1. I got a new mailbox. ❤️

[debm55]

3. Good,we need one too, but ours is attached to the neighbor's mailbox which we would have to replace.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. ❤️

[Tree-Hugger]

2. Vacation

A tiny, very small vacation.

[debm55]

5. That sounds very relaxing. I hope it was for you,

[captain queeg]

4. Had an MRI on my back

Last time I had an MRI it was so painful (very cramped and couldn’t move) I had to stop them. This time it wasn’t so cramped an I managed it pretty easily.

[debm55]

6. They can be a pain. I had were they came me a pill to relax me. I never had one on my back. captain,

I hope things work out for.

[captain queeg]

8. I'd asked them about something to relax

They said I had to get it from the Dr who ordered the MRI and he’s in a different city. I decided I’d just go ahead and if it was too painful I’d just stop them but this time wasn’t too bad. That was thurs and I got a call from my Dr’s office on Friday they wanted me to come in next week to see my doc. That has me a little concerned, I figured it would be a month or more before I got an appt. Makes me think they saw something bad.

[debm55]

16. I will wrap you in my heart, and offer you good news.

[Luciferous]

7. I finally got to schedule my hysterectomy 🙂

[debm55]

10. Sending good vibes your way Luciferous.

[Luciferous]

31. Thanks Deb

[50 Shades Of Blue]

11. Good vibes from me too!

I had one almost 15 years ago and I'm still kicking!

[Luciferous]

32. Thanks! I've had issues for so long that it's

a relief to finally get it done.

[leftieNanner]

18. Good for you!

I had mine almost two years ago. Maybe check out hystersisters (hystersisters.com) for a great online support group. Great source of information and kind people.

[Luciferous]

30. I've been spending lots of time on there

lately 🙂 I found the posts about how to prepare for after the surgery really helpful.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

9. I got the results of my colonoscopy biopsy and it wasn't even a polyp, just raised skin that

my gastroenterologist said was normal tissue and I'm good for 7 more years.

[debm55]

12. Great news 50 Shades. I need to get one as the last one showed polyps. Covid came and with my

sister's situation, I am going to have to wait. Here's to your results

[50 Shades Of Blue]

17. I'm SO sorry about your sister, debm55! I missed your post about that, but I just read it.

I'm sending you both positive vibes!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

26. Again, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how painful that must be for you. I hope you

will be able to get through to your sister again!

[debm55]

33. Thank you 50 Shades.

[dameatball]

13. I got a long overdue haircut.

[debm55]

14. Good for you! We thought our appointment was today, it's next Saturday.

[PittBlue]

15. My husband's blood platelets were up to 57,000.

He has an auto immune disease that is attacking his platelets…we were thrilled with that number!

[debm55]

20. Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Keeping you both in my heart for continue good news.

[leftieNanner]

19. We paid off our credit card!

Sigh of relief after a lot of hard work.

[debm55]

21. Isn't that a great feeling!!!! I am so happy for both of you.

[Midnight Writer]

23. My 18 year old cat, who has been lethargic and hardly eating, coughed up a huge hairball.

Now he is back to eating normally and is social and active again.

I was afraid it was the end for the old fellow. Very happy to see him back to enjoying life.

[debm55]

24. You might ask the vet or go to PetSmart for this situation. You rub on the nose and they lick it off

It adds a lubricant to help pass the help coat the hair ball. Sending hugs to you and your little guy.

[WhiteTara]

25. my true love was able

to walk and actually drive the car by himself and go to physical therapy. He has been very very ill and has been in and out (mostly in) hospital for the past year. This is such a milestone and for the first time, I think he may get well.

So for me, it was a great day.

[applegrove]

27. +100

[Laffy Kat]

28. It just happened.

On Friday I called Chewy.org to cancel my monthly delivery because my oldest dog died and I'm down to one dog and one cat. Today, I got a flower bouquet delivered from Chewy with condolences. I was so touched.

[Niagara]

36. My condolences for your loss, Laffy Kat.

[Laffy Kat]

40. Thank you. She was 16 and my soulmate.

I knew it was coming, but you know, you're never truly prepared.

[debm55]

47. Oh Laffy Kat,I am so sorry for your soulbaby. May her memories fill your heart with love and joy.

What a wonderful thing for Chewy to send you flowers for the lose of you flower.

