I'm a drunk and I don't drink booze

Isn't that better than talking about my Trump depression? Good news: for me, anyway, its good news. My Yule Tale is in my house. Daughter emailed yesterday that she had sent the Tale to be copied at Staples. After water exercise this morning I drove over and picked up thirty copies. My oh my daughter drew a grand illustration of a cowboy Santa. The other fantastic news: I found the three hole punch so hubby can bind the Tales. I tidy and often when I need something I have to back track where I put something. I'm back to the booze that I don't drink. It is too easy to fall off the wagon. Too easy to tell myself that I don't need to go to physical therapy. I don't need to put my joints through those exercises- in the therapist's facility or in my house. Too easy to not go to the pool either. An opening appeared at the therapists tomorrow late morning so I made my finger hit the YES button. This coming Thursday morning I head back to the orthopedist's office for a chat with the second more experienced doc. My heart is saying Heck No on knee replacement but we'll see. Meantime my little kid is kicking up a tantrum about tomorrow's physical therapy hour. Nope. Can't win.

Therapy may take your mind off other things. Tell that kid to behave

Tell your little kid that once the therapy is over, you will let her have a special treat. Maybe non food related if you can swing it.

I’m glad Adult you overrides little kid you. Maybe Adult you needs to give adult me a good kick in the pants. A Cowboy Santa?! That sounds amazingly entertaining.

I feel you on the Trump depression. I'm dreading the future with him as president again. Hope it works out for you tomorrow at the doctor's, and that you feel better soon.

@KristenH I have a long physical road ahead whatever I do. I hope both of us get a kinder world than what we are thinking about in the next four years.

I really feel for you. My little kid would be really acting up too with all these hard decisions to make. But it's good you found the three-hole punch.

Thanks @JudyEv. We really need that punch. I really just want to sit and vegetate with my Siamese Beau Teak.

Trump is going to better for the country than the last president. I promise.

I'll bet the Yule Tale is a good one. If PT helps you, by all means ignore that little kid. lololol Have a good day.
