D D It' s a Saturday morning....yawn

Did get to sleep a little later than on a week day.













Lady didn't hear any activity and was quiet until 7 a.m.

Then the low noises began and so did my day. Got up and let her out to pee.
 Hubby got another hour and a half sleep.
So too did Jill and Butch.
Yep .....you read that right. :0(    He slept in the Big Bed.
Knew it wouldn't last long, so I wasn't surprised.   Just disappointed.

   The little kitten was here awhile ago. Watched Charlie eat and never got brave enough to walk up the bulkhead to finish off what Charlie left. :0(
Butch pushed it further away from that bedroom door and maybe it just might come back.
 I wouldn't mind having a kitten/cat in the house again, but fear I'd be inviting trouble with having the 3 ferrets.

   Tracie was at the door last night.
Her greeting is always, "what's new?"
This time I answered, "nothing'.
Did that shorten her visit.    Hell no!
She did come into town the night before.  It must have been after I last looked out the front door.
Once again I was taken away from what I was doing in my bedroom to sit at the table and make idle chat.
Two hours of NOTHING. :0(  Writing this has made me decide to take my knitting out to the diningroom and knit and give an occasional ....grunt to acknowledge what she is yapping about.
Her sister, her brother, her apartment, where she is thinking of going to eat supper.
Oh that reminds moi. She came a few minutes before 6 p.m. last night as I looked at the clock when she said that the realter called and left a message that they would be showing the house at 5 p.m.
She told me she decided to come over here and get out of the house.
I said "Tracie it's almost 6."  
She said, " I know...I was just thinking maybe they got caught in trafiic or had some other delay."
I replied back that they had probably came and left before she came into town....which is most likely what did happen.
Maybe if I knit during the hours she is here, I won't feel so down in the dumps about my time being a total waste.
It won't be the most comfortable position to knit in, but what the Hell!
I am beginning to resent her intrusion on my life.  sigh!

   Tonight I/ WE are going to the Moose Club to see a comedian.  :0)
The WE if hubby feels up to it.  His pain level is high at the end of the day.
I will go with or without him.  There was a time that I wouldn't dream of  doing that and there also was a time that if I did make that decision ...he would raise the roof.
Age did mellow him on some things...somethings ...NOT!
Jill bought the tickets. It's being held to benefit  special needs children. 
She and whine bucket went to see this guy last year and said he is hillarious.
 I can do with some Hillarious!  I shit you not!

   Looks like we will be having another nice day.
Jill and whine bucket just left...each in their seperate vehicles. It's 9:30 a.m.
Where to?????
Bars are closed....that much I know. :0)

   Think I will begin deleting some junk out of my thumbnails and pictures .
Maybe pick up my knitting.
Maybe even clean out and re-organize that corner appliance hider that holds a mixer, an iron..a blender , a food chopper and lots of other small crap related to that stuff.
Pressing cloth, spray bottle, water filler that came with the iron......you get the picture.
Maybe, maybe, maybe..... I shit you not!
That's All Folks!





  

D D Just hanging around

after going to the chiropractor and out to lunch with hubby.

Doing nothing and getting nowhere fast. 

The TO DO list will be here afrer I'm dead and gone.

   Jill has left for work. Early evening wedding at our local Elks Club.

Logan is still here with 2 or 3 friends in the livingroom.

May or may not go to Dracut. 

Nice day out. 69 degrees.  Told myself next nice day out I was going to tackle another shed. I lie!

Yesterday it wasn't as nice, but all the kids around were out in my front yard playing football and another of my vinyl picket fence tops got snapped off.

   Hubby and myself enjoyed warmed up beef stew and warm  crescent rolls 

for supper and Jill made herself, Butch and Logan fries, kielbasa, hot dogs and beans.
Heard the front door close at nine when she told Logan it was bedtime.
Butch was sent home again....back before 7 when Logan went to school.
He is doing alot of deep, loud, sighing.  He does that when he has stress.
Jill turning her head when he goes to kiss her and he catches her cheek must have added to his stress cause he is doing it more frequently than usual.
You always hear of women with low self esteem.......on men it looks worst. Just my own personal opinion.
   
