It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. Yesterday, WWWendy, the Providence Nurse and I discussed changes that moving will entail. Because Ivy Court is in a different Part of Town, I’ll have an entirely new Providence Hospice team: a new Nurse, Social Worker, Chaplain, etc. for the new location. That means I’ll need to go through the routine of meeting everyone again. My new tentative moving date is Saturday 4/10, so you guys will be holding down the fort for a few days. For me, today and Saturday will be R and R days. WWWendy will be coming Monday. Tuesday, WWWendy and I will have a Zoom meeting with the Manager of Ivy Court to answer questions and ease the transition process. After that, God help us! Prayers-up please! TGIF!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Yep. They love these kinds of pageants…married or not.
BFTP: Haven’t heard this in a while, but I love her, and the song.
WoW! You’re getting things done in motion quickly. April 10th is right around the corner too! I looked up your new residence up on the internet, and imho, it looks very nice. Hope that all goes well, and no crinkles in the move. Early HI’s to Wendy and your nurse, I hope that your transition goes smoothly. Definitely prayers for you… absolutely!! Take good, good care, and Thanks! Tom!!
This just in: “After tens of BILLIONs of dollars, 20 years in development, and hundreds of thousands of hours of work, the most expensive new fighter aircraft in U.S. history, is still so problem-plagued that LAST WEEK ONE SHOT ITSELF WITH ITS OWN GUN.” ~ Joanne Dixon ~

TJI #1 – Planes can be suicidal? Who knew?!?
TJI #3 – I fear Walsh underestimates the capability of Republican voters to believe impossible things before breakfast. Spoiler: It’s way more than six.
TJI #4 –
TJI #5 – Good advice in theory … but that’s how conspiracy theories get formed.
TJI #1: Both The Netherlands and Australia have committed to buying these damned planes two decades ago and are stuck with them. After this incident, the Aussies needed to haul a general in front of the camera vowing this fighter plane was the best choice they ever made. 🤣🤣🤣
The planes might possibly be less suicidal in Oz or the Netherlands. One could hope so, anyway.
Ah, yes. And in Portland, “a different part of town” can mean “a different county,” as in this case it clearly does. So no wonder the staff changes. It probably involves certification as well as distance. I’m glad you got in – anything that makes your life easier is copacetic with me, and it appears this will. You know we will hold down the fort. Not aw well as you do, but we will manage. Hugs and prayers.
Cartoon – Let’s see – There’s also Miss Ery – but I’m drawing a blank on the rest.
Blast – A beautiful song, and another gift we received from Canada. It is somewhat sad, and I suspect that’s because the third side – the inside, which is the depth – is missing. Even in metaphor, “bothsiderism” is unhelpful.

LOL! And Miss Ter’s cousin, Miss Tress.
Busy guy!!! I hope all goes well1
‘Toon: they all look older than 17, so perhaps Mattt Gaetz would not tangle with them. but, he is clearly one Miss erable fellow!
BFP: Wonderful!
Speaking of music, if any of you are jazz fans, check these out for some nice get-away-from-it-allness:

TJI#1: And just who pocketed all that hard green cash?
TJI#2: And during Passover?
TJI#3: For some time, while at the gym, recently, all Faux News could spittle about was Biden’s Leftist inspired taxing plans. Faux plays to today’s right wing version of what the Russians used to call “useful fools.”
TJI#4: Apparently, reportedly, they are indeed coming down on that walking, talking bit of slime.
TJI#5: “He talks! He walks!”
I’m pretty sure there’s no work ban for Passover. One just needs to stay kosher (though “kosher for Passover” is stricter than everyday koshe.)
Cartoon: Yep theses are the kind the R’s like playing around with.
BFTP: Great song by Joni Mitchell. Love listening to her.
Wow…April 10 you’ll be in your new place! I call that fast accommodations. Plus a new community too.
Pray that it will be a great new start for you in regards to your health, motivational wise too, knowing that Wendy is closer too.
Do get your rest, Tom. You have a lot that will be going on starting Monday.Please eat and drink to help keep your body healthy and functioning properly.
Take care.
WOW! I’m in utter awe at how rapidly and efficiently you and Wendy have pulled things together! Very impressive!
(Has Wendy ever thought about running for office? Seems like she’s a real get-‘er-done type of person! And MORE than capable of making it happen)
Back when I had hearing, Judy Collins’ rendition of “Both Sides Now” was one of my favorites to sing to:
Judy was the first to cover it. Joni wrote it, and Judy gives her the credit graciusly here.
Wonderful news about your moving date, TomCat. As I understand it, you’re not moving into hospice care but a centre where there is always someone on call 24/7 to help you when necessary (and your meals and washing are provided for). Is that correct? That will give both you and WWWendy peace of mind. I hope your move is soon and goes without a hitch.
Cartoon: You could add Miss Direction and Miss Management to the pageant.
BFTP: I had altogether forgotten this beautiful song. Thanks for reminding me of it, TomCat. It’ll give me thought over Easter.
Thanks and Weekend Hugs to all.
When you guys congratulate WWWendy and I for putting this move together so efficiently, I need to correct you on one thing. The credit is 100% WWWendy’s and 0% mine. I’ve just bounced my jaw off my chest in amazement over how she has done it all.
good luck with the move…..
