money for nothing


The kids came in hollering 
“The toilet is smoking!”
Womp womp. 










I will never again work 14 days
In a row like this. 
There’s no law against it. 
And I’m well-rested. 
BUT no thanks 


I spent the night away from home 
To be closer to work. 
And this magic happened. 


I bought a robot  cat feeder. 
It’s like a Roomba. 
About that size and shape. 
A little door opens up 
To expose the food.

The tags on the outside. 
lol. 

So for my next trick

turkey day


AI Robot to feed the cats. 


Fill the tray, it stays fresh 
For 72°. The door opens,
And the tray rotates
To give them their meals. 


I tend to eat the same thing. 
Every day. For years. 
First hamburger. 
Then salad. 
Then shrimp. 
Now it’s this. 
It’s not all that good. 
But it’s hot and it’s  a meal. 


All my batteries went dead 
At the same time. 
Phone. Watch. Alarm. 
and my own personal battery. 

I try to stay in a range. 
Last year and now. 
I’m a successful Low Carber! 
Despite my very casual approach. 

But recently - it hurts to say 
But I’ve shrunk an inch! 
I was always 5’2” with shoes. 
That was my Army weight. 
After my knee injury 
That knocked off 1/2 inch 
And now… I really am
Barely 5’1”. 
Which means o get less weight 
Of the charts! 
This probably explains
 how I can look great at 145
But at 155 I look like I never started. 
Ahhh the Aging Atkineer!

Allergic to Turkey. 
So same food different day. 

Working over 100° this week. 
This will be the last time I do this. 
I am tired and a whipped 
And have a scratchy throat. 
They don’t have enough nurses 
To go around.

taxi-ing up


Had a contest to see
Which kids make the best Yield Max poster. 


Kinda like life. 





Mmmm burned garbage food! 

So all the ducks are trained. 
They’re ready to go. 
Let’s GoOOOOO!

countdown to…


They’re on bathroom duty,
but the tile is just too cold. 


Guess who found the cameras! 


Well… future money is good. 


Eat right and it helps. 
Yes. Croutons. Chicken Caesar. 
I have about 50 carbs a day. 
Or more. Not more than 100 in a day. 


I finally told the family
About the little plan i discovered 
With the Yield Max ETFs. 
And he stopped what he was doing 
And changed all his horses
 in mid stream. 


This is how I sleep at night with money
And other peoples money 
In training. 



lol now that I’m “old”
I have to watch the jowls and 
Turkey neck!  lol.

getting ready


This is how I feel. 
Excited and scared. 


But more excited than scared. 


Two men of the house. 
They love Mommy. 
And sleep all over me! 
And o love love love sleeping with cats. 



When you work on someone’s house 
They don’t always operate on 
OSHA standards. For instance. 
It’s 95° in summer and 59° in winter. 


The kids made a shrine to BamBam. 
They just love him - now that he’s gone. 
I think they loved the idea of him. 
The reality of a cat is too much. 

Peeking out trepidatiously. 
I work 7 days. Which means 
Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri
Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed. 
Which means 100° hours a week 
when you count driving and giving report. 
🤪 
You’d beat know it’s going into my 
Mad Max Fund. Yield Max.

Watched a film 
The Falcon In San Francisco. 
The dogs name was Diogenes. 
What a coincidence. 








For the first time in my Nursing career,
 I can barely stand it. 
I used to wonder how nurses got like this. 
Ot just happens.  
Like falling down. 
I picked a job that is too hard for me. 
Data Entry? That would be fine with me. 
Data doesn’t fight and scream and  kick.
Data does say you’re old or fat.  
I’m utterly defeated. 
The only thing that is keeping me going 
Are these funds 
And the distraction they provide.

yield max


Well crap. 
BLOGGER is upset. 


All my words went away. 
Just gone. 




Nasty water leak 




New water heater with a 
Drain pan and shut off. 



At last we have hot water again!
