Well, TFH friends, and members, I’m back in the Houses once again. A medically imposed hiatus from the day to day rigors is now upon me. A brief explanation I owe.
An accumulation of things, events, happenings, or confluence I might say, both on our wonderful vine, and out of it warrant a bit of an explanation to my friends. Some of my “confluences” some of you know already, so I thought to explain to all.
No few folks have noticed I haven’t been my usual semi literary prodigious self lately, the last month or two, and those inquiries have been warmly appreciated!
That the dialogue in places is getting absolutely ridiculous is no surprise, here on the vine, replete through the web and elsewhere, I will not miss for a while. Frankly, some people really do need to stop themselves, take a deep breath, and get away from the paranoia keeping them sucked onto their keyboards and get out into reality just a bit more than they are. Learn to work together people, or learn to pick up the pieces apart.
Off the vine, taking care of Mom has been a real chore lately, and fret not, she’s doing fine! No major problems! Just some changes in the day to day care routines have needed changing as her condition changes, and it’s taken us a while to get back into something of a regular routine, or as regular as we can make it, and that alone has taken me away from the vine for some time now. She also has plenty of help every day while I’m laid up too, so that’s a plate on the table no one need worry about! (and I’m going to try to milk that as long as I possibly can! *grin*!) It’s not working, but I’m tryin’!
Myself, I’ve not had a very healthy month at the same time. At the beginning of this particular path I’m now on, a torn rotator cuff, again, and surgery, again, has slowed me down a bit, then about three weeks ago I yakked a nice big lat muscle in my back, more joy there, and last week banged up rib muscles, ligaments and a couple of other issues that popped up around there put me under the knife earlier this week, and I am now crabby as hell! As a very dear friend observed just the other day, and she was right, as usual. And I hereby profoundly apologize, dear Susi!
I’m temporarily consigned to my man cave chair for a while, it’s a very nice, padded, comfy chair nonetheless, but it just isn’t my nice comfy bed either. And, for a while at least, I just can’t sit up and clack away here for long periods of time. Recovery is going to be around a couple of months, easily.
And everyone, feel absolutely free to chastise, tease, kid, cajole, and chew on me directly for my injuries, for they were mostly caused by Augur being a dumb, impatient, inattentive, “nah, I’m ready I can do it!” guy. Hey, it’s what we men do! *grin*!
So, a hiatus is in order. Apologies beforehand if I don’t respond to all, all are read, and I assure all, appreciated.
Time for a break.
(*pinkgrins*!)
