Funny Friday !

We're getting some soaking rains right now which we really needed. Happy Friday everyone!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Raining here too, but not soaking. The worst of it went to Tiny's house.

I am going in late today, have to drop off my car for the accident repairs. Last day of work before vaca!

Tinydancer · Guru

Enjoy your vacay IKWTDS!

TrudyML · Guru

VACA! Have a great time!

We had rain for about 10 minutes yesterday.

Didn't help our deficit.

Happy Friday, ya'll!

Kids are at their first day of school. Jojo will be fine, her teacher has been at the school a while and is well liked.

DD12 has 4 teachers for 7th grade - 3 of them are new and 1 of those won't start until Monday. Apparently, the man they hired to be the science teacher lied on his application and when they found out - the other applicants had accepted positions elsewhere, and they had to scramble to find a science teacher. She had actually retired from teaching and was working another job she had to give notice to, so she can't start until Monday. Luckily, for homeroom, DD12 has the only teacher that actually stayed.

Want to hear something funny? The other 3 teachers quit because they didn't like the principal. Our school is different in that it goes K-8, and is not a separate middle school, so I don't think they liked being subject to the same rules as the elementary teachers and such - the school is not run like a regular middle school. But, oh the irony - they left the best school in the county b/c they didn't like the principal, and he resigned at the end of the year.

Aaron goes back on the 8th of August. Picked up his schedule yesterday.

Jojo is starting kindergarten, right?

We got about 1 1/2 inches spread out from yesterday afternoon through this morning. A good rain for the plants.

Mobile detailer is detailing my car in my driveway now. Dinner tonight at the club with DH. Surf 'n turf on the deck. Big day for me!

I'm glad everyone else is having a good Friday. Mine, not so much. I woke up late and had to rush to get ready. Then I fell up the stairs taking the dog out and scraped my palms. The shoes I'm wearing are a little big, but it's usually not a problem. Earlier, one slipped off my foot and tripped me. So I changed into my boots. And my pencil just broke. So much to do to close the month and I just want to hide for the rest of the day.

FNW · Guru

Ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo, DG!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Happy Friday everyone. My hip was aching so I got out of bed early & ended up being 15 minutes early to work. That doesn't happen often.

Hopefully your day gets better DG. I cannot imagine wearing boots in this weather.

Your kids start back to school really early & on a Friday LL? That seems sort of weird to me.

Lexxy - I work in at a manufacturing site, we all have steel toe boots, those are what I have on. Plus, it's about 60 degrees in my office, so it's not a problem temperature wise.

At least the boots have a thick enough sole my pants aren't too long for once 😛

FNW · Guru

Mine don't go back to school until after Labor Day.

Ok, I get it. I was picturing leather dress boots that come almost to the knee.

Same here I think. That is the way it has always been but last year my niece in Fauquier went back just before. I think it was to build in more snow days.

I think I just snickered at the thought of someone as klutzy as me.

You just hush.

I have been officially cleared to wear my respirator for another year. Today was like the worst day to schedule it, and it was right during lunch time. So I haven't actually had lunch. I stopped for cheesecake bite at BWW on my way back to the office. Seems like a perfect day for them.

Can this day end? No comment I could leave. Ugh! Looking busy. Perhaps a bad idea.

Oy, Wayne is taking Shop Cat back to the Vet.

More blood work and maybe some X-rays.

The poor thing is still hurting.

Will let you know what we find out.

Poor shop cat. Maybe she is getting arthritis? I know Dez has it in his rear hip & sometimes if I touch him wrong he gets a stinger & bites me.

I hope your vet gets her fixed up ASAP.

Oh, no! I'll want updates!

I'm wondering that myself, Lexxy.

Her lower back hurts when Wayne pets her.

She's also losing weight.

Which has me wondering about kidney failure.

I hope we get some answers today.

And that it's something treatable.

OOh kidney failure is not good but not uncommon in older cats either. I'll cross my fingers that is not the case here. Maybe with this heat she still didn't get hydrated enough. I worry about mine since it is so hot & nobody seems to be drinking extra.

Hoping for easily treatable!!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Thanks Lexxy! I'll post an update when I hear from Wayne.

I'm trying not to worry.

And for my checkbook.

The Vet visit on Wednesday cost $324.

Can't wait to see what this costs us. cry

Oh well, she needs care. And we always do the best we can for our pets.

Shoot, I'll mail you a check! You are the best! Taking care of the loves in need!

Wayne is lucky to have Shop Cat.

She has saved the plant a small fortune in pest control.

So, now that she's not feeling well, it's only fair that we do what we can for her.

Plus, she loves Wayne a lot. wink

Want to know how humid it is?

According to radar, it's raining.

Hopefully Shop cat will be ok soon.

Aaron is beyond ready to go back to school.

I just got a call from Wayne.

He got the old Vet, this time. And it sounds like he really knows his stuff, with cats.

He looked Shop Cat over, and showed Wayne all the flea poop in her fur.

He says she's allergic to flea bites, and that's what is making her sore.

The gave her some medicine for that.

And he told Wayne to get the stuff that you put on once a month, to keep the fleas away.

Wayne also made an appointment for her to get a bath next Friday. And they can trim any knots out at the same time.

Todays visit was only $75.

Happy dance!

We are hoping she'll be feeling better soon. smile

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

I'm glad it's an easy fix. I'm surprised she wasn't already on flea meds since she goes outside. I'm even treating Bitey.

We were doing Revolution...but we stopped.

It just got too expensive.

But, there are other brands.

We are going to get some for Shop Cat, since she's outside so much.

What kind do you use, Lexxy?

I use Frontline because it treats for ticks too & Revolution didn't. My house backs up to woods where they like to play (hunt) & Dez is a tick magnet.

It does get expensive so I no longer treat year round. I really debated on adding Bitey but decided I didn't want him miserable & he sleeps on the back deck so he could possibly infest my house when I open the door to feed him. I decided a few rounds for him was ultimately cheaper than having my house exterminated.

We'll check Costco and Pet Meds, and see who has the better deal.

Wayne still can't really get his hands on First Shift Kitty. But we will get some for Shop Cat.

For sure! smile

I'm heading to Des Moines first, to see my sister Monica and her family.

I will head to Y-town, on Friday, the 12th. (I hope to sneak in a lunch with Czech, on Wednesday the 10th.)

I'll hang out with Mom, for a week, and head to Columbus to see Irene and Phil on Friday, the 19th.

Spend the weekend, and head down to Cincinnati to see Trudy, Sunday evening the 21st.

Spend a few days with Trudy, and head to Lenexa, KS. on Thursday, the 25th.

Spend Thursday night and Friday with my niece Stephanie, and her hubby.

Back home to Texas, on Saturday, August 27th.

I'm looking at three thousand miles in old Belle.

Not counting the side trips! biggrin

It's a good thing, I love to drive! wink

LOL!

This is an easy trip, my pretty!

The longest day is only 730 miles.

Easy, by my crazy standards!

(I was nuts enough, to drive from Jacksonville, FL, to Fort Worth, in one day. Only driver. 1030 miles. Never again. Now I draw the line at 800 miles. Old age, and all. wink )

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

For those of us who love to drive, and who have reliable vehicles, 750-800 in a day is nothing!
