Glad you got some snooze time !

Did you go to musical ???? Oh I hope you did and had fun !

Solid perfumes. I so wish those became a thing again. I loved those in my teens.

How’s Mum doing in PT?

Hugs !

Glad the coloring helped. I haven’t in a couple years and I don’t know why it’s been so long ????

As for cooked Turkey yes you can freeze it. I shred it and put the broth ( not gravy ) on it. Put in freezer plastic bags and freeze. Tastes just as fresh as when I first cook it.

Congrats on completing your dental work ! That’s a huge thing

I think I was spammed, there was no music at the theater or the artworks. So if it really was someplace I don’t know where it was. So I’m huddled under my blanket reading Fox Creek. And lurking on here waiting for a chance to reply.

PT really takes a lot out of mum. It’s only 30 minutes twice a week but it exhausted her. I hope it strengthens her legs though cause she’s really unsteady. She does use my old cane more but she should be using her walker.

Well that sucks !!!!

Fox creek ?? What’s it about ?

I hope it helps your Mum build up some strength.

It’s not fair to lump all Amish in one category. Each community follows the rules of their church and they can be different. I live in a rural
Area where there are LOTs of Amish folk
Who belong to different churches. One family owns an Amish market. Another does roofing. Others do farm work for the “English.” And most Amish I’ve met wouldn’t dare buy dentures. They simply brush their teeth like most of us do. They’re not all
Too Different. Pete and Rosina left their Amish order and live like we do now. They’ve been shunned from everyone they love except their youngest children and I believe the youngest graduates this year from
High school.

I found out today that my debit card quit working yesterday- though I didn't know it because I didn't try to use it. The people on the phone from my bank said they couldn't figure out why it had been turned off. But when I went to my bank's branch to get a different card they said it was because someone had reported it lost or stolen - and it wasn't me! If it's not one thing it's another.

I finally got my car back though. Looks great! I'm ultra careful when driving and parking - don't park next to cars that are parked crooked in their spot. It ended up costing twice as much as they'd quoted but it was still much less than other places had quoted. However, it looks and works great!

I watched an interesting documentary on Amazon prime called "Bill W" about the man who founded Alcoholics Anonymous. It was a feature -length show. Very interesting- especially their telling why people couldn't stop drinking on their own.

Well Steve has had a really hard time breathing today.. so much so he wasn’t able to eat much dinner. We are waiting for a medication coming from a Canadian pharmacy. I need to call them for a update on delivery.

I had to pick up one of my meds today. Bought literally a few groceries and dropped 25.00 in the tank ! Literally it’s too expensive to live

Thanks HallieBeth. You said what I meant to say and didn't. Sorry for not being clear-headed.

Fox creek is the 19th book in a series that takes place in northern Minnesota. The lead character is 1/4 Native American and in the beginning sheriff of a small community. It’s a mystery with character and heart.

Christina, that means a lot to me. Thank you. I've been twice-blessed with my 2 sisters.

The 2 of you make me giggle @Mountaindewed and @HALLIEBETH87 You're such good friends that you can disagree and still be cool with each other. In my book, that is something special.

Well, that is just plain mean about the musical @Nammu. I'm sorry


Grrr about your card @Moose72. I've had my bank account hacked 5 damned times since the late spring. New cards, every time. I'm finally going to close my account and open a new one in a different bank.

That doc sounds fascinating. For some reason I have the idea that I saw it many years ago. I have an image in my mind of an old brown book and someone talking. Who knows.

I hear you @~Christina. I'm wondering how long I can eat rice, cheese, and carrots for dinner. Gas is back up to $6/gallon. Stupid things scare me, like my pc is so old, what happens if it gets so old that no one knows how to make it run anymore? I don't know the first thing about how to use a tablet or a laptop - not that I could possibly buy one, anyway. Forget owning a *real* cell phone that's connected to WiFi. It never stops. What if, what if.

I'm sorry for rambling.

The tech dude came today and spent a long time outside doing something with the wiring, or whatever they use. He did a little bit of something in here. Hopefully the internet won't keep going down now. My computer is sooo old and slow, already.

Almost time to go to bed. Every night I'm afraid to go to bed. I think once I'm actually in bed it's okay. I just have all these fears that come along at this time of year.

