September 15, 20223 yr Author Having a cuppa in the car for some peace n quiet. I hate shopping. I really hate cloths shopping with my teenage daughter. Argh...and the shop chick who just had to say "your doing so well mum" while I was counting to ten and contemplating the merits of punching said daughter in the face.
September 28, 20223 yr Keeping a close eye on the weather reports. Hurricane Ian is bad action. Just saw some video showing Fort Myers, Florida getting hammered. Damn shame...Fort Myers is one of the most underrated cities in America. Godspeed to all in the path of this storm.
September 28, 20223 yr @Boo I have a cousin in Key West. They were okay last I heard from her. They were just waiting to get an all clear after the expected storm surge subsided. This storm is turning out to be a monster.
September 28, 20223 yr Was a bad one for sure ☹️ Incredibly high winds, huge volume of rain and a very significant storm surge would not be a good thing for Sanibel Island which is right on the ocean where the storm came ashore and the island doesn't appear to be much higher than normal sea level. I hope everyone there evacuated. Cape Coral & Fort Myers very close to Sanibel too 😧 Prayers for all affected 🙏 Power was out for the entire island of Cuba 3.000.000 people affected I believe. Cuba is a huge tourist destination for Canadians every winter and that season is about to start in another month or two. I would expect there will be many resorts heavily damaged after this storm so that will have a big impact going forward as well.
September 29, 20223 yr I have been watching the storm too. I have good friends in Ft Myers. Prayers to all the people in Florida.
September 30, 20223 yr i'm a little late for this storm but go subscribe to Ryan Hall Y'all on youtube. some of the best adverse weather coverage out there. He's a thousand times better than any of the national news coverage and he donates the profits from his merch sales to victims of storms like this with food, water, supplies and even cash.
October 8, 20223 yr I returned last week from 6 weeks in Dallas to assist my daughter with the 3 toddlers, while she dealt with the new baby’s long stay in CICU, after his open heart surgery. Gabriel came out of it as well as could be expected. He will require another surgery in several months. But, for now, he is home! Erica has to supplement bottle feeds (she pumps her breast milk) with NG tube feeds. He also requires meds through the tube, and several shots of a blood thinner daily. Thankfully, Erica is a trained Paramedic, making it a bit easier. Dad Steven helps when he gets home from work. What a handsome little guy he is!😊❤️ Kat Edited October 8, 20223 yr by Katgirl
October 8, 20223 yr Oh that poor baby, such a lot to go through at such a young age. At least he won't remember any of it when he gets older. Thank you for the update @Katgirl
October 8, 20223 yr Sounds like a major ordeal, what a blessing that you could be with them to help. Wishing rest and healing for you, Gabriel and your daughter. ♥️ 👶
October 8, 20223 yr Thanks @jillar and @DenaliBlues for the encouragement. Gabriel is a miracle baby. We expect him to have a normal life after he gets through one more surgery. We feel truly blessed to have had him operated on by one of the best pediatric heart surgeons in the world. God is looking out for our little guy. He is 8 weeks old and weighs 8 lbs 7 oz., so doing great. He started out at 5 lbs 11 oz. 😊♥️ Edited October 8, 20223 yr by Katgirl

October 10, 20223 yr I’m thankful that everything is going well for Gabriel @Katgirl. He sure is a handsome little guy! 🤗
October 13, 20223 yr Thanks @Doreensfree and @Gus for the encouragement. Please, keep Gabriel in your thoughts and prayers. He still has some hurdles to clear… ❤️❤️ Kat
October 17, 20223 yr Author Send prayers to Kat's little battler. Speedy healing vibes to the little fella and best wishes to you all. Me...I'm wondering if this convo counts as a mummy pass or a mummy fail.... (Background, the kid us studying biology and they have been doing experiments involving growing plants) The Kid (16)... Mum I grew the best geraniums, my root systems were awesome. I also had the best succulents. I so should grow pot. Even my grass was the best and I was trying to kill that.

October 21, 20223 yr Sitting alone with my thoughts. I read a couple of articles about the future of the petrodollar last night. Now, nobody wants to talk to me.
