Hey Bloggers. It's been a hot minute. Guess what? Lots of good things going on and some I'll have to share later. For now, I'm popping in from Barnes to say HOWDY! I also started bringing the tablet to work during lunch and it's been nice to read blogs there.
In other news, I just bought new bluelight readers using Barnes Rewards which paid for a third of the price and these are crazy comfortable. So comfortable that I broke out the tablet to give them a go.
Hot dog.
In other, other news sooooo much writing food and baking going on in the kitchen. I even set up the C-stand to shoot videos in the kitchen, which is something I really, really didn't think I wanted to get back into. Turns out I was wrong. So I've been editing food videos before work and filming recipes after work. Really going well and when I edit/write before work, I often have a much, much better day at the job. Which by the way, I still have.
Double hot dog.
Did I mention how comfy these glasses are? Good golly they're nice. I never used bluelight glasses before. Already my eyes feel refreshed and less tired. I'd say that calls for a triple hot dog.
Lastly, the lung issues are well-past gone though I still don't have full-smells back. Some things I smell and others, just don't compute. Taste, I never lost. Funny thing, before all of this, I believed smell and taste were forever married to each other. Nopers.
Lastly, lastly, bring on Halloween and autumn. Leaves here already turning, walnuts hitting the ground and I freakin' LOVE it. Monster of Frankenstein cartoon up top, little Sally below and more spooky fun to come.
That's all for now my wonderful Boogerbutts.
Chat again soon.
Huggs and Halloween Bugs, Me.

You certainly sound cheerful! This was good to read. And you sound well again, at last. Busy, too.
ReplyDeleteHey Boud! Was at Barnes only the BEST PLACE on EARTH and a day off from work. Was a goooooooood, goooooooood day. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers and boogie boogie.
DeleteYes fall is in the air Ivy snd lots of good things for you! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHey Christine! I love that you got fresh garlic! Yum, yum, yum.
DeleteGlad to hear you're feeling so much better now, Ivy! And that your job is still ongoing, that's great. Sounds like you're enjoying life a lot more and getting back to baking, videoing, etc. I didn't know what bluelight glasses are, so had to check the interwebs. Cool! Hope they clear up eyestrain and other vision issues!
ReplyDeleteHiya Debra! Thanks bunches. Good to be back online again. Oh my gosh on the bluelight glasses. My first pair. Ever since my job, where I'm on the computer all day, my eyes really took the brunt of it. These are sooooo nice.
DeleteLittle Sally is so cute! Good to hear you are feeling better, don't forget to rest a couple of times a day.
ReplyDeleteHey River! Thanks for the reminder about rest. The nice thing is, I find editing video relaxing. like a little fun thing to do before I head to work. Thanks about Sally. I have a few different ones to share.
DeleteI am thrilled that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI just read that Batty was back home and that you're ringing the vet today. Hope you get a hold of them. Sending huggs to you.
DeleteGlad you checked in! It sounds like things are going well. Take care!
ReplyDeleteNot too shabby here. Looks like your latest post things are going well there too. Love that pup. So cute! Headed to work in a few. Three more days and it's the WEEKEND! Woohoo.
DeleteWelcome back! Glad you are feeling better and still have a job! :) The blue light glasses sound wonderful. I should try them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Good to be reading and writing blogs again. I love, love, love these glasses. I never used them before so I don't know much about them or the different grades. So far, loving it. Curious what you think about them too. My eyes feel better reading computer screens. Which is what I do all day at work. And that's when I noticed my eyes getting worse and worse and worse.
DeleteSo happy to see a post from you and that you're feeling a lot better. It sounds like you've been having fun. I have the same on my glasses and am amazed at how much better my eyes feel. No more tired eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori. Yes, same. I'm amazed at the difference in my eyes when using the blue light glasses. I had no idea. My day job has me in front of the computer all day and saw my eyes getting worse and worse. So happy to try these. Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteTerrific hot dogging! I'm so glad you are feeling better. And cooking like a crazy woman!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie! Nice to be feeling better. Happy Thursday!
DeleteGlad your glasses are helping your eyes rest! Take care of those eyes sweetheart! SO important to eat well things that benefit the eyes. You don't want to have eye surgery in your sixties.
ReplyDeletehugs

Hellooo, Donna! Oh my gosh, you're so right. I started having issues when I started working at the job and on the computer all day. These blue lights are goood. Huggs, back. PS: True about foods!
DeleteYou are veryy busy just now! Now I hate to tell you this, but I don't like hot dogs! Glad the glasses are helping you. I have new ones, too, wonderful! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHey Valerie! How are your new glasses working? Huggs, Me.
DeleteBusy, busy. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYeah feels good. Changed our food budget too. Here's to saving at the market. Love all your thoughts on the subject of saving.
DeleteYou are sounding so chipper! Glad you’re feeling better but don’t overdo.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby! I sure was. We were at Barnes. The best place evhar!
DeleteYou sound happy. Quadruple hot dog!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Was at Barnes. Very happy place. Sorry to read about your horse. Heartbreaking. Huggs.
DeleteYou sound excited about life! Sorry your full sense of smell hasn't returned though.
ReplyDeleteI tellya, it was a good day at Barnes for sure. Thanks about the full smells. So weird.
DeleteHot dog with mustard and relish for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy! Happy Belated Blogger Day.
DeleteHello! I am so happy to see you back here, and am so glad you are feeling better. I am so with you on fall and Halloween! Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteHello fall and Halloween. Do you have a HomeGoods/HomeSense near you? Fun Halloween goodies at some of the stores. Our location so far doesn't have much. A friend of mine though, her store is PACKED with goodies. I'm so jelly.
