And one that I would care not to repeat, if possible. Not the BaldMan being in hospital as such. Been there, done that a few (too many) times. But the whole time he was in the ED was like being in a mini-hellhole. We got there on Saturday, and, as is usual in most EDs … Continue reading Well, That Was An Experience
Things are a bit topsy-turvy here at the moment. The BaldMan spiked a fever on Saturday, so with his history of infections that can get serious, the nurse practitioner he talked to from the oncology department thought it best to get him to the hospital. He's still there, but things are going well and I … Continue reading Quick Update
This is going to be a bit of a rant. Sorry, not sorry. Because this is something that just gets under my skin. We were watching our set of TV shows last week, and on two- yeah, TWO- of them, they leaned on the "mean, aggressive pit bull" trope. On one, the Good Guys were … Continue reading Why Is It Always “Pit Bulls”?
I don't particularly like February. Yes, it's the shortest month of the calendar year in number of days, but it's also the longest, at least to me. It's a chilly, dreary, gray lump of a month. It's not really winter, although we will still get some winter weather. It's definitely not spring, but there will … Continue reading Oh, February, Why Do You Last So Long?
January is almost over, with just a few days left. And then we go on into February which is my least favorite month of the year. February always seems so gloomy and unpleasant to me. Not that January was a pretty month, by far. There was a lot of gloomy weather this past month, for … Continue reading One Down, Eleven To Go
The BaldMan made a big decision this week. He is officially retired now. He originally planned to work a few more years, but life seems to have had other plans, and he decided it was time. He does have plans for keeping busy, although right now, those are pretty much trying to navigate Social Security … Continue reading Does This Mean We Have To Move To Florida?
Hey, guess what? As I am typing this on Sunday, the sun is actually out! That's a big, and welcome, change from the last while, where all we have had is clouds and rain. I hope it sticks around for a while. I have spent the week slowly, and I do mean slooowwwlllly, taking down … Continue reading January, Week 2
If you've hung out here for any length of time, you know I am not one to make a list of New Year resolutions. I think that just sets you up for failure, and I don't like failing! I mean, I fail at enough things that I figure there's no need to add to the … Continue reading New Year, New Something
Just a quick note to say that I am taking a break from And So On for the next week. I am going to enjoy the holidays, today's snow, and all the food, family, and fun the goes with this time of year. I hope your holiday season, whatever you celebrate or have celebrated, is … Continue reading Holiday Break
Welp, it's running right quickly down to Christmas Eve and Christmas, and then the beginning of the New Year. The house is mostly decorated, with just a couple more things to get set up. We got a tree last week. It's pretty, if a bit short, but it is very, very full. Hanging ornaments is … Continue reading Ho, Ho, Ho, and All That
And So On...
