Hope that helps! 🙂

Oh. He’s going to use the “stolen” 2020 election as the basis of his claim that he’s owed a third term to make up for it. Just wait.

’Cause seriously, tfg needs someone to care for him — help him talk, help him walk, do his makeup and hair…the list goes on and on!

Can I say we need to “take care of him” without getting in trouble?

Definitely 🙋‍♀️

Well, he was a white guy.

The character limit here is ridiculously low. 🙄

Here’s a photo of me using the stationary recumbent bike my daughter gave me while wearing the aloha shirt that belonged to her grandmother (my late MIL), whose birthday was on April 17. For lunch, my SIL came over and we had burgers (MIL’s favorite) to honor the occasion.

It’s been a good day. ❤️

Is the Supreme Court really going to allow our democracy to crumble over semantics? Why hasn’t a response to this “interpretation” been issued and the DOJ *ordered* to request the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia? 🦗🦗🦗

We’re alternating between Midsomer Murders and Father Brown. Both do the trick!

Steeling against a deadly, capricious opponent five years ago is what prepared me to navigate our current situation.

Dig in, stock up and hang on. This wild ride is just getting started.

The past weeks have felt like the early days of the pandemic to me, punctuated by fear and anxiety over a scourge on a mission to destroy us all. My reaction has been to hunker down and make ready the best I can without knowing exactly what’s to come — just that it will be bad and unpredictable.

Belated birthday wishes!

When it’s fully charged, the display on the knee heater/massager that my daughter gave me for Christmas will never cease to amuse me. 🤭

Today being the first day of spring, naturally it is cold, raining and gloomy here. 😒

BUT, that means it was a perfect day for grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for lunch. 😋

I’ve never been able to do a cartwheel. Ever. I have long legs and a short torso, and it just never worked for me. 🤷‍♀️

It still boggles my mind that he’s labeling the protests (and yeah, occasional vandalism) of Tesla dealerships as “domestic terrorism” after calling the J6 insurrection “a day of love” and pardoning even its most violent traitors. Truly dystopian stuff. 🤯

Somebody needs to stop me from eating all of this scrumptious Irish soda bread I made this afternoon. 😋

I’m proud to stand with the Land of the Sun — believe me when I say:
There is no doubt I love my home
But Trump’s screwed the USA 🎶

🎶 There is no doubt I love my home
But Trump’s screwed the USA 🎶

There is no doubt I love my home

🎶 Would I rather be a Mexican? Eso es un muy gran sí
The culture, art, history, cuisine — they all appeal to me ⤵️

There is no doubt I love my home
But Trump’s screwed the USA 🎶

🎶 I’d rather be a Canadian, and defend the Maple Leaf
To sing “O, Canada!” at hockey games would be a great relief

I’m proud to stand with the Great White North — and believe me when I say: ⤵️

Feel free to sing along to, oh y’know, whatever tune comes to mind... 😙

🎶 I’m ashamed to be an American, which I never thought I’d say
And I won’t forgive the hateful gang that made me feel this way
What’s happened to our once great land? My apologies to the world ⤵️

Two things that make me smile: Hanging out with my daughter, and going to the mountains.

After being under general anesthesia for several hours last May for my spinal surgery (pre-op pic attached), I want to give my body a year or longer to recover.

4/4

Certain movements (especially lunge or squat) may cause pain, but won’t do more damage. Pain management is top priority.

While I am happy that the scheduling choice is up to me, with no hoops to jump through or hurdles to clear, I’m trying to put off the inevitable for at least a few months.

She gave me a cortisone shot in the right knee to reduce inflammation and provide some pain relief, but also said the knee replacement I know is coming might be sooner than later.

The right knee is bad enough for the surgery to be scheduled now, but it doesn’t have to be done immediately.

2/4

I had an orthopedic visit yesterday for my knees, which have been causing me pain off and on for about a year and a half. The news was a mixed bag.

After looking at new x-rays, the nurse practitioner said my arthritis is severe in the right knee and moderate in the left.

1/4

Olay Regenerist microsculpting serum on my face in the morning, and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Face Cream at night (I treat it like Frank’s RedHot and put that $#!t on everything). Any other budget-friendly skincare tips are appreciated! (2/2)
