I try not to let the everyday crap drive me nuts😄.  I was picked up yesterday to shop for produce at the King Soopers store.  We had one a half mile away in Lakewood, CO and I miss going there.   

The grocery clerk told me I wasn’t sitting right on the cart and that’s why it kept jerking and stopping. That’s after I was stuck in line at the checkout — to the consternation of the people behind me🤬🙄. I guess it didn’t occur to her I can’t feel my butt and that’s why sitting “correctly” never occurred to me. She said I have to have my butt way back in the seat, which being a person with short legs is not easy. Who knew?

All in all a nice day and a larder full of delicious produce. We had a laugh or three about the cart. I think some people do not realize they are a necessity at times and just because you look perfectly healthy when not in your wheelchair, you may not be able to walk. I hate those carts as much as you do, believe me. They are slow, not easy to navigate and most people grab their kids in fright when they see you coming! Nah, just kidding, although it has been done.😎Maybe it’s me and not the conveyance!🙄😂

Here we are again and I have a movie for you that I watched this weekend: “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” I had not heard of Lee Israel. It is based on her true story and very interesting. Starring the underrated (in my opinion) Melissa McCarthy, also Richard Grant, as the main fascinating flawed characters. Remember to watch the credits!

Endless rows of empty boxes

Sepia toned life

I checked many, but filled none.

A new Prompt by Paula:

Okay, it is Monday but being retired, it’s just like any other day in the week to me. I do sympathize with the rest of you, though, but I’ve been there. The best thing about working for me was interaction with people and having to be very organized. Loved it!

If I have a peeve today, it is WordPress. This app on my phone refuses to recognize me even after entering the same name and password multiple times. So if you get a blue head with no name as a like or comment, it’s probably me. I am no tech head and rely on my grandchildren if I need help.🙄🤓🤪

Love-felt desire

Sometimes fierce combination

Produces fever

Each day after her initial appointment, Julie looked at herself in the mirror completely nude, trying to move this way and that, turning to the side, looking over her shoulder, but she still couldn’t find them. Julie was looking for those fat cells the plastic surgeon was telling her she needed to have removed. Yes, he was gorgeous, young and new to the medical staff, but he had no clients.

Julie was hardly delighted when after a consultation, Dr. Gorgeous showed her a closeup photo of the fat cells he saw under a microscope. Julie was devastated, but when she went home, she was hard put to see where those extra fat cells were. The doctor did one legitimate operation as an intern, collected the fat cells, photocopied and used them indiscriminately on unsuspecting clients.

Luckily Julie decided she would wait on having the improvements Dr. G recommended.

The two men packed quickly, their flight was leaving in an hour. Joe mentioned this was a whole new air flight. Minimum seating with minimum cost. Mike was so excited. It had been a while since he’d flown. It was just too expensive and annoying on a crowded plane.

They arrived at the station and only saw chairs lined up, but were ushered into them. As they tried to imagine what type of flight this actually was, a steward came by to collect their boarding passes.

“Now, all passengers must be buckled in and remember, do not look down!” The two men exchanged nervous glances as the invisible jet took off. All went well until the landing. The pilot did not think of the new plane’s vulnerable structure as he botched the landing, hitting the tarmac too hard.

Jim’s subject this week is: Floor/House/Roof/Walls

My first thought was “Four Walls” sung by Jim Reeves, one of the great old time voices.

What a morning Linda thought as she made the bed. She softly, lovingly smoothed the blankets over the top. In her mind, he was still there, even though he had been gone for over ten years.

I remember many good times on this bed she thought, and horrible ones. I was sitting on the edge of this bed during the 9/11 attacks, waiting for my husband to finish getting ready for work.

The depths of Linda’s mind remember the good, the happiness and the sorrow while resting on this bed, waiting for sleep to come.
