They have to hold my eye lids open for drops. I am such a bad patient when it comes to my eyes.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yes and good morning OM and all who are lurking.

No longer lurking, B2! I'm a fully paid-up member of this dive bar!

 

[Greylag]

Masters in accounting....lol dabbled in engineering math formulas.

Got kicked out of maths at High School.....so I became a valuer. Within 10% is acceptable

 

[Lilianna23]

I guess Lil beat you to bed before you could catch her B2... Good morning hun.

I was asleep early-ish last night!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thursday. Then 10 days of no lifting or bending over. After that all depends on my sight with the temporary glasses until I get my final prescription.

Are you getting lens implants, B2? I got them when I had my cataract surgeries. My distance vision is very good. Now I only need readers for computer work or reading. I also wear magnifiers to do my nails.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning Wat. We are getting rain and storms all day long. Fortunately not as much as those in the path of the southern hurricane. We could use some dry weather.

We will take your rain out here! 🌧

 

[Lilianna23]

Happy Tuesday!!! Road trip day in the old truck w/o a/c. I can hardly wait. At least it'll be a tad cooler and less sunny. Kitten stays in her crate today because the windows will be open. I have my stuff to load and we'll hit it here shortly after I brush mah toofs. Insh'Allah we have fewer shenanigans on the way Back East.

I hope your trip was blessedly uneventful, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

For sure. It’s so much easier.

Power goes out, Jenny comes on!

Power restored? Jenny shots down.

One of our best spends.

An excellent expenditure!

 

[Lilianna23]

I always like those sexy disposable sunglasses they give you for that.

They are sooooo hot!

I have several pair! Sometimes I double up on them to increase my hotness level!

 

[Treeview]

Nice Ploy

 

[Lilianna23]

I’m off to work to wrestle some gators.

Be good tonyiur bad selves. Be safe, be smart and be good!!

Back feels ok this morning. Realty spasaming at times. Well, I am a spazz.

Gave blood last nite. Couldn’t find a vein at first. Second time was a charm. I’m not easy to stick.

Talk to all of yaz later!!

What are you doing for your back, W? Probably not following my prescription!

 

[Lilianna23]

So is horse ....what are you trying to say @Lilianna23 ?

Oh, nothing, G! Oh, look! Crows!

 

[Lilianna23]

My next door neighbor has a generator directly hooked up. If an emergency i can go there

I'm glad you have somewhere to go, K! We always run extension cords to both neighbors. At least they can keep their refrigerators running.

It was a saga at the time....tdk was missing and wat went on an adventure to find him. He could hear an occasional meow ....from the wall....but couldn't find the entrance point...so he put a hole in the wall where he heard the meowing..... but he wouldn't come out so we were all trying to get tdk out of the wall.......


But tdk wasn't in the wall where the hole was

He was safely lying in


The dryer. He had crawled in to the warm dryer after it had ran and the door got shut on him

He was safe and sound and now wat fixed the wall and checks the dryer for cats 4 times before he does laundry...tdk gives the dryer stink eye

At the time it was an epic saga....for that darling kitten

Hilarious story! I bet Wat was out of his mind with worry and vexation!

I tried something different this morning while sitting here on this park bench before work breathing. Normally I focus on ignoring everything around me. Today, I attempted to reply to a local in the customary platitude "fine thanks and you?" The listener would describe something akin to the mating noises of Chewbacca climaxing with a dying walrus. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step right?

Wait, what?

Chewbacca and mating and walrusses, oh my!

 

[Lilianna23]

I did so during a meeting and found myself suddenly transported to a completely different place... 'why that is unexpected', I thought and jolted back. Fortunately I got away with it, as I certainly wasn't the only one.
Felt more rested though

As long as you don't get so relaxed you fall asleep during the meeting...

Not that I know anything about it!

 

[Lilianna23]

We were on the phone with them for 30 mins. The account is still in my dads name, he’s almost 4 yrs deceased, so they wanted to get the account in my moms name, then talk to someone who could get the ball rolling on the box. Well long story short, we get disconnected, she had another appointment so we agreed we’ll put it off till today.


This is how it’s done with our system also. The problem is on modern boxes there is a MAIN and a GEN…her old box doesn’t have the Main. Just the Gen. It’s rigged to just flip the Gen but what about all the others? If I had to do it, I’d flip all off, although the directions he left just said to flip the Gen. Anyhow…

She has a couple of options for power, and as long as I don’t lose power she has a third.

It's good you're getting her taken care of, H!

 

[Lilianna23]

Think I liked this better when I read it as "troll bridges"

We have one of those, too!

May I present the Fremont Troll?

 

[Lilianna23]

Here are a couple pics.... had to downsize and we need rain BAD

Your beds look wonderful!

 

[Lilianna23]

Throat punch groin kick dislocated joints.... then an eye poke

Tell us how you REALLY feel, K!

 

[Lilianna23]

Back East. Critters are okay. I'll read the mail tomorrow. The charger crapped out partway and the phone died. Meh. It's charging happily now. Boil some macaroni and have some of this gravy on it.

Very glad you got back safely, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

I finally made it home from our meet and greet parent night. All but maybe 4 showed up. It's nice knowing 97% of my names before going into a year. I enjoy these kids. They are pretty cool.

I didn't realize that our clay shooting teacher is my friends son. He's my students dad. I hope my daughter does that when she gets older. I love that our school offers that.
I'm the most unprepared for a new year than I ever have been in 20 years of teaching. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

Long day and sore from being on my feet all day. I need to buy some really good shoes.

Good shoes are worth every penny!

 

[Lilianna23]

Hello ladies n gents!!

Hi, Cole!

 

[Lilianna23]

I qm super tired...I think I am off to bed.....xoxo

Sleep well tonight, K!

 

[Lilianna23]

I prefer a good ol' combat knife. It might not fit in the glass, however.


Having a good visit with Ethyl. She's not mad at me. TDK has settled in. Looks like we get Hurricane Debby arriving later this week. Being as we're inland, it'll be some blow and some rain.


Off to read . . . .

Stay safe, Wat! Good night!
