Belt or Suspenders?

 Recently, I made a purchase of a pair of suspenders - not a nice set like to go with a suit, but a practical one for fat guys - it is thick and strong. I decided to go back to wearing them, as it is just too much of a hassle all the time to walk around holding up my shorts. Seems no matter how many holes I add to the belt, it just doesn't hold them up as well. My thing about suspenders, however, is you basically have to wear them with your shirt tucked in. I don't like. Being heavy is bad, too, and I feel like to shows off my "fatness" in the abdomen. But I will suck it up, and wear them. So much better.

As happens each month, I attended our regular monthly Auxiliary meeting this past Tuesday night. Usually I walk out of these feeling like nothing pertained to me, and most times that is true. So I was only half listening when we had a verbal disturbance crop up. I'm not going into details, but I was requested to provide a witness account of the event. I typed that up prior to getting here, and I admit, I don't like doing it. I am not a fan of one of the persons involved, and I really did not like writing this report, but I did it. I also included a statement about my encephalopathy, and how it affects my short-term memories, and that I reported as best I could. I left out details that happened, that really didn't need to be in the report.

So I sent that off, and immediately received a reply from the Treasurer/Secretary thanking me and commenting it would be fine, and the bottom line is being truthful. <eyeroll>.

Tomorrow is our Rider's Dinner, and reading RM's blog this morning, I see she takes her Rider Dinner nights pretty seriously. I guess she feels she doesn't see me enough, and if this is the only way for her to have five minutes with me, so be it. Trying to make my list of what I need to bring for tomorrow: saltines, cash for cashbox, and I think that is all I need to worry about.

Yesterday was draining day, and I got a surprise. They were only able to drain about 8.6L of fluid, rather than the max of 10L and b even better than the higher amounts they were getting. Hoping it is not a fluke, and something is starting to work correctly again, but won't know. Mayo testing is in a week and a half.

Okay, cutting this short as I need to get moving. Figure a bank run and then head to the post.
