Trying to decide whether or not to have three more vanilla wafer cookies. Oddly these are one of the few exceptions of the even rule lol

@jillar Go for it there small lol

I went ahead and ate them.....😋

Stressing about getting ready for Christmas. My boyfriend’s son, daughter-in-law and their two little girls are flying in in 3 days. Somehow, John thinks I should clean his house….. I, of course, said I’d be happy to pitch in, but I have my own home. This one is his responsibility. He hates it when I tell him that, as he considers me “the lady of the house” . To that, I reply, “Who are you calling a lady?!” 😂😂

I'm going to play devils advocate @Katgirl and say you guys should clean it together since you're mostly there. Or just hire a housecleaner like I do lol

Watching the RAIN! And lots more coming 😊

I am also watching the rain and listening to the wind. Rain is a rare treat in California, it seems. Though, it is more common in the winter. Nasty day outside, so I am staying in, when I should be doing last minute Christmas shopping. 

I could run Necked in the rain, love it, and afterwards when every thing is all shriveled up,  Jump in a hot Bath and soak.  From there in front of the fire place all bundled up with the wife watching some make her cry movie chick flick Like the Note Book.

You see it is the Rain that gets me to all the other great stuff !  So got to love the rain.

@love the rain!!! Life is good!!

Rain is underated, I love it!  Been in the bed all day with migraine.  Got up and thru together a nice pasta salad and went to get wine.  Watching Andy Griffith, been in love with that man since I was a little girl so my mom told me.  My dad died when I was only three.  He was in the air force. I would run to any man in a uniform because I thought he was my dad. My nick name was kissy bug, that he gave me.  I tried to be worthy.

@Kris enjoy the wine and pasta 🍷🍷

Lord God. Cannot sleep, up again.  Getting ready to cook some bacon and make some fried eggs for the dogs. It is that time of month for their heart worm medication an they take it well when mashed in an egg. I have given up on shoving down their throats and take the easy way out.

@KrisGood morning !!! Sorry your not able to sleep!

Your fur babies are lucky to have a great mama!! My fur baby

had to go to the vet yesterday she has an ear infection.

Hope you get some rest later.

Tell me about your babies. I must have missed you have furbabies.

I only have one, her name is Lily. She is a Boxer which is my favorite breed.

Through the years I have had several. She is spoiled rotten and a 55 pound baby.

She thinks she is a lap dog lol. She is a great companion and loves to go with me

everywhere I go. She is a great baby and a lot o company as you well know dogs are and gives

unconditional love!!

I am so happy you have Lily in your life. Our pups get us thru everyday; I do not what I would do without mine.  I have three but I still find myself looking for another.  

@Kris Yes they do!!

I've watched every episode of The Andy Griffith Show...multiple times.  I've lost count of how many times I've seen that episode with Jimmy the dynamite eating goat.

 

That being said, I feel like I need to go back and re-watch those shows.  I have a son on the way and watching Andy raise Opie is like a masterclass in father-son relations.

 

Said in my best Andy Griffith voice: that was a fine show, a fiiine show.

😂😂😂 I love this one! I love them all though. 🤣

My favorite was Aunt Bea coming to take care of Opie. She could not do anything to make that little boy happy.  She had given up and was leaving, when Opie ran out in his pajamas "Aunt Bea could not leave, she don't know how to do anything! Who will take care of her!"  It makes me cry everytime.  Just for the record, I am not afraid of frogs or lizards and I spent many happy days wading in the creek catching tadpoles with my son.

Feeling positive that after emailing my county supervisor and mayor Pro Tem to no avail about the lack of even one pulmonologist in my city of over 100,000 people I was able to get a response from our actual mayor who said she would look into it for me. 

Fingers crossed and I know it will take time but I suggested they offer incentives like they do with businesses they are trying to attract to our area.

My next move will be notifying the news stations so I'm really hoping something comes out of the mayor doing something about it.

@jillar Good for you being your own advocate!! That is awful!

I live in a fairly rural area and have many choices within 50 miles

and some even closer. That is hard to believe in your area. Not sure where 

that is except CA. Hope you get some answers soon! I will keep you in my

prayers!!

Hope you have started something wonderful Jillar ...I'm sure there are many folks who would benefit...

Hope they get thier finger out 🐸

@Linda, I have options if I want to travel 45 minutes to another county or an hour to one in my own county but being on portable oxygen its just too far without having to bring multiple tanks. And that would be too hard for me to do on my own. We really just need at least one in our immediate area

Success! Just received this email from our Mayor:

 

After contacting Sue Anderson, President of Marian Hospital, she directed me to Dr. Robertson regarding this issue.  They are trying to recruit.  It seems that this is a problem throughout the country.  Access to Pulmonology is very critical and the covid has exacerbated the problem. A Pulmonologist is expected to start seeing patients by late March 2022.  I know this doesn’t help you right now but help is coming soon.
