Last Notes npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I've not watched it either npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie If yours is doing it going into settings and change your wallpaper. They replaced it with a Walmart ad wallpaper npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Good morning and a big HOORAY! to that Lion's comeback! It was awesome! npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie And in the interest of over sharing here's a little video of me teaching her to sit https://streamable.com/8l39hd npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I had a hard time figuring out which photo to use of Monkey. Here's another one of her and Sierra when she was a pup. I walked out on the patio and found them together like this. https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/113/465/037/288/715/134/original/8c1dc668faf11219.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie #DailyChatPix This little cutie was my youngest son's dog #Monkey Don't let that sweet face fool you. Immediately after I took the pic she jumped off the rock, grabbed a stem from the yucca plant behind her, looked at me and knowing I don't want her in the prickly plants and cactus past the river rock she plotted her next move - which was to run to my left like a bat out of hell through the doggy door into the house, around the sofa then under a bed. https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/113/464/991/750/375/948/original/bf414cf77fc6c4f3.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I just voted for [@mama_ezekiel](https://chattrbx.com/@mama_ezekiel ) again.

Ta da! π https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/113/313/062/678/734/797/original/0ea1fe069b13fc00.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie She took to sleeping with me at night and gave me a lot of comfort. Last night I was waiting for an Amazon order and when the doorbell rang I was in a spare room. I started to turn the corner and for a second I looked for her. It happens. We don't ever forget them. I shook it off quickly. npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie When he took off that day for parts unknown he tried to sneak Sierra out of here. That didn't last long. He didn't get more than a few miles down the road and her car sickness set in and he had to bring her back. npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Once I made it clear I wasn't going to put up with it any longer the abuser left. It's been about 2 years now. When he left he took something from me that wasn't his to take. A little crocheted dog that I made to resemble my dog Sierra who passed away within days after I joined the whale site. npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Most are you probably saw me talk on the whale site at times about the emotional abuse that I went through for many years. Back then I became a shell of myself. It took a lot of hard work, determination and getting downright angry to pull myself out of it. That anger wasn't only directed at him. It was also directed at myself for letting him put me in the state that I was in npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Woke up this morning with a horrid headache and a knot in the back of my neck. Finally kicked it and been busy around the house. Sure is nice having the temperature go down. This is going to be a short, yet personal thread. It will start out a little bit somber but will end in a good way npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Heat warnings are now extended through Tuesday π₯΅ And the Hurricane's at Cat 4 npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Today was my twin brother's birthday. I wrote a little about them here last week. Link below. Going outside while it's still nice out to get some yard work done and clear my head https://elk.zone/chattrbx.com/@ConnieAz/113132047630154366 https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/113/159/496/263/865/461/original/d5097ef9345c4fa6.jpg https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/113/159/507/872/936/577/original/95bb93ebf957dbfe.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I don't think my parents ever did any of those things. Heck when we were four or five years old we went to the lake and fished by ourselves. Ran up and down rocks in the nearby river and all kinds of things that could have gotten us in a real mess. Some how, some way we survived it all npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie The minute I found out I was going to be a grandmother the first time the pool in my backyard was removed and I put plug protectors and every outlet, locks on some lower cabinets and a brace for the large television so I didn't have to worry about that either. When he was at an age where he was walking in his face and mouth were right at the height of two glass table tops in the house foam bumpers were put around them. That child was not going to get hurt under my watch npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie This breaks my heart every single time it happens. π₯Ί npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Sadly this has happened several times this summer here in the valley ππ Drone video on tv showed there is a pool fence around the pool. There's no word yet on how he managed to wind up in the pool. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/child-in-extremely-critical-condition-after-being-pulled-from-phoenix-backyard-pool npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Microplastics have been found in the human brain Anyone surprised? https://ssnews.page.link/4gPqxofJWpNsQMkc8 npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie That was one part of it that I really enjoyed while I was there. Learning about their culture. Oddly the culture shock was worse when I came home after 2 years. No more nightly curfews, no more ration control, no more bartering in stores. It took of it to get used to again npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie It was. In many many ways π npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I could but won't write a book about all my experiences in South Korea. I was 24 years old when I went there. I immediately snagged a civil service job as a secretary for a general, was handed an enormous amount of responsibility and had no freaking clue what I was doing at first. It was a good experience and I grew up fast. In the end I was given a Secretary of the Year award for that dept at a banquet. Makes me laugh as I was the only secretary they had that year π npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie #Chattories Part 2 Once inside the building she ran to the supply office, checked out a gas mask as required at all times on base. She had left hers behind. From there she waded through the deep #water inside the building to get to her office and immediately started fielding telegrams keeping the general and other officers up to date on the planes sent to Yokota Air Base in Japan. As the #water got deeper the building was secured and everyone evacuated to the upper floors of a nearby barracks npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie #Chattories With a typhoon warning in the Yellow Sea predictions of a direct hit meant staying in the rickety house in downtown Kunsan South Korea was not a safe option. She hailed a taxi to the Air Force base. Once there she had to run through a flooded grassy area scattered with large trees that she stopped and braced herself behind as each strong gust of wind and driving rain hit her. By the time she made it to the building the #water was up to her waist and she looked like a drowned rat npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie π€£ I showed him one of them but not the Gotham City one npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I made a couple bat signals last night.

I'm making this up as I go along with it. Plan is for it to be a hacky sack. So far it's measuring right. https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/112/996/957/760/200/144/original/5070555e28aa21e5.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Thank you! π npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Got it done. For awhile I had a cat sitting next to me totally mesmerized as I was stiching the front piece to the back. https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/112/979/521/569/799/865/original/59fbcc30993a9a01.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I'm almost finished with the crochetted pot pillow. Am at the point of stiching the two layers together. Brought it along with me and have to sneak in time to work on it as it is a bday gift for one of the kids. Meanwhile, after some amusing moments somebunny did finally come across the sweet potato stuffy and it's safe and sound on his work desk. npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie I do the same when I'm crocheting some things. Some of them need the stitches to be really tight. That's why I bought ergonomic crochet hooks. They definitely help npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie This one is, only cuz it's something that I've done quite a lot and it's small and knowing where to decrease and increase helps. There can be a lot of head scratching and math sometimes. Going to fill most of it with some little plastic pellets so it can stand up on its own. Down to the bottom of it now and need to stop and do it's mouth before closing it up.

I don't like how the author of the pattern did this. The one on the left should have been worked differently instead of doing both the same. By doing them both the same the one on the left has a small spot that's got curves that are bumpy. I'm going to rewrite that part of the pattern. I got the legs, toes and fingers done and all that's left after fixing the wings completely will be the horns. I need to bend some wire for that https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/112/804/939/170/885/646/original/390137451f726e21.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/112/803/050/965/670/738/original/b4ab60532b9d2522.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Man somehow I manage to make it in every one of these ππ npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie Between laundry and baking and a bit of yard work I managed to get some more done https://chattrbx.com/system/media_attachments/files/112/798/321/756/380/067/original/490088513e1f0048.jpg npub1akcfv6tqs0zjyhknq7wrmqqlqxtf3lzewl9h5vt2wpyncu0yujvsuf8pq2 Connie These are what I'm going to work on.

Coricidin is keeping it loose and productive. No fever. I did take a Covid test this morning and it's negative.
