NOT FEELING AS WELL AS I WANTED TODAY

 I thought I would be better today but I am not. The pain in my arm/side/neck/underarm is really unsustainable. I tried to work but the pain was hard to ignore. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow.

The dog walker screwed up his schedule and forgot to pick up Lucky so I had the adorable but highly dependent dog all day. I had to take her for a long walk mid day when it was clear the dog walker was not coming because Lucky was driving me crazy. She had not been on a walk since Friday and she was bouncing off the walls. I was not really up for a long walk but I knew a short walk was not going to cut it this time.

I am going to bed early to see if that helps me feel better tomorrow.

Until tomorrow...

FEELING ALMOST NORMAL

 Well, last night I fell asleep and forgot to hit submit on my post. It was in the drafts folder today. I was SO tired yesterday that I slept for easily 16 hours. I tried to watch a number of movies: Sing 2, Queen Bees, Cinderella and I fell asleep through both of them and had to rewatch them later in the day. 

This COVID shot was probably the easiest one of the five. I was horribly tired, had body temperature regulating issues but no fever, chills, all my joints were screaming, and my arm, lymph nodes and side are really sore. Also the side of my neck is really sore which I assume is lymph nodes in my neck. 

Today I feel almost normal except for really tired still (I feel asleep watching TV) and a bit foggy. My arm and side are still really sore. My joints have settled down a bit after a long hot bath. I ate some real food and I took the dog for a short walk. Between each task I took a rest. I watched a 6 hour TV special on a British TV channel that was really good. 

That was my whole day. Very unproductive except for healing. 

Until tomorrow...

ASLEEP

 I fell asleep and can't post anything today.

Until tomorrow...

FIFTH COVID VACCINE

Today was the day I got my 5th COVID vaccine. Yes, my fifth. It is not widely advertised but if you are in a risk category such as immunocompromised, you can get another vaccine after 4 months after your last one. I decide that my four month mark was today, this was a perfect opportunity since I had a holiday weekend to recuperate. 

How was it you ask? First, the guy administering the shot looked at me and said haven't I given you a shot before? I'm starting to be a regular at my local COVID vaccine place. Then he gave me the shot and had me sit there for 15 minutes. Once again I drove most of the way to the location which is only a 10 minute walk. If you are a regular reader you will remember during shot number three I walked home uphill and it was not good to do that much exertion after a COVID vaccine. So this time and last time I drove most of the way and parked. 

When I got home I had a work emergency (despite me telling everyone that I was getting this vaccine) and then I got into bed. I had some TV and movies lined up to watch. I fell asleep at some point. 

My arm hurts a lot, my body temp does seem to regulate, and I am having abdomen pain but I don't think that is vaccine related. Let's see what tomorrow brings. So far not too bad. 

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN LEMON WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK SUGAR COOKIES

 Tomorrow is my 5th COVID vaccine. I spent a bit of time today getting ready. My vaccine isn't until mid day so I have time in the morning to do some preparations also. I ran the dishwasher, washed the dishes, changed my sheets, received my food shopping, finished up some work, sent out an email letting people know I am getting my vaccine and may be out of service and baked some cookies.

Yes, I baked some cookies. I wanted some cookies to feel better after getting a vaccine that may make me feel horrible. I also have movies lined up to watch. I made vegan lemon white chocolate chunk sugar cookies. They taste so amazing. Tart and sweet. They are a bit crunchy and caramelized on the bottom. 

I took Lucky for a little walk at the end of the day.

Until tomorrow...

GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE DOG THAT FELL

 Good news about the doggie. The doggie has no broken bones and only bruises. It is a bit of a miracle that after falling almost two floors the doggie is only limping. 

The neighbor thanked me this morning for jumping the fence and keeping the doggie calm while the doggie was in panic mode. That was really nice. 

Today was another project that I couldn't wait to finish. All these projects coming at once because people want to go out on leave and the want to get this work done before they leave. I wasn't really ready to work on all these projects simultaneously. 

Then to add to the chaos, my email server company decided to shut down my email and move to a new system last night. I was warned but I was unaware of the implications of this move so when I woke up and my phone and computer didn't have any emails on it, I was trying to stay calm. I finally got a web-based email to work for my business but that is all I could sort out today. But all my old emails are in my old system (for 15 years) and now I have a new system and they don't talk. What fun!

