Still can't sleep....

I had a vacation and came back to the sane bullshit I had before I left.... worse at work.... I am at the end of my fucking rope

I wish people would just stop using me as an emotional crash test dummy...

As soon as my parents are no longer on this earth... I am selling my house, throwing away my phone, and moving away..... I am not kidding

Don't let them. Just "grey rock" them!

I think we all came like that @Lilianna23 and now take from it what we choose suits us as individuals.

Well said, G!

I have been quiet as it’s been a sort of busy week. Had a colonoscopy screening which is not the best 24 hours of my life. All the usual concerns about it but fortunately all seems okay. Yesterday I took time out for me and went fishing to switch off. It’s another busy week ahead with my mums 90th birthday so a trip there Wednesday. In the meantime it’s jobs around the house and garden.

I'm glad your procedure went well, G. It's a right of passage for us olds!

Happy birthday to your Mum!

I'm a touch freaked out at the moment... looking at a worm that's as big as a freaking snake, as it slithers across our patio....

It's not a worm, Boat! It IS a snake!

If you feel comfortable doing so, just stay here and hang out with us. It's a judgment-free zone.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

Mornin all. Traveling to Nork (Jersey speak for Newark) to pick up my friend, then off to reading and low grade mayhem.

Have fun!

I had a ginormous polyp so have to have another in 3 years.... the prep was a thing of nightmares.... just the taste... revolting

The worst part of the procedure!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had 7 removed. . My three yr expired last Dec…I’m going to schedule next vacation…

See that you do...

 

[Lilianna23]

I have to have one every year as I always have polyps.

My condolences! Just the thought of doing that prep yearly!

 

[Lilianna23]

Given my bedtime, I'm up way too early
Let's see what you early birds are up to today...

Does that offer extend to other people and... stuff?

Never heard of them until recently.
Horrifying

The way I see it - with every polyp I am beating cancer. Sure, the prep sucks. But then I get to give cancer the bird? Big win in my book. But then there's just so much cancer in my family history.

Doesn't it just?

I've been on the 1 year plan before. I call it the FUC Plan. F U Cancer

sorry @Wat_Tyler. I know you've been working really hard to make that happen. Don't give up. Temporary setback. You're so close!

And now I think it's time for a mid-morning snooze...

That "worm" is the stuff of nightmares!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sounds like a relaxing groove
I've a sibling who likes that group.
I could chill for a while but unless they're the background to our more important conversation, I'd want to change to music after about 3 songs.

Hoping you get good news!
It must be the Year of the Colonoscopy.

Not quite the year of the colonoscopy but I couldn't resist!

I'm sure many of you could! Remember, I'm an old woman!

You’re younger than me young lady!

 

[Oldermom935]

Good to hear from you! Is this for work or fun?

112 to 114 degrees during the day with a low of 90. Definitely work....lol

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

She destroyed me again yesterday! As usual. But! She's started taking me over to the "big kids" section of the gym! I do everything she asks of me. It's not pretty and it's not quick but I can see that I'm making progress. Our main focus is balance and strength.

The other day when I was grumbling, she told me about a client of hers who is 92! And uses oxygen! Well, I just had to shut up after that! I want to be that lady!

I want to live that long with my mind sharp.

 

[Oldermom935]

Morning everyone!

Lime popsicles save me. The prep wasn’t as bad as earlier ones and I wish I knew about using straws that avoids the taste buds.

Good morning all. I found a great old dog sitter. She is a freshman in college whose mother is a widow in our Meetup group. She and old dog get along great.

Even though, when I return home he wants to play which means he is a happy old dog.

Forecast is for some rain and then later this week more smoke from the wildfires.

@Spongo Please stop sending me dm's. Since I didn't reply to the first one you really didn't have to send the second one. Enjoy ignore.
