    Forgot to say it is 86 degrees, with humidity at 71% and a "feels like" of 98 degrees. Possibility of rain around 5 - 6 PM. Good day to stay inside the house! And because Nannie was 'trained' to...

    So peculiar to move my feet and legs in bed and there is no Momo to work around. She had 3-4 places she slept on the bed, and we worked it out very nicely. I am having a hard time with her no longer...

    When SiL brought Nannie home, she washed and cut her hair and gave her a perm; then she offered to cut my hair if I wanted her to. So, I said "yes, please". Later, since she had brought us our...

    All the 'kids' in my family were out the door after HS graduation. Couldn't wait to get our own places. My sister and I shared an apartment in Cambridge for a while, then I got mononeucleosis (sp?)...

    Mornin'~ Was a strange and lonesome night last night; there was no 'routine' with Momo, which I had gotten quite used to; she was a smart little dog, and a good companion. At least I know for...

    So, since we got up, Momo has a really rapid, pounding heartbeat (160?) and resp....short little pants with some wheezing....at 100/min. They told me last time at OUR vet that she had a heart murmur...

    87 degrees with humidity of 76% and "feels like" 98 degrees. Thunderstorm possible at 5 PM. My arthritis is KILLING me, the meds aren't helping and neither is the lidocaine wrap at my lower back....

    Yep, I reckon the Prednisone has "left the building". I hurt again this morning. There won't be any projects, chores or tasks taking place today. I do have to go pick up my refills for Methocarbamol...

    Did not sleep well last night. I HURT in my lower back, my left lateral hip and knee, and just could not find any comfortable position. I got up at 8 AM, made myself a cup of coffee, then took my...

    88, feels like 96, humidity 63%, and some medium percentage of rain. I am awake but feel sleepy, with a medium percentage of the possibility of a nap! But I kinda hate to waste my time off by sleeping...

    88 degrees with a 'feels like' of 96 degrees, 75% chance of rain, but so far we are still in the 25% not getting any rain (yet?) BiL and SiL are home from the beach. SiL said she sat with the dog...

    This is not "nursing humor", but I couldn't find an appropriate place to put these, hence they are landing here! I saw a few things in the past two weeks that I thought were funny, so I will put them...

    Still morning, but heading up to noon time. Today's complaints started last night when I discovered Momo had peed off the pad that I put at the foot of the bed, and onto my comforter. Bummer! Had to...

    Yup, I'm awake. I have 5 minutes to "relax" with a cup of coffee, then I have to go down and wake up Nannie, who, at some point this AM, got up in the dark and fell asleep sitting up in her recliner....

    Dishes done, laundry winding up its last cycle before the dryer, and I took the trash bins out to the road. Nannie didn't want to watch TV, but I left it on anyway. Momo's bed has been washed/dried,...

    It really, REALLY, REALLY annoys me when Nannie just sits there and looks at me ALL. OF. THE. TIME. If I look up at her, she smiles. Why? What am I supposed to do, smile back? Sometimes I say...
