Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

I bought a house plant. I don't have a good record as a plant grower. I was worried about how much sun was too much for my plant. I don't have to worry, because since I bought the plant, it's been overcast and rainy. The sun hasn't come out once.
And good news on my toaster, it's working great. That's comforting. Everything else in the house has been replaced.
It's nice to have stuff that has a history with you.
 
My little plant is actually growing. Its leaves are now oriented toward the window. Usually, by this time, my plants had shed all their leaves, and shriveled up.
I see my Doc tomorrow. And my A1C is 5.6, which is super good. My appt. is for 1 PM, but I'm supposed to get there 15 minutes before. So, why don't they just say "your appt. starts at 12:45"?
The temp is hovering about freezing, and it's rainy. Every once in a while, there's snowflakes floating around. It's amazing how unwanted snow is in April. And I'm not a big fan of snow at other times of the year, either.
 

I have an old flip phone, that I keep charged up. When it gets down to 50%, I change my bed sheets. Way back when, I used to religiously change sheets whenever there was a new President. I don't fold fitted sheets. It's my parents' fault; they never taught me. Today, I looked up how to fold a fitted sheet. Folding this flap over this other flap, etc, etc., etc..............
I still don't fold my fitted sheets.
BTW, an old flip phone still will connect you with 911even if you cut service to it.
 
I never had much luck growing house plants. My ex gave me a cactus and said nobody can kill a cactus. I proved her wrong.
The plant I just got has tripled in size. This thing is growing like you wouldn't believe. The height of the leaves went from 2 inches to 8 inches.
If I type the code word "Geronimo", send machetes.
 
Every morning, I get on this tablet. A red "eye" supposedly makes sure it's me. This app isn't exactly foolproof. It "recognized" me even when I wasn't in the room. Then, on the other hand, I can stare into it, and it doesn't. My phone does that, too. The app won't let me in, it wants a password. Who remembers passwords??? And, the password you have is never the app's password. So then it's the "Forgot password" link, which either calls or emails a code -"it may take a moment to receive". Of course, the call or email never comes. Two weeks ago, I had problems getting into my pharmacy's site, and I'm still waiting for the code. Now, it recognizes me!!!!!!!
BTW, there's two inches of snow outside. The Weather God has a lousy sense of humor.

Today, I'm getting a brand new 'ologist'. I have a urologist, neurologist & podiatrist and a general practioner for the rest. Now, I'm getting a cardiologist. Apparently, there's a doctor, who decided he wants an inground pool. I have an irregular heartbeat, which I've had for the last 30-40 years.
I just had my annual "Wellness" exam. There's all these geezer questions- "Do you have garb bars in the bathroom? Are you hard of hearing? Can you see well? Can you take pills as directed?" On and on for about 90 minutes.
On the day for my Wellness exam, the staff acted like it's some kind of festival, like I'm so happy to be celebrating another annual wellness exam. Yeah, I'll celebrate with a slice of low carb, diet, low sodium, low calorie, gluten free, cake. Yummy.

I wonder if Hallmark has a card for annual wellness visit day. 😉🤭😂
 
It snowed again last night. Winter just won't go away. In the last ten days, we had 1 day of sunshine. That may be a good thing. My plant, Bertha, is growing and growing. Usually, by this time, my house plants would be shriveled up and in the trash. Last night, there was a spike poking out; this morning, it's a new leaf. If Bertha keeps growing, I'm thinking of getting some flowering plants for outside.
 
Some of the channels on my cable are out, for a couple of days, so I called today. Of course, the menu they recite to you does NOT have anything to do with your problem. No it's not billing nor signing up for more services. Finally, I got to talk to a human. Her kids were running around and yelling, she had a thick Indian accent with a Matty Matel phone. "Yougreno hevcauy mebbaytwkvnc" kind of sounds a lot like our conversation. I hate calling these automated systems, when you don't have a problem thats either "Press 1" or "Press 2"
 
There's always something. It was windy yesterday, and a tree blew down. The tree sat right on my and my neighbor's property line. He had half a tree and I had half a tree, but the lousy tree fell onto my property.
I swear there's an evil spirit, who has access to my bank account balance, and when I get a chance to save some cash, that evil spirit makes sure I can't.

Remember that old Hee Haw song, Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me? Well it fits, doesn't it... all your troubles made me think of it... part of the lyrics are "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...." Sorry to hear this about your tree. Or half tree. 🌳 Wait... if it was half the neighbor's tree, wouldn't he pay half to clean it up?

Update. Spent 90 minutes on phone talking to Singpuwalla (?) about the loss of channels. Most of the time, it was me saying "Can you repeat that?", and wondering what "alahanmomey" was. Turns out they have to replace my cable box. Couldn't believe the grief they gave me over proving my identity. You'd think a new cable box was 28 carat solid gold. They didn't need confirmation that I was me, when they cash my checks.
I'm proud of myself, I could have yelled and screamed, but I held it together. Now, I have all this yelling and screaming still in me.

And if my day couldn't get any better. I found there's a ground hog living under my deck.
 
Yesterday was not a great day. There's that fallen tree. The groundhog has got to go. They love making tunnels, and my utilities like power, as well as pipes to my well are underground. And apparently, he's made a bachelor pad under my deck. If I poisoned him, I really don't want a dead animal under my deck. I'm in a wheelchair- ain't no way I going to be able to crawl way back under my deck. I read about smells they hate.
The saga of my missing TV channels continues. I have to replace my cable box. Good news, it'll cost $50 less a month. Bad news, it'll cost me $270 to get a new, but I "own" it. I guess when I'm not watching TV, I could use it in the kitchen to rice, dice and julienne potatoes. And instead of sending out a guy to install it, I'll be the "installer". And it does not look like it's just a plug in the new one thing, but a procedure. But don't worry there's hours of videos I could watch. Then about the time I wanted to kill something, the power went off.
 
Yeah, the electricity was out for 6 hours. and when it came back on my tablet couldn't connect to my WiFi . I don't remember how I set it up 7 years ago. Jeesh, yesterday is a bit fuzzy.
I do remember I was about to do a load of wash, and the washing machine just wouldn't turn on. It took me a while to figure out there's no power. It was overcast, and I walked into my bedroom and flicked on the lights. Now I know there's no power so why flick on the lights. I'm mad at myself, and ranting about being so dumb. and as I walk into the bathroom, I flicked on the lights. DUH!!!!!
Well at least Bertha, my plant is growing. There's new leaves all over. I wouldn't be surprised if I came back home and my plant was watching wrestling on TV and having a beer.
 
I'm not great at computer stuff. My tablet still won't connect to my router. What irritates me is the computer instructions that say click on A and scroll down to B. So, I click on A and there's no damn B. There are times you feel overrun with stuff-little stuff. I took my car in for its annual inspection, and the guy moved my seat forward, and he changed the interior lights to not come on when the door is open. I changed my seat back, but I have to check the manual to see what button I click for the lights. Again , it's something I gotta do. I have a lot of "gotta dos" now.
 
Cardiologist update. I got an appointment with my new Doc- a cardiologist. And apparently, I'm in good health, because the appointment is not till July 14th. Only 88 days away.