     Hubby still can manage to get down the steps he built of wood into the crawlspace cellar under our bedroom where the furnace is.
Not without great difficulty though as he can't control his weak legs.
Decided he would change the furnace filter and look at what damage Randy sees down there.
His eyesight doesn't allow for him to see the pictures Randy took even on the tv screen.
Just can't make it out.
Crawled around down there in the dirt and got a looksee for himself.
Getting himself up and out of there was even more difficult.  :0(  It took a few attempts . His arms have also gotten weaker.   I could see myself calling 911.
I would guestimate between getting down there, changing a filter after he was able to un-screw what holds the plate on the heater that the filter is behind, putting it back on, crawling around to look at the foundation and dirt walls under it, and getting himself up and out to be able to crawl into the bathroom and pull himself up to a standing position on the toilet ....an entire 2 hours were involved.
I shut my tv off and stood inches away at the diningroom table making out bills and birthday cards so that I could hear him. Where were Jill and Butchie.....he got his clothing allowance from the fire department and the place he goes to buy his uniforms is in Lynn,MA which is maybe 30 miles from here.
While there he was going to use some of his allowance to buy a few T shirts for some of the guys alkies at the Moose. Jill asked him if he was efffin crazy. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy he whines. She gave him her opinion on how he needed stuff himself. He whined some more...it's good public relations. WTF!
She didn't change her mind and more whining....I can't do anything right. I shit you not!
Good public relations=  these guys will think I am a great guy and buy me a drink or two.
These t-shirts cost no out of pocket money to me and a rum and coke at the Moose Club is not a freebee  and I pay out of pocket for my drinks.
How can a T shirt with the fire truck station # he works at help public relations other than that...or am I missing something here.
Brings to mind the nickname I have given him and haven't used as of late. whine bucket, wb for short.
  Kids are out front playing football. Hear them through my open back door.  Maybe where it isn't as cold out the pickets won't snap off as easy. sigh!
  
   Tracie did not come into town yesterday and when I looked across the street and saw her parent's house dark..I breathed a sigh of relief.

    Some pictures Randy took of what we refer to as a cellar under this house. 

There's more.....none look good.  More work to be done from the looks of these pictures.








If you want to hear a VOICE please check out this 15 year old singing opera. :0)

Have to make a decision if Kenny can sleep over tonight.
Logan just told his step mom that he would let her know in an hour if he wants to go to Dracut.
When I asked him if Kenny could eat supper at home first he told me that's why Kenny likes to stay here.
He doesn't get as much food or snacks at home. :0(    sigh!


Some opera I like....this I like!  I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

Some people know how to enjoy their retirement or are able to.

RADIO FLYER CAR: Valley couple's Radio Flyer car turns heads - ktuu.com

Butch celebrated all day Tuesday and into the evening.
Looks like he wanted a home cooked meal and to sleep in the BIG BED last night.
Came crawling back a few times yesterday. Once before he worked an overttime shift before 8 in the morning and again after he got off work at 3 p.m.
Jill got a late start making her beef stew as she had a 3 p.m. doctor appointment to see if she had the shingles and get an RX for it.
Her doctor seems to think she has it.
Jill also asked to have a blood test order to be checked for Celiac Disease.
For some reason she thinks she has that.....the test will tell.
As her mother and being aware of the amount of Bayer apirin she takes a day...every day, I suspect it's her liver that is causing the severe stomach pain.
She has been addicted to apirin for years.  Went through Tylenol like crazy and when I told her what it was doing to her she switched to Bayer.  Like that makes a difference!  I think NOT!
100 tablets lasts her no time.  :0(
I would gather to guess she takes 10 or more a day.   I shit you not!
   My DIL Deb that is an R.N. says that one day she will just start bleeding like crazy.
 Forget the medical term used.
Some times it seems like she has a death wish.  :0(
Pain in her mind......pain in her body that a mother's love can't heal.  sigh!

   Around 6 p.m. she and Butch took off to CVS to get her RX's and I'm sure they went further up the road afterwards for some spirits at the Moose.
The stew was all together and simmering.
Before they left, Tracie came.  I was at the computer reading blogs and Logan let her in.
She could smell the food , but said she didn't come over to eat. Had just sprayed her hibiscus plant inside the house  and opened the windows and jsut came to sit a spell while the house was airing out.
She took a seat in our bedroom on the recliner and as time went by I was on edge with her piercing voice and laugh.
Knew hubby would be getting irratated as he was watching TV inches from where she sat..
Suggested the two of us go to the Outback.  Knew if I stayed she would have asked to eat and if she didn't I would have felt like shit for not offering  her supper where we had a huge pot of it cooking.
Figured I would get her away from the house and let hubby hear his TV and eat his stew without her at the table.  He can only be nice for just so long to her.  She has been pushing his limit of her as of late. sigh!
More than once she said she didn't come over here to eat and I do believe her. .
Directions say to use the spray for whiteflys outside, but we have been having rain,rain and more rain.
So she sprayed that gorgeous plant inside before it's lost to those darn whiteflys and still may be.
   So we went to the Outback and ate....tomorrow I will eat the beef stew. 
Told her before we left the restaurant I was going home and right to bed.
Okay...the home part was true...bed not.
Hubby watched his 11 p.m. show.. Curbing Your Enthusiasm while I looked to see what I missed in blogland in Peace and Quiet.  ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Must admit it was nice to get out for awhile though.  Seating arrangemts in her car were no different.
Maybe a little....had a hairbrush and flashlight under the left cheek of my arse.
Again we had to stop for her to play her daily numbers. Not my business, but it's a handful of tickets she takes in each time to play and always says to me it looks worse than it is.
Not my money.............not my concern.

