I thought I felt someone watching me!

The fam here is doing well. We’ve had a few more earthquakes since yesterday, all small intensity and not as many as the previous two days. I’m sorry for worrying people.
It was a challenging day for me yesterday. We had been taking care of a dog for a family who went to the US for a while. Yesterday we shipped the dog interior to be with the family. But the dogs, ours and the visitor, sensed something was up and had been demanding a lot of attention for the previous 24-hours. I put the dog into his crate for his flight and secured all the latches myself. But, that smart little pooch panicked when the loaders picked up the crate to weigh him and get ready to put on the plane. This is a small craft, not a big jet. Anyway, that dog freaked and somehow pushed the bottom of the door and got it open enough to streak out and across the street (not busy) to a mission compound. The guards at the compound saw what was happening and closed the gates so Sparky, that dog, couldn’t get back out. I had almost left the parking lot, but quickly parked my car and joined four of the loaders chasing that !@#$%^&*OIUY%$#$%^&UIOI canine all over the compound. It isn’t even MY organization!!! After about 10 or 15 minutes, Sparky was worn out and let me catch him. This time the loaders zip-tied that crate shut.
So, that was one event. I miss Sparky. But, this is a better all-round situation for him and for us and for his family.
The next event followed immediately. I drove the car I was borrowing back up to the school and returned it to the parking lot. I then crossed the road and tripped over a crack in the pavement. My ankle rolled and down I went. Not only did my ankle throb, but I bruised my thigh and skinned my knee. I don’t bounce anymore when I fall and that made me ache all day.
Finally, that evening was our weekly high school basketball game (these games end in mid-April). One of the hs classes always preps a meal to fund raise for their senior trip. It is a good time to visit and kibutz. Last night was no exception.
The sad part was my friend telling me that her husband was in their restaurant in Jayapura and saw and photographed that fish barbecue restaurant collapsing into the ocean. Her restaurant survived but is now being used by the government to shelter and help about 200 people who have been displaced by the quakes, their own homes being unsafe now. I inquired if there was a need for volunteers to help. She didn’t think so.
Finally, the games were over about 2000 hours. I crept home, took my soma, and went off to dreamland. The pain from my fall developed throughout the day and I couldn’t wait to sleep.
It wasn’t a horrible day, just not one where I thought about getting online.
Oh, yes, at the game, I kept getting inquiries from people of that other organization, “didn’t I see you running around base this morning,” and “I was just enjoying my Quiet Time with God, and I heard someone yelling, ‘Sparky.’ It sounded like you. Was that you?” The world-wide CEO of that organization is currently visiting. He said, “I was out on the porch this morning and thought I heard Mary Lott’s voice. I looked out and it WAS you.” Oh, the things I am famous for!
Certainly no one can say you have a dull life. LOL
Thankfully you didn’t break anything when you fell.
Appreciate your checking in so this worry wart can stop the worrying.
Actually, my daughter, who is registered here as “LionsDaughter”, told me that I am “dull, boring, and hopelessly old-fashioned.” I proudly agree with her.
Indeed!
Post that to Noah, please.....he seemed a little down, yesterday.
Yummy, as usual, lysie. Have a great, successful day, at the Legion.
Now, that.....is a full day :)
Glad you didn’t break anything....or, anyone.
Good morning, lysie!
Thanks for the grub, and especially, the plate of BACON for moi!
Thank you!
Hope you sell out of chicken at the Legion!
You and me both, ~~ glad about not breaking something, that is. Actually, between the fall and the games, I didn’t do hardly anything. I did a bit of work from my bed at home.
That’s good you were able to work, from bed.
Or, maybe I should say.....from PILLOWS!!
I can picture you all propped up.
Did you see this?
Trashing Anna Paulina Luna, she'll make them pay!
My story isn’t one the @washingtonpost wants to tell the truth about.
But the records and receipts speak for themselves. These were also sent to and confirmed by @FoxNews.👇🏼🧵 pic.twitter.com/OIAhOp73q9— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) February 11, 2023

Washington Post’s ‘bizarre,’ ‘comical’ profile of Anna Paulina Luna littered with errors, congresswoman says
The New York Times reached out to Luna’s office about a similar story, but didn’t publish it
By Thomas Phippen | Fox News
Freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said Friday that the Washington Post’s profile of her contained several mischaracterizations and factual errors, and said its suggestion that she only embraced her Hispanic heritage in order to run for office shows how far the mainstream press will go to attack conservatives.
“As I’ve said before, and as the Washington Post has clearly showcased, anyone who is a conservative minority is a threat to Leftist control,” Luna told Fox News Digital. “They can try to discredit me, but unfortunately for them the facts completely blow their story out of the water.”
The Post story, based on interviews with relatives and former friends, calls into question aspects of Luna’s biography and falsely reported that she once registered as a Democrat, she said. Luna added that the Post’s story bears a striking resemblance to claims that the New York Times began reporting on earlier this year, but never published.
The Washington Post article states: “Luna’s sharp turn to the right, her account of an isolated and impoverished childhood, and her embrace of her Hispanic heritage have come as a surprise to some friends and family who knew her before her ascent to the U.S. House this year.”
The Post reported that Luna “registered to vote as a Democrat in Washington state” in 2017, though there is no place on the state’s voter registration form that asks for party identification. The Post corrected that claim in the story after Fox News Digital requested comment, and noted in the updated story that the claim was “based on an erroneous voter registration database.”
Otherwise, the Post defended its story.
“We have corrected one piece of factual information that was based on a database error. This deeply reported story about Rep. Luna’s biography includes ample perspectives from people who have known her throughout her life,” Washington Post’s vice president of communications Shani George said.
In another instance, the Post story appears to question details about Luna’s childhood. The story reported that Luna has claimed her biological father was in and out of jail, which led to a chaotic upbringing, but also stressed that the paper could find no evidence that Luna’s father, George Mayerhofer, was ever incarcerated.
However, Luna’s office easily provided Fox News Digital with Lexis-Nexis reports that show Mayerhofer did spend time behind bars.
A court filing for a drug felony charged against Mayerhofer shows he was arrested and went through court proceedings in custody, and was brought back into custody for violating probation agreements. The court records show his case was dismissed.

The Left always goes after the ones they fear the most.
Glad you’re ok, hope today is a little more dull.
Exactly, look what they have tried to do to Matt Gaetz, MTG, Jim Jordan and Lauren Boebert.
Have heard Ron Johnson talk about the lies spread about him.
And they will never stop smearing and trying to take out DJT.
I like that!

So Ratings Challenged, FAKE NEWS CNN, which just had their lowest & worst numbers in History, wants to give wacky liddle’ Bill Maher a shot at bringing them back to just normal “bad” when Bill Maher suffers from the same affliction as CNN — BAD RATINGS! How’s that for television “programming?” Actually, there’s only one person that can save CNN — he’s done it for 6 years — “TRUMP,” but he’s not available, he’s going to WIN the Presidency for the THIRD time, & save our Country from going to HELL!
Wow, I hope she stays on them.
