Topic of the Day:  not quite the most stupidest thing I've done, but last night I got home after stopping at my sister's for a bit, then I had some dinner, then I sat in my recliner at about 8:00 p.m. and completely zonked out until about 2:30 this a.m.!  I didn't just take a little nap...I totally fell asleep!  Now, I need to go back to sleep in my bed ::)

On the plus side, it obviously was six-and-a-half hours of sleep that I needed...and I'll take the extra sleep that I'm going to get now. ;D

Have a good day, all!

I did sleep rather well last night. I had one long dream which I oly now remember in fragments:
  1. Tarzan and the jungle.
  2. Search for water.
  3. A large can of paint.
  4. Dead soap opera star.

On the health side of my life, I can sense a definite improvement. Where I was having 6-7 bathroom breaks a night I now seem to be down to 3-4, and that makes me very happy. I see my urologist on Monday, and I hope he'll take a PSA.

When my father was with Mobil Oil, we were living in Connecticut at the time. He was told he was being transferred to Texas. My mother said "no." So he had to find another job.

Two years later, all those folks who had accepted the transfer to Texas were laid off.

I also always put the same thing in the same place and have for years.

I learned the lesson the hard way MANY TIMES when I decided there was a better and more convenient place for the car keys, my tennis shoes, my wallet, and/or my glasses.  Most recently....my telephone.

We are going to a nice LOCAL CPA/Tax Consultant here in town.  My sister talked to them yesterday and we are dropping off papers today.

Recommended by our attorney.  Since he's local, I'm sure st least one person in the office went to school with one of my siblings.

His name is Kevin James - so I guess he's the King of Queens.

I, too, have a "fail safe" method of depositing the critical things -- keys, wallet, phone -- in the same places at all times. And I even recite that checklist to myself when I leave the house and when buckling up in the car.

Uh, usually.

I might be a fairly bright fellow (sometimes), but I have learned the hard way that to deviate from routine in such matters is a recipe for disaster.

When my father was with Mobil Oil, we were living in Connecticut at the time. He was told he was being transferred to Texas. My mother said "no." So he had to find another job.

Two years later, all those folks who had accepted the transfer to Texas were laid off.

Good for your mom.

I also always put the same thing in the same place and have for years.

I learned the lesson the hard way MANY TIMES when I decided there was a better and more convenient place for the car keys, my tennis shoes, my wallet, and/or my glasses.  Most recently....my telephone.

AND there are half filled bottles of water all over the house.

Sometimes it's not the things I have LOST it's the things I have FOUND.

Have you seen the movie "Signs"?  You seem well-prepared for the alien invasion of creatures that cannot stand water.

When I was getting my hair cut yesterday, my barber was all agog about a surprise his wife had revealed to him that morning.  On Saturday, she and he will drive to Florence SC to attend a Trump rally.  Yes, "the Donald" will be in South Carolina on that day and will spew his hate and bile for a couple of hours starting at 7 p.m.  Brian and his wife will be in line at 2 p.m. in order to gain entrance.   Made me want to holler.  Made me want to shout.

But enough politics from me.   :(

I do not know if Purina is having transport issues, supply issues, or bad management, but their Fancy Feast Grilled Tuna and Shrimp & Salmon have been out of stock at every pet supplier for weeks, and the tuna is the one cat food my babies all love. It's working my last nerve.

On my way home from the chiropractor the other day, I passed a yard where a sign had been posted.  It read "Cat Food Needed Badly".

Speaking of tax preparers...

The week before last I phoned the guy I've been using, Dennis, to ask a couple questions that I could not finish my end of things without. He answered them, then told me to call or email for an appointment when I had everything ready. Tuesday of last week I did so and left a message. No word from him. Last Monday I emailed, suggested that I just drop the papers off at his office and when would someone be there. Still no word. By yesterday I figured he either was deliberately avoiding me or was deeply buried -- neither was good news.

Yesterday I looked for someone else and found a preparer with EXCELLENT reviews. He actually answered the phone and said he could do my return quite soon. He's more expensive and it's further to drive, but I'd like a second opinion on ways to reduce my taxes. I have an appointment with him tomorrow.

On Tuesday the nurse at my surgeon's office told me he was submitting my Rx orders that day. I hadn't heard from the pharmacy so I phoned them this morning. They have the orders, but apparently hadn't done anything with them. One of them is a special item and takes an extra day to obtain. I'm waiting to hear whether it'll be ready for pick-up tomorrow. The surgery is on Monday and the pharmacy is closed all weekend. I don't like this last-minute drama.

Exactly. When I had my cataract surgery several years ago it took TWO WEEKS to fill 3 prescriptions. No end of fumbles. This pharmacy does not seem to be overworked or understaffed and generally gives good customer service.

Organized and good customer service is always appreciated.  I switched endocrinologist for that reason. I was originally only going, due to pressure from my OBGYN, to see the new doctor.  Basically the finale opinion was similar.  Not only did I have more confidence in the new doctor, she and her staff are super organized.  I never have to call for texts to be order, they contact me first.
