Damn! My kitchen lights have burned out. I cannot climb the ladder to change the bulbs. What an inconvenience.

My brother Randy just called. It was nice to hear from him.

I wanted to stay one more day in hospital, but Judy had me so alarmed on Tuesday night, I needed to be home yesterday, so I did not fight the doctors about staying longer. Before I left, she started pestering me about Joshie's number in case she needed to reach me, what the hospital numbers were. My attitude was that she had a credit card on file for any vet issues, so what could go wrong. The cell phone calls began on Tuesday morning. "The cats and I played twice yesaterday." Then at 6:30 as my phone was losing energy and I had no idea where my bag and charger were, she called in as panic "I can't get the bottom lock to work and I cannot get in the apartment!" I called back and said, go out your emergency window to the fire escape and climb in my window.

"Oh, no, I'm too scared, and Mark can't do it." So I suggested one of the other neighvors on another floor. I used to climb in regularly when I locked myself out. I called back and left a message saying call a locksmith; I'll pay you back. About an hour later, she called back to say Randy, our neighbor above her and Mark, climbed down and opened the door. I didn't meed any of this crap. Yesterday morning, there was a message, Annabelle's got the sniffles and I called the vet but I can't take her today; we have to deal with Mark's Social Security and our savings.

I just wanted to get home and make certain the cats were okay.

So, before I left, I laid out four breakfasts and four dinners for them. She put the can's back in the Fancy Feast boxes, and now everything's out of order. Last night I discovered that she wasn't putting the empty cans in the recyclable bag for cans, and I had to go through the garbage, separating the cans from the paer and other garbage. Yuck!

Someday I would like to be in a production of JULIUS CAESAR and play CASEOUS.

I did play Caseous back in college.

Sorry, the cats experiment didn’t work out, Elmore. But the cats are OK and I am sure they’re glad to have you home.

Oh man, what a basket case she must be.

"Doesn't work well under pressure", you think?

Exactly the kind of neediness and hysteria you least want when someone is doing important favors for you.

I'm sorry you couldn't get your second day of hospital rest which undoubtedly would have been very beneficial, but I'm glad things were okay in the end. Sheesh.

Good morning.

Laura · « **Reply #39 on:** June 04, 2020, 08:41:26 AM »

So glad you are home, Elmore, and that the kitties are ok. They'd have been fine if you left a big bowl of dry food out for them. And the toilet seat up.

I only did part of my walk this morning. It got too hot out.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #41 on:** June 04, 2020, 09:08:42 AM »

Whew!

Friends!

My oncologist's office called to reschedule an appt. that had been supposed to take place in March. So it is happening on Tuesday - only the patient, no guests.....

So I thought WTH - and went to the hospital for my blood draw. Forgot my phone.

When I got back - 20 minutes later - I had a missed call from the doctor's office.

Called back....Danielle reminding me to get my blood drawn....and I said: "I just did!"

HAHHAHAHA.....

My new worktable lamp has arrived. I am very happy.

My new homecare nurse was by from 11:00-12:30. I have her for four sessions. Same with a physical therapist.

Had a nice walk at lunch. It’s getting hot though. Forecast for Tuesday is 105.

I have four incisions around my navel, closed with a heavy surgical glue. They look like small hornets nests stuck to my belly. Dr Aronoff says they will eventually erode away. Today I musrt book an appointment with him for next Wednesday. I have no idea when we'll learn if the lesion and tumor are benign or malignant.

~~~Vibes for the Lesion and Tumor to be Benign!!~~~

I'm physically at work. Just had to share.

Tomorrow, I'll be at my parents' for the day, but starting Monday, we're all back at work...unless something prevents someone from being able to physically come in.

The branches aren't yet open to the public. Right now, we're just having employees come in and get things ready for when they will be. First though, they'll only have curb-side service, then slowly increase accessibility until the governor opens all businesses for everything.

No, I was in yesterday and had come in a few times over the last couple of months. But now, more people are here today, getting ready for the building to open (with certain restrictions) for all of our staff to come in regularly from now on.

I'm up, I'm up - three hours of actual sleep, I think. I hope I can snooze a bit later in the day. I was up at eight, back in bed soon thereafter but could not fall asleep.

I did my little eBlast last night, and a few people responded very positively to it, so that was nice.

I also came up with a fun theme for July so I'm now thinking about songs for it and who to cast.

I finally got my energy up enough to make the bed, and I've got three cats to feed in 15 minutes. Those support pillows arrived this morning, and I think they will work out fine. I've now got them on the bed.
