THOSE WHO LISTEN AND THOSE WHO DON’T

It's surprisingly difficult to get doctors to stop looking at ones "long-term" health and get them to deal with the here and now. My theory is that doctors hate losing patients. Even though we all know that the end comes for us all, doctors -- for the most part -- will try with all their … Continue reading THOSE WHO LISTEN AND THOSE WHO DON’T

UPDATE!

It isn't looking good. It would appear that the tumor in my breast has spread into my bones. I've got another scan -- this one a very specific PET scan AND they can't schedule me until the 17th. I bet if I were a pitcher for the Red Sox they'd find time sooner. If one … Continue reading UPDATE!

MIDDAY UPDATE – MARILYN

This is a summary for all of you and reminder for Marilyn and me. We've just had a very productive Visiting Nurse session! Mayara is her name. Getting things done is her game. Mayara takes Marilyn's blood pressure. It's NORMAL. Mayara begins show and tell with a new, larger pill box for Marilyn to find … Continue reading MIDDAY UPDATE – MARILYN

EVERYBODY HAS (SNIFF SNIFF) A COLD

It really IS seasonal. Garry feel horrible. I'm fine-ish, but I usually run a few days (to a week) after Garry. I have enough immunity to get sick more slowly, but not enough to not get sick at all. Still cleaning up from yesterday, but we are getting there. Unitarian, circa 1835 Hugs and all … Continue reading EVERYBODY HAS (SNIFF SNIFF) A COLD

BEYOND OUR CONTROL

For reasons outside the control of the cast and crew of SERENDIPITY SEARCHING FOR INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH, the show won't be ready to roll until probably Monday. I will try to fill the gap with pictures and maybe a story or two. Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend. I think the weather is about to turn … Continue reading BEYOND OUR CONTROL

ONE OF THOSE WEEKS?

There are weeks when the accumulation of events seems to be telling you something. A few days ago, I sliced off a bit of finger while slicing food. My back hurts. My right shoulder and wrist are sore. To put a finishing touch on the week, I seared my right hand about an hour ago. … Continue reading ONE OF THOSE WEEKS?

RIDICULOUSLY BUSY

Dolls. Dolls who need a bit of love and kindness. Dolls who need clothing washed and ironed -- and ironing doll clothing is no small feet -- the iron was not designed to do such small pieces. There are dolls all over the place and until I make sufficient progress, I'm not going to be … Continue reading RIDICULOUSLY BUSY

FIXING THE LATEST WORDPRESS UPDATE

When you try to write a post, it goes into Autosave and never comes out. You can't save it. You can't get autosave to complete and if you leave, all that's left is the title. All the text and pictures are gone. But. There is a fix. WordPress's cookie is corrupt. Empty your browser's cache … Continue reading FIXING THE LATEST WORDPRESS UPDATE

PODCAST IN PROGRESS

Garry and Tom are trying to work out the technical stuff for podcasting. They've been talking about this for a while, but finally, it's beginning to happen. Getting the sound, the light, the microphone all working properly takes a bit of organization, but I think it's smoothing out. But just so you know, with a … Continue reading PODCAST IN PROGRESS

LIFE CAN GET MESSY

Right now, life is very messy. I've got anemia and it needs treatment. Garry's glaucoma seems to be acting up -- OR he's got some problem with migraines OR both are connected. The problem is, he can't see properly and that means, since I've got to get to the hospital and he has got to … Continue reading LIFE CAN GET MESSY
