Well, the real just got more real here. Got our first tropical depression of the 2024 season in the Caribbean and it's predicted to be a Cat 2 hurricane by Monday. No telling where that thing (I think her name will be Beryl) will go after that, but odds are strong it will head to the Gulf. Time to lay in the bottled water I didn't last week, and some serious quantities of alcohol. Buy some alcohol for me. Wish I had some now.

I just got back from the hospital. Good news and bad news. The goods news is that my heart is fine. The bad news is that the mass in my lung looks malignant. I have a referral for the McGill University Health Center. It says *Urgent*. I was going to call Monday, but I forgot that it's Canada Day. I need a nap, a bath, and some good food. Sleeping in the cardiac ER is impossible. Machines beeping, beeping, beeping. Staff running around. Patients shouting. The food was horrific, so I barely ate. Looking forward to calamari after my nap. I have a lot of catching up to do on this board.

Welts any idea what treatment options might be? I know you used to work as a nurse. Well, chemo and radiation. Surgery. Maybe hormone treatment. I never worked in oncology. I don't want Simon to know...not yet. I always knew my smoking would eventually bite me in the ass. At least I'm near my expiration date, at 73. I'm glad it didn't happen in my 30s. I always said if I get cancer or something evil like that, I'd go for Medical Assistance in Dying. Now I realize I can't do that to Simon. Luc died, Cameron died and his father died. This would break him. Hopefully, this will save me from dementia. I'm running a much-needed bath. They don't wash you in the ER.

Yes it will hurt Simon if it comes to it, but I wish my Dad would have had that choice once he decided he'd let Sepsis take him out. Dementia isn't in the cards for you, is it? I keep saying I'm opting out of the Alzheimer's experience, but I really don't know. Mom had it and so did her mom. My dad however did not, and mentally I am more like him. (Which took me years to admit fwiw) I do hope you aren't smoking now and eating the best you can to give your body the best shot of getting past this. I think you should tell Simon as soon as reasonable. Feel free to make a bargain with him too. You will do your best to stay alive on planet if he does so too. And in his case that means regular veggie eating, etc. Just thoughts of a tired peep here in NJ. Feel free to ignore if I have overstepped in any way.

Are things weird out there in your RL? Things have been off and exhausting the past couple days. Not sure if its because its the weekend b4 July 4th or there is some special star alignment going on. For the first time I think at this job I did not finish lunch. Bus was late again, so I finished while waiting. (No bench at this stop. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/sad.png) ) Take care. I hope you're feeling better.

It was a very bad borderline day the second half of my shift actually. I am glad to be home, but I will be in tomorrow because its time and a half and if I use a half sick day it might not help much. I slept OKish last night. Woke up late enough I did not call o0ut for a half of the day which was my plan if sleep went badly. But I wasn't up at 4AM or so, and groggy when I did wake up ... so yeah it was pretty tough with weird customers back-to-back to back. But as newest coworker pointed out had all of us been there, it might have just felt busy versus a race against the clock. TY for the good thoughts.

I am soooo tired. Physically. I think it might be because my sinuses have been acting a whole ass lately. I just don’t have much energy for anything. Just getting through my work day is all I have to give right now. But that is still better than what it has been, so I’ll take it for now, and try to figure the rest out.
There are some things on my mind that Mister and I need to talk about, and those conversations need to start soon, like over the next couple of days.
I’d assumed that I’d have to work next week in the 4th, but I went and looked at the list today, and my name was not on the list. I was shocked, in a good way lol. It is not unusual for them to require everybody and their Momma work holidays lately. The force people to work their holidays by seniority and often make the senior people with over 30 years of service, work holidays.
I hadn’t made any plans for the 4th, because I’d assumed I’d have to work. I’m still not planning any festivities, I’m just glad to have day off work, with pay. If Mister takes the holiday off work, maybe we can make it a grown folks kind of day, since our normal days off work are not the same and we don’t get those kind of days anymore.

