Carole King
“Jazzman”

Lift me, won’t you lift me above the old routine
Make it nice, play it clean, Jazzman

When the Jazzman’s testifyin’
A faithless man believes
He can sing you into paradise
Or bring you to your knees
It’s a gospel kind of feelin’
A touch of Georgia slide
A song of pure revival
And a style that’s sanctified

Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play
Jazzman, oh, Jazzman

When the Jazzman’s signifyin’
And the band is windin’ low
It’s the late night side of morning
In the darkness of his soul
He can fill a room with sadness
As he fills his horn with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel
When risin’ time is near

Jazzman, take my blues away
Make my pain the same as yours
With every change you play

Oh, lift me, won’t you lift me with every turnaround
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh, Jazzman

One of my favorite cats. 😜✨

Hubby helped with the garbage this morning. I had the last things ready by the door. I must have fallen asleep because when I looked outside everything was at the edge of our driveway. He also returned the barrels. Our van is now packed with donations. Our neighbor helped us load. So now our great room/living room is beginning to look uncluttered. Still have some cookbooks to sort and there is a place for the ones I will keep.

I think my hubby overdid it today. The pain is back and the leg still gives way. However, I do know that the injection of steroids may not be the answer, but will help in the long run. At this point I am glad that they are trying other methods that may help for awhile. Just do not know if surgery is a good idea right now. I am hearing different stories on the anesthesia and the possibility of dementia. This is something I will check if and when the time comes. His next appointment is in December.

I haven’t mentioned a mam appointment in some time. I had problems and still have questions on their new number where you speak to a person and tell her where you need to go. Unfortunately, I kept getting the surgical area where you leave a message. And that’s what I did, but, I was never contacted. I finally gave up and since hubby’s orthopedist is in the same building I stopped by. I explained the situation and instead of being late for the mam, I was quite a few months too early. My appointment is not due until after the first of the year. They will contact me . Will also do the bone scan the same day. I could have sworn they wanted to do another mam to check on another thing they found. Oh well. I won’t complain. Bet it will be at the time of a booster and it will be another wait time.

The Physical Therapist was here and he had exercises that actually helped. Both were happy people today. He said it was quite a work out.

Cannot believe that another week has flown by. Tomorrow is Trivia. By the way, seems there were a couple of posts in our Trivia thread from last week. I answered.

No spoonbill. Wonder if he is with your BIL?????? Hoping and praying for a miracle. Hope it’s possible.

Sheba, how I would love 40 degrees. We had another hot day, in the 90’s. Wearing the thin Heidi bangles (check).
Hope your day is going well and that your bil is doing as best possible.

I am on Next Door in my area and it is the same with the lost dogs and cats. I guess people going in and out of their home and the pets dart out. Or the kids not paying attention. That is why I always kept a collar on my dogs except at night when sleeping. I have gotten a lot of good tips/names/numbers on the site for contractors, doctors, dentists, things for sale, etc. I look just about every day.

Sounds like we have the same weather. 60’s next couple days and back to the 70’s next week. I have long sleeves and pants on today. Not complaining. Didn’t sleep good last night so kind of dragging. Soup and sandwiches for dinner on a fall day.🥣🥪

Mom Friday tomorrow, not sure yet how much running around we will do. When I drop mom off at the hair salon, it takes about 1-1/2 hours until she is done so I can run errands for her while I wait.

Enjoy your cool weather and walks without sweating. I’m sure this is perfect for Poppy.🤗