     Butch got his home cooked meal, but he didn't get to sleep in the BIG BED.
She sent him home or he left...sometime after 10 p.m.
Was back this morning around 8:30. 
  This morning there was a new cat at her door eating Charlie's food.
It's just a young kitten, but it's feral. Can't take a step towards it without it's bolting.  sigh! 
It doesn't understand, " here,kitty,kitty,kitty."  :0(

   The sun is out today.  :0)
Chrsitine the hairdresser that comes to cut our hair at the house will be here at 1:30 p.m.
She is having lap band surgery Monday, so our appointment for the 16th was pushed up.
Think I will throw some dye in my hair.  It's been a long time in between coloring it.
   Jill and Butch will be taking off shortly. Her to get her bloodwork done and him to ?
Will have just one TV going and at present...the dryer.
Went through one cupboard last night and tossed some old baking pans that had seen better days.
I have soooooooooooooooo many different sized baking pans. Three sizes of spring form pans, 3 sizes of colanders, cupcake and muffin pans, cheesecake pans, pie savers, grater, sifter, loaf pans, pie pans, cake pans, deep dish lasagna pan, 2 stir fry pans, pizza stone,  turntables to set cakes on when I decorate them....KEY WORD is WHEN. Except for a year ago when I made my grandson Ryan's wedding cake and maybe 6 years before that Randy's short lived marriage wedding cake , I have retired from that lucrative hobby.
All these things and MORE are on two shelves in a corner cubboard where some people have a turntable.
Now I might have room for my new perfect cut brownie pan.
You ask if I use all this stuff......the answer would be...some seldom and some never.
Colanders would probably be the most used item under there.
I have all my cake decorating pans and all the other equiptment I used for decorating stored in the attic....under something or some things in the general direction of which I know where. :0)
Except for the mixer on a stand that sits on the counter corner cabinet above that  wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to the back with one of those doors that slides down to hide the shit kept in there.
Hey! If I need this shit, I've got it!  That's my reasoning, I shit you not!
Still haven't made those Cheesecake cookies. :0( Got the ingredients now. No excuse.
  
   It's 10:30 a.m. Butch and Jill are gone. Dryer will stop soon and clothes will need folding, etc.
The hampster widget has to GO. Too many ads and I can't give it food and water half the time.
Animal Cruelty...I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

D D Funny Farm...Open the door

It's 8:45 p.m. Tuesday and I still haven't had a shower and don't know where to begin.
Logan didn't want a Hungry Mans Dinner so I told him he couldn't be that hungry and walked away.
I remember Logan's friends coming after school and them getting loud as I tried to watch Dr.Phil laying on the bed....after I got hubby his newspaper to read.
Heard Jill come out of her room a few times and tell the boys to knock the noise off and dozed off.
Woke at 5:38 and she was gone...His friends were gone and he was doing homework.
She had brought him Wendys food while I was asleep.
I get myself busy fixing the skunks pans of food and fed Charlie.
Hubby decided he would eat cereal for supper.  You know what....I decided to settle for the same thing.
Fed him and did a few things beofre I decided to sit with one of the books I just got in the mail from Dr.Phil and feed my face some cereal.
Knock, knock.  Tracie.   FUCK!!!
When she saw the cereal she told me she was going to ask me if I wanted to go out and eat with her.
So she sits.... asks if she can have a bottle of water.
About that time Logan needed to use my printer for a school project on bacteria.
The efffin thing wouldn't print. I shit you not!
Both of us were trying to figure out what was wrong ...he's underneath the table it sits on checking plugs as we kept getting the  the message  ....printer offline.
My speakers kept falling down hitting him on the head ...we jiggled...we did everything but stand on our head and I'm not even sure about that. sigh!
Would go back to the table and grab a spoonful of cereal and back to my room to the printer.
Good thing I like my Wheaties mushy. :0)
After an hour or better I opened the top and looked inside to see if that piece Randy replaced was still in place. It was.
Noticed blue printer ink all inside.I shit you not!
Went and got the new printer back out of the well sealed box and set it up.
We were back in business.
Somewhere in all this Tracie decided to leave.....Usually I watch her cross the street and  get inside the door. Not tonight!
Now Logan needed a coat hanger, different colored yarn, a hole puncher, check,check,check and
spiral macaroni. What the efff. We had none.
He  got ahold of his mother on the phone and she brought some home and she has taken up where I left off.
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  

