REFLECTIONS

I found this song one day while surfing the web.  It was by another unknown singer and the lyrics were hard to hear.  When I looked for a better version I had no luck for over a year; until yesterday when I found this version by Lou Rawls. I could not find a copy of the lyrics anywhere.  There is another song with a similar title but not this one. Here are some of the lyrics:   Some people call him Buck and other people call him Bill. He has the face of a president and His home is in the US mint. I'm looking for him right now If you see him send him to me right away. I need him in my jeans. I have to go out  and get some bread and beans Enjoy.

This is our front door with the wreath we put up every year.  I use a green spotlight to make it visible at night. I've spent the last several days starting to prepare for Christmas.  I can't believe it's December already.  Maybe the mild weather has something to do with it. Instead of our artificial tree this year we bought a tiny live tree.  I did not notice that the care instructions were still attached when I took the photo! It's only 4 feet tall but more than enough for the two of us.  When we put it on a box it looks taller.  We'll drape a white cloth over the box to hide it. I have the presents picked out for Lynette and just have to order two of them on-line and pick one up at Target. She asked me what I want but as usual I have no idea.  I don't want clothes and I don't wear jewelry.  I have to search around then if I don't see anything I'll pick something at random.

Yesterday for my birthday Lynette made a whole roast duck with mashed potatoes, green beans, turnips and biscuits.  Everything was great.  Even though the duck was all skin, fat and bone; it tasted good.   Lynette was disappointed and said she would buy only the breast next time. All that mattered to me was her effort to make my birthday special. I stayed in my JP's all day.  It was just the two of us.  My brother called and sang happy birthday with his wife and my neice.   My daughter called twice.  I could hear my grandson Miles in the background. Her husband wished me happy birthday just as Miles slammed the bathroom door on him. It was a quiet and relaxed birthday, just what I was in the mood for.

I wonder if they did this on purpose. They must have meant well. I bet the author Brown was not too happy. Was this supposed to be a joke? She must be experiencing a side effect of the tea. They could have found a better place to put the light switch! These are my favorites from Bored Panda. Link:  22+ Funny Design Fails Show Why You Need A Designer  

Lynette and I have been married for 35 years!  It will be a quiet celebration, just the two of us for dinner and back home to watch TV together.                                  I've had terrible headaches as a side effect of daily doses of intravenous immunoglobulin  this past week for my CIDP.  See my earlier post. Here's the link:  CIDP . Last night I had to take some  oxycodone, left over from before my back surgery last year.  The extra strength Tylenol did not help much.  The pain felt like a knife stabbed into my neck.   I was supposed to feel more strength in my legs but so far I only feel the headaches. Maybe I'll just have to give it more time to work.       (That's not me in the photo but that's how I felt.) We'll celebrate by going to one of our favorite restaurants.  They serve the best Chinese food I've ever had.  We usually order extra dishes to take home for dinner the next couple of days. It will be some quiet time together.

It's great having a grandson! My first day of therapy for my CIDP went better than expected.  It was for about 3 hours instead of 4.  Now I feel tired so I'll keep my post short.
