From A Wide Spot In The Road

I could not handle a job on Amazon, neither mentally or physically. Probably couldn't when I was much, much younger.
But of course, it would never have been my choice of a job. It is not in me to be micro-managed.
 

Thanks, @Meanderer, exactly. You work for Amazon you've got to hustle, for all your shift. There
Is a supervisor walking somewhere behind you telling you where you should be pulling your orders
And how many minutes and seconds you are behind. The reason Amazon's turn-over is so outrageous.

Don't know when I'll get to use my camera. I've been so light headed and unstable on my feet when I'm standing. I fell the other night and almost fell again this morning. I've been clear headed six days this month. The other days I have been light headed and unsteady on my feet. I may not be posting for a while.

Drifter, how have you been feeling lately? I hope you're not still light headed.

If you haven't seen the doctor , please do so if you're still feeling off!

My friend's husband felt dizzy a lot and also fell. Turns out, he had some kind of tiny protein granules in his middle ear.

He began extreme, daily facial exercises while laying on the bed with his ear turned toward the floor.

After about a week of this, the granules just fell out and never bothered him again!

RR, my doctor has been involved. I am being treated for a staph infection I have apparently
had for several years and didn't know what it was, didn't mention any problem to medical
staff.

Light-headedness has abruptly stopped. Infection is in nose and it is much better. I'm taking medications for the Staph.

Except for being somewhat energyless, I am doing fine. Thanks for inquiring.

Well, I'm relieved to know they know what it was and you're on the mend! Thanks for letting me know.

You'll regain energy after awhile. Have a nice strong cup of coffee.

How's the harmonica?
:coffee:
 
I play the harmonica daily when I can to exercise the lungs. And I enjoy playing
now that I can play some with musicians and play different kinds of music.

I have accepted the harmonica will be a companion which hopefully to some extent
counter the COPD in my lungs. I feel it helps me breath both in and out.

And if not, playing the harmonica makes me feel good, both physically and mentally
when I'm up to to snuff. Hope your world is turning as you like. @RadishRose.

The truth being, you'd see just how short-winded I get,
merely playing a harmonica, and you'd know I could
never be really good because I don't have sufficient
oxygen in my lungs to sustain a note after I've played
a short while.

That's okay, but it's nothing to writehome about.


When I've played, I played with my son who put himself
through college p.laying in bands and even after he started
teaching, had a side gig as studio musician. Along with a
couple other musicians, I played at private parties with them.

As I recall, you have a quite talented and intelligent family. Will you be getting together at Christmas, or some of you?

Have you tried looking up Intsa Cart for grocery delivery? Many stores don't want to do their own delivery, but employ a 3rd party service like Insta Cart. I forgot where in OK you live, or I'd look it up.

Is your camera working any better? I know, I ask too many questions. :oops:
Stay well.
 
The generation or two that follows me seems to have some talent. I don't know they are any more talented
than any other individual their own age. I do have a grandson who seems to exhibit some talent. At thirty
years old he has taken off two years from any work while he decides what he wants to do next. And he is helping
build a church and traveling some. I seem to be the only dumb bunny in the link.

I have not tried insta-link. Don't think I knew about them but may have. I'll check them out. I live in Norman,
Oklahoma and I am almost prepared to say that my neighborhood in Norman has the worst mail service of
any place I have ever lived, and I have lived in numerous places.

So far as Christmas is concerned, We may go out to eat. My daughter and her youngest and his family are
coming to Norman this weekend, on the twentieth and stay until Sunday afternoon, from Austin. We will take
Christmas with my son and his family and so there will not be a lot of cleanup, I'd prefer to go out for
Christmas dinner.

Insta cart operates in Oklahoma City but not in Norman.

Questions are the way we find out what we want to know in an open and honest conversation. Merry Christmas to you and yours.B56BE341-3270-48C5-91CD-0A4944F0D298_1_201_a.jpeg
My camera is working fine. The operator could use a little schooling.

There is a cacti in a vase outside my front door. it is a beautiful cactus in my opinion but it has
an artificial flower in with it which is not attractive. I have wanted to photograph it but have not felt up to moving the plant and rearranging it to a better advantage. After the holiday I want to do just that. I want to try to make a good picture.
 
@Meanderer, Daughter-in -law brought it from the south of Italy, Potenza, Italy, where she grew up.
The house, the room, is her doings. Son and DIL fixed up a fantastic old house near the campus.
She has so many good tastes. Her decorations are always surprising and tasteful

Maybe you could photograph the arrangement outside, using the natural light, even though it is in a vase?

Thanks for the link, @Meanderer, an interesting article and some fascinating photos.
