It’s a tired painful day here in the CatBox. This morning a Providence bathing aide came to clean me up. She did a very good job, was gentle and was compassionate, but despite her best efforts, moving me around exacerbated my pain severely. It did not let up for the rest of the day. Two days at the new level are enough to demonstrate that I need more and shall ask for it immediately. Please pray that they increase my Methadone level quickly.

Cartoon: Good grief! Most can’t see beyond their nose(s) anyway.
Cartoon: Such a pretty/soothing song.
Glad that your aide was gentle with you. Aww….so sorry to read about your pain. I hope that your pain recedes with an increase in your level of medication, and that your request is expedited quickly for your comfort. Get your rest, nap, and take good, good care, Tom.

TJI #3 – Pete is spot-on! Trump’s Tweets are truly “Grotesque Things!”
TJI #5 – Betsy DeVos in the hot seat & grilled mercilessly – YIPPEE!!
TJI #1 – Tim was a sight to behold. “You ain’t one of them” struck me too. LOL!
TJI #2 – Of course he would. I don’t know that he’ll be allowed to … or if he is, that it will do him much good. The desire of all sane people for him to be locked up for a long time is very strong.

TJI #4 – Kevin McCarthy thinks? Is there any proof? I suspect it’s more like “Some people believe they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”
TJI #5 – It’ll be fun, if she doesn’t Fifth Amendment them to dying of boredom.
it’s always nice to get cleaned up. But it’s too bad the price you pay is an exacerbation of your pain.
I hope your methadone increase is as soon as possible!
Gentle is good, pain is of no use to you.
‘Toon: Maybe it’s better that way.
BFP: Nice.
Bill is still off this week – I don’t know whether he ever had symptoms; he might just be observing quarantine.
I’m not surprised you need more, I’m glad you’ll ask quickly, and hope and pray it comes quickly.
Cartoon – The ones who vote Republican look like that too.
Blast – And this is certainly a big part of why spouses of the incarcerated so often don’t last.

TJI#1: So well put!

TJI#3: God one, Joanne!
TJI#4: Joanne, this quote knocks me out!! Pelosi quotes a wonderful book.
TJI#5: Ms. Cruela will perjure herself silly, if she does not take the 5th. Nastier than Whitman ever was!
Cartoon: Doesn’t surprise me, they never bother in the first place.
BFTP: Beautiful song.
Sad to hear you’re suffering so much from yesterday’s ordeal. Hopefully they’ll increase your Methadone dosage.
Will be saying some extra prayers for you, Tom.
Hope you have a restful day. That you eat and drink your fluids.
Do take care. Thanks Tom
I will be praying for speed TC and am glad another staff member proved their quality with you. Your cartoon makes me think of Jenner in her effort to run in our Gov. recall election when she claimed she didn’t vote in 2020 and went golfing, yet the public record showed she voted.
TC…if you don’t get relief by tomorrow…give me their number and I’ll call them. They won’t like my tone! Hoping for the best…SOON!
Two days in such pain is two days too long. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more in the future, TomCat. Like most things you have to nip it in the bud when it gets worse. Perhaps it’s time a doctor comes in and gives your carers as much of a free hand as is allowed with the medication.
Cartoon: If that is a Trumpkin, perhaps we should be glad he didn’t? 😉
BFTP: Only vaguely familiar, no memories I’m afraid.
Thanks and still too painful hugs, but I’ll catch up soon, and it will
Sunday Hugs!
