I am having a rather rough time these days. I put my crutches aside on Saturday. It went fairly well, but I clearly need my appointments with orthopedics next week and month. And a few other appointments as well, but I must not go on about my physical ailments. It is so tiresome, although I understand it can be typical of women my age. Oh, how I hate to be typical!
I prefer to be colorful.
I quickly throw in an unexpected photograph. Who could be uncheered by a drag queen? Not me, I feel better already. I really do not have much to blog about currently. Last night I covered the Ilion Village Board meeting. While there, a trustee asked me was I going to cover the DooDah Parade on Friday. I emailed my editor at the Daily Sentinel and asked if she wanted me to. I did last year.
A shot from last year’s DooDah Parade.
I hitched a ride on a float of one of the American Legions. This is a picture I took from it as the parade started. It was a lot of fun.
And who doesn’t love a classic car?
Last year’s parade was notable because the Grand Marshal was an exchange student who returned for the 50th Class Reunion. I got a picture of him in the fancy car loaned for the occasion. I do not even know what this year’s DooDah theme is. Ilion Days had completely dropped off my radar, due to my health problems (oh dear, I mustn’t get back on those again!).
At any rate, I am over 250 words. I can bill this as a Tired Tuesday post and drive on. We shall see what the rest of the week will bring!

Health problems? I saw someone I used to work with on Monday, we discussed ailments, who has died and her dogs. They are called havapoos. We then discussed my infantile sense of humour. This is conversation when you get to a certain age. 🙂
Comparing health problems can be fun; a blog post of me pissing and moaning I am thinking not so much. I am confused as to what is called havapoos: the dogs, the ailments or the conversation?
You are right, in writing, ailments are less interesting. The dogs are the havapoos – Havanese x Poodle.
Ooh, I love poodle mixes!
