Morning Michelle, I also hope the laser therapy works. That is what they used on her when she had her first IVDD episode. It seemed to help her then. Yes it is red light therapy. This is also the treatment they use on Molly. Speaking of Molly, we have to take her to her appointment today. Flying trip up and back, want to get back home to Sadye, I will be giving her pain med before I go, so she will rest while I'm gone. Yes it is very upsetting when they aren't feeling well. If only they could tell us what hurts or what they need. I hope you have a great day, and an awesome week, sending you and Penny, love and hugs!

Good morning, Susan. I’m sorry to hear Sayde has had a bit of a set back. I hope the laser therapy machine helps her to feel more comfortable. I don’t think I know what that is, how does it work? Is it the same idea as a red light therapy machine? I always feel so bad when I think Penny isn’t feeling well. She seems to get more quiet and has the saddest look on her face. Breaks my heart to think she may be in pain and that she can’t tell me. When she’s not feeling well it’s typical for her to start shaking and to come up close to us. I almost get a bit panicky when she does this because I’m not sure what is wrong. The first time she did it was about 2 years ago and she didn’t eat her dinner the night before. She woke me up by standing on my pillow shaking. I took her out and then decided to feed her even though it was very early. She was fine after that so we figured it was because she was hungry and her little tummy was growling. She has done it a few times since then. I hope you had a nice weekend and have a great new week ahead. Sending love and hugs to you and Sayde 💜

Saturday Sprinkle for our Sweeties
I think Ed has the perfect attitude for this work related change up.  It sure does make a difference when you have a work buddy that you're in sync with. Work can be fun with the right crew or absolute hell  with the wrong ones. Haven't made up my mind yet about the beach. It's quite overcast.  Laura is going to call around noon Mike mentioned maybe doing something later after my beach time
Not feeling particularly motivated to do anything at the moment. Wow, you have been a bundle of energy the past couple of days! What's your secret? Going to get dressed and grab another coffee before Laura calls. Oh, btw....Amanda is serving J with separation papers today. Hope that goes well. Her lawyer advised it could speed up getting him out of the house, while they hammer out divorce details.  Love up on our sweet Sis for me. Sending my Bestie lots of love, hugs and kisses  ♥️♥️♥️

Night Sprinkle for our Sweeties!
Had a good day. I got my shopping done, came home, unpacked ans sat out by the pond. Ham & cheese for supper. I know Mike has mixed feelings about John....glad he's got a good job but he will miss him. John has always lived close by & now all 3 kids live far away. Yeah, sister Jen is kind of a mess right now. Poor Ed...how does he feel about this change in his job? I know he's such a good employee. I hope they realize what a good man they've hot. How do you feel about the 6 day work week? Will he still be in Missouri?  I do believe Sis is on the menu! Such a relief! I'm hoping to make it to the beach tomorrow.  Hope the water isn't too frigid! I best stop writing before I get cut off again. Long winded! Sending my Bestie lots of love, hugs and kisses  ♥️♥️♥️

Hello Susan. I hope you are having a nice day. It’s another beauty of a day that I would love to bottle up. I just got back from the store. I had to buy a bag of carrots to make a soup recipe that I found for dinner. I hope it comes out good because I’ve never made this one before. How is Sadye feeling with her back? I hope she is doing better. Sending love and hugs to you and Sayde💜

Friday Sprinkle for our Sweeties! I sure like your Halloween pots! Glad you're enjoying the wigglies quest. Just finished spotting in under 50 minutes. Yesterday it was 11 minutes! 😳 I'm still not sure about the beach. I need to grocery shop and I might just go get that done. Tomorrow is another Mackinaw City "event".
Around dusk there is a parade of trucks across the bridge (from St. Ignace) follow a route through town and then go back across the bridge. I guess it's like a truck beauty pagent,  as they are all painted up,  named, etc...
Nit my cup if tea,.but people come from all around to sut out in the streets in lawn chairs to watch. So once again, town will be crowded.  That's why I want to scoot up.there and get my shopping done. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer, so may plan on a beach day then.
John leaves for Arkansas on Tuesday and I could tell that Mike has had it with the shelling out money. I  suggested that we could wait and go later with just Damon, for our dinner out. Jen also is daily asking Mike fir one thing or another, she's gotten very needy with this divorce business. So, I'm leaving him in peace to deal with all of his family drama. Poor Ed,  I do

Night Sprinkle for our Sweeties!
Had a very nice, "Me Day". No time by the pond, cause it got overcast by mid afternoon, so just read on the couch. John's 1st day of work is on the 29th & he plans on settling  in the week before. He's renting a house, but needs to buy basics . Susie, I can't even imagine how much money his Dad has given him. I really hope he pays him back. Ugh....don't get me started! Holly finally called Mike today.  I didn't ask why the delay. Best to keep mum when it comes to those "kids". Glad you got your pickles made. Yes, that can be quite time consuming, but worth it.
Sounds like your crop is winding down, so maybe not much more canning in your future. Thinking of making a pork stir fry with rice and Asian slaw for supper tomorrow.
I hope Sis is feeling a little better in the morning.  It is a slow process. Keeping her in my prayers. Sending my Bestie lots of love, hugs and kisses ♥️♥️♥️

Night Sprinkle for our Sweeties! It was a very nice evening and Mike was duly impressed with all if the  meal , gifts, etc.... We made it up to 73° today. So I'm thinking by Friday the water may have warmed up! Glad Sis felt good enough to go for a little stroll out to Kathy's.
John did hear from Andy and John came by in person. He didn't mention Holly, so I assume she didn't call or text. Mike wants to go out for another nice dinner with John before he leaves & Damon will be home from school next week, so I guess he's taking the 4 of us out. I am surprised, he got sentimental tonight talking about John leaving and said now all three of his kids live out of state.
I am beat....it was fun, busy day,.but I'm fading fast.  Off to find my Bestie in Dreamland!  Love, hugs and kisses ♥️♥️♥️

Hello Susan. Larry’s blood pressure is good so he’s continuing with the same dose of medicine. The doctor wouldn’t give him a handicap hangtag for the car. She said if he loses weight that will help. He wasn’t happy about that. He has tried numerous times to lose weight and if he does it’s just temporary. I really think he needs knee replacements and losing weight isn’t going to help that completely. She’s young and a newish doctor…the daughter of his doctor that retired earlier this year. She’s a typical textbook kind of doctor. Everything is either black or white and no in between for her. It seems like she doesn’t realize that one size does not fit all. He hurt his back last week. He thinks he twisted getting in the car. He told her about it and asked if she could prescribe a muscle relaxer…maybe about a weeks worth so the muscle can loosen up and heal. She wouldn’t give him that either and instead wrote him a script for physical therapy. He told her he doesn’t need physical therapy. He said he doesn’t have a bad back but instead he just hurt it. She offered no other options. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I have a feeling he will be going to a different doctor within the practice and I have t

healing and all covered with new skin but all red and sore....of course putting weight on it doesn't help.   thanx so much for your concern    Hugs