  Hubby wants me to watch Dancing With The Stars with him and some ice cream.
I'm finally getting to sit.
Logan just said goodnight to everyone and I love you.  
When I explained to Jill what all had transpired while she was out ...Logan chirped up and said we had Family Time together. 
Okay..................so that's what you call it ???    To an eleven year old it was. :0)
His project is hanging to dry and I'll sneak a picture of it to put up before I go to sleep.
He seemed very happy and satisfied with the work he did on it .
   When I asked her where Butch was ...her answer was, still celebrating.
I digress.................Michael Boulton just sang Hallelujah and the dancers, kids choir and his voice were heavenly.
Susan Boyle was supposed to be the guest singer and she is sick so he stepped in at the last minute.
So glad I got to hear him sing.  Uplifting.......yessssssssssssssssssss!
   Where was I....oh , Butch.  He has been calling her asking her to join him and go out to eat.
Went a little further with her.... so why isn't he here with you, I asked.
Becasue he has money and wants to keep celebrating, was her reply.
Mine back to her was....EXACTLY !!!  Glad you recognize that.
She hopes he stays away....he won't and we both know it.
   I'm ruining that image I want to be left with tonight of Michael Boulton singing.
Taking a shower after the show and off to dreamland with that song sung by Michael Bolton  on my mind.
The project !!!

The glue is drying.

Sleep came late and morning came early.

Hubby wanted to watch a comedy at 11 and this morning between Lady needing to be let out a few times and the pencil sharpener noise, we both were awake by 6:45.

It's a damp dreary day.

Chiropractor appointment at 11:50. 

Butch came around 6:30 a.m. in uniform. Must have got called in for overtime.

When I asked her .... she told me she didn't say two words to him and also assumed the uniform meant overtime. Did hear alot of deep sighs coming from him as I went for my coffee.

Hubby is being ever the TV commentator on the news show he watches in the morning.   Fox 25

He talks to the TV  and puts his two cents in when anchors and their guests are speaking ...then when I am out of the room this same thing goes on and he denies talking at all when I ask if he is talking to me.

I'm hearing things is what I get from him. sigh!

Have I said before???? Ain't love grand!

Yah...and I know I will miss him.

When we went to the chiropractor Monday , Dr.Sandy explained to him why his left leg is so weak and why his left foot turns wayyyyyyyyyy out.  No muscles. The damage from the cysts in his spinal cord have killed the nerves leading down his leg.

That's why it turns out and that's why it's much thinner than the right leg. He is unable to control it.

I fear his walking AT ALL days are coming to an end. That leg just doesn't want to support him even though he has Canadian crutches under his arms.

He can't take ONE STEP without them and he's been on them close to 12 years now. :0(

Logan left for school all cheerful. :0) Saying love you's and we sent them back to him.

I have never seen a kid like him. Jill goes into his bedroom...opens the blinds and lays her hand on his shoulder.  Up he gets ready to start his day. Never pisses and moans.

If he is sick he says it without whining.

My kids on the other hand were................................ well most of them anyway.

Better left unsaid. :0)

The whole house would be awake with my yelling if it were today.

I didn't use profanity, but I could YELL!  I shit you not!

Didn't dream of Michael Bolton. :0(

Whatever I dreamt of wore me out. Had lots of action of that I remember , but completely forgot it.

It's pouring out now. Hope it lets up before we have to go out. I'll look and feel like a drowned rat. :0( 

Let's see what I can get accomplished today.

Have a feeling a nap will be in store .

That's All Folks!

D D It's a woman's alternative

to change her mind.
One minute Jill wasn't going to appear in court and this morning it was a different story.
Damned if she did and damned if she didn't were her words to moi as she left out the front door this morning at 8:30 a.m.  for the second time.
George the plaintiff said he would think less of her if she didn't go and tell the truth and Butch the defendant ... doesn't want her there ?????
She left the house this morning  at 7:15 a.m. saying that she didn't want to be here when he got off work at 8 and listen to his shit.
Yesterday his voice mails and calls were loud, angry and accusing when the calls began.
In the evening they turned to humble, begging and pleading.

