Ranch came with it. I prefer a nice light Italian or a raspberry vinegrette. It was still good though.

Cobb salad.. with ranch😁

I did know that chocolate chip cookies were invented in Massachusetts. We were taught that in school.. lol. Did you also know that they came about by accident? Ruth added chocolate pieces to her cookie batter thinking they would melt and make chocolate cookies. They were originally called Butterdrop Do Cookies and were bite sized. Just some fun facts for a Wednesday. Hope everyone has a good day!

Luckily it's not anything super major. I've had issues with my ankle. Went to the podiatrist and one round of oral steroids, one steroid injection, and one MRI later... I have Posterior Tibial Tenosynovitis. In plain English, my left ankle tendon is chronically inflamed. I have been fitted for a brace and am waiting for that to me made. To add insult to injury, I've taken so much ibuprofen that it affected my kidneys and now I'm not allowed to take any sort of anti-inflammatory. On Thursday, I left a message for my podiatrist to ask for a prescription for Tramadol and haven't heard back. Because I've been overcompensating for the ankle, the bursitis in my right hip has decided to flare up. I went to Urgent Care yesterday and there was literally nothing they could do other than to suggest topical lidocaine. They didn't have a license to dispense any kind of narcotic/opioid (which Tramadol is a mild form of). The best they can do is tell me to go to a pain management center. Our medical system is messed up... I can get Tramadol for my dogs easier than I can get it for myself. It makes no sense. So I spent the weekend in pain, cranky as all hell. Today, I will be on the phone, or at my primary care until I get something.

True... I've had a rough couple of months health-wise and all y'all's antics made a not-so-great day better. 🙃

Jeeezzuussss... the freaking Korner has never been so damn crowded. I would remind y'all that you're crazy... but it would roll off like water off a duck.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll do another series, but one never knows. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

I'm looking forward to this one. For once I have an idea that will work nicely!

Thanks for reading! Shadow Effect is actually part 2 of a three part series Spirit Wolves is #1 The Light at the End of the Tunnel is #3 So go enjoy when you have a chance and don't forget to recommend if you haven't already done so!

It's been a rough few days. This about sums it up for me:

Happy Friday Y'all! It's been a rollercoaster of a week. Hubs is off to urgent care again. Now it's something weird going on with back pain- but it's not muscular. We've all been battling colds too. I'm a couple steps closer to finally hiring someone for my front desk position. One more interview today. I've already weeded out a lot of resumes. It's astonishing how many people don't at least spellcheck their resume before submitting it. Hope everyone has a good day!

We would. You have a good day too!

Nope.. you lucked out. I heard that you and Dan were taking good care of tim after his tooth extraction. I knew you would. (But if you didn't then we would be having a moment lol)

This time of year I have no problem letting people stay a few extra hours as it's our slow season... provided they come up and freaking ask! Common sense has gone the way of the dinosaur. It's a good thing they are taking good care of you and we won't have to find out. I will keep this suggestion for future reference. Thanks!

Quick little poll... How many of you think it is perfectly OK to extend their stay somewhere.. i.e., a hotel or Airbnb, without making prior arrangements? I am astonished at the number of guests who ignore our check out time of 11am. Look.. if you need more time just come to the office and talk to us. In most cases I can give you a few extra hours. But don't just assume you can leave whenever it strikes your fancy because guess what? You now have an extended check out charge, or if you're not gone by the time I am at the end of the day then you'll be charged an entire extra night. What is wrong with people?

I'm glad it went smoothly. Let your guys take care of you for a bit... (or I may need to have words with them). I hope this is the end of your tooth issues. ❤️

Beautiful my friend, Beautiful.

Brilliant. Especially #21 😁 #22 we can all relate #23 absolutely chilling. #24 no sunset is complete without the color purple. #25 clowns.. hard to write about. Some are fine. Others are creepy. #26 beautiful words. #27 more beautiful words. Well done, tim. Thank you!

A big thanks to the Anthology team. I'm glad I got to try something new and read some amazing submissions.

Overall this whole week has been sort of a $#!+ show. I'm sure we're not the only ones glad to see it end. Here's to a much better weekend!🎉 Happy Friday!

I have earned.. tenosynovitis which is an inflamed tendon sheath rather than the tendon itself. I'm not sure if the treatment will be the same but I will find out next Tuesday. I also earned a few other unexpected things with big long Latin names that weren't on the radar.. boils down to some sort of cyst in the middle of my foot and a bunch of arthritis. Aging... yay... not. I have little faith that this will be healing any time soon. Hope everyone has a good night!

Thanks Gary!

Grocery shopping on Tuesday morning. I have no problem with this. It's the retired snowbirds who are out in droves on a Saturday morning clogging up the aisles with their mobility scooters or stopping in the middle and making it impossible to get around them while Fred and Ethel debate brands of prunes... There should be designated times for people to shop according to age group and working status.

This story has a bit of everything if you enjoy the suspense/thriller genre. Which I do! Great plot with some unusual twists and turns. A few well-placed cliffhangers- my favorite thing when I'm writing- but not when I'm reading, as well as intrigue and of course some romance. I'm definitely looking forward to more adventures with Jamie and friends. Thanks for a great story!
