Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I will try not to babble. I have my mother's tin of buttons, but don't count them. I like nachos. Nice quote. The meal looks good; winter meals are often soup for me. Strawberry margaritas are a favorite of mine. I'll pass on the wine. I haven't been to Surabaya. I'll salute Florence Nightingale. It's cloudy here, and there was some morning rain. I slept well, after taking a benadryl before bed and the prior night's lack of sleep. When I woke up, I didn't have time to stretch my back, and had a lot of tingling and numbness in my leg, plus some pain. I hobbled to the bathroom, then tried to stretch after I got back in bed. I hope the epidural steroids will start to kick in more as time goes on. I may try to do laundry today. I also want to clean the floor (the grout) in the downstairs bathroom. When the plumber came to check the boiler and toilet, he found I need some new pipes for the boiler. And I decided to get a new commode that's higher than the 1950's one that in there. He will come on Thursday to do all this. @Lady Hudson Happy Birthday to you and your twin! @StLouisCruisers That's good that Scott can work toward getting transferred to rehab. Congrats to FC Dallas and Ren. I use a trickle charger too, if gone for a while. @cat shepard That's bad about the accidents. @rafinmd I like that moody statue photo from Surabaya. @smitty34877 Sorry that fixing the oil tank leak may turn into something big. But I'm glad you have heat! Good luck with the closet cleanout. Hugs to you. @dfish Enjoy the wedding and family! Lovely view of fall foliage. @HAL Sailer Thank you for the update on your DH. I agree you will need to pace yourself during his attempts to recover, so that your needs are also taken care of. @RMLincoln I'm glad you slept better. Nice view. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. A friend of my DM used to give me brandied peaches in a jar at Christmas when I was growing up, and I thought I was very grown up, lol. It didn't have to be "fed"; never heard of that. The German fruit bread I make every year for Christmas doesn't use brandied fruits. I will salute chefs and UK waiters. Great quote. Pass on the meal (fish), drink and yes to the wine. I'll take Roy's meal. I haven't been to Rostock, although I've seen a good bit of Germany. 2 good days in history. It's rainy and cool here, with a temp of 56F. There was about 15 minutes of sunshine at one point, now gone. Sunday will have a high of 50, but 70 on Tuesday! I had insomnia last night, I think due to the steroid shot, and was awake until shortly after 2AM. I think I'll take a benadryl tonight. I had some leg pain on waking up (probably 1/3 of what it had been) and tingling. I went to PT late morning and did fine, followed by a quick stop in the grocery store. @sailingdutchy Bon Voyage to you and Martha! @StLouisCruisers Best of luck to Ren and FC Dallas this weekend. It's nice that DS won't have to fly in this time. @RMLincoln I felt weird about putting my name on the Care List, for some reason. Wow, your move is coming up fast! I do hope you can get some help. Your Spiritual Companioning group sounds lovely. I hope all the details that need to work out do so. @Cruzin Terri Continued prayers that everything works out for you and DH. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the photos. @Haljo1935 Sorry to hear about the port change, but the worst part is no notification and the continued selling of excursions. @dfish Safe travels tomorrow. @smitty34877 Continued prayers for you, Tana and the whole family. @Heartgrove Great photos. @Sharon in AZ I'm glad you got the ok to proceed with cataract surgery. I hope Craig's appointment went well today, and that your DSIL recovers well. @Vict0riann Good to hear that you're feeling better today. @durangoscots Susan, I hope your stomach feels better soon. Maybe some ginger ale? That always helps me. @Crazy For Cats Jake, that sounds like a good job on the gutters. I'd like something like that, but my house has box gutters. The stuffed pepper soup sounds good; I have a recipe and will have to make some soon. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. I don't think I need to evaluate my life today. Worldwide conflict resolution would be a great thing. I don't know if my usual at home dress of sweatpants and a t-shirt qualifies as dorky. Interesting quote. I like the meal, maybe on the drink (I've never had a mule) and yes to the wine. I have been to Santiago/San Antonio as the departure port for my SA/Antarctica cruise (they were striking at Valparaiso). A great day in medicine, and awful day in finance. Today is the pick day of the week. There's sunshine and a high temp later of 66F, after a 41F start this AM. It would be a good day for yard work, but I'll still take it easy. And curbside leaf collection doesn't start until the week of the 30th. Damp and chilly for the weekend. I still had leg pain and tingling in my leg when I woke up, but the pain was probably 1/3 less. So that's some progress, although I wasn't expecting much this soon. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the photos from Valparaiso, which I didn't get to see. @RMLincoln Lots going on! I'm sorry to hear the grandkids are sick, but you don't need to catch anything from them. I hope you get to move on the earlier schedule, with more help from the movers. @Haljo1935 I'm glad you got the Int'l DL. Sorry you're still feeling poorly from all your shots. @Quartzsite Cruiser Nice photos. @ottahand7 I hope you like the new oven; probably much advanced over your old one. @superoma I'm hoping to get both shots in the same arm, like last time, to avoid that scenario. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those with something to Celebrate.

