    That's it! I am firing Nannie! She asked me why I was limping and groaning with each step. I said, "I have very bad arthritis." (easier to explain.) and she LAUGHED at me. I said "What is so funny...

    Just wanted to say, I can't believe that TOS bleeps out the first three letters of the abbreviation for the word 'assistant'! It looked like I was calling the surgical assistant a bad

    When I got back from Tinker dragging me around the yard, the phone beeped (it is charging) and it was a message from the surgical ***'t, calling to tell me that I will have to pay my deductible of...

    Knees (gneeze), thighs and hips aching like nobody's business. Prior to going to bed, I rubbed Capsaicin on my front thighs and knees, and down the shins. At some point in the middle of my night, the...

    A meeting about another (future) meeting? I would GROAN if I had to be involved in that, regardless of what it's about. I must confess I was not always well behaved at meetings at my agency when we...

    Feels like Saturday. Wish I had some "loose money", (ie not needed for anything else)... so I could go shopping. I need another lamp for my bedside..... the one I have now, you can't turn it OFF! I...

    It is in the 60's and sunny. Now, at 1 PM, gotta get my butt up off this sofa and go into Nannie's room to get her up. Whoop-de-dooooo! I don't have anything in particular planned today, except to put...

    Noontime. Nannie is at daycare. I have to get dressed, do some dishes, but no laundry. I have nothing new or interesting to tell y'all. I'm not bailing out of this site, I just am tired of myself and...

    Apparently free shredding events don't happen around here until after April 2026. Everything else listed on-line was for 2024 and 2025, which is not the least bit helpful to know.

    47 degrees and overcast; supposed to rain.....and it has, so far, a little bit. Not sure if it is going to get any wetter; we could use the rain, as they say we are still in a drought. Woke up...

    A cold, quiet evening. Nannie is sitting in her recliner folding, refolding, and rearranging and counting a stack of PAPER TOWEL sections. She seems to be unable to make all the edges match up evenly,...

    So, here it is, Friday again, with another long weekend yawning like a sinkhole right in front of me. I have the usual laundry and dishes to take care of while Nannie is at daycare. Then I have to go...

    Thanks for the info. Sounds good. There are no liens (leins?) because my FiL paid off the whole thing before he died. BiL and SiL have been bequeathed a percentage of the house/property in Nannie's...

    Gosh, Tweety, I really hate hearing your bowel problems continue. Mine have (mostly) slowed the abrupt-loose-stool-eruption problem. Not sure why, except I have sort of decided to try to NOT be as...

    My gosh, there is a lot of traffic out there, and parking lots and stores are crammed full of shoppers! I only went to CVS for one item, and Food Lion for several more items, but the LINES!! I don't...

    I should make a video here of Nannie doing her endless fussing and rearranging of her sleeves and the hem of her jerseys. I could make it one of those them-there STREAMING videos and y'all could...

    Honestly, I think that Tweety and Joe have "the luck of the Irish" (sarcasm) regarding their work days. Whatever will load them up while a 'good' day has been occurring, by the end of the shift will...

    I am being totally slothful today. It is 1:40 PM and I am still lolling in bed, having my coffee. I woke up at 11 and took my meds and crawled back under the covers, then slept until 1:20 PM. Not...

    Didn't sleep well last night and ended up taking 1/2 Xanax around 4:30 AM. Then at noon, Tinker started barking....and it was Nannie coming up the stairs to see what's going on. What was going on was...

    Hiya, Hiya, Hiya! (That's froggy, twanging his magic twanger) Nannie's "magic twanger" is out of order. She doesn't know the difference between the tray in her lap, and the table beside her. She held...

    Nannie is doing her "sort-of, kind-of" sleeping, ie, she isn't out like a light yet. It is chilly here in the den, so maybe turning from AC to a low heat setting, will soothe Nannie into actually...

    j22~ I wouldn't mind having an eyelid lift, my eyelids droop over my eyelashes. It's charming. (Ppfftt!) The glasses distract from the skin-landslide over my eyes!
