*HUG*
I start my new job on May 1!
YAY!!!
Thanks for being happy for me!
Nighty nite!
Holy cow!!! That was one heck of a smack! You’re lucky you didn’t have a concussion.
Yeah, kinda hard to hide that large a bruise. It would take a LOT of make-up.
DON’T do that again! :-)
Very pretty, imho.
I don't know how many black storks are in Ozols' area. Last year, there were a few intrusions at the nest but I don't know if it was one stranger going back again and again or several of them. He was late returning this year and all the available females may have already been taken.
I worried about that, but didn’t have any of the symptoms of a concussion...just the nasty eye. LOL!
I did get to go home from work, though. So I guess it wasn’t all bad. I just felt so dumb. I’m trying NOT to do it again! :)
Yes, it breaks our heart. LUV and I watched him and last year’s mate raise two crazy young ‘uns and were looking forward to another “show” this year. Young black storks are a trip. LOL
OOOOOOO! That’s going to be a pretty new baby you’re getting. LOVE Maine Coons! I hope momma’s genes are strong so the whole litter will have her long hair AND her size.
We’re still waiting for Pixie to hatch. LOL She can’t go much longer or she’ll explode. And the kittens must be antsy to get out because they’ve been very active the past couple of days. Pixie doesn’t look very comfortable at this point.
Ah, yes, they are gorgeous! His mom sure has been gone a long time!
One of the ladies posting on the rapture forum on FB said she thought she saw Hope on the trio nest this morning with two head wounds, and that one of the Valors drove her off. She didn’t have time to react and take a scap, but I guess if it was her, she’s been gone so long they would consider her an intruder. I do hope she’s still alive!
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Lauren. How's it going?
You should be deep into Dreamland by now. Have a great day tomorrow.
Soooooo glad to hear your news tonight! WOOHOO again!
You got lucky! Very lucky. Glad the bruising was all you got, even if it was a bit embarrassing for a while.
Dang, still no parent at the nest with breakfast? I took off for a shower and haven’t pulled any of the bird cams back up yet.
I wonder if it was Hope or one of the intruders that’s been harassing the nest that she saw. The two Valors and she have been mates for a while and they should have known who she was. I hope it wasn’t Hope since she was driven off.
And at the same time I hope it was her. It would be nice to know she’s still alive.
There still hasn’t been a definitive answer to whether it was her. I hope she’s still alive, too. Those two guys are going to need a mate or two.
Guess I’d better go now. See ya tomorrow night. Quiz night! :)
She’s there now. Hope she had breakfast with her when she arrived.
Gonna keep the ol’ appendages crossed that they can determine it was her. Maybe the Boyz will take her back after the eaglets have fledged. They might think she abandoned them.
Good night and sleep well. See ya tomorrow night for the quiz.
I got a call about 8:20a...
This is Medical Alert and we have an emergency call from your address. W did not answer. Do you want me to send emergency personnel?
Not yet...I’m on my way home. I texted my sister to start calling hoping for an answer...and keep calling til I got home.
Twice more he called to tell me the button had been pushed and did I want the emergency folks. The base unit is in the living room and she should be in the bedroom. Speak loudly! The third time he called he said he heard her say Kathy.
When I got home she was on the floor with her feet just coming out of the bedroom. She has to have moved the commode then fallen...she has no clue if or how she fell. And she has no clue where she was going.
I called Karma and he came and got her up and back into bed. I spent the next half hour talking about staying in bed or using the commode, NOTHING else. I had already talked to my sister and she will call every 2 hours. She spent the afternoon researching the 3 names the Senior Center gave us last week. Later this week we will chat on the phone about what we are going to do. I don’t want to commit until I find out if the jello shots help, and if the meds work. If after 10 days to 2 weeks the low dose isn’t working I can up the dose to 2 pills. So for a couple more weeks we repeat 100 times...no going anywhere unless I’m home.
When I got home I had to do some rearranging. I moved the Medical Alert base to the bedroom, unplugging and replugging all the cords. Then calling them and testing the new positioning. All is now well, and we just got the light off after 20 more talks about staying put until I get home. And I’m catching a cold and shortly off to try for some sleep.
Glad you got your MIL to check in....this is not fun.
Good night and rest well, MS B...*HUGS*
Thanks for all you do for our troops.
Round 2 for the “jello” shots are this Thursday and Friday. I SO want this to work....at least a few more months of mobility.
DANG!!!!! What a day you’ve had! God bless Karma for always being there for you when you need help getting her up and into bed again. No way you could do it yourself.
Gonna be a long couple of weeks waiting to see if the meds work. It sounds like her knees must feel a little better since she’s trying to walk around. A good thing if they feel better and yet a bad thing since she falls.
And now a cold on top of everything else. sheesh! I hope you can get a decent night’s sleep tonight. ((HUGZ))
Whooo Hooo!
