Slip and Fall
By Daddy
Las Vegas — Last night I had a "slip 'n fall" in the bathtub. I'm stiff today and have a few bruises but otherwise OK. The curtain rail suffered much more than I did, It'll need to be replaced. The safety rails that I have previously requested are on backorder because of COVID19. A new bathtub mat is likewise on order and I should have it towards the end of the month.
I'm taking it easy today and moving slowly but surely. Don't have any appointments until next week so I'll just putter around and perhaps read a good book or two. It sure sucks to be old; it makes me wonder how the politicians in their 70s and 80s manage. I'm going to stick with the: "It's time for the next generation to take over!"
September 22nd was "National Voter Registration Day." LGBTQnation.com points out that: "States regularly purge their voter rolls. Check to make sure you're registered." With just about 40 days to the election the window is rapidly closing to be apart of this once in a lifetime event. Don't be one of those 20% in the LGBTQ+ community that won't get to have their voice heard."
