Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
The flu is serious, in 1969 I had the Hong Cong flu.
The timing is right. November/December.
Apologies for the silliness.
Here is some more: (silliness).
Then, another kind of flu is the Blue Flu.
A blue flu is a type of strike action undertaken by police officers in which a large number simultaneously use sick leave, without being sick.
If I were to become serious, I would have to explain that 3 nights ago my Dh did have an episode (gasping/unable to awaken), but included the fact that once he was awake he pretended to still be asleep, and the spasm in his stomach was not a seizure, he was holding back laughing. I asked him this morning, figuring it out 3 days later.
I have been gaslighted.
It may be too late to save my sanity.
Tweety had some spinach last night.
He is peeing and pooping like he might have the bird flu.
But this is maybe something gastrointestinal, and not serious,
not really the flu.
Maybe it does not really matter what we call anything anymore. I live with a husband who now corrects e v e r y t h i n g I say, playing the semantics game to distract from the real issue at hand. He will interrupt 2-3 words into my talking with a correction. Oh, and I can no longer safely say the word "fun" without him going into a "rant" on the base meaning of fun.
Truth, life is no longer fun and I am desperately seeking to find something that is truth. Hoping this mood will pass by soon. It is our 22nd anniversary this month.
🤣
I allow my pedantic DH one sentence correction per story - he being a grammar lover (& we both agree probably Asperger's). But any more & I shut down & stop the story.
This of course frustrates me more than him 😡.
Grammar corrections while someone is speaking is my Pet Hate #1
So here I am being grammarly intolerant! 😂. Oops!
I have had influenza & was VERY ILL. No tests for strains were available then. But now when someone has a tiny sniffle, watery eyes, or typical cold symptoms I CAN ask. , The 'flu'? Have you been diagnosed with influenza then? What strain? Oh you haven't actually got influenza? I see. Good. Coz that is a very serious illness.
I have had this exchange with the same co-worker SO many times... With a family member too.
I need to work on IGNORING their bad use of the word.. for MY sanity 😁
Since I know dH will interrupt, maybe I should just stop talking all together and avoid the fight.
things continue to be super tough. but improving.
i wish us all luck!!
bundle of joy
Someone cuts you off in traffic. Shout "F you covid!"

My mom was cremated and we had a bench dedicated to her at her favorite park. That's where I go to pay my respects.
If I could turn back time

If I could turn back time
(If I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time, ohh baby........
Dang Covid!
The morning was only 65 degrees F.
Dang Covid!
Got the time right.
Forgot the date!
Darn Covid!
Have a better night tonight, Caregivers everywhere!
FIL had his Nice Restaurant Birthday yesterday. We were a party of six, so surcharge of not just 18 percent but 3 percent more for, uh, inflation. The food was inferior to that which so’s facility serves in their “cruise ship” mentality in their Club Dining Room, which residents pay for individually.
That was about $70 in compelled gratuities for one meal outside. As opposed to the 3 bucks a day that his facility is asking, not directing, residents to donate. Up to them, entirely voluntary.
Prayers this goes well and the revolving hospital door is shutdown for you.
