Please excuse the messy counter.  Samantha is really filling out.  Cocoa is photo bombing the picture.  LOL

 

To paraphrase from Jaws, you’re going to need a bigger counter!!

Feeing a little down this morning. The Toronto Raptors lost their round one playoff series to Philly last night. 😪 We went to the Blue Jays game on Wednesday night and they lost. Those guys are 7-3 at home this year and they lost both games that we have been at! 😪 And my Maple Leafs start their payoffs next week against Boston. They always lose to Boston 😱 Oh ya, and I broke my driver at the golf range yesterday.

 

I think it's time for a cruise! 😊

 

 

 

Sorry about the Jays game.  I don't get to see my teams in person very often and it sucks when they lose.  Look at the broken driver as a positive though...you get to buy a new driver!  Depending on how old your broken driver was, technology improvements in the last few years will give you better/longer drives.

I like the way you think. 

Looking at new ones on line this morning. Carbon faced, anti slice technology! WOW!

Now I just need one that includes a proper golf swing and I'll be all set. FORE! 

 

Forget the swing I just found IT!!!

Thats a great idea and worth a try.

 

 

 

We mainly keep them downstairs most of the time and crate at night in the master bedroom. They want to go explore upstairs but we have the cat litter box upstairs and I don’t want them going in there. Eventually we will have them sleep with us but until we can get them totally potty trained I don’t want to risk it.

Our daughter leaves the crate door open during the day so Teddy can go in when he wants to “get away”.

Gritty did that, too.  
It works as a refuge rather than a cell.

When you have Samantha in the picture, why bother to look at the counter?😁

My prep wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I had visions of alarm bells going off and needing to get to a bathroom within 10 seconds, or else.  That's what I get for listening to Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall tell their colonoscopy stories.  The mixture wasn't great tasting but wasn't terrible either.  My biggest problem was the sheer volume of liquid.  

Procedure has improved over the years , had my first one over 20 years ago and several since.

Wildlife sightings from the last week. I don’t want any of these in bed, or in the house for that matter.

Thanks.  He is a very sweet dog.  I’ve had him for five months now, and if licking my pillow in the middle of the night is the worst thing he does, then I got really lucky in the adoptive dog lottery. 😀

Just take your pillow to the bathroom with you!

Tell me you’re not going today, because we are. 😂

Just don’t tell anyone you have it, so when you slice they will be none the wiser.😉

Yikes.  I have two implants and it was less then that for both.  Of course it has been a few years since I had it done.

I’m paying 4200 to replace a crown. 
includes bone graft, post and crown. 
Could have a nice cruise for that!

We have been to a local garden centre and now sitting relaxing in the back garden.

I feel ya.  My trick(s) were a straw as far back in my throat as I could stand it, make it with crystal light, and get it as cold as I could without freezing.

Luckily, around here the prep is Miralax and Gatorade with two Dulcolax twice. 
Goes down pretty easily.

UGHHHHHH! I just made an appointment today for the office visit to get my first colonoscopy scheduled. I'll be 49 next month, but my doctor insisted that I do it now before 50 anyway... *Sigh*

I’m glad you’re doing it. I’ve had one every five years for what seems like forever. You never get over dreading the prep, but the colonoscopy itself is a breeze. And so worth doing!

So today is our day  to schedule our COVID test and in the past we have used CVS.

 

Now since it is used for travel, we are not insurance eligible, we would be self pay.

$139

 

So when I filled out the form to do the rapid, our CVS is now using the one that takes 1-2 days to get back.  

Last time they offered the rapid.

 

Has anyone used CVS and did it really take 1-2 days to come back??

 

TY

 

 

Any Walgreens anywhere near you? They don’t care why you’re taking the test. 
So no reason to delay giving results.

Well, I have three pillows in various positions on the bed since I like to roll over and change positions a lot while sleeping.  That’s one reason why he learned to scoot so quickly when I want to roll over.  Now I tend to just pull the covers over the pillows and it tends to stop him most times. LOL

So I was hoping Royal would release some more sailings for fall of 2023 that included Tortola BVI and it looks like there are no sailings. So I'm trying to pick another cruise for October 2023 (We like to cruise and celebrate our anniversary) So I would like your thoughts on 15 night Transatlantic from  Southhampton, England to Cape Liberty NJ on Anthem October 15th? I know the weather can be iffy. They say in the 70's but since it's more northern I would think it would be cooler. Interested in knowing if anyone of you has done a transatlantic in October and if you would recommend it?

 

Other choices include:

Wonder of the Seas 7 night Eastern Caribbean (St. Maarten, St. Thomas and PD) all places we've been but never on Wonder.

 

Celebrity 8 night Eastern which does go to Tortola on October 28th on Equinox. I've never been on Celebrity before thoughts? There is also a Celebrity 8 nighter ABC islands on Oct. 14th.

I just took a look. It's Bo Bichette bobblehead night tonight! 🥳

 

So I just asked Mrs. Dawg if we could go. Sadly she nixed the idea. 😪

 

She said something about having one bobblehead in the house was more than enough. I wonder what she meant by that?  We didn't pick up a Vlady bobblehead last season. Hmmm? 🤔

That's on our bucket list. I need to check dates for that sailing. Thanks for the suggestion.

I thought you were using the eMed tests.  Definitely cheaper than $139 each.

 

 I just realized I have spent $475 on the eMed tests now, with the last ones delivered last week. 
 

You gotta do what you gotta do!!

 

DH had a false positive with the Emed, and wants to have an "official" in person, rapid.

 

We do have the Emed kits, 

 

I think we will get up at 7am, and do Emed and if he tests false again, off to Quick Med on Belmont.

 

Take care

We normally sail either rccl or celebrity, wonder of the seas sounds great love new ships . If you are sailing in a suite I would cruise celebrity, suite perks or way better than rccl, love there suite restaurant and lounge, but rccl can’t be beat for entertainment. Never did transatlantic but would love to try it.

[Lionesss]

Walgreens, yes, we have many.

 

Ok time to Google

Later
