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.
Dd and I were not scared about the BP drop and low K but concerned that it get handled properly. It doesn't take rocket science for them to keep an eye on it and take the necessary measures. She saw the oncologist yesterday and he is very pleased with her progress but concerned about the effects of the chemo on her so talked about reducing her chemo sessions by one. That doesn't impress me as I know the after effects are manageable and the chemo is important in eradicating the cancer. But I will be very careful what I say to dd. 🤐
Sad today as F, the man whose farm R manages, died from covid yesterday. he had had surgery (successfully) for a spinal issue that was affecting his mobility and shortly after got covid while in hospital, but his doctor was not concerned as it was a light case. He was recovering nicely from the surgery, doing rehab and they were talking about him going back to the farm 2 days ago. Then he had some dehydration so they kept him in for that, and the next day he suffered major organ failure and passed last night. He was double vaccinated and had a booster. It's rather shocking to see how quickly he went down. He did have diabetes and high BP, both treated, but no other health issues. He was 84. This means a huge change for R as the farming operation, which was what he managed, will be wound down. F's son has inherited it all and he is a lawyer with no interest in the farm as such. I worry about all the farm cats and what will happen to them. 🐱🐱🐱. I suppose they will be left to go completely feral. Some of them essentially are anyway
A friend on fb who is careful and has been vaccinated, got covid this week and has been quite sick, but is getting better. The risks are not over yet by any means.
Good Good Friday ✝ and Happy Easter Weekend.🐇🐣🐰
When he first contacted me, he apologized, said he didn't remember doing the damage (not sure I believe that but it doesn't matter), said he was also sure it was him based on my scene investigation work, ha ha. I had measured his hitch height, my impact height, etc. And presented that to him in the note. I explained why I knew it was him, and kept the tone very friendly. Anywho... it worked. Yay.
Oh, now I get it! 😂🤣

Hope everyone's having a decent week. I've had an interesting week with two major school assignments due the same day. My stress levels did the usual redlining. I'd like to say I'm used to it but it's always difficult with this much workload.
Also, a neighbor who I don't know backed into my car's bumper, while it was parallel parked on my street, and put a hole right through it from his trailer hitch. It's a long story that didn't start well, as he didn't leave a note and I only found him through some detective work. I had absolutely no way to hold him accountable through any kind of incident report after the fact, etc. I tried. Even though I was irate at first, I got over it and accepted that there was only one way to get any kind of payment for damages -- "You catch more flies with honey..." So I left a friendly note on his van. The nice note worked and he's agreed to be responsible for the damage. I couldn't have hoped for a better resolution to a bad situation. 😌
These are my new guiding words.
She is going to Edmonton tomorrow for a visit with her oncologist and some tests. Trusting all will be good there. Feeling a little stress over it all but relief too.
Dear Lord, please bless and keep Golden's daughter in your loving care and restore her to good health. In Jesus Heavenly Name. Amen!
I will keep you all in my prayers.
Just a thought, I always fed overripe bananas to the little ones to stop diarrhea, I wonder if it could benefit her. High in potassium too.
Llama, the lake is Pushaw Pond, north of Bangor, Maine. It's very quiet on the cove where I live. The other side is more populated and has a public beach.
Yes, I hope it's not a preview of my future. Ye Gads!
My love life in dreams is totally random but entertaining. Sometimes the object of my affection is a made-up character, sometimes it's a friend who I'm definitely not attracted to. Dreams are funny that way. I agree with other posters who've said in the past that ambien causes weird stress dreams, and so unfortunately that's common for me now since I take it most nights. Stress dreams for me are always some interpersonal conflict, which I've read is a common theme for women's nightmares -- family conflict, negative emotions. I don't have nightmares or stress dreams about getting attacked, I dream about not getting along with people. Weird brain stuff.
I don't think any of it means anything but I'd be curious what a psychologist who uses dream analysis techniques would say. Maybe, "Get off the ambien, then we'll talk." lol
The office building isn't in a city I am familiar with, but I find myself walking the same back alleys trying to find my way back to my hotel. Usually I can't find my car, either.
Hope dreams don't represent our future !!
