Hello everyone. I put myself in Doper jail for a few days, as I felt I was getting cranky. I think I’ve paid my debt to society, so I’m back and hopefully a kinder, gentler Nellie.

I think I’ve caught up on the thread.

**oopsie** , could you have a vitamin deficiency that’s causing you to be out of sorts? Or maybe you’re already taking vitamin and mineral pills. I don’t know how people get enough nutrients when they’ve had bariatric surgery, so excuse the ignorance, please, and I hope you feel _in sorts_ tomorrow.

**nameless** , we’re onto you now. When danger lurks, when evil stalks the streets, when defenseless people are attacked, you shed your mild-mannered needlework expert and cheesemaker identity and become a superhero who administers justice with her magical cane. We should let Little Red Vlady-Pants know about you: he’d take his nukes and troops and creep his way back to Moscow.

**sunny** , **shoe** , your hair is gor-chiss.

And a good early evening all. Got 50 stamps and some stuff from Kroger, then did my 900 yards of swimming and watched soccer (managed not to fall asleep, although it was a near-run thing). Will fix a bit of dinner here shortly, then we’ll see what the evening brings.

**Unknown Avenger** , who knows, with all the ‘real-life-as it happens’ TV programming these days, you might find yourself on some program one day; hopefully they’ll get your permission first…

**Sunny** , glad chicken, prescription and walk went OK.

**Oopsie** , grumpy times happen; you’ll get over it, I’m sure.

**nellie** , we’ll happy to have you, cranky or not.

OK, need to forage some. Have to remember that HVAC guy is due tomorrow, so I actually do have to put on proper attire in the morning. Trash needs to head out to the curb too, either tonight or early morning.

All y’all take care.

Wifey, RN was a little urinated when she came home today. She drove all the way to Bellingham, and her patient was a no-show. She said, ‘I can’t spend a quarter of a tank of gas for nothing. And that’s also time I could have used to see another patient.’

That is a _very_ fair — and good — question! I’ve been taking all kinds of supplements since the surgery\*, and my labs get checked every few months and adjusted as needed. I just had bloodwork done last week: the nurse practitioner had me stop taking vitamin D and start taking vitamin A, and my B12 went from three times a week to once a week. I wonder if any of that could account for anything?? If I don’t snap out of this by the weekend, I’ll send a message to my nutritionist.

\*Currently: calcium three times a day, a multivitamin twice a day, iron twice a day, vitamin A every day, B50 complex every day, and B12 once a week.

Totally thought you were starting a story about one of her patients peeing on her!

I forgot to mention while eating a pork"steak" there was a bone I didn’t know about and busted the last piece of my tooth … the thing was I bit it so hard my tooth is now horizontal but the last hanging on my gum corner doesn’t want to give it up … .

so it’s loose enough that I can play with it like an 6-year-old with his first loose tooth

How irritated should I get when the designer only answers half of one question out of 4 that I ask? And do I send back a snarky response after a few glasses of wine? These are simple questions, like, how big is that thing? And what color is it? And this other thing, what color is it? I get back “We’re going to the paint store tomorrow, we’ll be in touch.”

Didn’t get a lot of sleep, because _somebody_ had a panic attack when he walked out of my bedroom, and realized he was alone. In the living room. 🤨 🙄

I’m in a Facebook time out. I think because I made a comment about a certain leader of Russia needs to be deaded……

@swampbear , 57 days. Tonight I listened to a webinar on Medicare. Today I sent my director who I report to my retirement notice. Got an automated reply that she is out of the office for 2 weeks. But she didn’t bother to tell me……

lol that would end up like a ; last season cheers ep where Carla got to run the bar for a night despite past experiences and sams better judgment

apparently, shed make these insane old-world drinks and everyone would get extremely wasted which she did as expected one called "my redeemer liveth " and everyone pretty much woke up in the bar the next morning … Well they had a drew Carrey stand-in named Paulie who wasn’t the most socially aware guy … and apparently he and Carla got busy and Carla didn’t want anyone to find out while he wanted to brag to the world he got lucky … and sam had to explain to him on how to be classy about it so the only people who knew was sam norm and cliff … but there were jokes that other things happened and sam found a bra in the pool table … and says " I don’t even wanna know " as the show ends
