Fun fact: Monday in Hebrew translates into English as "second day". Why? They take off Saturdays. (Well, sometimes. For some things. Y'know how it is!)
This is the same as Arabic, btw.
Portugeuse and Polish also go by number, but Monday is First Day (meaning First Day After Church Day, essentially.)
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
But the child that is born on Sabbath day,
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
This goes back to 1836. Dang if I know what happened to poor Wednesday and Saturday. That said, I was born on a Monday. yeah, not so much.
Incidentally, some versions have Friday's child being full of woe. What would the Addams family do?! If you saw the Christina Ricci version in films, you probably just thought "Be afraid, be very afraid".
Random fact: The kid who played her boyfriend in the second Addams Family movie (Addams Family Values) went on to have a successful career, with his own series, Numb3rs. Two kid actors who actually made it!
I figure that Mondays are like tortoiseshell cats and those little angry terrier mix dogs ---- all about the attitude!
I didn't sleep ebnough, can ya tell?

May your monday be full of grace and all that fun stuff!

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
My brother is coming over on Saturday with my new desktop! I still can't believe it. I have my marching orders between now and then about things he wants me to do. I'm really excited about it.
Yesterday, my partner found out that he doesn't have any prescription coverage. His insurer says that he didn't pay on time. He started calling them in December for a bill. Called in January too. They kept saying that it was in the mail. He didn't get anything until February! Paid the premium for January and February and most recently March. This is not a good development at all. Now I/we have to figure out how to fix it. He's off to the bank to find out when the payments left his account. I'm pulling phone records to prove that he called. I hate this....
My aggressive cat was spicy last night and again this morning. The vacuum in hand really helps but I try not to get him into complete meltdown mode. I have three more visits and I'm done with that. Having to get up early does not agree with me at all.
Going to try and finish my cleaning project in the living room today. I don't have a lot left to do. I'd like to finally check that box and move on.
Cold and ugly here today. Can't wait for it to start warming up consistently.
Shoutout to Miki, Bec, JP, AngelaJo, Milily, PuppyMom and Blue. Waves!
Leo, hope u get ur meds.
Me, I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed for a busy week. Sick of being bedbound but my back is better. Until just found out I'll have to go see elderly client with laptop in person. Painful. I'm doing everything I have available to me. News is a firehouse again. Could not turn away for a second this weekend when I always go off grid. Need to get mobile so I can start walking again and get my mind off this sh$t for one f'g hour. OK, no cursing sorry guys. When I'm stressed I curse like a sailor, sorry sorry.
Yall have a good week!!
Hey to Miki, Ajoe, Puppymom, Bec, Milily and the rest!
It's a cold, rainy day here and I wish I could go back to bed. I didn't want to get out this morning. And one of our doctors is on vacation so I'm working with Jackie and the slow doctor..so far we're not super behind but there's still time. It always happens.
Otherwise I'm just feeling depressed, anxious etc. Trying not to read the news but it's impossible to avoid completely. And now it's 2 hours later because we got busy -_-
Miki, fraternal twins exist, even same gender ones. People forget that.
Fan, OMG.
JP, hang in there!
Puppy, lighting a candle for your heart health!
Love from the crazy zone!
I also had to explain to bf that identical doesn't just mean twins who look really similar after he told me he knew identical twins back in Reno, but they were a boy and a girl...in his defense, his biology teacher taught creation theory instead of evolution, they were taught abstinence only sex ed, and he's so squeamish that my very tame explanation almost made him gag, so he wouldn't look for info like that. He's really smart but sometimes the southern education shows
