    Set my alarm clock for 7:30, but didn't get up until 9 AM. Now it is 9:20 and I am drinking coffee and stretching out my achey lower back. I have to put some clothes on and go get Nannie up in a few...

    Plan B-44 for the pre-wedding instructions from SiL. (oy!)---- I got a text that Nannie and I should be up and dressed by 10 AM, and then her sister will be coming over to 'fix' Nannie's hair and...

    I had 'wash the sheets' on Thursday, but it also happens (for Nannie) more than a few times a week. Anyway, all the laundry was done yesterday, as were the dirty dishes, and the putting out of the...

    Yes, Chatty CG DID show up, her usual 20 minutes late, but at least she is here; and she talked for 30-40 minutes, telling me what all she's been through....sick with possible new strain of COVID?...

    Ahahahaha! Nannie's horror-scope sez she is feeling feisty and will have a good time 'pulling people's chains'. How is that any different from any other day? I am up and covered with capsaicin...

    ....Aaaand, she's BACK! Just got back from picking up Nannie from daycare. Good deal out at the dealership: Because I bought my tires from them, the tires have a 2 year warranty, AND they found...

    I've got 15 minutes to stretch out my lower back and take my meds and gulp some coffee....I have to get Nannie ready for BiL to take her to daycare. Then I have to drive out to the dealership, because...

    My GOSH! I got Nannie into bed at 10 PM and was sitting out here in the den when I heard a HUGE KER-THUMP!. No, she didn't actually fall out of bed....she was trying to reach something on her walker...

    When I got Nannie up, she didn't want to wake up and we went through the same thing of her not being "able" to open her eyes, or stand up, just like last night. I wonder if she will doze off now that...

    Hey, Tweety, we got that same "on and on" thunderstorm around 3 AM....it was a real humdinger! Bright, sharp, loud, with vigorous rain, and it came and went in 'waves'. I enjoyed it thoroughly, while...

    Ugh. OK. Got the shopping done, sort of.....I got three different blouses to choose from, depending on what pants I'm going to wear. They are summery, light weight, with sleeves that won't be...

    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...
