Got to be honest, sitting down is pretty rough when you’ve had a prostate biopsy.  Even sitting on a pillow doesn’t help much!

Had the echo cardiogram yesterday, won’t hear anything of what they found, or if they found anything until Tuesday.  Ugh.  I’m going to be a basketcase!

USA, I am so sorry.

anyone have any advice on how to break a HORRIBLE, long standing writer’s block?  🙃

So, as I’m sure many have noticed, I’ve been busy trying to work myself to death for the past five years or so.  So, in that time, I’ve worked ridiculous hours with very little time off, and often multiple shifts in a day.  As a result, I was more than a little unproductive here.
I retired the end of March, and spent the first fourish months doing nothing but sleep.  Have one final test from my doctor on November 22nd, so should be done with all that shit for a bit as well by then.
In the meantime, I am now checking all the email addresses I always did before, as I now have the time.  Am easing back into the archive repair, minor hunting, and other things I did as well.
Sorry for the absence, but, glad to be back

Life has been crazy lately, between my car being totaled, granny having a brain bleed ER managed to staunch to having a minor stroke directly in in the ER. Alot is happening all at once. 😅

Dame Maggie Smith dead at 89 according to published reports.

Love this… (from a FB post I saw).
 

Well I’m off on my holiday, leaving very early tomorrow and getting back on the 15th.  Try not to burn the place down while I’m away.

When I was young, I didn’t appreciate just how much of adult life would be taken up with trying to answer the eternal question of “Is this shirt still damp or just cold?”.  I can’t pretend to not be disappointed.

Whoever has the Ghost Chance voodoo doll right now, if they could give it a break, that would be nice. I don’t want to share details, lest my family find this site, recognize those details, and realize it’s me—right now, the last thing I need is a mass-shunning because I’m bi in a family of homophobes. But…
Woozle. Our cat, Woozle. The little bag-obsessed orange garbage-baby. Our sweet, smelly, mouthy, single-braincell-bearing fur-son. That Woozle. We just found out he’s incredibly sick, the kind of sick that creeps in without warning, may not even show, and will eventually end his life. Right now, he’s still healthy and happy enough that his quality of life isn’t in question, but that could change without much notice. It could be a few years, or a few days, or who knows how long, but my little monster is terminally ill, and I’m a fucking mess right now. We’re doing everything we can, but there’s not much we can do to begin with.
So. Yeah. Give your pets some cuddles for me. I’m probably going to go cry again because this fucking sucks.

And today’s birthday shout-out goes to the amazing Melrick. Happy Birthday, and many more!  🥧🫖

An emotional rollercoaster day:  two losses; two gains.  Cheers to a calmer day tomorrow for everyone.
 

Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f).  Woo!
I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

Unfortunately, the cat’s never going to be old enough for a beer.  He’s in end stage kidney failure, and I get to call up the vet later today 😢

And now I’ve had my colonoscopy without anesthetic.  The procedure itself wasn’t a problem at all; the hours of horrific diarrhoea before it, on the other hand, now that was nasty.

Wishing the very happiest of birthdays to my dear pippychick, with love and hugs!
