PORTRAIT OF THE SHOPPER AS A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN

I NOW HAVE FIVE SURGICAL INCISIONS

Plus screws in my foot, a Maryland Bridge and an implant. And I've been part of a couple NIH studies and outside drug trials and am registered with the National Marrow Registry. And I have a tattoo. No, it won't be hard to identify me.

TODAY IS SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

I try to make EVERY Saturday Small Business Saturday. 

FIDEL CASTRO IS DEAD

FLORENCE HENDERSON DEAD AT 82

In the movie "Smile" an ambitious mama asks a pageant judge if her daughter has any chances of a musical career. His answer is "only if Florence Henderson dies."

KICKING OFF THE GENERIC WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON:

THANKSGIVING DINNER

And inspired by a high school classmate: 

THIS COULD APPLY TO CHRISTMAS, TOO

And Chanukah. And Passover. And Easter: http://catholicexchange.com/breaking-bread-broken-thanksgiving-table 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Had my first real bath for the first time in two weeks.

Pulled the tape off my incisions

Pellegrino is one year old today.

Bear in mind I hadn't been outside for almost a week and I did my makeup in Starbucks bathroom:

Winds gusting up to 50 MPH

Great. Just ate a container of the stuff: http://yeswecoupon.com/breaking-news-25-flavors-hummus-recalled-50-states

Dreamt I was still in the hospital.

A bunch of people came to see me--didn't recognize some of them.

Not going back to work till Thursday,

Not going back to work till Thursday,

Still feeling sick on and off.

And more evidence that some people weren't doing their jobs.

Started working from home.

Glad I didn't go back to work today.

Went out

Supermoon!

Leechburg in the News

Apparently the anesthesiologist wasn't doing his/her job

Happy Veteran's Day!

At home resting

Had my gallbladder out

Is this to end or just begin?

DONALD TRUMP HAS WON THE US PRESIDENCY.

It's kind of cool to be running the board while my old boss is hosting the network show. 

Lady Gaga's reference to Hillary Clinton as "made of steel" might not have been the best choice of words

THE AL QAEDA ATTACK ON VIRGINIA DID NOT TAKE PLACE

Now let's hope for no riots tomorrow or Wednesday.

SUFFRAGETTE CITY

Another reason to vote if you haven’t already: Members of Catholic Daughters of the Americas Court Kavanaugh #54 (my mom’s and my court) were some of the original suffragettes who were arrested demanding the right to vote. It would be an insult to their memory NOT to vote: http://www.catholicdaughters.org

WELL, ISN'T THAT SPECIAL

Some things never get old. Funny at the beginning and end, meh at the middle.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP MAKES

PUBLIC SERVANTS ANNOUNCEMENT

At 2:00 AM 

I VOTED, TOO:

I have been voting since I was 18 and this was the WORST VOTING EXPERIENCE EVER. 

1) I waited one hour and 34 minutes before I voted, which took all of two minutes. 
2) It was hot in the building. And crowded. 
3) No food or drinks were allowed so I couldn't drink anything to cool off. 
4) Couldn't sit. 
5) No wireless. 

And it's even worse in Maryland. D says he waited TWO HOURS and went home in disgust. Maybe that's just Baltimore.

TODAY IS ALL SOULS' DAY

Prayed for the souls in Purgatory when I was in the hospital. If you don't believe in Hell, take the 42 bus to Mount Pleasant during evening rush hour.

TODAY IS ALL SAINTS DAY

Feast of All Saints: Today is the Feast of All Saints, which is celebrated every November 1. By the fourth century, this Feast of All Martyrs, as it was then known, was celebrated on May 13. The words “martyr” and “saint” originally meant basically the same thing — someone who is a witness to Christ even unto death. The …
