RN DH came home with 4 gorditas from Taco Bell. The bag was really heavy for there to just be 4 little gorditas in there. Guess what it was? The kid at the drive up window put over 30 packets of taco sauce in the bag, and about a 1 inch thick stack of napkins. When I was a teen and worked at a fast food place, we would definitely get in a lot of trouble for wasting like that. No wonder the prices are getting so high.

RN, well if you use 7.5 packets of taco sauce per gordita, you'll need a 1/4 inch of napkins!

RN, 3 of the 4 bathrooms in our office have not been working since Friday afternoon. In order to fix them, all water has to be turned off, so we will not open until noon tomorrow. Yeah! I get a free morning! (and keep your fingers crossed that they're fixed by noon! LOL)

RN I have been fighting off the blues for a while now, and today it feels like I'm losing that battle. So many people I know and care about have REAL problems, that it's one more thing to beat myself up about.

RN, I'm so sorry, Mame. I think you're a beautiful person, and have often made my day with a funny quip. Your problems are real to you. You've got a long recovery to heal the pain of losing your mom. Your friends, that you know and care about, know and care about you, too. All of you will recover and see the sunshine again, especially if you band together and look for some sunshine. (I mean good stuff, if not actual real-life sun...it feels like it's been winter forever!!) Gentle hugs to you, Vin and your friends.

Thanks Y2K, much appreciated. I had a bit of posters remorse after posting, but since I tell others not to feel ashamed about depression, I decided to leave it. Thanks for the hug, it really is much appreciated. Glad the clubhouse is here for a bit of escapism and fun.

RN Thanks Suz and Chewi! Had a long chat by phone with our family doctor and feel somewhat better tonight. That's what I like about him, that he cares about our emotional as well as physical wellbeing. I'm prone to occasional anxiety attacks and I had a whopper earlier, but am better now. Your support means the world to me, thank you, Y2K, Suz, and Chewi!

RN...well actually a few minutes ago there was huge explosion in the distance. Big enough it made my mini blinds on the front bedroom window jump. Now I hear sirens in the distance. If anybody hears on the news about a meth lab or something exploding just outside KCMO, I heard it firsthand.

RN ...Mame, it must not have been anything horrible. There's nothing on the news about it. I am always on alert about these things. The first time my mini-blinds jumped while living here was for a major explosion at the gas facility in the mid 90's.

RN, Naja reminded me of a funny story when we were living in San Francisco. When one lives in San Francisco, if one hears a big boom, it is usually something quite dire and serious, like somebody blowing up their house making illegal fireworks. So, one night there was a bunch of big booms, and I got terrible worried about what was going on NOW. All of a sudden, I realized it was thunder. It almost NEVER thunders in San Francisco, lol.

RN, I'm freaking out because my house is a mess & my cousin just called and wants to drop by. I need to clean the kitchen! Yikes, am doing laundry. Did take a shower and wash my hair in her honor. Wow, I have been house-bound since January 18th & no one has been here in that time.

Sia, here's my best suggestion, wrap a bandana around your hair, grab a mop and pail, and make sure that there's a big pile of laundry nearby, and when your cousin shows up, say, I'm glad to see you but you picked a bad day cuz I'm knee-deep in housekeeping. That should leave the impression that you are an excellent, BUSY, housekeeper and that she can't stay long - unless she wants to help. LOL

RN, my grandson just invented a new word. He's mad at my son and told him "You're just a MEANIAC!" (Maniac with he word mean instead of man.) I'm not laughing at him or his behavior but that's a pretty cool word.

(((Sia))) I like Mame's suggestion. I no longer care much what people think of my housekeeping. I'm like you, I have severe arthritis plus a bunch of other crap, if people are going to judge me by the way I keep house, as far as I'm concerned they can stay home.