I went on a walk with my neighbor today. We took Lucky for a walk around the neighborhood. I finally got to hear about her trip to Hawaii. 

Until tomorrow...

WHAT A MORNING

 I was casually sitting drinking my tea when I heard a scream. It was a dog scream. I didn't think much at first because I live two doors down from a doggie daycare. But the scream continued. I jumped up and went to my balcony. A dog from the doggie day care fell from a second floor balcony into another neighbor's backyard. The dog was screaming. I ran down (in my PJs) and scaled a fence to get the dog. I was able to calm the dog and get a leash over it's head but then I had to figure out how to get the dog to the fence and over it. I tried to pick it up (I barely touched it's rib cage) and it screamed bloody murder. We decided it would be better for the doggie daycare guy to come through my house and climb the fence and get the dog. So I left the dog and got the guy. He used a towel to carry the dog like in a hammock. He took the dog to the doggie ER. I know the dog hurt it's leg because it was limping and I suspect it fell on a wooden fence on the way down. The poor doggie. I will give an update when I hear. 

That was my morning. Then I just worked until my brother called to help me with some computer problems I have been having. He is so helpful. He comes up with such good solutions. 

I ordered Thai food from a local place and had to put it off when my brother called but it was super delicious and I have leftovers for tomorrow.

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN DEHYDRATED ZUCCHINI CHIPS

 Last night before I went to bed I sliced up a zucchini, added oil and spices and put the slices in my dehydrator. This morning I had Zucchini Chips. You are probably asking what in the world do they taste like? Honestly, they taste like Doritos! I really don't taste the zucchini at all. I really search for it and so far I have only tasted zucchini on one chip. Mostly I just taste the spices which taste like Doritos. They are crunchy and crispy. Here is the process in photos:

I put some vegan cream cheese on a chip to cool it down. 

Next I think I will dehydrate some apple slices. 

Today was another work day. All these clients are going out on leave at the same time and they all want their work done before they leave on leave so I am rushing to get it all done. Leave I say! Leave. 

My neighbor stopped me when I was walking Lucky one of the two times today and she said she wanted to coordinate our walks this week. I want to hear about her trip to Hawaii. It will be nice to talk to someone other than Lucky on a walk. 

I got some great reviews on the Lemon Crinkle Cookies. One neighbor asked for the recipe. They were a hit. 

I bought an indoor TV antenna. I know what you are thinking "What??" I wanted to watch the Scripps Spelling Bee. I watch it every year and this year it is not being broadcast on ESPN for the first time in forever. I guess they decided a spelling bee is not a sport or something. 😛It is being broadcast on a channel that is not included in many packages ION. I heard that if you have an antenna that gets local channels, you can get ION. I spent like $12 to get the antenna and it works. I am not sure if I get ION but it is still cool. No more being bored if the WiFi goes out. I can still watch local channels. I get about 25 channels but most of them I would not watch (shopping, news, other languages, kids shows, etc)  I started to watch an old black and white movie that looked funny before I stopped myself and got back to work. I just hope I get to watch the spelling bee. It is always so much fun to watch the kids spell such amazing words.  It stretches my vocabulary. 

Enough for tonight. Until tomorrow...

MY PROJECT HAS BEEN SENT OUT

 Today the project I have been working on was sent to the group that is reviewing it. I am so happy. I worked really hard on it. I just hope it is approved. This has been a long five days. If I have to read the project one more time, I may pull my hair out. 

I may have gotten a new client today. I had a phone call today with someone who just had a quick question and now they may hire me. You never know...

I decided to do a hydrating project overnight. I am excited to see how it comes out. We shall see tomorrow.

I made these Vegan Date Salted Caramel Chocolate Bites and they taste really good. The inside is date paste that tastes like caramel and then it is covered in chocolate and salted on top. Just pop them in your mouth. 

I had to throw out all the dog treats and all the peanut butter stuff I made because the peanut butter I used was recalled for salmonella. Of course the jar was already 2/3 empty so I think it was fine but you can't be too careful. Once I can get more peanut butter I will make more dog treats. Such a shame. She really liked them. I had also mixed in her older cookies and now they were contaminated so she has no cookies. Okay, she has store bought cookies but she likes mine better. 

