songbird's crazy world

Back in December 2024 I mentioned a  friend’s medical issues .  Just a year older than I am, she was living alone when she had a medical situation that landed her in the hospital, then in a rehab facility.  I don’t think I mentioned it, but our friend never went home, she went from rehab to assisted living.  Right now she’s back in rehab, she took a fall and broke her arm. She’s going to sell her house in a few months, there’s no point in keeping it when she’s physically unable to live in it,  Drew’s sister is still in a rehab.  She was supposed to be released to an assisted living facility, but she developed another medical issue. Wasn’t it just a few years ago we were dealing with these issues for our elderly parents? Go back a few years and you’ll see my posts about Drew, his sister and his elderly uncle.  I’ve reached an age where they automatically give me the “senior discount”.   When my grandmother was my age, she was an old woman — not jus...

  Coconut Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Coconut (1971) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . This month Saturday 9 will be tasty, featuring songs with food in the title. 1) This song is about a woman who complains of a belly ache. How's your tummy this morning? Pretty good, actually. I used to have all kinds of problems.   I was diagnosed with celiac disease about 3 years ago, which means I have to stick to a gluten free diet.

 Last night’s Mets game was rained out.  They’re playing a split admission doubleheader today, game one at 1:10 PM.  Since we can’t go, we’ll be able to exchange the tickets for another game. At least we found out before we left the house. And since I didn’t get to enjoy the gluten free chicken fingers at Citi Field, I had to figure out what to make for dinner. I thought about going to my yoga class.  I’d planned to miss class for the game, but with the game canceled …but the weather was predicted to be absolutely miserable, so I stayed home. Turns out the storm didn’t hit our area until later in the evening. Besides, we needed to catch up on House of the Dragon.    Fingers crossed for good weather Friday, we have concert tickets for Jones Beach.
