Good morning 3 am club. Old dog and some sinuses got me up. I am trying out the recliner to get a little more sleep before doing grandpa’s taxi run this morning. I don’t need sleep deprivation.

Catch you all later.

Did the recliner help?

So that's what happens with juggled balls!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wow! That looks amazing!

Thanks! It was so easy to make. My trainer liked it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all. I am definitely feeling better. I think I turned the corner over the weekend once I started taking the antibiotic.

I slept like a baby and fell asleep at nine, but woke up at 4:15.

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

 

[Lilianna23]

Well the weekend wedding was awesome! The bride is the baby cousin of my wife’s family. The last of the girls to get married. She was a flower girl in our wedding as a kid some 30+ yrs ago! She was beautiful, the groom handsome (ex-military so he and I had that secret handshake going), got to meet lots of his side, and see and catch up with the wife’s side. A couple I hadn’t seen since our wedding.

The venue was one of those barn style places, but the actual ceremony was in a bamboo garden! They had probably planted an acre or two with towering bamboo, made little trails and nooks with tea lights everywhere. Pretty magical. Had a bamboo bridge over a creek even. After the ceremony in the bamboo, then we moseyed over to the barn and drinks, dinner, and dancing ensued.

SWhoMBO’s family can let their hair down when they want and when the dance floor opened, we never stopped! Haven’t danced so much in I can’t remember when…in fact it’s been quite a while since I’ve even been to a wedding. Big family events…can’t beat ‘em!

Breezed over the last few days trying to catch up…hope everyone had a great weekend…Yellowstone Park MZ…

I'm glad you had fun, H! Were you appropriately attired? SWMBO approved?

 

[Lilianna23]

Someone explain to me how it is only Tuesday? It feels like this week has been forever already and should be Thursday. Maybe even Friday.

I may not make it to the end of the week...

I felt like that yesterday. Despite my culinary offerings, my trainer whipped my butt anyway. Maybe even harder since she might have suspected (correctly) that I maybe sampled the pancake cake! I was worn out yesterday!

 

[Boat1]

What am I doing on MY day? You ask?

Waiting patiently on SWhoMBO…to get her mess ready so we can go eat. Now in all fairness she called around looking for reservations for a place that has soft shell crabs…well…this ain’t Maryland, so no dice. So now, she’s posting pics from the wedding, time is ticking away…everything closes at 9pm…EDT…

Now I’m watching as Ms OCD is running around the back yard putting away things that couldn’t wait till tomorrow

Time is ticking away…

That might just be the funniest shit I ever read!

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh my goodness .. Lucky trainer that is amazing @Lilianna23

Thanks, G! It's really easy to make. One could use almost any kind of fruit in it, also. I'm going to make it the next time my kids are here. My babies will love it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank goodness they did I can be prepared?

Maybe. About as much as anyone could be prepared for the K+ & Lili show!

 

[Lilianna23]

Overslept a little this morning. That started the mood for the day.

Smoke from the Canadian fires swept through here, with air quality 3x worse than the "do not go outside" level. It's starting to clear some visually, but still 2x the don't go out levels.

Hope this clears soon. Everyone's eyes and sinuses are burning, even with HEPA filters running.

Hope you had a good day today!

That is miserable! A few years ago, we had fires on the "wet" side of the state. I couldn't take the dogs out without wearing my husband's paint respirator and some swim goggles. It wasn't a pretty sight but being able to breathe was worth it. Fortunately, we have a heat pump for air conditioning and were able to close up the house.

 

[Lilianna23]

Hello, my Lady K has COPD and is on oxygen 24/7. Going outside is not an option and tomorrow will be worse. Our air conditioning is running constantly. I hope the smoke from Canada ends soon so at least if she needs to go the doctor, I can get her there safely.

Take care of both of you, RJ!

 

[Lilianna23]

I don't know what your air quality numbers are, but close by here they were just under 1000.

For reference 0-50 is considered good, and 300 considered hazardous.
I've never seen numbers that high before!

O. M. GGGGG! I've never seen numbers that high!

Funny confession story...
While partying with friends, I popped off a 1,500 foot "emergency at sea" parachute flare in the Ozark Mountains.... it lit the woods on fire, unbeknownst to everyone else....

I came back, after putting the fire out and said
"It's OOOOKAY, we're OOOOKAY!"...

That has become a figure of speech within my circle of friends.... they never knew, until my return and announcement, that anything had taken place...

There's even something funnier, but I ain't gonna post that here!

Good morning caffeine consumers. Have a thoroughly therapeutic Thursday.

 

[Boat1]

Caffeine?...
You meant Tequila, right??

 

[nipplecaresser]

Maybe. About as much as anyone could be prepared for the K+ & Lili show!

What people don't realise is that Lili and Missk are an explosive combination. We established that Missk is an abbreviated version of Miss Potassium. What is less known is that Lili is a contraction of Water Lili. And when you mix potassium and water...

You're correct, in that THEY'RE BOTH extremely powerful.... helluvit is, they're EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

[Lilianna23]

I think the rain we got today helped keep our numbers low.
Tomorrow is looking to be a Challenge Day

Taxi Service in the morning with a stop at the mechanic's in between drop off/pick up to put new tires on the car. I've had oil changes before where I've had to sit outside just to breathe with all the petrochemicals in use at the auto shop.
Looks like I need to dig out one of my cloth masks with a pocket so I can load it up with disposable filters.

I hope your day wasn't too challenging, Likes!

 

[Lilianna23]

Not my best day. I was closing the gate on my deck and suddenly was swarmed by hornets. Definitely lucky that I made it out with only 4-6 stings, but I’m laying low today…

Oh, no! How are you today?

 

[Lilianna23]

Our air quality report is about 150 for my area...

Please stay indoors, RJ. Take good care of Mrs. RJ!

 

[Lilianna23]

My mom really struggled when we were in minnesota

Is she better since you've been home?

 

[Lilianna23]

Nah.... we all have struggles .. we bring them to each other for a word of support

What I love about this thread!

 

[Lilianna23]

I can smell smoke as I type

View attachment 2545627

I hope the smoke smell is not strong where you are, Likes.

Gods of Wind

I can hardly wait to see what @Wonderer67 and @nipplecaresser have to say...

 

[Lilianna23]

OMG, guys and Gals.... my apologies for my absence and lack of responses...
I've been "sidetracked" and probably will be for a few more days/ weeks....
Please DON'T let that effect the love and respect I have for y'all!!!!

As long as the "sidetracking" involves one GODDESS, I think we're all good here! You just take care of your Queen!

 

[Greylag]

Thanks, G! It's really easy to make. One could use almost any kind of fruit in it, also. I'm going to make it the next time my kids are here. My babies will love it!

Good for you
