Oh wow, out of the house and for fun!
I did something yesterday that I haven’t done in a very long time.
G and I went to a movie.
Actually, we went out to lunch and then to a movie. We do go out to lunch at least twice a month but it’s been ages since we’ve gone to a movie.
We went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie and had a blast. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of seeing it, make sure you sit through all of the credits, there’s a surprise at the very end.
They’ve redone the multiplex theater we usually go to (yes, we’ve not gone there in a long while.) The theater we were in only seats 61 people and the seats are so comfortable I wanted to bring them home.
Porch sitting dog
I do believe that Miss Lucy is going to be one of those great porch sitting dogs.
The other day I cleaned up and put The Curmudgeon’s mother’s old plastic garden bench on the front porch. (We’d had it in various spots in the yard.)
Yesterday, Lucy spotted the neighbor seated on the porch wall between our porches and began to bark at her. Not a mean bark, she was doing her ‘I want to go see her now’ bark.
So, I leashed her and took her out to say hi to Susan. All tail wags and happiness Lucy got to greet her friend.
Susan’s friend showed up so she went to talk to him and Lucy got tired of waiting for her to return. I showed her the bench and invited her to sit there with me. She had a great time.
“Gee, Mom. Wouldn’t the bench be great with a soft cushion on it? Like the couch?”
Yay for warm weather
To relax on the porch with a glass of wine…divine!
I love that an entire small bottle of Clover Hill chocolate cherry Chamborcin fit into one large wine glass.
Read a few chapters of a new book.

Back to his normal self
The Curmudgeon bounced back pretty well.
Lucy made sure he got plenty of exercise throwing her big, red, squeaky ball for her.
She really loved that he shared some of his grilled cheese with her.
So this happened to our day….
He had an appointment with his Neurologist. Before we left the house he seemed weak. I dropped him at the front door and went to park as usual. Come to find out, he fell by the front door and someone helped him up AND helped him go to the neurologist’s office before I got up there.
He was very weak when I got to the office. I converted his walker to transfer chair mode and wheeled him into his appointment when they called his name.
The PA took his vitals and temperature. His temperature was 101.4 and he was getting weaker by the minute.
We all decided that calling an ambulance was probably the best idea.
I drove to the hospital–beating the ambulance there.
His temperature rose to 103.6 in the ambulance.
Several hours later, in the hospital they got his fever down, ran a ton of tests, and could find…nothing.
Yep, there we were again with another fever of unknown origin. He also felt well enough that they sent him home rather than admit him.
(Darn, there went a couple days of vacation for me. 😉 )
So, he’s home.
It used to be one could actually relax
Relaxing these days is next to impossible as more and more reports come in about #45 and his family’s complete lack of morals and honesty.
“Trump’s charity foundation funneled $100,000 in donations meant for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital to the Trump Organization by using his son Eric’s charity as a cover.”
Then you have the CEO of the Mylan company.
“Nothing embodies the callous cruelty of the price-gouger than Robert Coury, the chairman of the Mylan company which owns the rights to the ubiquitous Epi-Pen. Even though EpiPens only contain about $1 of the drug epinephrine, Mylan has ratcheted up prices to $609 a box. Mylan has been called out countless times and hasn’t changed, even as revenue has skyrocketed, hitting $11 billion last year.” N.Y. Times reports.
My opinion?
New rule:
When a corporation pulls this sort of blatant act of pure greed that is harmful to the public, their rights to a patent should be pulled. The patented item should then be allowed to be produced by any drug company that wishes to produce it at a fair market price.
To Great Britain
I stand with you after the tragedy of this latest attack in London.
With me stand many other Americans.
We are ashamed of #45 and cannot apologize enough for that egomaniac’s small minded comments.
Stand strong, stand united, and be kind to each other.
Sincerely,
Me and all the others who….
DIY OMG SOS!
So many projects that he never finished or even started.
All of which he is incapable of doing now.
I look at what needs doing and my back clenches in pain.
The clearing out, the painting, the building of things, and fixing up things.
The indoor projects the outdoor projects.
The clean up, the repairs…
Some days are tiring.
Believe it or not I actually hoped a package we were expecting would come late in the day so I could blow off going anywhere.
Didn’t happen.
His package arrived before noon.
Therefore, I had to load him in the car, make a stop at the local CVS to pick up his medications, then run him out to get a haircut.
While he got the haircut I ran over to the grocery store and picked up a few items.
Once we got home I had to unload the car, put away groceries, and take Lucy out before I could sit down and take the pressure off my back.
An hour later I was cooking dinner.

Open letter to that idiot in the White House.
The state of this nation is not a game of points #45.
Real lives are at stake, not game pieces.
Ripping down legislation because ‘the black man’ (My apologies to past President Obama for such a poor statement) favored it, encouraged it, supported it, does NOT gain you points. It only proves what a bigoted, crass, and little, little man you are.
Your treatment of women can only stem from your hatred of your mother. We are not her.
Every time you strip away one of our protections you damage not only us, but yourself.
You blacken your name in the annals of history. You shame our country.
You will be known as one of the worst excuses of a “leader” in the history of mankind.
“ an effective leader is a person who does the following: Creates an inspiring vision of the future. Motivates and inspires people to engage with that vision.“
You have NO Leadership qualities what-so-ever.
You are a joke.
A dismal, pathetic, joke.
I hope they blow their hands off …
Fireworks.
Hate them!
Not the professional displays mind you, I hate the idiots that set them off in the streets at all hours of the night and day.
Poor Lucy spent the night hiding in her crate. Idiots!
If I were to open a Twitter account…
If I were to open a Twitter account my main goal would be to have the #Twitiot block me.
I haven’t opened one. Yet.
However, if the #Cheetotwerp stays in office much longer, I will have to do it.
