Good news, I heard from irisblue yesterday and she is slowly feeling better. She asked if I could continue doing her breakfast thread until middle of May. We're all supportive of you iris and trust me things will improve.
I think I worked myself a little too hard yesterday. I'm a little sore and didn't get much sleep. Sitting here in my recliner this morning and I hear this loud noise in our attached garage. I discovered one of the large springs on the garage door broke. So later this morning I have to drive to the hardware store and buy a new spring. Not looking forward to working on that door.
So far this morning I'm still on my first cup of coffee ☕ and have taken two Equate 8 hour arthritis pain relief aspirins. Later sausage and cheese omelette.

Coffee with cream, now. Strawberries and biscuits, later.
Good morning 🤗

(39,867 posts)My brother went through that and learned it is not possible to do this repair by yourself. Also, it is very dangerous. So please play it safe and start thinking of someone who you can get to help you.
I think it has to do with aligning the springs on both sides at the same time.
Not talking about Loretta as your helper, lol. Iirc, my brother had to get a tuff guy.
Happy to hear IrisBlue is on the mend. 😊
I found a copycat recipe for Panera strawberry salad. It calls for blueberries, strawberries, mandarins, pecans, romaine, and poppyseed dressing.
I dont have the poppyseed dressing, however, I am going to substitute vinaigrette made with orange juice.
Banana nut muffin to go with it, toasted.
Lemon ginger, tea, hot.
