Thank you..As I hobbled around and bragged to a friend that I took a shower..I got so upset..music would help..Then, the S&G song..I was taken back to a time when I felt we could fix anything..you know, innocence. And, the lump in the throat and the tears flowed. Thank you again. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Today, this song and...it made me cry. Yes, I am recovering from breaking my femur on a hike 12/31. Surgery on 01/02..rehab. Now home in a snow storm. Walking to TV news. Overwhelming. Lies. So, music. S&G I cried. We've lost America. Can we ever find America?

Forget the nuclear football..who is in charge of crybaby, sore loser's diaper bag? Probably T logo in faux gold. Carries his sippy cup, extra diapers, his "trophies" for being a winner, his uppers, a big Mac, KFC and diet Cokes.

I didn't notice anything "tented"..anyone else see protocol for asbestos removal? But, I was thinking that all those guidelines are on his Environmental safety rules chopping block!! And, hasn't he said that all these rules hinder development?

I hadn't thought about it but calling 911 and hearing, We know where you are..was very comforting. Tomorrow...rehab!

Sneaky devil black ice under leaves and tiny amount of snow mixed in. I actually fell up the hill, so I guess like a dive.

End of story..pre rehab." IMPLANTS: Stryker Gamma 4 10 x 170 mm 125-degree trochanteric fixation nail, proximal set screw, 10.5 x 90 mm lag screw, 5.0 x 35 mm distal screw." So, Grandkids now have a Grandmom who came out of a trail in the woods on an ATV. How was your New Year? Still in hospital.

#3 Never screamed in my life but coming out of the woods on a trail..whew..really whew. Emergency room clothes cut off. New Years Eve..Yikes busy place. I was the one taking drugs. So surgery on 01/02! Broke my femur.

#2 Fast hard fall. Pete said, I'll pick you up..I said, "NO" I can tell I'm really hurt." I said I'm call 911..go to the parking lot and tell them where I am. 911 guy told me he could see my location. Heard the sirens. By then, shaking wildly..laying in snow, ice. Then, an ATV came. Put on a board.

So, you might know I walk a lot. Gorgeous morning 12/31. Friend called asked if I wanted to walk Bro and his dogs at wonderful old past farm by water. I wanted 217 miles for Dec and said only need 1.24 miles. I'm sharing my tracker. I had already done the early walk. Then, on a trail, I fell!

I don't know why I didn't watch West Wing when it was on..Might have been busy, job, daughter, husband..life. But, now, I loved it..funny that they discussed get rid of the penny in 1999! But, the sets made me sad. First news I saw was DT, Mar A Lago, Ukraine. Turned it off. My head in the sand?

I've gone quiet also. No news..what would be new? "HE" did something terrible but no consequence. Yes, I watched all 7 seasons of West Wing! IK a show and missed the real look of the WH. I thought,DT doesn't know history, geography, etc.Who IS the U.S. leader? DT doesn't read.Morning briefings? WHO?

I just have a cell. I also review #s and if they leave a message I'll listen but then block & delete if it's nothing I care about..say, siding for a place I don't own. As for the night, I plug the phone into a charger so the phone is on the nightstand.

The world is tired. Out of holiday party shine/sparkle. A good day to rest. Maybe telling us to rest. Although it's amazingly sunny here but BRRRR, 20 and "feels like" 9.

Were tangerines supposedly special? Not an orange which we would have anytime. Our little town had a movie in our theater and Santa came. I remember getting an orange there and a "golden book". I think he was the Post Master in really life.
