Abby has scrapped and fought her way to a remarkable recovery, basically back to normal, or I should say “new” normal. She’s walking on her own, sometimes with an attitude. Head has straightened out, and, most importantly, she’s needling Matilda to fight with her, something not seen in almost a month. Btw, the “new” normal includes diapers….
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Papico
After staring at the frozen treats section near the checkout counter at the local supermarket for the past three months, the accumulation of “natsubate” made me weak and I succumbed to purchasing a box of Papico.
Since I was old enough to watch tv, I’ve been vulnerable to marketing/promotion schemes- a cool product name, attractive packaging, a catchphrase. It’s rare I walk by a vending machine without checking out the offerings, I would hazard a guess that’s how I make 90% of my purchases, regardless of price commitment.
I had no idea what was in the Papico box, but a few years ago I watched a drama that had a darling sexy character named Papico. My mind went like this- I thought she was sweet and wonderful. And the she was probably named after the product, so the product must be sweet and wonderful too!
I was right! Iced treats with flavors like chocolate coffee and white sour!! (No, I don’t know what flavor white sour is! Just it’s refreshing and wonderful, just like my Papico!)

Dreams
It must’ve been the heat or the lemon sours I’e been drinking the last couple days. My evening dreams have been sweat-inducing and sudden wakeups.
On more than one occasion, these dreams have brought me back to my hometown where I’m with Kurt(of course!) and we’re trying to bury the body of someone who was accidently killed and we would be to blame. Even in the middle of the dream, I’m asking myself how I got into such a predicament, fully aware I should not be there.

Memory
Recent conversation with wife at a restaurant about the new coasters placed on the table. One problem. She alerted me that we had already had this conversation about a month prior. I had and still have no recollection of any discussion like that. I looked at the coasters as if it was the first time I’d seen them. Is this how old age memory loss begins? If so, scary AF.
