Blissfully ignorant

Reading files for my vet, and one client prefers to be "blissfully ignorant" of what is going on, as she won't be able to do much about things.

While this is not a great way to handle world events, I can understand how it could work for personal situations.

Blissfully ignorant would be preferred to inner pain and turmoil. Even when parts of life are heart breaking, there are still happier things on which to focus. We just have to push on, right?

Lost another one

Just went through the news screens on the community map. Another friend from my Readers Theater days is gone. It shouldn’t comes as a surprise since the average age her is 85. He was a nice man and still remembered me when we would pass in the hall.

Tell your people you love them. We never know when it might be our last time with friends and family.

It comes for us all.

Still, this brought me to tears.

Death wanted to touch, but didn’t want to kill.

A Murder Between Friends

This is the first time I took advantage of a movie offered for free through AARP. It was called A Murder Between Friends, and Joan Collin’s was the star. She still knows how to wear beautiful clothes, and I enjoyed her portrayal of a true crime host of a TV show. The story was pretty cheesy, but the identity of the killer was hard to determine. Not a bad way to spend a few hours on a Thursday night!

I might check out future offerings, as they offer a lot of things for adult viewers.

One of those days

As promised a few weeks ago, repairs to hall floors have reached my hall. It sounds like the seven dwarves working in the mines while a woodpecker adds tapping sounds.

Next, I opened Facebook and found a slew of birthday greetings. I know I’ve slept a lot recently, but it can’t be December! I spent almost an hour trying to change it, but it’s pale grey, so Facebook said I can’t change it yet. Finally went to another site, changed it easily there, and it changed on Facebook, too. A few folks put a positive spin on it and said I get to celebrate twice this year.

So, two things out of the ordinary have occurred today. What will the third event be?

The past few days have been bizarre. I have been unable to wake up. Archie and I have both missed our medications, and that certainly doesn’t help. Hoping if I get all of my meds again for a few days, I’ll be more alert. If not, then I’ll just become one of those fairy tale characters who sleep and sleep and sleep.

Even caffeine isn’t helping. If this was a winter month, it would sort of make sense, as early darkness makes me sleepy, but it’s mid-July!

Maybe I’m making up a sleep deficit, but I don’t think it works that way.

That sounds about right...

Still can't get used to it

I've worked for my vet since I retired from teaching in 2006. I don't care how long I read files, I still become weepy when Doctor has to spay a pregnant cat (unless the female is too close to delivery, when Doctor will spay after the kittens are born).

Another vet brought in a stray female to be spayed and she was pregnant about 3-4 weeks. Yes, there are too many strays in need of homes; on that, I think we can agree. I just feel sorry for the cat, the kittens, and my vet.
