The Ka-Tet Cantina 3

[GNTLGNT]

Well, seems as if a whole bunch of us are having such a hard time right now. Hope you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Our streak of bad luck (or, just LIFE, if I'm trying to stay positive ) just keeps on truckin' along. Fuel pump is out on Scott's truck. Have one coming but he has been driving my car and my driveway looks like an auto repair shop. Had to remove the bed to get to the pump.

Someone at some point in the last 2 weeks put a nice dent in my passenger side front door. Looks like someone rammed a shopping cart into it or kicked it.

Then we discovered the outside spigot that is hooked up to the cooler was broken and spraying water inside the house. And had been, for days. Where it is on the outside of the house corresponds to the crawl space under the stairs. Access panel is in my library, and we don't use that space for anything, so I, of course, had a bookshelf in front of that panel. I walked in my library and the carpet was wet and the freaking drywall, too.

Ali cut her hair again. At least, I think she did. One side is 2 inches shorter. She just keeps saying she doesn't know how it happened (not, no I didn't cut my hair) so I am pretty sure she is lying to protect her little friend from across the street...I think they did it together. Lying is only going to make it so, so much worse. Guess it is time for that life lesson. But really? She didn't learn her lesson the last time she cut it? Kids!!

And then the whole bank snafu, which did end up causing us problems. There were more transactions that did the disappearing act than I thought.

So, like I said, just life...but it seems to be coming fast and furious these days. I sure would like a calm few months. Or weeks. Even a couple days.

But, we are pretty blessed in the grand scheme. I try to remind myself of that. Some days I do better than others.

Anyway, that is what has been happening 'round here lately.

Hope you all have a really good day. Big hugs and positive vibes to all!!

...a day in OUR lives.....never fun, but certainly never boring!.....

Great to hear, Cat!

 

[Big_Lou]

Busy, so busy, as of late....hammering away at this old place, tending to the lawns, minding the dogs, maintaining a kickass marriage, AND managing to get a bit of sleep in the bargain!


This afternoon/evening is set aside for beer, smoking too much, and nostalgia - my lifeblood!


(0:50-0.55, scene from Stripes with Harold = , 2:45-2:54 = )

Hope everyone is doing well, or as well as to be expected ~

cat in a bag You need a bubble bath, a beer and possibly some benzos, maybe - if the beer doesn't do the trick. Good news from the doctor though!

You might see it again tonight!

Yes, you were right, I did see it again. Just as beautiful as the night before.

Same here. I tried using the tablet to get a pic but it wasn't clear. To the naked eye, though, it's like a floodlight.

Tonight the moon will actually be full. Me too, by the way. Try the app Night Cap Pro for moon pics.
You can adjust the shutter speed and the aperture.

So this is why everyone was driving crazy today. It's usually a peaceful ride to work. Man. Seemed more traffic. Everyone cutting off (me)

Wonder if there is any truth to that. Sure seems so.

 

[HollyGolightly]

It was Drive Crazy Day - you didn't get the memo!!

Tomorrow is Friday is my Favorite Day day. It's our youngest daughter's birthday. I'm taking her and some friends to the Orpheum for the Grease sing along. This is going to be so much fun. I saw that movie 9 times in a theater. I still know all the songs. It should be very embarrassing for her!! Should I wear my catsuit and Sandy shoes?

Ha - yes, I should. I'd look exactly like that, but shorter and rounder and older.

Did somebody say

Spoiler: ummm

benzodiazepines

Those are okay for short term use but I find that my head is so much clearer now that I stopped taking them to help with sleep - pretty sure they can become psychologically addictive.

Hello and good morning everyone.I just wanted to stop in and wish you all a great weekend/ upcoming week. I will talk to you all on the 29th. My husband has one last vacation starting the 22nd. Sending you all tons of hugs and love. I am off to rest this ankle or I will be crawling after this vacation is done. Hugs to you all.

 

[Becks19]

Thanks everyone, for the good wishes!

I just heard back from a nurse at the dr office. The markers were negative for lupus and RA. She said one of the markers was elevated, so that means I have inflammation going on, but no infections. So, that is 99% good news, I will take it.

She asked if I wanted to make an appointment to talk everything over with the doctor but I said we had talked about it during my visit last week and I was to just keep her posted on pain levels, since right now it responds ok to OTC meds. Most of the time, anyway.

That is a pretty big weight off.

Tina, Fantastic news! I am glad that everything came back negative.I hope you feel better soon.

So true! But they certainly stopped the noise in my head when I needed them.

Happy Friday, love!
