Afternoon all...
Surprise party is off for the out of towners at least.
Freezing sleet, slush, snow, slick roads and worse on bridges and intersections/ramps, plus already starting to get dark.

Just got caught up on the thread before working on a few more things around here...

I was going to attend a club meeting this morning but fell asleep.

Best reason for missing a meeting!!!

Coffee, coffee...

Yum!! Keep mine warm please. Coffee at midnight is not my jam.

Silly girl! I'm not smarter than you. I might (probably) have different experiences than you do. I love that we are a team, along with our resident researcher, @likes2watchU! Together, we are greater than the sum! ️

Such kind words! Thank you

I possess something I call cop-dar. I almost always know when there's a cop in my vicinity. IDK how, but I do. Yesterday, when I was driving to my dr appointment, I was driving in the HOV lane with my pass. (Here, one can pay a bit to drive in the HOV lanes on some of the freeways.) I has been driving just a bit (or more) over the speed limit when I unconsciously backed off on my speed. I saw a vehicle far behind me in the same lane. As it got closer, I moved out of the lane so the vehicle could pass me. Sure enough, it was WSP!

Now that's a Superpower to have!!

I’m up way too early as got a call from my son at 2 am. It was about his mom, my X, who had a dementia episode. She called him wanting him to get her and take her home. She is in an assisted living facility. As he has autism, he was having difficulty handling this. And he called his reliable old dad.

I called him down. But I could not get back to sleep. I know I have to live a long life as my adult kids especially my son needs me. It’s a challenge but I accept it.

Sending to whoever needs it and knowing we have each other’s back here no matter what challenges you are facing.

I'm so sorry, B2. That's a lot on your plate.
You're an amazing caretaker for the loved ones in your life!!

Maybe if I can keep a cardiologist. I’m on my third.

Continuity of Care is a part of health care IMO
on finding one and that they stick around a while
I've had similar issues since one of my doctors retired. Just when I found a 5-star replacement they moved her to a different clinic.
None of my top-shelf doctors have any availability anymore. It takes months to get an appointment with them.

Paper plates qnd plastic silverware

I have compostable on order... since we know someone with a farm. All that land? Surely there's a compost pile somewhere?

Gotta see my mom in there somewhere too.

Mom
Have a great visit!!!

I took a concealed carry class and I am very careful. The guy next to me was so scary. He was firing like he was in a gang or a rap video....he did not return for second half of class.... I was scared shooting next to him..... shooting with the gun horizontal. Pointing it everywhere but in front of him. At one point he shoved it down the back of his pants..... we were in pairs with a trainer to supervise. Our trainer said to me. "Just keep shooting" and he was on that guy.... to the tune of wtf are you doing?

That is a serious Come To Jesus waiting to happen
hmm, maybe on more than one level

Well lunch with Santa at the village then village Christmas party. Wedding tomorrow. Work event and lions club monday...... makes me tired thinking of it.......

Goodness! That is a lot... a lot of fun but also will take a lot of energy. Take breaks and hope you can squeeze in a quick nap somewhere among all the fun!

Well…he mentioned I needed to go see the cardiologist but didn’t give a referral. He punted that to my GP…which put me on waivers about 3 yrs ago (I see an AME twice a year, so I’m getting checked out) so I drove straight to the place where I’ve done two routine stress tests and a nuke test. They have all my records…but wouldn’t make an appointment until I get a referral from a GP…is this all a racket?

Anyhow, I called one of the local health groups, got another appointment with a PA, who’s going to get me set up with a Cardio Doc, and I took on one of their GP’s for anything else like this. As if this wasn’t enough red tape, I now have to deal with my company medical rabbit holes…and the feds….

Anyhoo…much love to you, MissK, R2 and others who lit a fire under me to run this down. .

don't get me started... but my perspective is:
learn the rules to play their game
b/c their end game is to spend as little as possible
regardless of patient outcome

Ok. I know it doesn’t follow the traditional 12 days, but the way I see it now and as a kid, it was the countdown to the big day the fat man came a call’n…

Besides, nobody really wants to hear any more Christmas music and movies after the 25th anyhow…

So in that spirit…the countdown begins!

One the First Day of Christmas, my True Love sent to me…

Phone's been busy with texts all day...

