get by with a little help


A friend in KNEE’d 
Is a friend indeed. 


Helping a friend- with knee replacement. 
They send you home right away after surgery 
It’s crazy! And good to have a Nurse 
In your back pocket. 


My Mother’s favorite quote. 





My fee is as usual. 
One Monster drink please. 
Two, if it takes all day. 

Thank you very much!! 
We get by with a little help from our friends! 
And it helps that there will be dogs.

new year


Rets Ro, Raggie!


Cold finger issue


Nosey Rosie


Too late, Goofy




Bye Santa.
See ya next year 






About right. 
Where does the money go? 

Never has there been a year
A group of years
- From Covid till now -
As upside down as tho has been. 
Or is it just me? 



01 January 2025

old year


I had a profound experience. 
The Serenity Prayer:


The past can’t be changed. 
Most depression comes from the past. 
The future is as unreal as the past
In that it is only an image. 
Moat anxiety comes from the future
So the only place we can even experience 
Is the present moment. 

Serenity to accept the past 
Courage to change the future
And Wisdom to stay centered
In the present moment. 
A Course In Miracles calls it 
The Holy Instant 
Where there is no fear. 
No past. No future. 
Only awareness of God’s 
Holiness- all encompassing 
Untouched by time. 
Unshaken by fear. 
Only Joy is here. 
The Gifts the Holy Spirit
Shares with us through Gods Creation. 

Wow. That was deep. 


Devine sleep 


Shrimp kick 






In the bathroom 
There are ants SO THICK
They’re falling from the ceiling. 


A couple of the bit me 
Like a dozen huge bites- 
And guess what!!!! 
It somehow cured my headache! 

Is that even possible? 
lol. The more we know -
The less we understand. 



What ever is wrong with me
Is also SUS with Blogger. 
This was yesterday so…
Here it is today. 
A day late and a few 
hundred dollars short. 
Happy New Year to everyone! 


all is quiet


All is quiet 
On New Year’s Day 


Mewing is like a trend now
But it’s just Facial Exercises 
To get a more defined jawline. 

The kids say they can’t talk
Or participate in class. 
With a hand help up like “stop” 
They say they’re too busy mewing 
To answer any questions.
IN CLASS. 
 

That’s exactly how my kids are 
in nursing and home health. 
I asked one of them to give back a toy,
Instead, he dropped trow,
(He pulled down his pants) 
Turned around and started twerking
And said “This is MY house
And you don’t tell me what to do!”

That’s why I think when
 Nurses and teachers get old, 
It’s the technology that changed-
But also the people we serve. 


I never dreamed I would be here,
No raise for 35 years 
No cost of living increase 
They’re phasing out LVNS
Like Trump is firing Generals. 
Why? 
What’s the larger picture? 
More money? 
More control? 

And what of this? 
Oklahoma’s high school students 
Must now choose a pathway 
For “success “ after graduation. 


But what about people who want to work 
At Walmart or waiting tables 
Or be a stay at home mom? 
No gradation? 
And this comes from the GOP
The party who once resented 
Government overreach! 


Gotta make sure we sleep well. 
This is an anticholinergic 
That made me feel 
Way too drowsy this morning. 

My actual hair. 
The roots are darker at brown. 

DEFINITELY time for a hair cut. 


Someone called this phase of growth 
The “modern peasant”
Which is kind of true. 
They’re not wrong. 

I want to keep track of 
absolutely everything this year
And get really disciplined with my money. 

2025 will bring many changes. 
Welcome to the Fourth Turning! 
Lets Go!!
