Couyons, Couyons Everywhere!

 

This has been something of a hot mess of a week. Husband back and forth to the clinic. Something has popped up with his urinary tract and as he only has one kidney it's a worry. Waiting right now to hear the results of the tests they ran.

Today, being Wednesday, the husband scampered off to teach his English classes, and I did the usual daily housework with the addition things you have to do here in the rainy season. It rained all day. It's still raining.

This afternoon I had a huge shock. Someone I have been very friendly with in the Anti Katie Joy community changed their story. It was a significant enough change, along with the others in their little group and I cannot accept it. I know what they said first, and now they've changed it. The new story puts their recent actions towards me in one very bad light. I don't know if I can keep my mouth shut about this and just back away quietly.

Maybe if I just log off Twitter and unfriend them on Facebook too this will fade away. I have no desire to fight, but damn, I cannot go on their live streams or pretend they aren't a couyon. An enormous couyon that put me in their drama last month. I am not amused.

Just watched the Republican Debate. Liked Haley and Christie, but damn, DeSantis and Ramaswamey are both so damn annoying. Vivek in particular seemed like he was wired on something. High on stress or other substances.

A Missed Stompism

One anecdote I neglected to pass on that had Jim and I puzzling and laughing. Stompy, Jim and I were talking about her upcoming European trip when she mentioned she was going to be in Amsterdam a few days. I squeal and tell her had I know I would be loading her with money and a shopping list for the Van Gogh museum. I really, really, REALLY want that entire set of sweet Samsonite with his almond blossom painting on it. She turns to us and tells sue she's going to the Sex Museum instead. Oh holy crap!

Bottomless Betty and Blocking the Aunt Heap

Image
  The Chesapeake Bay Bridge last weekend. So where have I been? Back to Louisiana and then up to Maryland. I wanted to check on my mother in her assisted living. It didn't go well at all, even if I stayed ten days. One of my aunts in the Aunt Heap nicknamed my mother 'Bottomless Betty' after she suddenly developed the inability to wear bottoms at all, no pants, no panties, no skirts. It was most bizarre and had a sudden onset. Her dementia has gone haywire in the few months she's been in assisted living. I'm not entirely sure she knew who I was either. This was a shock, her mental status slid so fast it was scary. Did what I could, talked to the folks in the admin office seeking a way to help her. My mother's doctor had tried a drug to slow the dementia but all it did was cause my mother to hallucinate.   Got home on Tuesday night, taking that long airplane ride from Washington, DC to my home near Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Human Greek chorus and alarmist member of...

Strange Days and Orchids

Image
Water feature from the Orchid Garden near San Jose. Well, it's been a strange week or two. I've lost days to this silly ankle thing. Took off the boot at a week to start doing physical therapy movements, made it two days and now the boot is back on and I'm down to two pain pills. It's healing so slowly this time. Have to do a medical follow up this week. Several days ago we went to a party for a lady we know who is throwing in the towel and going home to the U.S.A. Katie was trying to do that thing that is impossible here on the Gold Coast -- live as a gringo without a steady monthly income. Even a social security pension will not cut it here. It's expensive, but likely not as expensive as life in the U.S.A. is getting lately. Read that there has been a 40% jump in the price of vegetables and fruits last month. Deporting the folks that do all the grunt work there was one very bad idea mixed with those insano tariffs. We have high tariffs here and it inhibits the amo...
