Last Notes npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm still up, super late for me, because I'm worried about hubby's test in the morning. It's an MRI with nuclear medicine, and it's scheduled for 3 hours we found out today. I know there's nothing I can do, and hubby's not worried about it. At least we can go out to lunch afterwards. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak It was on the classic rock station, and I'm in a red state, so it most definitely leans right. And yes, Carney was absolutely right to walk away from negotiations. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak One of the news stories I heard on the radio on the way in to work was that Canada's PM has decided "Canada is at war with the US over tariffs." Nothing in the reporting talked about the US's negotiation requirement that French has to go away, or that the US should be able to veto any of Canada's other trade deals or any of the other awful things this administration was requiring of Canada. It's only because I'm chronically online that I know that Canada did the right thing and stopped the negotiations. The US has no right to control Canada that way. It's the average USian who's going to pay the price, and the media is blaming Canada, not the Trump administration. Ugh. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak when I go back and visit family, it's a weekend of homemade German food and any number of -berto's taco shops meals. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak this is what I miss about living in So Cal: great, large Mexican food. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak We've been slow in getting boxes out of the house because they have to undergo rigorous inspection by Pippin. #caturday #box #CatsOfMastodon https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/139/341/054/088/369/original/74b6b5339c9041fb.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie enjoys getting cozy in the mushroom house, but this is the first photo evidence I have of it. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/139/272/325/794/866/original/68967862b9e41beb.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie's New thing is putting her snout in our hand and falling asleep. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/101/242/689/462/138/original/d320650db8500663.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin is taking your orders for biscuits this #caturday https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/099/893/867/474/189/original/0535a71e0388da47.mp4 npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby took a gummy and is now eating a Sam's Club sized box of fruit roll ups for dinner. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I was using the back scratcher and Gertie came over to sniff it. I scratched her back with it. She stopped, rolled over on her back, looked at me, and went limp when I scratched her belly with it. I put the scratcher away, and she walked over to it, nosed it, and looked at me. She wasn't done! :mastolol: #gertieFanClub npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby got called by the endocrinology office today to make an appointment but he's so exhausted he couldn't talk on the phone. So he texted me the number and I called to schedule the appointment for him. I called the number and pressed 1 for scheduling with endocrinology. She brought him up in the computer and said "oh! I need to transfer you to endocrinology-oncology because that's where the surgeons are." Okay.... Talk to the endo-oncology scheduler and she said "let me look. It seems the soonest is September 8th. Wait, the note... Oh! We have Monday at 8:45. Can he do that?" So this tells me it's serious about the parathyroid and he's going straight to a surgeon and they worked him into the schedule. That's scary, but good. I'll be at the appointment with him. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak It's a big day for Gertie: she graduated to adult dog food!! #GertieFanClub npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak They look sweet and innocent, but one of them let off a stink bomb of a fart that made me gag just after I took this. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/067/473/783/166/207/original/c33c0e4dee53b1bb.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I heard it's international cat day. Is it true? #caturday #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/060/826/643/562/673/original/651a3c3165c3b4c2.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I just saw my first Christmas ad. Ugh. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak It's Pippin's gotcha day!! 2 years ago today, @npub189n…4h23 allowed us to adopt Pippin the eternal kitten. Pippin has kept us company and been a chaos agent ever since then! #cat #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/055/201/150/294/666/original/afaea172787d50e3.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby fell twice today. He's fine but the cause of it is still unknown. He's in bed now, I'm still up for a bit. So this afternoon at 3 was Bucky the dachshund's annual vet exam. He's the picture of health, friendly, and she couldn't believe he's 12! Anyway, hubby was home getting ready to go to his doctor's appointment at 4:15. Vet ran late, got home at 3:45, and hubby was passed out on the floor from leaning over to tie his shoes. Get Bucky sorted, get hubby up and ask if he needs to go to the hospital. He said no. So I ferry him to the car, and drive the 25 minutes to the doctor's office. Doctor has narrowed it down to his liver or parathyroid. She was a little concerned about his fainting, but not concerned enough to send us to the hospital. Hubby has a liver ultrasound next Friday and has a referral to endocrinology which I'll call tomorrow to see where we are in the process. We went to Sam's Club (warehouse grocery store) afterwards. Quick trip to get the last of the month's groceries. Go home, unpack everything, feed the dogs. Then hubby got up to get some pie, wobbled, and nearly collapsed to the floor. I was in the kitchen and caught him and shepherded him back to the couch. After the pie he said he's feeling better so he went upstairs to bed. I told him he's not allowed to get up. He starts vitamin D tomorrow, a 3 month regime of weekly megadose: 50,000IU. She also ordered him to get outside 15 minutes a day to get additional vitamin D. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Bucky and Gertie got some whipped cream to celebrate Bucky's birthday! I'm enjoying some whipped cream in this coffee: https://cssnev-ys.myshopify.com/products/harbor-roast https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/045/292/507/162/534/original/d1b03ea7b59043ce.mp4 npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby has been dealing for a year with extreme fatigue, brain fog, and low libido. He finally got in with my primary care nurse practitioner 2 weeks ago. We got his bloodwork done Friday and the results came back that there were issues with his liver and possibly thyroid. The NP wrote him a long note today, scheduled him for follow-up bloodwork today and an appointment Thursday. He's also on the list for an ultrasound of his liver. Some of the labs came back from today before the NP left and his parathyroid is producing too much hormone, so now he's referred to endocrinology for that. Well have more answers Thursday when we meet with her. Keep your fingers and paws crossed that it's an easy fix. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Why did it take me all freaking day to format the online component of my fall course and the syllabus? I think it's because I must have everything perfectly matched week to week. Gah! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby and I at the fair this afternoon. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/011/396/468/465/066/original/9831c92aab62135e.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just got the MRI results from radiology: 1. Partial tear of the gluteus medius tendon. 2. Gluteal cuff tendinopathy with adjacent intramuscular edema. 