2026: back again. Tired of wasting my best stuff in comments that disappear on Facebook.
No more big adventures, caregiver to a family member with Alzheimer's. (Did I say no more adventures?....) ;)
In June of 2013 my full USAF retirement benefits kicked in. Getting that on top of my County retirement.
In 2014 I was ablated for atrial fibrillation. I was re-ablated in 2018 for atrial flutter. Lately, got my high blood pressure under control and no more fib or flutter mostly.
Had a grandson since I signed off, started middleschool. GDaughter in HS, driving.
Three pets joined us in 2011. a 5 lb chihuahua and two sibling 15 lb mutant cats.
