  • Get me outta here

    It has been nice visiting Rochester over the last year, but get me outta here…Like going home is going to be any better….at least I’ll have my critters and more than 1 room to move around in…  After a pain pill in the middle of the night, he says he is feeling pretty well this… Read more

  • a happy place

    Mayo Clinic – We have spent a lot of time up here…it is a happy place and it is a sad place but most of all, I would say it is a positive place.  The efficiency with which this huge facility operates is astounding…An older gentleman (who obviously hadn’t talked to anyone for awhile) walked up… Read more

  • not for sensitive eyes….or the easily offended…

    ref my asian male…what a workout!!!  My upper body feels like I’ve worked out…He says the guy looked like Jacky Chan…he was a grinner and a laugher, very pleasant and very thankful for the opportunity to work on my back…and he doesn’t speak english….a couple of times he broke into humming while he was working on… Read more

  • The first day at Mayo

    His first test wasn’t at 0700 this morning as he first told me….0645…we went to bed last night early from pure exhaustion and were both awake by 0500.  Other than a fasting blood test, he had an EKG this morning and an MRI late morning.  I wanted to take my Land’s End coat back to… Read more

  • I’m just going to say it…..

    Holy crap….It seems this year went sooo fast.  As years go, it was not a particularly good year…but it could have been much worse, I guess.  What I mainly remember of the first few months was the ups and downs with mom and Aunt Frances..almost constant chaos and indecision..I felt  like I was on the… Read more

  • Christmas without the sisters

    I’m fried…but it is a good fried, I think.  For the first time in my adult life, I’m not dreading anything about Christmas.  It’s going to be a tough day because mom and Aunt Frances are gone…Katy says that is big…huge…Grandma sat in the corner sweet and oblivious and grinning trying to get Daisy on… Read more

  • A friendly weekend

    It’s been a great weekend…depending on fantasy football tomorrow, it might be an almost perfect weekend.  Friday night, Susie came for a visit, girltalk, wine, blue cheese on crackers with strawberry jam..mmmm  I picked Deb up this afternoon for our 2nd annual Jim McDonough Christmas concert at Hoyt Sherman.  He is an amazing musician and… Read more

  • Whew, I feel better

    From the comments I received on yesterday’s blog about my intense curiosity…I was pleased to find out that there are a lot of us crazies walking the street.  When you are face to face talking to someone, you have no idea what they are thinking about..in that little curious recess of their mind…It tickles me. … Read more

  • Almost a month

    For starters…I’ve found ebay…there are few things (at this age) quite so satisfying as seeing the stuff you are ready to give up be exchanged for cash.   I tend to have some addiction problems with stuff…kind of like a dog with a bone with lots of roast beef still attached…you can’t get it away from… Read more

  • Kind of an emotional day…First…the Ft Hood situation had a huge impact on me..please don’t think I’m lame, but I watch Army Wives and I’m very emotionally attached to it…when the General gave his press conference tonight on CNN I felt sick because Army Wives has given me an idea what it is like on… Read more