DeleteWell hot dog, that's all good news. And I can't help myself but I enjoyed getting to ketchup with you and I relish the thought of all that happiness.
ReplyDeleteHey Ann! Loving all artwork you're doing. Great to catch up. Happy Drawing.
DeleteHey, nice to see you back! I'm glad your health is back and you still have your job. Hot dogs all around!
ReplyDeleteBlue light blockers, hmmm.
Thanks, Abby. At lunch now using the glasses and I just love them. My eyes are way less tired. Actually, today, the eyes are not tired at all. Happy Almost Weekend and Happy Belated Wedding day to you and hubby. Whoosh, Tim goes quick.
DeleteI have never really done much the videos, but food videos sound like fun. I hope you might make one about your banana bread and share it here on your blog. I'm interested in that. Have a super start to the new week.
ReplyDeleteHi Erika! Were you interested in the oven banana bread or the Instant Pot one?
DeleteI'm glad you are finally feeling better. That was scary. I've thought about those glasses but never got them. I think I should get a pair.. I'd love to see your videos!! Have a great week and hot dog!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judee. Thankfully all is well on this end. Added some new foods to the diet and when I did that, it helped the lungs the most. Thank you for the intrest in the videos! I'll keep you guys posted. Have a groovy and yummy weekend!
Deleteso glad to see you pop up. And really happy to hear you are feeling better and i can tell by your perky post you are much better and back to having fun... I am on day 8 of vertigo, might have to give in and to to doc. In the past it only lasted 1 to 3 days. I had a neurophysiology test today for dementia. 90 minutes OW. will get results in 2 weeks. I love your drawings so very much.
ReplyDeleteVertigo is not fun. Been there. Have you tried that lay on the back, arch the back and breathe in trick? I do that and it helps. Two weeks for the test, wow, wow. I'm hoping it's just stress-related and something fixable. Sending you all the good wishes. Huggs, Me.
DeleteOh Yay!! I'm so happy to see an update from you! I'm really happy to hear you are feeling better. I love blue light glasses! I've been wearing them for years. I still I have the same pair I bought from Felix Gray. You are going to love yours! Okay, I'm really interested in hearing more about your food writing and baking/cooking videos! I hope you share them here on the blog soon. Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool that you've been using them for years. I'd heard of them though never tried. And then I got a job outside of home that is mostly on the computer and that's when I noticed my eyes getting wonky. These help sooooo much.
DeleteThank you for the interest in my food writing/videos. Will keep you guys posted for sure. I'll share them here for sure.
Very cute Halloween decorations and it will be fun to go around the neighborhood to see them in people’s front gardens. That's a favorite with me. I am also looking forward to the Autumn, hot chocolate weather for me :) Good to know you are happy with your bluelight readers, especially when you got such a good deal, and they work great too sounds like. I have them and they really help my eyes. I would love to see your food writing/baking/cooking videos, that sounds like a lot of fun. Good to know you are also feeling better. Everything else will fall into place soon I’m sure. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove me some hot chocolate. Have you ever made it spicy? Pretty tasty combo. Did you ever add pumpkin spices to hot chocolate? Oh my yum. So good!
DeleteThank you for the interest in my food writing/video. I will post stuff about it here for sure.
What a perky and fun blog today. So happy you are feeling better. I thought smell and taste were married too...
ReplyDeleteLove your video set up with the soft boxes and different lighting. I need something like that for my eBay selling items but I just don't have the cash to do it right.
Thanks for commenting on my blog and becoming a new "friend"
Sue
Thank you! I was at Barnes when I wrote it and that's one of our Happy Places! Me too. I really thought smell and taste were married. No idea until I went through it myself.
DeleteWhat's the size of the items your're selling? I am a budget photographer in that I don't spend gobs of money (at least not right now), on stuff. If you sell smallish things, I have an idea for that that shouldn't cost gobs of money.
I have wondered what was happening...so glad you still have a job and are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHey Rose! Thanks for stopping in. Yes, I got sick and then I just got back into food writing and sorta fell off the Internet for a bit. Thanks!
DeleteFun post Ivy! I think I would like bluelights. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you! OMG. I can't believe how much the blue lights help. Huggs, back.
DeleteLove your Halloween girl - can't wait to get started with the pumpkins and scary things. Great post - brightened my day - what are bluelights?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet (UK)
Thanks. Really is fun. Why wait? We have ours up and I love it! The glasses are to help when on devices like computers, phones and tablets. I never had a pair before now. Really love them.
DeleteYou sound tickety-boo, Ivy, which is wonderful! I'm assuming you were at Barnes & Noble. That's one of my happy places, and I just returned from a happy 1 1/2 hours having coffee and looking at books and magazines. Do those things you love!
ReplyDeletePeppers. We love Barnes! Nice that you have on too. Most excellent. I agree - do the things that we love!
DeleteGlad to hear you're feeling better, I hope smells return to full function soon. A friend of mine can't taste or smell, it jyst happened years ago. We are still enjoying lovely weather here in the UK. I'd never hears of bluelight glasses until now!
ReplyDeleteHi Polly! I'm sorry to read that she can't smell or taste. Has she tried clove? Or burnt orange? Or even plain orange skins? Those helped me. Using the bluelights now. Really love them.
DeleteOh dear, a few spelling mistakes there - I'm tired! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've done that many times!
DeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better and also those glasses sound really good. I like the idea of your food videos. They would be great to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This weekend we got the old photography/filming area back. That's gonna help. OMG on the glasses. So good. Wish I'd bought them sooner. Second pair on the way.
