I did get pulled over once late at night for no reason. Well he did say by the way I pulled you over for that expired registration.

Your car probably looked like the one being driven by the guy that just robbed the 7-11 I see expired reg stickers all the time, sometimes a year past due, though I've never heard of someone being pulled over for it.

I got about half way home, and my phone rang. I forgot to go get my contrast to drink. Seriously? Now I have to go back in by 1 pm, to sit around for 2 hours waiting on the contrast to work. Sheesh!

Sorry, I can't click the "like" icon for that!!!! Might want to inform the admins of this screwup. It isn't like it is the first time someone has come in for that purpose, they SHOULD know what the heck they are doing.

Fell asleep (what a surprise) - it's 2:58 am and I am just starting to attend to what needed to be dealt with yesterday . I hate when I do that

Me too. I need to clean the bunny barn, its just so danged hot again!

Sometimes I wonder about the way things are done at appointments

Its hard to get good help. And they typically pay lousy for medical people, unless you are an RN.

Ron do the beneficial nematodes kill grubs?

I had CT and bone scans scheduled for today at 10 am. Went in. Asked about getting the contrast to drink. Was informed by the lady at the check in, to have a seat, they are the professionals, and they would call me when they got to me. Ok, did as told. In a little bit, they called me. I went back, and they stabbed me 2 times to get the IV thingy in. She injected the dye, and was about to pull the IV thingy, when I told her not to. I need it for the CT scan they're doing later. Oh, ok. She called the CT dept. asking about the contrast for me to drink. Nope, I'm good to go. Go home and wait 3 hours, then return. We assumed they were going to give me the contrast to drink when I returned, so it would be ready after the bone scan was done. I head home.

Hope your day gets better

They kill different types based on what type of nematodes. Generally they will kill grubs and moth larvae--along with flea larvae. They do not kill earth worms.

Thank you so much Ron!
I am hoping they will kill what ever is bothering my apple trees.

Apple trees can get a Borer moth. https://extension2.missouri.edu/g7190

The nematodes work on soil based pests. The article above has control methods for borers. I bet your trees have one of the different types

Got home about 1. Didn't get all the shopping done and will have to go back to the city on Friday. Yeah, kinda worn out, but had a good time, especially when I stopped at the MFA and got into a gabfest with the manager.

I did find out that there isn't a norovirus going around so that means I picked up something from the rooster bites. Little freaking demon. DH is ready to cleave his head from his body. I said, no, that was too bloody. I'm just going to dose the flock with Tera vet which is one of the antibiotics for Salmonella which I have on hand, that and carry my big stick when I go in to the coop. I hate carrying a rooster whopper for just one bird. The rest of my boys are such sweethearts but Very many more spells like this one and eventually I'm going to be visiting an ER for IVs. So better them than me.

I wish I wasn't such a danged softy.

@CapricornFarm, your building bug hit me. With all the broodies I have popping up I decided that the easies way to deal with it was to build more nesting boxes so I stopped by the hardware store and picked up 2X4s.

But for the time being I'm sitting and relaxing.

@chickadoodles, that is always one of my big complaints about the medical profession. The lack of communication and organization.Sounds almost like dealing with the military, hurry up and wait.
