Howdy Y’all! Da cave is now all spiffed and sanitized. No horrible diseases will be gotten by visitors. 
I have been chillin’ for a couple of hours and will start sup anon. Have I mentioned lately how much I like bein’ retired?
Lunch is at 11:30 in my world. The lawn guys were here this morning so any ground leaves are gone. Per doctor’s orders, I am tostay home from work the rest of the week. I have a personal nebulizer to be used every 4-6 hours. I have discovered that Albuterol gives me the shakes. On the way home from the doctor I stopped for a Culver’s butter burger and root beer float. Num.
Did have to go to the clinic got iv meds and not good news. And worst of all, no corndogs! 
Oh, sorry. Not good news = kidneys are whack!
Yeah, I didn’t think it was too terrible. Their first question was if it was an insurance job. Considering we have a $1K deductible, um, no. 
I do wonder if the charge would have been higher if it was an insurance claim.
Just finished knitting a pair of slippers for Roxy. At the rate her feet are growing, she’ll outgrow them next week!
Supper will be grab whatever. I’ll probably grab an apple, since I had a big sammich for lunch.
And my weekend is winding down - back to the grind tomorrow.
We have supped and all is well.
{{{Beck}}} sorry about the kidneys and the corndawgs.
WetOne do what the doc says and get better. I have spoken. So Mote It Be.
Durin’ part of my irklife (have I mentioned how much I like retirement lately?) I was at irk at six a.m., so N.O.L. was ten a.m. I did not like that at all.
{{{Beck}}} - also sorry about the kidneys. I’ve had assorted issues over the years and its never fun at all.
Not so much so about the corndogs. For all the time we spend at amusement parks and fairs I never could develop the taste for them or funnel cakes. Nothing against those who do like them and I would be happy to treat you to one. I’ll just skip it and head for the porkchop-on-a-stick. Pork Chop On A Stick - Knoebels Amusement Resort - YouTube
or bacon-on-a-stick. I caught this Canadian who snuck over the border just to experience what real bacony goodness is.

If you listen carefully the Sunday of opening weekend, you can hear my arteries hardening from several states away.
Oh no Beck. Careful hugs.
Thanks y’all. I’m feeling a bit more perky this evening.
Nazi DIL has went, OMG, serious mom-mode on me. Oldest Grandwrek was talking to me as DIL was doing stuff in the kitchen. She said: “Don’t worry, Mom will get tired of buggin’ you in a little while”
Gotta love the mouth on that kid!
sari, I get the is it a leaf or is it poo thing. With a small dog when it isn’t broad daylight (like the leafy time of the year), it’s hard to tell. Glad Echo is feeling better.
alien, the oak trees here began to lose their leaves during the drought in September. It didn’t get pretty at all this year in middle Tennessee.
spidey, count me in as another who dislikes the open office concept. My department’s last two moves have been open office and even up in the front offices, they’ve gone that direction in order to cram more warm bodies into the available space. It might not be as bad if one of my cow-orkers didn’t try to talk over everyone else’s headphones. I finally told her that if mine are on (almost all of the time that I’m at my desk), IM me.
Irked, came home and will play in the studio this evening. Because I had the audacity to take off T-F turkey week, I’ve been told that there will be staying late involved several times during the month. The old bat is already pitching a hissy (forgetting that she made a regular habit of taking at least two days off at EoM with no prior announcement for most of this year). Oh, well. C’est le damn guerre!
Beckers, all the best on the kidney front. As for corndogs, not a fan but whatever breaded food you like, have at it.
wetone, get well soon. And butter burgers ain’t bad–but the nearest Culver’s down here is 100 miles away in Birmingham, and I don’t like them quite that much…
I’m down to about two meals a day, one between 8am-noon and the other between 5-8pm. Perhaps that’s why time changes don’t bother me…
Laundry and nappage accomplished, mostly at the same time. Still tired from the weekend’s exertions, so probably will head to bed at an early hour.
All y’all take care now.
That will likely be about when I eat once retired. I tend to do it on weekends and vacation now, so without having a specific lunch break, two meals is enough.
What’s treatment plan for kidneys?
No corndogs today or forever???
I’m going in the hospital for a complete kidney work-up. Of course, all diabetics fear kidney disease and loss. Early next week is the time frame. He wants to get me somewhere with some understanding of what’s happening before the holidays.
No Corndogs just today. Not felt like too much food. I’m eating but not really happy about it.
Protein-crap shakes are diabolical. Hate them.
Been there, doing that. Any dialysis centers nearby, as much as ANYTHING is nearby?
Yes. There are centers close-ish to me. 24 mi one way. 31mi the other way. And my diabetic clinic is associated with one in Texarkana.1 hour away.
Oh, god, I don’t wanna think about this yet.
My ‘best used by date’ was probably up in my late 30s. At that time I just wanted my kids grown and established. I’m nearly there. Lil’wrekker is 21 now and making huge plans.
You just check that date again, missy. Too many people need you around. I’m going through some tough shit, and your antics help. Yes, it’s all about ME. :rolleyes:
You two are hereby ordered to Get Well. Let me know if it works, willya?
Completely unrelated:
one of my coworkers looks like Gru, especially with that thick vest on
using a Spanish keyboard half the time (at home) and a US keyboard the other half (at work) gets really confusing.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 60 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 77 and cloudy for the day with maybe even rain. Or not. TWPTB are all willy-nilly about that. I shall open up da cave windows durin’ the day so yay for that. Today is laundry day. Rah. Also, I need to make a trip over to the church house at some point to reset the timers on the outside lights. Meant to do that Sunday but didn’t and then thought about it again last night. We have groups such as AA, AlAnon, Overeaters Anonymous, as well as various church related stuff durin’ the week so need to make sure both buildin’s get lit up in the dark. Mayhaps I shall accomplish a couple errands whilst out and about just cause I shall be out and about.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, bother, alas, and alack, I must purtify and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
I made it to the office, so there’s that. Today is election day in VA and MD, tho not in my county. I’m so glad - the political ads came fast and thick on TV since last week and I got sick of them in short order. It appears someone believes labeling someone as a “Trump Republican” and using unflattering B&W photos will = BAD GUY!! It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Meanwhile, my inbox was overflowing. Some were instantly easy - I deleted everything with “Approval” in the subject line, since they were info only. But I’ve got a lot of correction taskers, so it should be a productive day. I hope.
Happy Tuesday!
Morning everyone. Blurf.