This is a dog lover kind of post….
So I’m sitting outside with Newbie and Mr. T came home. So I made sure Newbie stayed put when I saw his car, so she didn’t run over to greet him.
A few seconds later, I saw headlights shining down our driveway and Newbie started fussing, mostly growling, because someone else was in the cove. Fortunately Mister had already told me somebody would be coming, because otherwise, I probably would’ve let Newbie investigate. But I told her she was a good girl for warning me, and told her to stay put while I investigated. Not exactly like that, but that’s how it happened without going into unnecessary details. The person was walking down the driveway and I said go to the front door, don’t come down here. Mr. T hadn’t got out of his car yet, so I was trying to keep an eye on him, the other person, and Newbie all at the same time.
Newbie did great with obeying my commands, and what I noticed and loved about it was that she was looking at me and making eye contact the whole time, waiting for me to tell her what to do. When I got her situated and told her to sit and stay, she was alert and watching me, but she did not move until I told her it was okay.
I did not really get into seriously trying to train my dogs until I got my Bullmastiff and knew that I had to step my game up because she was likely to end up weighing as much as I did, or more. Then I ended up with the big Poodle, that had such a bad attitude that he probably would’ve gotten me in a lot of trouble if I’d not learned what I did about training dogs.
Newbie was already very willing to obey when we brought her home, if we could make it clear to her what we wanted her to do, so it was really easy to train her. Her training was put to the test this evening, and I am really proud of her and to a lesser degree, proud of myself for the work I did with her when she came to live with us, that made it possible for her to understand what I was asking her to do. Especially since she doesn’t even have a collar on, so if I hadn’t been able to control her with my voice and verbal commands, I would’ve had a potential mess in my hands.

Trying to hydrate and go to bed. Work is early tomorrow. Boss OK'd one sick day, Monday. I know boss is covering in another office most of next week, so perhaps that's why she denied my request for Tuesday off.
Obviously if my recovery goes badly, I will call out sick and use my last sick day on Tuesday. Its been a rough year, Dad and Moon Shadow died this calendar year and was obvious about a year ago AAA was not going to do the right thing re making my car undriveable without lots of effort during work hours.
Hope to be intelligent enough to filling out the IRA disbursement from Dad's death on Monday and apply for a better job this weekend? IDK. The better job is not on this bus line and I probably do need to have a car in order to do it I am hoping timing will work out like the rep said (IRA company). Pray for me, I will need lots of luck and mojo.

I am having a hard time getting ready to leave. I look at all the work hubs has done and this is some house. Well built, has all the bells and whistles. Even though we are out I love the property as its peaceful and nice.
Then I told hubs what do we do? We wait until we can't do all this stuff and stay here? That could be a disaster. He said we will never have another house as nice as this. I know that too, up there would take a million or more. I never had a hard time moving ever and I have told people just treat it as an adventure. I always did, but this time, its hard.
We know what we need to do but its damn hard. I am so afraid for hubs. I honestly feel like I'm hurrying because I'm scared he will die, there I said it out loud. And I know he is confused and I'm sure worried about it though we don't talk about it. It's kind of the elephant in the room, but heck I could go first. I would be lost here without him and could only manage for so long. I was never scared as I was strong and resilient. But tonight had trouble opening the garage door to get the mower out. Sure I could get an opener, but that is just one issue. Now I have forced myself up and down the stairs so doing pretty good now, legs are stronger. But again, how long will that last. I am old, hubs is old. It makes me so sad to see this happening to us. So hard to live with, knowing our bodies will eventually fail us.
I'm just upset. Heck I can buy and sell houses and still make money, but hopefully with our sales this time, we will be set for the rest of our lives again.
Oh dear one of my cat scratches looks like it may be getting infected, better stay on top of that. Need to find some antibiotic salve tonight. That finger has 3 on it so likely why.

Oh dear one of my cat scratches looks like it may be getting infected, better stay on top of that. Need to find some antibiotic salve tonight. That finger has 3 on it so likely why. Glad you said this. Its OK to be afraid, and it is smart to be worried about how aging might go. I think you can be resilient all your life but you might have to define that differently as life plays out. I hope you choose starting today or real soon to do less than you can as training. Work to hit 80% not 100% all the time and realize it is better to accomplish something than to take yourself out physically too soon and have to adjust to what you are left with. As an example, I have to walk a minimum of a mile each day to go to work 6 days a week. There are days I really can't do it and I further hurt my knee, pull leg muscles etc. but I do so because I do not have many options nor resources. But, since I am in such bad shape and it is now summer I have to do less if I want to keep making it to work so I have income. So for the next few months I won't be buying the occasional item or three from the grocery store and arriving home even later. I will do my best to achieve the basics, failing a bit on that, but that's life ... right? When I am tired or past my limits, I ask myself what's the least I can do? And its a good Q to remind you what you really need to do versus what you want to do. Necessity not perfection. Or to put in another way, sometimes its a day to get a D on that project, not a B or A. I will say it was real fun yesterday watching my boss help me and mangle some things up at the end and show that there are times she will let a D effort be enough.

