What to say

 

Y and daughters sent flowers too

      So much happening every day. Forgetting to blog or work. More later.  
         Well, more certainly turned 
     As I walked Red on Harsbrg., with neighbor G, he playing with a leashed dog in its front yard, I got a cel call from sis C. Sis L fell in parking lot AGAIN and niece M took her to hospital or er, probable broken or dislocated shoulder. 
  
Text thread:


Sis LD:  Man it’s been a bad 2 weeks for us. Is Mercury in retrograde? 


ME:  It has been and it’s settled today ready to turn back tomorrow. Today is spring equinox I heard.  The mercury effects still last about two more weeks.


niece M: Love that for us

So L is waiting for a head CT and care plan for her dislocated shoulder. Also her BP is abnormally high which is expected with pain but the new heart arrhythmia she is exhibiting is worrisome. They are doing a cardiac work up. I'll update y'all as we go. 


BRO:  Well, let us know if they find anything.


Niece M:  Will do


BRO:  no I mean anything


Sis C:  I'm so thankful M is there


Niece M:  She says they won't find anything especially her heart hahaha 


BRO:  😊


Sis C;  Or brain


Niece M:  Ok now that's just mean she says she ain't no scarecrow lol


Sis C:  Sure she is more the tin man type


ME:  😀 glad her shoulder is not broken, but dislocated. May have been time to find all those other symptoms like the arrhythmia. those are easily treated generally.


Tell her to stay out of that damn parking lot😖


And thank you M for being there


Niece M:  Well we have no definitive answers at the moment but going with at the least dislocation BC her shoulder is so not where it should be 


Sis LD:  I hate parking lots myself.  They just teach up and trip you, (she broke her kneecap last month)


Niece M:  Waiting on labs and imaging results to start getting answers and a care plan 


ME:  You do have recent experience with that, D.  And yes, as I think of it. ALLAN’s accident was in a parking lot too just via a car.


Niece M:  Well all of you are grounded lol and no thanks needed. I'm glad I could get to her and be with her


ME:  Me too, M, and thanks again


Niece M:  Well that's 3 parking lots so we've had enough of that 


Sis LD: Yes, thanks Magen, 


Niece M:  😊


ME:  New family rule: all James stay out of parking lots


Niece M :  Agreed


Sis C 👍


BRO:  It’s it’s not the parking lot fault you have to pick your feet up not shuffle because that’s when you trip. Of course getting old doesn’t help.😏


ME:  oh, stop making sense 


Niece M: 😂


BRO :  All you old mfers 


Niece M: Well I think I have her talked into using the cooter scooter for the foreseeable future 😉


ME:  shall I take that as my new middle name?Oldmfer?  Kind of exclusive I’d say.


BRO:  yep.  Mine too


     The text Exchanges continue with discussion of walking devices, walking Tilly, and treatment plans including the new cardio concern But I’ll stop here.  It’s a good sample of how the Sibs communicate and express caring for each other, niece M. Included in locus Sis L.

Missed another day

   

E sent beautiful flowers to his dad

     A came home from hospital yesterday. Now we are setting up insurance claims and follow up appointments.  He seems to be recuperating OK.  Crazy how many other people we know are not well  KA had a cancer surgery today. Neighbor L has stomach problems after the kind actions of Monday. Sis D just got over her flu B. Our girl S called  around 3 AM with downed power lines to house   She handled it well, but we went into panic mode initially. 

So when is mercury out of retrograde?!!

missed a day

  

Maietta’s lot

     Viewed the car yesterday and my heart still sinks at the sight and what Allan went through. I won’t share the other photos.  I’m afraid now. 

     Greg the employee was a beast about opening the gate and charged $50 cash because it was a weekend besides being 20 minutes late to arrive and just generally rude  I still need to pick up three more items from the backseat.  Who do I complain to? When I have time. Or just sic karma on the sob. 
Maietta’s lot

Use the car yesterday and my heart still sinks at the sight and what Allan went through. I’m afraid now

Waiting game

 

MMM view to west

My message to my inquirers this morning

Ok I’m back. Surgeons are still working on his compound forearm fracture with plates. I’ve been tracking whether car insurance lapsed— it hasn’t —after talking to reporting officer. Then locate where car was towed to get tax papers eyeglasses and cell phone left in. That’s been my fun morning


 All about the cell phone for connection, contact, relationship.

