MORNING ROLL CALL 2023.

I'm so sorry to hear you and Mary are going thru this! I have "long-covid" which while not as bad as when I had covid, has taught me a few tips I hope will assist you both:

• Forget tissues; carry an almost out of toilet paper roll instead (about 1" from the roll). usually 2 will wipe the continuing release from the nose.
• Cough drops/lozenges do not help, at all, period, exclamation point 😉 try warm salt water gargle or just bear with it; the hacking/coughing will eventually abate.
• Don't feel ashamed to wear a mask; when/if I feel feverish, I do; it's okay, really.

Dave and Mary, be sure, this too will pass.

#StaySafe

My sincerest condolences for your loss. I just had to say my final goodby to one of my furbabies as well. I know in my heart that I will be holding her again soon. Be well.

@DaveMcK ... HOORAY! Getting back to normal life must feel great! Congrats!

I’m semi back as of 5 minutes ago, between PDR app, 13 days of calling and annoying my Dr, Pharmacy, and insurance companies, all 3 med’s will be paid for, will need to pay $1.49 out of pocket vs $5,000 per month. I think that’s a win.

Still cussing but, slowly returning to normal.😎

Guess It  does pay to read the formularies of covered med’s, and pester the heck out of all.

Now, it’s time to grind some beans and. Make a pot of happiness, green mountain .

@SummerOnTheWay1 I always give you kudos because you are perky and upbeat !!  Although  how anyone can stay upbeat in Florida in August is not really understood by me 😅.

@MsStretch  Yikes you have to go through that again😰.   Hopefully all will be well and you can relax for another year or more.   They had me take diagnostic mammograms for 2 years, made me nervous.  I have been released for regular screenings thankfully.  

It is hot hot hot.  @Frozenoem probably cooler in Maine.  

@catwoman500  Did I mention my fence is made of aluminum?  Much lighter than it looks.

@DaveMcK  Hope you and Mary are enjoying yourselves now that you are well.  I keep hearing the new version of Covid is very catching but mostly mild.  

I have been lucky, no upper respiratory infections of any kind in years.   

@DaveMcK 

Hot 365 days per year about the only change is blends - expresso, Cuban, and generally black to match my soul.

@MsStretch , @DaveMcK ...I agree with @MsStretch ...I like coffee both ways. If I have leftover coffee in my mug, I'll heat it in the microwave on a chilly day or plop an ice cube in it on a hot day.

@LaDolceVita ...aluminum, huh? It looks like wrought iron! WOW! Maybe something I have to look into!

So yesterday, I went out for lunch with a friend and her husband. I was all set to have a cheat day and ordered the bacon lover’s BLT. It was described as 5 pieces of bacon, etc. Well, they may have meant 5 pounds of bacon. Yikes. Needless to say, I had to deconstruct it. I had asked for really well-done bacon, but there was some that was chewy and gross, so I pulled that out and then ate half the sandwich. Will have the second half today. I deconstructed that half when I got home yesterday. Not sure if they were planning on handing out heart attacks or what! It was very good once I got it "remade."

 Enjoy your weekend!

Might be back to normal, 36 hour work session thru the glory of Green Mountain magic beans.Hopefully the next time I grind the beans will remember to remove the SS Scoop.I was curious why the blender was grinding the beans🤬 for so long.

Getting used to new pills can be a hassleTuesday get all and approved, now that I’m mature 🤬, and a semi-delicate flower. Decalcification anyone , broke too many bones before the afib was fixed. Heart stopped beating collapsed off stoves, concrete floors, wood is better for crashing down upon.

IV’s and horse pills of calcium and magnesium coming on.

55* and foggy, feel bed calling as soon as I turn off all notifications on cellphones, work is worse than being a book but, I missed it.

@DaveMcK Have this tune from GOP debate circling in my mind, and may have a new topic circling in my mind , might appear whenever I become conscious again.Toss up btwn that and just another mass killing or wounding in AmeriKa or even Maine.

Buckle up your overcoats everyone tropical storms, hurricanes coming on both coasts, nuclear waste being dumped again from Fukushima, global warming even hitting Maine waters with algae blooms. Thought it was fun the last time I cleaned props on Polarcraft to prevent algae contamination on different lakes and drained at boat launches.Who screwed up on the ocean.

Dreadful is memory works better when deprived of sleep. Feel Billie Holliday and Lena Horne coming on to fall asleep to , versus Richard Diamond or Pirate Radio. Today is March on DC anniversary, with MLK

change is happening in more than one way, some good some not so great.

Same age as Stretch I think,  won’t be old phart until December with 🍀 luck. Just as long as my brain keeps working on most cylinders.Would enjoy my body lasting at least for awhile more.
