Thanks for the reps, hope your Friday is great. Haven't been on much this week as I bought a new Samsung Tablet and I'm trying to figure it out.....I'm thinking that could take a while

Thanks for the rep!

Free at last, right? thank you for the rep, Hon!

Thanks for the rep

For the rep!!!
My weekend was ok,not too good.i was little sick.
so I just relaxed and slept whole day,ate from outside.
also nice to know that you were in Florida.i hope you enjoyed a lot there.
take care.

ha ha ( about avoiding cooking ) I am doing a similar thing with some housework, lol.

Delighted that this morning after the earlier rain, not much came down on my walk somewhere this morning. Had an umbrella along too. I was hoping rain would fall mostly last night and it DID!

Oh, no, I don`t actually enjoy cooking. Baking, especially for dogs who are grateful, is a whole other story. I`m a lousy cook, I`ve perfected maybe 3 dishes. Idiot proof things, that never taste as good as my Mom`s (even if I`m standing right beside her, doing exactly what she says, it doesn`t turn out ). It`s funny cause my Mom had no clue how to cook until she got married (her thing was cleaning, she was happy to leave the cooking up to her Mom and younger sister).

Then there are the really simple things that make a tasty lunch if you`re short on time (& desperate). Spread cream cheese on a soft tortilla shell, roll up & microwave for 15 seconds, just until the cream cheese gets soft. Yummy & idiot-proof (says the idiot who put it in for 1 minute and had to clean cream cheese from every little nook and cranny in the microwave ).

I learned my lesson when I was on dialysis. On good days, I cook a large meal and put it in single portion storage containers, so I have easy meals. I also have a ton of canned goods that I pick up whenever there`s a sale on. The 3 of us have been known to enjoy peas from a can for lunch (yes, I have a weird cat who LOVES peas...& corn!).

I also have my Mom sending me home with care packages every time I visit (been 2 weeks, so those are now gone).

I hope you`re not overdoing it. Try to spend some time relaxing with Jake.

I am really glad you are back home. I missed you.....I've had ups & downs & certain things happen, but I am still chugging along. Did you have fun in Florida?

It`s been a lousy year (well, 10 months) for sure. I think I`m just so worn out from the 2 emergency surgeries, the 3 trips by ambulance, the stupid simple bug that left me in the isolation ward back in the spring, etc etc. Now I think I`ve figured out why I`ve been feeling off (iron pills got switched, which explains the dark circles under my eyes & being exhausted all the time).

I`d teach my guys to do the cooking for me, but I think they`d only leave me with table scraps.

Give Jake a kiss from us (like you need any incentive ). Tell Jake to take care of you.

Oh, poor things (both of you!).

The only pet I had who was that bad was my budgie. I went into hospital when I was 10 (first diagnosed as diabetic) and he refused to eat for 2 days. It wasn`t until my Mom held the phone up to Charlie and he heard my voice that he was calm (he also used to snuggle up beside me on the couch whenever I was under the weather).

Now that all is well, how are you feeling?

Welcome home.. it's GREAT to have YOU back..

I remember the first time I left Lily dog. I`d had her just under a year and she was staying with my parents (& the one true love of her life, my Dad). I missed her like crazy. When I got home I asked if she missed me. `Sort of. After a couple of hours, she looked for you, then went back to playing. The next day, she put her head on your bed & wagged her tail like crazy.` Apparently, once she realized I was gone for a while, she decided she no longer had to behave (my parents let her get away with murder ).

Did you at least have some fun while away?

Glad to see you back, hicks!

Welcome home! So, are you still in the doghouse? Or has Jake forgiven you?

Welcome home from Fla - hope it was all you wanted it to be and you came back healthy & rested

welcome back!!! It has been the best sunniest w/e so far here. dogs have been happy, us too. Glad you had a nice getaway!

have a wonderful time away
thanks for keeping me in your thoughts........take care

thanks for the rep!

Rep thanks! Have a FAB week!

Good morning, Hon. Yes, I sure do hope the weather behaves itself while you're there: it seems to have become so unpredictable the last few years. I see you're in Whitby; my brother used to live there. He and his wife are in Baltimore now (the opposite side of the highway from Cobourg). I just love the area.....far enough from Toronto for that rural vibe, close enough to take in the theatre and of course, shopping!
Have a lovely weekend!

Going to miss you, hope you have a good vacation.. Don't forget to flash when you get back..

Thanks for the rep!!!

buon viaggio

Have a great vacation!! We'll miss you!!

Hi, Hon! Thank you for the rep,, can't rep you back yet, but will...
