That narcolepsy alarm sounds great to me. It might fly. In the last years there have been myriad "tickets" - mostly stop signs but various others. Is there some rule that people who are highly intelligent also have a tendency to be dense/ forgetful/stubborn... After numerous efforts over the years re his phone, it is now connected to a couple cords and firmly attached to shirt pocket... He did, however get caught using it recently; the fine was sufficient!!! Just Maybe, an alarm could prevent a more serious problem. I, of course, never heard of such a thing!
I have been spending far too much time on the political side of things, and forgetting to check on friends... My family is too scattered and we fail to communicate adequately. I feel like an orphan a lot of the time - Sure I could call - if I knew the right time... Anyway, Son Troy phoned a couple days ago to tell me my GD's third baby had gone into some kind of distress and was removed about a month prematurely and was in ICU .... no word after 3 days. He said he would let me know??? Anyway, this re-assuring mother told him that he was three weeks early and 6 pounds More concerned for GD! I Called Troy once already and he assures me he will let me know... Ally is in NYC and Troy on Whidbey! but his ex is on deck with her daughter! (She is pretty solid)
What with tha, politics and other things, I became kind of down and decided I needed yellow flowers. Not been a flower buyer generally, I checked grocery stores first. At the last hope, I looked on phone for hope. Ah, a garden shop in Valleyfield the place about 30 minutes away where I "always get lost" Lo and behold, the GPS and I did not communicate and I wandered unknown territory until a washroom was critical. Parked and went in a sort of automotive shop - saw the washroom!, went in, without ceremony, did what was necessary. When I came out a very nice young man who spoke English, helped me refind the place on my phone. Eventually ... A large building with lots of schlock and -- well, everyone wants red for Christmas???? Took my miserable self home! Once again I had seen more of Valleyfield...
today, I stayed in bed until - I NEED YELLOW FLOWERS!!! Ate BF and opened computer, considering the state of the world and the construction in Chateauguay.... Considered going to the city (Atwater Market would surely...! ... Too late now! Bridge traffic! Asked phone for a garden or flower place near by - Actually - a florist shop, very lovely with a real address five minutes away. Paid a fortune for a few yellow cut flowers and came home in better shape. The woman who helped me was very kind. I need kindness, I need to know how the baby is doing, and how the world is doing. But I can sit in my comfy chair and look at bright yellow - Gerbera, Lillies - just opening!!! and ???.
With flowers in car, I thought to stop by a market that has those packets of Asian food. As I arrived they were cleaning the the shelves - closing! So I bought all the packets they had and came home - flowers and food! - for the spirit and the body!
My eyes are getting tired! But I have yellow flowers!
