As the world turns...

 It sure the hell is turning away from the US of A!

Captain Cuckoberry has made us the laughingstock of the entire world. It astounds me that nothing seems to be able to end this insanity. The lower courts keep ruling against him, and yet, he persists! Like a damn mosquito on a hot summer evening, he keeps on just being out of reach from being smashed.

Anyway, besides trying to avoid the news, but always seeming to catch that orange blob on the TV, I've been away from a computer screen and only using my phone for texting and the occasional phone call. The MITM has been busy in hothumidsunnycoastalafrica, and sends his regards to all y'all! The time difference makes it easy for him to read blogs, but I don't think he ever comments. But then, he also never comments here, so there is that. I've been dogsitting while super nana has been away, and I swear, it's been like having a toddler again! Rockett (that's her name) follows me everywhere. I wonder if she thinks I'm lonely or if she's lonely and wants to stay close? No clue, but it's been interesting. super nana calls her the Velcro dog! 


What have y'all been up to? I'm off now to catch up on blog reading. xoxo

Almost a month (ok, so not really, but the drama of the statement, sugar!!)

 Well, as we left off in the last post...

The MITM is once again in deepestdarkestafrica, except this time it's more like hothumidsunnycoastalafrica, or as he likes to say, "a much less hostile environment," but still on the continent, just a different part. Thanks to modern technology, he didn't miss the first NFL preseason game, which, if you know anything about him, is rather important. He was excited to tell me that in addition to the game, he found out that Drew Brees is going to be inducted into the (American) Football Hall of Fame. Yes, it's the little things that make being away from home a bit more palatable. Real work starts next week, so I am glad he has a bit of enjoyment beforehand.

I've finished OT for my hand and have been given a series of exercises that will strengthen my hand and ward off any additional problems. The neat thing about them is that I don't need any equipment, just things we have at home already! Picking up coins and pushing them through a small opening or buttoning a duvet closed. I have to admit closing my button-fly jeans has become a lot easier! Anyway, simple things have become part of my exercise routine these days, including using the computer, just as long as I take breaks. I'm seriously thinking about adding a G&T to break times. 

I tried getting around to visit a few of y'all today and will return to regular visits immediately, if not sooner!
