going on right now and was absolutely adamant that she wanted no celebration, no birthday cake, no nothing for her birthday and that we should just act like it's any other day. Adamant to the point of shouting it. So I didn't so much as get or make her a card. When we went to the garden center yesterday, I paid for her plants/flowers and told her that they were birthday plants. Got the side eye.
So pretty!Pinched a hose on my backhoe stabilizer, so I'm off to replace it. Before that though, I sat there looking out the living room window and just enjoying the view.

Lovely avatar picture!Spent too much time trying to get the Max fire 11 registered without success, and then a call to the tech dept of Amazon... but eventually I was able to fill a Big Black sack of donations from the spare room. I feel I have at least another if not 2 more bags I could fill. I've got a big cardboard box filled with Towels I no longer need. All like new, but they are no longer needed, they were ''his'' .. we had different colours for him and for me... so his are all in the box. I'm going to drop them off at the local kennels and cattery...
MY OA is killing this last week or so. Normally it's during the wet season that it plays up... but my right hand is getting to the point now where I can barely grip a pen .. and have to use one of those chunky pens to be able to write, I can see the swelling and inflammation in the last 2 otherwise unaffected fingers..... and it also make it hard to brush my hair.. I could cope with all of that if it wasn't for the excruciating pain...
). I went online and bought one on sale from Macy’s for 35.00.
Do tell! What's it called? What channel? Might I be able to get it on Hulu?I look forward to watching a ballet documentary tonight
I love the smell of crushed lantana leaves.
Really sorry about the OA. It's bad. I just have regular arthritis and not in my hands much. I wear Isotoner or copper-infused gloves if my hands ever bother me. That's usually only after driving or typing for many hours. I love my Isotoner gloves. I wish it were stylish to wear gloves at all times in public again like in the 1940s & 50s.Spent too much time trying to get the Max fire 11 registered without success, and then a call to the tech dept of Amazon... but eventually I was able to fill a Big Black sack of donations from the spare room.

you're so right. When my soon2Bex did what he did to cause the break-up of our marriage, I went into therapy for the first time in my life, the break-up was so devastating. He was a character who I would really describe in retrospect as psychopathic...... but at the time ( 2 1/2 years ago) .. the therapist would insist on describing him as a Narcissist... I kept telling her I didn't believe he was, but she always looked slightly miffed ... as if that was the only label that made sense to her.. ...
I love the image of the kids streaming in with their transistor radios. Those were cool back in the day. Had a little strap and an antenna.It's not 10am yet, and already I'm not having a good day. May I be excused from today, please?
DD has some really bad
Last night DGD came over wanting to use some of my fridge space for DD's birthday cake. Wut wo. Now what?
I was thinking about the day she was born. Whatsisname, the Father of My Children, was a grad student at the time and also worked at a local radio station. He'd go in at 6am and record the local news so that it could be played again at 7, 8 and 9, then go to class. He had finals that day, so I asked him around midnight to just drop me off at the hospital. It was very busy in maternity so there weren't any beds available, and I just sat and played cards with anybody who was available for a few minutes before being hauled off to the delivery room.
After he left the radio station, he was off to the first of his finals and when done got in the car to get to the hospital. Turned on the radio and one of the announcers declared that we'd had a baby, a boy. DD wasn't a boy. Anyway, when he got there, he asked to see the baby and was shown a baby wrapped in pink through the nursery window. Hm. Not a boy. He visited with me for a few minutes before going back for his next final and said he'd be back around 1pm.
In the meantime, I was in a room with the 17-year-old wife of a football player. All their friends streamed in and out all morning, little transistor radios glued to their ears, noisy as all get out. I was done! When the doc made his rounds, I demanded to be allowed to go home. When Whatsisname came back, I was dressed, DD was dressed, and we left. It was maybe five hours between the time she was born and the time I hit the road.
Sixty years ago.
gets flushed.
I also have the isotoner gloves. They have given me some relief when the weather is bad and the inflammation wasn't too bad.... but now the hands have moved into stage 3 ( well the right hand more to the point).. and newer bone spurs are being created it's very sore, and the gloves are just not helping..