   It came to moi yesterday that all this baggage I carry around of my kids might be what's weighing me down. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! 

11 a.m.
   Decided to step away from the computer for awhile and clean out a junk drawer.
While I was doing it Jill came back.
She had gone up to the center where she works and entered  to continue getting ready for court.
Make up, hair.
After awhile Little Michelle a long time employee who has a horrid  married life with her druggie husband arrived for work.  We differenciate our Michelle by calling this Michelle, Little Michelle. Both are tiny, but we know which one we are referring to by using the word Little before the name.
Then came Butch!  Tracked her down.
Wasn't happy when he asked what she was doing and she told him she was getting ready for court.
Made the comment that he should have snapped George's neck when he had the chance.
She told him his mouth  and anger was what gets him in trouble. Things he says at the Moose get back to George.
More words of which I have forgot.     He leaves.
Not long after that he calls her and asks her to drive him to court.  She refused and told him to get there himself.
Somewhere along her route to court  Butch calls her again.
This time his message is..... my attorney said you need to be here or a warrant will be issued .

12:05 p.m.

If I thought I was able to sit awhile...I am sadly mistaken. :0(
Son Randy came and when he saw that I had a printer box out on the table , he asked why.
He knew I had bought 2 Canon printers at Walmart on sale for $40 each last year as I had him pick them up. 
Explained how Logan was printing schoolwork and he got a length of yarn that I had left on top of the printer to sew buttons on with along with other papers I had printed and it somehow got down inside and wound around the roller. In picking yarn out piece by piece a small clip came off and Butch thought he knew where and inserted it. The printer worked but the copies words were cut off so I just got out the new one and Logan finished his homework.  Walla!
   Oh no, not with Randy.  After much to do he managed to get the clip out and back where it belonged.
Took the new copier down and replaced it with the old . Had me looking for the empty ink cartridges to put the new ink back in and all the other stuff that came in the box. Aked me for rice and a bag with small holes so no moisture would get into the copier. Handed him a Boil in Bag by Uncle Ben and got a lesson on how to store electronic stuff .
He also brought with him meatballs he cooked in his own sauce in his crockpot and sub rolls for our lunch and would have liked us to try them right then and there. 
We had just had a pear and declined. Had to hear how good they were and I am sure they are....but damn.
In and out...in and out.  First looking for the new USB cables and some other cable in the containers we have for bottles and cans and another for paper products. They come with the printer, I was told.
Yah!!! . Told him there were none in it when I opened it , but he wasn't satisfied with that explanation.
It's printed on the box. USB cable and ? cable included.
They should be there !!!!
Then...I hadn't sealed the box with tape yet. He likes things done and done right.
So I went for the tape in my room and he did it.
Also got a lesson on where not to store electronics. Attic where I had it is not one of them.
Yep, I shit you not! 
He looked at the clock and wanted to know if I was ready to heat the meatballs up yet.
Told him in a half hour.  Maybe.............
I was about ready to open a can of Tab and take a big gulp and add a jigger of rum to it.
Still might! I  shit you not!
Between him and her today.................smoke is coming out of my ears.

