Good luck! I hope she gets to stay out for a while!

[Tax-chick]

Happy Easter! Cute cartoon!

[Not A Snowbird]

He is Risen, indeed!

[Tax-chick]

It’s now sunny here. I hope that gets to you, soon.

[Tax-chick]

Happy Easter, Sandy, and all your cats!

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you for precious baby!

A very Blessed Easter to all!

[Monkey Face]

Had my trip to Mesa not been in such a hurry, and had I been in my own vehicle, I would have stopped to visit.

I apologize to both of you, Libre ou Mort and Not A Snowbird. I hope you can forgive me!

[Darksheare]

Happy Easter!

[Chode]

you too! and yes it is...

[Tax-chick]

Nice here, but a little cold. All the music events went adequately. Bill the Son has come over to hang around and eat. Kathleen went home from church with some friends - an Easter egg hunt at their apartment complex was mentioned - and they’ll bring her home later.

[null and void]

Finally bailed her out at 5:30. Was expecting to get her out by 9:30 or 10-ish.

In for SOB, low BP, dizzy headache, pressure pain in chest, pain in jaw.

EKG, X-ray, CAT scan, blood work, echo cardiogram, stress test, poking, prodding, grilling...

Congestive heart failure, very early and quite treatable

Highlight for diagnosis...

[Monkey Face]

Oh my goodness. How is she otherwise? I mean, her mind-set.

Oh, Nully, I hope she’s OK and that the diagnosis isn’t as dire as the testing would indicate.

So I’ll say some prayers for you both.

[Tax-chick]

"You WILL play neonball wif me, hoomin!"

[Monkey Face]

The Morning Floof looks very determined to play neon-ball!!

Good morning. I just sorted the clothes and I think I have a whole lot of laundry, since I didn’t wash clothes last week when I got home.

It’s chilly out again. This weather is on-again-off-again. I want some heat!!

And I’m off for now.

[Tax-chick]

It’s a little chilly outside (and inside) here this morning. No Youth are up except for Pat, who hasn’t completed an assignment that’s due for school today.

[ArGee]

I hope you had a Happy Easter, Face.

Ours was a bit more filled with family drama than we would have liked it to be, but we all survived.

My friend, whose adult daughter was shown on Instagram standing nude on top of a mountain in Utah, didn’t fare so well. He survived, but he’s much worse for well.

[ArGee]

And, we’re off!

Well, I’m off. The rest of you may be normal.

Anyway, Happy Monday.

[NicknamedBob]

"The rest of you may be normal."

We're all part of the distribution.

To whom and for what purpose is not up for discussion.

[Monkey Face]

It had been long enough between laundering that I forgot how to set the dryers. I had all my sleep shirts and all the clothes from the trip and for whatever reason, I didn’t check the settings on the dryers, so most everything but the sheets and towels are damp. UNNGH! (I decided to dry the sleep shirts in the dryer this time because I don’t have room to hang them AND the clothes!)

My back was killing me by the time I got home, so I opted to wait 30 minutes for the next round of morphine to kick in. (I did NOT like what I saw in the x-rays.)

Now, I’m going to put an episode of “Midsomer” in the laptop and maybe it will feel like a normal Monday.

[Monkey Face]

Thank you, ArGee! I wore a silk “broomstick” skirt that has been hanging in my closet for two years, and a matching top that was only a year old, so I got several unexpected compliments. They went a long way to make my Easter a good one.

A couple of people offered condolences for my brother’s passing, but even that was good. No Easter bunny visited, though! ;o]
