Female Hiker Released...So What, and Acupuncture a Bust

Saw that the American woman being held in Iran was released today, and that's good, but what was she doing there? I'll usually will be the first one to tell you I don't know what I'm talking about, probably don't here, but why was she "hiking" in a country we are at war with? She was hiking in a war zone, along the border with Iran? How much money has been spent trying to fix her freedom of choice mistake, and is she going to be responsible for paying it back. Hope the 2 guys get freed as well, but not if my kids have to go there to make it happen.

Think I might be done with acupuncture? It doesn't appear to be doing that much for me, not on a long term basis anyway. It doesn't hurt, it's rather relaxing, but it isn't worth the money or the time since it doesn't last. The wife won't let me go by myself, so each time she is going too, and we only have 6 visits left that are covered by insurance. Biggest thing is I have to sit and take it easy the day I have it, and then it hurts the next day anyway.

Labor Day Celebration, Acupuncture, and Attitude Adjustment

Had a great Labor day, didn't get the pool closed, do it tomorrow I guess. The wife's family was here, always a good time. The wife put on her usual spread, everyone was stuffed. Nice day, as long as the breeze was a blowin, and you didn't have to move. I went out to plug the wheelchair in, still in the shed, was soaking wet by the time I got finished! Noting worse than a cool, humid day, with the exception of a hot one, I'm moving to the arctic.

Had acupuncture session #2, feel great right now, wonder how long it will last? The puncture dude did his thing, had the fountain right by my head, soft sounds of nature playing in the background, and a heat lamp to make the room nice and toasty. The plan was to let me rest a bit, come back in and apply some vacuum cup thingies. He came back in and was very concerned, wanted to know if I was OK? I asked why and he said I was soaking wet, he couldn't figure out why? I told him it was warming light he had me laying under, kind of like a burger at Bob's Big Boy! We agreed to skip the warming light next time.

Have a fella coming to trim everything outside, put that nice crisp edge on the sidewalks, along the flower beds. The boy hasn't mastered the fine art of the trimmer yet, and isn't very interested in doing so. Both kids are suddenly lacking in some of the domestic skills I need help with, we are going to address that in the upcoming days. I'm sure they feel that at 22 and 18 they are adults and don't necessarily have to listen to me, and I suppose they are right. I also suppose I could have the locks changed at any moment, so we shall see how this shakes out.
