I almost said “Happy Friday” before realizing it’s not Friday yet.
My health/mobility has gotten bad enough that I can’t keep my home clean anymore by myself. Actually it’s been that way for awhile now, and I’ve taken a long time deciding what to do about it. Now that I’m officially categorized as disabled, I have a little bit to spend on hiring a housekeeper. I think once the place is really clean again, it will take away a lot of the anxiety and helplessness. So that’s a good thing. I’m looking forward to clearing out enough space so that I can actually use the wheelchair indoors (instead of hobbling around on the canes).
The downside is this:
Sometimes the thing that would keep me from suicide was being embarrassed that people would find me lying here in the middle of a mess.
After the mess is gone, I won’t have to be embarrassed about being “found”.

Happy Thursday?
It’s a tough situation… It’s good that through humour you can focus on the positives. Laughter and all that…
Take care.
Yes, happy Thursday to you too!
I’ve spent most of the day in bed because today’s one of those days when it hurts too much to walk.
BUT it’s still a good day because I tried some new Szechuan Peppercorn beef jerky and it is AWESOME.
Ooh, sounds delicious. In Australia we have kangaroo jerky… Skippy the bush jerky.
A few years ago there was a store near here that had kangaroo jerky, as well as rattlesnake jerky, alligator jerky, wild boar jerky, and ostrich jerky.
I tried them all, and if I remember correctly the alligator was my favorite.
The ostrich was a bit gamey, I think.
I can’t remember what I thought of the kangaroo!
😮
Seeing as I have a few kangaroos jumping around my property I haven’t been game to try it. It’s probably silly but I don’t really view them as food, more as pets, in reality though it’s no different to a eating chicken while having a few yourself for eggs. If I send some kangaroo pieces over to USA they will probably arrive as jerky… (jk) Your customers officers are fairly lenient right?
I though my neighbour had bought a drum kit because there was this incessant booming of the same note. I kept on thinking, congratulations you’ve mastered that note now incorporate the symbols. After a few weeks of this I found out that it was an emu and that the noise is a mating call. Glad I didn’t join the band.
Anyway, ostriches (and emus) eggs are massive, combine one ostrich egg with some ostrich jerky and you would have a complete meal.
LOL!
Yes, good thing you didn’t join the emu mating band.
Though if you did, you would surely have some good stories to share.
Either that or PTSD.
😮
Oh dear, at first I read this as emo instead of emu.
From what I understand, *their* mating sounds are completely different. 😉
Happy Thursday!
You have an awesome sense of humor, Cordless. I hope it helps in making things at least a little bit more tolerable for you.
Sometimes it’s all I have left, so yes!
I think humor helps.
I’m not sure that I would have made it this far without humor.
Somehow, I’m often able to crack a joke even when heck is happening.
