For weeks on end. Finally feeling a little better after the endless coughing and gagging and whole body weakness practically confining me to bed. yay. hehe. Needless to say I have not been writing anything because of all that

One of my sisters goes in for a huge tumor removal tomorrow. Fortunately she had children earlier in life, as this requires the nearly complete removal of her reproductive system apparently. It is something like 6 month recovery. So there is of course apprehension there by all involved, and it is not without some amount of risk naturally. Another reason there is apprehension is because someone else we knew died from a tumor, that should have been treated extremely differently than it was. I

My sisters husband who is a certified plumber was working when a hot water tank swung around and kind of snapped his arm. It was thought he was okay but turns out the tendon fully separated from the bone and will be shortly having surgery on tuesday to like tack it on or something, leaving him off work for four months. The shop he works for is mainly an HVAC outfit but he is one of only two plumbers there thus leaving the shop without their main guy for that basically. Shows how fast a serious

We actually got a civil alert warning like..a few moments before being hit by a tremendous wall of water, is what it was. Eight trees out back were destroyed, and one out front thrown directly into the roadway. Two people were killed by other trees. That hit us with almost no warning whatsoever. Myself I have only seen such things twice before, and never like that. It was immediate, wildly dangerous and we were out in it for a moment as we were just turning the corner coming into the house. a

First everyone in my family got covid. It was horrible. We all had our vaccines so I cannot imagine how bad it would have been without them. One of us was vomiting all day and night long.
Second, my own health is already poor due to a long combination of numerous problems. They do not actually know what is wrong. There are like six titles to my issues, but at least for the moment what they all really mean is 'we cannot help you or your pain'

Sis and her husbands truck. they have never smoked in it. they go out and find something disturbing.. somehow, somebody had got in the truck.. smoked a cigarette, got ash all over the seat.. so some weirdo somehow got in our truck, smoked, ad left evidence they did so... and now it reeks of cigarette smoke. so everyone is kinda weirded out.. the only thing I can think is maybe the lock froze and did not go down when engaged, otherwise it is also always locked

A vicious windstorm just launched a full size barbecue across our whole yard. Jeese

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow....last night I suffered an instance of lockjaw, which is something I have on occasion since a very long time ago a back tooth came in straight sideways so I needed jaw surgery, but this one..felt like someone took a hammer to the side of my face. I was writing and just BLAM.. nearly fell out of my chair. My head is still panging off and on even now, oh dear heavens. Hehe

This might just be a little venting-ish. A good family friend died some time back. It was traumatic and horrible and it really struck everyone very badly. I myself did not know him too well, but I do know he was a great guy. It hit home very pointedly that bad things can happen incredibly quickly. It also highlights the point that one should not put off whatever one desires to try and do or they may not wind up doing it at all. His family is known to be unfortunately prone to serious health

Somehow both my main and my backup mouse managed to break in one day apart from each other. Haha. I did order one some time ago but do not know when it will arrive. I am using an extremely difficult to actually..use mini hold trackball which for some reason has buttons like, reversed or just plainly weirdly set making it even more hard to use. Hah
