PROGRESS OR LACK THEREOF REPORT Well much to my consternation in the chicken coops apparently my remedial shot in the back was met with chuckles and derision by said backside. In other words - not effective. Just muddling through is getting old. On the plus side, my knee is doing well and the scar is past the "ick" stage. Surgeon was pleased though he should watch all that personal back patting or he will pop a rotator cuff. He referred me to his "favorite" orthopedic back surgeon who speedily set up an appointment for, wait for it, March 6, 2024! At least his name is funny Winkelpleck. I can only imagine how that type of speedy treatment works for folks truly bedridden or unmotivated. I think we may need to look a little further or maybe it's just an indication that this area is full of orthopedic challenged "older" people.
RUMP EFFECT Considering the craziness of the times one can only marvel at the lack of intelligence unleashed over the last several years prefaced of course with, if you don't like the outcome do not accept it-facts be damned. Ohio GOOP, after two solid rejections by its citizens to curtail women's rights is now trying to circumvent judicial oversight to cases brought before them related to abortion. Huh? Michigan GOOP is trying to impeach the Attorney General for indicting "confessed" fake electors for the 2020 Presidential election. 2nd huh? And oh joy this year marks the largest amount of vaccine exemptions granted. So, polio, etc. formerly eradicated, will now have a chance to regroup. Too bad for the naturally immune compromised folks who get exposed. How Christian of you'all.
For those who think the courts are not treating the ex-prez with respect how many of us would get away with threatening and name-calling of the judge FROM THE WITNESS STAND and not be thrown into jail for contempt of court. Apparently there is no respect, decorum or class anywhere in the GOOP world. This is not normal people.
IRRITAING WORDS & FUN STATEMENTS Veggies, kiddos, sus, bae to name a few that seem to be common vernacular. "Furious Ohio goop reports widespread incidents of women voting." "How do we flush an unflushable turd?" A family claiming to be financial/business geniuses apparently do not know how their business works when questioned under oath. "Old age has slowed me down but hasn't shut me up." Fun stuff.
Speaking of jeans. You know the ones that are grossly ripped apart upon purchase yet costing an arm and two legs. Do you suppose the jean factory has people assigned to create those big holes? Through wear, scissors or just a lot of "oops" moments? Aren't the wearers going to be cold and wet? And what stops them from completely ripping apart? In college it was a badge of honor to wear your frayed bell bottoms mostly because you spent your extra cash on wine and pot. Not to mention to be truly cool one's hem needed to drag on the floor. Ok - guess we were just as dumb then about abused clothing.
PERSONAL STUFF We were taken out to lunch by the daughter and grandson for my birthday and I actually, miracle, accepted a 20-minute wait time as apparently everyone on the west side chose that restaurant for the holiday. Though we did hear some mumbling about "state workers" getting the day off cluttering up things. Of course, JP was dramatically dying of hunger and his Mom and Nana didn't carry crackers-note to self. I was shamelessly willing to use my handicap sticker but a parking spot in front of the door was amazingly available. K pointed out that the advantage of us driving was to enjoy the elevated status. I keep forgetting I have the wheelie card for a couple of months, though actually most handicap spaces are already filled when I get anywhere. There's a lot of us apparently though it makes you wonder how and why we are so mobile.
One advantage of sleeping in fits and starts is that I remember a lot of dreams as I never seem to get past the REM stage as a shift in position triggers a painful wakeup call. A lot of people from my past (alive and otherwise) and strange scenarios, many focused around being late and having to use the bathroom. Some are actual full stories where I am back in school, teaching a class or working a job. I'd be fascinated rather than irritated if I actually got any restorative sleep, but then I wouldn't remember them...Peace out 💚💙💛
