The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

It was crazy today.... felt spring like and was 37 degrees....
Yeah, it was about the same temperature here when I got off work and it felt fine when I was getting gas. Once the sun set, I've been freezing. I used to do it a stupid stunt back in my karate days and do a form outside barefoot when it snowed as if I was some sort of tough guy (which it looked like from the videos which conveniently did not capture me running inside after a minute to stand in front of a heater.) Nowadays, I'm sticking to bundling up.
 
What a day! Long, busy, but productive

I know when it ends I will miss it…….and so will the boys. I think though we are all ready for a rest
am thankfilul for a rest..... then when it starts up ready to go and like it again.
Rest to recharge... essential ingredient. No substitute, no skimping.
My dog needs to be on some pain medication for his painful joints. He’s on gabapentin. And hopefully that will work all right. Otherwise he’ll be on trazodone for sleep. He doesn’t have an apparent virus disaster. Looks positive now.
So glad it's not a virus and hopefully a couple meds will reduce pain and increase quality of life... and as OM said, "you both get to sleep again" 🫂
Just got back from taking Mom to her heart doctor. No changes there thank goodness. Went over her med schedule with him and now that we have done that with both docs, I am ready to put her back on her original schedule with the two of them. She was skipping three meds and taking two she shouldn't have

This will bump up her meds to 4 times a day instead of the two times she was doing, which was easier for the house keeper to keep up with but not what she needed. Not the house keepers fault, I just was being compelled to get here and take it over is all. I didn't get here as fast as needed apparently.

That's what happens when you don't listen to the universe. Even when it's tearing down your world around you. I tend to flow from one tragedy to the next over and over before I ever stop and take a look around.
Good luck with your mother. May the universe bless you both.
I think we may have some new visitors?? @AmbrosioMonk did we ever greet you? And welcome @Croquet11
For you both...
Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.
Home defense? Whatever gun you get, put a laser on it. When they invade, put the laser on the perp. The cats will do the rest.


e/t/a: I just touched the laser and got three cats into this room from that one, and I hadn't even lit the thing.
Cats do more for home security than most realize.
Embrace the cat... and if they don't know you? They'll help - hard. :LOL:
Poor baby!!
 
Whose to determine what and who normal is? Aren't we all individuals with our own thoughts, and desires? Our own feelings and lives that vary dad to day? If we were all the same would we even be here, would we even think or feel the way we do? I think our normal is our own our normal makes us unique. And we have to be true to who we are and what we think and feel to be our own normal.
I think it should probably be me! I am the most normal person I know (and I know at least 7 people) and have the experience, wit, charm, gravitas, sang-froid, acumen and perspicacity (oh, and modesty) to make a success of this role. In fact, I shall publish my manifesto (Norman Normal's Notes On Normality) on TikTok next week so you can all read it! ;)
 
Morning all from the UK
Thanks, I won't turn down a smile... and I offer in return a smile and a welcome :)
