ChiaChatterMay 12 @ 09:59 I slept in a little while today, and am going to try to go downstairs for a cup of coffee. Pete said he'd bring me one but I really want to get up and around today as much as I can, not walking well yet but we'll see... I'm planning to spend the day outside with Maisie, but for now I really want to spend time with my #Tyros5 so we'll see how that goes. My #EW410 is set up in the tent now too, I just need to find and connect the power supply and pedal to it. I'm having fun setting up a second living space out there for the summer so want to get busy on that again today if I'm able. Meanwhile I've been sitting on the bed moderating for a couple of hours, also got Maisie's nails clipped but not filed yet. And that's what's going on so far. Will be putting up a Family Follies post today for Friday's Funnies, so I'll get going with that too...and those are my plans so far! I will see you later...oh, and HAPPY FRIDAY❣️
May 11 @ 08:10 Woke up about an hour ago, just came downstairs to listen to Pete's morning net with him. Sunshine is out already, I've started gathering my stuff to go out and do laundry, if I get it piled up in the wagon afterward, E will hang it on the line for me; it should dry well today with it being so warm and sunny; the humidity is 100% right now but that is typical for mornings and it will dry up, it's only 45°F so I'm just drinking my coffee while I listen to Pete talk with his hamsters. I'll be cleaning my cages and getting on with my day shortly though, probably start with some quality keyboard time on my #Tyros5 and then head outside to the washing machine. Probably won't get to Spanky Marie's story until after our helpers leave, I plan to be outside as much as I can. So that's my plans for the day and I will see you later, hope your day is wonderful, friends❣️
Mar 27 @ 22:20 It was a beautiful sunny day out today, wasn't able to get out but enjoyed it through the windows! Worked a lot today on moderating and my site, and spent quite a bit of time on the keyboard #Tyros5 also! In addition to the usual stuff. Pete worked outside quite a bit, in the spring/summer/fall he usually spends most of his time outside, after winter there is always a lot to do, too! So I guess that's about it, didn't go anywhere or do anything out of the ordinary, so not a lot about which to write but it was a really good day!!! I hope yours was as well❣️

Feb 1 @ 19:19 (WOW! I didn't plan that either!) That was the year that my college was "born" too...anyway, I'm done and done in! BUT I got a lot done, did all the dishes, washed my hair (because we have to conserve water I wash my hair with the rinse water from the dishes so those 2 things often happen together!), worked on the Yamaha Registration Manager because I NEED to be able to use it to convert the registrations - hundreds of them - from my former keyboards to use on the #Tyros5 but...well, that would be a post in itself. Let's just say I'll never get those 2 hours back... And I got to play my keyboard, for an hour or so...was busy all afternoon (Pete's been doing errands and laundry in town) and thought I'd clean the cages real quick before sitting down but I barely got started and my spine said "ENOUGH ALREADY!" and now I'm down for the count. BUT good news, got a call from the cardiologist and they had an appointment open up tomorrow at 3ish so I don't have to wait until the 16th now - woohoo!!! Definitely a God thing! Helpers are coming early, so I'll be able to get there on time, it's all good! It will be a busy day, I won't be online much but that makes up for the days I can't do much else but sit and be online hahaha! Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, sooner or later, have a great day❣️

Today's Daily Photo "Mom, Maisie's in my crate again!" Granted, Chuy's crate is way oversized for a 12# dog...but definitely UNDERsized for an 80# dog! Yet Maisie crams herself in there for naps whenever she has a chance...we have no idea how she even turns around in there! Chuy doesn't use the crate of his own accord, but he apparently doesn't want his sister to use it either. #dogs #RescueDogs #DogsOfPixelfed #DogsOfMastodon
Jan 29 @ 13:46 (UGH - just one minute earlier would have been good...) I didn't sleep well last night - just because I still had my Dell running to try and sync that same 19GB, it finally finished this afternoon - so I sense a nap will be in my future! But while I was sleeping we got a lot more SNOW!!! Pete said we have about 6" out there! It is beautiful!! And our turkey and deer friends spent a while here, though I was still on the bed, once I woke up I sat for a couple of hours with Maisie on my legs, and did some moderating, looked over my 2 favorite social networks, and a few other things on my tablet. Then I got up and ate my experimental "breakfast" (at 13;30!) and now, here I am. Today I will do the usual things but later. Right now I have a bunch of new voices on my #Tyros5 to play with!! AND continue on my learning curve before I forget everything I figured out yesterday. AND practice so I can get a recording done - finally! - for Monday Music! AND Sunday is pizza day so I'll be making my grain-free/lowcarb crust which takes some time, in addition to the usual daily stuff...wow, I just typing this I'm ready for my nap now! I hope you guys have a beautiful Sunday in the Lord and I will see you later❣️
Jan 28 @ 22:47 Well I already wrote this up once and it got erased doggone it! Starting over: I didn't get my pages updated today, I have plenty to add BUT instead I was playing my #Tyros5 and working on files for that. I had downloaded thousands - THOUSANDS - of voices from a site where I got a lifetime membership probably 12+ years ago. Today I organized them (though they were already in categories, which saved me a LOT of time and installed them and played with them for quite a while. Also figured out some of the things I've trying to learn (this part feels like it's neverending!)...and did a few things around here I haven't been able to manage the last few days...plus my usual daily work on my site, and moderating (though not as much as usual). It was a busy and great day! I hope you're having a great weekend so far too❣️

