Sorry I’m Late. Traffic.

It’s Sunday already! What a week! Sorta.

Had a thoracic ultrasound last Wednesday; which turned out normal. No thrombosis, embolism, whatever the hell they were looking for. My Aorta Ain’t Bulging! But that’s good. Means I won’t suddenly bleed out into my thoracic cavity. Not that the fat would leave any room for blood to pool anyway.

We didn't hear much about this. Wonder why?Unfortunately, the veins in my legs allow backflow so I’ll have to have them fixed. Doc’s got me wearing compression socks for the next 90 days and we’ll go from there. Then she’ll schedule me for having those vein’s closed off (with glue!) and, hopefully, that’ll fix that.

Having a good ultrasound leaves me open for butt-surgery this Wednesday tho. Which I’m NOT looking forward to but will go through cause it’s the best thing for me to do. Joy. From what I’ve been reading online I’m hoping for a completely normal recovery. No one posted that they died from after surgery pain, so, I’m expecting it to be majorly uncomfortable, but not fatally so.

49459aef287c97c9And I have survived all my teeth (all  8 of them at the time) being yanked out for my dentures, my gall bladder being removed, sinus surgery, spiral tib-fib fracture, and a divorce. So I’ll survive this.

Was watching a program about “Save The Earth – Eat Bugs” and found that pretty interesting. I could do it; switch to bugs for protein. As long as they didn’t have the consistency of boiled okra I can eat pretty much anything. I know what real hunger is like. (We were pretty poor sometimes while growing up.)

So I was thinking I should open a restaurant here in Belfair. “Insecta-Sides” and specialize in bugs for dinner. Wouldn’t/couldn’t expect to make a zillion bucks or anything; but it might be fun. Not sure I need the notoriety but it still might be fun.

Went and had a pre-surgery covid-19 test today. Girl did 5 swirls of each nostril and told me that was it. I said that ain’t it. It was a 35 minute drive each way, so, do it again. She laughed and kicked me out. On the way out she said I had to “self-quarantine” until my surgery. Yeah, Sure. That’ll happen. Watch!

I don’t mean to be a Grinch however…. to those of you who are placing Christmas lights/decorations in your yards (WAY too early if I do say so!), would you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together?

Every time I come around the corner, I think it’s the police and I have a panic attack. I have to brake hard, toss my wine out the window, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat. All while trying to drive and I’m not even a good driver!

It’s just too much drama, even for Christmas.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Didn’t We Have Monday A Week Ago?

I download and watch a LOT of Science programs. Earthquakes through tsunami through ‘The Sky At Night” and, given the apparent age of the PhD’s and other experts called to inform us on so many subjects, I have only one question: Does y’alls mamas know you snuck out of the house? Y’all are so young!

I have the same problem when I go to the Navy Exchange on base. I see these Officers (and Enlisted folks, of course) and I want to ask them if their Mom’s know they’re off playing soldier?

Don’t get me wrong; if you learned enough to get your Doctorate, or you serve in the Military (in any capacity), then you have my respect and admiration. But y’all are so young!

Dry but windy day. Sunny. Dog and I dodged a couple of falling branches that could have caused a knot on my noggin if they’d have hit me. Still, gotta get out and walk a couple of times a day at least.

SWMBO had her older friends over. He sits in my recliner and watches tv while they go into her sewing room and, sew, I guess. So I spent most of the day getting my chores done and watching “The Planets” on one of my monitors. Great graphics! Zachery Quinto is okay at narrating but I do enjoy Brian Cox’s presentations. I literally could watch these programs all day.

I see where President Trump hasn’t conceded but has reportedly told his crew he’d like to run again in 2024. Cool! I was about to get bumper stickers Trump 2024 printed up.

I also saw where the CDC changed the numbers for covid-19 deaths again. Now only just over 9000 folks died of just the covid. But we shouldn’t worry about completely screwing our economy over less people than die monthly from texting and driving. Way to go!

Did y’all see where they’re coming up with covid stamps for your passports and other official papers? Soon you won’t be able to go shopping without showing your papers. Guess I’ll be losing a lot of weight. I’m not getting that vaccine until at least a year after it’s been out and the adverse side effects have been fixed. Then they’ll still have to prove to me there’s no microchip in it.