Raining and icy here.
Rainy sleet.
Very slippery. Hard to walk on any surface. Be careful out there!
Don't go out until tomorrow maybe

I'll take it as a sign of concern. I mean - what exactly do these people think I'm doing today?

Meanwhile - I don't trust this map.
Am I reading this correctly? All this winter stuff is going on and the UP is clear?
Yeah - that's not sus at all

Morning everyone View attachment 2445228

What would we do without your coffee memes? I love this one!

 

[Lilianna23]

Maybe if I can keep a cardiologist. I’m on my third.

WTH?!??? That really sucks, Noor!

 

[Lilianna23]

Also stay off alcohol, it can make it worse

And smoking!

 

[Lilianna23]

I nominate wat again.

Well, it has to be one of you early people unless you want dishes in the sink until I finally get up. Also, I need gloves. Pink, sparkly gloves... ️️️

 

[Lilianna23]

Love that!

Just don’t resort to crime or join a gang.

Ooops. Too late on the gang thing….

I think I'm too old for criming! I can't remember what story I'm supposed to tell!

 

[Lilianna23]

These fucking guys.

I bet a bunch of us could come out there and knock this fuckin job right out. This has been going on for way too long.

Sorry - I am impatient.

For you.

It has been WAAAAAAY too long! I wasn't on top of this like I have been on other projects. Just the nit-picky stuff needs to be done now. And the clean up. These guys are pigs!

I don’t get it….they’ve been winging the ball all over the gridiron all season. Today they just ran it? When they did throw it looked like the old wishbone Army teams.

Oh well. Great season and a bowl game! Congrats to both programs for stellar years and putting the service schools back on the CFB map!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all! One cuppa down and all caught up on this thread for a few seconds.

Making a mental list of what to do today. Works been super busy the last few weeks so can’t get anything done outside after work.

I have to deliver some firewood today. Got some work done at the farmyard done, so I have to clean up there. Fill a few bins of firewood at the farm stand and get a Christmas tree and finish raking leaves.

Gotta see my mom in there somewhere too.

Sounds like a really busy day, W! How's your mom?

 

[Lilianna23]

Good thing this place is rolling in cash.


Of course, if we hired Competent Kitchen Help . . . .

You be nice to @fullservice65!

 

[Lilianna23]

You know we could. Wat would work and all y'all'd chat-n-post.


Wat wanna be union in his next life . . . .

I'm thinking I should have offered you an all expenses paid trip here to do my project! It might not have been less expensive, but it would have been done right and on time, I think!

He sounds like a potential Darwin Award nominee! That's a good way for one to blow one's balls off!

 

[Lilianna23]

Gall bladder ok. Erythema at the esophageal juncture... think its the pop riling up my gerd.....

Sounds like it.

 

[Lilianna23]

Egd didn't show it. I can handle pain...but when regular methods don't help it it drives me mad. And this is something else..... I can usually control with tums Tylenol omeprazole and a swig of milk..... this was unrelenting. Next time only taking half a tab

OMG, girl! I hope you got it under control quickly!

 

[Lilianna23]

Me either...come stand in the pretty corner with me..pew pew pew

We need to get some Queen chairs in for our girl-gang! Pink ones, of course!

 

[likes2watchU]

Hmm, thought there were a few pair under the sink in the kitchen...

Well lunch with Santa at the village then village Christmas party. Wedding tomorrow. Work event and lions club monday...... makes me tired thinking of it......

Sounds like a busy day, K! Was it fun?

I had a busy day. The tree guys came to take down my broken tree. I now have a nice stack of aromatic wood underneath my deck!

I lost my mailbox key somewhere in my house (I think) a couple of weeks ago. So today, I broke the lock on my mailbox. It was surprisingly easy to do. I attended a short class at YouTube U to learn how. My neighbor got the lock out of the door. I went to Lowe's to get a replacement lock. Nice neighbor will replace tomorrow.

My friend, nice neighbor's fiance, wasn't feeling well from a sinus infection. So I made a house call, brought her an eye mask that can be heated or cooled, and told her I'll see her in the morning.

I decided I wanted a burger but not fast food, so I'm currently sitting at the bar in my local Red Robin.
