OLD AGE IS NOT FOR THE ELDERLY... AND I KNOW I AM ONLY ALLOWED ONE AILMENT A DAY-- SO HERE IS TODAYS.... I WOKE UP AT 2AM WHICH IS USUAL-- STARTED TO GET OUT OF BED AND MY LEFT FOOT CURLED SIDEWAYS SO I COULD NOT GET THE BOTTOM PART ON THE FLOOR..AND MY RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ALL THAT HAPPY EITHER. SO THERE I SAT WISHING I DID NOT HAVE THAT SECOND GLASS OF WATER BEFORE BED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE THESE PROBLEMS--- I WEAR THAT "I HAVE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP" THING AROUND MY NECK, BUT I AM EMBARASSED TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND HAVE TO SAY I CAN'T GET THE BOTTOM OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR. -- SAME KIND OF THING AS THE DAY I WAS ATTACKED BY MY BATHROBE AND MY ARMS WERE STUCK OVER MY HEAD.. SO I COULDNT' EVEN PUSH THE BUTTON IF I WANTED TO...
IT DID GO AWAY BUT IT GAVE ME TIME TO REMEMBER--- WITH CAREFUL STUDY/PLANNING ONE WAY TO SET AN ALARM FOR EARLY RISING... IS TO HAVE A BIG GLASS OF WATER BEFORE BED AND YOUR BLADDER WILL WAKE YOU UP...
THERE WILL BE NO "I OVERSLEPT"
HOW DID I GET ON THIS TOPIC--- EXCEPT I DID FIND IT INTERESTING THAT MY OLDEST DAUGHTER HAS HER EARLY MORNING COFFEE PLANNED SO SHE HAS NO PROBLEM ON THE COMMUTER TRAIN.
I CAN'T DO THAT FOR THE NUTTY PROFESSOR-- HOWEVER I AM GETING SHORT ON IDEAS... ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM NOT FUNCTIONING ON ALL 3 CYLINDARS.

LARRY WAS BACK YESTERDAY WITH RUCKUS-- WHO IS BEHAVING PERFECTLY-- THEY ARE REALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME TOGETHER-- SHE ADORES HIM---
HE CAME UP THE DRIVEWAY JUST AS WE WERE ALL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ANGLES TO GIVE IS A NICE ROOF ON THE MEAT SHACK...-- HE IS A CONTRACTOR AND MADE US A PATTERN WHICH WE WILL DO TODAY... SO WERE DID HE COME FROM JUST AS WE NEEDED HIM.???
I AM BEGINNING TO CONSIDER THESE CONCEPTS AS "HEAVEN SENT" - WE NEED TO MAKE A LIST
LIKE -- SICK PUP - COULD NOT FIND GEORGE AND MY DAUGHTER UNEXPECTEDLY COMES FOR A VISIT WITH A COLLEGE FRIEND-- WHO IS A VETERNARIAN
LIKE-- DOGS TOTALLY DESTROYED MY ONLY PAIR OF SNEAKERS AND BLUE GWEN TOOK A BOX OF SHIRTS UPSTAIRS AND FOUND A BRAND NEW PAIR OF MY SIZE SNEAKERS - STILL IN THE BOX-- IN THE HALL--
LIKE- I SPENT A COUPLE HOURS DIDDLING WITH THE VIDEO CAMERA AND THOUGHT OF PUTTIN G A VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED AD IN THIS DD--- AND CARLA'S SON CAME UP THE DRIVEWAY NEEDING TO MAKE A VIDEO FRO SOME CLASS HE IS TAKENG..( YESTERDAY)
LIKE THE ANNENBERG FOUNDATION GIVING US THE FIRST GRANT... THEN ASKING IF WE WOULD LIKE MORE??? JUST AS I WAS BEGINNING TO PANIC...
THERE IS A LONG LIST OF "WHY DID THIS JUST HAPPEN RIGHT NOW"
MY MEMORY DOES NOT DO THIS JUSTICE-- THERE IS A SIGNIFICANTLY LONG LIST OF SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE MAGICALLY APPEARED... ( AND REMEMBER I AM A MATH TYPE-- THE PROBABILITY OF THESE HAPPENINGS IS STAGGERING).
***********
I AM TOLD WE HAVE 2 YOUNG/STRONG TYPES COMING TODAY-- SO WE CAN GET OUT THE SCAFFOLDING TO PUT THE ROOF ON THE SHACK-- AND PAINT TH EPEAK IN THE BARN.
I GOT THE SEESAW BUILT YESTERDAY FOR WILLIAM AND A POSSIBLE CALENDAR SHOT-- IT NEEDS PAINTING.... AND A FEW PUPS NEED "TRAINING" FOR THE SHOT..
*****
NOW TO FINISH THE CHINESE FOOD FOR BREAKFAST AND GET TO WORK.
