The Bear has bronchitis. This is not news, he gets it twice a year. This time he listened to me and contacted the doctor immediately, so he had meds the next morning and is on his way back to as normal as he’ll ever be.
However.
Sharing is caring. Or so they say. I will be heading to CVS later to pick up MY meds. Love is grand, isn’t it?
In other news, Maverick is rocking the tricks from the first week of training class. We start that class on the 18th, but I audited with my friend so I have all the lessons and we’re “pretraining.” (The instructors are aware of this. Because of Maverick’s anxiety issues, I have chosen this class to help build his confidence and we’ve discussed that having him know the routine when he gets to the class will help with that) Last night, after the wicked storm passed and Toto had landed in Oz and the Wicked Witch had been pulled from beneath the house, we worked on “spin and twirl” with an added filip of a bow. Then we did some “paws up” on a box, but we really need a sturdier box for that. We did “get in the box and sit” – he does that one with quite the “let’s get this over with” attitude. And we worked on “stand” because that’s one cue he doesn’t really know.
All of this was done during commercials – one of my favorite movies was on AMC – True Lies with Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger (however you spell that). I will never stop laughing at the gun rolling down the stairs or “You’re fired” or best of all, “THE BRIDGE IS OUT!” During this time, my BFF and I were texting each other the next best line. Yup, we’re that silly. (You should see it when Princess Bride is playing.)
I’m going to see the Barbie movie as soon as I stop feeling like I got hit by a truck. (Thanks, Bear) I wasn’t planning on this, but one of my friends saw it (I’m looking at you, Peachy) and another of our friends got a bit heated about how horrible it is, so I now feel that I need to make up my own mind about it. I frequently see people being accused of following the prevailing opinion about something – and I know I’m often guilty of that as well – so I’m making an effort to not do that so much. I was going today but, yeah, that truck knocked me out.
And in other news – I’ve been having some weird ass dreams lately and I think this house needs a major sweep with sage or something!

Hope you feel better soon! That bug is going around here too. ☹️
Can’t wait to hear a layman’s opinion of Barbie. To me it looked like silly fun, but some people are quite upset by it.
Ooh, now I want to go watch The Princess Bride again!

I can’t watch Barbie until it hits YouTube or somewhere. All that Pink at one time would make me barf.

Love True Lies! ❤️❤️❤️. Great lines.
I work training in when I have a few minutes. Until I get my arm working again, our sessions are a minute or nonexistent.
I’ll wait to see Barbie but do look forward to your review/opinion.
I might need some “sage” advice. 😵💫

“Is it an espresso machine?” I’ll ask my people for some training exercises you can do with a broken arm. I’m sure there are some!

You are not the only one experiencing weird ass dreams, but I do that routinely! Nothing of the nightmare realm, just people I knew (often past co-workers) in places they wouldn’t have been doing odd things. Last night’s dream ended with someone named Dave, who was one of the bartenders at the hotel I was staying at during a conference and good conversations with him, his co-workers making jokes at his expense because apparently he usually attracts psychos and I seemed quite sane, and he was wearing the exact same shirt my best friend’s hubby was wearing at his viewing and service on Tuesday (the shirt, viewing and service are actual facts). Oh, and Dave looked like someone I haven’t seen in years, Dwight, whom I always thought was very handsome! On Thursday night, I was dreaming of a spoonful of fresh fruit salad and woke myself up by actually trying to lift the spoon up to my mouth without dropping anything!
I’ve been blessed with not getting bronchitis for a while now, but when I DO get it, I get it good – requiring breathing treatments to loosen up my congested chest.
And… I’m glad Maverick is doing well with his training and hopeful that his pre-training will provide some benefit! Good luck!

Half of my dreams have taken place in my old home, involving dead relatives- I hope that’s not a sign! In one some blonde woman was trying to break in because I was endangering the kids – I don’t have kids. If I dreamt last night I don’t remember- I was exhausted, slept 10 hours and could get a nap now. I started meds last night – early stages of this- and I think it’s working even though I feel like fried poop on burnt toast.
Maverick’s training last night had us both in hysterics – that in itself is an improvement!
