It’s a long one. Sorry. Kind of. But a fat old lady’s gotta vent, ya know. I’m trying. Really trying hard, to get my knee surgery scheduled. The prerequisites seemed deceptively simple. 1) Get a bunch of blood work done; 2) Schedule MRI; 3) Get clearance from my oncologist/hematologist; and 4) Get clearance from my…
As you may remember, our whole neighborhood is having storm drains installed by the Township. We are doing this because some people have bad flooding problems (we do not, but it was everyone or no one with this project, and it won’t help anyone’s property values to have the Okefenokee Swamp bordering our neighborhood). We…
As stated before, I do appreciate and respect healthcare professionals. But sometimes … This week was sometimes. Third. At least this one didn’t threaten anyone’s life, per se; although the pharmacy employee at Walgreens did have a near death experience, she just didn’t know it. Okay. It’s that time of year. Time for old farts…
As stated before, I do appreciate and respect healthcare professionals. But sometimes … This week was sometimes. Second. My darling and much loved Cousin has been having some issues, much the same as I faced some years ago – where, despite my advanced age, I was having bleeding. My gynecologist first tried a D&C and…
I do appreciate and respect healthcare professionals. But sometimes … This week was sometimes. First. In preparation for my knee surgery, I need to get an MRI. (I also had to have a ton of bloodwork done – 6 vials of blood later and that’s checked off the list.) I was told this on May…
How do you celebrate your birthday? I’m getting a mammogram. Yippee! I wanted something special to put on my boobs for my appointment, but sadly it didn’t occur to me that you can get such things on Amazon and (even more creative, of course) Etsy! Although, I couldn’t find exactly what I want. I WANTED…
I don’t have much on my bucket list. If an opportunity comes up, great; but I don’t yearn for it. Well, except for certain shows I’d love to do – but I have no control over that; but there was one thing I really wanted to do – sing with a big band – and…
Riding home with my husband. Me: I should have been a stand up comedian. Him: Well sure, except for the standing part. Smartass.
For awhile, when I’d go to bed at around 1 or 2 a.m., I could look out the bedroom window and see deer cavorting in the neighbor’s yard (or sometimes, even our yard); but I haven’t seen them for months. Seems they changed their schedule. My husband gets up earlier than me, and has seen…
I’ve been going to the YMCA Saginaw pool for water aerobics for about 2 years now. My first visit there, I used the shallow pool and pretty much hated it. The water only went up to my waist (at the deepest part) and the water was warm – almost hot. Made for a very sweaty…
