One of the things no one tells you about aging is how your own care providers retire and suddenly you have to figure out new people and new systems.This. Also, hi. Life has been busy. Glad you all are here.

The status is NOT quo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Casper; is that a muppet singing?? Me: no that’s Tom Waits
Ha! Tell her that his own kids call Tom's singing his "Cookie Monster voice."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Hello. Just to report that I'm doing OK as much as one can. Miss being at home with my books. Brought some with me, but it's obviously not the same.

Our wings are not tired.
My first big smile of the day.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I hope you can be reunited with your books soon, Shir. This all sucks.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
They found Mr. S a bed in the behavioral unit at Childrens' Hospital yesterday. I don't know if there's much more on the treatment plan beyond getting him stable.
The temperature/weather shifts this week(what JenP described) have had me muttering "Go home Mother Nature, you're drunk.".
Since today is Pi day, Gary and I went out for pizza.

We're also having pizza for Pi Day dinner!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I considered it, but since I mentioned pizza to my mom for watching the Oscars tomorrow I opted to try a new BBQ place instead. It was pretty good, I tried sliders with three kinds of meat: pork, chicken, beef brisket, and was surprised that the pork was the best since I usually prefer the other two. I also saw five fire engines, an ambulance, and the fire chief's car pass on the road or heading toward it as I left, so something big was going on north of town that hasn't made the local news yet.
Despite sleeping in unexpectedly late, I got a lot done for my back yard today. I assembled the remaining privacy panel and placed it along my fence to complete the enclosure of my patio area, then got up on the ladder and replaced all the overhead tiles that had fallen from the closed eave of my storage shed. They're all reinforced with packing tape now, which is an inelegant solution but at least isn't as visible as using duct tape.

Our wings are not tired.
Sadly, I had no pie yesterday. I was utterly miserable with a bad UTI. In the last couple of weeks, I was swimming and hot-tubbing almost every day, and apparently, bacteria happened. Not helpful, I am sure, but instead of the quiche that I usually make to celebrate the day, I consumed English muffins and plain pasta with butter and salt. Comfort carbs.
I did think of Nilly's Pi children and hope the family is coping with the horrible circumstances in their region. Trying to keep things as normal as possible has to be challenging.
