Somehow I have things scheduled every day this week. Today’s adventure is voice therapy for my vocal cord dysfunction that no one knows what is causing. Not working and being sick is becoming busier than working.

Heading to Detroit for the night for Paris Paloma show! I’m so excited to try out my new upright rollator. Where should we eat dinner in the downtown area?

At the waiting room for PT listening to these 2 boomer women talk about not understanding their grandkids (Gen Z) dating habits is hilarious.

It’s the horrors we are living through. Makes it so hard to do anything.

Fucking weirdo boomers. Why on earth would you come ring my doorbell in the middle of the day & then when I don’t answer come to my FRONT WINDOW & yell “Hello”??? You hear my dogs going insane. I don’t want to talk to you. No my Scamp trailer parked BEHIND MY HOUSE is not for sale.

This is a very Guinan look, just needs a cool hat.

My husband is a Free Mason & I have learned it is just a bunch of dorky social awkward guys.

Did you know Shriners are all potheads? I didn’t.

I’m now drinking homemade wine. And I didn’t eat dinner. I fear for my headache tomorrow.

These old guys are arguing about pool & drinking bourbon. I feel like I’m 28 again in some random dive bar in some city w/the pilots I was flying with that trip.

Amazing!

If anyone was wondering where an old dartboard & pool table from Brew-Stirs went I found them.

It is decorated with camels?

Eric said “Some of the guys from the lodge are getting together tonight do you want to come?” And that’s how I ended up at the private Shriner’s club in the basement of an office building in Grandview.

I used to hate when they brought deportees to my plane when I was a flight attendant. Once they had a mother and child and I cried after. I used to wish I had any way to help these people. I would just be as kind as possible because I didn’t know what else to do.

The way this sweet girl lays here with her paw on my arm and purrs is one of the best things 🥰

I looooved Otani’s karaoke in the very early 2000s when I first moved here. It was genuinely so much fun. The vibes were immaculate.

A week ago the other members of my family moved their pot smoking outside to see if it helped my new asthma. I woke up today for the 3rd day in a row with energy & no tightness in my chest!!!

OMG just sent to the Shrek obsessed niece 🤣

I am sure there are some awful Ambers out there, I can’t think of anyone with my name though right now. There is a romance novel from I think the 50s called “Forever Amber” & the titular Amber is pretty awful.

Day 4 of dog sitting the parents’ dog, Pearl. She is firmly not allowed on furniture at home, but finally today she remembered that here she is. Currently she’s excited panting so hard she’s making the bed shake 🤣

Girl you guys cannot catch a break right now!

Yeah, they take up so much space!!

Do you have any vacuum bags for space saving? They make a HUGE difference.

Ohhhh I’m so excited! I loved the first season.

Today’s weirdness at the old person eye specialist is an old man in the waiting room reading aloud to himself in a loud whisper. It is much less busy than last time at least.

I’m sorry for your loss. You gave her a wonderful life 💜