Debbie, sorry about the meds. Wednesdays are procedure days at pain management clinic. A few people were having nerve ablations, a few like me were having epidural steroid injections.

Lenda, maybe that's what it was. It's almost back to the usual tingling, not that terrible numbness. And you had to have a driver or they wouldn't do the procedure.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I will salute global dignity. Sometimes it's hard to love your body, due to appearance or how it's functioning. It's easy to get information overload. Love the Kubler-Ross quote. I like the meal, drink and wine. I've never been to Riga. 3 good days in history. It's 58F and cloudy here, but going up into the low 60's. Another bad night of sleep, waking at 2AM, then 4AM with leg pain. I've been up since 4AM. My Apple watch shows 3.5 hours of sleep! I'm back from my procedure. It wasn't too bad. I had to lay on my stomach with my head in this circular pillow. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to breathe. The going into the spinal canal was a lot of pushing; I felt some pressure, but they'd used a lot of local anesthetic, so no pain. It was a bit scary when I came home because the right leg was tingling a whole lot and felt numb. As I made some coffee, I wasn't sure I could stand up without support. That has subsided some. BFF stayed until he felt I would be ok on my own. I may not see any effect for from a few days to a couple of weeks. Last night eating out, I only had soup with noodles, so the stomach was ok. And I was coerced to drink a shot of Jägermeister! @marshhawk Bon Voyage to you and Chuck! @SusieKIslandGirl Happy Birthday! @Seasick Sailor Happy Birthday Joy! @NextOne Prayers that you're doing well. @57redbird Prayers that all goes well with your DH's procedure. @grapau27 Hugs to Pauline on this sad anniversary. It's nice she can spend time with her brother today also. @rafinmd I hope your Oncologist visit goes well today. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for thinking of me! @cat shepard @smitty34877 @RMLincoln @Quartzsite Cruiser @ger_77 @Cruising-along @bennybear Thank you for the good thoughts. @RedneckBob I like that quote! @Haljo1935 You're brave, getting 3 at once. @Lady Hudson I'm glad you decided to take the cruise with your twin. I'm glad your DH Bill is feeling fine. @Heartgrove I'd be upset about no lab orders put in by your doctor, after fasting and going to the lab. @cruising sister Thanks for sharing a bit of good news about Murphy; I hope it continues. @superoma I use the library mainly to download books to read. They do have many classes and other things going on too. @ottahand7 I hope John is able to fix the oven. @dfish Thanks for the recipes. I hope you get the medication straightened out. My doctor who's helping me with my weight did an A1C and it was normal, so I didn't qualify for those meds (I was happy about that). She mentioned Metformin, but with my stomach issues I said no, just let me work on the diet (and hopefully exercise if I can get my back and leg feeling better) for now. I hope your day gets less frustrating! @Nickelpenny I'm glad you had a good visit with your PCP. I hope you find out the cause of the numbness. @ger_77 Safe travels tomorrow. @happywandering @spkack Welcome to the Daily! @Vict0riann Thanks for the heads up; I'll make the change. I'm sure Pat's medical issues are making travel a bit harder, but you'll get it done. @durangoscots Be careful walking the dogs that you don't fall. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'm my own boss now, since retirement. I love pasta, but try to limit it due to the carbs. I don't think I have anything gaudy. Good quote; that's something it took me a while to understand. I'll pass on the meal and yes to the drink and the wine. I haven't been to Fakarava Atoll. An important day in history. It's cold again and cloudy, but supposed to warm up the next couple of days, into the upper 60's. It was in the lower 40's, now up to 50F. I'm sitting here waiting for the plumber, who was supposed to be here at 9AM (they came at 9:45). The house is cold, about 62F. I think I'm no longer going to hold out on turning on the heat; I think this is the latest date I've gone. I heard from pain management, and I need to be there at 8:20AM tomorrow for the epidural. BFF will take me. The usual pains and numbness when I woke up today. The steroid injection won't kick in right away, but I'm hoping it helps. I have PT later, then dinner out with friends. I need to eat something plain, since the last 2 times I ate out I had bad stomach issues after. @NextOne Prayers for a successful surgery today, and smooth recovery. @aliaschief It's 7 days until you board, but a 14 