I took Lucky on a longer walk today. When we got back I gave her some pain meds to see if she feels better tomorrow. The vet said it was probably a good idea on days she walks for 2 miles with the dog walker and then walks again with me. She is still the energizer bunny and doesn't want to stop walking. Got to give it to her at 13 years old. 

Until tomorrow...

A FRIEND STOPPED BY

I got a text early this morning asking if a friend could stop by. This friend is in the area from their home and Hawaii. It was a very pleasant and unexpected visit. He came by and we sat in the backyard for about 45 minutes and did a little catch up face to face. It was good to see him.

After he left I did my meditation and read a book out in the backyard since it was such a pleasant day. And then I buckled down and got some work done before my two meetings tomorrow.

I did make a little dinner walked the dog, took my neighbors some cookies, and then sat down and watched a Netflix movie called Senior Year. I thought it was very cute and funny but be warned it has extremely bad language.

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES

 I worked on a work project for two days so what do you think I did today? Sit and rest? No, I baked! I made Vegan Lemon Crinkle Cookies, Lemonade and another think that I will show you later. I wanted to get a few things baked and ready for my busy week.

The lemon cookies are fantastic. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are sweet and tart. Just Yum! I used the lemons from my backyard. I have so many this year. Then I had so much lemon juice I made some lemonade with mint from my herb garden. It is so refreshing with the mint mushed in it.

I did get to meditate in the sun in between the baking. 

Today I felt really good. I was happy about that. 

Until tomorrow...

PROJECT COMPLETED

 I had this whole thing planned to write but I am in a bit of pain so I am going to make this short and go lay down. I basically worked on the same project as yesterday for another three hours today. I got it done and sent in at 4:59pm. One minute before deadline. I was proud it was not late. I said I would have it completed by 5pm. It is a draft so it doesn't look pretty but the info is there. It was exhausting to do a project of this size in two days. 

While I did the project I had Kung,Fu Panda 1, 2 and 3 playing in the background. That was how long I worked on this project. I need noise when I have to concentrate on things. Silence makes me stir crazy. 

Going to lay down now. 

Until tomorrow...

WORKING ALL DAY

 I had a busy day. I have a big project due at 5pm tomorrow and it will take about 7 hours and I worked about 4 hours today. It is a long process and I get tired doing it for too long. It is 10 pm and I am finally putting my computer down.

I took a break to meditate and take Lucky for a walk. That was my day.

I need to go to sleep now. 

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN DOG TREATS

 I decided to make Lucky some vegan dog treats today. I ran out of pumpkin so I used apple sauce instead. I cut them out in cute shapes: squirrels, bunnies, dog houses, carrots and flowers. All things dogs love or love to chase. I gave her a taste and she loved her cookie. 

Besides that I did nothing except meditate and work. I took Lucky for a short walk. That was my day.

Until tomorrow...

LUCKY WAS JUST STUNNED

 Well, Lucky fans, Lucky does not have a UTI. She is mirroring her Mama. They think she either has something that they need an ultrasound to find or she is acting up. I now need to decide if I want her to get an ultrasound. They would be looking for a kidney stone or something else. There is some evidence there may be something so I will probably do it. I don't want her to be in pain. I have been giving her the painkiller and that seems to be better. 

I worked like crazy today. From meeting to meeting to project. I did take time out to meditate. I need to take the time to do that every day. I also took the time to make my physical therapy appointment in July! 

I took Lucky for a short walk after dinner. We went by a neighbor's house and his new dog got out and charged Lucky. Now Lucky weighs 16 pounds (yes, she has gained weigh during Covid and she is sensitive about it) and this dog probably weighed 50 pounds and was as tall as my hips. I saw him charging and I grabbed Lucky (scrapping my knuckles on the concrete) and held her up by my head. I wasn't sure if the dog was going to lick her or bite her but I never met the dog before but I wasn't going to wait until they got into a fight to find out. Lucky was just stunned. She didn't bark or growl or anything until the dog was dragged away and I put her down. Then she started to bark. Oh, yeah! Get all big and bad once the threat is taken away! Ha ha. 

