Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

Three things.
#1. Don't ask how I did this, I fell out of a chair. As I fell, the arm of the chair really dug into my chest, and now, it hurts like hell. That was a couple of days ago , and the pain is getting better.
#2. There's a bird making loud sounds all night long. Around here, all the birds make tweet sounds, whatever this bird was sounded like the birds you hear in all those Africa movies. "oooohiiioooh." He was a persistent guy, but after the first hour, it got awfully old.

#3 Speaking of birds, I'm surrounded with them- hundreds of them. Big blue ones, tiny gray ones, some with bright green tummies. Don't know why, but they're all in the trees and chasing each other around.
Apparently, there was black smoke over the Vatican. Well, tomorrow is another chance to be chosen Pope.

Maybe you should stay off decaf coffee for a while. You can always sit on the porch and sing with your birds.
 
I'm still recovering from falling out a chair. I gave my chest a pretty good whack. I'm still sore, so I just sat and watched TV, today. I watch the "geezer channels"- they are the ones with the "adult" shows- Mattlock, Golden Girls, documentaries, etc. Of course, all the ads are for medicine. And you can't have any old disease, you must have one with a three letter name, like "ADD" (Attention Deficit Disorder). Watching those ads, I noticed everybody in them had great big grins on. Even the background dancers were showing the big old ivories. I haven't seen that much teeth since the "Osmonds" were cancelled. ( How's that for a geezer reference 🙂).

Switch to the Nature channel? Sit on the porch? Go people watching?

Sorry you fell, @fuzzybuddy . Heal quickly! 💕
 
Feeling a lot better. Yup, my old body can still heal-yeah!!!!
Yet, when people ask me what happened, it'd be nice to say I was attacked by 3 guys and I beat them off. But people do get a strange look on their faces when I admit I fell out of a padded living room chair that I was sitting in. BTW, the floor was carpeted.
After a few days of fulltime TV watching, I got up at 5 AM, all frisky and ready to go.

It happens and you are around to tell! Please be a bit more careful.
 
I got to get new neighbors. They are all out there just mowing away, and making me look bad. The deaf guy across the street is one of those lawn nuts. He has a thick green carpet type lawn. He has a cardiac arrest if one blade of grass is 1/16 of an inch higher than the rest. Sometimes he mows his lawn 2-3 times a week, I'm good for maybe once a month.
I decided I don't have a lawn, it's a nature preserve. That's in case a herd of starving caribou passes by.

It gives him something to do he get pleasure out of and you something to grump about. A win-win situation.
 
It's raining. Darn, I can't mow the lawn. My lawn is the only one in the cul de sac that wasn't mowed yesterday. I do have a riding lawn mower, but that wipes me when I use it. I've got a MD appt. on Thursday, if I'm wiped out from mowing, I won't make it. I used to feel guilty about not being able to do stuff. But I'm almost 80, so now I feel "screw 'em", I'm 80. I don't care if you're 21 and climbing mountains, try walking uphill when you're 80.

How about cutting grass on Friday?
 
Take care even if you are feeling better. I fell over a

I understand about aging and keeping up with chores. We have a neighbor who does lawn care and he mows and trims our lawn for a very reasonable price. Maybe you can check on someone doing lawn care in your area.

I'll be 80 on November 14. How about you? The only birthday that bothered me so far was hitting 50. Alas, I think that hitting 80 will also bum me out!
 
Since it seems that my goal in life is to replace everything I own with a new version, I have this master plan in my head about when I should replace what and when. My Hyundai came with "summer" tires, and are getting worn. I thought in Sept. I'd get a set of all weather tires in time for winter. But I just got a flat tire. So I moved up buying the tires now.
My desktop computer is ancient, and takes for ever to get its microchips in motion. I got a tablet in case it died on me. But that was before I got an iPhone. Now the tablet is MIA. I figured maybe later on, I'd get a new computer in the Xmas sales time. Today, you need a computer, so maybe getting a new computer now to break in before the old one commits harikiri is a better idea.
I'm amazed at how easily I move these purchases around. The only problem is the money to pay for these just doesn't seem to move around that easily.

I'll be 80 next April. My "kid" brother will be 70. I look forward to being 80. I'm going to milk it. I don't have to wait in line-I'm 80. "Officer, I wasn't speeding- I'm 80." Hell, I can go out and murder somebody. If they give me "life"- I'm 80, is that really going to matter? 🙂
 
It's raining. Darn, I won't be able to mow my yard. I have an acre + 1/3. While living in the sticks with lots of space seemed great 40 years ago, today, I'm not so sure that was a good idea. Today, I'd buy a house that was right in between a grocery store and a pharmacy, and my lawn consisted of a paved sidewalk.
I'm trying to declutter my house. I cleaned out my closet of shoes I don't wear anymore. I'm a guy, and never thought I was a clothes horse. But I had over 10+ pairs of old shoes stuffed away in my closet. I had 2 pairs of never worn "good" shoes to wear to weddings, etc. I haven't been to a wedding in 20 years.

Awwwww. No. I just got an email that my service provider will be revamping its entire email program. This is going to be loads of fun. :(

Ties and dress shirts are next!
 
I'm drained. I've had a period when I've been active, that drains my 'batteries'. And thankfully, it's going to rain. Darn, I won't be able to mow the law. I have a lot of pine trees on my lot. As they grow taller, they shed the limbs at the base of the tree, they're all over my yard, so I'll have to gather them up before I can mow. Neither the gathering nor the mowing is high on my list of fun things to do.
Now, there's violent thunderstorm warnings, with the possibility of tornadoes. With my luck, if I get sucked up and flopped down in OZ, instead of killing the Wicked Witch, I'd probably drop down into a nest of lawyers.
