My stove caught on fire and I went out and bought a new one. The landlord wanted to repair the burned one even though the firemen took it outside and wrote it up as defective. It was quite old. I just told him I was going to use my own from now on. I was afraid he would hoist another old junky one on me. He came over and took parts out of it before we junked it.

At the same time, the washer finally died and I bought one of those too. All on credit. Glad I've got the credit, but I'm one of those people who would rather not have a balance and always pay up as soon as I have money. So, this has been a challenge.

Deane Family Christmas

The two blues sisters are: on left, Elizabeth Munroz, on right Suzan Deane-Simpson. The lovely seated couple, the patriarch and matriarch, are (the original) James Deane and Genevieve Borden-Deane. The goofy guy in the front. We don't know who is he is. Never saw him before! Just kidding! That's my brother Roger M. Deane. 

Happy Christmas everyone!

Hip Injury

Been waiting for a callback from doctors office for a possible squeeze in. I injured my hip this weekend getting into Kats car. My big butt wouldn't fit behind the steering wheel so I twisted to get myself into the seat. Not a good idea. I felt it immediately and been in excruciating pain and barely walking since. Had to cancel dr appt in SF. Stayed home the last 3 days in bed taking morphine med and prednisone. Self doctoring works. Doing better, and hopefully will be able to tolerate trip to L.A. to see daughter and grandkids. Xavier and girlfriend taking me. The 6-9 hour drive  should be interesting! I'll be taking the new kitten with me on the trip.

If I just lay back when I'm hurting, I will just continue to lay back, turn into Jaba the Hutt and still have pain and suffering. I might as well have a good time while I'm at it. At least be looking at the pretty lights when they carry me away flat on my back, eh!

Dream Library

I don't know why, but this appeals to me!
