I'm like a 1950's teen waiting by the phone. But I'm not waiting for my date to call, I'm waiting on news of my surgery date. So I'm picking up all calls... and reminding myself why I usually let the machine answer.
I just got a call for Elizabeth, saying they were sending my diabetic packet... or something. I was confused by what I now realize was a clever tactic for finding interested clients. "Well, have a good day." She finally said, "I'm glad you're not diabetic." The other day I answered a wrong number. Before I could explain that she'd reached a residence, not a school, I heard the phone click. I should have been the one hanging up! I was already on edge, so suddenly I was furious. But! It's a modern day with caller ID, so I dialed the rude caller back. I of course reached voicemail. I smiled like the Grinch, then decided to leave her a long rambling message about our accidental disconnection and the Houston floods and how are the kids and a final, "God Bless!" at the end. I hope she was totally confused by that.

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me. I ranted for a year, until I got my vaccine in March 2021. Coronary Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was Don who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Archives
