TOTALLY GEEKED!

Morning, FWM!

I was up early so I could get to the Public Works building to pick up dump passes. I'v not been to my town's dump in the 20 years I've lived here, I rarely have too much trash for my barrels that are picked curbside. With DS here we've been re organizing and such so we've created a pile of crap.

Yucky humid here.

We had massive t-storms come through last night. Knocked out the power. I'm not sure when it came back on. Our generator purred like a kitten.

Rescued two frogs from the pool this morning. I'm leaving for the store in a bit.

Enjoy Cate! And the dump! I'm not even sure where the closest dump is to me around here. Growing up, we used to go once in awhile to look for auto parts. My father liked to tinker with his cars.

Humid and sticky here. Massive thunderstorms today.

 We were supposed to have them last night, but apparently they went to you instead!  At least, if we had them they didn't shake the house like the last one.

A haircut! Yay!

 I had a haircut 3 weeks ago but at that time foils weren't allowed.

I'm sure she'll give me the side eye. The thing about the masks, I won't be able to see her laugh or grimace when she sees it.

Yeah, food and drinks are not going to be offered for now. I wonder if that means I can ask?

My hair is long now so the mask shouldn't get in the way. Although it might when she blows it out...

If you're going to bring your own it may as well be in a glitter flask!

Afternoon.

Sounds like everyone is doing well.

I can't imagine having food and drinks while in the hair dressers.

It's another steamy day in North Georgia.

I need to do laundry, too.

Happy Thursday.

 Maybe this is why y'all get hair in your mouth!

Why am I always so tired on Thursday evenings?

Lily, are you looking at knee replacements? How old are you? How is your BMI? I'm asking for a reason. I'm working on losing some weight so I can get my knees done.

My friend's dad just had his second one done and he says it's like a miracle. His recovery time was super short.

Yes, mine won't do surgery unless you are under a certain BMI or at a certain age. That's why I asked. I have forgotten the required BMI but I'm sure different doctors have different policies. I hope my knee surgeries go better than my dang arm. It was misery.

I had my knee replaced in
1990, and then revised in
2004 (I wore it out!). First
time, just general anesthesia,
and I came to in recovery
screaming in agony. Second
time, I requested a spinal so
I could get back to my room
before it wore off. Plus 2nd
time, they gave me a machine
where I could pump if I felt I
needed more meds. Never
had to use it. And I was up
and walking (with help) two
hours later! The relief was
awesome. Wish I had done
it earlier.

When you go through physical
therapy, do all the exercises
at least twice as much as
they say. If they want you
to do 20 leg lifts twice a day,
do 20 leg lifts four times a
day. It will make a tremendous
difference.

I loved going to the dump when I was a kid. All kinds of valuable and interesting stuff there. LOL

Weatherman has predicted heavy rain and wind for the past 3 days and it has been clear and hot for all three. I wonder where these people get their education in reading weather charts??

Lily, let us know about your permit. Won't be able to attend, but will be thinking of you.

We do a lot of total joints on younger people (50’s). Some docs won’t do it with a weight loss effort.

Getting hair done tomorrow too. I’m wearing a disposable mask. I got a pack of them from target. They are black. I have several cute ones I don’t want to ruin when getting my hair dyed. I don’t know if I can bring a drink so I’ll just stick a bottle of water in my purse.

I’ve never gotten hair in my mouth.

 Right??  Literally the question I've been pondering for 2 days now.  How do people get hair in their mouths!?

 When my son was little, maybe around two or three he hated together hair cut, I gave him som gum hoping by chewing it he wouldn’t start crying during his haircut, he cried and quite a bit of his hair ended up stuck to his gum, looked like he had a hairball in his mouth.