3. Tendinopathy of the hamstring origins. No associated discrete tear. 4. Mild right hip osteoarthritis. We knew about the arthritis from X-rays, but that is on my inner hip, not the other hip that was in pain. Items 1&3 could be the "pop" I heard and felt. Item 2 is what we thought it was and would need surgery to drain the edema. Within a week I'll hear from my doctor about the next steps. I'm glad the MRI shows that something is wrong. Please no medical or health advice. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Bucky does this every night. #dachshund https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/005/610/610/505/720/original/a42a111aa649da40.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak The new comforter is a perfect replacement!! It was so cozy I overslept my alarm! Yay! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie loves her daddy. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/005/211/343/249/007/original/b7bd6b7dca0d679a.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I sleep with a comforter, no top sheet. The comforter I had was made for kids and is at least 16 years old. This past week it developed a hole and Bucky has been destuffing it. So I made the trek to Target today to find a replacement. I headed for the kids' bedding because I wanted something fun and similar to the one I had. Did you know comforters start at $40 and range up to $200 at Target!??! I think I found a replacement for $40. It's the same thickness and weight. It's cotton and it feels like it will have the same sleeping temperature. The cotton is brushed though which feels different but tolerable. We'll see how I sleep tonight. I saved the old one in case this one doesn't work out. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Part of being sick is trying to stay hydrated. I know I can drink some Sonic ocean water and diet cherry limeade. So I went to Sonic and got 44 ounces of each. So good on my throat! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I finally broke down and took some cough medicine 2 hours ago. About 30 minutes ago the room started spinning. So if you need me I'll be in bed scrolling. #bediverse npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak So the tension is still gone, yay! But there is a new clicking sound in my knee with every step and my thigh is jiggling more than it did. There's a different, more nerve pain in my hip. Argh! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just rolled over in my sleep and woke up when my right (bad) hip popped. The tension and pain in my hip are gone. What did I do and will it last? npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak At a conference session billed as having to do with journals, instead it's an AI love fest. Ugh npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak all he's done all day is chill in the hotel, take me to the conference, pick me up from the conference, eat, poo, and sleep. Not sure where the boy learned to sleep so much! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/949/220/125/876/204/original/ed6c62ece499afd9.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak only catnip can make everything better. :think_weed: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Here's Bucky just chilling out on a puppy pad in hubby's lap like he's king of the house. Gertie hasn't left his side. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/921/211/626/620/324/original/46230925d4c250ef.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Bucky update: he's feeling much better. It was an abscessed anal gland (ewww) that the vet tech cleared out. He is on pain meds and antibiotics. Thank you all for the good juju, it worked! Me update: I have an MRI scheduled for the end of the month for my hip. The doctor will call a week later for next steps. He also called in a script for steroids that I'll pick up tomorrow. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak All, can you spare some love and good juju for Bucky? Hubby picked him up this morning to bring him downstairs and there's blood everywhere from his butt. We have an appointment for him 4:30, after hubby drops me off at the hip doctor. :blobbear_heart: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I came home to find the mowers took out 2 of my 4 tomato plants!! I'm burning with rage right now. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak RE: https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/116913144293060721 Only scroll through if you want your mind to melt. It goes from bad to worse! #note1vq0…qlfr npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak that's a lot of beans!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Today is Gertie's gotcha day! She's been blessing us with her sweet feisty self for a year now! #dachshund #cat #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/896/013/648/195/166/original/a79715377ed0c98f.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak #Garden update! I have harvested a total of 8 delicious cherry tomatoes, I have about 12 bunches of green ones still growing. The mystery tomato plant (I got it at a mutual aid fundraiser and it was a volunteer tomato plant from someone's raised beds) has 3 palm-sized tomatoes that are light green with dark green stripes. I'm interested to see what they turn out to be. My carrot greens were turning brown so I plucked them, and they are tiny but very sweet! We already ate them. They were about thumb-length. My bell pepper plant died. This was a longshot plant after my cat had eaten all the leaves off it before I had a change to plant it. The dill died, I think I overwatered it. The chives are still going strong as is the lettuce. I didn't harvest either today as they need a little more growth to be able to be a salad. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby: I don't know about pineapple, but I know Heinz beans don't belong in pizza. Me: I've got to post that! [So I posted it] npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak RE: https://bots.robots.rodeo/@palette/116881609331555008 This is a very Somcak color palette! Like the majority of my clothes, jewelry, and household linens fit in this color palette. #note1hts…mczz npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I did last year and continue to do the exercises. It didn't really help. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm trying to #releasethebutt (relax my butt muscles which are currently freaking tense as my hip is hurting and my butt is trying to lessen the pain by being tense or something) npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie had the hiccups. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/869/186/190/560/086/original/01cb5cee63c2ba9a.mp4 npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak He said yes!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I washed my hair! Now to beg hubby to cut it. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I got up this morning worried about finances. We'll maybe *just* squeak by this month. Brienne the tortie cat was giving Pippin the kitten a bath, which calmed me a bit. #cat #caturdayeveryday https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/868/227/486/665/672/original/78d27966aee6e2b1.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I went to Sonic for a Diet cherry limeade and some tater tots an hour ago. It's 101⁰F/38⁰C with 70% humidity. Even with the AC on in the car I was sweltering. I'm just now back down to a comfortable temperature. And my city is going ahead with their fireworks tonight that people have been waiting for since noon. Unbelievable. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak here's Gertie and her new toy! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I just had my first tomato that I grew myself!! It was orange-red in color and I was watering my garden before the heat of the day and I just plucked it and ate it! The rest of the bunch should be ready tomorrow or Sunday. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie would like to remind you to take a nap, even if you just woke up. #dachshund #GertieFanClub https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/856/286/815/235/687/original/bdf33c3df143bbc1.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Here's the current temperature outside.

