I sure haven't been blinded by the sun today. The streets got wet now and then but no rain to speak of. Now it looks like Sunday may be the magic day for rain.
I finally visited the dental office that my daughter and her family go to, and discussed my situation and made an appointment to get started on dental work. I think that is what is ultimately causing most of my physical problems and it's time to take care of it. I know I'm going to lose some lower molars but so be it.
The lady at the desk told me that she had Donald make a birthday cake for her son, and that it was an incredible work of art, plus tasty as well. They also had my name in their system from back when I was visiting CA from NC a number of years ago. Sometimes doctors and dentists can't take new patients, so I feel good about getting an appointment. I've already filled out the paperwork and was told if I have any pains in the meantime, to call night or day. Donald's mother also goes to this dentist and her name is Martha, so I will have to get them to call me Marty - I guess Gypsy wouldn't be appropriate in this case!
I can't imagine what it will be like to get some energy again - I'm looking at having to do a major housecleaning if that happens, just in time for spring.
Thanks to the readers who commented on yesterday's post regarding contributions to charities. It's a shame when good people are taken advantage of by scammers who don't care about helping anyone but themselves.
Personally I am a complete sucker for a homeless vet with a sign at the street corner. I know that most people will say it's not a good idea to give them money, and maybe it isn't. But I keep a supply of $1 bills in my wallet and if a guy looks to be close to my age and probably a Vietnam vet who is homeless, then I don't care. And once that $1 leaves my hands I don't know or care what they do with it - that is their issue and it's passed beyond my control. If I was homeless I might drink it or smoke it, and I won't ever judge a down-on-their- luck person in that situation.
Well I may have stirred up some controversy on that subject, so fire away at me, but please be nice about it.

I drove over to Jeannie's this morning for coffee and some tasty cookies. We sat around and worked the NY Times crossword puzzle, and talked about getting an assembly line together to make tamales. It would be so much easier than one person...

Well we did get some rain, and at 4pm the streets are wet again. I'm going to meet Jeannie & Donald at the gym in about 2 hours, and I'll be driving both ways in the dark. I hate that. It's also chilly, about 61 degrees,...

I really like this dentist and am so glad I selected him to do my dental work. Jeannie & her family have been patients there for years, and Donald has wowed the entire office with a cake he made for the Office Manager. So when Joe walked...

I visited the dentist this morning and had extensive xrays taken; then he did a very complete examination and came up with a recommended treatment plan. I have had difficulty with my lower molars and thought I would just have them pulled and get...