My neighbor told me I could bring him dessert like the chocolate peanut butter cupcakes anytime. He loved them. A rave review.

I made an interesting dinner: vegan black bean pasta with broccoli, zucchini, spinach and cauliflower with taco seasoning. 

Until tomorrow...

TOOK LUCKY TO THE VET AGAIN

 I had a busy day. I had to get a work project done in the morning before I had to take Lucky to the vet. I know "what? you had to take Lucky to the vet again??" Yes, poor Lucky has been secret peeing in the house. Plus, she is scratching her ear. 

 I took her to the vet and they said the ear that was infected is looking good but now the other ear is infected. They put medicine in the ear. Then they took some pee for testing. I will find out the results tomorrow. Then they gave her a mani/pedi. They looked at her hips and legs and found nothing again but decided I needed to give her pain meds because she might be in pain. Lastly, they noticed she was late on her shots and gave her two shots. So she was poked and prodded and trimmed. She came out of the appointment and was so happy to get in the car and go home. 

I had another work project to complete before a morning meeting tomorrow. Just so much to do. But I took a short bit of time to make Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Strawberry Fudge. It tastes so good. 

I had one piece and I love it! Like eating peanut butter and strawberry jelly.

Until tomorrow...

FIVE HOUR WORK VIDEO CALL

 Today I had a work video call that was scheduled for one hour. Five hours later I was hanging (do you hang up from a video call?) from the call. My whole day was spent on a work call. I was going to make dog biscuits for Lucky. Oh well, I can make them another day. 

I delivered some cupcakes to a neighbor who was very appreciative for the dessert. 

I made a delicious dinner of barbecue tofu, asparagus, and green beans. 

It was a full day.

Until tomorrow...

VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER FILLED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

I decided to make vegan cupcakes today. Not just plain cupcakes but chocolate cupcakes filled with a peanut butter and vegan cream cheese mixture. Then I make chocolate vegan butter cream frosting to put on top.  These cupcakes are so chocolatey and moist. The filling is just the right amount of peanut butter and the frosting is so creamy and chocolatey. I got to use my gadget that punches out the middle of the cupcake to put the peanut butter filling. 

I made one cupcake for a friend because they do not like chocolate and peanut butter (blasphemy!). I made a chocolate cupcake with cherry jam inside. Kind of a black forest cupcake. 

Lucky and I went for two short walks today. I am trying to do more to reduce stress. I was less stressed when I was walking more. I spoke to two neighbors. One of them is getting some cupcakes. 

Until tomorrow...

STRESS REDUCTION

I am working on reducing stress. I met with my doctor today and he spoke with me about ways to reduce stress. He wants me to do one week of deep breathing 10 times once a day. I am adding this to my guided meditations. I am also going to practice 5-4-3-2-1. If you have never heard of it it is: name 5 things you see around you, name 4 things you can touch around you, name 3 things you can hear around you, name 2 things you can smell around you and (the last one I have heard two ways) name 1 thing you can taste around you OR name 1 thing positive about yourself. This is a grounding technique if you are stressed or anxious or even upset. It takes the focus off what is upsetting and gives you time to calm down and breathe. 

I got so anxious at the doctor's office that I almost had an panic attack.  I was nearly there. I haven't had a panic attack since I was in college. It isn't COVID, it is prolonged pain and not knowing what is causing it. Mixed with having all my pleasurable activities taken away: cooking, baking, exercising, going outside to see neighbors, and eating. The feeling like the pain will not end and I will not get to participate in these activities again sent me over a ledge. 

Getting answers has helped a lot. I feel like there is an end to the tunnel. I feel like people take me and take my pain seriously. There is no miracle cure that will make me better immediately but I will eventually be better. 

I have plans to bake this weekend. Maybe cupcakes!?!

I made vegan fried rice tonight. It had tofu, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, and green beans. It was so good. 

Until tomorrow...

MORE ANSWERS

Today was the trip to the gynourologist. I won't say I wasn't nervous. I guess I had visions of the type of tests they would do. But it went really well.

