Just a quiet day at home!

Caeli surveying her beach domain from my flower bed!!!!!!!! No wonder they aren't growing at that end.

Turned out it was a good thing we had no plans as the repair fellow finally came by, only 4 days late. More repair details another day. Great view from our roof.

Colin thinks my posture at the computer would be better by using the ball.....I honestly could not get my balance. Yet he even can play guitar on it!

Then there is Carmeh who somehow managed to climb up on the ball at home to when she wanted to use the computer!!!!

It was pizza night again, I guess I put too many toppings on!

So very very good, we ate every bite.

We caught another mouse yesterday,  Carmeh let us know he was there.  We know they come in via the generator at the front or the back engine so we keep poison pellets there plus we keep a few sticky traps in the same areas.  Now this morning Carmeh is telling us we have something in the bedroom, under the bed where the engine is.  Extra traps being put out as we speak or as I type:)  At least they are outside.  We have managed to conquer the ants, Colin could write a novel about ants.  We don’t have any inside plus we have managed to keep it all pet safe re poison on the ground.  We use vaseline!

MOM UPDATE:

Still in the main hospital but has been moved 3 more times in the last few days.  I think she is in her 16th bed ( room )!  No wonder people get sick in a hospital, parading down the corridors.  Unfortunately Mom’s blood pressure has gone rather low plus she is experiencing severe edema in her ankles and legs which was one of the reasons she had heart surgery.  At least she is in the right place to have this all checked out.

    I have one of those balls. They are awesome for low back pain. I haven’t tried it for a while because of the knee, but I think I’m almost there. I’ll have to make sure Stan is close by just in case I roll off. BTW Millie is doing fabulous. The pain is lessoning and I took her to get her staples out yesterday. She is walking beautifully and her flex is already over 95%.
