Happy Random Tuesday

 Let's link up with Stacy and Sandee for some random happiness.

Although I'm not sure how happy my post will be today. My previous post on Thursday took a while due to having intermittent power and wifi, so that's not today's problem, but there are plenty of others.

But now, we've made it through the horrible ice storm.  We lost power a while, then it would come on, go off, come on, go off. Same with the water.  However, some people still do  not have any power or water.  And many of us were under boil notices for water, and some still are.  I am grateful things are getting back to normal now, though.

I finally get to take my mom to the vascular surgeon and the wound care doctor today.  The ice storm really interfered with that!  Two cancelled appointments. I hope we can get her some relief.

My daughter is dealing with a loss, a profound loss.  See... her best friend Jenny died at age 14 in a freak accident on a 4-wheeler, right about the time her parents were getting back together.  It's been ten years.  A few years later, Jenny's dad passed after a bout with cancer.  And just two days ago, Jenny's mom passed; we don't know how.  She had cancer, but she beat it.  We aren't sure why she passed so suddenly.  I just saw her 3 months a go at my daughter's wedding, and my daughter saw her last month.  The world is missing three beautiful souls.

And me?  Again, nothing too happy going on.  Dealing with a personal issues that may have repercussions on the entire rest of my life.  No big deal... right?  Not to mention that I started a new medication today for my allergies that comes with the possibility of side effects such as ...

Agitation, aggression, or hostility
Attention problems
Nightmares
Depression
Anxiousness
Hallucinations
Memory problems
Sleepwalking
Trouble sleeping
Suicidal thoughts or suicide

Let's just get to the funnies, shall we?

And last, but not least...