Something I did realize today is that I was taking 1800 mg of Gabapentin. Then, when I was so terribly sick in August I stopped the SSRI (which did stop the severe nausea) and dropped the Gaba down to 600 because I was so afraid it was causing me to be sick (I still wonder if I had some form of covid, but didn't test in time). When I finally got better I increased the Gaba back to 1200mg. I forgot to keep going on up to 1800, which is where I'd been. So I'm going to do the increase & see if I feel less anxious. Med dude is friendly, but he's sure nothing special when it comes to medication. He just asks me what I'm taking and says "Sounds good!"

I hope everybody has a peaceful night / peaceful day, depending upon where you are.

Speaking of which, how are you @Fuzzybear?

My brother is in the hospital with an infection. My sister took him to the ER yesterday. She wrote that if I want to see him I might come soon. She also wrote that I might be disturbed coming. It's a hard choice. Hubby now doesn't think I should go, for the sake of my own well-being. If my brother truly wants me there, I will strongly consider it, but so far he hasn't expressed as much, despite me offering several times. I do feel for my sister having to be his main and almost sole support. This is not how it's supposed to be in life. Too often it is, though.

The weather where I am has been unseasonably warm. It's also not right, but does make outdoor activities nice. Yesterday we took a nice walk to a nearby river. Hubby took a lovely photo.

As I wrote the above, I heard two roosters crowing.

Today is the day my husband assigned as my name day many years ago. Name days are important in Czech Republic, originally based on saints days. Assigned, because my name isn't one on their calendar. He bought me some beautiful aged goudas from the Netherlands, a wish list item. Who would have thought a wife would be so excited about cheese?

Thats why I said in my post some communitys have the teeth rule and others don't. Not all Amish do it. If you have ever seen the show Breaking Amish there is a few episodes storyline where 2 girls are freaking out because another girl "doesn't have teeth." Her teeth were pulled for religious reasons.

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was lumping them all together.

It’s all good

@*Beth* It's the first proper showing I've been too in at least five years, courtesy of COVID and bad choices in venues. Some places seriously didn't know that Rocky Horror was audience participation oriented and tried to have people thrown out! Put a damper on the evening.

Last night, however, was a blast and exactly the loud, wild and rowdy event I'd grown to love! The costumes, the music, the loud heckling and shouting of... well... lots of things at the screen. I even appreciated the young man during intermission offering his very drunk hot take on Rocky Horror being a morality play, though I tuned him out when he wanted to keep talking through the actual show. Bit of a Brad Majors at that point, if you catch my drift.

It was a well needed evening out!

🎶Let's do the time warp again!🎶

ACK! What a blast! Ha to the drunk dork - a Brad Majors who needed a "friendly visit" from Frankie

I am off to take an embarrassing number of old prescriptions to the annual police station old prescription medicine drop-off day. We're asked not to throw it in the trash and certainly not to flush it. I won't be surprised if I have the most number of bottles there. Ugh, I hate that.

I'm doing good today. I'm glad I got all that covid crap out of my system. Also it may be too early to tell, but going down on the dose of my injection seems to be doing my moods and anxiety well. I don't seem to be having the crippling anxiety anymore. So its tough to know if it was covid or med related. Hopefully things stay calm. I'm going out of state to my hometown next week. We have been invited to go for Thanksgiving but my sister doesn't want to go because she doesn't want to travel with a 6 year old a 9 year old and a less then 2 month old. My mom won't leave them for Thanksgiving. So my mom brother and I will go next week instead to spend some time with family and do our normal shopping and eating out at our old spots. I am hoping to get my covid booster on Monday. I am sure it will be a disaster when we come back if I don't get it before we go.

Yoy may want to check about timing before the covid booster. I know the last time you had t wait 6 months from having COVID to get the shot. I'm not sure that's true for the new booster but it's wort a phone call before you spend time on getting it.

I asked the pharamcist when I was getting my flu shot on Monday and he said 2 weeks at least without any symptoms. Unless lingering tiredness is a symptom. So I guess I'll be ok. I'll ask the pharamcist I go to pick up my prescriptions what they think.

My new GP said that it is 6 months.