Check out all the chicks in our ‘hood

 


Well, some are ducks

     The fowl escape from a house the street over, and there is actually a pocket park where they can and do wander. This is the first couple of days I’ve seen a flock stray so far from their coop.  Calso keeps four chickens, but they never get out of her yard. I’m fascinated to see them, as I am by the wild turkeys I occasionally spy at the end of our road.  If th owners don’t mind their straying, neither do I.  

  But animals in suburbia can cause conflict.  I worry about Red’s unknown therefore uncollected “deposits,” since he does un the neighborhood off leash, usually in my sight and voice or collar control.  A neighbor did complain to C yesterday about our late night chatter causing her two hounds to bark long and loud, waking the whole family.  Only thing is, too damn cold for us to talk in streets last three months and we almost never come out together at night.  I’m never out past 9:30 or 10:00 pm, so not sure what’s waking her dogs.  Anyway, I took offense.  What to make of that? Internal considering on my part?  Just laugh at it?  But here I am writing t down, holding onto a trivial matter.

     Stepping on corns, GIG would say.  
  
    The bigger offense:  still haven’t spoken to sis L since January 26.  It’s like marking time, ticking off days to see when and how excommunicado

     Emergency. A crashed the Matrix about 1:15 near library Officer informed me about 2:45?  No evidence at crash site when I drove by except down tree trunk. He was in ER getting forehead stitches when I caught up with him around 4 pm. Moved to R 407 about 11:30. In hospital 5 days

Mud season

 

10:07 am, on trail. Only going to get dirtier 
Haven’t even seen this trail in weeks

    Muddy memory?  Forgot to fill one of my prescriptions but fortunately found 2 floating around for last night and this morning in my pill packs. TYJ. It’s a pill I really worry about not taking.  Fortunately, the pharmacy had already filled it so we went and picked it up early, then Red and I went to Park where almost all the snow is gone. 

      Good webinar tonight on BT Ch 16, “The Relative Understanding of Time.”  Must ponder Time and Divine Love as reverse sides of relationship.

Loved ones

 

Good doggies playing, last night

New attitude today, says C

     Incredibly beautiful day today. 63° at 11:15 AM!!! Plus, sunshine. Red is napping after his walk with A and ball game with me. Good visit from our neighbors last night and good note from C this morning. German webinar coming up in an hour and a half with talk of reason, conscience, and morality; should be a good one.

Grate day, H2O everywhere

Water running in the streets

     RS is so full of it.  “I believe we are in WW3; a different form of war than in the past: economic destruction. Based on oil. We sent 2 real estate people to negotiate nuclear (deals).  Khomenei issued a fatau holy law 1999 that Iran cannot have nukes. So we get the opposite of what we want.  This morning in my sitting I imagined I was an Iranian woman with a child, suffering this bombing. People in Dubai are euthanizing their pets lest they be killed in attacks. Or if Iran attacks desalination plants millions will die of thirst.”

    Where does he get his so-called facts and ideas?  They prompt incomparable virtue signaling in “holders” of conscience and suffering, to which I have nothing to say, particularly because I suspect we all tend to feel fairly low-grade varieties of suffering combined with high grade imagination.  Forgive me if I’m wrong.

      Spoke to SB by phone today. She was having a frustrating day with clerks. We improved it by laughing at it.

     Neighborhood walks with Red. Great temp and sun.
     Tired from the time change .

Down by de schoolyard

 

 
Good to see kids at play and spring coming on

    Very good webinar today. DG is amazing in his analysis of the books we read.  Don’t really feel like talking tonight.  I’ve been binge watching a TV show which is not good for me, but I haven’t stopped

Good times

 

Rodanthe, 10-16-14. No I don’t know any of them.

     Not a great morning. Wasted time, very frustrated with computer crapolla.
