 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.

March 8, 2022

 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.

February 27, 2022

 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. 

😢😢😢

Feb 24, 2022

 I went to HearUSA ... acquired hearing aids, and a debt of $220 / month, for a year.

Mary went to OC Munch, that night.

Feb 2, 2022

 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.

Jan 28, 2022

 I visited Kaiser, ENT.

after an exam, I was prescribed, whatever they prescribe for ear canal scratches.

January 26, 2022

 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.

Jan 20, 2022

 My first visit to Hear USA. 

The tech there told me that my ears were too clogged for a proper fitting of aids

Jan 22, 2022

 Mary got a mammo- at Kaiser

Jan 14 2022

 I went to see audiologist at Kaiser, confirmed that I had enough hearing loss, that hearing aids would be beneficial.

Jan 12, 2022

 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.

 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.
