OOPS, ALMOST DIDN'T POST!

 

Fio lulls herself to bed every night with Jessica Fletcher--in her own bedroom, of course. It isn't that she thinks Jessica's, show is so great, but that it's the only one that she doesn't have to switch off herself because she's asleep long before the show does.

Your girl has found out that her phlegm can be treated by staying hydrated, with a humidifier, and using some over-the-count decongestants. Gargling salt water will also help. WAHOO!

By the way, Fiorella is dressed up really nice today--dark blue shorts, a mixed color top, her blue suede shoes, and, to top it all off along, a silver watch on her arm. (She's got  a silver drop bouncing on her bosom. TA-DA!)😊

Hmm.. Son and his wife are running late. Did something happen come up in your darling's classroom today? Nope, here they are, down the lane. No big news except that it's tax time and SonL is going crazy working on your girl's returns.

EXCUSES, EXCUSES!

 I just can't write a poem tonight

My brain is ready for sleep--

So look me up tomorrow morn

And I'll give you a clever treat

 

Forgive me, friends, I lost my way

And crumbled up my plan

So you'll have to wait till tomorrow 

That is, if you can πŸ‘°πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

BITS AND PIECES AGAIN

 Hello, hello! 

OOPS! A traveling nurse is coming to check your girl's blood tomorrow, and Fio ran out of one of her required pills yesterday. Thus your girl is trying to get SonL to drive to the always-available Walgreens and pick up of the needed pills, which doesn't look like he'll be able to do it. Pray for Fiorella!

Fio shuffled through yet another bag of her past and realized that that's her mother's beautiful oriental rugs have disappeared.  Hope they didn't get tossed into the trash can. Those rugs are not just gorgeous, but also expensive!

In case you are wondering what your girl looks like, she has the traditional "five two, eyes of blue," and also holds a fair number of college degrees which she enjoyed, but didn't follow up on (SIGH...)

P.S. Don't let yourself get phlegm. It's no fun.

BITS AND PIECES (GARGLE)!

 DANG! Fiorella has mixed up three of her bills, and she only has two envelopes. Ah, well, she'll learn which is what next month. πŸ˜“πŸ˜

 To all who know Fio---yes, she has let her hair grow L O N G. Her mother would  have objected, of course, because she thought looked "foreign," as your girl has explained to you before. 

Fio is really getting tired of being fenced in by the hot weather and not being able to drive. If only someone would come up with a cure for your girl's left eye....or find her a handsome gentleman to tote her around. (Send your grandfathers her way!)

Fiorella would really like to be outside handing out campaign material for our girl Kamala and saying nasty things about Trump. 😁

By the way, Fio may have "flem" but she has no way finding out. Will keep you posted.

Bit BY BIT.....

 Oops, almost forgot!

Clean up bedroom time! Fio has been working on her bureau most of the day, and tomorrow she'll concentrate on her various drawers. Then, maybe, she'll redo the plastered designs that she put on the walls when she first landed here.

Oh, Lordie, your girl tried to sing and she sounded like a crow, but after all, DOESN'T ANYONE SING AROUND HERE? Fio has yet to hear even a single Christmas jingle as long as she's lived here!

Fio is hoping one of her presents will be getting the two large, beautiful lamps on either side of her bed fixed so that she can use them for more than decoration. (HINT, HINT, Son)πŸ˜‹

 Your girl has decided to try to get hold of a doctor who treats flem which is driving Fiorella crazy. The problem will be transportation, as usual.  She also wants to get another face-lift. She backed out on the one she had about ten years ago and only went half-way. (Don't tell anyone.)

Hear and There

 Fio took her favored cul-de-sac walk just before noon today....but, well, it wasn't quite complete. She cut  through the shaded lawns of a couple of houses to breath and promised herself that she'll sing her walking song (Lavenders Blue, Dilly, Dilly, etc.) the next time around.  Fiorella is probably repeating herself, but in this weather, there's not much to say.

One thing your girl will say again and again is that TRUMP is a FRUMP!

Hey, hey, hey! Fiorella went over to Walgreens today and got her Covid shot. HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOURS? (It's quick and doesn't hurt πŸ˜€πŸ˜)

Next on the list should be to to fix Fio's beautiful bedroom lamps, which won't turn on, no matter whatπŸ˜–GRRRRRRR!

And, of course, she would like to have a friend.

THIS AND THAT

What a day so far! Your girl started out by tripping on edge of the breakfast table (band-aide needed), then clunked into her "salon," and crashed into her too huge collection of art supplies. Right now, she is trying to stay restrained in her room and not cause herself any more damage😊.

Hmmmm....what does one do when you're supposed to stay still and be careful? TELEVISION!

As far as Fio can tell, females are dominating the scene, and Trump is making a fool out of himself, which is how your girl hopes the rest of the country is seeing him! (Can you imagine what it would be for him and Putin to get together?) 

SonL, wife, and daughter have driven off to visit the other side of thei family for a visit so Fio and George (the beautiful big white cat that loves your girl) will be alone for the rest of the evening. Wouldn't it be great if Fiorella had some one to come visit her? WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF SHE  HAD A FRIEND  SHE COULD TALK TO REGULARLY? WOULDN'T BE GREAT IF SHE COULD STILL DRIVE?