day cruise 😉. @ottahand7 I hope the oven can be repaired. Lovely Calla Lily. @Vict0riann Sorry you have a cold; feel better. @dfish I'm waiting to hear when curb leaves pickup starts. Last year it wasn't until near Halloween. I'm sure you'll feel better soon. I got the RSV on the 7th, and just scheduled for Covid and flu vaccines on the 27th. I figure getting it on a Friday gives me time to recover before any appointments. @ger_77 I can hear the excitement in your post about visits to the grandkids. @smitty34877 Continued prayers for you and the family. @RMLincoln I also pray that you both remain healthy. @Haljo1935 I hope you can get the Intl DLs. Sorry PT and Chiro didn't help. I agree that 5 weeks of numbness is too long. It may be a pinched nerve, like I have. I would get it looked at, if you can before you go, but there's not much time. @sailingdutchy Safe travels! @mamaofami I hope Sam is making progress. @HAL Sailer Prayers that your DH is continuing to do well. @Cruzin Terri I hope things are going better for you. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Thanks, Lenda. The recipe is from Skinnytaste.com. Gina, the creator of the site, has lots of good tasting and healthy recipes. She now has several cookbooks as well. This recipe is one of her oldest and most popular. Here is the link: https://www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-chicken-taco-chili-4-pts/

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I used to love dictionaries, but look up words online nowadays; however my dictionary is still in the bookcase right next to me. Over the years I've decreased the number of credit cards I have; and always pay the balance monthly. I know many on the Daily will celebrate Global Cat day! Interesting quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink, and yes to the wine. I've been to NZ, but not Kaikoura. 2 important days in history. It's another cool and cloudy day here. Only in the 50's. Sadly I had another interrupted sleep, and my leg was tingly and numb this morning. It's somewhat better now. I'm still trying to get some things organized around the house. I'm going to make my favorite Chicken Taco Chili in the slow cooker so that there's something to just heat up for the next few days. The plumber comes tomorrow to check the boiler, and a commode that runs despite my attempts to fix it. Then PT and out to dinner. I don't know yet what time my procedure will be on Wednesday. I just noticed I didn't update the countdown for those about to cruise - oy! @StLouisCruisers Very cute photos of Sadie and Milo posted yesterday. And wow on DD and DSIL installing new windows themselves! So sorry about the continued delays for DS's flights home. @RMLincoln I'm glad you made it home safely and that the trip went well. Lots to do coming up, and I'm glad you'll have some help from the grandkids. @Haljo1935 Good luck tomorrow with PT and the Chiro. @smitty34877 Prayers that the ups and downs modulate out to a smoother course. @CrabbyPatti Prayers for your DFIL that his health improves soon and he can be released from the hospital. Beautiful sunrise. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. 3 good days. True quote. I'll pass on the meal and drink, and take the wine. I haven't been to Iles du Salut. There are off and on showers, a little brighter skies, but chilly with a high of 54F later. Sleep was fair, waking up around 4AM with pain, then again near 7. I'm trying to do some straightening in the "music room", which is my hangout with the PC and TV. I don't know if I'll need to stay downstairs after my procedure on Wednesday, so I may end up sleeping in the recliner or on the sofa. Going upstairs is a struggle every evening, and I don't want to do anything that might lead to a spinal fluid leak. @grapau27 Welcome home. @StLouisCruisers Nice photos. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for your photos. @dfish I envy all your quilting. My quilt is a sampler quilt, with each block being different. It's all pieced together, just needing each square quilted. I think about half are done, by hand. I'm tempted to try to find someone to finish it or I fear it will never be completed. @smitty34877 I'm glad you're getting a break on meal preparation today. @Nickelpenny That pesky L4-L5! I think it's L4 where I have a bulging disk and nerve root stenosis. I hope your doctor has some suggestions. I don't like daily NSAIDs either; they help my back but do nothing for the nerve issues. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

There's a Prevnar 20, not 23. I had the Prevnar 13 back in 2019, and the Prevnar 20 this year. And going further back I had the Pneumovax 23, which is a different type of pneumonia vaccine.