These were taken through my window of the wild turkeys in our yard. People seem to think that they're just big brown birds but I think they are gorgeous! And these pictures don't even give a true picture of the vividness of the colors, or the glittery iridescence. They are spectacular! #wildlife #turkeys #Michigan #Creation
Jan 28 @ 12:13 It has been a good morning so far, in fact I took a lot of pictures and plan to put them up today, just pictures of how my day started out. First I just love my Petey so much, and though he wasn't having a good morning I was still just happy to be with him even while I was hurting for him. (Nothing tragic...don't worry, he's fine!) Then I was getting such a kick out of my critters...well, you'll see the pictures later. Big thing is I was able to get down the stairs this morning AND I'm walking around here a little bit, thank you Lord! Much improved over yesterday! Found a meme that I'm still laughing about (wonder if you will also find it as funny when it shows up on Tuesday Titters?) and laughter is one of life's best things! Looking forward to quality time with my #Tyros5 and HOPING for some recording time, even! Have a delicious day planned for my meals AND excited about starting an experiment in a few days after more research...AND I have some things to add to my pages (those links in the header are my pages, and are handled differently than the posts by my WordPress theme) which is always fun...it's just a great day so far and I'm looking forward to the rest of it! Hope your Saturday is just as nice to you❣️

We haven't found the tripod since we moved last month. So this is how I rigged up my camera to record music as I play my #Tyros5 - I "folded" my selfie stick in a cheap plastic plate holder from the dollar store and wrapped a rubber band around it, then set it up on my stand that holds my music books, attaching it to the frame with a heavy-duty wire wrap. It works quite well, actually!

Jan 23 @ 07:22 Not much going on today, just the usual stuff, cardiac rehab and laundromat at some point today. High supposed to be 33°F and cloudy. Maisie is playing with her chain. I was hot all night so didn't sleep well (not sure if it was me, or if the thermostat didn't get adjusted to the nighttime temp) so there's probably a nap in my future too! Listening to Pete's nets as he chats with his hamsters. Speaking of music, which I was not, I have the sound bar & subwoofer (which used to be connected to my #Tyros5) now set up on my sewing machine in front of the TV...and while I can't connect the TV to it, I am enjoying using its bluetooth capabilities to listen to music or podcasts or videos or sermons or anything else from my laptop or my phone or my tablet. So that's very cool, everything sounds so much better than from the little device speakers! Oh the sound that now fills our cozy little home! Enjoy your day, friends❣️
Jan 22 @ 11:27 I CRASHED yesterday! Never finished my day which is a strange feeling! So used to my night-time routines I guess. Anyway...
It is snowing!!! I will be sharing some photos, link will be shared tonight as usual. I usually only share one but will put up several snow pics for today.
Pete is out meeting Bill to do some stuff, so I have time for playing my AMAZING #Tyros5, time with birds, and whatever else I choose to do while watching the snow come down. It is a light snow, but lovely!
We have pizza on Sundays, I got a "real" (frozen) pizza this week and decided I will portion it out while it's still frozen, and only eat part, with something else (ground beef patties, most likely). More like a side dish. I'm just not up for making a low carb crust today, and will have more pizza in the freezer to use thus in the future. I don't want to eat a grain-based crust, this one has less grain because it incorporates cauliflower (though it boasts a "cauliflower crust" which is misleading!), and I will only be eating part of it, to minimize my intake. When I'm having a good day I will maybe make a bunch of grain-free/lowcarb crusts and freeze them...
Anyway time to get the show on the road, my keyboard is calling my name! See you later, taters❣️
