Good morning! It's a beautiful, cool, sunny day here - perfect weather for all the outside work that needs to get done today. •I *think* (fingers crossed) that the huge oak trees in our paddock are done dropping acorns, so we're going to do one final sweep of acorn removal using the leaf vacuum attachment and rakes •clean hay sheds and tack room •clean tack •figure out locations for new hitching posts •hopefully, we can squeeze in time to ride •read •dinner: Mediterranean bowls w/falafel and hummus

I've always gotten migraines during certain times of my cycle. Right before AF, sometimes just as AF is finishing up, and right after ovulation. Mine usually only last a day or two, though.

So sorry about your friend, SKL. I'm glad you got to visit her. :grouphug:

This isn't someone who lives in your house, is it? I hope not, because I can't imagine how stressful that would be. :grouphug:

I remember reading about the link between powder and ovarian cancer years ago. I've never used it, but I remember it being heavily advertised when I was a kid. "A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away, have you had your sprinkle today" - yuck!

Ouch, Jen! My dh popped his calf muscle playing basketball a few years ago and I remember how painful it was for him. Hope you're on the mend soon!

Wow, I'm glad he went to the ER and that he's okay! I hope he has a quick recovery.

Good morning! It's Friday and it's September - yeah! :) Jean, hope the traffic isn't bad and the appt. goes well! Pink and Green, enjoy your peace and quiet! •school w/dd •order a new pair of work boots for ds18 •give dogs heartworm preventative •water plants •pick up prescription food at vet's •take dd to bookstore •play with puppies •ride horses •dinner: Japanese takeout

Yes, and if he doesn't have good life insurance, I would tell him he needs to get some (although it may be very pricey since his BMI is so high).

You want to wear gloves because if you touch your eyes or lips after handling the peppers, it can burn. I do this even with more mild peppers like jalapeños.

My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma after becoming very fatigued and anemic. I hope that whatever is causing your dad's problem isn't as serious. :grouphug:

Aww, poor guy. I hope he will be okay. :grouphug: :grouphug:

Amy, I'm so glad about your test results! Hope you get good news on the ultrasound, too. I've had many callbacks for additional pictures and ultrasounds, so I know how stressful it is. Hugs!

Sorry you're not feeling well! :grouphug:

Good morning! •school w/dd •get dd signed up for a new foreign language class •make another attempt at cleaning (got nothing done yesterday in this dept.) •straighten up garage •do some food prep (salad, hardboiled eggs, asparagus) •print out a few new recipes •weigh puppies in order to figure out dosage of heartworm preventative •dinner: miso glazed sea bass w/dashi broth

Hmmm. We used Oklahoma State German for my ds last school year and didn't have any problems with the course. They were always easy to get ahold of and very helpful.

Oh no, I hope he is okay.

I am happy for you!! :hurray:

Good morning! •school w/dd •the horse vet might be stopping out to do blood work on dd's pony •dust and vacuum my messy house •clean bathrooms •mop floors •straighten up pantry •dd violin lesson •no golf lesson for ds because of injured hand •dinner: roasted cauliflower tacos w/chipotle romesco

I just read about the two librarians that were killed. How absolutely tragic and senseless. :mad:

Got all caught up on my office work - yeah! Had to pay a whopping credit card bill (a big chunk of it was for my kids' upcoming classes) and our whopping property tax bills :ack2: Ordered fly spray. I'm sick of flies and can't wait until we get a hard freeze that zaps them. A guy is here doing maintenance on our lp tank and I have to wait until he's done before I can run to town for errands. The puppies are chasing each other all over the house and one just landed on her butt in the water bowl. Now I have a soaked puppy and a soaked kitchen floor. :) No big deal because I have to mop today anyway.

What a nightmare. I would have a very difficult time ever going back there, too. :grouphug:

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

Good morning! •catch up on my office work •school w/dd •run to post office and bank •pick up refill and food at vet's •stop at grocery store for a few things •mop tile floors •order fly spray for horses •dinner: Buddha bowls

Oh, how terrible. :( I hope things get better for them.
