Might have strained a muscle patting myself on the back this morning. On Monday night I had a senior moment forgetting that stringy things don't do well in garbage disposals and put a bunch of kale stems down. Result was the pipe got a clog and wouldn't drain on that side of the sink. Found a YouTube video yesterday for how to take the pipes apart and clean things out but didn't have time then. For whatever reason, woke up at 4:30 this AM but thought it was 6 so had plenty of time to attempt the project. An hour later all pipes put back together, clog was cleared, water is draining on both sides of the sink and no leaks. Can only imagine what that would have cost had I called a plumber.

Nurses and I don’t get along. One time I was in the hospital overnight and was incredibly hungry, could only have liquids, so I called and ordered myself a pizza. When it was delivered a nurse intercepted it. She made sure to hand the entire pizza to the other nurses and they came into my room to so I could watch them eating the whole pie up. Nurses are sadists!
....easy does it there old buddy......I know where things hurt......

Tony Magistrale teaches two classes on Steve's works, one on just the films and another on novels and films, at the University of Vermont. A bit of a commute but in New England. :)
LOL. Yes ma'am, I'm not sure if I'd be able to make classes on time, it's quite a drive...lol but almost worth trying...lol I hope you are well Ms. Mod.

Apparently sleep-deprived as I woke up at 4:30 AM yesterday and 3:40 AM this morning, so am blaming that for thinking I was responding to SwiftDog which was why the NE reference. :facepalm: I think a nap is on my agenda for this afternoon once I'm done here. All good with you? Behaving yourself with your health?

I'd ALMOST be willing to try to sit in on a class dedicated to Mr. King's works. How cool would that be? Assign me a term paper, give me a test, assign additional reading material..lol. I'm sorry you're not sleeping well, I hope you get that ironed out, getting off a sleep schedule messes with my head nowadays. Health wise, seem to be doing ok for the most part. My blood sugar has been running a bit high lately, but I haven't changed up my diet or walking schedule so I'm not sure what's going on, if it's a medication adjustment I might need or what. My diabetes is officially "controlled" as of last month so I'm a bit irritated that it seems to be creeping on my now..lol. Hoping this year will be much smoother health wise than last year, hard to imagine it being much worse..lol. I hope you have a good weekend ma'am. Stay warm.

Maybe they have an online class. :)

You, too, and I hope you get that figured out soon so you can get back on track. Keep up the good work!