I will be glad to get through tomorrow. Sunday I'm sleeping and lazing, then Monday kicking into gear again. Hubs is leaving to come home Sunday I think so that is good.
I mowed part of the lawn he didn't as it was in front and looked awful. I would have mowed the whole thing but it was starting to get dark. DD and I had gone to the cafe in our town for dinner. It was packed and I did not know one soul in there except the owner. So need to keep in mind that is true for both hubs and I
I think Smoke is mad at me for leaving him. One minute he is loving me to pieces the next I try to move him and he gets feisty. I had a strange guy come up to buy canning jars and he was growling and really getting upset. I picked him up to put him in the house and his growls at the guy got worse. I don't know what to think. Hubs said how are you going to keep him in up there. I'm going to try to a couple of weeks till he realizes he is "home". I bet he goes berserk on the plane. I will try the butter and pills, I know he likes butter. I would hate to hear him howl for 4 hours. I'm pretty sure they don't put them in cargo in the summer. And I think that would scare him worse. If I have to let him go, I think the only humane thing for him is to put him down. I can't imagine doing that to a healthy cat, but I'm afraid he might hurt someone. Hubs has never seen him go crazy like he did at the vet. I don't want him to see it either.
Right now he hears something he doesn't like and he is on full alert. Tigger just sleeps not Smoke.

Can you put Smoke on cat sedatives or Cat Prozac in the short term. Animals do not like change, so no surprise on him acting up. How many trips have the cats taken between Seattle and Indiana in the past year?

I am also so upset over our wonderful country. I fear for us. The supreme course is setting us back decades to the time of robber barons and burning rivers. And after Joe's debate fiasco I'm even more scared. He did truly look old and not himself. They said he had a cold, maybe he was on medication, I don't know. But if the other one gets in, I think we are all doomed except the filthy rich. I am not a praying person, but God help us.
Imagine someone leading an insurrection, yes, that is what it was. If the court sides with him, and I bet they do, its all over but the crying. Again God help us as a country. Women will end up like they have in Iran. They were free in the 70's, look at them now. That will be coming to us.

Good morning, good and able invisipeeps. Welcome to Saturday. I wish you well on this fine day and hope it treats you respectfully and offers some joy. I'm waist deep in preparing for the show and art exhibit today. We'll have pieces on display in the exhibit and down the block, our tent for the show. I really hope it goes well, for us and for you in your world, too. DH told me the wind is supposed to be high today. I hope not. That would be, could be, problematic when it comes to hanging pictures. I'm just going to hope for the best. I do have some egrets: ![Egrets in the pre-dawn](https://i.imgur.com/wwGEZrS.jpeg)

Getting ready for work and hoping I can make it through my shift ... and buy some groceries on my way home body willing. My day will be a long one even though I only work a 4 hr shift. I will catch the bus roughly 45 minutes before my shift starts and if I skip the grocery store probably 45 minutes after I finish if its even on time and not canceled.
Too wordy. To b fixed afternoon? When I will get home will be up to my body after shift and when the bloody busses show up.
Too much, although it makes me sad, and I do have to grieve my dad, Moon Shadow, my lack of getting AAA to give me the money they owe me for their contractor rendering the Red Knight undriveable. The last one makes me angry, but I will slog through that after I hoop jump to get small money from dad's IRA, etc.

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'til quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
my RL more be like
When I get older with old people hair wish it wasn't now --- Will you still need me, will you still feed me (unvoiced editorial comment, not so much employer/society) Now I'm sixty-four?
<Work in progress, do not quote> Time to get to the bus stop and hope

countrygirl2, good luck with the move. I think it’s smart you’re doing this while you still can. Speaking from the perspective of the child whose father won’t admit he needs help and can’t live independently thousands of miles away from his kids and is making everything exponentially harder than it needs to be, I admire what your doing. I know it’s hard, but hopefully once you get all moved and settled, you’ll be happy with your decision. im heading home today. From the mess with my parents to my DH and his mess. He had a tooth pulled yesterday and is miserable and Monday he has to have a precancerous spot on his removed, which since this is the second one, we know how painful it will be. At this point, I think I’m actually looking forward to moving up here next summer. I’ve been joking for almost 20 years how we’re all gonna need to live in a compound so I can easily take of all 3 of them, but now I think I’m seriously, lol. It will be so much easier to be 30 minutes away instead of a 3 hour flight.

Waiting to see if the bread lady will be at the farmer's market. If not, I may skip it. I do want to get to Ollie's to look at rugs though and need to hit the grocery store for a few things. May hit up a BBQ truck too. They have the best pork belly and I could eat their cole slaw by the gallon. But they don't open until 11 and not sure if I want to hang around town until then. Then again, if I don't get my butt in gear that may be the time I get to town.