Turns out that as some women get older they lose estrogen. Long story short this causes problems in the feminine area. The solution is estrogen cream. The other part is that I have been holding a lot of stress, as we all have, and I need to reduce my stress. I will be working on that. This does not mean that I don't have Interstitial cystitis but it is not the main cause of what's been going on. I think my interstitis cystitis is still in the background and I need to be aware of it and not drink caffeinated beverages and it may have been why this all came to a front when it did. So no more caffeinated beverages for me.

I won't see any results for about 3 months so there is no miracle cure that's going to make me feel better immediately.

Tonight I had a nice meal with all sorts of vegetables and vegan cheese. It was good to eat something delicious.

Until tomorrow...

COLONOSCOPY COMPLETE

So, last night was fun. I won't go into the gory details but I only got 2 hours of sleep between 11:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. The rest of the time I was dealing with drinking prep solution and water and getting rid of the them. Part way through I realized how happy I was that Lucky was somewhere else. It was enough to take care of myself nevertheless have to take care of a very needy dog.

I got dressed at 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 I was in a cab. I got to the place a little early I hung outside to get some fresh air since I was feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous probably from not eating solid food. At around 7:00 a.m. they called me in and you know little bit after 7:30 I was under anesthesia.

The results are very good I had a very clean colonoscopy. Nothing to worry about and she didn't find anything. I came home thank you to my neighbor who drove me and got right into bed with all my clothes on. I slept most of the day.

Lucky finally came home around 1:30 and funny enough didn't seem that excited to see me. I guess I have to be away from her longer than one night for her to be excited to see me again.

Now I have to rest up for my Thursday appointment with the next Doctor.

Until tomorrow...

ONE MORE DAY

I have started my prep and honestly it seems to be easier than previous times. Someone told me a secret. Stop eating solids more than two days ahead. That seems to be making it easier. It will be a long night but it will be over soon. I already ordered my taxi for the morning and my neighbor is picking me up when it is over. 

Today I made a mistake at work. I attribute it to not eating food for 48 hours. The client was very forgiving and didn't fire me. In fact they gave me a large project to do after this procedure. 

Lucky is gone at her sleepover. She won't eat at the sleepover. I guess she is being finicky and misses Mama. 

Until tomorrow...

HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY!!

Today is the anniversary of writing this blog. It has been ELEVEN years of writing this blog. So much has happened in eleven years: a relationship ended, my dog went over the rainbow, I began vegan cooking/baking, COVID, I switched from Enbrel to Orencia, I had meningitis, I went on a few vacations, I had foster kids, I got Lucky, and I lost most of my prednisone weight. It has been an exciting eleven years.

Today was all about keeping busy while I didn't eat any real food. I only had veggie broth and vegan jello. I drank peach tea and water. I want this colonoscopy to go easy and the prep to be smooth. I have been told that if you only do liquids for two days before it goes better. Let's hope this works. Hydration, hydration!!

To keep myself busy I watched the end of a movie "Thor: The Dark World" and started "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".  I finished a project that is due tomorrow for a meeting. I worked on the puzzled and I took a bath. 

I felt that keeping busy is the best way today. I have Lucky's stuff packed and ready for her to go on her sleepover. I hope she has a good time. 

Until tomorrow...

THE PREPARATION CONTINUES

 Today was a day of preparation. I did laundry, washed my comforter, finished filling out my paperwork, and went through all my junk mail.

I watched the Kentucky Derby and went through the mound of junk mail on my table. I found a few things that I needed and recycled the rest. It felt good to get rid of all that stuff. First I got rid of the boxes and now the junk mail. I feel lighter already with all the junk gone. 

Then I worked on my puzzle for a bit while I was waiting for the race to start. I now have the entire castle completed and connected to the boarder. I am getting closer. That is about 1/3 of the puzzle complete. 

I am back watching the Marvel series again. Tonight is Iron Man 3. 

Until tomorrow...

RECEIVED MY VEGAN TREAT BOX TODAY

 Well, it's Friday. My first day of an even more restricted diet. My food order showed up today and this will make it easier. I have some apricot jam instead of berry that has seeds. I got some vegan cream cheese instead of peanut butter. I got some white bread instead of whole grain muffins. I have apple juice to drink with the prep. I got some potato chips well, that is for me. 

