The insanity with my sister continues. She is still in the hospital, but she wants out, and they want her out. Last night, apparently, they were going to send her home in a taxicab. She was unable to get out of the wheelchair and into the vehicle, so she was taken back to her hospital room. I don’t know the specifics of that event. I heard it ( Read more... )

Sadly, I have not had much contact with my eldest sister since she was taken into the hospital on September 12th. She went from the hospital to a nursing home after a few weeks, and then back to the hospital after some more weeks. Every time I tried to call her, no one would answer the phone. It seems the nursing home had her in a room with a ( Read more... )

My first cataract surgery went well, apparently. My father coming to pick me up after, that did NOT go well.

I went to the store to get a few things, including ice cream (since my father has been eating us out of house and home on that). I *told* him that I was going to get ice cream. And I did! I bought 5 containers of different types (1.5 qt each) and a box of ice cream sandwiches. That would see him through at least a week, I figured ( Read more... )

Today Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. Some people will give mom a card (or E-card) and a kiss (or a video kiss). Others will give their moms presents or do chores around the house, or cook her breakfast, or take her out to dinner. Kids in America will be on their best behavior for the day - Well, for a few hours in ( Read more... )

      I am getting ready this morning for the Kentucky Derby weekend festivities by drinking coffee and staring at Social Media posts and photos of people saying they are going to be doing this and that this weekend. Me, I will be doing exactly the same thing I am doing this morning: Drinking coffee and staring at the computer. There is my weekend ( Read more... )
