Geezerette, you are not allowed a break if just bee leaves for 3 full days!!! I will go into crisis mode and need therapy.

Actually I need all of you!!

Maybe we should rename this the "Compact and Therapy" thread!  🙃

If we renamed this thread we would have 400 responses in two minutes.😊

I'm old school -- I still use a PC.  The hotel might have one for guests' use so I'll check in when I can.  But considering the conference schedule,  @geezerette might have to fill in.

I'll actually be gone five days!

It is therapy.  We're just the alternative to retail therapy.  I think we qualify: We're a group, we communicate, we share information and experiences, we encourage one another, we have similarities (universality), we have goals and we have a commitment to change our behaviors.

The good thing is that we're not on a schedule and our time is never up.  So, to make it official...

How does that make you feel?

Ar, ar, ar, ar.

Is it me, or is this month flying by?

It's already the second weekend of Balloon Fiesta and it all ends tomorrow morning.

Ow.  I was in the middle of typing this when I noticed WGD was having idiopathic head tremors.  Calls for a handful of kibble strewn on the floor.  He concentrates on finding each little nugget and the tremors subside.

But he had just polished off the last of his kibble for breakfast, so I had to scramble to open the new bag.  With kibble in hand, I crashed into the bar stool between the kitchen and dining room with my toe.

The expletives woke up BH who wandered out to tell me he had an altercation with our neighbor yesterday.  She had two dogs in her yard, both muzzled, face to face, barking incessantly at each other while she and another sat on their phones.  The neighbor explained that the dogs were getting used to each other.

Evidently not.

BH suggested the dogs go to a neutral spot like a park to work it out.  The neighbor said he was berating her.  While all this was going on, the dogs sat, silent.

So now we've met the neighbors.

And BH sliced the tip off his thumb this week while cutting up tomatoes.

But it looks like the balloons will fly this morning.  Already inflating on the field.

Good times.

@just bee, the month is certainly flying by.  Have fun on your trip. It sounds like it could be interesting. 

Everyone is is not allowed to leave.

Well, Ladies, sometime life just throws you a curve ball as we all have experienced lately in one form or another. Most of my free time lately has been helping a family member through a medical issue, I am exhausted and the one thing that really sprang up for me is the fact it really does pay to have less stuff and everything in its place. My home is a mess in one form or another due to varying projects and every time I came home I was overwhelmed because I just didn’t have the energy to deal with certain things. This morning I am straightening up some and trying to develop a plan of attack. It is time to get motivated again. 

I bought too many pants lately and I liked all of them but I washed them up and the fabric couldn’t be worse feeling. They didn’t feel like that before. But I will still wear them.  They are mostly jeans which I am surprised I bought since I started moving away from them.  I hope they still fit decent.  At least they weren’t very expensive. But this was a fail for me as I thought I could wear them for a long time and now it is questionable.  

Life throws curve balls and we have to be prepared for them.  It is astounding what we take for granted. 

Anyway, I have to run for now.  I hope you all have a nice weekend, 

[geezerette]

Just don't start charging me $300 an hour for all these pithy thoughts! 

Ar, ar, ar, ar...😄

I'm not going anywhere until November so you're stuck me with for a couple more weeks.

I'm still walking around wondering what the ____ I've signed up for.  But I was determined to do something out of the ordinary this month.  Even though it'll happen next month.

That means I'll have to come up with something besides the gun show this month.

Maybe BH and I can do something weird for our birthdays.

Uh-oh.  A balloon just hit some power lines.  Must investigate...