   Back to the drawing board where I was an hour or more ago.
So Butch tells her his attorney has said if she don't show in court there will be a warrant for her arrest out.
She told him she was on her way.
Ten minutes later as she pulls into the parking garage he calls again. This time he is whispering.
Don't come. My attorney said that George has agreed to drop the charges and if you don't come they have no case.
Bottom line...George gave him a gift today she said and what he chooses to do with it is up to him.
He sickens her..... so she said.   . He told her later how he walked up to George and shook his hand and said no hard feelings where just an hour or so before he was saying he should have snapped his neck, going to call police when I know he has been drinking at the VFW and have him arrested, he's nothing but a drunk.
   I thought I heard her say on the phone to him that he could have his ring back. You know the ruby square cut stone in yellow gold he gave to his mother and Jill paid $140 to have it repaired because it was cut off his mother's finger when she passed away.
I heard wrong.    Wishful thinking, I guess.
He wanted his rain gear out of her car trunk. He stopped at the Moose ( which is past where his house is) and Tom who is well under way to being soused and another guy and himself are going to go fishing on this rainy day.
Already he is drinking.  Celebrating ????? 
He can tell another woman down the road how he beat this rap like he told Jill how he got got out of an Anger Management class he was ordered to attend when his ex girlfriend and himself fought over their daughter all the time.   Still does!
He knew the guy that taught the class.
 He just signed his papers that Butch complied and was in weekly attendance. 
Some favor !!!! 
He wanted Jill to go with them.. She declined and he came and got his rain gear.
I heard ring...come and get it when it was rain gear come and get it. 
Close enough! :0) Like I said...wishful thinking!
Going out on Tom's boat because his isn't running right yet.
Many is the time this year they both have told me that Tom has been so drunk he has almost got them killed .
Still hasn't taken that strip of wood that needs replacing on the French door in the livingroom.
Told Randy to do it today as he hasn't had the time...working, court and such.
Didn't work Friday, didn't work Saturday and not working today. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hubby has no idea that it is missing and we have towels rolled up to block the daylight and cold air that comes through under the door.
Useless as tits on a boar hog...HE IS!!!!
   Right before I wrote....some favor, Jill was making herself a meatball sub and I decided to too.
While waiting for hers to be made, I made a corn beef sandwich for hubby and brought it in our bedroom to him.
Next thing I know he is hollering and I can't hear what he is saying and he can't understand what I am saying back to him either......so I walk away from my sub toating with the cheese in the toaster oven to see what he wants.
The corn beef was too tough for him to chew.
I packed it on.
Offered him a meatball sub and he accepted. Mine is done, but he can't have cheese, so I left it sitting and made his.
Oh ...forgot to mention that he had tipped over the recliner to look for that efffin USB cable and the other one that Randy says should be in a plastic bag.
We both eat....he goes back in the bedroom and while I am running water to wash up the bowl that I heated meatballs and sauce in and utensils I hear him hollering again.
I can't hear you I yell and he yells ....I can't hear you back.
You would think we live in an efffin mansion. Two tv's going, water running and I know his hearing is getting bad and mine might be too.  Sheeeeesh!!!!
Now he wants to know if I am going to vacuum before he tips the chair back up.
Leave the sink and vacuum and tip the damn chair back up myself.
I used a rag to do some wiping and when I opened the built in hamper inthe bathroom I noticed a load of white clothes needs to be washed.
Later!!!!
Thought I'd get a rest....Logan just came through the door.  1:55 p.m. 
   I'm exhausted and I don't know why. Only one thing done on my mental  To Do list.
Cleaned out one drawer and  threw a few things away. Have some items I know not what they went to, but as soon as I toss them .... I will remember.   I shit you not! 

    This reads like I don't know what.  All over the place. Makes one tired...huh???
Most of my days are filled with aggrevations and SHIT.
Sometimes I want to SCREAM.  LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!!
No shower, no knitting done. Did get to read and comment on a few blogs.

  Tracie came over at 7:02 p.m. last night. Wanted to know if I would check AGAIN if the listing on her mother's house was up on the internet..
Wasn't. 
Did take the hint to leave when I put 2 plates on the table with corn beef dinner on them and the casserole dish I heated it in was EMPTY.   sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

  Tiring myself out just writing about what has transpired since I last posted yesterday evening.

A chickadee came to the sliding door looking for seed to be put out.. I accomadated it. :0)
A squirrel came ...looked in at us and I accomadated it with a treat too. :0)
They know where the food comes from.  The squirrel knows his treat will come out once I see it at the door.
Can't leave nuts out as the chihuahua ends up needing to see a vet for rectal bleeding. :0(
Two pleasant TODAY memories..... I thought I'd share.
Previewing what I just wrote and I'm reminded of the sadness Mary of mxtodis123 (another blogger) feels since someone has killed all the critters that visited her for handouts.
Some sorry ass people in this world. I shit you not!
Jill is napping and Logan is hungry and hounding me to buy him Wendy's.  Will heat him up a Hungry Man dinner. No Wendys and that's my FINAL ANSWER!
That's All Folks!

D D Another attack of lazyitis

Repeat!!!! It's another one of those days where I don't want to be up and doing something.
No reason....just because I can.  sigh!
Not having a regiment other than serving hubby his juice,2 cups of tea and a banana in the morning, getting him to the chiropractor Monday,Wednesday and Friday, his lunch and at least 5 days a week his supper, a night time snack ( Lactaid ice cream usually ) his newspaper, a piece of fruit during the early afternoon, getting him out clean clothes, ......that kind of stuff, there is time for moi.
No wait,wait,wait!!!  Ferrets to play with, ferret poop box to clean, ferrets to feed and give 2 bowls of clean fresh water 2x's a day, ferrets to pick up after once they are back in their cage.
Two dogs to wash a water bowl out for and refill, their Eucanuba food bowl to refill, check them over for fleas, brush Lady's long hair daily, 2 dogs to let out in the back yard and wait til they do their business to let them back in. Remembered their Heartworm pills today . Always give them on the 4th of the month.
 Laundry to sort, laundry to fold.
These are just the daily givens.
I know there are more .....the mind just doesn't want to work.
How did I ever work for an employer???? 
Beats moi!  I shit you not!

