When the great niece and nephew were small, their mom, grandmother and i used to add vegetation to mac and cheese and we called it macaroni mess.

Ain’t that the truth! A couple of years ago, I ordered two pair of jeans online. Same size, same jeans, only different colors. The light wash fit well with a 1" hem. The dark wash, however, came clear up to my bra and would have needed a 4" hem. Methinks they slipped a women’s tall in the mix.

So I’ve been scrambling to get that under control, because I will Not Be OK if he dies right now. He’s around 10 now, not young, but not old enough that I’m ready to say goodbye to him. Right now he seems to be doing ok. Not sick anymore, but still weak in the back legs. We just upped his insulin dose, so hopefully he starts improving more.

From a human diabetic perspective, once you get it under control, you do feel better. Here’s hoping that’s the case for other critters.

I’m glad that the biopsy turned out negative **sticky buns**

Happy birthday **fishy**!

We got frost last night. And me with my ice scraper with my car at the dealership. :headsmack: On the way to irk, I remembered that my parking placard was also in my car, so I took not of the tag number and wrote a description on a post-it for security so’s it wouldn’t get towed. They were cool with that.

Speaking of my car, the insurance company is jacking me around wanting to send me to a not-so-great collision center for re-man parts. The car only has 53K miles on it fer cripes sake! The liason at the dealership is seeing what she can do for me, I may have to pay a few bucks more out of pocket, but I really would rather have the pros do it.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!
