Made it home. Happy Monday, all :hello:

I got one hour of sleep during my all-night flight from SF to Atlanta. For one thing, my seat wouldn't recline. Grrr. Secondly, the guy sitting next to me not only took over the armrest, his arm protruded into my seat-space. This was an act of war. I decided not to say anything, so my response was to claim my space my placing my arm up against his -- which he didn't seem to mind. For 5 hours! I don't think I've ever been this intimate with another man :lol:

It was raining in Atlanta but the storm didn't appear to affect take-offs and landings. I wish I had a near death experience to share, but I don't. :shrug:

Allergies kept me awake a good chunk of the night.

Hello :hello:

A strange night of sleep. Slept some, woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. got up, realized I was very tired and went back to bed. Slept 6 hours! :eek:

Rain and thunder right now, so not going out anywhere. And anyway, can't do any errands until the first of the month. Only a week away.

So instead I'll look for jobs. :thumbsup:

Yeah! I'm still trying to get out of all the trouble my near death got me into: gotta get rid of the va fiduciary. already got rid of the idiot doctor who proclaimed me incompetent. no longer friendly with the nurse who "took care of me" by dumping me in yhe nursing home and, and suggested the fiduciary with a lot of lies about who they are and what they do.

Yeah all the dancing we did in the sixties made keeping it part of having it.

Good morning, everyone. :hello:

Another long day lies ahead. I can't wait for my four-day weekend next week. :sleep:

As soon as that neurologist gives you the letter, that should take care of the fiduciary. :yes:

Good morning!

My mom sent a video to me, of the gender reveal my sister did with her four kids. They had to bite into a cupcake at the same time to see what color filling was in it. I couldn't see the color, but based on Addie's (a long high pitched scream) and Will's (NOOOOOOOO!!!!) reactions, I am guessing it is a girl. :lol:

Good morning, gang, :coffee2:

No major plans though a run into our local market seems to be in order.
