--There's a lot that's transpired in my life.  For one thing, I've left Omaha, Nebraska, ending up back in El Paso, Texas as my permanent residence.
  
   The frequent falls I was taking due to snow and ice and related problems forced me to give up a lovely one-bedroom apartment in the downtown Omaha district.  It got so I became wary of walking the streets, if there were any incline to them!  Also, I had one really bad fall in my bedroom last fall. when in the dark I reached out for what I thought would be the wall, only to miss short of it and fall flat on my face, hurting my shoulder--scary.

So, I left and first tried LA downtown, only to find there's a problem with bed bugs that I had encountered when I lived there--having turned down taking a room through one of the agencies there because I experienced a hoard of bed bugs the one night I stayed.  Luckily, I hadn't given up the room I was staying in down the block.  The advantage to the new place would have been the cheaper rent.  Anyway, I hope I still have in LA the chance to get into assisted living quarters, should I ever need it.

The day I started to clean out my nice apartment downtown Omaha I took another fall in the ice and snow.  Because I had thought the weather for the day would be mild, I hadn't worn my boots, my sneakers instead.  Big mistake.  Anyway, for several weeks, my leg--the one I had had operations on in Reno--hurt like hell--including during the trip to El Paso!

Well, I'm settled in El Paso, enjoying it muchly.

--I've got updates to do to some of the last ruminations' entries.  That's next.