I basically worked today. Yesterday I broke down a bunch of boxes that I had in my dining room from things I had bought over the past year. It wasn't the packing boxes but the manufacturer boxes. I kept them a while in case I needed to ship the item back if it didn't work. Then I just kept forgetting to break the box down on trash day. Next thing I knew I had a bunch of boxes around. The dining room looks so much less cluttered without the boxes. 

I have been trying to work on the puzzle every day. Today I figured out a whole section connected together and the entire castle is almost complete. Now I have to complete the whole background. I may finish this puzzle this year. 

I got my monthly vegan box of treats today. It has all sorts of goodies in it. Truffle popcorn, granola, dried apricots, chocolate tahini, Hippeas and more. Hopefully I will be able to eat the stuff soon.  

Until tomorrow...

FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!

 Feliz Cinco de Mayo! I made chocolates a few days ago. They were for Cinco de Mayo. I made Mexican chocolate. If you have not had Mexican chocolate it is made with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Not a lot just enough to give a kick. I made chocolates in the shape of skulls, sombreros, alpacas and cactus. I used the Mexican chocolate and some white chocolate.

Today is also the anniversary of my dear Happi's birthday. Both Lucky and I miss her so much. 

I am working to get my world in order before next week. I ordered food today since I can't eat another whole list of foods. Pretty soon I will be able to only drink water at this rate!  Ha ha. I looked at my jam selection and they all have seeds, I can't eat seeds for the next five days. I am not supposed to eat high fiber and my whole house is high fiber. No nuts and I am a vegan who eats nothing but nuts. Tonight I had an open faced vegan grilled cheese sandwich on artisan white bread. 

Until tomorrow...

ONE WEEK UNTIL FIRST TEST

 My first test is in one week. I printed out the colonoscopy directions today and plotted out my plan since it is a multi-day process. I also decided that Lucky needs to do a sleepover with the dog walker since my colonoscopy is really early in the morning and I will be awake all night. I can't deal with her needing to go outside and me needing to... you know. One of us has to take priority. Plus when I get back I won't be in any mood to deal with an excited dog. 

I spoke to the doctor today and she said I basically had very few bacteria in the sample of urine so I was under the threshold for a UTI. She says this is a sign there is something going on since this is the third time it has happened. Hopefully next week will give me answers. 

Today is the anniversary of my moving to the west coast. I have been here for 31 years. 

Until tomorrow...

TEST RESULTS CAME BACK

My test results from last Friday came back and I did not have a UTI. What does that mean? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm trying not to Google too much. 

I made another bland dinner of rice pilaf, broccoli, avocado and zucchini. A very green dinner. 

I meditated today out in the warm sun. It is getting easier with the guided meditations. 

I got into bed at 6:30 pm again tonight. I'm just so tired and exhausted, 

Until tomorrow...

FIRST COVID HOME TEST

 Today one of my medicines is complete and I am not feeling better. I still have the antibiotics to finish. If I am not feeling better tomorrow I am calling the doctor. I should be hearing about the results from the test tomorrow too. 

I got the prep kit for my upcoming colonoscopy. I charted out my prep the day before. I need to figure out something to drink besides water. All the drinks on the list are on my bad or try list so I need to try them this week. The options are apple juice, clear grape juice, lemonade, tea, coffee, coffee, and Gatorade. 

I did my first nasal COVID home test today. I felt that since I went to the doctor's office three times in seven days, I was higher risk for getting infected even though I wore two masks and stayed as far away from folks as I could. I was still in small exam rooms with people. I am three days from the last exam and had a very clear negative test. I think I am in the clear. 

Okay, now I need to talk about those tests. I used a test I got from the mail from the government. Who wrote those directions? They are horrible. Worse then the directions we had on how to the vaccine! I think all direction should be written by IKEA. They really know how to write directions. 

Until tomorrow...

NOT FEELING AS GOOD AS I SHOULD

 I am three days into antibiotics and I should be feeling much better. I am not. I am feeling a small bit better. I’ll call the doctor in the morning. 

I decided to make Cinco de Mayo chocolates today. They are supposed to be Mexican chocolate but I am not sure they are. I put the cinnamon and cayenne pepper in the chocolate but it doesn’t taste that different.  They are cute. 

Until tomorrow…
