Sending out the ~ma for your human friend and your canine friend, smonster. None of that is easy.

Just ordered my wheelchair. (Paid for curtesy of the Bank of Mom and Dad. Insurance doesn't pay anything for wheelchairs unless you need it to get around inside your house, which I don't. And kind of can't, because my house has a weird twisty hallway that a wheelchair wouldn't fit through, anyway.) I can go to street fairs and museums and stuff this summer, and go see Cary Elwes at Cincinnati Comic Expo in September, and not have to rest and ice my ankle and be in pain for days afterwards! I got this one: [link]

Get with the bling adding, Hil! I am sure it will be be wonderful to do things you have been avoiding.

Also, people!! I posted a happy congrats thing on the Cassini mission on FB, and my step dad's son responds with "Is it neessary?". Seriously dude, you keep getting closer and closer to the just unfriend already line. I try and keep peace and block his type for any political posts, but you hate NASA too? I didn't think I needed to block people when I celebrate space exploration.

Random factoid. I was married the first time on this date in 1973. Some day I will find a picture. In February of that year I had been living with Bob a year and told him that I was tired of being pretty much estranged from my family for living in sin. I told him honestly that there were no hard feelings or anything, but if we weren't going to get married I needed to move on with my life. He said of course, sure we can get married. When I asked about when he suggested April, so of course April 28 was the day. Wonder what paths we would have taken had we ended it then instead of after 12 years.

Laura, I would probably type and then delete a number of snarky replies, then settle for "yes".

Hil - woo hoo for the wheelchair and getting to do all sorts of fun things this summer!

Happy Anniversary Laura!

FB drama: I can't even. My family is so crazy they will call me and complain about the snarky tone of a comment left on their adult nephew's page. Apparently they require much, much more Respect from me even when I am not addressing nor referring to their royal holy Selves, Conservative, Christian Trump voters that they are.

I don't miss them very much.

Ugh, KB. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Library bookstore haul: one book for ltc that she wouldn't let go of, three books for me, two DVDs, and one DVD course set.

Don't blame you for not missing them, KB. I'm sorry your family is so hard to deal with.

It is over 80 degrees F. In April. This sucks.

Here too, Zen. My body is so not happy with the rapid up and down temperature.
