What The Hell Was That!?

Posted on by

Sent a post-by-email which didn’t get published for DAYS afterwards then get multiple messages that it had been posted *90* freakin’ times. Which I found when I logged in. So, luckily, I had to use the bulk-delete function. First time for that.

So, I either need to NOT post by e-mail or figure out what the Hell happened. Which is what I’ll probably try first. After I delete 90 copies of the graphic I uploaded with the post.

SSDD for the last week around here. Getting colder and colder and, today, it finally really snowed. After dark though, of course.

Ah, well.

Today was a “I Wouldn’t Trust That Fart!” Day

Posted on by

But we really don’t want to go there!

Had a wind Tuesday night into Wednesday. Lost power about 0030
until 0715. I knew this when I woke up having trouble getting a
breath and noticed my CPAP was off. And the house was completely
dark. (Surprising how dark it was even though it’s darker out here
“in the country” than nearer town.)

Not that I set an alarm clock or anything, but I slept in until
0710 (what the Hell is wrong with me!?), got up and was in the
kitchen staring at the coffee pot and said “I’d really like some
coffee.” and, BOOM, power came back on. I hit that ON button with
speed and precision! Ah, that hit the spot.

Half Our Backyard River

Our backyard river is back and higher/wetter than usual. The
back-40 is damned near drowned. We lost two trees (that were
pretty dead anyway, but still). All my spare antenna parts blew
off where I had them stored above the planters. Otherwise, not
really any damage.

Y'all Got What You Voted For.

Bought me a small wok and am learning to use it. YouTube has a
LOT of fried rice videos! I’ve been wanting some decent fried rice
since the guy at Safeway (who made some good fried rice!) quit.
And I like to cook. (Wanted to be a chef way back when.) There’s
got to be more I can do with a wok than bacon and eggs mixed into
obrien’s for breakfast!

I see that AOC wants to ‘rein in’ the “free” press. Hey, y’all,
welcome to our world! I’d just love to see our “News”
organizations subjected to the same censorship as we
Conservatives. Think they’d wise up? Naw. Reporters are the lowest
scum on earth and can’t learn.

Well, I *AM* Getting Better. Healing, That Is.

Posted on by

Schtuff-0085bWhich is good. I’ve gotten to the “itchy” stage of the healing process. Which may not sound like a big deal to you, but, when that itch wakes you up at zero-dark-thirty and the non-ignorable itch is up your butt, you appreciate being able to scratch when required in a whole new way.

But, be warned, your spouse/significant other WILL look at you strangely. And ask if you need help. Maybe.

Decided that I *need* to lose weight. About 50 lbs and I can get off the cpap and (probably) the blood pressure meds. But I don’t want to get caught up in one of those “eat right and exercise” scams.

Otherwise, SSDD around here. We’re moving into the “wet” season so it’s been darker (and rainier) the past several days. Doesn’t do my solar much good. Supposed to get around 3 inches between now and Sunday evening. (And it’s supposed to rain too! (Couldn’t resist.)) It is wet out there. Back 40 is getting flooded.

Our Wx At The Moment

Anywho, nothing going on except it’s raining cats and dogs out right now. Got dark about 3 hours ago. Think I’ll find a movie. Or get back into my book. Dead or Alive by Clancey.

Jeez, I hate Winter.

My Butt Hurts.

Posted on by

Had my surgery last Wednesday afternoon. They took 1 large and 2 small roids. I didn’t notice. Then.

That night I tried to kill myself with GERD a couple of times. Not on purpose! The first time it felt like I put my face in a fire and breathed in. My ears to my upper chest burned! And I’m still congested from that here 3 days later.

We won’t mention how it feels to poop. No, we won’t mention that.

So, recovering. Some pain but no where near what one would expect. Which is good.

Oh, turns out Oxycontin completely fucks me up. So I’m sticking with Gabapentin and Tylenol. And Tucks pads. Tucks pads are cool. So cool.
