Wednesday 09-05-2018 – Sadly It's Lost Socks Memorial Day

What a day I have had, I have had a reaction to a new medication, been building up until I could no longer take it. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with my Dr and she was horrified and apologetic and we had a few laughs when I was able to keep my eyes open(I fell asleep in the waiting room} and awake and not going bright red from med induced flushing. Upshot is I no longer take those meds and should feel better in a few days. Thank goodness she had me on what she called a ‘baby dose’. I’ve not felt this terrible for a long time.
AV, interesting about your cycling and possibly a little wine involved. I really needed that giggle. Hope you weren’t hurt in the tumble.
PM, inherently unbalanced- I can picture that. I was definitely medically unbalanced today.
KJ, I used to love whizzing down a nearby hill as fast as I could, I cycled everywhere as a child and even when I left school and went to work. I had one nasty fall off my bike as a 10 year old and wonder if that may have been the beginning of my knee problems as I damaged one pretty darn good.
Beds, I had to look up platform beds, slightly different to a slat bed in that the mattress is on a sold platform. My inquiring mind wonders how you prevent the underside of the mattress from sweating from body heat above and it being trapped by the platform. Have had a baby mattress become mildewy that way.

MS – glad your doctor was able to see you and change your meds! That’s scary, and nasty.

Love the cat that puts the socks in the litter box. Brunnhilde, a cat of my childhood, brought home the neighbour’s gardening gloves.

Unbalanced – I have a permanent sideways lean from scoliosis. MS, looks like the forecast rain has changed direction and will flood Tasmania instead. We’re still expecting a good dump but we can postpone ordering the ark.

“I’m not eating your sock and static cling.” Awww, Fluffy kit socks!

I rarely wear socks but now am throwing out old, stretched ones and getting all the same type. My kits have never been sock thieves.

Presidential Socks

So glad your GP took you off the meds. Thankfully, you didn’t have a fatal reaction, MS. That makes sense, PM, but there goes my imaginary tangent about being inherently unbalanced. 😉

I learned to ride my bike at 5 and am surprised I didn’t have more broken bones. Not a care in the world but that was not in an urban area. Stairs were always a particular challenge.

Trash p/u is tomorrow so it’s time to clean the litter boxes. Cya

Have a happy~

Woot – woot, midweek good morning with purrz and socks!
Luved Socks and the Clintons – sure better than #Drumpf! (thanks PG)

Well, looks as if Tux found Moochie’s li’l pink sock!

plus here’s a cute purry pair to put in sock drawer!

Hee hee…

Ok, back to desk…officemate is still off with crud or??
Solo fun so need more java now!

Make it a double Tux, thanks…later/??

Good afternoon everyone!

MS, that’s so scary about your meds! So glad that you got that cleared up and that it wasn’t worse than it was!

I hate wearing socks also…I have a drawer full that I hardly ever wear. I tried wearing socks to bed when my feet were cold once and I almost lost my mind. 😆 Seriously, if my feet can’t feel the sheets it makes me wonky.

Well, I guess if I’m going to get my orchids repotted, now would be the time to do it. They are in need of some better potting medium and bigger pots, then maybe they will bloom this fall!

Cute pics today gang! …. I too keep missing socks, and eventually find them in odd places, like static/stuck to the back of Mr. AV’s shorts as he’s getting ready to walk out the door! LOL actually happended a couple of times …. good thing I caught them, before he had to meet people for work!

MS, I’m glad you could see your Dr. having a reaction to meds is bad, and can be very dangerous!

I’ve been inputting all day, and I usually keep the TV on as background noise … today has been a marathon of the old ‘Jaws’ movies LOL ….. kept me entertained, I haven’t seen them in years … even cheesier today!

Time for me to freezer dive for something for dinner, have a great one all!

Good morning all.
Socks, I am sure my neighbours must think I am married to a centipede because there are so many socks on the line when I do Mr MS’s washing. Combine that with wet weather that delays the washing and the number increases. Monday I had 36 socks on the line, all proper pairs so no lost socks this time. I tell you having an uneven number of socks on the line has me hurrying off to find the missing one.
I am feeling much the same as yesterday but all that will improve as the medication leaves my system. Just that thought helps even though I developed more symptoms overnight. Thinking positively. It’s a sunny day and the strong winds of the past few days have completely dropped. Daughter and SIL back from Hawaii and were greeted by overjoyed cats back from their cattery stay. I usually leave a small bouquet of flowers to welcome daughter back but what was on offer was not great so I bought them a pineapple instead. They had been to the Dole plantation and I love irony(I did have to cut the piece off the label that said ‘product of the Philippines) 😆 🙄 😆
He he he Presidential cat & socks 24/7
I am most definitely a barefoot girl or minimal footwear until Winter then socks are needed as I hate cold feet.
JK, I love the variety of coffee mugs that you post. I can never pick one over another so enjoy them all and wonder what the next days mug will be like.
KZ, I too have tried wearing socks in bed but it drove me to distraction and they were soon discarded. It’s only Winter when I can tolerate anything on my feet.
KJ, I have a small stash of lone socks awaiting the return of their mate but after few months they get paired with any other lone socks. No one can see what Mr MS is wearing in his work boots. However it does bother me, I hate unmatched socks and I even hang them in pairs on the line which makes them quick and easy to fold up as I take them off the line.
KJ, hang in there and deal with the most urgent thing first but make sure you are eating regularly as that will help keep you mind unfuzzed. Yeah look who is giving advice, she who is feeling the same. We can’t stop the world and get off but we can slow the spin by dealing with one thing at a time. Hugs.
AV, LOL at Mr AV with static socks on his butt. He he, you have picked up on my freezer dive saying. Time I did the same thing.. . . . . .
Mmmmmm venison steaks for dinner here.
Comet, well done on the ears and oh la la a complimentary pedicure.

You have given me a lot of insight into NZ weather. The people I know best in the Southern Hemisphere are Argentinian and Chilean (some were former refugees here who have move back home, or their children, others people I’ve met at courses and conferences). And that is a long way east of you.

I almost never wear socks at night in our frozen waste. And yet my feet get very cold, so I fold an extra blanket at the bottom of my little bed, which is also a great cat target. Livia doesn’t sleep with socks at night, perhaps for catnaps in the daytime. And I have a little “pairing station”; one of those small colourful plastic containers one buys at Dollarama. It lives in the niche in my home office between the door to the front porch and the space freed up by the staircase to the flat below. It is very sunny, and cats sleep there, on the hardwood floors or on a cushion. Renzo died there.

I love mutts comixs too. And the style perfectly captures that of comics from 100 years ago, in the early 20th century. Such as the Katzenjammer kids!

Sending lots of good vibes to Muffy. (((Gentle hugs)))

Nothing like excellent workout music!

Dr. Tucker likes Comet. There’s nothing quite like an extra large black cat!

Yes KJ, food will not serve itself. If organizing give you warm fuzzies, then go for it! Organizing is something I do because it needs to be done.

It will take a few days but you’re on the mend now, MS. Bunches of healing light for Miss Muffy. It’s good your Dau and SIL made it back from Hawai’i. I would love to know all about the volcano. I love studying volcanoes because they are so cool…or hot. Since the weather is going to be nasty this weekend, maybe you should catch up on some old movies in front of fireplace.

I’m glad Comets’ ears are better and now, a pedicure.

I throw only socks back in the sock drawer to see if the mate comes up somewhere. Did you know, people used to darn their socks? I do too but usually when I’m cleaning out the sock drawer.

😆
