Thought your were joking but no vino phobia exists.
Cenosillicaphobia -fear of running out of beer.
NOCHOCOPHOBIA - fear of running out of chocolate. That would not be acceptable, although there is concern about shortages of cacao.
Were you praying that the lobsters were going to taste good?

It is the fear of running out of wine.
So funny especially about your cat or your cat’s behind being introduced to strangers. I am sure he/she is cute kitty.
Yeah, it was that kind of stress, and I forgot to say I passed the destination when driving dH to a tech meeting. But they served him pizza there, and I went home, did not have to cook. (No pizza for me, lol.)
Gershun,
If your cat wasn't the most famous before this, he is now!
This did make me laugh, picturing his butt-first presentation.
Golden,
Same here, dH will be able to do amazing intelligent things, even remember. However, cannot follow a simple instruction coming from me. I cancelled the editing/printing project we were doing for the last two days. It became so frustrating and discouraging to me when he deleted the new draft and kept the old draft instead. I cannot complete the project without him, so I cancelled it to save my own life, (and his).
Thinking, I was trying too hard. Now, I am not. No one will miss the Newsletter!
I get what I call “overwhelmedness paralysis” and shut down. My brain goes off on its own for a break.
I am happy and relieved to report that I am myself again.
You, Send, are under a great deal of stress. Much responsibility with little to no control. You can only react. Have confidence that you will be yourself again.
So, hubs and I are at the grocery store the other day. I was at the seafood section. I'm a big animal/any living being lover so I go over to the lobster tank and pray for the lobsters. (Yes, I know) Anyways, I see the girl working there looking at me and smiling. So I walk over to her and say "Oh, you must have seen me praying for the lobsters" She just looked at me with her hand by her ear indicating she couldn't hear me. So I said it louder. She still couldn't hear. But others could. I walked away with my face so red. Then I looked down and saw that my fly was undone too. Yep, yep, yep..............
Same day I'm in the elevator of my bldg. A realtor was in there with a potential tenant. I had my cat in his carrier with me. I held the carrier up and said "Here's the most famous tenant in the bldg" They both kind of just looked at me. When I got out of the elevator I realized my cat's butt was facing the opening so that's all they probably got a glance of.
Yeah, just another day in the life of someone who always puts her foot in their mouth.
beatty - ((((hugs))) to you. Sorry about the covid and the haggard look, but the weight loss would be more than OK in my book.
R is doing very well, but he does have some specific memory loss - the password (which he used daily) to his bashed up phone. Yet he is going through the papers he recovered from his vehicle and knows exactly what is missing. Perhaps it will come back yet. I think he has some other memory loss too which is to be expected. Now that the headaches are less he notices it more. It shook him when he saw his vehicle at the pound. His injuries could have been so much worse. His leg with the knee replacement was not injured at all. Praise God!!!
Thanks for your support everyone!
Making very small changes can help.
Today, I am able to pay bills.
The sweet potato plant can be revived and trimmed.
I found a neighbor who knows how to do this, and she can plant them next to her russet potatoes.
Btw "How about "Move more, eat less?"
I told my Doctor a while back I had put on weight, added I had moved less, eaten more. He paused, looked at me, laughed.
Have a laugh too. It's all we can do, right?
Since then, Covid visited (again). I lost my taste & smell. Lost weight, got more grey hair. I have stayed slimmer, although probably more "what's wrong with her" rather than "What's she doing?"
Haggard is my new look. I am embracing it.
Stay strong!
If I take my eyes off my dH, he closes the blinds over the parakeet sitting in the window, now trapped with no food or water. Discovery is 2 hours later when I cannot find the bird at bedtime. This has happened twice in one month.
The stress from the requirement of constant supervision has affected me, and the threat of fires has me stressed out. We are both sleeping too much, but he just does not get up anymore at 9:00 a.m. and it takes until 4 p.m. to leave the house-both of us have anxiety.
I bank by telephone (computer challenged), and forgot the phone number.
I called later and was successful. So, it is intermittent.
Health insurance has me baffled and I could hardly navigate the system to receive the required pre-authorization before, but now, I just will not be able to do it at all.
That gall bladder surgery will need to wait until it is an emergency. Today, I have nausea and scratchy, dry eyes.
Paying bills will be enough to do for the first two weeks in August.
My sweet potato plants died yesterday when changing the water, left out in the sun without water. My fault when dH said he filled them with water and I did not double check if it was true.
It is just too hot outside.
Rant over.
I haven't heard from Needs, and I don't think Waytomisery has either. She had the health issues, then a young good friend of her daughters and family died, suddenly. a
I haven't seen anything sence from her. 😞
That was just around the time of your vacation.
I am, however, concerned about NeedHelpWithMom who has been gone a while I hear? When I left she had a syncopal episode and some low heart rate concerns and was wearing a heart monitor which was troublesome only in some itchy leads. I head she hasn't been posting for a while? Has anyone heard from her?
I know intellectually that I need to exercise to get my stamina up but my get up and go has gotten up and left lately.
As for my foot. It stills hurts occasionally if I wear the wrong shoes. But otherwise it's doing good.
(and it's FUN)
I'm trying not to say that anymore, people give me a look, and roll there eyes.
I've never had an issue with weight, or I have but the opposite issue. I realized I shouldn't be giving dieting advice.
It's like someone giving child raising advice that never had kids. Lol
So I'm 🤐
I don't remember who said that.
and could be dangerous in the older population.
[This is just a joke, imo].
Every now and then I stop for a bit for what ever reason, and my anxiety comes back. Then I'm like dummy start moving.
I use to get my summer exercise in the pool, but since we don't have one this year I gotta change it up
You mentioned skipping your walks Gershun - does that mean you are finally over your broken foot?
Exercise is my natural anxiety pill. Which I've been really slacking a little because of the humidity, and mentally I'm starting to feel it. hubby has a back issue, lately so when he sits around he likes me to sit with him.
Boccie tonight, that will get me outta this funk.