The gardening "bug" really got me this year. I've been watching people here garden for a few years, and I finally decided to give it a go this year. So glad I did! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak yes, I feel like my garden has been a group project with all the advice I've gotten here! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak it's my first year growing anything!!

I was so excited I ate it before I thought to take a pic! It was a spindly 4-inches long (10 cm) and was really sweet!! I was out there watering before the heat of the day, and tugged on a carrot to see how they were doing. I think they need a few more weeks. And!! One of the tomato bunches is yellow-orange!!!

Like, yo, think people think beyond yourself!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just hobbled over to get Dunkin and the anti-abortion/pro-birth troglodytes are out at every corner and the quad. MFer guy approached me and I yelled "talk to me when you have a fucking uterus!" Then I crossed the street to be approached by a girl, no more than 18, and I lit into her "So when the fetus dies in me I'm supposed to die with it instead of getting an abortion? Abortions save fucking lives!!! Get out of her with your religious bullshit! The Old Testimant gives instructions on how to perform life saving abortions! Quit following blindly and think for yourself!!" And then I crossed the other street to Dunkin and see a guy filming. "You got that on video? Good! It's all fucking true!! You fucking zelot!" On the way back the chick said "sorry that happened to you." I replied "No you're not. You're just saying that to be nice! Fuck off!" I felt like I was channeling my inner @npub1zvl…qckq So uh, yeah. (To be clear, I've never had an abortion. And I know they are part of healthcare and will fight for peoples rights to have them at any stage of pregnancy.) Also, the university allows this but pepper sprayed and arrested the pro-Palestinian student group again and again for even daring to stay they support Palestine. So yeah. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm allergic to amoxicillin, well really all the cillin antibiotics. Of course the vet gave Zoie amoxicillin for her ear infection to give her orally twice a day for 10 days. Hubby has difficulty giving it to her and getting her mouth open, so this morning I opened her jaw for him and he got some on me. I washed it off right away but now I'm an itchy freaking mess!! I took Benadryl so I'm hoping it will pass. Tonight I'm wearing gloves. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak A friend 3D printed Donatello's leg.

The tomatoes have gone wild, even after I tied them up, so I'll have to go to the garden center this weekend for a cage for them. The dill, behind them, is turning yellow which makes me think I'm over-watering them. The chives are there, but have been slowed in growing by the tomatoes which helps me by getting ahead of them blooming. On the right, the lettuce is looking good. I harvested some yesterday when I took these pics. The marjoram is flowering, so I'm gonna cut it way back this weekend and dry it. The carrots and radishes seem to be growing well. The bell pepper plant was transplanted but seems to have withered; oh well, it was free and Brienne the cat had chewed off all the leaves before it was planted with the tomatoes. #garden #gardening https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/733/871/764/338/748/original/c5ed46995010b0ed.jpg https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/733/872/078/230/876/original/3475c9dc4743ce6d.jpg npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak How small is Gertie?

My arm hurts from the after effects of the RSV vaccine. My Achilles ankle hurts and feels like it's pulling up. On that same leg my hip feels like it's being ripped sideways from the socket. I took 2 doses of CBD 4 hours apart and it's not touching the pain. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm feeling good. I was in a bit of pain from the shingles shot and the inflammation it caused in my leg. Hubby also took some. We're listening to Art Bell about alien abduction and time travel.
