Thinking about ya! Coming home from awesome vacation to Dino’s!

At least you’re experienced, know what to do, and are known for patience.

Focus this week on how that Hawaii air felt, the palm trees swaying, family laughing and getting sun-kissed skin. Such a special place to rejuvenate and I hope you really did.

Looking forward to pics underwater- even blurry! We don’t need Tim perfection to enjoy!
 
Thank you Jenn that's extremely sweet and kind and it's all I need!
Like I mentioned last night the support we all give each other is amazing and truly rare in our world today.
If the world had more people in it like y'all I think it would be a totally different place!
Reef on and keep cooking y'all.
And @kevgib67 you just keep taking as many pics as possible. :smiling-face:
Thanks Joel but any pictures I take will just look like the previous ones I posted. That could be changing soon, I just got a huge donation to my reef upgrade GoFundme account. Imagine my surprise when I woke this morning and saw that my balance broke the $3 mark!
 
Free birdnest frag for anyone who donates a nickel or more to my GoFundme account, pick up only. If you pick up on meatball Monday you’ll get two meatballs. Please specify ahead of time on Swedish or Italian.
 
Go get them Amanda, glad you are feeling better.

I know my time zone guesstimate may be off, but is your work day done or close to being done?

Hopefully they continued to value you and didn’t just stack on the missed work (if they do that kind of thing).

Either way, sure you’re mentally and physically exhausted. Ignore house, chores, everything! Just sit with the fur babies, in ur cozy chair and let hubby be in charge for the evening.

Your only decision is: hmmm,, what kind of lunch can he make me for work tomorrow (that my tummy will allow).

And what you wanna with on TV tonight!

Don’t even look or stress about issues with tanks right now. Everything willl still be there in the morning. I’m starting to discover and accept this for myself with my tanks being so far away. It was one of those Oprah, Ah-Hah moments!
 
Walker - how’d your puppy house world do this weekend?

Shenanigans galore?
It's going good! They already know how to sit!

It is currently 5:30 pm here. I work 10:00 am to 7:00 pm if I get out in time and then there is silence from me on R2R for over an hour due to my commute home. I become a little more chill on the cleanliness of my glass, sometimes I’ll just let it slide till the next day. I hope you rocked out OT and PT today.

I want to try them lol, This now takes away the excuse that Kevin had to travel to Miami lol
Noooooooooo! This will hold me over but I still want an authentic Cuban sandwich. It’s on my bucket list that I created earlier this year when my doctor told me my condition was terminal and only gave me 30-35 years to live.

Work was busy but good. Everyone said they missed me so that made me feel good my boss did my job reach day except Friday because she's off on Friday's so I was not too far behind. I got all of Fridays work and most of today's done. I made some baked salmon for lunch and cantaloupe and watermelon and it didn't bother my stomach so I will probably do the same thing for lunch tomorrow. For supper I had scrambled eggs with tortillas and so far my stomach/intestines are good.
 
Excited about tomorrow as it's coral/rfa arrival day both from the last two auctions I have joined in on and from the place I ordered the two bubble corals from!
Team Corals.com, 25 minutes from my house!

Camera wouldn't take any pictures - blurry or otherwise.
