Random Tuesday


 It's still Tuesday here, so I'm jumping in.  I have 50 minutes left!

I have been spending a lot of time with doctors and chatgpt-ing my medical records, so I actually understand my results before the doctor even calls me.  Chatgpt hasn't been wrong yet.  Obviously I just use it as a starting point.  The doctors have the experience and know what I need or don't need. I have had an Ultrasound.  Following that, a CT scan.  Now seeing a new gastroenterologist due mostly in part to my liver, And I will be referred to a urologist to help take care of my kidney stones based on where they are and how large they are.  So, if you're a praying woman, send some my way! To top it off, I have Covid - again, abd high fever like the first time.  And I just had the vaccine at the beginning of October!  I know they are just taking a stab at what they think the main strain will be, but  fat lotta good that did me!


  These things were staples in my home when we were sick.

Happy Random Halloween

 Happy Halloween!  Almost, anyway.  I won't be home to hand out candy this year, though.

I got even more disappointing lab results and ultrasound results this past week, and it's got me on edge.  Luckily, I can try to get my mind off it while we're on a Caribbean cruise.  And I couldn't be happier that my husband and I are being joined by my son and his fiance'.  Should be a vacation to remember! (As long as I can maintain my health situations for the next week.)  Then, back to real life with more tests and procedures.  It seriously sucks getting older.

But I'm going to TRY not to dwell on it right now.  Soon, but not right now.






This is a JOKE, people! Laugh!

Sunday Synopsis

Calico Confusion (Marjorie's Cozy Kitten Cafe #1)Calico Confusion by Katherine Hayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book one of Marjorie's Cozy Kitten Cafe series. It's very similar to the Sweet Baked Mystery Series which was a fun read. I love cats and kittens and cozy mysteries, so how can it go wrong? It can't!

The setting is Hanmer Springs, same as the Sweet Baked Mysteries, so I feel like I already know the town. Some of the characters seem familiar as well. Marjorie Hardaway, owner of the Cozy Kitten Cafe, is worried because a development company is building a rival cafe blocking the beautiful view she currently has now. In the midst of this drama, a murder occurs in the small community, and Marjorie's friend is a suspect. On top of this, an eligible bachelor makes an appearance.

There is a series of problems to solve, and Katherine Hayton will get them ironed out in this easy-to-read mystery with no graphic scenes, no swearing, and no cliffhangers. If you like kittens and cozy mysteries, this book will be great for you.

Better Late

 


Just couldn't pull my post out at all yesterday.  Appointments, disappointing lab results, getting ready to travel, blah, blah, blah.  I just didn't get it done.  But here it is.

Have you had any health scares recently?  Both my husband and I have.  It's been stressful.  And since I lost my kitty in February at age 17 years, I'm really missing her, and wanted to babysit my sister's cat while they go on vacation, but I can't.  My husband is allergic.  He put up with our cat, but he doesn't want to go on medicine again, so I can't babysit the cat for five days.😢

Let's just move right along...











Thanks for stopping by and have a great week. Wish me luck on my medical tests.  Please visit my friends at Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.
