Good evening Abbers,

Sewing all day makes your eyes weary & your skeleton stiff, haha! Took a dinner break & now need to get right back to my machine. I can’t keep up with all the requests although I am trying

PQ, it seems to worst of yesterday’s storm kind of hugged the coastline doing a lot of damage there. I know we were lucky here!
I will put you on my mask list for a few, just in case. The USPS is working slower than ever & so is UPS & FedEx. I guess they are just extra busy right now.

Cyn, I’m sorry to hear your husband is still struggling. I wonder at what point you can get him in to see a pulmonologist for a good workup. I’m hearing & reading about a lot of side effects r/t the Quinolone Tx, darn. Hang in there, OK?

Mick, I laughed at the rabbits playing in a new box, My grandsons do the same thing when they’re here, Haha!
Glad you are on the mend, no fun being sick.
We got word that there was a possible Coronavirus death in the Amish community. Apparently the county coroner got wind of it too & snatched the body right from the viewing. They tried to hide the fact that the deceased likely had the virus & they got caught!!! This is why YB told them no more rides until at least the end of the month, possibly longer. They still aren’t getting the message sadly.

Hello to Pauly, Det, Sam & anyone else stopping by later.
Have a nice night all.

Lav

Mae everybody, Mick glad you're feeling better Sam, it's been raining alot here lately too(for Vegas) PQ, how's things? Used leftover turkey for soup yesterday and today I'm attempting a ham(leftover) and potatoes and cheese casserole of some sort, just gonna try to toss it all together and see what happens I don't wanna throw any food out like I used to when I was tired of it how's your son? Lav, Lb made us some cute masks mine has donuts in it but I think I'm gonna rig a string to tie it in the back cuz my ears seem to not be sturdy enough to keep any mask on and it keeps flopping off on one side so I get pissed and take it off! Cyn love that you're more active on fb lately, it's fun, how's hubs? Hope Det is doing ok too, delivered to a huge mansion on Monday up in the Henderson hills, was looking at the area on Google and the place is for sale for nearly $14 million! Has a bowling alley, basketball court (indoor) tennis court, theatre, etc must be nice sheesh! Yesterday I was getting a package and both dogs ran out, Winslow came back but Spencer didn't, we drove around 4 times to see him and I took off on foot to look but nothing I think someone snagged him cuz he's friendly and cute, I'm very sad, I'll check the shelter today but I read that they're only doing emergency calls so I don't think animal control caught him but I'll check, sorry for the book I wrote! Much love to all and wishes for a great BF this day

MAE ALL...

Lav...don't wear yourself out, sounds like a full time job with mandatory overtime. Thanks for thinking of me with the masks and make sure I'm at the absolute bottom of your list. I sure hope YB sticks to his guns and doesn't interact with the Amish. I just don't understand why some people still don't get it. I'm glad the storms stayed south of you, I wasn't so lucky. Woke up to another winter wonderland and it is still snowing.

Sam...I can't believe your dealing with ticks already. You keep yourself safe.

Pauly...sometimes just tossing everything together turns out better than any recipe, not in my case though. LOL My son seems to be doing better, I'm glad he's got his group of friends to lean on, Mom's can only do so much. So sorry to her about Spencer, you don't need that right now. I hope things work out and you get him back.

Mick...what a nice thing to do for Flossie. I didn't know her, she was before my time or on threads I didn't frequent. Glad you're feeling better, I got a chuckle out of picturing you walking forward and backward in your yard. I can also just picture the peskies in the box. It would be like watching kids at Christmas. Not sure I want to open my email program this morning, work is starting to interfere with my bridge games. LOL

TG...thinking of you and hope things are going better.

Det...also thinking of you and hope you haven't done anything drastic. You deserve some happiness in your life.

Hoping this snow lets up soon. I am determined to get out and walk every day. I have to figure out a new routine to keep my mental health on track. Hope we all have a good day....PPQP

oy! slightly manic greetings ABeroooos!

been so many crazy ups and a lot of nasty downs lately but I'm happyish and healthy thank goodness so no complaints of
a critical nature. Pauly, send a pic of Spencer so I can keep a lookout.
PPQ thanks much, nothing drastic to speak of but did get a book I ordered on raising kids with behavioral disorders and it's a relief
just knowing that someone (the author) really knows the problems and how to correct them. Darlene and I are right in the middle of it
and reading like people on a mission... because we are! I came home last night after a refuge meeting and to my utter shock and amazement
Darlene and girly were at the kitchen table playing scrabble. holy crap.... yay. and girly acknowledged me as a human last night with verbal communications
so that's interesting. these rays of light keep me going forward. whew. slept better last night
Doing work on our T shirt/graphic design site again with new art up as of yesterday. If anyone wants to see our fledgling rebeginnings of it: Xanguard Design | Teespring
I need to get a couple items sold so that I get our account out of review and 'confirmed' which I didn't know was the reason our site won't come up on a search on teespring. so annoying!
learning so many things every day. Just set up another Instagram account for it a few min ago. I feel like such a curmudgeon but I'm learning.
Been furiously practicing my glidecam skills on a borrowed glidecam HD2000 from a friend as I have a cinematic video shoot at a property this morning that I'm packing up for now. Good to
have 'some' work on in this very slow work time. Pauly I hope I get to video that huge house you saw. yes they are head-scratchingly rediculous eh?