   Butch is at work today and goes to court tomorrow .
He keeps calling Jill and begging her to get George to not show up in court.
She keeps telling him George thinks if he don't show up he will be in default of the court order to appear he received in the mail.
After tomorrow it will go to trial. Even if George didn't show up, the state can still prosecute Butch.
Sooooooo her cell phone keeps ringing with Butch in various forms of desperation and anger.
He told her his attorney wanted to ask her a few questions.  She has told him she is not going to be there.
Makes sense what she told him to moi.
She told him it was better that she stayed away from court as nothing she said could help him.
She could only hurt him.
She is not going to lie.  What questions could she be asked?
 Was he angry ? Yes!
Was his 7 year old daughter a witness to all this? Yes!
Did he break the trailer window? Yes!
Did he threaten to kill George? Yes!
  She told him he was yelling at her now and she has had enough of it.
The month they were broke up, she was happy.
She doesn't need all his shit and him yelling all the time in her life.
She told him he hasn't learned a thing since they have been back together.
He told her that she never ever wanted to be around his daughter Alex.
She answered that with never, ever means ever and she just spent a whole day on the boat with Alex.
Which he changed to maybe he could count on ten fingers the times in two years.
Which is a lie and she began naming times.
All the while he continues to yell in the phone.
He owns what he did....but I do hope he doesn't lose his job of 22 years in the fire department.
Just yesterday he was moaning and pissing to her he didn't know where he would get the $600 he has to pay mid month to sign up to take the Captain's test.  Oh and the $150 for his attorney tomorrow.
Has to pay for his court appointed attorney. Court did recognise that he is in deep financial doo doo.
Can't afford his own attorney.
Desperation is making him act out....sigh!
  The other day when he was broke and he wanted money to eat Chinese food and have a few drinks he asked her if she thought she could ask me to borrow some money.
Absolutely NOT!    Those were her words.  Would have been mine too. I shit you not!
Maybe I'm repeating myself....I have a way of doing that or what I write looks like what I have written before. 
Oh well....please bear with me.  :0)
She confided in me that the other day when they were at the Moose the female bartender came to the end of the bar where they were sitting and looked at Butch and told him to keep his voice down because no one else sitting there wanted to know his business. Then she looked and Jill and told her she did not know why she was even with him the way he talked to her.
Jill said neither of us were drunk..we had 2 drinks. 
So that tells me something.....and it has her.
I expect she will tell him it's over....but will he beg and plead and wear her down like he always has.
Who knows. Not taking that bet! I'd be as stupid as she is if I did.

   Tracie came over last evening not too long after we got back from the Outback.
Hubby had just dozed off. :0(
Didn't make him a happy camper to wake to.......tap,tap,tap.
Wanted moi to go up to the hardware store in the center to show her what to buy for Whiteflies.
Her older brother Lonnie had bought their mother a gorgeous hybiscus tree for Mothers Day with two shades of peach flowers entertwined up the stalk of it and it bloomed in the house the 2 years before she died and 2 years since in the front picture window. I love it!
She bought gardening soil  at KMart to plant some other potted plants she bought and it had whitefly larvae in it and they are all over that beautiful plant. :0(
To soften her unexpected visit I asked him what he needed up there ( knew he had something he wanted ) and I went off with her and left him to fall back to sleep.
My seating arrangements were no different except for more shit under foot and on the console. Oh well!
Hope she can get rid of those whiteflies. but I have my doubts. 
Told her she really needs to take it outside out of that pot and wash all the dirt off the roots and use new soil to re-pot it.
Doubt if she will listen to me. Heard her say. " what if I just spray the dirt."
I didn't bother to reply back.
   Daughter Michelle brought us a large tray of corn beef and cabbage dinner last night.
Her and her hubby catered an event ( it's their catering business Jill works for) and the name of that event was Half Way To St.Patty's Day.How clever. I'm assuming that function was held in this towns Irish American Club.
Jill brought home their minestrone soup from a function she worked on Saturday.
Lunch today was minestrone soup and guess what's for supper. :0)
After eating at the Outback we had no room last night ...........except for a snack.
   Knitted a whole six rows on the sweater today.  tsk,tsk.
Now it's time to heat up that corn beef dinner and then feed the critters.
No..... make that feed the critters while it's warming up.
It's that time of the day...........sigh!
I can't seem to get out of my own way.   I shit you not!
I better use these muscles before I lose them. Just not today.
That's All Folks!

