WTF-Beta

Welcome home! Glad re-entry went smoothly. Get some rest!

I’m guessing you went out the back door. I do a lot of things on autopilot, too! And wonder how I got where I got…

Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé!

So great for both of you!

Knees (and hips) are tough! You can’t not use them. @wtg hope you’re feeling better soon.

I was away during the week (San Diego, where the weather is always perfect) for a teaching gig, so today was catch up. I watered the lawn and garden while it was still relatively cool out. Sat at the backyard table and finished some knitting. Ordered groceries for pickup tomorrow (Mr. AM will pick up.) Came back inside!

Ran through some stuff on guitar; I’m singing with a small group tomorrow for a friend in Memory Care. Finished corrective edits to an upcoming pattern. Now it’s time for gin and tonic. Guess I should make dinner!

@CHAS Were you on a landline?

We have lots of bunnies roaming through the neighborhood, and the back yard. I’ve named them all Mr. Bun. Doesn’t matter if it’s male or female; I can’t tell. Hello Mr. Bun!

Nice, but not aimed at me. I don’t feel the need for constant tech upgrades.

So small. So soft. So CUTE!

They need to work on their messaging.

I’m so sorry, Mark. Yes, dementia is cruel, both to the patient and to their loved ones.

@Daniel. I’m not sure it backfired. The wretchedness and the cruelty are the point. They want to terrify the immigrants, legal or not.

@Daniel. I was trying to find just the right emoji for my post to you, but none of them were quite right!

@Daniel. I don’t think you’re her target audience!

if I’m eating at Kann, I’m going to want the real thing for that much money. (We enjoyed our dinner there last year but it was super spendy.)

And this seems to be the ultimate processed food. I’m not interested. Mr. AM wants to try it, though.

@wtg That’s a great story. I’ve read in many places that dementia patients can sometimes sing, even when they can’t talk. The power of music lies so deeply in memory.

My MIL is in memory care; they have music therapy/singalong on a regular basis. I don’t know if Mom sings or not, but she seems to enjoy it.

I’m planning to go with a small group to sing at a congregation member’s memory care facility in a couple weeks. We’re practicing next week, going the following week. I restrung my guitar in anticipation of this and one other gig in July. (I’m a very rudimentary player; guitar is just meant to keep me singing in key!)

We’ll always need electricians and plumbers!

Amen.

@AndyD Those blue prongs are interesting!
