A twisting force that tends to cause rotation.
Not to be confused with twerk.
And some of our newer drills have enough to send that long deck screw into the wood so quickly that you don't realize how deep it's going. Until of course, it stops but the drill keeps going and torques your wrist. Not conducive to stitching. We decided to reinstall the old boards, too much expense right now, and the excavator changed bucket size to keep the work area to a minimum. Good thing husband started this himself because there is no guarantee that hired help will show, they just don't have enough workers.
With the recent rains, we have a real disaster and the clay soil is like walking on quicksand. As you start sinking, your shoe disappears and it's hard to get out. Extensive, and it will be quite some time before the dirt settles and they can come out to level and seed. The brats are NOT happy with this situation and leaving muddy prints everywhere.
My return visit to the new doc early Wednesday after the previous long wait and walk out, did not materialize. This is the third time in six months that they called early and said the doctor would not be in. I have no idea if there is a family health problem, but I need a doctor, trying another as new patient in August. I asked both offices and neither will drop a patient because they visited other doctors to find the right one, as my PCP of 30 years did. So I'm not concerned about being blindsided and refused to be seen.
I've stopped all meds months ago, I know it's foolish. But waking up with hard palps and shaky hands distracts you. I can take Advil again, and my daily monitor of blood pressure had been on the button. Have no idea why with all the stress, wondering if the Plaquenil raised it? It lowered when I stopped. Whatever. Advil has helped my wrist and we are finished with the drivers. Hoping to do some swing sitting and stitching between phone calls tomorrow. The nursing home has not been able to contact anyone from the assistance office about her application, they are still not open.
Happy Friday folks.

Happy Friday, Marly.
Can not believe all that you've had to deal with.
Glad you have tools and Mark to fix what has been torn up. That clay situation is awful.
Sorry about your doctors.........Glad you could find a new one. Hope this one will have the answer to help your eyes.
My Momma never told me that life would be like it has been........I'm sure yours didn't either.
Sure do wish my John was here with me.....so glad you have Mark.
God bless your kitties.
Hugs and happy 4th weekend.

Happy Friday. I hope you can relax a little today and during the holiday weekend. You have had more than enough going on. I hope the new doctor is more reliable than your current one. I am not surprised about the difficulty contacting the assistance office. Take care of yourself.
Marly, I don’t know why you aren’t running down the street screaming or sitting in the closet humming to yourself. You have so much to deal with. I could not cope and yet you still manage a few stitching on a sampler. I wish you more strength and some good news somewhere Have a happy and peaceful 4th of July. I think of you often, take care of yourself .
Well, at least maybe the rain helped all that clay settle back down faster? OTOH, it's also slippery where you don't sink down. It's a good thing you and Mark have the tools, materials, and ability to put the deck back. I hope your next doctor attempt works out, stinks that it's so far off. Foolish to stop the meds? Maybe not, it sounds like combined with the stress you've been under they weren't doing you any good. It seems with so many other things opening, that assistance office needs to get its act together. Assuming they have any staff left that is. I hope you get lots of stitching in between phone calls. (((hugs)))
I often wonder if dropping some meds is not an advantage. I am hearing more and more about the awful side effects that are eliminated when some meds are discontinued. I recall one that sent me up a wall and how I returned to normal when I stopped.I am almost afraid to ask where some of these formulas are compounded these days...This is info we should have...Your Mark is a wonder and I hope you both can sit back and relax
over the weekend and take a mini vacation from concerns, doctors and earth-moving....
Serenity and a great Fourth food fest, dear one.
Marly I did the same and stopped with my meds after reading what they can do to my health. Oh yes the cardioloog said it was stupid of me and he would give me another one,but with the same result -- no way I will take these pills and have pain and other trouble.
What a mess with that clay and rain!
Hope you both can relax and enjoy the fourth today.
Take care and stay save and sending prayers for you all.
Big hug and lots of love,Truus from Holland
Marly: With the price of lumber nowadays its a shame, they are ripping people off, especially when people are struggling with the past year, we also reused the lumber we had down, no need to spend more money that is not needed, a new coat of stain and a new looking front porch.
Wow that is some mud, I hope the brats did not drag any into your home.
I do hope you find a doctor who can help you, its a shame they keep cancelling you just before your appointments.
Stay strong my Friend.
Happy Fourth
Catherine
May you find time to relax this 4th of July and for a day set everything aside...and find time to breathe and stitch.
May God bless America!!!
What a mess with the doctors, Marly! I hope you find a new one that is more reliable, communicative, and personable. (Is there such an animal?!). Had to laugh at your "torque not to be confused with twerk" comment. And now I can't get the image of you, Mark, and the workers twerking around your deck as you put things back in place :)
Good luck to you and I hope you can find some stitching time and relaxation on this beautiful 4th of July here in western PA ♥
