A proper spanking only begins when you wish it would stop! This is my daily journal of my life, married to my Dominant wife, Mistress Contrary Merry, and living in a poly house, along with Her alternate personality, Sunshine, and Her partner-in-crime, Stitch, with frequent appearances by Her second-youngest son, Babyman.

I took M to Kaiser to get refill on Met.
While she waited, I went to vet to get refill on M-something, I gel that Stitch uses on Missy's hot spots.
Back to Kaiser for M, then Albertson's for some shopping, not a full blown everything trip, but enough, and home at 15:00
Later, much later, close to midnight, M tried to get off couch unaided, and fell on floor between couch and table. I tried to pull her up by hands/arms, which hurt her bad shoulder so much, she cried. Finally, with Stitch behind her, got her up and on couch, got her to take Nappy for pain...
went to bed 2 a.m,, watched another FBI epi, and sleep after 3.
I took Merry to Target in LA16 to see Lee; together they would go visit Eve.
I shopped a little, and went home, waited for her to call.

after 30+ days of renting a car,
new (to us) car acquired with Bus's help:
2020 VW Passat
Picked Rob up at work, 23:15
got broadsided on the way home: car totalled,Rob out of work.
I took Merry to train station in ... Downey??
She rode to .... stay with Trish a few days,
Carl's Jr for dinner
got a Covid test, prior to an upcoming procedure.
They called me, later with results ...negative
Merry went to the Thai place on Pacific, brought home hot n Sour soup for me.
Buddha had previously gone missing a few days, and just as mysteriously returned, but not looking good at all.
Merry took him to 24 hr vet hospital.
Vet said, it looked like he was hit by a car... internal injuries, and it was 'too late'.
RIP Buddha
My notes say, "potluck at BOD". I don't know if Merry went.
My appt at Kaiser Neurology for what seems to be Essential Tremors.
I strongly disliked this woman dr.
Merry to Oak Munch
Mary and Stitch went to a shelter, two days prior, made the adoption, and today, MISSY COCO entered our home.
(female pitty/labrador)
Nothing but LOVE from this one.
Well, with humans.
Time has shown she won't get along with other animals.
We turned in Panda to the LB Animal Shelter (because she still treats Babyman like an intruder).
As of this publication date... Mary has checked the website, and Panda is still there.
😢😢😢
I went to HearUSA ... acquired hearing aids, and a debt of $220 / month, for a year.
Mary went to OC Munch, that night.
Panda bit Babyman.
Not enough to draw blood (maybe a drop, it's been too long to remember); no (serious) damage, but enough to show that Panda refuses to coexist with Babyman.
I visited Kaiser, ENT.
after an exam, I was prescribed, whatever they prescribe for ear canal scratches.
I went to Kaiser for ear-cleaning.
Because I tried some home cleaning myself, they discovered blood in one ear canal. So, referred to ENT.
My first visit to Hear USA.
The tech there told me that my ears were too clogged for a proper fitting of aids
I went to see audiologist at Kaiser, confirmed that I had enough hearing loss, that hearing aids would be beneficial.
For the past couple? years, Babyman has been living with his younger bro, Bus and Bus' wife n kids.
So either in a reaction to his meds, or he quit taking meds, or ... I dunno the causation, he engaged in actions that Bus' wife deemed unacceptable, and she told Bus, "Babyman goes or I go."
So, on this date, Babyman came to live with us, sharing the bedroom and bed with Stitch, and Buddha.
Panda does not like Babyman.
Lymph node biopsy. (later, showed negative for any new cancers)
It has been over a year since I updated this blog/diary,
because
I came up/down with Essential Tremors. My left hand shakes so much when I'm trying to type, well, I can't type.
I have since/now decided, to try to update this with actually relevant day to day happenings, and not with junk like 'what I watched' or 'what I ate.
and so:
On this day: Eligard, shingles, pneumo-- vaccinations.
