But my diabetes and cholesterol are under control considering what a mess they were this time last year. Triglicerides are up but I've been missing my Omega-3 fish oil a bit so now it's one a day for the next 6 months to see if it makes a difference. That and exercise which doesn't figure a lot in my life but we are now trying a third fluid tablet to help the legs and feet. The other two were too strong and made me feel very unwell after 3 or 4 days. My kidneys are fine though. We just won't talk about the elephant in the room which is me.
So now it's February and it's been a year since I heard from my eldest granddaughter. I presume she made it back from Europe okay. Next week she will be, if I've done my sums right, 21 years old. I still remember every minute of the day she was born like it was yesterday. I suppose I will have to email her other grandparents and find out what they are doing for her birthday, down here or in Queensland. There's no way I will contact her Queen Bitch of the Universe of a mother to ask. I don't usually hold a grudge but with her, the grudging will be forever. It doesn't matter that I know why she did what she did, a grudge is the least I can do when I'm not the type to hit someone over the head with a blunt object. I don't talk to her, I don't think about her, she does not exist in my world, she exists only in my grudging.
She is why I don't keep in touch with my girls, it only gets them into trouble. They email or ring when they can so I never push them. They know where I live, I've let them go and they've come back, they always will.

that schemer deserves the sort of mother-in-law who would just lawyer-up and hit her with an 'Alienation Of Affection' writ seeking damages ... if it wasn't going to make the girls' life harder I would urge you to do it. I would be a great Counsel For The Plaintiff (I saw every Rake episode).
That photo of the indoor/outdoor blossom tree is lovely.

So sorry to hear your legs and back are giving so much trouble, I wish there was something I could do, like order a new pair of legs online or something, maybe get you a chauffeur driven limo with plenty of room for swinging the legs in and out of.
Would it help to sit in the taxi seat first, sideways, then swing the legs in as you turn to the front? That wouldn't help with the buses of course.
I hope you hear from the grand daughters soon.
Annie O, last photo I saw of her, she was fat and ugly, damages enough for me. My main thing in life now is to make sure she never gets her paws on whatever I leave the girls.
River, I was brung up a lidy, I always sit then swing sideways. Trouble is the new cars have a higher lip where the door shuts so it's up and swing. That's when I usually sit on the seat belt buckle. The buses are supposed to lower the step for the old and decrepit but some drivers are sadists.
