Nicole @Spring2025 ,
I had my tile floors restored last week and I am having the ceiling fan in my patio replaced on Monday. I went back and forth on the floors, but I am happy with my decision to go forward.

🐈 I have RELOCATED Mister to another side of my Studio Apartment.
Lol, SMALLER accomodations but hey, I have NOT put him OUT. 🤣😂
This way I have RECLAIMED my space.
From May this year 2024 when I "inherited" him I have been CLIMBING over him while he eats/waters.
Stepped on his TAIL a few times and a LEG once. Needless to say he DEMANDED I LET HIM OUTSIDE IMMEDATELY while telling me off with tail swishing.
And NOT until I "begged" him to come back INSIDE, would he. Just GLARED at me.
My boy!!! 🤗🤗🤗

Happy Thanksgiving Nicole. They took ultrasounds on both wrists and I should get the results in five days. Funny how they are able to determine rheumatoid arthritis via your wrists. NO IT DID NOT SNOW!!!!⛄❄️ They keep threatening us with snow and not one snowflake. Guess I have to wait until Christmas. My son will be here for dinner. They put him on a stronger antibiotic and it seemed to help. I even baked pumpkin pies for the first time!!!! Glad that you are enjoying "your" cat. Isn't it nice being OWNED by a cat. 🤣 Take care.

Don't think I have lost it, but I believe even in death, people are still married.
Now it gets sticky when folks decide to get married a 2nd time. 🤔
Just my 1/2 cent. 🤗🤗🤗

GROUP DISCUSSION: Are you making MEMORIES? 🤔🤔🤔
As I sit here, suppose to be getting dressed to go to the DREADED Walmart - it suddenly occurred to me that 4 YEARS have passed since RETIRING.
Yes, EARLY retirement and thanks to COVID my "planned" return to "then" AFFORDABLE FLORIDA got cancelled.
Okay, I got that!!! Survived and so far have NOT caught COVID. 🙃🙃🙃
Then APRIL 11, 2024 rolls around and about 10am ET my only child, a daughter in FLORIDA, texts me that her and HUNDREDS just got LAID OFF.
No warning, just pack up, turn your equipment in (she was a Hybrid Engineer for Harris L3). Same company I worked for while pregnant with her. Lasted 9 years before my 2nd layoff left nowhere to transfer like lst one. Back then, you were GIVEN TIME to transfer.
TODAY - her severance pay and unemployment have RUN OUT.
So now while she does SEASONAL GIGS while Job Hunting for another Engineering job in FLORIDA (refuses to move back to Virginia where I am), her SAVINGS are dwindling. She has a mortgage and car payment. Mortgage Company has had her mortgaged PAUSED.
So either I BEGIN to figure out how I can RETURN to spending TIME in real life with her or risk the chance of dying before that happens. Yes, the tomorrow is not promised to us.
Yes, taking OUR LEMONS (her job loss, COVID) & making lemonade (memories). 🤗🤗🤗

Hi Nicole. My son is going to drive me. I will wear a mask. I am STILL trying to get my medication. Urgent Care would not fill it for me. I called the new doctor I will see in December and they forwarded a prescription for one month. Don't know why they refused the first time I asked? They called it into Walgreens and they said it would cost me $145.00!! for one months supply. Called my insurance company (I spend all my time on the phone) and after about 1/2 hr. said they would cancel the pharmacy order and send me one months supply for $48.00. That is what I am waiting on now. This appointment consists of taking ultrasounds on my wrists to confirm that I have rheumatoid arthritis. I also asked my doctor in CA to send my bloodwork. This is something he DID NOT do even though he took 44 vials of blood! I appreciate the fact that my new doctor is verifying the condition before we talk about what I would need to do to deal with the problem. I DO NOT think all this pain in my legs (which is getting worse) is connected to rheumatoid arthritis and I plan on getting answers from the doctor I will see December 17th. I truly understand what Jonibee is going through and the frustration of getting the diagnosis. I know I am old and my body is falling apart but it has been so hard dealing with the medical field here and it is wearing me out.

I really didn't find out too much from todays appt which ran ove 45 min late ..A generalization that I probably have Arthritis and that an ultra sound will be ordered for abdominal problem..plus I am waiting for a gastroeintestinal appt to be set up..In the meantime take tylenol for any pain..I don't have pneumonia, blood clot, heart problems so that's the good news ..Otherwise I'm still up in the air for a diagnosis as to what the pain is from...I am trying to be possitve in my thinking and go along with the flow...Happy Thanksgiving to All...

🤕 ANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS?
[1] Jonibee @jonibee , you probably have some for your Acid Reflux and so on.
[2] Cadee @Cadee2719 , I need to go find your post but my old brain seems to remember the 26th for you.
[3] Lisa @LisaJP6763 , I would think follow ups for your Back Surgery and the PT you mentioned.
*** MC @mc6844 , Julie @JulieT507376 and Marcy @MarcyW882921 ? ***
[4] Me, 1st MEDICARE Bone Dentisty Test on Wednesday.

I had two xrays of chest and abdomen will find out results hopefully on Tuesday on visit to PM..The Cardiologist feels that a referral to Gastreologist is next...On scripts for indigestion and queasiness...It's still here with me and I don't have a gall bladder as that was removed years ago...Very uncomfortable especially at night as you just can't seem to get comfortable..Elevate head place pillow behind back as I'm a side sleeper..During the day it's isn't as noticeable as distracted by other things ..I feel over tired from lack of sleep due to constant wakening up at night..Hopefully this will demenish or a solution will eventually present itself once the cause is known. Thank You for inquiring as to my current health situation....
