My sister living in Vermont swears there were fairies in the woods outside her home. Of course I agree.🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️
Tiny dancing lights
Fairy wings’ glimmering shine
Rare gift of nature
Snow sparkles add to the scene
Sun glows with tiny creatures

Since I posted a rant with a clip from this movie, thought I’d put it here. “Network”.

Like a pot of stew
Basking in yesterday’s high
Decided to open my mail
How many services and bills are related to a colonoscopy I ask?
Six months later I am still getting bills from the anesthesiologist, the doctor, the lab, the nurse, the receptionist, the lab assistant, the janitor and the doorman. . .just kidding, there was no doorman.
I was bullied into getting this test in the first place by well meaning, caring family and let’s face it, I caved. First, the whole prep thing is totally disgusting, tiring, and how long can a person actually sit on a toilet seat and remain awake or not be in pain?
The test itself was a piece of cake. The doctor said come back in six months. . .uh huh.
I said the prep caused vomiting which is my least favorite activity in the world and he casually sits there and says, oh, well I could give you medication for that.
What? And how come I wasn’t given this before, six months ago? Of course I didn’t actually say that. Sometimes it takes me a while to process something incredible.
So now the high of yesterday is waning fast. The bills are part of it. Receiving a coupon payment book from Well Care topped it off. My former EFT of 15 dollars to cover prescriptions which I don’t have, but need**in case I ever do need a scrip is now $16.75 and I have to mail it in? I dont mail. Most of the time in the winter I can’t even get to the mail. I use the bank electronic fund transfers that come out automatically or pay by phone. That way I can do it quickly, don’t need to have stamps handy and everyone’s happy.
So this means another call, wait on hold, to ask what’s up with the changes. I haven’t even used the $15.00 monthly prescription insurance the whole year, so why the increase?
Wait, I haven’t looked to see if Trump’s signature is on the bottom of the bill. . .

**How much insurance does anyone need “just in case”? Ripoff!
Okay kids, who can tell me the meaning of this word?
I-m-p-e-r-i-o-u-s?
And please, let’s keep your answers serious.
No Star Trek fans saying, Kirk, Tiberious
Even though that’s a bit hilarious.
***
Okay let us settle down and think
Is there someone in the news that is notorious
Acting slightly spurious,
Could be called inglorious?
Open your dictionaries.
***
Yes, an app will do
See all the spelling words, too
Read the definitions,
Then think who?
***
Who can you think of that stands out well
Often acting out imperious well
No, the vocabulary words are the hints, and I cannot tell
Think on it yourself, let your mind dwell
***
It really is not so mysterious, yes it is a male—
Add deleterious, any ideas?

Amazing what people sell as new.
Iced waves ever move
Washing the red stony shores
Fog adds to the chill.
Entering the lounge
My heart starts to pump at your profiled vision
Seeing you still, as in a lone portrait sitting
My eyes blink as if to check if you are real
And then I see it
The shimmer of a large ring, crystal stone shining
On your left hand, draped as if to show it’s done
There is nothing left to fix now.

Yesterday was a busy day. I expected my grandson at 7:15 so was up at six getting shower, etc. He spent the day with me and it was fun. He took down some Christmas glass balls we had put over the window but forgot to take down on his last visit. Then he redid the floor twice. I thought his strength applied to the mop would do it.
If you remember the flood I had from the apartment above me and that water combined with the snow salt the maintenance people tracked in was still showing up on my floors. I had regular mopped it once and when dry, looked like I hadn’t done a thing. Then I bought a Swiffer scrubbing as hard as I could and used that all over twice, no luck. Jesse used the Swiffer with more strength, still the white stains did not budge. We then decided to use a separate all purpose cleaner spray first, let it soak and then scrub. It is now faded enough to just look like the floor has dust spots, or a well used ice rink. It reminds me of those birthday candles that you can never blow out!
We watched two movies, made a pot roast, took out the trash, got the mail, played Denveropoly, cards, and most importantly laughed a lot. We tried to put politics on hold because we can really get into it, but we wanted to remain upbeat.
Have you ever played any of the spinoffs of Monopoly? As he set it up he explained that his sister won’t play with him anymore because he’s ruthless–well he met his match and I won, yea for me! But I would rather not play it again, it’s another change and I don’t care for the ones they’ve made to Monopoly. As far as card games went, I was not my usual lucky self and lost almost all of them! Dang!
About eight p.m. we decided to snack out on Cinnamon Toast Crunch and watch a movie. It was great fun! Nothing bolsters my psyche like a visit from grandchildren.

Joe dragged his head off the bar and plopped his side cap on the tousled mop he thought was his head. Jack muttered, “what the heck?” as he looked at Joe. The barkeep said, ” that was the last call, boys” and watched the two old veterans stagger onto the early morning street. Just another night completed, telling stories of WWII.

Huh? Where is everybody?
I distinctly remember they said we’re all meeting at Joe’s Bar! Man this sucks!
Now what am I going to do with four large “old slipper special” pizzas?
