songbird's crazy world

 Well, we’re almost a month into baseball season …and the Mets are already disappointing me. Sigh. I’ll be watching The Voice  tonight.  The two artists I really liked made the finals, and I hope one of them wins. I used to be a huge fan of a TV show, The Biggest Loser.   It was a game show where contestants had to lose weight, and the one who lost the most weight won money.  It was  very entertaining, lots of drama.  And I was watching the show at a time when I was also (unsuccessfully) trying to lose weight, so there was an element of envy involved.   I came across a video the other day that explains why the show was actually horrific and dangerous to the contestants, I’ve done well on Wegovy. GLP-1 medications are a game changer. The weather today?  SUMMER.  I’m not joking, it’s in the 70’s today. Nice weather to take a walk.  I’ve put my winter coats away.   Lots of birds in my yard, and the cats are going crazy watching th...

 Grrr…heath insurance…I’ve got issues with pre authorization again.  Guess they don’t understand “continuity of care”… looks like I may have to pay for Wegovy out of pocket for awhile ..ugh … I guess it’s really spring.  We took down the heavy winter curtains and put up the sheer summer curtains. The cats are loving it, they get better views of the yard — they’re real bird watchers. Landlord says she’s going to remove that useless swimming pool and put down grass.  I’m looking forward to a nicer yard. I took a walk the other day and saw this in the middle of the street. I’m trying to figure out how it got there. Everything is starting to bloom.  I love this time of year.  Even if it means buying more Claritin. Welcome home, Artemis II. Space exploration — the Apollo moon missions - was a big deal when I was a little girl. Nice to see how important it has become again.  When we visited the Kennedy Space Center in 2016 our tour guide practically gushed o...

  Apr 13th    tomorrow marks the anniversary of the Titanic tragedy 114 years ago. With that in mind, build your song picks using ships, icebergs, big band music, … for your playlist this week. Sailing?  That’s an easy one.

 

  r and Lace 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: Leather and Lace (1981) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . 1) As you answer these questions, are you wearing leather, lace, or both? Neither at the moment.  I wear leather shoes and leather belts frequently. I’ve got a couple of lacy items in my wardrobe but I don’t wear them often. Now, if you’re using leather and lace as symbols, like in the song … I think I’m a combination, conventionally feminine in many ways, but strong like leather when I have to be. ...

 More from the living room. What happens when you leave a winter coat on the coffee table? And yes, she has discovered my portable closet. My workout buddy (Please excuse the clutter.)
