  I have another missing tooth in the front for which my partial is in, but I can't go to pick it up.  I wish my masks would come in so I can smile again without looking hideous.  At least none of my animals judge me.  They could care less that I look hideous.

Just got back from the nursery with my mulch and a bunch of plants.  I still have phlox to move, but they are all so hard to dig because they're growing underneath the metal fence and are attached to the plants on the inside of the fence where they belong.  That hard digging wears my back out too much.

It has been an excellent day for me.  I planted the plants I bought, went to the bank for money (still nothing from the government), drove to Pendorf to the tienda for ingredients for dinner tomorrow, buy 3 tacos de pastore for today, came home ate lunch/dinner and now I'm ready for my before WC nap.

Hi everybody, doing OK here today.  Bill feels better, he is getting a new reclining power lift chair tomorrow, so he is looking forward to that.  And I am looking forward to some blue shrimp soon!  Pets, not to eat.  All my angels and discus are doing great.  The Koi angels from Jon are so pretty, I have 9, and I think of Jon a lot when I look at or work on that tank.  I will take a pic of it to show you all one of these days.  Do any of you have some of these Koi, maybe Willie?

I do have a couple of these Koi left Barb. Unfortunately we had a shipping mishap and only 4 out of a dozen I got initially survived the trip. Out of those only 2 still survive but they are doing well and growing fast. I am hoping to breed them into my existing Koi.

Yes Liz I have mine. The dentist told me to glue it back in with some glue from the drug store but I am just going to leave it out until they start working again. With my luck I would probably swallow the crown if it came loose again. It is not a visible tooth.
