    I'm going to BArnes and Noble. I can't take it anymore. I have to get out.  I'll be safe.  But I have to get out of this hell hole.

    And, me being me -- I went to Starbucks and got my drink, pull up to the window and they gave me a free cake pop because it was the manager's birthday.  The girl at the window pointed to the lady standing next to her.  

    I wished her happy birthday, I thanked her for the cake pop and then yes, i FRIGGIN' SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS TOTAL STRANGER STARBUCKS MANAGER LADY.  Every word of it.  I forced her to listen.  And I paused at the name part so she could insert her name.

    I could blame old age on these eccentricities -- but I can't.  I've done shit like this since I was a kid.  And by God, that's just how it is.

    Thank you. People are so afraid of being silly -- And, especially now, you never know how a little bit of silly kindness will help someone.

    This is why I think we would get along well in the 'real world'. 
    Being silly with strangers is my default setting, how else does a girl remain sane in a world designed to break her down?

    Sorry to be MIA for so long but FINALLY finished painting the condo (other than closets) last Thursday just in time for the new window & patio door replacement installation on Friday. Now have more painting to do where they added trim and patched the crack in the wall they made taking out the frame for the patio doors. Will need to get the texturing stuff as what they used to repair is smooth and walls are orange peel stucco. Unfortunately, they put in the wrong windows. They're supposed to slide both left and right but one pane is stationary.  No way am I going to be hanging out a second story window to try to clean the other side which is why I purposely ordered both sliding so I could remove them for cleaning.

    Today I'm going on a hike with my cousin to get outside. Have been cooped up for too long.

    Good to see you, M... you've been very busy! Sorry about the mess ups with the renovation, that's frustrating. 

    Hope your hike went well. 💜

    Am very happy I already had a massage booked for tomorrow because the hike was a doozy. We mistakenly followed the trail that took us the long way around and added nearly 2 more miles than we'd planned for. Yesterday I was whining to myself about doing a mile walk on flat ground and today it was 5.7 miles of up/down and rocky terrain. I'm feeling very self-righteous at having done it, though. :D

    Hi - missed a couple days here

    Got my hair done at my hairdressers house and now feel like a human being again. Then had a flat and was stranded at the side of the road. CAA said it might take hours to get there plus it was around minus 25.

    Long story short the hairdresser's hubby came out with a compressor and pumped it up (I had stopped about half a kilometre from their place when I heard the thumping sound).

    Cost about 25 bucks as it was something called a 'bead leak'

    Hope everyone is doing okay with this enforced isolation - stay safe and wear your mask!

    A leak in the bead seal occurs when water infiltrates the wheel and sits where the tyre and the rim meet. This area is called the bead seal area, and the metal slowly corrodes as the leak is created. Bead seal leaks are most prominent in alloy or aluminium rim

    ....I too had to take a bead leak once when I was out and about and I too pulled over to the side of the road.....(what?......ohhhhhh, "bead", not "bad").....never mind.......

    Definitely have TED but he said the surgery option was not on the table as it is not that bad. I was glad because the thought of surgery on my eyes scares me to death. For the dryness and redness, he said to keep using what I am using and he also gave me samples of 2 other otc drops. Definitely getting one of them, he put some in my eyes while I was there and they cleared right up and they still feel pretty good, almost 7 hours later. Will try the other one tomorrow. He said to use the gel kind especially before bed, because my eyelids do not close all the way anymore. 😔 

    The regular exam part was all good. Prescription changed some but I did expect that. Got some pretty new glasses ordered. 

    I am relieved but yet a bit disappointed. I was hoping there would be more I could do to help my eyes look better. But I can see. And beyond the TED, my eyes are healthy. The frog eyes bother ME, a lot. But, I think (hope) if I can get the constant irritation from the dryness under control, that may help some of the swelling that always seems present in my lids. And maybe if they aren't always so irritated, they will look a bit better, even to me.

    This is mostly good news Cat, I'm so relieved... I hope the drops/gel will bring you more comfort and help to reduce swelling.  Keep us posted...😊

    .....you are correct honey, get some of the irritation resolved and the bulge due to the inflammation will ease as well....and I think the gel idea is a sound one.....
