Good morning.

Jeanne · « **Reply #31 on:** May 13, 2017, 10:45:02 AM »

I seldom recall my dreams, but I had a dream this morning, just before waking, about my dad going into a nursing home. As soon as I woke up I realized that tomorrow is the anniversary of his passing. sigh. It doesn't usually hit me this hard. I think sometimes we just need to take time to feel the sadness. It'll be a quiet day.

Good morning and afternoon, all.

What a chilly wet day it is. I've spent the morning shamelessly basking in warmth and thanking my lucky stars that I'm not out there myself.

According to my clock, The Golden Apple has just begun. I trust DRs vixmom and Elmore and Ben are being swept up in some beautiful music as we speak.

As much as I would have loved it, I made the right decision in staying home and getting well. I'm up and feeling better for the first time in the past week -- but for now, being "up" means I've made my way to the recliner.

My blood sugar has dropped from 183 yesterday morning to 165 today. My goal is 125.

Congratulations on such a great start, DR Elmore!

I'm up, I'm up - damn alarm didn't go off so I'm very late and must leave in ten minutes to get where I'm going on time.

Suffering an allergy attack today. Ugh. Nose is a faucet.

Watching the Criterion edition of Multiple Maniacs. Somehow, Criterion and John Waters are an odd combination, IMO. But the movie looks great in all its blasphemous-ness.

Be gentle with yourself DR Jeanne.

That's great, Larry!

Larry, you've made excellent progress! You should be very pleased.

I just got off the phone with Paypal. My Paypal account number is embedded in a website I often use. When I tried to make a charge last week, it wouldn't take it, but the site was having lots of problems and I attributed it to that. Today I was told that Paypal wouldn't authorize the charge. I checked my account online, then phoned. I learned that a merchant reported suspicious activity on my card last month, Paypal then closed the account, and mailed me a new card. But not only did I not receive the new card, I had neither email nor letter letting me know what happened. I am not impressed. I have other gripes with Paypal as well and may just close the new account.

It would be easier to get over my jet lag if is wasn't so damp and wet here. I cannot afford to have a cold right now. I think a full Benadryl is called for tonight.

Jane · « **Reply #47 on:** May 13, 2017, 04:29:02 PM »

DR Jeanne I am shocked that Paypal did not contact you. I hope they have canceled the missing card even if you never activated it.

HA!

I have returned home - much the worse for wear. My surgery turned out to be much more serious and complicated than first thought. I was under the knife for almost 5 hours.....I know have a colostomy bag and half a colon.

They think they got most of the cancer, but I will have both chemo and radiation after I am built up for about six weeks. We shall see.

I will be around....not much.....but around. Thanks for all the vibes that I am sure are posted in the replies I haven't read.....I shall heed them at once.

George · « **Reply #49 on:** May 13, 2017, 04:29:46 PM »

Well, I've been lazing at home having done nothing that I should've done (laundry, showering), but now I need to get going. I'm first going to my parents' house to finish off the spaghetti that my mom made for yesterday's family dinner because she doesn't think that it should be frozen again. She made a lot of it, then froze it for yesterday, and this is what's left of the unfrozen batch. Then, I'm ushering again tonight.

Be back later!

I was sorry to hear about the ransomware attacks in the UK and other countries. I will say that I am not aware of a single company that really takes this seriously and has measures in place to counter it. Unfortunately, it falls into the "it may never happen" category for many people.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

They say that they have. Yes, I was quite miffed.
