My dog had her 4th birthday and looked so cute I had to share. It was her 1st party with 4 people.

My mother pushed an empty wheelchair through our hotel in Las Vegas instead of using her cane. It was actually less disruptive than when she used a cane. When she used a cane it became an extension of her arm when pointing to things. Walking along the crowded corridors in Las Vegas, everyone walking beside of her would be stopped suddenly by the cane blocking their path.

I currently rinse twice a day with a vial of pulmicort in my Neilmed squeeze bottle. After years of chronic sinusitis and constant infections, I rarely have one anymore. I had lost my sense of smell and taste because of polyps and inflammation. I thought there would never be a solution because scientists needed to work on more important diseases. I also take OTC antihistamines and get allergy shots. But there has been a very positive impact on my life from the rinses.

I've seen people in movies taping icebags to their clothes (or skin but don't recommend that) so it rested on the needed part of their body. Maybe that would work. I have quite a collection of different types in my freezer some which stick by themselves.

I reread "Hawaii" by James Michener this week. I used to read it once every boring summer vacation in high school because it took a long time. That was about 58 or so years ago. Anyway I enjoyed it this time too.

Oh I forgot. There is an internet site named "Stop you're killing me" that has a lot of information about different types of mysteries, what new books are being published, comparable authors and other information.

I like Rhys Bowen. She had written quite a few historical series. Because I mainly buy the less expensive books to read on my Kindle I haven't read her Constable Evans mysteries because they never seem to be discounted but I started with Her Royal Spyness series which about a young woman who is 34th in line for the throne. It takes place when David is the heir to the throne. I also read her Mary Murphy books and many of her stand-alones. I loved In Fairleigh Field set during WWII. A new to me series I started is by Alice Castle (Beth Haldane mystery.) One of the things about the book that appeals to me is her use of British words that I look up although usually can tell their meaning through the context.

I did that too in Downton Abbey but eventually I could forget it and like the doctor. I see actors from Highlander now and then in other roles and I enjoy that. When I watched Highlander no one else I knew watched it. I even had a calendar at work and the only time it was mentioned was when someone said Duncan had a good dancing position.

I finally reset my clock to standard time and then noticed I had also reset the temperature it shows to Celsius. I might have to break out the directions but instead went with it and had a cup of English Breakfast Tea and looked upon it as a learning experience.

There is a new season of most of the original cast starting yesterday. There is also supposed to be a new episode this evening. The Hailstones weren't on last night so maybe they will be on tonight.

Why do they play that loud music when Ricko, his daughter, but especially me are listening for the moose we are tracking? (I know they are only playing the music for the show but I find myself straining to listen for the moose too and the music is annoying.) They also took too long to show Jessie's dog and I was worried about her but then saw her sitting in the truck.

21 Vials of Blood!! Wow. How long did it take? I once had a port to get blood when I was in the hospital and I doubt they took that much. (I loved the port because getting blood is almost always a challenge.) My husband was very impressed at 21 vials also.

I'm worried about going back to the theater. I have already paid for season tickets in my small city and even for shows postponed from the last season. I am retired and really don't go out much. I've gone to grocery stores, the dog park, and doctors. Last year not even that. The theater will require vaccination proof and masks but I still am nervous about everything. Shows are supposed to start soon. There are some I don't care about that I will probably skip but some I'd like to see. Any advice?

After reading this forum, I watched most of the episodes yesterday. (The news is so depressing I can't watch my usual 4 hours a day.) Anyway, I saw an commercial for (maybe) something political about affordable medicine. I thought the man in the commercial who said he had to ration his insulin was the same guy maybe in the first episode where he said his wife wouldn't eat so they could afford the right food for his diet.

On Kindle Daily Deals, the Vuolo's book is $3.99. The majority of reviews are good but this is not a book for me.