Mick, where is the post for Flossie? sorry I'm not quite tracking.

Treegirl, strength to you and yours dear

shouts to the whole crew... back in a couple hours...

be well loves

[porqoui]

Good to see your post Det. Little rays of hope go a long way don't they. Hope it continues. Flossie's thread is under the General Discussion tab, here's the link. Flossie Good luck with the cinematic video shoot today....PPQP

Greetings Abbers,

Just back from my doggie walk & now I’m sneezing my head off, haha! The allergens are out & about in full force!
Spent another day sewing masks, have more to do later. Someday I’ll be done or caught up or whatever

Sam, I’m keeping any eye out for ticks here as well. I don’t want to deal with Lyme disease any time soon. Hope your day was good!

Pauly, get her to shorten the elastic on your mask a bit. One size really does not fit all with these things.
I’m really sorry about Spencer. Does he have a chip or tag on with your phone #. My dog has both because she does get to wandering at times. I hope you hear something soon.

PQ, I’ve come to admire the Amish, for the most part after living here the past 17 years. They are honest & hard working & will do anything to help someone. But their stubborn refusal to listen to new ideas, especially science related is going to be their downfall if they’re not careful. A guy called YB while we were eating dinner just to say hello & get the news on Covid cases in our county. Maybe, just maybe they will see the light. Sorry about your snow, doesn’t seem very fair considering we’re halfway thru April.

Det, glad to hear things are easing up a bit with the teen. I know it’s a 24/7 issue with them & it’s exhausting. I hope your video shoot went well today. I’ll take a look at the T’s when I’m done here

Cyn, hello to you & I hope your day was good!

OK, time to go back to the machine for a few more hours.
Have a nice night all!

Lav

Mae all-

Good to hear how e erythingmis goingmformyou all. Pauly,,so sorry about Sp nicer, I really hope he gets back to,you!! I have trouble with masks too - they are generally too big... my 10 year-old grandniece just sent a package of them... we'll see how that works! Lav, aren't you dedicated, to sew so many!? Take care of your body Nd your eyes. Sad to hear about the Amish... they will learn the hard way... Det, you Re amazing all the ways you are always learning new things- glad to hear about girlie acting like a human! Good luck with the t-shirts, I will,try to,remember to,check them out! Mick, glad that you provided the peskies with a fun house ! Hope you continue to feel well-er. PPQ, so sorry about the snow - that is totally unfair! I like your idea of walking, I hope that you can find a way to do that. Sam, I have pulled 2 ticks off of me already! And I wear high boots and only walk on short grass when walking the dog - this is nuts. One bite I got at right away, but it became a nasty infection... these are mean little critters! Be careful!

All OK here... hubs seems to be disheartened and/or frustrated with this winding down of the virus. Although our temps are in normal range, we both are still having big night sweats, so who knows. Day 25 today, since the first fevers onset. Who can blame him for being frustrated? I am not angelic at this point,,, I am ready to move beyond a primary care-giver, and he is trying each day to do more... so I must be patient! Lav, the weird thing is that his oxygen levels are good, even when without oxygen for as much as 7 minutes... 96%. BUT his heart rate goes quickly up to about 100. His resting heart rate isaround 83 a 86... doesn't that sound high to you? Since there seem to be heart issues with or without that drug therapy, I am concerned... I hate to think of his heart working so hard all the time... I guess we will see at some point. Got a canister of o2 today with a roller, so we are mobile if we need to go see a specialist...

Wishing all well and able to find slivers of goodness each day!

[paulywogg]

Mae everybody, Mick that pic is hilarious PQ, glad your son is feeling ok, yes having friends helps, the ham and potato thing came out good yay! Cyn, wow that's a looooong dragged out illness jeez! Hope you and hubs continue to improve, still no Spencer, I called the animal shelter yesterday and she told me that the animal control is only picking up emergency calls like a bite, dead animals and such, so he's probably not there but to check the website I don't see him anywhere I'll check again here in a bit, Det, glad it was peaceful at your place yesterdayLav, it's just my ears are floppy or something, I have the issue with all of them and it's annoying, one day I forget my mask and Romeo's shirt was in the backseat so I just put it over my face I'm sure I looked ridiculous but it worked haha, feel sad, sad my dog's lost, sad cuz I don't know what to do when the world does open up, I'm pissed that my boss isn't helping through all this, I'm pissed that the girls I thought were my friends at that shop haven't reached out to even see if I'm ok or say hi one did and that's nice but the one I've worked with for 17 years just sends group texts about unemployment bullshit cuz we're ineligible but she thinks we can get it for some delusional reason, anyways I'm irritated she hasn't asked how I am, maybe I'm just being selfish or maybe she just don't like me, I don't want to go back to that toxic environment but I'm sooooo damn scared of change, guess I'm thinking too far ahead, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Thursday?
