Here is the situation at nearly 5: 30 pm my time. 1730 for the rest of the world

I barely got the cartoons / memes /news post out for the morning of the 13th on time.  I have been struggling the last four days.   I set my alarm and pulled my old ass out of bed this morning even though Ron protested I need far more sleep and I managed to get today’s cartoons / memes / news post out around noon my time.  It takes 6 or more hours to put it together as I have to sort them as I put them in the post page.  And if something comes up that needs to be inserted before hitting the post I have to work that in.   I am not complaining.  I love doing them and it seems many love seeing them.  There are over 60 separate web pages with each having many things on each one.  

Yesterday I went back through the comments and opened a new tab for everyone I could see addressed to me and a few to Ali that caught my attention.  I really do love the comments.  I will be honest if I could have a blog of just comments I would do that and not post.  I love the interaction with people, and yes even with people I disagree with.  

So today dealing with everything else I got the first one out.  I listened to the mostly biased bulls**t corporate broadcast media and grew ever more upset over the lies and misinformation.   

Then I started on the cartoons / memes / and news post for tomorrow.  At some point Ron told me we had to do supper and we had agreed on ribs, ear corn, and small new potatoes chunked.  As time for supper came near Ron had me take my blood sugar and because I am eating so little / infrequently it was 72, below what my endrochonoligest wants for me because of my pain levels.  He again explained to me that the kind of pain I have causes my body to produce blood sugar to protect itself.  

We started to eat.  I ate two ribs, about four potato chunks and started on an ear of corn when I got so sleepy and tired.  I couldn’t finish.  Ron came to the door of my office and saw me sort of dozing over my plate and demanded I go to bed.  I pointed to the nearly eaten ear of corn and the rest while pretending I had not fallen asleep.  He asked me to eat the small amount of corn left on the ear as he knows how much I like that and then reached in front of me and took the plate with the other stuff away. 

He has already set the bed up for the pile of cat towels that rest close to me on the king size bed because Ron’s cat Tupac clings to and cuddles me at night.  But the multiple layers are needed because he is incontenate and when he wakes up noticing he is lying in his own pee soaked towels he will nudge me to remove them so he has fresh clean towels to then lie back down on.  Why me and not Ron? 

Tomorrow morning I have a pain doctor appointment where I hope they will be able to give me enough trigger point steroid injections that I will be able to walk again.  After that I will try to finish the post I started today, but it will have to be after noon my time as my appointment is for 10 am.  Plus I have new information on Ron’s eye surgery as well as mine.  

I apologize to everyone for being so weak that I cannot get these posts out on time.  My health has gotten so much better and I am starting to grow hair and fingernails again.  I have more energy than even a month ago, but I still get so very tired that I need to go to bed at weird times.  For example I was working on posting something a few days ago and suddenly I had to go laydown for an hour / half before I could get back up to finish it.  

Thank you for understanding, especially about the comments.  Please keep sending them in on posts even if you feel I have not responded.  I try to go back through the WordPress dashboard to open those I missed in new tabs.  I do miss some and if you think I missed your comment you want me to address please send it to me again.  I am not ghosting you; I am just very tired.   

Best wishes to everyone and hugs / love to all who want them.  I really care about people and the people here seem like grand people to care about.   Scottie

  1. I have some of that corn wafting for me to eat it!

    Last time I did it with a short microwave heating and put on a bit of butter. Turns out Velcrow likes it that way, too! It’s been a while since I had a cat that likes corn on the cob.

    Here he is, waiting hopefully for someone to flush the toilet for him so he can watch the water go down. A cat’s gotta have his hobbies!

    1. Hello MDavis. I really wish I could have seen the pictures you included but they wont display for me. I never had a cat that would eat corn but I have had a dog that would go into the garden and grab an ear of corn in her mouth and cleanly pull it off to eat it, she would eat berries and other vergtibles. I truly miss her. I love that you do that for the cat. Ron is upset with Tupac today because he woke us twice last night for food and wants my attention around five in the morning so cries to wake me. If I pet him for a few minutes he will settle back down but if he is hungry he wont and I have to get up feed him, and then sit at my cesk while he lays under one of the monitors. Hugs

      1. I was hoping it would show up. Maybe this will work. I did more processing of the image transfer. In the image, he’s just gotten done unrolling an entire roll of toilet paper. Looks innocent, doesn’t he?

          1. Hi MDavis. WordPress is very hard to post pictures to in the comments. You have to use a third party service. It is even impossible for me to do it in the comments other than that. But things like pictures / videos / memes stuff like that can if you can copy the dedicated URL to paste in the box. However if you want to share a picture you can send it to me and I will make a post of it. but the best and easier way to share you wonderful photos with me is via email. Hugs

        1. Hi MDavis. That is so funny. We rescued a kitten that was in a bad situation once. He loved to bat the toilet paper roll as fast as he could and then after the roll was mostly on the floor grab a bunch in his mouth and race all over the house with it. He also would remove the Christmas tree ornaments from the bottom two rows which we had used soft unbreakable ornaments only and pile them up next to the tree for us to put them back up the next day. He loved it. He was such a wonderful cat. He was devoted to me and would wait until we turned the bedroom lights out and then attack and bit Ron’s toes. Hugs

      1. Hi Michael. You could see the pictures? I couldn’t do so. I wonder what setting makes it blocked for me. And I love the idea of a cat who eats vegetables. We had a dog that loved them. But Tupac loves shredded cheese, Cheez Whiz, and chopped ham and baloney. Hugs

        1. Yes, I finagled the photo into opening because I was curious. Tried several modes and one finally worked. Can’t recall which one. Sorry. We had several cats who wanted nothing to do with ‘real food’. There there was Jade and Quinn who declared I want to eat anything that you eat — and did! Funniest of the cats, though was our beautiful Bombay Black, Crystal. She loved powder sugar doughnuts and would steal them and go off and quietly eat them. We never caught her taking them, but the doughnuts would disappear and there she sat, white crumbs on her pretty black face and paws! Cheers

            1. Hi MDavis. Tupac wants shredded cheese and baloney or ham cut into small pieces. He will act as if he wants what we are eating but when we put parts of it down for him he turns away. He used to lick my salad bowl with my mixture of ranch and italian dressing but when I instead did red wine vinegar, he now won’t go near a salad dish. I have to admit I would love to see a cat go after a Cheeto. Ron and I did have a cat that would steal cheese slices from our sandwiches if left unattended. He would leave the meat and go for the cheese. Now grilled cheese he would try to take over the entire sandwich. As Michael has said cats have their own personalities and way to act. Hugs
