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

Pardon my absence, but I hope ALL OF MY Beloved Spooners are doing well, taking time to "smell the flowers" and enjoy each other!

...I'm home (but barely) as my Goddess and I have been traveling to a festival, selling Her books and meeting fellow authors...
It's "demanding" on one's schedule, but I promise you, I wouldn't trade it for the world!
She is an author...how cool!!! What is her genre
 
Had to spend an hour and a half 2 days ago outside changing the ac units capacitor. Figures hottest most humid day and second floor unit dies. Thank God it was the compacitor and not the condenser. $10.94 fix... and I even remembered to de-energize the capacitor this time...lol
I suspect it will need replaced soon. We are limping it along
 
I spent two weeks in the hospital for surgery. I was confined to bed for days, not sure how many, what with morphine and fentnayl. I remember one sponge bath and was so happy when I could get out of bed and get a shower. Not being able to get up and move and having the breathing tube taken out was rough. I learned to appreciate and what they do and what they have to endure too.
I used to give bed baths but I always made a mess because I would actually use soap a d water.... everything got sudsy soap rinsed dried and lotioned.... I would do my best to wash hair too but that was tougher...
 
A quiet hello from the shadows of a booth near the back...
I’ve wandered in, drawn by the scent of stories, mischief, and midnight confessions.
No name tag, no loud entrance—just a curious soul with a taste for the unexpected.
Mind if I linger awhile?


Of course. Welcome! Maybe check out the last 20 pages or so to find out who’s who and what’s what. The rules, such as they are, are back on page one. We are not the typical lit thread. Which is good, because we are not the typical lit people.

Hair isn't an issued with me, i have a buzz cut. I was in a private room. I think because I knew a good friend of the surgeon. There was a camera that could be panned around the room remotely. I saw it moving one time and I waved. Why would they have a camera?

Well the only time we had a camera in the er was for psych patients... but they have them for critically ill people too... sometimes they will have a nurse watching a bank of monitors to have 24 hr eyes on the patients

A neighbor, years ago, was a nurse at the VA. She was attacked by a patient and she was seriously hurt. She gave up the VA and became the nurse at the company I worked for. My daughter in law, a nurse had some issues too.

Watermelon...yum yum yum
 
Awesome, thank you!



Also, feel free to enter any conversation you want to. We won't bite you. We do tease one another sometimes, but it's not mean-spirited.


Home from the weasels. The drive was okay, nothing major. Cats are good. Mail is here. Something that was promised as delivered last week and wasn't, has arrived now.


Not sure what's for supper. We'll see.
