Emerson

Look at this darling puppy named Emerson. Wouldn't Emma love to meet him?
The sad news he lives in Texas.
The good news he has a wonderful family and is my friend's Granddog! She shared the photo with me.

MEDICAL TEST TODAY was helpful. I will only say that it may give us some clues on what to do to help with my abdominal pain that seems to be related to digestive system issues. More tests next week before we make a plan on how to deal with it all. I am pleased to be one step closer to knowing what is going on and dealing with it.

NURSE EMMA was joined by NURSE ROSIE who was here with me as I recovered from today's test. Lots of snuggles, wet kisses, and love from both of them. Boy that made me feel better.

A quiet day planned for tomorrow - oops I guess today. It is 2:30 am. Back to bed I go...

Have a good day... Mary and Emma

Emma Marie "Hairy" Weinand

Oh my Goodness,

I think I have to add hairy to Emma's name now.
She is really blowing her coat, shedding or whatever you want to call it.

Today we took the Metromobility Bus
She doesn't like it and only will stand by me in the aisle
Nope she wont lay down I think due to how much the floor vibrates
Rarely find a driver who wil let her on the seat

When she gets nervous she sheds even more
Since it was so hot last week she seems to still be shedding more
Today's ride almost an hour so she sheded a lot.

I pet her to sooth her as we ride.
Well I was getting handfuls of hair
Then I look at little puffs of hair are floating around
Ugh that has never happened
Not when I brush her pretty much daily
Sometimes more than once per day.

Well after the trip
(Luckily the two passengers and driver loved dogs)
We stayed outside of the Y in the yard for awhile
I had a brush I normally use after swimming
Well she liked that brush more than her normal ones (it had nylon brisstles)
I am pretty picky on what type of brush I like and she is too
Well she loved mine - yeah

I brushed so much off of her it was unbelievable
Unbelievable
Over and over I filled the brush
Plus the hair that flew into the air
Well we were still early
So I brush
She played a bit
I sat outside a bit with her laying down
And brushed again

She looked like she lost weight to me ha ha
Time to take her to Petco again
When they groom her they do a lot of extra brushing for me
It helps too.

Funny I had a comb I could use
Now that brush will be "hers" as she seemed to like it so much
I have another one like it to use for me.

So Hairy Miss Emma I still love you.
I know you shed all the time
Remember that Judy (foster mom who raised her 2.5 years?)

You are worth all the brushing, all the hair i sweep up too.

But gosh would love to know if it was just the heat of last week
and the stress today
or what
caused you to need to shed so much today!!

Well if that is my biggest issue with you = aren't I so darn lucky???

I love you my Emma Marie Hairy Weinand
I couldn't imagine one day without you.


Have a good Wed = I have a medical procedure.
Since I am being dropped off and the room sterile she will be home for about three hours.
Husband will drop me off and go to work
Son will pick me up and doesn't work till afternoon.

If I feel okay after a late am nap - Rosa will stay with me...I think she will.
We will nap I hope in afternoon and/or we will watch a quiet video.
Later play outside. Emma and I love time with her.

Emma and Mary wish you a good day.

Waiting

I am terrible at waiting.
i think Hell could be just waiting and waiting and not knowing for how long...

My son left today and is in Denver...he has waited there hours on a lay over.
turned out his plane to SF had mechanical issues
Finally a new plane came and pilot had timed out.
So he has to stay the night and fly out tomorrow afternoon.
but most the day he waited...

He is updating us via computer that is night.
Emma and Greg and I went to breakfast with all the kids, spouses and grandkids
It was fun to do this before Dan went to the airport
but I was teary eyed.

I am so blessed to have such a great family.

Greg has been pushing though not feeling well for a few days and ended up going to urgent care
He sure isn't feel well now = antibiotics should help

Emma is doing great and the day was ok. Glad I am not waiting in an airport. I guess now they are putting him up in a hotel till tomorrow afternoon flight.


Hope you had a good weekend.
Mary and Emma

Hi On Saturday

Sorry I haven't blogged for a few days. Life has been uneventful except for my son moving.

I am out of kleenix due to mixed emotions as my youngest son Dan moves to San Francisco.
I encourage you to check out tout.com to see where he will work and this new idea for keeping in contact with others.
Soon he will have short videos, my kids too, and hopefully Emma and I.
It is free.

I hope to see Danny again tonight but Greg is not feeling very good so not sure.
We do plan to see him Sunday for breakfast early before his flight. All my children and grandchildren hope to be there.
I know this is a great opportunity for him but boy will I miss him. I don't have much funds to go visit and besides I will miss visiting him in Uptown of Mpls...yes so much closer to see him ha ha.
Becky reminds me I taught my kids to dream big and so I did...so off he goes to follow his dream...a creative, exciting job opportunity.

Was so hot this week. Today warm but not so humid. I think it might reach almost 90 but not so humid. I was able to sit outside awhile with Emma insread of just watching her from the patio door. We also hope to get her to Target or somewhere today or Sunday to walk in the cool. Roads are pretty ripped up around here. Emma and I both need change of scenary. Maybe I will feel better this week - I keep hoping - so we can go back to water exercise and just get out of the house more. I need that.

Emma is the greatest company ever though. I am so very very glad to have her in my life.

Have a good weekend. Mary

Hot...

They say it feels like 123 here today and gosh am I hot.
YES we have fans and air conditioning thank goodness.
Still it feels hot and stuffy in the house - my air conditioner can't keep up with this temp and humidity.

We are not moving much just trying to stay cool.

How boring is that for a post...Mary and Emma

sunday Night

Hi to Readers,


A very warm and humid day here. Emma was out only briefly each time to do her duty. She did not want to be out even a second more and understandable.

We had a quiet day. Not much going on but a little bit of chores...and a huge nap...and many cold showers for me. Even with AC on I was warm. I had to wear my cooling vest indoors and that really helped.

Lots of concerns on our minds today. too many people I know are sick, or have other concerns. Wish I had a magic wand and could make things easier for so many right now.

We are off to bed..hope to put the worries to sleep. Hope you are coping with your life....Mary and Emma
