The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[TwinkleStars]

I am so tempted to follow your example. The heat and humidity here means I wear my hair up almost all year round anyway, and that extra ton of hair piled on top in the summer might keep my neck less hot but makes my entire head hotter!

Just go ahead and do it. I love my hair long but I don't have the patience to style it and brush it everyday so......chop chop!

If you don't like it, it does grow back

it does, indeed... I cut off a lot last year but H is all "aw, don't cut your hair *additional words*"

additional words???

 

[butters]

additional words???

yeah, men-stuff, like he liked my long hair etc... not whining, just saying, in more words than I planned on typing

Short is fine, as long as it's long enough to grab a firm handful (without causing duress).

waiting for him to get home... pepperoni pizza with mushrooms/toms/fairy peppers and onion toppings made and cooling, and a fresh pot of coffee brewing.

excitement for the day here was a tornado warning on the phone with a 'go to your basement now' message. Got his mom down there on a chair, ran around closing all the windows and outer doors, watched really dirty skies pass by us, then got her back upstairs. Not even a spot of rain with it, though it poured this morning and we're due more heavy rain tonight. Yesterday's temps read almost 100 yesterday and 90 today. In May. Really???!

seems he'll be home around 7ish, was in surgery for 3.5 hours and in recovery room now.

does 3.5 hours sound a long time for a skin graft?

edit: apparently not, with simple ones taking 1-2 hours and more complicated ones as long as up to 12 hours.

Sending healing hugs to butters and Harry.

Sending healing hugs to butters and Harry.

much appreciated, twinkle... now he's not only got his shoulder all padded and wadded, he's wearing pads and bandages from the top underside of his leg on the same side where they took the graft/s.

something that amused me, knowing H, was the highlighted section in his discharge notes that read "After leaving the hospital I will make changes to my activity as ordered." It's the "as ordered" bit that had me smiling.

Nogt, not long.

You obviously have experience with home healthcare (and Harry obviously has some experience himself), so you both know what it takes to have successful outcomes when it comes to treating / dealing with medical / health issues.

I would say “good luck”, but I don’t believe luck will have much to do with it. Positive attitudes and consistently / accurately following the treatment plan “as ordered” should yield a satisfactory outcome.

Be well -both of you.

I miss you guys. My aim is getting better though.

Funny girl, good to see you.

I dropped her off at the airport this morning. Pissing down rain. I miss her warm body and the little hairs on her back as I kiss my way down and stroke her smooth skin with my hands.

I tell her I’ll pick up my other girls on the way home from the airport and she encourages me to wear my pink slippers as they’re extra hot.

A tent. Overlooking a valley. With our stupidly hot doona. She says let’s do it.

You’d think after so long we would be okay. Without each other. No.

busy and productive day: weeded all the beans, the cukes and baby carrots & erected the support frame for the transplanted beans. Lifted the cages off the second lot of corn and placed one over the carrots. Weeded the circular potato bed. H and I took a nap between my weeding sessions which was nice.

tomorrow, the plan is to weed the pepper bed and the 2 potato short rows and the corn... the corn needs it the most right now and should only need doing the once since the first lot is already past waist height and filling out well, shading the weeds that were growing up between them. And then some afternoon mowing. That's the plan, anyway, we'll see what gets done

Cages on corn?

 

[girlsmiley]

Never heard of cages on corn. Corn is grown in summer and grown in blocks as far as I know.

Probably has a rabbit infestation.

We had to put up wire to keep the hares off the porch where the annuals were hardening off.

Oh right. Makes sense

 

[butters]

wire fencing but bent over like a tunnel and I block off the ends. Use it on most the veggies as they're starting off just to keep the rabbits from eating the new growth. Once things are established and less likely to get damaged, I lift them off. Wire fencing around one lot of green beans still but not as a cage; another few weeks I can lose that, too.

not a ton of them, but enough that can get into the veggie garden and eat stuff. The dog chases off the big ones when she notices them but is really more interested in kidnapping the babies to kiss and lick and fuss to death on the porch like little puppies.