[Laffy Kat]

59. I know! It was such a nice gesture, I teared-up a bit.

Thanks for your condolences, debm55. I'm almost at the point where I can look at her photos again. I know it takes time. I still have one doggo and she helps, too.

[Scottie Mom]

39. So sorry on the loss of your beloved pet.

I use Chewy and today I got a delivery and the driver was getting back into his van and he saw me trying to move the box. He ran back across the street and moved this huge heavy box into my entry hall. So grateful for his doing this.

I have always thought well of Chewy, and the flowers they sent for condolences? What a wonderful and thoughtful gesture. I am so glad they did that for you!

[Laffy Kat]

42. Thanks, Scottie Mom.

I told my son about it and he said Chewy had a reputation for doing stuff like that.
I will always order from them when I need something.

[Scottie Mom]

43. You are very welcome, Laffy Kat.

My friends and neighbors all use Chewy. I have used them for about 6 years and am very satisfied. I did not know until you posted today about the condolence flowers. I will keep using them for all my pet needs. Any company that cares is a rarity and I am happy to patronize them.

[Lochloosa]

29. My 2 step-sons finally got an apartment and moved out.

🕺

[debm55]

48. I wish you well with the extra room and freedom that gives you.

[Lochloosa]

56. ...

[Sibelius Fan]

34. Started a new job that pays great.

[debm55]

49. Wow, getting a new job with better pay does make a great week. Congradulations

[Niagara]

35. Let me see.

I've been slowly decluttering items in my home, especially paperwork that's obsolete.



We have an Italian Market in my area that's extremely popular. I keep popping in every Thursday and to purchase a medium-sized container of their deli vinegar coleslaw. I'm addicted to the stuff.


I made a fresh large batch of hummingbird food and stored the leftover's in the frig.


I didn't spend an obscene amount of money on an unsafe adventure.


I felt productive last week.

[debm55]

50. You were so busy and lucky this week.

[Mr.Bill]

37. My car was in the body shop

for a minor bump on the right front bumper. (If you can call $2,000 minor)

It got fixed, on time and the work was perfectly done. I picked it up yesterday.

[debm55]

51. Yes, good for you!! Will insurance cover any of the work?

[Mr.Bill]

57. Yes, we had a $500 deductible, though.

I was just nervous because this body shop was new to me. The other one I have always dealt with went out of business, and these people took over their building. They had excellent reviews and they were not a new business, they just moved to this larger building.

A nice touch that I didn't expect was when I picked the car up it was completely detailed inside and out. That would have easily cost up to $200. They even had an arrangement with the rental car company that allowed me to just leave my rental at their shop, and the rental place came and got it.

[Scottie Mom]

38. I wasn't on the Titan. EOM

[debm55]

52. Scottie, you are one lucky woman, that's for sure.

[ariadne0614]

44. I spent the week in Toronto.

Haven’t seen my daughter since her baby girl was 4 months old. We celebrated Finley’s 2nd birthday, and I experienced the magic of a happy, active toddler’s world. It was exhausting and wonderful.

[debm55]

53. That is so sweet and touching. I bet your heart jumped for joy when you saw Finley. Your love for

her shines through your post.

[leighbythesea2]

45. I got a promotion

Woot

[debm55]

54. leigh--good for you and congratulations. So happy for you.

60. Thank you!!!

[LNM]

46. this is nothing compared to the good news shared by others on this thread

but this week I was finally able to breathe clean (no fires) air and take 3 3-4 mile hikes in the Minnesota northwoods. I've only recently heard of the term "forest bathing" but it has been my go-to for many years.

[debm55]

55. LNM--there is no small best. Taking a walk in clean fresh air and going on a 3/3-4 hike is a

blessing and I can tell from your post that you totally enjoyed it. Continue my friend to enjoy yourself in the clean air of the forest.

[LNM]

63. Thank you Debn55

And I hope you get some relief soon for what you’re going through.

[Mr.Bill]

58. Living in Northern California,

I know exactly how you feel.

[LNM]

62. Yes! The smell of hot pine. Nt

[yellowdogintexas]

61. I finally finished a blanket for my sister-in-law. It has taken me forever !

It's crocheted using a Bernat cake yarn in black, white and 3 shades of gray (it is called Ebony & Ivory) and I used a large larksfoot stitch. It turned out very nicely.
