@DaveMcK , you will be amazed how how much clearer and more vibrant everything will look after your cataract surgery. I have had it. The biggest PITA for me was the weekly schedule of eye drops. I actually recall on only one follow-up visit after I had each eye done. Piece of cake.

@SummerOnTheWay1 , iOS 16.7.1 is the latest update for iPhones, I'm assuming same for iPad systems. Usually, iOS will update automatically unless you have turned off that setting. Electronics can be our friends if we don't let them intimidate us. 😁

@SummerOnTheWay1 , so I assume your iPad is capable of using cellular data. You don't use WiFi? Or maybe it's because you don't have WiFi? Depending on how much data you get, I would imagine your iPad would use it up quickly. I also assume you get your data through your daughter's plan? I believe I also read that downloading updates via cellular data is automatically turned off on iPads; you have to enable it, and it is recommended you use 5G. But if you have limited data, you may not be able to download a mega-gigabyte update.

My knee is doing fine.🦵 Kicked my butt for a couple of days and then, it was good.

Sadly, Armani is gone. 😿

@MsStretch ...My Licorice was a black cat. We loved this time of year. 😸

As for tomorrow's "round 2"...Eagles vs Commanders, you guys may do it this time. We have a few injuries. 😾

Community Champion ⭐

@catwoman500 , not so sure the Commanders will do it. They just lost two games to 2 of the worst teams in the NFL. 😧 Although they do seem to get fired up for the better teams, but the Bears and Giants? Come on. 🤦

Community Champion ⭐

@MsStretch ...This should be interesting then! 🏈

Picture May suggest how my week began, presently 27 * from a low of 22*.Yes, I did manage to sit in front of woodstove.

How are you doing Mainer Lee, took awhile for my headcount’s.And for my annual flu hits to come and go,3 weeks in heck.There is a pm function here if my feeling is correct, news and flat out with flu or ? Had me wondering. It is small state afterall.

Snow melted while I was unconscious, good thing only awoke to glazed over puddles., watched kids skating 6 feet on puddles, my clue to wait abit. Awoke to firewood on porch, neighbor is aware when I disappear there’s a reason.

Time for bed and more PT, my back is screaming for the moment, I’m not 40 anymore firewood to woodbox in a cart can be a PITA by 3rd load.Have to keep telling myself that when I accept rides, sit don’t try to swing leg into Buick 6” from ground.

There’s a reason I have new mantra, hope all are getting over their aches and pains.Next week Covid and RSV vaccinations with luck .

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

My (Baerskin work hoodie) has my Froze

nickname embroidered on them.. I’m not into

transport until back is healed, at least 80%.

Can’t always get a Cessna (small aircraft)

call a friend. So that won’t happen anytime soon.

But, odder things have happened met AARP virtual

Members thrice in DC , IL and FL while traveling through airports.

@Frozenoem ...With you in spirit, Froze. Long time back issues for me. Right now, on a dose of prednisone; back X-rays on Monday. Back pain may have led to the discovery of the diverticulosis!

Who first said, "Old age is not for sissies"?

Hang in!

@catwoman500 , the only time I will ever root for the Eagles is when they're playing the Cowboys. So hopefully, Philly keeps it going against Dallas. 🤞

@Frozenoem , one day at a time, huh? Remember when they used to warn us about all those old injuries coming back to haunt us when we're older? They weren't kidding.

@SummerOnTheWay1 , the kids have sheltered heated kitty beds. There's only two now (both OG) although there are toasty accommodations for 4. Plus there are plenty of other spaces including a basement under my place where the door stays cracked for entry. (I'm sure it houses an occasional coon and possum, too.) A couple of igloos -- one with straw, the one on my deck has a heated kitty pad with bed. This will be their 7th winter here. Gawd, I can't believe we've had them that long. Yep, they're bonafide family now. 😺😸

@MsStretch

I’m aware of it, just can’t believe it at 60-65 age? Had no trouble with snowshoes, 9 mile hikes and 60£ backpacks into camp if I forgot the key to gates or mud season had closed the road in & out.

32* tonight and stove is burning cheerfully away, my spine is semi-happy 500* is nice. PT involves wood cart vs orange and green bands.

Time to feed fire it counts as PT knee squats, going down and back using wood cart, beats crawling to couch.Might be time for tuneup on pacemaker winded at - mere 2 miles.

@SummerOnTheWay1

When in doubt about abbreviations, google them to translate. OG May be original gangster, or someone

who has Stretch wrapped around their dew claw, really good at what they do.

Woohoo! My cannoli’s are ready for filling, decided this

time I’d pipe into shells vs straight down my throat.

Oh my goodness, I just realized my MICROWAVE has the WRONG TIME. 😱

Yes, got to MANUALLY RESET TIME 😭

Finally did it JUST NOW and feeling proud of myself = looked at CLOCK/lol 😂🤣

Anyone else MESSED up MANUAL resets? 🤔 I had set Microwave 1 HOUR AHEAD instead of BEHIND. 😱

Will deal with the other Old Lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra) on WEDNESDAY for WALMART. Her CLOCK is a pain in my b.tt. Lol, I have a NOTE on my PURSE to do this. 😎