Yay, another Charla cruise and review! And Happy Birthday to Jeremy.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Didn't we just have bald day? I like dessert and like eggs for their protein. My DM didn't like eggs, but made them for me so I wouldn't be prejudiced by her dislike of them. The quote is true for some men. I like the meal, pass on the drink and the wine. I have not been to Victoria BC. 2 important days in history. We had rain overnight, and today is cloudy and rainy all day, with temps in the upper 50's. I'm glad I got the lawn mowed yesterday. Probably lots of leaves will come down with the rain. I watched the annular solar eclipse on NASA's YouTube channel earlier. We would see only a little bite out of the sun here, but we're socked in with clouds. I will do indoor tidying up, as my back allows. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the great Victoria photos. @rafinmd Welcome home. I'm glad you were able to take your cruises. @Quartzsite Cruiser Lovely photos. I too disagree with the pharmacist saying RSV is only a baby's disease. @ottahand7 I hope the oven continues to function normally. @dfish I'm glad you got the referrals. Thanks for the recipes. Your DM's meatloaf recipe sounds like my mother's. @ger_77 Sorry to hear of the torn rotator cuff. I had a torn glenoid labrum, which people who fall on an outstretched arm and baseball pitchers get (I was the former, lol). I had surgery many years ago, and I'm always asked if it was a rotator cuff repair. @kplady @GTVCRUISER Thank you for sharing your nice photos. @dobiemom I'm glad you got to see the eclipse. @Cruising-along Beautiful fall colors. @sailingdutchy Great photos. @cunnorl Wow that was some experience with DD's wheelchair! @cruzn single I hope you're feeling ok. @mamaofami Prayers for DH Sam. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those with something to Celebrate. A composite photo from my trip to Nashville in 2017 to see my first solar eclipse.

Oh, I'm sore! So much bending. I did mow the grass, which allowed me to see that my neighbor's tree company wasn't good at cleanup. I knew they had come into my yard, from my outdoor Blink camera. But I had to pick up many twigs in the back part of the yard, from the maple that they trimmed. And they removed a dying evergreen in the front, leaving my yard with many small branch pieces and lots of small pine cones. I'll have to rake those up another day. I wasn't happy. Thanks. I already have your trips on my list, compiled from Jacqui's Future Cruise Listing. Happy Birthday to your son! Thanks for the update on Barb.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. A little skepticism is good, I think. I have no silly sayings. I will salute world sight day, especially given my own eye issue, which can threaten sight. I like the quote. Pass on the meal (fish) and drink, and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Corfu Island. All good days in history. It's 67 and sunny, but rain (heavy) overnight and all the way through Monday. Yesterday I slept 2 hours in my recliner due to the Benadryl I took for my injection. That didn't stop me from sleeping last night, although I awoke at 6:30 with pain (just in time to post the Care List!). I did fall back asleep for a bit. Then I had PT. I really need to mow the lawn, due to the upcoming rain, but I don't feel like it. @StLouisCruisers Great photos as always. Happy Anniversary to DD and DSIL. @mamaofami I'm so sorry to hear that Sam is back in the hospital. And that alarm going off to disturb your sleep was not what you needed. @cat shepard Today my arm is finally not sore from the RSV shot last Saturday; it seems to hang on. Now I just have to schedule the other two. @rafinmd Another great sunrise. Safe trip home today. @Heartgrove Very nice photos from Corfu. @Mr. Boston Thanks for the Corfu photos. @Cruzin Terri That looks like a nice tour you had. @kochleffel Interesting photos. @smitty34877 I'm glad the aide and Tana are doing well together. I do hope you can get some relaxation time in for yourself. @Quartzsite Cruiser Wonderful photos from Corfu. @ger_77 I hope the tests give some answers. @Overhead Fred Beautiful scenery there. @Sharon in AZ Nice photos from the palaces and grounds. @ottahand7 It would be great if that works for the oven. @Cruising-along It certainly was a good thing DH went to the walk-in clinic. I hope he's feeling better soon. Excellent photos from Corfu. @sailingdutchy Thanks for sharing your photos. @bennybear Interesting photos. Thanks. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.
