Any of you remember when I first retired? Remember how I said I could only deal with handling one thing a day. One thing. Then I’m done. Yeah. That lasted. I now try to go to water aerobics 5 times a week. Two of those classes are at 8:30 a.m. And I do all of…

I’m back. For now. We’ll see if I can find a way to go back to my better schedule of postings, but who knows? Certainly not me. It’s not for lack of content. I constantly come up with stuff I “should” write about, and then I don’t. So I’m trying, the write it as soon…

Yesterday, we were at a hospital for tests (no worries, everything is fine). We were there, basically, all day.  And walking from hell and back because, of course, the tests were in the middle of the facility, the blood draw was at one end of the facility, and the NP’s office was at the whole…

Okay, in many places, the locals say, “Don’t like the weather? Wait a minute.”  Michigan is one of those places.  And while it may take more than a minute, let me tell you, Michigan weather has no problem turning on a dime and biting you on the ass. Yesterday, February 27th, the temperature got up…

A few weeks ago, a group of us took a lesson on decorating cookies with Royal Icing, a skill I have been wanting to acquire. For those who are asking, “WTF is Royal Icing?”, let me explain.  Royal Icing is a very smooth frosting/icing, that people use to decorate cakes and cookies, creating a flat…

Valentine’s came and went and Mardi Gras was over before Valentine’s Day – WTF? So my ce-ment doggo gets to skip the beads and such this year and we’re jumping right to St. Patrick’s Day. Replete with a bunch of green beer mugs around his neck (well, he got out of wearing his Mardi Gras…

I have been arguing with myself about whether or not to write this post.  But at the end of the day, WTF, why not?  This is exactly why I created this blog.  For times like these. Have you ever heard of the term “explosive diarrhea”?  If you are still reading, I salute your bravery. And…

So I (finally) got a handyman (thank you Thumbtack) to come out and look at our poor bed.  Ever since we moved, it has not been a happy bed.  It creaks and groans ominously (much like me).  The drawers (underneath) aren’t aligned properly and either stay slightly open or won’t open at all.  Someone along…

So, I’m sitting around thinking that I have nothing to post.  Did my water aerobics this bitter, bitter cold morning, came home, had Spaghettios (with meatballs) for lunch, and then slept the entire afternoon away.  Makes for a lovely life, but not much for blog posting. Then I opened my 3@3 e-mail from the Bay…

I don’t know if it’s all old people or just fat old people, but at some point, every doctor appointment includes the question “Have you fallen this year?”  And if the answer is yes, be prepared to fill in the details of when, why and any injuries. Well as of the end of December, I…
