Whatever You Say

What is it about grandmothers that make you do things you don't feel like doing?
Cille: "You coming down today?"
Me: "Probably not, we just got back from taking Dad to the doctor and we had to wait over two hours so I'm pretty tired."
Cille: "Well, I wanted to go to the Dutch Treat and get some pies."
Me: "Okay, I'll take you."

Works every time.

    I can identify. There's not much point in arguing either. You will never win.

Maybe I'll Exercise

At my check-up the nurse practitioner asked if the neurontin I take helps. I told her yes, it helps my leg.

No  "How much alcohol do you drink?" Not enough Nurse: "Ok, you have to have at least one goal to on this list to improve your self care. Which one do you want to work on?" Me: "Oh geez, I guess I'll try to exercise more. Maybe."  I know I need to take better care of myself, I'm a chubby little monkey and my eating habits aren't so great. But COME ON exercising is about as exciting as watching paint dry and Chips Ahoy takes waaay better th...

Hospital Stay
