Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Lousy overnight zzz,   man.

We really need to return to our HSM and not the doctor's, conclude we and our kidneys be hanged man.

 

Breakfast/lunch was 2 ham-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

 

Highlight of day was fielding aysheep calls from Mama T-B., frantic senior she man man.

She's aysheep of running out of incontinence supplies, aysheep senior she man man.

She won't let us buy any for her to tide her over, no man.   

She'd rather wait (but can't wait) for some to be delivered,   man.

She's seriously going to worry herself to death, in her lifelong personality already man.

 

We furthermore got called by Uncle T-B., senior he man call we man man.

He's fascinated with an inpatient place that treats lymphadema + cellulitis,   man.

We did this in a similar place already back in May-June, horrible man.

He doesn't understand that nothing will improve if he doesn't take part in self-care,   man.

He waits on noosers et al. to treat & bathe his legs, no contribution from his own self man.

We told him last time that if his condition returns to what it was, he's on his own, grrrr man.

Instead, we're being roped into the same infernal thing as before,   man.

We can't handle TWO inpatients, run off screaming into the night we man.

And the nooser from this new inpatient place wants to give us a sales pitch, forget it man.

Movie night was El Camino, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys and apply to next week's tally man.

During movie, Mama T-B. called us Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- times,   man.

 

After off-dropping Mini-B., went to nearby supermarket, need stuff and curious we man man.

If, as expected, Mama T-B. remains too aysheep, we can re-itinerary 2 more-local ESs, sigh man.

And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.

Snow forecast precised and much sympathy, si and see and   and  Y ma'am.

it's glorious. We need snow especially to protect the plants from the temps and we are still in a major drought. The last official blizzard was 2016, and that is too long. Forecasts continue to get worse for this area.

 

Went for a doctor's appointment last afternoon which is quite far away and then needed to get back down here to do the weekly basic grocery shopping. Got stuck in traffic and had to take a two hour detour just to get home. By the time I got to the store the mass panic had set in. Four different locations.... all cleaned out, and not just the basic essentials either. Lines were going out the doors! Man I lived through the great blizzard of 96' when the entire state was a ghost town for weeks... you would think it was going to be the apocalypse out there.

Same thing happens here when a hurricane is within 1000 miles.

Hubs went last night just to get the few bits we needed.  He said shelves had been locusted, but not any worse than a Sunday.  We kinda figure people are doing their weekend shopping on the week days because Sunday will be cold and miserable.  

 

Got our plants all moved into their respective homes.  Got incandescent christmas lights in some, a coop heater in the greenhouse and got the spigots and sprinklers dealt with.  Just need one electrical splitter and to stick the thermometers out and we'll be good to go.  

 

Generator was serviced a couple of weeks ago and exercised, as scheduled, on Wednesday, so hopefully we'll be with fewer issues than we have in the past.
