Like a Bad Penny...


 Well.  Here I am again. Between Hub and myself, we've had a rather nasty year. First, I had a bad reaction to a new medication and wound up in the emergency room twice. I had so many diagnoses I should have been dead on the spot.  Finally, I just stopped taking what I thought was causing the problem and it did, in fact, go away. Hmmm.

Next came a complete slowdown of activity from Hub.  He just plain stopped doing work that had to be done. Finally, when the chest pains and tightness got to the point they even worried him, it was off to the emergency room once again.

His problem, initially, was bleeding ulcers.  They pumped him full of blood and did a few other tests. To make a long story short, he is now thoroughly stented and well on his way to recovery.  Knock wood.

So much has happened in the world since May. Inflation has skyrocketed, and the war in Ukraine continues as does our funding of their weaponry.  Crime doesn't seem to have waned any. Our political parties are still fighting like a bunch of kids on a playground. Government transparency is in the eye of the beholder and Joe Biden. He has done nothing to convince me he should run for President again, nor has Trump. If there is any good news, the pandemic is over though there still seems to be an undercurrent of debate on that in some political circles.

Nevertheless, I'm still here and will try my best to offer an old lady's perspective on the world's happenings as they occur. Or hit my hot button which is far more likely.
