That was yesterday and now is today...

 


...An understatement, by the way...! No need to mask-up is the newest controversial topic on everybody's minds.

Everyone has an opinion and emotional reaction.

It as most things these days goes according to political lines, have you noticed?

It appears my somewhat liberal cohorts believe they will wear their masks to be sure, and that too many liars and non-vaxers will be saying they have when they haven't.

And the conservatives are all for it, whether or not they have had the vaccine, they will go with the new approval of not having to wear one... and so my similar-minded friends are correct to be concerned.

Of course, you can wear your mask, as Hubby and I have decided to do...

Hopefully, foolish non-mask wearers will not shame us into doing what they are doing.

Although, we will be unperturbed and do what we believe and continue to do by wearing our masks in public!

CDC seems to have sent caution to the wind with their new ruling of no masks needed, and yet cases rise, and deaths also...!

Could this be politics as usual?

With Memorial weekend around the corner and the stock market taking hits this past week???

Tell me it ain't so, please! Not in the Biden administration???

Moving on...

An old junior high friend confessed to me she stole a jade plant succulent petal from her doctor's office a few weeks ago with thoughts of propagating it... and it is doing well.

So I showed her my two that are truly very old from NJ, where she still lives... Ours is over thirty-five years old since we live in Florida that long, and almost all plants from up north I planted outside at our first house on the other coast. When we moved these last two times, they had grown too big to take with us except for the jade plants and a few others.

Now,



remember if you take them out of their pots they will grow so much bigger but we did not!

So little are and they have survived! The sideways picture was to show the length they can grow.

Moving on again...

As far as my full exposure yesterday of my latest MRIs https://tobi-adayinthelife.blogspot.com/2021/05/my-mris-diagnosis-above-and-below.html?spref=bl, I expect to hear back from my internist's office on what they determined from those films...!


And so, we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.
Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!
Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made. I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site, that day, what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,...some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but...as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one! 
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
                            3 months................................................3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. 
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           
Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties...We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in from my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!


Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, it could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
