My friend D and I Wordle, etc. every morning; he lives alone, so it's our proof of life on the daily. Well, that and the fact that we "work from Zoom" just about all day every weekday, ha!

My aunt, who is 87 and lives alone, is always in daily text touch with her daughter (who lives 5 mins away) and grands, and, frankly, is sprier than I am -- she plays bridge all the time and even taught it to a bunch of her daughter's friends who wanted to learn it. Goals.

I was Wordleing with my mom, but we both have vision problems. Mine is doable, but I think it is too hard for her because she refuses to use the assistive technology on her phone.

Plei! I’m so sorry that happened

Plei, holy shit, that's terrible! So glad all your family members are unharmed, though.

It really isn't just an age thing. My sister slipped on ice on her deck and broke her ankle decades ago. She crawled to her phone and called her son, but that might not have been an option. Life is scary and we need to watch out for each other.

Continuing to hold Plei and family in my heart. So many things to deal with! When you can please check in and let us know how it is going.

In meme news. I have pinkeye. A world of ugh. Fortunately the RN on call at my doctor's office got a script called in for me when I texted him a picture. It's presenting differently than usual, as in my whole eye socket aches. I'll go into the office tomorrow if it gets worse.

You need Eye Morphine.

Yes! Eye Morphine would be good, but they only prescribed antibiotic gel. Boo.

they only prescribed antibiotic gel

That's not even in the same ballpark as Eye Morphine, dang it.

Ugh. This year's Spring Forward for DST has hit me much harder than usual. My usual alarm woke me up and I took my first meds, but then I fell back asleep and didn't wake up for four hours. I'm still catching up, and half the day is gone!

Time change sucks. Also, the animals don't read clocks, and apparently, my body doesn't either.
