I’m laughing at this week’s photos because there are two photos of a
wound situation – what an exciting week!

The church picnic was lovely! Dr. M made the guacamole, which was delicious. I enjoyed the rest my rather yellow lunch (there are THREE kinds of potatoes on that plate), but the stars of the show were the angel food cake & peaches, and the banana pudding. Yum!

I tried to get a photo of my hearing aids, but this is the best I could do because you literally cannot see them in my ears.

Dr. M forgot that he ordered these hockey jerseys (sweaters) right after the Stanley Cup, so they were a nice surprise when they arrived. Bussi is the rookie* goalie we brought up who helped save our season and get us into the hockey playoffs & and then helped in the last few games of the cup. *He’s 28, so not that young, but he hadn’t played in the “majors” until we signed him.
Dr. M made a fabulous brisket! I loved his tomato “flower” with leftover guacamole – very artful.
I had a blister on the top of my foot from some new shoes & needed to cover it up so I could mall walk & I thought my jellyfish bandaid was terribly cute.
I had to have blood drawn for my nephrologist & by the time I got back to the office, the gauze was soaked through so my coworker decided to rebandage me & she went a little overboard. Made me laugh. Also, I got my blood work results back & my creatinine was 1.03, down from the high of 1.43 in June 2025 (the range is .5 – 1.00). That seems like a good trend.
I finished this book and it was so good. I got it from the library, but I’m thinking about buying my own copy so I can reread it. It’s about a junior high boy, set in 1969 in a small town in New York. Definitely a feel-good book (so perhaps unrealistic, but LET ME HAVE MY JOY WHERE I CAN FIND IT).
I had replaced this iPad lapdesk because it was leaking the microbead stuffing, but my new one (while fabulous) it a lot heavier & harder to manage with one arm. So I cut up an old t-shirt to add to the stuffing & then sewed it up. In the process, I remembered that I hate sewing (which is probably why I’m so bad at it). But at least now it doesn’t leak!
What did you do with your holiday weekend? Note: I’m speaking to Shoreacres,
because the rest of you bozos are retired!
