Relapse time, the cough came back… phooey on this! Now, I will have to cancel the hand surgery AGAIN until the cough is gone and I am off meds.I was up with Scout several times last night; he is getting old. At 5:00 am, I decided to stay up and breathe steam and drink a hot toddy; it worked because, by 7:30 am, I was feeling ok.
YouTube has some additional Amos and Andy shows, so I watched “The Rare Coin” to see what the Kingfish would do now. These guys rival Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis, Cheech and Chong, and Abbott and Costello for being funny!
Big decisions, I shall NOT be a wuss and I will go to the gym just to get loosened up so we were on our way by 8:15 am giving us 30 minutes on the upright bicycles. Indeed we made it to the gym but about 40 minutes into the routine, I gave up and sat down and proceeded to cough sounding like the I needed an oxygen tent with all the wheezing, blowing, panting, puffing, snorting, suspiration, and coughing going on. Three people entering the gym offered to call 911.

We dropped by home for a few minutes after the gym to get some things we needed before heading to the hair parlor. We stopped and Mary got a blood-oxygen measuring device as she was afraid with all the coughing my levels could be low. Nope, I was a solid 97% oxygenated and 55% accoholnated, a good combination.
We arrived at noon at the hair parlor and proceeded to get beautiful for tomorrow night. With Mary it is easy, a touch here and a ship there and she is radiant.. Me on the other hand, Tammy puts on dark glasses, sharpens her tin snips, and then says a small prayer to the Saint of the Ugly that he won’t take me when she is done.
When she asked how I wanted it cut, I told her to decide. She immediately went into her top drawer and withdrew a bag of small dried bones and sprinkled them on the floor. After examining them and saying a few incantations, she was ready to begin.
After the hair-doo in Huntington Beach we decided it was time to eat so we went to the American Legion in Newport which was only six miles away.
We had a hot toddy and a nice lunch visiting with some of the people already there. It was great to catch up and enjoy some good food together. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, which made the day even more enjoyable.
Just us!
It was a beautiful day!
With a little help from AI…
Lunch was leisurely!
From the Legion, we headed to Tustin to pick up Mary’s new gown for tomorrow evening and she was met with a surprise; it was NOT ready. After a few short words, it was agreed we would come back in an hour. In the meantime we went to the bank to get some money and stop by the house to visit Scout.
Back to the alterations shop we went and success, the dress is now ready (shortened) for my 5’3″ babydoll!
We decided to celebrate and went to Aces for a Hot Toddy. 2024 was still handing out disappointments, they had no honey so we had one glass of wine and went home.
We visited our neighbor Jeff for a while before returning home to crash! Tomorrow is going to be a big day!!
We crashed!
