Today, I wasn’t a people person sort of person
No, instead I was extremely cranky and not nice at all.
Why?
Well, maybe because The Curmudgeon woke me, less than an hour after I went to sleep, to tell me he couldn’t move, had to pee, and needed my help.(I am NOT a nurse and never once ever had a single glimmer of desire to be one.)
I am not a pleasant person when I have less than an hour of sleep.
When I wake suddenly and go directly into a state of panic, I am not a pleasant person.
So when you block my driveway and I ask you nicely to move your vehicle and please tell your guests not to block my driveway. Yet, they go ahead and block it anyway. Yep, you got it. I AM NOT A PLEASANT PERSON!
I WILL bring Gavin out and let him pee on your front steps, sidewalk, and on the offending car’s tires. (Be glad I didn’t let him run inside your house as he wanted to do–leaving the front door wide open was an invitation to him.)
I will peez wherever da Momma tells me to pee. I luvz to pee!
A couple of good days in a row?
It’s a damned shame that I am afraid to talk about when The Curmudgeon has a few decent days in a row for fear of jinxing it.
He has so few of them.
He did manage to scare the crap out of me today by, once again, not leaving me a note when he’s off somewhere. He claims he can’t write well enough to leave one.
Looks like I need to make a special board with a magnet he can move around.
I went to:
the pharmacy
the store
to get a blood test
a doctor appointment
I think that would work. Either that or have Lucy keep him in check.
The revamping of the magnolia tree
Trimmed out more magnolia tree branches, using the loppers not the chain saw this time.
I have Lucy’s boyfriend on tap for the cutting of the heavier parts of the branches with the chain saw tomorrow.
It will be nice for our mowers when they no longer have to duck so many low branches while mowing.
My next project is getting the rest of the rocks in the yard relocated to where they won’t interfere with the mowing.
The tree in the spring.
CVS puts three MS drugs on its no longer covered list.
Avonex, Extavia, and Plegridy all three are MS drugs on CVS’s no longer covered’ list.
It’s bad enough there are so few drugs for patients with MS but to not cover three from that short list is despicable.
It’s all about profit. I say a huge profit needs to be set aside where the health and welfare of a person (or animal) is concerned. Do not price drugs out of reach or drop them from drug plans when they have been proven to be helpful.
Thank goodness some drug companies do offer help to those of us who desperately need it.
Shame on the ones that don’t.
Hey drug companies and pharmacies, go get your huge profits from vanity drugs like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis and lower the prices on drugs for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diseases like MS and COPD. Lower the prices on antibiotics, vaccines, and other life saving drugs. 
Too short to use a chain saw safely?
Almost.
I did manage to trim one honking big branch off the magnolia tree. Came close to injuring myself but close isn’t doing it. I am injury free.
I have three branches to go, but I think the largest one will need a professional with a much bigger chain saw.
Jumped out of my skin when The Curmudgeon fell upstairs a little while ago. He shook the entire house. He’s fine, but my heart is still racing.
He even woke Lucy from a sound sleep. Gavin, however, did not hear a thing. He’s still snoring.
Didn’t take her long to fall back to sleep.
Love my Kindle and MP3 player
Spent most of my afternoon seated in the car dealership waiting for my van’s inspection to be done.
So glad I had my Kindle and MP3 player with me. It helped to pass the time in a hurry. Almost wish they’d taken a bit longer.
Lucy and Gavin acted like I’d been gone a week when I got home. Got to love the pups!
The house smelled terrific since I’d started a beef roast in it before I left.
The Curmudgeon spent the time I was gone napping so he didn’t miss me a bit.
At least my van is inspected and I don’t have to worry about that for another year.
Checking in
I am de Jedi Master Pwincess Lucy and I sez dat my Momma will be back soon. Smooches and hugs to all!
Time for a break
I have too much going on at home right now and need to take a week or so off from here.
Explanations will follow later.
Be kind to yourselves.
Gavin and Lucy send their wagging tail greetings.
Jumping a train of thought
I’m not sure what to write about.
The last few days have been filled with more crap than usual.
Long, slow days of heated discussions and overblown emotions.
Front porch
The dahlias on the front porch are continuing to bloom. As are the rest of the flowers. Lucky for them that I have, so far, remembered to water them daily.