D D What have I been missing !!!

After years of shopping at Walmart , DIL Kim has been introducing moi to the sales at JCPenney.
There were small appliances there cheaper and better than at Walmart.
Then there is their outlet just up the street .
I wanted one of these, one of those... even if I did have something like it already.
The new toaster ovens have an extended back to allow for cooking a 9 inch pizza.
What a brain child someone had.
We don't use ours to cook a whole pizza, BUT just in case...........we could. :0)
No ....didn't purchase it.
This too said it was a 6 slice toaster, but so did mine and................they lie.
Four slices of bread is all that fits in my Hamilton Beach 6 slice toaster oven. :0(
I was like a kid in a candy store looking at all the kitchen ware, small appliances, curtains, bedding.
I behaved! :0)
Christmas decorations are already out on the floor to sell.  Whoa!

   Tracie saw me heading to my car last night after dark.  Came out the door to ask me where I was heading and offered to drive me to the grocery store.......after she made room for moi to sit.
Bags and bags piled on the passenger seat that she had to pile up high on the stuff in the back seat.
More new clothes for her great niece.  She had been shopping again for her.
The floor was just as bad with trash and a toilet brush. Toilet brush??? Didn't ask.
A bag of empty Sprite cans. I just found a place to plant my feet and away we went.
Not before she had to finish telling me what she started to tell me before I got in her car though. sigh!
It's always that way...I should be use to it.
I did ask about the stuff that has been piled on her back seat forever.
She told me the person that rents the apartments told her NOT to bring another thing into her apartment.
Couldn't help myself....suggested after dark as the time to do it. The devil made me do it! :0)
Her brother who is in his late 50's lives in his grandparent's house that he bought some years back and his house,yard and garage are piled with his stuff. Stuff he collects , just like she does.
He doesn't have a stove...never has.  Was married a short time years back, no kids and looks like he came out of the hills,woods,woodwork. 
She tells me he left a towel in the house, so of course I asked why.
He comes over to wash his hair she said. Of course I asked, why.
His water heater has been broke for 6 months.
Bath???? I didn't ask.  He has worked for the railroad from the time he could work and will retire in 4 years.
Money???  You betcha !
Reason? My thoughts run towards he don't want anyone to see how he lives.
I have heard that there are just small passage ways through the stuff he has piled sky high.
Not my worry. Know it's a sickness.
       Myself, I like order...long for it. Want it!
 If I ever have that bedroom off the kitchen EMPTY.....it will become a pantry. :0)
Cleaned off one of my kitchen counters last night and that thought came to mind.
It was a pleasing thought! 
Please, please, please Mr.Right. Come along soon .........................

     The morning is passing by quickly.  Too quickly for moi. :0(
Hubby is complaining of groin pain. He suspects it's the raisons he has been eating as of late that are the cause of his Diverticulitis acting up.  Could well be.
When Jill came home last night she showed us some painful sores she has on her upper right leg.
She was thinking she is now gluten intollerant. Had made a call to her doctor's office Thursday and Friday wanting a return call. No call back. . :0(
One look and I told her it's not a call she wants...it's an appointment she needs.
Looks like she has Shingles to moi.  Pain is S E V E R E and hubby has had them twice, so I'm pretty sure she has them.
   Myself...I am having a problem with my neck on the right side.
Two adjustments last week and I'm good for a day and it's back again. :0) 
 :0(
Might be time to invest in another goose down pillow from Sears orrrrrrrrrrrr JCPenney..
Seems like alot of money to spend on a pillow, but it's the kind I have the best sleeping results with.
It's been at least seven years since I puchased the one I use.
$100 divided by 7 = for under $15 a year I had no neck problems.
Of course , I suspect they have risen in price like everything else has. :0(
 My chiropractor has some interesting pillows for sale.
One of them you put water in to your liking.  One of  his chiropracic assistants uses one and loves it.
Think I will stick with what I am familiar with.
   It was 42 degrees out when I turned this computer on at 8.
It's 10 a.m. now and 49 degrees.  Good yard work day, but that's not what I'm going to do.
Might clean out a few kitchen drawers. Might not! Might knit. Might not! :0(
Ever the procrastinator!   
Definately going to the Outback though. :0)

   My son Randy came to do a little more work under the house just as I was about to post.
He has taken pictures of the work he is doing and the conditions under there that need repairing , ie; support walls . It ain't pretty.I shit you not!  Will put up pictures another day.
Did manage to get 2 loads of laundry folded. 
We are up to 53 degrees at 12:22 p.m.

That's All Folks!
