Thanks, Big Bang, Coumadin, Doggie, Queen

First, a heart felt thank-you goes out to whomever it was that sent Fiorella a brain-wave message to shuffle her feet as she walked across the den because ---TA-DA--that's when sus lentes decided to show up. Fio has a back-up pair, but its single lens is held into the frame with Scotch Tape. There should be two other pairs around here, but Fio can't find them. Remember, your faithful correspondent leaves not music, but a trail of glasses, wherever she goes.

Fio laughed out loud time and time again Thursday night when she was watching Big Bang Theory--The wrap-up of the Nobel contentious contention was sheer comic genius. Okay now, Howard and Bernadette are doing just fine, but what is in Leonard and Penny's future? And how about poor, lonely Raj?

Fiorella decided not to sign up for the at-home gadget for her monthly coumadin check. The device was a good idea in theory, but terribly complicated in practice.  Besides, the slick-talking nurse who called, then came to the house, waited till she got here to announce she was allergic to dogs.

Sonia Dog doesn't like the heavy rain, and neither does Fio. It means Doggie will be whining to go outside in the middle of the night to do her duty. How do dog owners handle this situation in rainier climes?

Fiorella admits that she's been following news of the British royals lately. It's such a relief from the dirty dealing that's going on in the ruling family over here. Of course it is--a woman is in charge.
