Not the Best of Days

 One




I am dealing with a Rat infestation.  The Condo Assoc. will most likely take action to mitigate it.

BUT THIS!

I checked my guest bathroom this morning.  There was rat scat on the floor.  And one of these wily creatures had feasted on some hand soap.

No idea how it got into the bathroom.  Maybe via the toilet bowl?  But there was no trail of water.

One friend suggested that the rat had been on a cleansing mission, in prep for a colonoscopy.

Another friend ventured that a junior rat had used foul language whereupon its mother had said "wash your mouth with soap".

Helpful suggestions eh!?

I have been without central air conditioning for 24 hours. I have a contract with a service and repair Company. They are "snowed" with emergency work but had hoped to get to me today.

Faint hope! It'll be 2:00  p.m. on Wednesday before I get to the top of their list.

I won't sweat it for I have no other choice.

Some standing and overhead fans make it bearable.  

In the meantime I call to mind that on a world scale central AIRCON is a luxury.

I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
